110 The Last Oracle

"God, forgive our sins!" Fam heard someone muttering among the crowd.

His confession resonated with many people around him, and many people followed the voice and began to confess and pray.

Fam's back was tightly attached to the rock behind him. The fire rain never stopped, and Fam could feel the slight vibration of the rock behind him—it was caused by the meteorite rain hitting the other side of the mountain. reaction.

The reverse slope effect of the hillside made them a temporary safe zone, but this is outdoors after all, and as long as a meteorite falls slightly close to the ground, it will cause everyone to panic. ——But in everyone's eyes, it seems that the gods really heard their confession and prayers, and deliberately left them a way out.

Most of the mountains here are stone mountains with little soil remaining on them, so there are not many plants.When these plants were burned by the rain of flames, the surrounding world gradually fell into darkness.The darkness actually gave Fam a sense of security—the flames falling from the sky became clearer in the darkness, which instead allowed everyone to predict the degree of danger here from the flight trajectories of many stones.

The time seems to be extremely difficult, and if there is no new bright spot in the sky, Fam will subconsciously pay attention and pray, so that those bright spots will not come towards them.Confession has gradually turned into a group ritual from the spontaneous behavior of some people, and even Prince Elis, who was in the crowd, joined the queue of confession—this unprecedented danger made everyone realize the preciousness and fragility of life .Now, they really have nothing but faith, and even this little place of shelter under their feet may disappear soon.

Fam clearly saw that at the foot of the mountain, the semi-molten lava had begun to form small magma ponds.Under the action of gravity, the dark red magma began to flow slowly along the mountain.On their side, a mountain is facing the north slope, and the entire hillside is this faint dark red.In some places where the streams meet, the collision of magma and water produces a large amount of water vapor, which diffuses in the air, mixed with the strong smell of sulfur in the air, making this dark red world look weird of unreality.

The thick black smoke has covered the entire sky, and the bright starry sky in the past has disappeared, and when you look up, you can only see a piece of darkness.Only when the fiery red meteorite was conceived from it, could the black smoke be seen changing and rolling with the light of that moment.

Everything is just as God has always said to them, the whole world will face destruction, and all living beings will be tested in the face of disasters.Whether it is a castle made of stone or a hut made of thatch, it will be completely destroyed in this disaster.In the face of this disaster, there is no difference between kings and civilians, men and women, old people and children—anyone who does not believe in the God of the Earth and does not follow into the refuge area will become a scorched corpse in the sea of ​​fire.

The fire rain lasted for two or three hours, and then, the red pillar in the north disappeared from the horizon.The fire rain in the sky began to gradually shrink, and the range also began to gradually shrink towards the direction of the red pillar.

Fam borrowed a "torch" from the people in the cave - it is said that it was a lighting tool brought by the angel of the gods, and walked out of the hillside carefully, walking towards the ridge along the road when he came.Most of the magma along the way has cooled, but some can still feel the temperature.When he finally climbed up the ridge, Fam looked at the dark red forest fire that was still burning in the north, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he shouted loudly to the bottom: "The rain of fire has stopped! Go down the mountain !"

……

When Wu Xiaoqing walked out of the cave where the teleportation point was located, the whole world had already changed.

The whole world outside the cave is shrouded in black haze everywhere, as if it is falling black snow.A thick layer of volcanic ash had accumulated on the ground, and after they walked by, they could still see clear footprints.

Wu Xiaoqing picked up the binoculars and saw that on the distant horizon, the volcano seemed to have stopped erupting.

"Is this over?"

"The end? How is it possible?" the search and rescue team said, "This is just the beginning, and the outbreak will last for about three days."

"What do I need to do now?"

"Nothing is needed, let them see, that's enough."

Wu Xiaoqing soon understood the meaning of this sentence.

When he walked into the cave where the king was, almost all the soldiers and officials in the cave knelt down to him, not kneeling alone like a knight, but lying on the wet ground with their mouths close to him as he passed by. Kiss the ground on the land.Even the king, who had always been close to him, was uncharacteristically after coming out to greet Wu Xiaoqing in person. He did not walk in front with Wu Xiaoqing, nor did he walk side by side, but fell behind him, bowing slightly.

When Wu Xiaoqing was walking, the people behind him dared to straighten up and follow up slowly.When Wu Xiaoqing turned around in surprise, everyone fell to the ground again.

Wu Xiaoqing used to talk to the king standing up. This time, at the request of everyone, Wu Xiaoqing sat in the king's seat. The king stood beside him, holding a water glass for him like a servant.

"How's the situation? What's the problem?" the search team asked the king.

The affairs officer in charge of checking the disaster situation carefully raised his head and replied: "It went very well, my lord, all the people in the cave are safe! Everyone is praising the Lord's mercy and kindness!"

The search and rescue team asked again dissatisfied: "I'm asking, is there any problem that needs to be solved!"

The officer obviously didn't know how to deal with the envoy, and was not used to his work rhythm. After carefully looking at the king, he said, "The water sources in many caves are polluted."

Wu Xiaoqing nodded and said, "I will send water purification equipment as soon as possible, what else?"

Everyone looked at each other: "There is no problem, my lord, everything has been arranged in an orderly manner." Indeed, in their view, in the face of such a big disaster, everyone has food, clothes, and medicine. There are even masks to wear - it's even more comfortable than they used to work at home, so there's nothing to complain about.

The search and rescue team asked: "What about the temperature, how is the weather today?"

"Hmm...it seems to be getting colder."

Of course it's getting colder. Today's temperature is four degrees lower than yesterday's. Fortunately, it's summer now, and they've brought in a lot of clothes, so it's not particularly noticeable.But this trend will continue—for such a large-scale volcanic eruption, the volcanic ash may not disperse for a month or two, and within a month or two, the temperature in the entire disaster area will drop to a precarious level.

"It will get colder in the future... You should pay attention, you can try to light a fire outside the cave and let everyone take turns to keep warm. But don't be in the cave, it will lead to widespread anoxic death."

"Lack of... oxygen?"

"In short, it is forbidden to light a fire indoors!" The attitude of the search and rescue team was very strict, but no one at the scene objected dissatisfiedly, as if this was Wu Xiaoqing's right and proper right.

"Do you know how to use the hand generator?" the search and rescue team asked again.

"Many people have already mastered it," said the officer, "They are no longer afraid of the flashlight. Many people call this beam of light an angel..."

Wu Xiaoqing didn't listen to these people here anymore, he stood up directly and left the cave.

"Your Majesty," when he left the cave, he turned his head and called Elis, "put on the mask and come with me, I have something to say."

The road between the caves is now difficult to walk because of the volcanic ash. The only few roads were also opened up by the soldiers at the risk of danger in the morning.Wu Xiaoqing and Ellis trudged through the thick pile of ash with one foot deep and one foot deep. While walking, Wu Xiaoqing talked to him about the future of his kingdom and his people.

Just like the end of the first rescue, up to now, Wu Xiaoqing’s most important work can be said to have been completed. A large number of people have arrived at the designated area, and they have been transported, as well as a large amount of food hoarded in the mountains under the previous MLM plan. Save it It should not be difficult to eat and supply for half a year to a year.After one or two months at most, they can try to resume production on this land.

"Volcanic ash itself is a good fertilizer, and there will be a good harvest if you plant the land on it," the search and rescue team explained. "I also left you a map with the identification of nearby minerals. In the nearby mountains, copper There are mines and iron ore, and coal, you can use coal to smelt iron and make farm tools..."

When the search and rescue team was talking, the king seriously recorded what he said on his mobile phone—this very old functional phone was a gift that Shen Changwen brought back from the earth and gave to the king.Although it is of little value on earth, it is still a super artifact that integrates photography, recording, lighting, and playing games here.

"And your medicine... Insulin can't be stored for a long time, so I can't keep it for you. I left you a lot of oral medicine. You have taken it in the past few days, and the effect is still good... If it goes well... , these medicines can be given to you for several years.”

"How many years later?" The Kingdom of Elis seemed to hear some signs from the tone of the search and rescue team, "Could it be that you are leaving us?"

"The mission God entrusted to us has been completed," the search and rescue team said. "We will leave after three to five days of observation at most. If you need anything, just mention it. We will satisfy you as much as possible. After that, everything depends on yourselves.”

King Elis has never been a person controlled by emotions, but after hearing what the search and rescue team said, he still couldn't help being shocked and said: "So fast, envoy? This is the most difficult time for us! "

"No, the period before the disaster was the most difficult time. Now, your only opponent is the whole world. Ensure your own health, ensure your rule, and let your people survive as much as possible, Your Majesty, This is God’s greatest hope for you.”

As soon as this sentence was finished, Wu Xiaoqing felt movement in Elis behind him. He turned around and saw Elis kneeling in front of him on one knee.
