Annihilation of the solar system

The red flames at the entrance of the tunnel flowed like a torrent, and the tongues of flames pouring into the tunnel danced wildly against the roof of the tunnel, forcing people to retreat repeatedly. The howling sound of the fire storm echoed in the tunnel, and people could only hug their knees with their hands.

Shivering in the light and shadow, awaiting the arrival of fate in agony.

Lao Guo and several team members dragged the limp Chu Yusheng back with difficulty. The tongues of flames coming from the tunnel entrance could almost lick Chu Yusheng's feet. But he did not react at all, but his face was dull and his eyes were blurred.

He stared at the blazing white fire outside the tunnel, which was like a rocket jet. He seemed to be able to see in it the little bearded man with a charred face and a simple and honest smile on his lips.

Amid the howling of the flames and the rising temperature, time became more difficult than ever before. People in the tunnel even began to feel that the team members outside might be lucky, at least they did not have to endure being slowly killed by the God of Death.

Gripping fear and helplessness.

The light at the entrance of the cave gradually dimmed, and finally only a faint flickering red light remained, and the frightening whistling sound also disappeared. The devastated Chu Yusheng suddenly came back to his senses, he got up and went to

Run to the tunnel entrance.

The dry and hot air outside the tunnel immediately wrapped him around him like a blanket, as if he was in a furnace that had just been extinguished. The strong burning smell made Chu Yusheng cough until tears splattered and he almost died. He covered it with his sleeves

Mouth and nose, wipe away tears.

The world in front of me seemed to have lost all its colors, leaving only black and gray. The sun had disappeared, and embers all over the sky slowly fell from the sky. The hills beside the road were like burnt bread, and the world in the distance

In the ashes that filled the sky, it was no longer possible to distinguish between heaven and earth, and only red spots reflected by scattered embers could be seen.

Chu Yusheng suddenly felt a burning pain in the soles of his feet. He wanted to lift his feet but found that the soles seemed to be stuck. It took him a lot of effort to pull his legs out of the clay-like asphalt. He took a few steps back before he stopped.

Follow, look up.

There was no trace of the endless crowd of people running towards the tunnel on the road. What was left was only a pile of scorched black marks covering the road with green smoke rising.

…

To the southwest of Jinghua City lies the Taihang Mountains that stretch across the end of the plain. The city that was once the core of civilization, above the fertile fields, has now either sunk under the water, or has become a restricted area for life due to the destructive boiling of underground water.

The people who survived pulled a long queue along the highway and entered the mountains, embarking on the journey to the place of hope on the letter - Shuchuan.

In the service area on a hill, Cao Rui, Zhou Cheng, Xia Lan and others were sitting in front of the window of the main building of the service area. They had just arrived. The entire hall was filled with exhausted people.

The parking area outside the service area and the entire highway are full of migrating people.

When the few cars were once again destroyed in large numbers by the city's collapse, as senior experts, the biggest benefit they received was to be able to rest indoors. Because of its higher terrain, this service area could overlook the city in the valley below.

Therefore, there is a large viewing window on the side facing the river valley.

However, the provincial capital city that was once lined with high-rise buildings not long ago is now nothing but ruins. From its current location, it looks more like a mass grave of giants.

"It seems that Jinyang's experience is similar to that of Jinghua." Cao Rui said while looking at the ruins of the city in the distant valley below, which can already be called ruins.

Zhou Cheng turned his eyes and glanced, but sighed and said nothing. He rubbed his calf, his face contorted due to pain.

"Are we still on our way today?"

Cao Rui looked at the dim sky:

"Forget it, just rest here. It's almost late at night when we walk to the next service area. It's windy in the mountains at night, so if you get sick, you'll be in trouble."

Zhou Cheng looked at his watch and then looked out the window. Then he stood up and walked to a movable window, opened the window and looked around at the sky.

"The color of the sky looks like it has been smoked, it is yellow and scorched. At this point, there are no clouds in the sky, so it shouldn't be this color?"

Cao Rui was not very curious. He touched the scars on his face that were burned by caustic soda vapor in Jinghua City and said:

"There have been signs of this since a few days ago, didn't you notice?"

Zhou Cheng frowned and looked at Cao Rui:

"I've been traveling over mountains and ridges these days. I'm so focused on traveling that I can't think of looking up to the sky."

Cao Rui walked to Zhou Cheng and looked up at the sky that looked like it was covered with a layer of yellow plastic paper for a while:

"The color is a bit darker than before."

Zhou Cheng looked at his wife Shen Manying and Xia Lan, who were also exhausted from traveling for days:

"Have you noticed the change in the weather?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

"We were on the Loess Plateau, and we thought it was normal for the sky to be dim," Wei Xu said.

Cao Rui stuck his head out of the window and took a few deep breaths:

"No, there is a smell in the air. It was indeed not so obvious a few days ago."

Zhou Cheng had just turned around and wanted to lean out of the window, when suddenly a few dazzling lights flashed on the mountain peaks in the distance.

"It's that kind of lightning again. We've seen it before. Look!" Wei Xu exclaimed.

I saw a few clusters of low clouds on the hazy mountains in the distance. The clouds looked very different from ordinary rain clouds. They were not spread out in large areas, but looked like the high hats on the heads of European gentlemen.

Narrow and high. From a distance, it looks like a mushroom cloud from a nuclear bomb detonated on the top of the mountain.

"We have seen this kind of thunderbolt in the clear sky before, but it was very far away and we couldn't see clearly. At that time, we thought it was rain clouds in the distance, but we didn't expect it to be like this!" As soon as Xia Lan finished speaking, the thunderbolts were scattered in several places.

Lightning began to light up frequently between the clouds and the mountains, and each bolt of lightning could light up half of the sky.

The frequency of lightning became higher and higher, and at one point it almost became an arc that lasted for a long time. Although the lightning flashes were far away from them, the dazzling electric light could still illuminate the entire service area and half of the sky.

Shine!

"Look carefully! Lightning seems to have hit the same area!" Wei Xu shouted in panic.

Everyone stood up and looked at the thunderclouds scattered on various mountaintops, as well as the continuous lightning that struck the mountains under the thunderclouds.

"In nature, the probability of lightning striking the same place consecutively is not low, but this situation does not look natural at all! And there was no thunder at all," Shen Manling said solemnly.

Everyone listened carefully, and sure enough, there was no thunder. The lightning continued at such a high frequency for ten minutes, and then slowly began to slow down in frequency, and soon the sky returned to darkness.

"Fortunately, these mountains are all bare and there is no vegetation, otherwise it would have caused a wildfire." Wu Fan said.

"I remember there was a movie in Hollywood in the past. It was about aliens burying robots underground early and then using lightning strikes to activate them. Finally, those robots emerged from the ground and started killing humans. This situation

It's just like the plot in a movie!" Wei Xu said with a mysterious face.

Xia Lan snorted coldly:

"Hmph! I admire your mentality that you can still think of movies at this time. Besides coal, what else can be found underground in the Hedong area?"

After Xia Lan finished speaking, she felt a chill on the back of her neck, and couldn't say what she thought of.

At this time, a soldier hurried in:

"Director Cao! The reconnaissance platoon just reported via the radio that a thundercloud is forming not far from us!"

"Are there any cars in the service area?" Cao Rui asked.

"The vehicle sent out to explore the road conditions has just returned." the soldier replied.

Cao Rui looked at Zhou Cheng:

"Let's go see what treasure on the mountain is responsible for this unnatural lightning!"
