Chapter 125: Undersea Volcano Eruption

The rumbling sound continued to reach my ears, and the people living in the safety cabin came out one after another, and the loudspeaker was still shouting.

"Please all survivors stay in your rooms and do not go out..."

Outside the shelter, the roaring sounds attracted the curiosity of many people, and they all stood in the corridor.

Fortunately, there was a welded glass window outside the safety cabin corridor, so the volcanic ash could not fly in.

"What's this……."

"What are those things floating in the air outside?"

"Why does it look a bit like volcanic ash..."

"Don't scare me, volcanic ash can kill you if you inhale too much of it..."

The sound of survivors talking could be heard constantly in the corridor. Xiang Yu looked out the window. Even if she didn't go out, she could imagine what the situation was outside at the moment.

Under the continued high temperature, water resources are scarce, submarine volcanoes are erupting, and some volcanoes that were originally dormant are also erupting one after another.

During this period, volcanic ash was rampant and the air was polluted. Many survivors died of lung infections due to breathing too much air mixed with volcanic ash.

But the harm of volcanic ash goes far beyond that. Later, after testing and analysis, it was found that it contained several chemical substances.

Just like acid rain, it will corrode the eyes, skin, and respiratory system, and people will die slowly and painfully as the corrosion progresses.

Outside the safety capsule, survivors living in shanty towns have already walked out. They are surrounded by air filled with volcanic ash and looking up at the sky.

No matter what the loudspeakers in the shelter shouted, their curiosity could not be suppressed.

"Please all survivors lock your doors and windows and do not go out. Staff will come to your door later..."

Some people were aware of the damage caused by volcanic ash. They hid in their rooms and dared not come out. Some people even moved from shanty towns to low-grade safety cabins overnight.

They no longer feel sorry for contribution points.

For a time, the low-end safety cabins were in short supply, but when there were no rooms left in the low-end safety cabins, they moved to the mid-range safety cabins, but how could they afford the mid-range safety cabins?

A mid-range safe cabin rental for one month costs 500 contribution points.

More than an hour later, the staff of the shelter came to the door. Xiang Yu listened to the knocking on the door and did not let anyone in.

Instead, he opened the door and walked out.

Four staff members in black work clothes were standing outside the door with identity badges hanging on their chests, and two of them were pushing a cart.

There were a bunch of dust masks in the car, with two air filters on the masks.

"Do you need to buy a mask? Two hundred contribution points each..." Several people brought a mask to Xiang Yu.

"No, I have my own," Xiang Yu refused several people. She had bought five masks before the end of the world. Taking turns to use them would be enough for her to get through this period of time.

A few people thought Xiang Yu was thinking it was too expensive, so they told Xiang Yu about the dangers of volcanic ash and asked Xiang Yu to reconsider it. After all, if you go out without wearing a mask, it may be fatal.

Seeing that Xiang Yu insisted on refusing, the few people did not try to persuade him anymore, but just told Xiang Yu that if he really didn't have a mask, it would be better for him not to go out.

The next morning, Xiang Yu checked the window immediately after getting up, and saw that a layer of volcanic ash was stuck on the window.

When I looked outside through the glass window, everything outside was blurry and gray covered the world.

Not only the windows, but in just one night, the volcanic ash had covered everything that could be covered.

To be on the safe side, Xiang Yu blocked all the gaps in the windows, leaving only the ventilation holes at the door, and placed several pots of green plants in the room.

I felt relieved only after I installed the air purifier.

At this time, the safety cabin was already crowded with survivors from the shantytowns, who could not afford to rent a mid-range safety cabin.

But I didn’t want to continue living in the shantytown, and there was no room left in the low-grade safety cabin.

They then turned their attention to the tenants who were resisting the safe cabin, who were guarding outside the door of the low-end safe cabin.

When she sees someone coming out, she asks the other person if he or she is interested in sharing a house with her, even if she has to pay more of the rent.

The tin houses in the shantytowns could not protect themselves from the volcanic ash. After one night, when they woke up, their faces and bodies were almost completely covered in volcanic ash.

They are not stupid. They used to feel sorry for the contribution points, but now they just want to survive. They can earn contribution points even if they lose them.

But if they have lost their lives, it will be useless no matter how many contribution points they accumulate.

They squatted outside the door for a whole day, and they actually met several survivors who were willing to share the house with them.

Xiang Yu stood in the corridor. The welded glass outside the corridor was also covered with gray at this moment.

There were suddenly many people in the safe cabin. After looking for a while, Xiang Yu returned to the room.

She exchanged some ammunition and firearms a few days ago, and now she has more than a thousand contribution points left in her ID card.

She has already rented the safety cabin until next year and can now lie down.

There are more and more survivors sharing the safe cabin, and people in the shelter are urged every day to go out as little as possible.

The survivors had nothing to do so they walked along the corridor with their neighbors.
