Chapter 197 Military Base

Everyone's faces changed and rushed out of the tent. The cold wind was piercing outside, and there was a noise in the woods not far away, and some animal roared from time to time. The roar from the ground became clearer and clearer. Zhang Ping shouted without thinking, "Don't panic, pack up quickly, and we're ready to leave here immediately."

Everyone finished cleaning up in a hurry, but they saw Zhang Ping lying on the ground and listening to the movement on the ground. At this time, seeing that everyone had finished cleaning up, they jumped up and pointed to the south and shouted, "Let's go south!"

At this time, the roar of the ground became louder and louder, and the off-road vehicle bumped on the road, avoiding the equally frightened animals in front of and behind the car from time to time. Except for the range of the front car lanterns, nothing can be seen clearly. While driving, Zhang Ping talked to everyone on the walkie-talkie: "Don't panic. Keep up with Yong. Now we are far away from the earthquake zone. It's okay. It's okay!"

Suddenly, I heard Ren Yuwei shouting: "Look, the back is the direction we just stayed in. What is that?"

Then came Qin Hansheng's trill from the walkie-talkie: "Bison, that's a bison, a group of bison rushing towards us. Zhang Ping, get out of the way!"

Zhang Ping is a spirit, a herd of bison. In case they let them overw the off-road vehicle, these people will not live. With a dozen steering wheels, the thorns drove out, and the cars behind followed closely. After driving for less than two minutes, I saw dozens of wild bison, covering the road just now like a black fog, running straight forward.

When these bison passed by, Zhang Ping drove about 5 kilometers behind the bison in a circle before stopping the car. Everyone came out of the car and felt a slight trembling on the ground, which was basically ignored. Ren Yuwei covered her chest and said in shock, "Why is there a sudden earthquake? There is no sign at all."

Zhuang Yan remembered the matter of soaking in the hot spring and said, "In the afternoon, the temperature there seems to be a little abnormal. Now it seems that it may be a harbinger before the earthquake.

Zhang Ping frowned and asked Cai Heyong: "He Yong, you know something about Yellowstone Park. I heard that this is originally a crater, is it?"

Cai Heyong's face was heavy, nodded and said, "Yes, just under our feet is a huge dormant volcano. Some scientists have predicted that the eruption interval of the world's largest "supervolcano" is about 600,000 years, and its latest eruption is likely to have occurred about 640,000 years ago. In other words, this super volcano may have entered an active period of eruption. Haha, maybe today's earthquake is the fuse of the super volcano.

With a sound of Eli, she said to Cai Heyong angrily, "Don't scare us. If it really broke out, we would have died a long time ago."

Ren Yuwei also glanced at Cai Heyong and said, "That's right, it was just a small earthquake, and there was no super volcano involved."

Cai Heyong looked at her playfully and mocked and replied, "Yes, small earthquake, who was holding Han Sheng and dying just now?"

Ren Yuwei suddenly turned red and hid behind Qin Hansheng. Qin Hansheng arched his hand and begged Cai Heyong for mercy: "Come on, He Yong, don't make fun of him. Do you think about what this super volcano is like? Will this earthquake have any impact?

Cai and Yong laughed dryly: "Whatever say, ladies, don't be afraid. I have read a magazine before, saying that those British scientists have predicted that if the Ned super volcano in Yellowstone erupts, a large amount of volcanic ash will reach the European continent in three or four days, and 3/4 of the territory of the United States may be "unlike". 90% of people within 1,000 kilometers around the volcanic eruption will not be spared, and most of them will die from the curing of inhaled volcanic ash in their lungs. Volcanic ash floating in the sky will reduce the average annual temperature of the earth by 10 degrees Celsius, and the Earth's North Pole will drop by 12 degrees Celsius. Such a cold climate will last for at least 6 to 10 years.

In short, the world will fall into disaster, and it may be a disaster.

At this time, he noticed that Zhang Ping, who was standing on the periphery, had not said anything and asked Zhang Ping to ask him any suggestions.

Zhang Ping just stood there, using his superhuman ear and sense of smell to feel the changes of nature around him. There is no pungent smell of sulfur in the air, which shows that it is not a volcanic eruption. And the trembling sound from the ground is slowly fading. All the evidence shows that this is really just an earthquake, a small earthquake.

"Well, it shouldn't be a big problem. It's a small earthquake. Where are we going next? That's the key." Zhang Ping said slowly.

Cai Heyong observed the situation around him. Now they are in a small valley. Under the light of the headlights, they can faintly see a few elk in the distance. In addition, there is a dead silence. Only their voices echoed in this valley.

Qin Hansheng sighed and said, "Since there is no movement now, I don't think it's time to rush in the dark. Let's stay here for half a night."

Because I'm afraid that there will be some accidents, I don't dare to lay a tent now. Several people stay in the car. After a few dozes, the sky was slightly bright. Zhang Ping took the lead in waking up, pushed the door open and walked out.

The clouds were light and the wind was light. On the lawn not far away, several elk were leisurely eating grass. I don't know when a small herd of bison came. Even among them, there were a few calves playing happily. The peace in front of him made Zhang Ping feel that last night's experience seemed to be a nightmare, but in fact it did not happen.

At this time, Cai Heyong also narrowed his eyes and came out. Seeing such a beautiful scenery outside, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief and even dreamed.

The aftermath of the earthquake is not over, but their new problems have come. They got lost. They don't know where it is, how far it is from the nearest exit, and in what direction.

After a brief discussion, everyone unanimously decided to continue to drive south. According to Zhang Ping's feeling, the current location should not be too far from Huangshi Lake. Maybe they will cross the mountain in front of them. As an old-qualified donkey, Cai Heyong also agreed with Zhang Ping's judgment. The rest of the people had no idea, so naturally they had no other ideas.

However, to their surprise, the next road is a little unusual. Zhang Ping noticed that as they walked all the way south, the road became more and more rugged. Even the ubiquitous animals gradually became scarce, and they often could not see a living species for a long time.

After they took a lot of effort to finally get rid of the big tree in front of them, Ellie ran over in surprise and said that she had just seen a large building.

Everyone is quite puzzled. How can there be a large number of buildings here? They followed Ellie one after another, crossed the forest, stood halfway up the mountain and looked down, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. There are indeed pieces of buildings below, and looking at the neat and regular appearance, they feel particularly happy for the rest of their lives after the disaster.

He cheered and drove to the building, but was blocked by a barbed wire, with the words "military heavy" written next to it. Several people were stunned. How could there be a military base here? In my impression, Yellowstone Park is a national park. How can there be a military base? This makes everyone feel a little confused.

Soon, a sergeant came out of it and asked them what was going on. Cai Heyong told the story. They got lost because of the earthquake, so they broke here, hoping to get their help and so on.

After listening to this, the sergeant pointed to a mountain next to him and said, "No, no, this is a military place. You can't go in without permission. But you can follow the mountain road and you will naturally find a way out at the end.

Everyone had no choice but to drive in the direction indicated by the sergeant and leave here. On the way, Zhang Ping called Cai Heyong and discussed with him the possible reasons for the military base. Qin Hansheng interrupted in the walkie-talkie: "Is this military base for this super volcano?"

One sentence opens the mind, maybe it's because of this reason?

After walking along the mountain road for dozens of minutes, I arrived at the shore of Yellowstone Lake. Under the waves, several white swans played in the clear water, playing with their feathers from time to time. Cai Heyong shouted happily and said to the rest, "This Yellowstone Lake is in the center of the park. In fact, it is also the center of the Yellowstone active crater. What covers the land of Yellowstone Park is the volcanic rocks and magma spewed from here hundreds of thousands of years ago."

Several ladies also forgot the panic escape last night and pointed to the lake, which was quite excited. At this time, a small car came from afar, marked with the mark of Yellowstone Park. Under the attention of several people, two Yellowstone workers who came out of the car quickly walked to the lake, holding some instrument-like things in their hands, and began to measure nervously.

Zhang Ping walked over and greeted them about the earthquake last night. One of the staff quickly replied, "Oh, the earthquake last night was just a small earthquake, but a few tourists were slightly injured. It's not a big problem."

Qin Hansheng quickly asked the topic he was interested in: "Excuse me, will the earthquake last night have any impact on the volcano?"

The staff member looked a little impatient and said angrily, "In Yellowstone Park, I don't know how many small earthquakes like this happen every year. Don't worry, it's just a small earthquake."

Cai Heyong looked at his impatience and was also a little angry. He chased the topic just now and asked, "Small earthquake? We escaped from there just now and were almost killed by a herd of bison. Until an hour ago, we were still lost. Do you think it can be explained clearly by just a small earthquake?

Well, after listening to Cai Heyong's words, the man's face softened a little. He thought for a moment and said, "In this case, you can follow me. I'm Jack, the Yellowstone Earthquake Detection Station. In more than an hour, a simple press release site will be released on the earthquake. You can also listen to it then.

Yellowstone Park Earthquake Detection Station? Cai Heyong looked at everyone's meaning and had no objection, so he agreed to come down and go out with their test car.
