There was no other way, so Lu Yuan had to find someone to remove the volcanic ash. Otherwise, everyone's lives would be in serious danger, since the volcanic ash contained a huge amount of sulfides, and inhaling too much of it could damage one's respiratory system and immune system.
On this day, Lu Yuan was cleaning up the sulfides with these people when suddenly a violent tremor came from afar.
Lu Yuan quickly put it down, and together with the others, he watched the huge rocks falling from the distant mountain, and his heart sank.
"Damn it, there hasn't been an earthquake for two months, and now another one is coming. This is ridiculous! Quickly, get some people underground. If these boulders roll down, don't worry about anything else, just save our lives!"
The people next to him nodded quickly. Now that there was no communication equipment, Lu Yuan could only be accompanied by a few guards or telephone operators at all times, who would relay his orders to him.
After all, Lu Yuan sometimes comes up with new decisions, and it would be very slow to notify everyone one by one. So every time he goes out, he is accompanied by more than ten people, who are his telephone operators.
Lu Yuan originally planned to build some old-fashioned telephones in each room, but due to changes in the ionosphere, wireless devices could no longer be used, and some old-fashioned wired telephones could not be developed due to a lack of materials.
Several people ran away, but having lived through so much disaster, the people already knew what to do, and they spontaneously went to the underground shelters to escape the catastrophe.
Lu Yuan watched as the mountaintop shook incessantly, with boulders sliding down from the summit one by one. After their long journey, the immense kinetic energy they carried shattered the defensive stone walls that Lu Yuan had specially built at the foot of the mountain.
Fortunately, the defensive stone walls built by Lu Yuan were sturdy enough. Although they were smashed to pieces, they prevented the boulders from rolling downhill any further.
However, this earthquake was far from simple. Lu Yuan was frowning in the dark underground shelter. He checked the time and found that half an hour had passed and the earthquake was still continuing. The shaking made his feet feel numb.
Looking out through the observation hole, Lu Yuan saw a thick cloud of smoke rising from the ground, making everything pitch black and impossible to see what was happening outside.
However, the ground beneath his feet continued to tremble, and Lu Yuan suddenly had a bad thought: could it be that the earthquake had caused the continental plates to split apart again?
He's still at the new base, while Xiaoshan and her family are on the other side. Although the road has been built, it still takes a lot of time to get here, at least several hours, instead of crossing mountains and valleys once.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan's heart sank. He quickly looked through another observation hole, but still saw the sky filled with dust. A thick cloud of dust rushed in through the Guanwang hole and into Lu Yuan's mouth and nose. He immediately felt a tightness in his chest and coughed violently.
"Damn it, what kind of earthquake is this that's lasting for so long!"
Lu Yuan was also confused about what was going on. After all, he didn't know what had happened outside, and there was no one outside now. If he wanted to go out, he would be in great danger.
Hiding in the dark room, Lu Yuan kept hoping that the earthquake would stop, but it seemed that God was playing a joke on him. The earthquake lasted for more than two hours before it slowly stopped.
The observation hole was already blocked by the large amount of smoke and dust that had been released. After gently poking through the thick layer of smoke and dust with a stick, a smell of sulfides immediately came from outside. Lu Yuan pointed to his eyebrows and said, "This is volcanic ash."
After waiting a while longer, until the earthquake was completely over, Lu Yuan gently lifted the heavy cover.
The cover, which should have been easy to open, took Lu Yuan a lot of effort to push open. After pushing it open, Lu Yuan was completely stunned. He saw that there was a layer of soot more than 30 centimeters thick pressed on the cover.
Moreover, in addition to volcanic ash, there were also some gravel and other debris in this smoke and dust. Lu Yuan immediately understood why the cover was so heavy.
After crawling out of the tunnel, Lu Yuan quickly looked outside and saw that the smoke and dust had not yet dissipated, so he could only cover his mouth and nose with his sleeve.
Now his biggest concern is how his farmland is doing. If all the farmland is buried because of this disaster, then all their hard work will have been in vain.
Many others shared Lu Yuan's thoughts. They rushed out of the ground and ran towards the farmland. When they saw the endless expanse of black ash, everyone collapsed to the ground, mouths agape, speechless. Some even began to wail. These things were undoubtedly their last hope, but they were all buried by this sudden earthquake and the thick volcanic ash.
Several people ran towards the farmland while crying. They kept cursing the injustice of the heavens, but there was nothing they could do. They could only try their best to pull the volcanic ash out of the fields with their hands, but they couldn't pull anything out. Obviously, the plants had all died in the volcanic ash.
