Lu Yuan ran as fast as he could, shouting to everyone he met to get to the base's buildings as soon as possible to avoid the disaster. Everyone started to rush towards the base in groups, no longer caring about whether there would be another earthquake or anything like that. The splashing lava above their heads was a real danger.

Lu Yuan quickly ran to the tent camp on the back mountain, but after searching for a long time, he could not find Xiao Shan and her family. His own tent was also empty.

Just as Lu Yuan was at a loss, a shout suddenly came from afar.

Xiao Shan was holding a cane and frantically shouting at the Fourth Middle School.

"Lu Yuan! Lu Yuan, where are you?" The voice was extremely excited, with a hint of despair, clearly indicating that they had been searching for a long time.

Lu Yuan quickly shouted loudly at Xiao Shan, and then others rushed towards him.

When Lu Yuan saw Xiao Shan looking disheveled, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

"You scared me to death! I'm so glad you're alright. There's a volcano on the other side of the rift valley, and it's constantly erupting lava. We need to hurry and hide in the shelter in the camp. By the way, where are Grandpa, Grandma, and Mom and Dad?" Lu Yuan hugged Xiao Shan tightly and asked anxiously.

After wiping away her tears with her sleeve, Xiaoshan said, "I just got Grandpa and Grandma into the underground shelter. You should come with me right away; it's too dangerous outside!"

Lu Yuan nodded immediately, then grabbed Xiao Shan and ran towards the shelter.

The two rushed into the shelter, where they found their grandparents standing anxiously at the door, while their parents tried to persuade them to come back quickly. However, the two elderly people remained standing at the door.

When the two elderly people saw Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan, they breathed a sigh of relief, and Grandma's tears fell uncontrollably again.

"Oh dear, why are you running around like that? It's so dangerous outside! You scared Grandma to death. You can't run around like that anymore!" After saying that, Grandma pulled Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan in front of her and carefully looked them over. Only after confirming that they were not injured did she breathe a sigh of relief.

The group huddled in the cramped room, listening to the tremendous noise outside, as if they were being subjected to a carpet bombing. The ground shook continuously, and the light bulbs on the roof of the shelter swayed constantly, threatening to fall at any moment.

Lu Yuan quickly led his family to safety, listening to the continuous explosions outside. These were the sounds of lava falling from the upper floors to the ground, and the surrounding temperature was rising steadily.

Moreover, it was mixed with various pungent smells, and the room was already filled with smoke. Everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses with wet towels, who knows if there might be any harmful gases in the smoke.

The family sat silently in their small room, waiting for the disaster to end.

I don't know how much time had passed, but the noise outside seemed to have subsided considerably.

So Lu Yuanda boldly looked outside and saw that the newly built house had been smashed by lava, leaving a hole. Half of the house had collapsed, but fortunately, the collapsed house did not block the exit of the refuge room.

After Lu Yuan walked outside again, he found that in addition to the house they were in, the other houses had also suffered varying degrees of damage. The entire base was filled with a pungent smell, as if it had been affected by lava. Lu Yuan felt as if he were in a warm ocean, with a pungent smell and scorching heat everywhere.

The volcanic eruption finally came to an end. Lu Yuan stepped outside and saw a large pool of black lava still radiating residual heat. This mass of lava must have weighed at least several hundred kilograms, and the high temperature within it was constantly igniting some wooden materials. These materials were all brought from outside, but they hadn't even been enjoyed before they were destroyed, which made Lu Yuan feel a pang of heartache.

After an unknown amount of time, people emerged from the shelters. The streets and houses were littered with the ravages of lava, and many had perished in the attack.

Then everyone spontaneously went to the nearby ruins and neatly arranged the dead people in the middle of the road.

The lava was still warm, so everyone could only leave it where it was. Some of the destroyed houses were no longer habitable, so they marked the abandoned houses with signs indicating they were dangerous, to prevent other police officers from going inside and suffering further harm.

Soon everyone had finished tidying up the bodies. The road was littered with corpses, some of which were charred, others missing limbs. Everyone could only try their best to piece the remains together.

Seeing the corpses scattered everywhere, everyone stood silently on both sides of the road, silently mourning for these people. After all, just a few hours ago, these people were chatting and laughing with everyone, busy with their work. However, the unusual volcanic eruption caused so many deaths, which was something no one could have imagined.

Lu Yuan's heart sank to the bottom. He didn't know how to comfort everyone. After all, among these dead people were fathers, sons, husbands, and wives. Their deaths were obviously meaningless and could only be blamed on the sudden volcanic eruption.

After sighing, Lu Yuan said to everyone, "Let's gather all the bodies of these dead people in our square and cremate them! The living must go on with their lives. Everyone, gather in the square in a little while, and we'll send off these dead people!"
