Socially Anxious Girl Starts Hoarding Before the Apocalypse

Chapter 87

It was July, and the situation in M Country was worse than the domestic situation, although the earliest outbreak originated from their laboratory, but they did not find the solution the fastest.

Moreover, the policies implemented by this country were not strictly enforced by different states, and the death toll in M Country remained high, although their data was not publicly disclosed, but some people would still leak the real data.

Of course, regardless of location, the mortality rate difference between the rich and the poor is significant, and this is particularly obvious in M Country.

However, ordinary people also have guns, so there have been many protests and riots.

Due to the lack of trust, the public is skeptical of what the M Country government says, always feeling that the other party is lying.

At this time, scientists monitoring the activities of Yellowstone National Park discovered the abnormalities, and the reporters were very sensitive, but most people considered the news as fake.

It gives the impression that the government is trying to divert attention, so many people refuse to pay attention to this matter.

The scientists' reports did not attract much attention from the upper echelons either, but due to the various signs of Yellowstone National Park, the nearby residents have been quietly evacuated.

Of course, there are also people who refuse to leave, but with the frequent occurrence of minor earthquakes, even the non-believers finally became afraid and started to move away.

This place occasionally has such active phenomena, but then it can gradually calm down, so the evacuation range is also very limited.

When the earthquakes become frequent, this panic gradually spreads, and people begin to rush to the supermarkets to buy toilet paper and other food.

Other countries are also monitoring the activity data of this volcano, and to be honest, no one hopes this supervolcano will erupt.

So the news has further spread to the general public around the world, and people are discussing what the earth will be like if the volcano erupts.

There have been many related novels, movies, and video explanations before, although some people keep shouting that the world is going to end, but it's just complaining.

Wen Qian also saw this news when checking the information, the abnormal smoke and frequent minor earthquakes all look ominous.

Especially with the nearby residents already evacuated, the signs indicate that this time it may really erupt.

Wen Qian doesn't have the ability to check the news every day, so she went back home with a lot of doubts. She remembered that she still had masks and gas masks stored in her space.

If it really erupts, the volcanic ash should cover the globe, and the people nearby may suffocate in such a situation.

Although separated by the Pacific Ocean, a major volcanic eruption would cause the volcanic ash to enter the stratosphere and lead to global cooling.

This is not just a disaster for M Country, but a global disaster, so no one wants it to erupt.

Wen Qian had previously learned about the consequences of large-scale volcanic eruptions at different times and latitudes.

There was one eruption more than 200 years ago, which was very powerful but smaller than Yellowstone, resulting in no summer the next year, known as the Year Without a Summer.

People in different places have recorded in words or paintings the scenes at that time, the red sky, and the snow in June.

The crop failures leading to a great famine and massive human casualties, along with the outbreak of plagues, the climate was completely messed up.

After returning home, Wen Qian checked more relevant news and information, and if it's just a year or two, that would still be manageable, humanity can definitely get through it.

But if the whole world is covered by volcanic ash for a decade or more, and no sunlight can be seen, how long can they hold out?

At that time, there will only be two problems: keeping warm and staying fed. Wen Qian doesn't have any issues with this, as her space has stored plenty of food that can last a long time.

But what about the others? Their reserves will eventually run out, and the new crops cannot be grown, and even the seeds cannot be preserved.

At this time, Wen Qian is very curious about the progress of the original starch synthesis technology, whether it can bring hope to the people.

Many people are considering these problems now, even though they know worrying is useless, but they can't help but wonder if there is still a chance.

Or maybe this is just another false alarm, just like what happened before.

When living their lives, people feel that every day is very slow, but in fact, human life is only a century, compared to the age of the earth or the volcanic activity cycle.

Many people jokingly say they hope the volcano erupts after they die, but it's less than a century.

However, this time the volcano with a 670,000-year cycle may really erupt.

The most panicked is M Country, at this time the people who have the best conditions to leave have already left, while those who need to give up a lot, like high-paying jobs, are still hesitant.

As for the poor, even if they perceive the danger, they don't have the ability to quickly leave the country.

No one expected this volcano to really erupt this time.

In August, just as people were hoping the virus would disappear in this season, Yellowstone National Park erupted with a thunderous roar.

How loud can this sound be? The whole world can hear it, even Wen Qian on the Xia Province plateau.

The residents of the state where Yellowstone National Park is located were the first to directly experience the terrifying visual and sound, watching the ground bulge and the earth trembling.

The volcano finally erupted, spewing lava and smoke, and they felt as if they were in hell.

Yellowstone erupted, the specific level is unclear, but at least level 5 or above, the entire world's seismic monitoring can feel its vibration.

Lava covers the former Yellowstone National Park, the diverse sceneries, and the various plants and animals that lived there, all now unable to escape death.

The distant areas will not be covered by lava, but the volcanic debris will attack fiercely, destroying the buildings, and people have nowhere to hide, suffocating in the fiery storm.

The news of the volcanic eruption quickly spread around the world, and there is no longer any event that can overshadow this.

Accompanying the earthquakes, during the eruption, the height of the volcanic ash has exceeded the altitude of the snow-capped mountains that Wen Qian usually sees.

Within a few hours, the northwestern part of M Country will be completely covered by volcanic ash, with sulfur compounds and dust permeating the air.

Darkness falls on M Country, and people are all heading south, not even caring about the super-virus anymore, everyone just wants to escape first.

At this time, it is no longer possible to leave M Country by plane, only those who can travel far enough south to the neighboring Cactus Country may have a chance.

The wall that was previously used to prevent entry into M Country has now been reversed in its purpose.

The wind carries the volcanic ash to spread to other regions of the northern hemisphere, and other countries will also be affected one by one.
