I don't know what's going on, but the temperature in the rift valley used to be consistently high, but recently a cold wind has started to blow.
In response to this unusual weather, Lu Yuan specifically sought out several researchers from the base who were in charge of weather.
When they explained that this weather was actually caused by unstable air pressure due to the terrain in the rift valley, resulting in cold winds, and that this situation wouldn't last long, Lu Yuan was finally relieved.
After several months, the mining output in the mining area seemed to have declined somewhat. The quality and quantity of ore produced day after day began to decrease slowly. Lu Yuan knew it was time to start mining the other mining areas he had found.
However, when Hei Zi and his group arrived with the mining report, a sudden, earth-shaking sensation came from afar.
Everyone was so frightened that they quickly moved to nearby places where they could hide.
However, this small earthquake did not last long, and the world returned to calm a few minutes later.
Hei Zi and the other team members watching the game were still shaken. They waited for a few minutes before slowly standing up.
"Holy crap, what's going on? Another earthquake?" Hei Zi dusted himself off and stood up to look into the distance.
Everyone in the camp was startled by the powerful tremor. After regaining their senses, they quickly gathered together and began to discuss and inquire about the cause of the tremor.
Hei Zi spat and then led several members of the exploration team into Lu Yuan's office.
"Wow, your picture frame was shaken off? Looks like this earthquake was pretty strong!"
Seeing Lu Yuan straightening the photo frame, Hei Zi rushed over to help while saying something.
After straightening the photo frame, Lu Yuan sighed and then checked the time.
"How's it going? Have they taken over the site for the new mine?"
Hei Zi shook his head and handed over the report: "No, they did find some mining areas with even better ore quality elsewhere! They're not far from our location!"
"That's good. As long as they didn't take over our mine, that's fine. Let's get ready quickly and go take over their mine!"
As Lu Yuan spoke, he showed the report in his hand to his desk. After comparing the reports, they finally selected two mining areas as their next sites.
Just after everyone finished discussing the matter, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
The group put down what they were carrying and opened the door with a hint of doubt. They saw a number of miners crowding around, while Old Qin kept waving to them.
"Alright, everyone, don't panic. I'll report this to President Lu immediately, and we'll wait for him to hold a meeting to decide whether we need to evacuate!"
As Lao Qin spoke, he walked inside, sweat pouring down his forehead.
"Old Qin? What's wrong? What's the matter that requires evacuation?"
Lu Yuan asked with some surprise, after all, the evacuation was a matter of great importance, and Lao Qin, as the geological safety officer, was directly responsible for this matter. In the event of any danger, they were responsible for assessing the level of danger of the event to determine whether to evacuate.
At this moment, Lao Qin's eyes revealed a hint of panic.
Lu Yuan gently pulled Lao Qin inside, then closed the office door and stared at Lao Qin with a serious expression.
"What happened? You seem flustered and even said you wanted to evacuate. What's wrong?"
Old Qin took the glass of water Lu Yuan handed him, drank it all in one gulp, and then, after catching his breath, began to say, "President Lu, it's like this, the small earthquake just now was caused by Zhao Tinghai's side using prohibited substances. There has been a serious collapse there, and a large amount of black mist is leaking out of the cave and is surging towards our direction!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately showed expressions of fear. Lu Yuan frowned, inwardly cursing Zhao Tinghai, that pig of an opponent, for actually doing such a thing.
So Lu Yuan quickly asked again, "What's the situation over there? Did you just see it with your own eyes?"
Old Qin nodded hurriedly, then took out his phone and handed it to Lu Yuan.
"This is a video I just filmed at Zhao Tinghai's place. At the moment of the explosion, a large amount of black mist rushed out of the cave. They probably opened up an underground cavity. Due to the high temperature inside and the increased amount of black mist, the moment it rushed out, it was a towering cloud of black mist!"
Hei Zi and the others quickly gathered around to watch the video on the phone. Lu Yuan zoomed in on the video, which showed a scene of black mist enveloping the sky and earth, with everyone scattering and running away. At the moment of the explosion, boulders kept falling. This time, because they had detonated the empty valley, which seemed to contain some flammable gas, a series of explosions occurred. The scene in the video could definitely be described as hell on earth.
Upon seeing the image in the photo, the group immediately panicked. Even Hei Zi, who was usually incredibly bold, showed a surprising hint of panic on his face this time.
"Lu Yuan, this black fog is highly poisonous! We'd better prepare to evacuate quickly, or it will be too late. We still have so many pigs, cattle, sheep, and poultry here; we can't just let them go to waste!"
Lu Yuan nodded and said softly, "Don't rush. Let's go check out the situation first, see how fast and strong this black mist is, and then come back to make a judgment!"
