Chapter 459 Heat Stroke Warning

Ji Changqing sensed the situation underground and found that the magma was rising at a faster speed than before.

If left unchecked, the magma chamber could refill in a matter of hours or even days, potentially triggering a second eruption.

Sensing his emotions, He Rui couldn't help but speak up: "Is the situation bad? How about we retreat? Anyway, we've already notified the nearby shelters, and you've diverted a large wave of magma. It's time for the people around here to evacuate too. We've done our best."

Ji Changqing fell silent.

After five years of the apocalypse, the only thing in his memory that seemed to be related to a volcanic eruption was the last year. It was said that a volcano erupted somewhere, and the exact number of people who died was impossible to verify - because almost no one who was really close to it survived.

Few survived, and all they heard was that volcanic ash covered the sky and fell like black snow. Acid rain and reduced sunlight made it even more difficult to grow crops, and many people developed severe respiratory diseases from inhaling volcanic ash.

It was a disaster he had only heard of but never seen.

However, it seems that the disaster, like the alien virus, was not entirely destructive. Although the overall disadvantages outweighed the advantages and the harm was extremely great, it did produce some unexpected effects.

In the years before the eruption, the persistent high temperatures and radiation in the summer were unbearable.

The surface temperature often exceeds 50 or 60 degrees Celsius, or even higher. Walking outdoors for more than two hours may cause fatal heat stroke. Survivors have to avoid the sun like the plague.

After the rumored volcanic eruption, the surface temperature dropped, extreme high temperature weather decreased, and the number of deaths from heat stroke decreased significantly.

After a long silence, Ji Changqing finally spoke: "I'm wondering if I should directly address the source... Perhaps I can try to bring the entire area, including the underground magma chamber, into my domain."

He Rui was stunned, subconsciously feeling that something was wrong: "Isn't this too risky? Directly disturbing the earth's crust, what if it causes a collapse or an earthquake? We don't understand geology, and we might even cause more trouble."

Ji Changqing nodded in agreement. As expected, when two people think together, they always come up with aspects that the other person hasn't considered.

The two looked at each other, and He Rui suddenly had an idea: "How about we ask an expert? Use the communicator to contact the shelter and see if they have any. If they say don't worry about it, then we can just evacuate."

Ji Changqing frowned slightly, lowered his eyes to think, and was a little hesitant.

Once he took the initiative to contact the shelter, it would be tantamount to confirming that He Rui, who had just warned of the volcanic eruption, was related to him and that they were together.

If possible, he still didn't want to bring unnecessary attention and danger to the other party.

After a moment of silence, he whispered, "I'm worried that being bound to you will cause you trouble."

He Rui was speechless. "No, Tietie, why are you here again? Over and over again? What's wrong with me being with you openly? I'm not weak now, what am I afraid of? Come one on one! Come a pair on a pair!"

He paused, then added softly, "As for the matter of the pregnant woman, clarify it as soon as possible. I don't want to be inexplicably mistaken for a mistress when I'm the original wife..."

Ji Changqing looked at him with burning eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. Finally, he nodded slightly, raised his hand and took out a black communicator out of thin air.

He Rui blinked and asked curiously, "Didn't you leave the communicator behind during the last beast tide? Did you retrieve it remotely?"

Ji Changqing denied it: "No, that place has already exceeded the boundary of my domain. I just took it from a shelter within my domain."

He Rui watched his brother Ji start to operate the communicator, nodded, and said nothing more.

Soon, the communication began to hum with small noises and a loud electrical sound. Ji Changqing spoke calmly and concisely, explaining the situation: "The Chixiashan volcano in Yunhai City, Jiongnan Province has erupted. I have already dealt with the first wave of eruption materials, but the underground magma continues to rise, which may trigger a second eruption.

My mental strength cannot sustain the suppression for long. Tell me the solution."

At first, the communicator was silent, with only a few noisy noises, but after a few seconds, as if the signal was delayed, the communicator suddenly exploded.

"It's the one who dealt with the beast tide before!"

"He's still alive!"

"Quick! Find an expert! Quick!"

“…”

There was unconcealable excitement in the noisy voices. It was likely that the strong man who had solved the survival problem and had been missing for more than a month and was suspected to be dead had reappeared and once again took the initiative to stand on the front line to fight against the natural disaster.

It's hard not to be excited about this news.

The voices on the communicator rose and fell like a pot of boiling water. It was not until someone shouted to maintain order that the system finally quieted down.

A few minutes later, an expert's voice rang out excitedly, "I, I just heard the news! Someone really controlled the volcanic eruption? This is simply..."

Someone on the communicator interrupted impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense! Just tell me the solution!"

The expert quickly responded, "Okay, okay!" and then quickly offered a suggestion:
