My courtyard shelter

After hanging up the phone, Xu Dong immediately greeted:

"Mom, wife, it's okay. The earthquake is in the beautiful country. Let's go inside quickly!"

Father Xu was very surprised: "How did the earthquake in the beautiful country spread to us? Is there a Pacific Ocean in between?"

"Songshi Volcano erupted, and the situation this time is even more serious than Heshi Mountain in Nisang."

Xu Dong said worriedly.

"Sulfur stone volcano? What the hell? Never heard of it?"

Father Xu shook his head. The old man didn't take this matter to heart at all. After all, one is in the Eastern Hemisphere and the other is in the Western Hemisphere. The two sides are far apart!

Xiaobao rushed to explain: "Grandpa, Sulfur Rock Volcano is a super volcano. I have seen a documentary before. It said that if it erupts, the entire world will be destroyed."

Xu Dong immediately agreed.

This matter must be taken seriously.

If it really came to that point, their family would have no choice but to hide in the basement and live there for a few decades, maybe there would still be a glimmer of hope.

"Third brother, don't scare mom?"

Father Xu was still okay, but Mother Xu panicked first.

Xu Dong quickly comforted him: "Mom, I just said it's possible. The probability of this is very small."

"Husband, should we go back to Yanjing?"

Yang Lina was also a little panicked.

"It's not necessary. There is a large coalfield near Sydney with sufficient energy supply. Moreover, there are less than 20 million people in the entire Kangaroo Country, so there is little pressure on food. It is safer for us to stay here.

"Well, the third child is right. Our family shouldn't go anywhere, just stay in the manor. Anyway, there is no shortage of food and drink at home. Let's wait and see the situation first."

Father Xu agreed.

"Dad, do we still want to go to school?"

Lele asked expectantly.

Xu Dong touched his chin: "If the school opens normally, you will go. If the school is closed, you guys will just stay at home."

"Ah... still have to wait for notification?"

The apocalypse is too far away for the five siblings. They only care about whether the summer vacation will be postponed. Even Xiaobao, who has top academic performance, does not like to go to school.

"Okay, go back to the house quickly!"

Xu Dong waved his hand.

After everyone returned to the house, Xu's father turned on the TV first, and everyone gathered in the living room to watch the news.

The official response was not slow.

In order to alleviate the panic, the TV station temporarily launched a live broadcast column about the "Sulfur Rock Volcano". Unfortunately, it was midnight in the beautiful country at this time, and there were not many images captured by satellites.

Although the video is only a few dozen seconds long, it fortunately completely records the entire outbreak process.

At 1:05 a.m. in the local morning, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted from the originally quiet and peaceful Sulfur Stone Plateau.

The top of the mountain looked like the turret of a tank that had been destroyed by explosion. It was jumped into the sky by the energy of more than a thousand Hiroshima atomic bombs per second.

A large amount of magma rubble, mixed with smoke, shot straight into the sky like a beam of death.

Next, the video screen once again plunged into darkness, with thick volcanic ash completely blocking the sky. The specific situation will not be known until dawn.

However, it seems that the situation is not optimistic.

The video was played several times, and then the host asked the question that everyone was most concerned about:

"Academician Liu, you are an expert in my country's geology and blue star physics research. How big is the scale of this sulfonite volcano eruption?"

"The Sulfonite Volcano was formed 640,000 years ago. Geologically speaking, the eighth-level volcano is based on the Sulfonite Volcano. It is a veritable super volcano."

Academician Liu replied calmly.

"Can you tell us what an eight-level volcano is? I think many viewers in front of the TV don't quite understand the concept of a super volcano."

"To put it simply, it is a volcanic eruption. The material ejected is mainly magma and volcanic ash. The amount must be at least more than 100 cubic kilometers to be considered a super volcanic eruption.

What is the concept of 100 cubic kilometers? It is a big mountain. What we usually call atomic bombs and nuclear bombs are simply very small for a volcanic eruption of this level. "

"Academician Liu, according to your speculation, what is the current state of Beautiful Country? How big is the overall loss?"

Academician Liu thought about it for a while: "Due to the lack of relevant data, I don't know the specific situation.

However, according to the previously detected earthquake data, the magnitude of this earthquake reached an astonishing level 11. Even the most optimistic estimates may result in heavy losses..."

"Ahem..." the host interrupted directly, "Will this volcanic eruption affect our country? I see a lot of rumors on the Internet, all talking about the end of the world. What do you think?"

"It will have little impact on the country in the short term, so there is no need to panic. I can assure everyone that the so-called doomsday is purely nonsense without scientific basis."

Academician Liu is unequivocal.

The host looked at another guest: "Captain Li, if ordinary people encounter such an emergency, how should they save themselves?"

"It's best to find an open space and lie down on the ground with your head in your hands. As long as there are no cracks in the ground, your personal safety can still be guaranteed."

"Many viewers have left us messages and want to ask if they can hide in the basement or underground bunker?"

"My point of view is that I don't recommend it. Under an earthquake of magnitude 11, any underground shelter is useless. Even if you don't bury yourself alive, you can easily trap yourself to death."

…

At 6:30 in the evening, dinner started at the old Xu family.

Xu's mother was worried, so she used the dinner time to call her daughter again.

"How is the situation over there?"

"Mom, I'm fine here. Fortunately, the third child sent us a lot of canned food. Now people are going crazy to grab food outside. Guess how much a pound of corn flour costs on the black market now?"

"How much?"

"It's almost 200 yuan."

"Why has it increased so much?"

Xu's mother was surprised.

"I guess they are afraid. There are all kinds of rumors on the Internet now. Everyone would rather believe it. Besides, what's the use of money? Food is still the most reliable."

Xu Ting sighed.

This environment has not been around for several years. I didn't expect to encounter such an emergency again. It's really a disaster.

Xu Dong interrupted and asked: "Has the country declared a state of emergency?"

"Not yet."

"Sister, you and your brother-in-law should not stay in Baofu. Go back to Yanjing quickly. You can stay at my place or go to Lingling's house."

Xu Dong reminded.

"What will happen to the company if we leave?"

"It's already this late, why are you still managing the company? Just give them a month off, you don't have any production tasks anyway, so there's no loss to speak of."

"What about the employees..."

"During the holiday, they will only receive a basic salary, and I guess they don't have the heart to work now."

ps: Please give me recommendations and monthly tickets!
