SRGA Chapter 195: Earthquake and Volcano Together!

"Earthquake!"

"Run, get outside."

"Everyone, don't panic. Haven't we experienced earthquakes before? Our base is built to withstand a magnitude eight earthquake."

The Yamaguchi-gumi base was in chaos, but after Yamaguchi Masao's call, the panicked members calmed down a bit.

A few kilometers away, the reporters were also frightened, but since they were in an open area, there were no casualties.

Moreover, this earthquake was very peculiar. The epicenter was extremely strong, but a few kilometers away, the intensity had significantly decreased.

"How could there be an earthquake?"

"Could it be Master Lin—"

Mitsui Shin, who was further away, was incredibly shocked.

For such an event to occur right after Lin Tian arrived, it would be too much of a coincidence to believe it wasn't related.

"Boss, fire!"

One of Mitsui Shin's bodyguards shouted.

They were six or seven kilometers away from the base and could clearly see the fire above the Yamaguchi-gumi base in the dark night.

"Hiss!"

"A volcano, it's a volcano erupting!"

"These Yamaguchi-gumi lunatics, how could they build their base under an active volcano? We need to leave, quickly!"

Mitsui Shin hurriedly ordered.

The ground was still shaking, and they stumbled back to their car, driving away quickly despite the tremors.

"The volcano is about to erupt, let's go."

"Oh God, earthquake and volcano together."

"Could this be caused by that Master Lin?"

Most of the reporters also fled in panic, but a few were excitedly recording everything.

"What's happening, why is the sky getting brighter?"

Outside the Yamaguchi-gumi base, people lying on the ground noticed something unusual. The pitch-black sky was lighting up.

Some of them looked towards the mountain top.

"Boom!"

At that moment, the volcano finally erupted.

Red-hot lava spewed from the crater. However, this wasn't a major eruption; the volcano was small, and the lava didn't shoot very high.

"Damn it!"

"It's over, we're done for!"

Some of the Yamaguchi-gumi members outside the base turned pale as they saw the lava flowing down from the mountain top.

The volcano was small, and the eruption wasn't high, so it wouldn't affect areas ten kilometers away. But they were at the foot of the mountain.

Their base even had parts built into the mountain itself.

Much of the lava was rapidly flowing down the mountain.

If boulders were rolling down the mountain, they wouldn't be affected because the trees would block them.

But now, it was lava flowing down.

The scorching hot lava ignited the trees immediately.

"Alright, the earthquake has weakened."

"Return to your positions immediately."

Inside the base, Yamaguchi Masao shouted.

"Second Master, bad news, the volcano has erupted, and lava is quickly flowing down towards us."

A horrified voice came from the walkie-talkie next to Yamaguchi Masao.

Finally, someone outside remembered to report to him.

"What?"

Yamaguchi Masao's face changed dramatically.

An earthquake was one thing, but what could they do about the lava?

With so many people in the base, there was undoubtedly ventilation equipment, and windows reinforced with thick steel bars. People couldn't get in, but lava certainly could.

"Evacuate, everyone evacuate downwards."

"Close the blast doors down there!"

Yamaguchi Masao shouted.

He couldn't worry about the people outside now. Inside, over two thousand people were frantically trying to escape.

The base had elevators, but how many people could fit in them? The stairs were also extremely crowded.

With so many people, it would be difficult for everyone to reach the lowest nuclear-safe level, even without panic.

In this chaotic scramble, it was almost impossible for everyone to make it down.

"Damn it!"

Yamaguchi Masao's face was extremely grim.

"Boom!"

Outside, the lava rolled down. This volcano was only a few hundred meters high, and it wouldn't take long for the lava to reach the base.

"Run, run quickly!"

"Amaterasu, let me survive."

A few people outside the base managed to leave. They had intended to drive away, but the earthquake had caused cracks in the ground.

They could only flee on foot.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

In their chaotic escape, some landmines buried nearby were triggered.

"Retreat, quickly retreat!"

"We can't stay any longer. The lava might not reach here, but volcanic ash will, and it could stall the car engines."

The last few reporters hurriedly left.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Small stones flew out, killing some of the "lucky ones" who had avoided the landmines.

By this time, the lava had reached the Yamaguchi-gumi base.

The ventilation ducts at the top of the base were reinforced with steel bars, which were impassable for humans, but not for the lava.

Scorching lava poured in through each vent.

Then it found its way through windows and gun ports—any opening allowed the lava to flow inside.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, an explosion occurred inside the base.

Lava had triggered the explosives stored on the top level.

"Boom!"

The initial explosion set off other explosives nearby, scattering the hot lava everywhere.

The Yamaguchi-gumi members were fleeing in panic and had no time to take the ammunition. For ease of resupply during a conflict, many bombs had been stored on the first level.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The lava set off more explosions.

The thick concrete roof of the base was punctured with holes by the blasts.

Lava accumulated above and naturally poured through these openings into the base.

"Ah!"

"Hurry, hurry!"

The Yamaguchi-gumi members screamed in terror as the lava approached. They tried to escape, but where could they go?

The lava kept coming, and the stairs were blocked.

"Quick, quick!"

At the lowest level, Yamaguchi Masao shouted urgently.

Many people rushed into the safety layer at the bottom.

"Second Master, we need to close the door, the lava is coming!"

Someone beside Yamaguchi Masao yelled.

"Damn it!"

"Close the door!"

Yamaguchi Masao shouted angrily.

The heavy blast door slowly descended. Before it completely shut, dozens more people managed to enter the safety layer.

"Ah!" "Ah!"

Yamaguchi Masao heard the screams from outside.

But the screams quickly stopped as the lava reached the door.

"Count the people."

Yamaguchi Masao said grimly.

A few minutes later, one of Yamaguchi Masao's subordinates reported in a trembling voice, "Second Master, only seven or eight hundred made it in."

Yamaguchi Masao sat down, his hands slightly shaking.

They had a total of three thousand people, with only two hundred outside the base. Inside, there were two thousand eight hundred.

With lava everywhere in the base, those still alive wouldn't survive for long.

Normal doors weren't airtight.

Wooden doors would burn!

"Do you think this was a coincidence or intentional?"

Yamaguchi Masao closed his eyes and asked.

The people around him were silent.

If it wasn't a coincidence but intentional, it was terrifying.
