Wellington, an ordinary office worker, has been very troubled recently. He and several colleagues who also witnessed the ecological park and the girl inside have now become the laughing stock of everyone.
In Europe and the United States, if a grown man talks to others every day about seeing a little girl, he will most likely be warned by the FBI. Although Wellington has not yet become such a despised person, he still makes people stay away from him because he often says some inexplicable things.
Moreover, perhaps Wellington was influenced by the girl at that time, but he also began to pay attention to things like the environment, ecology, and natural history.
He actually goes to the library to study on weekends!
Moreover, he was not fighting alone. Through the Internet, he found that many people were just like him. They had accidentally entered an ecological park covered with green grass, met a beautiful girl who told them about her life journey.
These people come from all corners of the world and come together for the same goal.
Today is May 1st, Labor Day, a day of rest.
Wellington doesn't need to make up for the holiday that was fought for workers' rights, as today is indeed an extra day off.
In the library, Wellington greeted his colleagues.
The two are currently studying the mass extinction event between the Permian and Triassic periods.
According to what they learned, more than 90% of the world's biological species became extinct in the late Permian period. Creatures such as trilobites disappeared at that time.
According to the current mainstream view, the massive volcanic eruptions in the Sichuan-Shu region and northern Siberia were one of the important reasons for this extinction.
Due to the recent abnormal climate in the South Pacific, a huge, long-lasting storm occurred in the equatorial doldrums in the past two years, which even caused a cruise ship accident and caused many casualties.
There was also a volcanic eruption this year, which cut off direct communications with a small country, and there has been no contact since then.
So the two people felt that the mass extinction of species that had occurred in history might happen again. There is an old saying in the East that learning from history can help us understand the rise and fall of nations, and studying past disasters can help us survive better in the future.
To this end, they also joined the chat channels of some wilderness survival enthusiasts, but these wilderness survival enthusiasts seemed a little different from what they imagined.
For example, the most frequently discussed topic in the channel is how people will survive when zombies come. There are many people who are usually active in speaking and are obviously big shots who talk about building bunkers, storing ten years of food, preparing weapons, etc., and they also post photos and videos.
Wellington couldn't help but ask in the channel: "I think that compared to mutant zombies attacking humans, it might be more likely that a super volcano like the one in Yellowstone Park will erupt. If a super volcano dozens of kilometers away from us erupts, how can we survive?"
After he asked the question, the entire channel was silent for more than ten seconds.
Then, the big guy typed out a line of words.
"I think your worry is completely unnecessary. We live in peace. How could a super volcano erupt? Let's talk about the zombie siege."
Seeing this, Wellington did not continue to argue with the other party.
These people are far from understanding the power of nature!
After studying for a while, Wellington took out his mobile phone and prepared to take a break.
After scrolling through a few Tik Tok videos, he saw a short video.
This short video comes from Silent Media, Lu Ban’s company, and is a trailer.
Wellington has seen Lu Ban's movies, and his evaluation of the film director is that he is quite talented, but not his cup of tea.
Like some famous works, Wellington admitted that "War and Peace" is an immortal masterpiece, which does not conflict with the fact that he fell asleep after reading it for more than ten minutes.
It’s because of my own low level of aesthetic taste, not the book.
The same goes for Lu Ban’s movies.
Wellington still likes to watch some family-friendly movies, even if the characters in the movies are not that smart, as long as it's fun.
Lu Ban’s movies are all too heavy.
But to be honest, the visual enjoyment of Lu Ban's movie is still very strong, whether it is the heart-stopping tide-like herds of beasts when the monsters attack, or the raging waves and huge storms on the sea of the island, these are the ultimate visual experience.
Through the Bluetooth headset, Wellington heard the sound in the video, which was something similar to a news broadcast.
"...This volcanic eruption will affect more than ten countries and regions, and further statistics on the number of victims are underway..."
"…the West Coast, which was hit by the hurricane, has been severely damaged, with more than 100,000 people displaced. It is understood that international humanitarian aid is on its way to the affected areas…"
"...Geologists said that according to current observations, the possibility of a supervolcano eruption cannot be ruled out. The expert told reporters that the last eruption of the volcano was 300 million years ago, and the eruption at that time shaped the topography of the entire continent..."
News reports in various languages are mixed together, and only the sound is used to create a world hit by natural disasters.
While the report is being broadcast, there are also related news reports in the video.
A volcano erupted in front of the camera. The huge volcanic rocks were blown up as lightly as feathers, mixed with blazing flames, and flew towards the distance.
Just as screams and car horns were intertwined, the shock wave arrived.
In an instant, the cameraman seemed to be hit by something, and the entire lens flew into the air. It could be seen that the half-melted rocks were burned red and were falling into the city, igniting this originally peaceful world.
Clang——
The camera fell to the ground and could only see half of the volcano and the crowd fleeing in panic.
The next moment, a huge flaming rock was seen coming towards the camera. The sense of oppression seemed to overflow the screen, leaving people with a breath hanging in their throats.
When people are truly frightened, they are unable to scream.
Wellington's hands were stiff as he gripped the phone tightly. He saw the hot stone on the screen smashing towards him outside the screen, and heard desperate cries and sharp explosions in his ears.
Bang——
As the stone hits the camera, the world is engulfed in flames.
Wellington could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, the title of this work finally appeared on the screen.
"end".
Wellington only then came to his senses and realized that what he had just watched was a video, not real news.
He felt as if he were there personally, as if he were one of the people fleeing from a volcanic eruption.
The surrounding libraries were peaceful and quiet, and no disaster had occurred.
He breathed a sigh of relief and thought at the same time.
"What a coincidence? Lu Ban's movie is a disaster movie about a volcanic eruption?"
