Chapter 0002: The Mutation of the Millennium

On December 31, at half past ten o'clock in the evening, Yamazaki House, living room, Higashikoya, Ota-ku, Tokyo. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The living room has a sofa set for guests, a sofa bed, a home theater, a dining table and a kitchen, and is the main event location in the home.

Yamazaki watched his sister Midaiko Miyamoto sitting at the dining table, holding the remote control and boringly broadcasting TV programs, and couldn't help but laugh: "You broadcast from beginning to end, watching commercials." ”

"I'm waiting for you. Mei Daizi broadcast to the Spring Festival Gala, and then put down the remote control, "I started." As he spoke, he began to eat supper.

Mei Daizi has a large amount of food, four meals a day, and now it costs less than 20 steaks for a meal, and other foods are of course OK, but it is mainly meat-based, and it is easy to go to the bathroom if you eat too much vegetarian.

The steaks are all high-end products of grade 4 or above, and the cost on them every day is millions of yen, more than 1 billion yen a year, and the tax collectors are stunned when they file taxes every year.

Yamazaki cut a steak in front of him, chewed a bowl of soba noodles and ate it slowly with Mei Daiko, who ate it in a big gulp.

More than an hour later, twenty steaks and a bowl of Soba noodles were served, and Mei Daiko burped, "My brother's craftsmanship is getting better and better." ”

"If you don't want to wash the dishes, just say it. Yamazaki laughed.

"It's New Year's Day today," Mei Daiko smiled, "then please." ”

"Then you go and prepare the incense case. Yamazaki said, his tone a little heavy.

"Okay, brother. Mei Daizi replied, and her tone was a little heavy. ......

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the spirit chamber.

There is a row of spirit cards enshrined on the spiritual table, the ancestors of the Yamazaki family and the Miyamoto family, the front is Miyamoto Ichiro and Miyamoto Miko, and the two largest in the back are the ancestors Cape Yamazaki and Yamazaki Midaiko.

There is a row of fake flowers and fruits on the offering table in front of the spirit tablet, and several incense burners are placed in between, in which three fake incense sticks with electricity are inserted all year round, and a prominent incense burner in the middle is used for incense.

In the distant sound of the New Year's bell, Yamazaki and Mei Daiko each pinched three incense sticks, knelt down nine times, prayed silently, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner, and it was over.

Oh, no, there is also the New Year's money, the Zodiac gold coins that my mother used to order, each weighing one gold ounce, more than 31 grams, and one each given to Yamazaki and Midaiko every year.

Now, after the annual zodiac gold coins are delivered, they will be placed in the red envelope of the New Year's money, and after the annual Chinese New Year's Eve cleaning, the red envelope will be placed in front of the spirit card of Ichiro Miyamoto and Mimiko Miyamoto, and after the New Year's worship, Yamazaki and Midaiko will each take one. ......

Around 05:00 in the middle of the night, in the living room, in front of the dining table.

After sitting down again, Mei Daizi frowned and said, "Brother, I suddenly felt a little distracted from just now. ”

"Restless?" Yamazaki was taken aback, he felt that this thing had a certain amount of foresight, the last time her mother had an accident, Mei Daiko felt it, what happened this time?

"Yes. Mei Daizi said affirmatively.

"Okay," Yamazaki said as he closed his eyes and felt it, then opened his eyes and frowned, "I don't think there's any danger that could hurt me right now. Then he jokingly asked, "Is there going to be a big earthquake?"

"How do I know that?" said with a smile, "I just have a gut feeling that something big is going to happen, maybe an atomic bomb." ”

"In that case," Yamazaki suggested, "then let's go back to our room and change out of our kimonos, because it's going to be a big earthquake, and it's easier to run." ”

"That's right. Mei Daiko smiled. ......

Around 10:00 in the middle of the night, living room.

Yamazaki and Midaiko each came back in a black tight-fitting suit, and Midaiko was still holding a round hat, tying up her shoulder-length hair and coiling it on her head as she walked, and then put it on.

The two of them each took a first-aid kit from the cupboard, checked the contents, and carried it on their backs.

Looking at the time, at around 0:15 in the middle of the night, Yamazaki couldn't help but ask, "I said, Midaiko, you're not mistaken, right?"

"Probably not. Mei Daiko was also a little confused.

"Should it?" asked Yamazaki.

"This," Mei Daiko stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed, "I feel much better than before." ”

"Okay. Yamazaki asked helplessly, "Are you sure you're not sick?"

"Uh," Midaiko pressed her hand for a moment, "the strength and frequency of her heartbeat are no different from usual." ”

"Okay," Yamazaki laughed, "maybe your gut feeling is an oolong incident." ”

"Not really. Mei Daiko was a little deflated.

At this time, the time was 0:20 on TV, and in the live broadcast screen, a large number of the singers and dancers suddenly fell soft on the stage, and at the same time, there were many spectators, and it was roughly estimated that more than half of them had problems.

"What's going on?" Yamazaki was a little surprised, and picked up the TV remote control to broadcast other stations one by one.

It turned out that such a thing appeared in all the live broadcast screens, such as the actors performing, the audience watching the performance, the pedestrians on the street, the people lining up to hit the bell at the shrine and temple, and so on.

All the live channels are pictured, all over the country, and even in foreign countries.

Mei Daiko laughed and said, "Look, my instinct is right, there is really a big event." ”

Yamazaki asked, "Do you still feel it now?"

"Uh," said Mei Daiko, a little confused, "it's strange, it seems to be gone." ”

"Okay. Yamazaki was a little speechless.

At this time, at 0:25, there was an astonishing scene on TV, some people who fell to the ground, still motionless just now, and did not react no matter how they rescued, suddenly opened their mouths and bit the people around them.

There are bites everywhere, wrists, arms, calves, face, neck, biting is a tear, people who are bitten other parts are better, people who are bitten on the neck are directly bitten through the major arteries, a large amount of blood, in the terrible screams, sprayed out like a fountain, causing chaos at the scene.

Seeing this, Yamazaki and Mei Daiko looked at each other.

Mei Daiko asked weakly, "Isn't this filming a New Year's special?"

Yamazaki broadcast station, found that every live broadcast station was this kind of chaotic scene, and couldn't help but gasp, "This is definitely not a show, it seems that something really strange happened." ”

At this time, multiple screams and many frightened screams were faintly heard outside.

Mei Daizi was taken aback, "Isn't it, our house is equipped with soundproof glass, so that the sound can also come in?"

Yamazaki sighed, "The explanation is nearby, it seems that there is a big trouble." ”

Mei Daizi asked, "Brother, what now?"

"We don't know what caused it yet, but we're fine now, which means that the water here in our house is fine, so let's store it first." ”

"Understood. Mei Daiko said.

After that, the two of them went to turn on the faucets of a large bath and four bathtubs at home, which added up to more than a dozen cubic meters, and two people drank it, one liter a day per person, which was enough for a few years, provided that it could still be drunk at that time.

During the impoundment of water, the two went up to the rooftop to watch, and when they left the soundproof window, the screams were even more clearly audible, and all kinds of screams were mixed with gunshots, car collisions, and explosions.

It is estimated that the water is almost stored, Yamazaki Lamei Daiko went down to turn off the faucet, and then returned to the living room, and found that on the TV, many of the programs that were still live broadcast just now were gone, and there were only a few live party performances, but judging from the picture, no one took care of it over there.

Because those who fell stood up one after another, with cloudy eyes open, and took stiff steps, chasing normal people who were panicked and running around, and caught biting when they opened their mouths, and even rushed up to share food, it was really miserable and completely restrictive.

Yamazaki and Midaiko were a little dumbfounded, what the hell is wrong with these people?

Coming back to his senses, Yamazaki said, "I think we'd better check the food first." ”

"Good. Mei Daiko said.

The two of them checked the food storage, the storeroom, and Mei Daizi's snacks, saving a little to eat, enough to last for six to seven days.

Mei Daizi asked worriedly, "Brother, do you think you can calm down after a week?"

Yamazaki said, "Unless those guys don't move at all, but it's hard to say." ”

At this time, at around 0:35, the two heard an emergency announcement on the TV, so they ran back to the living room to watch.

The gist of the notice is that there has been a sudden large-scale human-eating incident across the country and even around the world, and all citizens are requested to stay at home, lock their doors and windows, do a good job of self-rescue work first, and ask all citizens to save water and food and wait for rescue.

"Save yourself and wait for rescue?" asked Midaiko, "What do you mean?"

"It means that the government is too busy to save people," Yamazaki said. ”

Mei Daizi was a little dissatisfied, "No, we paid a lot of taxes." ”

"Let's settle this account later. "We don't have a shortage of water right now, but we do lack food. ”

Mei Daizi smiled: "That's right, there shouldn't be anyone delivering takeaway for the time being." ”

"So we'll have to get it ourselves," Yamazaki said. ”

"You mean," Mei Daiko was a little excited, "are we going to rob?"

Yamazaki said: "No, we are saving ourselves, and it is not too late to pay later, and the interest will be calculated to the owner." ”

"That's right, that's right. Mei Daizi smiled, "Then the nearest big supermarket is the Higashigogu Supermarket in Higashigokuya 4-chome, which is four hundred meters away." Then he asked, a little distressed, "But how are we going to get our things back?" ”

"When you say that, I remember. "We should go to the gym next door and fill both pools with water so that we can get water in the gym's tank." ”

"yes, I don't want to go days without showers. Mei Daiko smiled.

"Let's go, then. Yamazaki said. ......
