Chapter 718: The North
Twelve hours after the River Styx disappeared, Tokyo and the whole of Toei were divided by a ring - the place where the River Styx used to be located has now become an unexplained "unlivable realm".
Originally, the entire River Styx flowed down from Mt. Fuji and encircled the entire Tokyo metropolitan area, encircling the 12 million people inside. As the River Styx retreated back to Mount Fuji, the ground where the river had been stored was sunk down about three meters, and the bottom of the dried up took on a rotten black, like a wide black tape.
No plant or animal can survive in this rotten belt...... The results were first published by a voluntary group of scientists. Speaking of this volunteer scientific group, it has an unusual origin, it was formed by some university professors in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
When the news of the presence of zombies in the Nagoya metropolitan area after the nuclear bomb attack on Heian Kyoto arrived, there were many students and teachers in the university circle in Tokyo who were ready to move, and they immediately volunteered to form two teams, most of which were composed of foreign professors teaching at the university, some local teachers, and some university students who were not afraid of death.
The two teams went to Heian Kyoto and Nagoya respectively.
Most of the team that entered Heian Kyoto were professors from various disciplines with extensive experience in nuclear research, as well as some people who were engaged in post-disaster relief and nuclear field research. In addition to their sense of responsibility for social rescue, they are more enthusiastic about academic research. After all, since Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Heian Kyoto is the only city to have withstood a real nuclear attack, and it is a treasure trove for nuclear researchers.
In addition to biologists, sociologists, and a large number of film and television practitioners, as well as a large number of zombie and vampire lovers, this team was formed in the process, because it involved the famous women's team, the supporters of the bka84 group also joined the team, and finally formed a volunteer brigade of more than 300 people.
Soon after the two teams set out, they lost contact with the headquarters in Tokyo, and soon the "Devil's Tree Incident" from Heian Kyoto confirmed the death of the first volunteer team.
However, the team of volunteers who entered Nagoya was left empty, and no trace of the zombies was found, and the team of more than 300 people had to return to Tokyo, where they continued to search for volunteers at Tokyo Metropolitan University under the leadership of the volunteer leader, Professor Hachiro Togo.
The procession, which consisted only of university personnel as volunteers, quickly grew to several thousand for any purpose, and it was at this time that the "Diet Building Bombing" occurred in Tokyo, which shocked the world and led to the destruction of all high-ranking officials, from members of the Diet to the Prime Minister.
When the emperor was faced with this crisis of extinction, members of the opposition and other parties in Tokyo immediately fell into trouble and began to prepare for a new Toei government. It's a pity that these opposition parties are all on paper, because Ichiro Yasui, who controls half of the Self-Defense Forces and the entire Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, is the real boss.
Ichiro Yasui is also the governor of Tokyo, and as soon as he appeared at this time, he basically controlled the situation. The first thing Ichiro Yasui did when he came up was to send police to protect the Imperial Palace East Imperial Palace to protect the emperor. But when the police arrived, they found that the entire royal family was gone. No signs of resistance were found at the scene.
At this moment, Ichiro Yasui was in a hurry, and at the beginning of his press conference, there was another "vampire attack". The final result was that Ichiro Yasui was lucky to avoid the vampire's attack, but all the people at the press conference became members of the vampire.
Against this chaotic backdrop, when Mt. Fuji began to erupt, Yasui Ichiro had to turn to researchers at the University of Tokyo for help, so the "KZ" organization, which was made up of volunteers from various universities, became Yasui's reliant think tank.
The core members of the KZ organization are those who have returned from Nagoya, and their organization is called the "Science and Knowledge Volunteer Organization". The leader is Professor Hachiro Togo of the Department of Theoretical Physics at the University of Tokyo. The program is "Rely on science and knowledge to save the world when the world is facing the end of the world!" ”
In the beginning, the KZ organizations were not taken seriously by the Provisional Government and the Tokyo Foundation, which only used them as advisers. This changed again with the eruption of Mt. Fuji.
After the eruption of Mount Fuji, the River Styx appeared, cutting off Tokyo from the entire Toei Island, and the spirits that appeared near the River Styx once again plunged the entire Tokyo into a panic, and in this case, it was difficult for Yasui Ichiro's police force to control the situation, and they had to find the KZ organization again.
This time, the KZ organization sent a volunteer team of college students to go deep into the vicinity of the River Styx, using all the equipment they could find now to make observations, and selected a death squad to risk their lives to retrieve a sample of the water of the River Styx.
From the appearance of the River Styx to the disappearance of the River Styx, in just 68 hours, the KZ organization conducted several on-site observations, and the professors of the entire Tokyo metropolitan university circle were mobilized, and the adventure team brought back not only the soil, plants, rocks and other test samples near the River Styx, but also the most precious water of the River Styx.
Although it was only a few days, the number obtained based on these experimental samples allowed these researchers to discover a new continent. When the River Styx completely disappeared, leaving behind the vast "unsurvivable field", Hachiro Togo personally dispatched and led a team organized by KZ to the scene again to explore.
This expedition was very dangerous, and in the end only Hachiro Togo and two assistants returned alive in the team of twenty people, but what they brought back was a complete sample of the "unsurvivable field" soil.
Research based on the water of the River Styx and the unsurvivable realm was given the highest priority.
Although it is an elite group of people from all over Toei University, no one has much hope for the study of such unnatural phenomena, and generally speaking, this kind of research on unknown substances may cost a few decades to get points, and as for a short period of time, don't count on it.
But to everyone's surprise, the research on the water of the Styx and the unsurvivable realm soon came to fruition, and the two practical yàns designed by Hachiro Togo himself allowed them to extract a strange "electromagnetic wave particle" from the water of the Styx. This is a luminescent substance that resembles a grain of sand. According to the professors' inference, if there was enough Styx water, they could obtain electromagnetic wave particles larger than glass balls.
The discovery of electromagnetic wave particles is cross-generational, because they get unimaginable energy from electromagnetic wave particles, if this electromagnetic wave particle of the same size as ordinary silica particles is made into a weapon, about one sand particle is equivalent to 200 kilograms of TNT explosives. If used to generate electricity, a grain of sand can support a computer for two weeks.
The KZ organization was overjoyed by this discovery, and after reporting the data and research results to the provisional government, in just a few days, the KZ organization received the full support of the provisional government headed by Ichiro Yasui, as well as the Matsushita, Mitsui and other foundations.
The first thing that the Provisional Government and the consortium asked the KZ Organization was to conduct research on this electromagnetic particle as a combat weapon, and strive to turn it into a usable weapon in the fastest possible time......
Hachiro Togo was disappointed to receive this reply, believing that the first thing to consider was energy research, because humans might get a clean super energy source. At this time, there was inevitably a split within the KZ organization. Almost all of the members defected to the arms of the government, and only Hachiro Togo and two student assistants remained as a minority.
On this cold winter night in December, Togo Hachiro, who had been kicked out of the University of Tokyo's room, walked alone on the cold streets, and the only two students who supported him, one was bribed and the other was seriously ill.
Togo Hachiro looked up at the sky, and the cold stars tonight were brighter than usual, but also more distant.
The Provisional Government imposed a strict curfew in Tokyo, and the streets on all sides were filled with no one walking except armed patrols.
Togo Hachiro stumbles to an abandoned bar and is lucky enough to find a bottle of brandy. The bottle had been broken, and less than half of the wine remained, and Togo Hachiro raised his head and took a big sip, then coughed bitterly. However, under the stimulation of alcohol, he became more and more painful.
"It could have been a study to save Dongying, but they used it as a weapon." Togo Hachiro roared angrily, and there was a dog barking outside, and the patrol officers saw him with a flashlight, and after reporting it, they walked away, and they didn't bother to deal with a drunkard.
Togo Hachiro continued to drink, and soon the Provisional Government's professional hunting team appeared, driving a modified ambulance that specialized in dealing with disobedient citizens after the curfew. It is ridiculous that a few young men wearing trench coats with the Chinese character "evil" written on their clothes have now become law enforcement officers of the provisional government.
The rampers came over in a hip-hop, and when they saw that it was an old man, they were all disappointed, and one of them took out a needle: "Forget it, let this old guy sleep well." ”
The rest of the two laughed too, but their laughter was short, and without warning they stopped laughing, fell to the ground, and then remained motionless. The guy with the needle was startled, leaned over to look at his accomplice, and then his body trembled spasmodically, and he also fell to the ground.
This time Togo Hachiro could see clearly, he saw a faint flash, a reflection like a claw, a cat with a black body suddenly appeared from the void, and then a young girl walked out of the street opposite.
The girl was wearing a long trench coat, and the black cat jumped on her shoulder, meowing and becoming invisible again. The girl walked over slowly, and Togo Hachiro saw the Chinese characters embroidered on her trench coat, the white flying "north".
The girl smiled at him: "Professor Dongxiang, my name is Jiu'er, and I am from the north. I'm here to help you! ”
