The lava flow slowly rushed towards everyone at a speed of several inches per second. It was gentle and peaceful wherever it passed, but it swallowed up everything silently, even the dark and hard rocks.

Fu Bo stood there and watched for a long time, and his mood gradually calmed down from the initial panic.

He rubbed his head and asked, "Why does it feel... not that dangerous? It's a bit corrosive, but at this rate, I can even walk faster than it. How can I not escape?"

Zeng Pei nudged him with his elbow and gave him a look, signaling him not to disturb Jiang Ran's filming.

As a friend, if you see someone insisting on taking risks, of course you will try to persuade him/her.

But since Jiang Ran insisted on staying here, Zeng Pei thought, they shouldn't continue to influence her.

But Jiang Ran still heard what Fu Bo said.

She focused most of her attention on the screen and did not look up. She only answered Fu Bo's questions intermittently in the spare time after taking a photo.

"There are many types of volcanic eruptions, some extremely dangerous, and others relatively calm."

"The most dangerous are explosive volcanoes. When they erupt, the sound can be heard 4,800 kilometers away, and the volcanic ash can rush directly into the stratosphere, drifting around the world and persisting for a long time."

"There are also volcanoes with periodic activity, erupting every few minutes without interruption. The most typical example is Stromboli, which is known as the 'Lighthouse of the Mediterranean'."

"Iceland's Laki volcano is probably the most special one."

"This volcano is a fissure-type eruption, unique on the continent and found only beneath the Atlantic Ocean. Because of this uniqueness, fissure-type eruptions are also called Icelandic eruptions."

"Fissure eruptions generally do not produce strong explosions. Most of the time, they are gentle and quiet. The magma that emerges from the surface is mostly basic basalt magma with relatively low viscosity, slightly entrained with some debris and gas, forming large and thin lava flows."

Having said that, Fu Bo probably understood what was going on.

It turns out that the volcanic eruption here is not as dangerous as he imagined?

After calming down and taking a closer look, it seemed to be true.

Although the crater in the distance kept blasting out fiery red lava fragments and gray poisonous smoke was floating in the sky, the affected area was always very limited and did not spray too far away.

The only thing that is constantly expanding outward is the slowly moving lava flow in front of you, but it moves too slowly to make people too nervous.

Fu Bo: "Then here..."

He was halfway through his words when Zeng Pei pulled him aside.

Seeing Zeng Pei winking at him, Fu Bo hesitated for a few seconds, but finally walked back with her for a while until they reached a place where no one could hear their normal conversation.

But Fu Bo still lowered his voice and muttered: "Why did you bring me here..."

"Can't you see for yourself?" Zeng Pei was both angry and amused. He pointed at Jiang Ran, who was concentrating on his work, and said, "I'm concentrating on my work. Why do you have to ask questions at this moment?"

"How dare you criticize me?" Fu Bo pulled Zeng Pei's sleeve and whispered, "Who was it that just snatched Jiang Ran's ball?"

"I……"

Zeng Pei paused before saying, "I didn't expect she was so serious about this."

"Who could have imagined that?" Fu Bo saw that she seemed a little depressed, so he changed the subject and said soothingly, "Jiang Ran has been in the industry for so many years, and there are so many news and information on the Star Network, but none of them are related to photography... I also thought she was just saying it on the spur of the moment, just jokingly."

The two looked at each other, and soon they sighed at the same time.

Zeng Pei thought for a moment and said, "Jiang Ran is willing to take risks for the shoot, but she probably doesn't want us to take risks with her. So if anything really goes wrong later, we have to activate the life-saving bag immediately. Don't let her worry or get distracted."

Fu Bo nodded: "But we used the life-saving bag. What about Jiang Ran? I don't think she would press the button until the last moment."

"That's right," Zeng Pei said, "This depends on the security liaison. If the crisis really comes, the liaison will help her open the life bag. It's not up to her."

The two of them discussed and got things done.

Everyone's liaison officers worked in the same office. They asked their liaison officers to help pass the message to Jiang Ran's liaison officer. After repeatedly confirming the details, they finally put their minds at ease.

With his mind relaxed, Fu Bo even found the spreading lava flow cute.

A thick layer of lava flow slowly crawled out, looking like a heavy object moving house. It was hard to imagine how terrifying it was.

Fu Bo was curious and stood in front of the lava flow, wanting to step on it. However, his foot was still in mid-air when Jiang Ran called him back.

"If you want to experience the feeling of your shoes on fire, just step on them." Jiang Ran said as he pointed the camera at Fu Bo's feet. "This is a good opportunity to contribute to my photography art. Let me take a picture of my shoes on fire."

Fu Bo obviously just thought it was fun and didn't want to take any risks with his shoes. Hearing this, he awkwardly retracted his foot and quickly took a few steps back.

The lava flow is still moving, and Jiang Ran can't really let it flow onto him no matter how hard he tries.

She would take pictures for a while, and when the lava flow got closer, she would retreat a distance, fix her equipment and continue filming, and of course others followed her.

Fu Bo's curiosity did not subside for long, and it was ignited again after only ten minutes.

He didn't dare risk his shoes, so he searched his backpack for other things that could be used for experiments.

Wooden dishes, metal cans, balls of wet wool that hadn’t been thrown away…

Fu Bo took turns placing these things a few dozen centimeters in front of the lava flow and then watched them being swallowed up.

Jiang Ran's camera was also observing these things with him.

The wooden bowl was swallowed up most silently. In just a few seconds, it was trapped in the slowly crawling lava flow and the whole thing disappeared without a trace.

The metal can reacted slightly more violently, initially emitting a lot of white steam when it was hit by the lava flow, as if the gas inside was frightened out by the scorching heat. But within a few seconds, it too fell into the fiery red lava flow, becoming part of this vast army.

From beginning to end, the lava flow made no sound as it swallowed anything, and everything happened silently.

The smaller the noise, the more frightening this silent threat becomes.

As Jiang Ran was concentrating on filming these scenes, she heard a series of gasps from behind her. However, the sounds only lasted for a few seconds and then disappeared after a slapping sound.

Zeng Pei put his hands on his hips and winked at everyone, telling them not to influence Jiang Ran.

The others understood and immediately made a "no problem" gesture.

Zeng Pei saw this and winked at Fu Bo.

Zeng Pei: "Have you explained everything that needs to be explained to everyone?"

Fu Bo: "Don't worry, I've already made it clear."

Zeng Pei: "You haven't forgotten Mr. Xu, right?"

Fu Bo: "Oh, gosh, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten."

Zeng Pei looked at Fu Bo speechlessly.

How could he forget something so important? Is his brain like a goldfish's?

Fu Bo pretended not to see anything, touched his head and went to find Xu Yang.

However, just as the word "Mr. Xu" was called out, a huge roar suddenly came from the distance.

Everyone's attention was drawn in an instant, and they all looked towards the place where the loud noise came from.

The mountain lava dome collapsed in full view of the public.

The volcanic wall that stood firmly under countless cracks and lava flows suddenly broke, and a huge gap appeared at the top, and a large gray torrent burst out from there, spreading rapidly outward.

Its speed is almost hundreds of times that of lava flow.

"Oh no! Run!"

Jiang Ran hurriedly put away his equipment and shouted, "That's a pyroclastic flow!"

The others didn't hesitate and followed her closely and ran outside.

Behind the running crowd, pyroclastic flows roared along the ground with billowing smoke and dust.

It rushed down the mountainside, cutting through the thorns and thorns along the way, burying everything on the land that stood in its way, whether it was animals, ice, or humans it might encounter.

It was like a living, growing beast, doubling in size every few seconds, or like a gray-black avalanche, but far more deadly than an avalanche.

escape!

Run away!

That's a pyroclastic flow, the most deadly of all volcanic eruptions.

Throughout Earth's history, whenever a pyroclastic flow occurred within a few hundred miles of a town, the death toll from a single disaster had never been less than five digits.

"Drop your bags!" Jiang Ran yelled. "Don't take anything except your life bladder! The pyroclastic flow is coming! Run for your life!"

Upon hearing this, the others took off their backpacks and dropped them on the road while running at high speed.

The only one who was not so obedient was Jiang Ran herself. In addition to the life-saving bag, she also held two heel balls tightly in her hands, for fear that they would be swallowed up by the pyroclastic flow if she was not careful.

Although his hands were tightly grasping something, Jiang Ran's heart was hanging in the air.

Throughout history, pyroclastic flows have destroyed everything in their path. Iceland's Laki volcano erupted in 1785, when lava spewed from a 16-kilometer-long fissure, covering an area of ​​565 square kilometers.

With such a large impact...

Can they really escape?

Jiang Ran didn't know.

"Jiang Ran!" Zeng Pei suddenly shouted, "It's too dangerous here, let's open the life-saving bag quickly!"

She seemed to know that Jiang Ran would not agree so easily, and without waiting for his answer, she quickly pressed the control button of the life bag as soon as she said that.

With a crisp "drop", almost in an instant, Zeng Pei was completely wrapped in a circle of white substance, and not even a hair could be seen.

What followed was a series of "drip" and "drip" sounds.

Within a few seconds, Bai Zhiyong, Fu Bo and Ren Xiayang all opened the life bags.

Jiang Ran looked back while running at full speed, and saw only four nearly oval-shaped flowing white shells.

The white shells only stayed on the ground for a short while before they began to emit an orange glow and then flew up into the sky, intertwining with each other. They contrasted with the red lava flow spreading behind them, forming a magnificent scene.

Jiang Ran subconsciously paused and raised the tracking ball in his hand to record the scene.

Xu Yang waited until she pressed the shutter button before shouting, "Run! That debris flow is coming!"

Jiang Ran immediately started running again, shouting, "Boss Xu! Hurry up and open the life blazer! The debris flow has a wide impact area, we can't escape!"

"Who said there's no escape?"

Wherever the pyroclastic flow passes, it is like a strong wind sweeping across the land or a swarm of locusts, disinfecting all living things and leaving no grass growing or yang energy radiating.

It was not like the calm spreading lava flow, but made a huge rumbling sound as it roared and rushed forward.

Accompanied by such a loud noise, Xu Yang's voice seemed weak and small.

"I have a way to escape!" Xu Yang said.

Jiang Ran looked through the swirling sand, his face showing full determination and reliability.

The author has something to say:

The information I found is rather fragmented, and I'm not sure if a relatively quiet fissure eruption can produce pyroclastic flows. I'll just assume it can in this article.

【Small Theater】

Fu Bo woke up and said: Oh no! We left our sponsor behind!

Zeng Pei woke up and said: Oh no! Jiang Ran didn’t come back either!

Everyone: Could something have happened to them?

Xu Yang: Laxative, showing off
