Chapter XIX. BR Act
[Keywords: economic crisis, inflation, a financial tsunami capable of upending the fate of the world is sweeping the world at an alarming speed. 】
[Narrator: In the classroom, students are on strike.] In the factory, workers went on strike. This once prosperous country seems to have come to the end of its life.
In the face of the collapse of the country and the rebellion of young people, the crumbling government finally promulgated the "New Century Education Reform Law", known as the BR Act, which is of great significance for the times. According to the law, when teenagers reach adulthood, they will be collectively thrown into a desert island, go through battles, learn to survive, and finally stand out from their peers and complete their own coming-of-age ceremony. Battle royale, redemption, and coming-of-age ceremonies have become a boundless nightmare that haunts young people across the country. Although the law was controversial from all walks of life as soon as it was introduced, the battle royale game still received large-scale promotion across the country under the so-called remarks of people with a heart to improve literacy and cultivate will...
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the third year of the Battle Royale trial.
The graduation season is coming, and Lu Yu, an ordinary high school student, comes to the wild with his class. However, my class was involved in this year's battle royale game because of an accident.
When former friends become rivals who fight each other.
Camaraderie? Love? Affection? Can it really be tested by human nature? 】
......
......
Three years after the trial of the BR Act, R country
Outside the fence of the closed bank, shareholders who had long since collapsed paced back and forth in the aisles, desperate curses one after another.
Outside the iron gate of the abandoned factory, on the road just separated by a wall, workers who should have been holding banners demanding wages shouted angrily.
Blackboards and walls filled with graffiti, empty classrooms, sat teachers who had nothing to do because of the strike.
In the once bustling commercial street, colorful notices were hung outside the shops, and its owner was long gone.
Standing on a bleak street, bustling passers-by walked by without any expression on their faces.
There was no conversation, everyone bowed their heads and walked their way seriously.
After all... After all... When even being alive is a kind of anticipation, probably no one wants to spend time on these meaningless things.
At this time, if you are on a high place and look at every corner of the city, you can only feel a sense of desolation and dilapidation.
Who would have thought that this was once the most prosperous city in the country?
There is no hope, or even no hope
This is probably the truest portrayal of the country after the economic depression.
...
Dongyang City, Gaoyang Plaza, inside a parked car
The man sat in the driver's seat with a serious face, reached out and carefully turned on the radio in the car.
According to this station, after three days and three nights of fighting, the only survivor of this battle royale, Ms. Miko Takakawa, will arrive at Gaoyang Square with a military plane today. At this moment, countless onlookers have gathered at the scene. All are curious, how is an ordinary girl with a mediocre appearance... Hiss... This game... Hiss.. Hiss... We...."
As time passed, the sound of the radio began to be somewhat distorted as if it had been affected by the stormy weather
The man's expression began to become a little anxious, and he reached out and fiddled with the radio buttons, trying to get the radio to sound back to the beginning.
Outside the car, in the dark and oppressive sky, there was a flash of lightning and thunder from time to time, indicating the coming of a rainstorm.
Not far away, in the square, were well-trained soldiers with live ammunition. Densely packed with military uniforms, three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounded the already small square.
On the periphery of the square, countless people gathered together, crowding the entire square, and their eyes were full of anxiety.
No one cares about this untimely rain ... Or the catastrophe we are facing.
Everyone, everyone fixed their eyes on the sky overhead.
The heavens were empty, and it was evident that the Lord had not yet come.
I don't know how long I waited
In the lifeless sky, a dark green military helicopter finally flew slowly from afar with everyone's expectant eyes.
The helicopter circled several times in the air, and finally slowly descended with the roar of the engine.
Smack!!
Under everyone's gaze, the heavy hatch was slowly pushed open.
One hand
A pale, bloodless hand was the first to reach out from the pitch-black cabin.
Click-
Click-
The reporters who had been waiting for a long time in the distance hurriedly picked up the cameras in their hands and quickly captured the direction of the hatch.
Countless flashing lights lit up, and the scene in the dimly lit cabin finally came into the public's sight.
Extremely thin body, but wearing a school uniform that is obviously one size larger. The school uniform was in tatters, and even the remaining parts were covered in large blood clots.
The freckled face has tear stains that seem to be absent, giving people a pitiful feeling
Is this such a girl who has come out of everyone's nightmare, that isolated island?
Buzz - Buzz -
Before everyone could recover from their curiosity about the girl, there was a roar of engines in the distance.
A camouflage-colored military jeep shook the muddy water on the ground and sped towards the square.
As if they had been prepared, many soldiers on duty unanimously divided a road and let the jeep swagger towards the center of the square.
The girl was surrounded by soldiers, and in front of everyone, she walked towards the jeep.
Pap Ta - Pap Ta - Pap Ta
Suddenly, the girl who was walking forward stopped and slowly turned around.
The corners of his mouth grinned, revealing a meaningful smile
For some reason, this simple smile gives people a creepy feeling.
Then, as if she had no more concerns, she strode into the jeep.
Buzz - Buzz -
The Jeep increased the throttle and disappeared from everyone's sight
......
....
Morgue? Mass graves?
Lu Yu, who woke up, looked at these lying in front of him, and there were still some fleshy things, and a terrible thought suddenly appeared in his heart.
Please, last time, there were more than a dozen living people with me, why did you get yourself directly into the dead pile this time?
Calm down, a little calm!
Lu Yu rubbed his sore arm, struggled to get up, stretched out his hand and groped around. I know this situation very well in my heart, and I must not sit still.
Is this rustling touch cement?
"Ahh Lu Yu roared tentatively again, symbolically emboldening himself.
Ahhh
Echo? Lu Yu soon realized that he might be in a large and confined space.
Thorn -
What was that? The alert Lu Yu quickly caught the subtle sound coming from the corner and quickly fell to the ground.
I don't know how long I waited
"How did I end up here?" "Where is this?" "I'm so scared of !!" "Who the hell got Lao Tzu here?" ...
In the dimly lit space, there were bursts of noise that began to echo in my ears from time to time.
Whew-
Knowing this, Lu Yu was sure that the humanoid objects lying in front of him were not the corpses he imagined.
"Now, all of you should be awake, right?"
Just as the surrounding voices gradually grew louder as the crowd woke up, a rough voice sounded from the front of everyone like thunder.
Snap Tower –
As soon as the words fell, countless pillars of light as thick as pythons instantly lit up around them, and in an instant, the originally dark warehouse was illuminated.
It's glaring!
This was Lu Yu's first feeling. However, when he put down his blind-covering hands again and looked around, he was really frightened by the scene in front of him.
Before, because of the low visibility, I just roughly judged that there should be some people around me based on the noise of everyone.
But when the entire warehouse was illuminated, and he watched countless soldiers with loaded ammunition surround a group of people wearing standard school uniforms like himself, he realized that this was probably not as simple as some people.
The camouflage-clad soldiers, wearing riot helmets and armed with a variety of submachine guns, surrounded themselves in the center of the warehouse.
War game? Looking at the muzzle of the black hole, Lu Yu didn't think that the seriousness on the faces of these soldiers was joking with himself.
