Chapter 59
"This orbital bombardment...... It's so abnormal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ Finally panting evenly, Ge Yiwei drank the last drop of water in the kettle, looked at the ruined and unshakable city, and frowned, "Orbital bombardment is used for a city with empty defenses and not many enemies?" Even if the heavenly army is idle, in order to ensure the timely recovery of the city's functions after the war, it is not allowed to call for track support in street fighting, and even if you call the command center, you will not be ignored......"
"How do you know about such a thing? Aren't you an infantryman? β
"Needless to say?" Ge Yiwei said lightly a fact that made K almost fall headlong, "I've done this kind of thing before. During the street fighting, I called for 123 orbital bombardments, and listened to the command center explain to me 123 times, and finally ended up being locked up for three days. Now I can recite this rule to you backwards, do you listen to it? β
"You...... Isn't this pure smoking? β
"Aha, young man, it's inevitable to make some mistakes. Aren't you too? They even dared to harass their bosses. Ge Yiwei scratched his head, "But it's okay, this chaotic bombing makes the other side dare not act casually." Now we have to go to the VIPs and the bosses, didn't you say that the submarine can only stay afloat for five minutes? I can't find them anymore......"
"It's too late. Act now. β
"Hey, Jim! It's a pleasure to meet you. Add ......"
"Action."
Under the serious gaze of his own captain, K spread his hands: "Okay, Gaskell has already set off, right?" So, which direction should we look in now? β
"I don't know. Just look for it. β
"Hey, do you know what you're talking about?" This sentence almost made Ge Yiwei, who was drinking the water in Jim's kettle, squirt out. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve, "Just looking for it?" So how long are we going to be looking? The whole city of Nagoya is very big, Comrade Jim! More than 300 square kilometers is a joke? β
"Hello, gentlemen. It looks like you're thinking something. Can I help you? β
"You are ......" Seeing the visitor's faceβmore precisely, the visitor's iconic black clothes," Ge Yiwei immediately called out, "Miss Helena! Why are you here? This is not the place where a lightly-armed agent like you should be! β
"That's rude." Helena jumped from the rubble, "Do you know how much effort I spent trying to find your radiation suits? Can't I take a ride back to Europe? Stingy men are not liked by women. Alright, while the group of stunned soldiers on the other side haven't reacted yet, let's hurry up. β
"Go? But the personnel have not yet arrived...... Even...... What is this situation? Ge Yiwei rubbed his eyes, "Marisa, why are you wearing Miss Silk's clothes?" β
"Ahahahaha, I was really recognized by Xiaowei. Interesting, isn't it? Xiaowei, do you see if it's suitable? Marisa patted her head, "But it always feels a little awkward to not have anything on your head, it's really uncomfortable...... And the pants are a little loose......"
"If it's awkward, just pick a helmet from the ground and put it on...... Is Miss Starr okay? The face seems to be ...... Ah, that's right. Seeing Sildar in Marisa's clothes and a pale face like rice, Ge Yiwei nodded: I'm afraid this girl has been having a hard time the last few nights, "Captain Jim, can you contact Mr. Upper Gaskell?" Looks like he's the only one missing. β
Jim didn't answer. Without saying a word, he turned around and stepped along.
"Jim Team ......"
"Alright, Ge. Let the captain be alone for a while. K pressed Ge Yiwei's shoulder and shook his head, "It seems that Gaskell is ...... It's all fate. He must be able to go to heaven. β
"Ah, that's ......" realized something, Ge Yiwei lowered his head, "I'm sorry ......"
"It's okay, it's okay. People always have to learn to be strong. K waved his hand and put on a sinister expression, "So brother, can you tell me how you distinguish Miss Marisa from Miss Starr?" β

Exactly, what is bad luck?
No living organism knew about it. Even the key mountain Hina known as the "god of misfortune" doesn't know. If I had to say it, the so-called "bad luck" should refer to a trend, a trend that makes things bad.
However, there are contradictions in this definition itself. What exactly is a "thing"? Can it have a definite definition like "matter" and "energy"? "Bad", how is it good and how is it bad? Can this criterion be described exactly by a function?
The answer, of course, is no. Because of the uncertainty of the standard, "doom" simply cannot be described by a standard definition. In that case, what kind of thing is "curse"? "Curse" can bring bad luck to people, but what is the meaning of the so-called "curse" when there is no way to define it?
When a person is idle in Yokai Mountain, Hina Kagiyama often thinks about these things. It all started when she picked up a book that she didn't know who had dropped on her way to the tomb and was circulating from the present world. Through that book, she understood what humans were studying today: they were trying to make nature appear to them in a clear and unambiguous way. Under their research, nature shows a different state, precise and wonderful. This standardized, systematic thinking fascinated her deeply. Therefore, she also began to think: what is her work?
It was much later that Hina Kagiyama understood what she was thinking from another book: she began to try to understand herself. According to the book, this is also the starting point for mankind to get rid of ignorance.
She had tried to learn something from the kappa. But because of the job that she couldn't figure out, few kappa dared to approach her. She had also visited the Red Devil's library, but the caretaker there had sadly told her that there were very few books on modern science in the library. There is still only one way to learn: pick up books and read them in the unlucky mound.
Applying not much knowledge, she racked her brains to figure out her work, but failed repeatedly. The closest she came to success was explained by a knowledge called the law of cause and effect.
It's a perfect theory, and she even feels like she wants to cry.
But in the end, reality hit her hard again: the theory of causality does exist, but it is only a philosophical idea. Physically, there is no such thing as a law called the "law of cause and effect". Moreover, the law of cause and effect of the localization, which she used to construct her theory, held that any state of the universe is the result of the accumulation of its previous state of the universe, and that any state of motion is the result of the accumulation of its previous state of motion, but this idea, that is, the idea of determinism, has long been broken by probability in quantum theory.
This feeling of heaven and hell at once is really uncomfortable. There is no other way than to continue to find her hope in the vast white mist.
After that, the Great Barrier collapsed.
After that, it's ...... That's what it looks like now.
"Catch it alive! Try to catch it alive! β
"Be careful! This bastard's way of attacking is pretty weird! There are several Z-50s that have a small probability of failure for no reason, and she must have done it! β
"Huh? My battery is leaking! What's going on? β
I see. Like me, they don't know what "bad luck" is all about......
It's a shame I didn't figure it out before I died. Looking at the terrifying wound on her body, Kagiyama Hina slowly closed her eyes.
Aside from Reimu, Sanae, and Marisa who were lied to by Yakumo, this was Gensokyo's first high-level combat power death. As if it were an ominous sign, Gensokyo's fear of "will we be able to resist them" began to spread among youkai and goblins in general. Even when it was sensed that the other party had lost its orbit and air support, the entire Gensokyo was still panicked and turbulent.

The surroundings are horribly quiet.
Ge Yiwei really couldn't stand this oppressive atmosphere and tried to stir up a topic.
"Captain Jim, why did you choose to board the boat in Tokyo Bay? Is it not possible to contact the remnants of the Japanese government and then use the military port in Hokkaido? β
"The Japanese government must not be made aware of it." Unexpectedly, it was Alberta who answered Ge Yiwei, "They will detain us and then use this as a threat to ask the European Union to support Japan." My identity will give them that certainty. β
"Here...... Is it really the Tokyo on TV? It's unbelievable......" Sanae's exclamation came from the communicator mixed with electronic noise. Ge Yiwei looked at the amount of radiation displayed in the upper left corner againβafter entering the radiation zone, this was already the thirty-first time. Thankfully, as with the previous thirty times, that number is still within the norm.
"Theoretically, we are only in the outer area of the nuclear explosion now, so the remains of some buildings can also be seen. If it's in the central area, we can't see anything except a big crater, which may be there. Ge Yiwei slapped Marisa's hand out for the gadget, "Don't touch your claws, you won't have a place to cry if you have radiation sickness." β
"Radiation sickness? What's that? I've never heard of it. Marisa tried to pick up the object on the ground again, but was interrupted by Ge Yiwei again. The two of them fought back and forth like this for a few rounds, and they didn't stop until Reimu began to urge in front, "This dress is thick, it's really uncomfortable to wear...... And the pants are a little loose......"
Starr, who was walking in front, screamed as if she had been stimulated by something. Ge Yiwei looked at her strangely - uh, no, the VIP trio in front of him were all about the same height, and they were all wrapped in radiation suits, and Alberta had thrown the gun without bullets, and he couldn't tell who was who now. Next to his ear, there was a voice from Kopp, "Marisa-san, you must be careful in your behavior in the radiation zone. The so-called radiation sickness is a systemic disease caused by the body being exposed to a large dose of ionizing radiation in a short period of time, and the final death will be very miserable......"
"Where did you get this textbook definition?"
"Special forces, any situation can be encountered, so although the knowledge of survival in the radiation zone may not be as good as that of professionals, it still needs to be mastered to some extent...... Exceptional! All on alert! β
K's sudden shouting caused the group to stop immediately, and all four guns were pointed at the place where there was movement. The three men from Gensokyo moved a little slower, but they immediately broke off the ground and started to be on guard - not because they were less vigilant, but in fact, for some reason, the spell casting time would be significantly longer after wearing the radiation suit.
Under the watchful eyes of ten people, a four-hoofed animal jumped up a small hill, and the horns on its head proved the animal's original identity: a sika deer.
Although, apart from those two horns, there was no other way for several people to identify it.
"My God," exclaimed Helena, looking at the animal standing there, "there is still a sign of life in a place like this...... It's nothing short of a miracle. What a lucky little guy. β
"I guess it came out of the Tokyo Zoo. I visited once a few years ago, and it was the only place in Tokyo where sika deer might exist. Speaking of which, the sika deer in China are all extinct...... It's a shame. β
Just as the two of them were sighing here, everyone heard the dull sound of an electromagnetic firearm like pulling a cork. The animal's head on the hillside suddenly burst open like a watermelon and fell straight down. Ge Yiwei looked at Jim who was walking in front in surprise: "Captain Jim? Why? β
"A moving radiation source. The area of contamination caused by this nuclear explosion is too large, and the consequences if it crosses the blockade line are unimaginable. Such a dangerous thing cannot be allowed to exist. β
ββ¦β¦ I understand. β
The four lowered their guns and rearranged in the middle of the VIP trio. The three people in the sky seemed to have just reacted, and Reimu and Sanae's voices sounded at the same time: "Why! β
"Jim explained that clearly enough, right? We don't have time to argue now, girls. It was Helena who answered them, "Hurry up." β
"You know how much it suffered to survive! Why did you just kill it? Lingmeng still intended to stick to his opinion, but was pushed back by Ge Yiwei: "Do you know how much the soldiers you killed on the battlefield suffered to survive? Why did you kill them like that? Shut your mouth and hurry to your way. β
Reimu fell to the ground and didn't speak again. She knew that she was not qualified to defend the sika deer.
Around, quiet and terrible.
