Section 217 Reunion

The TV suddenly lost its signal, and Xu Yan and the others looked at each other - they had already had an experience, and everyone could guess what was going on in front of them.

Fortunately, the signal recovered quickly, and in less than a minute, the image reappeared on the TV, but the picture switched to the live broadcast hall of Fuji TV, and two male and female hosts with serious expressions appeared, they were chattering and talking about something, Huang Xi translated to Xu Yan: "Fuji TV said that they lost contact with the live broadcast helicopter on the scene, and there was no longer a signal transmitted back at the scene- Not only was the signal interrupted, but also the reporter Mr. Miyamoto Hashinobu and the helicopter pilot who were on the scene also lost contact, and no one answered the phone calls. In all likelihood, the interview team has already ...... Well, in danger, Fuji TV called on the Self-Defense Forces and the police to take measures as soon as possible to search and rescue the missing interview team......"

Xu Yan was amazed, and he said: "Miss An Qing, in the live TV broadcast just now, we have seen that the Self-Defense Forces have advised the reporter Miyamoto Hashinobu to evacuate, right? At that time, Mr. Miyamoto said loudly that he was responsible for his own safety -- now that something happened, why did the TV station immediately change its tune and call on the government and the Self-Defense Forces to go in and help them save people?"

The corners of An Qing's mouth were tightly pursed, and she sneered: "Maybe in the eyes of the media, only the lives of journalists are precious, and the self-defense forces and police officers are cats with nine lives!"

Due to the loss of contact with the interview team in front of it, Fuji TV did not update the progress of the follow-up, but repeated the government's announcement, telling all Tokyo citizens to immediately leave Ginza City and the surrounding area. Because that side will most likely become a battlefield again.

Xu Yan was impatient and asked Huang Xi to change the channel. But it's Japan's TV Asahi, and there's a discussion going on here. The male and female hosts are discussing the monster ravaging Tokyo with a middle-aged bald man in a suit and a middle-aged woman with a very harsh face. The main focus of their discussion was: where did this monster come from?

The host called the bald man "Professor Aoki", and it was not known which university he was a professor at. However, this Professor Aoki's appearance is good, he is very calm and calm, his eyes are sharp, his expression is focused, and he is very expert.

Huang Xi translated Xu Yan simultaneously, and "Professor Aoki" confidently claimed that he had undergone scientific and thorough research. It has been determined that the monster that appeared in the center of Tokyo is by no means a biological species that is native to the earth.

“…… The explosive kinetic energy of the Tao anti-tank missile can penetrate armor up to one meter thick, whether it is past or present, even if it goes back to the ancient times of the Cretaceous period, whether it is a Tyrannosaurus rex or a mammoth, no creature on earth has the outer skin strong enough to resist such a powerful attack momentum!

It can be seen from this that the monster that appears in Ginza now must be a creature from outside the sky, a species from an alien planet. Everybody saw it. The monster is very aggressive and aggressive, and it is clear that it came to Earth to invade and exterminate us humans!

Ladies and gentlemen, humanity has been invaded by alien creatures. This is a major crisis of life and death. This is not a matter for the Japanese government alone, and this is not a problem that the Self-Defense Forces can solve, but requires the cooperation of all countries in the world. Work together to fend off a major crisis!

I believe that the Japanese government should inform the UN Security Council. An emergency meeting should be held to negotiate, and the armies of all countries should unite and prepare to fight the alien creatures! It is not a problem that our Self-Defense Forces can solve, and we should not wait or delay any longer, and this is a matter of life and death for Japan.

According to the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty, we should first ask for assistance from the U.S. military stationed in Japan, and if necessary, we can also ask for reinforcements from China and Russia, two members of the UN Security Council, both of which have strong land forces, and although we have had some unhappiness in history in the past, I believe that on issues related to the life and death of all mankind, China and Russia will put the overall situation first and will send troops to support our ......."

Listening to Professor Aoki's remarks, the host of the show looked very embarrassed, and before Professor Aoki could continue, the host quickly interrupted him: "Okay, we have heard Professor Aoki's wonderful inference. For the record, this is Professor Aoki's own opinion, and does not represent the views of EX TV - may I ask Ms. Kanazawa from the Institute of Marine Biology, what do you think of this monster incident?"

That lady Kanazawa had a long cynical face, a pointed chin, and a rather snarky face, and before the host's voice fell, she immediately raised the microphone: "With all due respect, Professor Aoki's so-called 'extraterrestrial visitor' is completely nonsense! Without enough evidence, it is unscientific and unrigorous to conclude that the monster is an extraterrestrial creature!"

So far, it is not possible to know exactly how many species there are on the earth, and now, the general view in the biological community is that the total number of species on the earth, conservative estimates, is at least more than 10 million!

So far, among the more than 10 million species, the total number of species identified and confirmed by our humans is only 1.4 million - 1.74 million species, of which we humans have the deepest understanding of mammals, about 87% of mammals, but the understanding of reptiles and invertebrates is still very limited. It can be seen that human understanding of the earth's biosphere is still very limited, and the part we know is only a very small part, and we cannot easily conclude that 'monsters must be from alien planets'!

In particular, Japan is an island country surrounded by the sea on all sides. The ocean is the most mysterious of all, and in the depths of the ocean, there are many creatures that we have never known or touched before! We have all seen on TV that this monster is nearly ten meters long, but in the ocean, it is not uncommon for such a giant creature to be. You know, humans have long found giant blue whales in the ocean, which are more than 30 meters long and weigh more than 180 tons—I prefer to believe that this monster is a giant unknown earth creature from the depths of the ocean that we have not found or come into contact with before......"

Before she could finish speaking, Professor Aoki had already asked her with a contemptuous expression, "Ms. Kanazawa." You study marine life, excuse me. Are there any sea creatures you know that can change the size and shape of their bodies at will?"

"Yes! Not only. And a lot more! For example, sea creatures such as octopuses and starfish -- we have done research and octopuses are ...... that have the ability to change size."

"Octopuses are invertebrates! Lady Kanazawa, you have to have common sense! Marine animals are divided into marine invertebrates and marine protochordates, and the octopuses and starfish you gave examples are invertebrates...... But that monster with sharp claws and a large mouth is clearly a mammalian vertebrate, it can't be an invertebrate sea creature!"

"Professor Aoki, please don't mislead the audience! Mammals can also grow in the ocean, such as whales! Although we haven't found xenomorphs like this before, it's theoretical. It is possible for this creature to exist in the ocean......"

"Ms. Kanazawa, I can't agree with you! Now, there is no evidence that the monster is a sea creature...... ......

The two sides were arguing and shouting, and the topic was getting farther and farther, which was mixed with too many professional names and terms, and even Huang Xi couldn't translate it accurately, and Xu Yan lost interest in continuing to listen.

Huang Xi tuned several TV stations, all of which were broadcasting special news programs about the Tokyo monster incident, but there was no news from the front of Ginza. Reporters gathered around the prime minister's office to wait for the outcome of the emergency meeting. Or run to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department or the Ministry of Defense to wait for further news.

At 10.15 p.m., Fuji TV broadcast the latest and definite news from the Ministry of Defense: The eight helicopter gunships of the first wave of attack aircraft of the Tokyo First Army Air Regiment have been completely wiped out!

Facing a large crowd of cameras, a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense read the manuscript with a blank face. He claimed that in accordance with the instructions of the emergency meeting chaired by His Excellency the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Defense will continue to deploy other Ground Self-Defense Force units of the Central Response Cluster to Tokyo. to protect the citizens of Tokyo. Please believe that the Self-Defense Forces are capable of destroying monsters on their own. To ensure the safety of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, please stay calm. No need to panic.

At 10.20 p.m., Tokyo Governor Kiichi Noda made an urgent public address to the citizens of Tokyo, calling on them to remain calm and not panic. Governor Noda said that the current claim that the government intends to evacuate the entire Tokyo metropolitan government and use nuclear bombs against monsters is an outright rumor, and that citizens should not believe the rumors and believe that the Self-Defense Forces are capable of handling this crisis.

At 10.23 p.m., a spokesman for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department announced that although they had suffered heavy casualties, the Tokyo police were still sticking to their duties, and the current blockade line in Ginza was still intact, and the mobile team was still holding its ground and maintaining a close monitoring posture on the Ginza front. The so-called "monster has broken through the blockade and escaped" is a completely unfounded rumor, so please feel at ease with this.

At the same time, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police Department also said that the mysterious woman who appeared in Ginza Ward and fought with monsters has not been found by the police so far, and her whereabouts are still unknown.

"To date, the identity of the mysterious woman has not been identified, and the Tokyo police are investigating and verifying her identity. However, it has been confirmed that she is not a member of the police or the Self-Defense Forces. The Tokyo police appealed to those who knew the relevant information to provide relevant clues to the police......"

On TV, urgent news about the monster incident came one after another. After watching it for a while, Xu Yan felt depressed, and he whispered: "I'm a little bored, go to the balcony to blow the wind." ”

Huang Xi and An Qing Zhizi were both staring at the TV, not paying attention to Xu Yan's departure. But Xu Yan did not go to the balcony, but took the elevator directly down the stairs, he walked to the front desk of the hotel, a service girl came over, smiled to Xu Yan, Xu Yan replied in English: "Sorry, I don't know Japanese, can you find a gentleman who understands Chinese?"

Xu Yan repeated these words twice before the waitress understood, she bowed to Xu Yan and left in a hurry. Soon, a gray-haired male manager came from behind the counter and said to Xu Yan in heavily accented Chinese, "Hello, Mr. Xu, hello." I'm Toshio Yoshikawa, Account Manager at Hilton Hotels. What can I do for you?"

Hearing the Chinese response, Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hello. Manager Yoshikawa. Excuse me, do you have a car delivery service at the Hilton? I want to go out. ”

"Yes. The hotel does have this service, and the cost of renting a car is fifty dollars an hour. ”

"Okay, please help me arrange a car and driver, Mr. Yoshikawa. I want to go to the Ginza district of Tokyo, so please ask Mr. Yoshikawa to arrange a car for me. ”

"Ginza District?" Manager Toshio Yoshikawa's face changed: "There, there's a monster right now! It's been broadcast on TV, and a terrible monster has appeared in Ginza Town, and the Self-Defense Forces are fighting monsters there! The government has announced that it's a blockade zone that prohibits entry." Xu Sang, I'm sorry. I'm afraid we can't do this request. ”

Xu Yan's heart sank, but he still didn't give up his efforts, he said in a deep voice: "Manager Yoshikawa, I understand, but my situation is a little special - my room is the room that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department booked for me, right?"

"Hi Yi, that's true. ”

"Why did the Metropolitan Police Department entertain me?" Xu Yan said to himself, "That's because." I'm a special guest of honor!

I am a soldier from China, and I know the weakness of this monster, and the officers of the Metropolitan Police Department specially invited me from China to help them eliminate this monster. Right now. I'm going to get to the scene right away so I can get rid of that monster quickly - it's a matter of life and death, if I don't get to Ginza in time. There are a lot of innocent citizens, police officers, and self-defense forces who are going to be killed by monsters!

That's a big deal, you know. Mr. Yoshikawa?"

Hearing Xu Yan say this, Toshio Yoshikawa's face changed slightly. He looked at Xu Yan very seriously, as if judging whether what Xu Yan said was true. Under his stern gaze, Xu Yan tried to make a calm appearance.

He asked very seriously: "Xu Sang, what you said is not a joke, right?"

Xu Yan spread out his hands: "Mr. Yoshikawa, would anyone joke about this kind of thing? If it weren't for such a big event, why would I go to Ginza Town?

Toshio Yoshikawa groaned slightly: "If that's the case...... Sorry, Xu Sang, please wait a minute. ”

He left in a hurry, and after nearly ten minutes, Xu Yan was restless waiting, and he hurriedly trotted back, he bowed to Xu Yan first, and then said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Xu San, because the Ginza Town area is too dangerous, so the driver is reluctant to go over, so——"

Manager Yoshikawa looked very embarrassed, and he bowed to Xu Yan repeatedly: "I can't help you, I'm really sorry." Xu Sang, I'm sorry for you. ”

Xu Yan smiled bitterly, but understood that it was his own requirements that were too difficult for others. On TV just now, everyone can clearly see that the on-site interview teams sent by NHK TV and Fuji TV have all been wiped out, which shows the danger in Ginza Ward now. The driver of the hotel is just an ordinary civilian, and it is human nature for them to go to such a dangerous place, and the other party is afraid of danger and refuses to agree.

"I see, Mr. Yoshikawa. It's too strong for me to mind. ”

Facing Xu Yan, Manager Yoshikawa bowed deeply and looked very ashamed: "I'm really sorry, Xu San! You are from China, but you are so brave for our Japanese affairs, and you are willing to go to the front line to assist the Self-Defense Forces in the battle, and the courage of the Chinese soldiers really makes us admire." In contrast, we young people of the Heisei era are—alas! Anyway, I'm very sorry, Xu San!"

Leaving the main desk of the hotel, Xu Yan walked out of the door of the hotel and stood under the porch of the hotel, dazed.

In front of him, the streets of Shinjuku were still bustling with cars and people—although there were monsters in the Ginzamachi area, and the Self-Defense Forces were fighting fierce battles against them, it didn't seem to affect the daily lives of Tokyo citizens, and the streets were still bustling with people and orderly, as before.

Looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky, Xu Yan felt a sense of powerlessness that he shouldn't start from - what should I do?

Deep worry gnawed at Xu Yan's heart like an ant. He began to regret that he shouldn't have listened to Zhu Youxiang's words and left like that, but insisted on staying there to fight with her.

In the end, Xu Yan still decided that no matter what, he would personally go to Ginza Town to find Zhu Youxiang.

He hailed a few taxis on the street, but the taxis either didn't understand Xu Yan's half-baked English, or they heard the name of the place in Ginza and changed their faces, waved their hands again and again, and ran away.

In this way, half an hour was wasted on the street, and in the end, no taxi was willing to take Xu Yan to Ginza. He stood blankly in the street, anxious. At this time, perhaps even Xu Yan himself didn't realize that in his feelings for Zhu Youxiang, in addition to the friendship of friends, there was also a little more indescribable care.

"Childe, what are you doing here?"

Suddenly, he heard this delicate call behind him, and Xu Yan was like hearing the sound of heaven. He turned around suddenly, only to see Zhu Youxiang, dressed in a white trench coat, standing on the road across the road, with a pair of autumn eyes quietly watching him in the long snow.

Slim and beautiful, the beauty is picturesque. (To be continued......)
