Chapter Seventy-One, Oriental Radiation Township (I)
“…… War, war never changes.
The Romans spilled blood all over the Mediterranean coast for the seizure of wealth and slaves;
The Spaniards built an empire by virtue of their possession of gold and territory;
Hitler shaped devastated Germany into a formidable force;
But war never changes. Because this is the inevitable end of the path of human nature.
Everyone believes in victory, and everyone is extremely optimistic.
It is this terrible optimism that, while contributing to the birth of civilization, drives everyone into a conflict that intensifies until it is destroyed.
It is the beginning and the end.
The coming of the end of the world is not much different from what we predicted: too many people, too few resources.
The details don't matter anymore; The reason is purely human. It always has been.
Atomic sparks ignited by human hands burned the wilderness.
The stars rained down fiery spears from the sky.
Big 6 was engulfed in flames and fell into the boiling waters.
Our souls melt into the background radiation, covering the earth.
Silent darkness envelops the entire planet, year after year.
However, this is not the last page of human history, but only the prologue of another bloody chapter
Those in underground shelters are waiting for the end of winter, and those who survive on the surface are learning the new rules of the world.
From the ruins of the old world, from the ashes of nuclear destruction, new villages, new tribes, new social formations, new civilizational systems are struggling to get up, regain old resentments, or forge new hatreds
Although mankind has succeeded in destroying a world - but war, war never changes"
- Introductory words for the game "Fallout".

A month after the zombie crisis, the castle of the bed owner, which has just been rebuilt, is a castle tower made of high-strength alloy made of futuristic technology
Shizuka Jukawa, who was on duty today, was kneeling at a low table on the tatami mat, turning the ballpoint pen in her hand boredly and melancholy.
At this moment, although it should be noon from the clock, the sky is so dim that it is like twilight, and the lights need to be turned on - because the sky is always covered with radioactive dust and volcanic ash, making the sunlight unusually dim...... Even outside the sturdy tempered glass window, a thick layer of volcanic ash rich in radioactive materials has piled up, and a few colorful fluorescent rays flash from time to time, making people feel both beautiful and terrifying
And looking down from the window, the city street scene that she was very familiar with has become completely unfamiliar, and it has become a post-apocalyptic world
-- The city's landscapes and streets, as well as its embankments, bridges, beaches, and forests, are now unrecognizable
Under the lead-gray gloomy sky, there was hardly a complete house in sight, not even a single tree standing, only countless mud ponds remained. The tall and majestic reinforced concrete buildings have now been razed to the ground, and only some rusty steel bars remain, rolled into twisted shapes like spider webs...... Everywhere are the horrific ruins of ruins, and the crumbling and messy wreckage, piled up haphazardly, covered in muddy mud and thick ashes, making up the last vestiges of this modern civilized city.
In front of the castle, the once turbulent and clear Obetsu River has become a muddy, smelly swamp quagmire, with all sorts of miscellaneous debris floating on it, and the occasional human or animal skeleton can be seen. At the end of the field of vision, a 100,000-ton giant oil tanker can be seen full of holes, lying in the city's most prosperous business district...... To put it bluntly, the land has been completely destroyed
Speaking of which, this is also the self-inflicted work of the survivors in the Castle Vault of the Bed Owner - just after everyone voted to drop 100 billion tons of antimatter bombs on New Zealand and Israel, and executed the extermination orders on these two suspected countries, a tsunami with an average height of more than 900 meters suddenly exploded in the South Pacific Ocean and hit the entire Pacific coast with great momentum
This unforeseen catastrophe brought another round of unprecedented disasters to the Japanese archipelago, whose population is mainly concentrated in the coastal zone, -- when the terrifying tsunami struck, the monstrous waves even pierced the entire Japanese archipelago in one breath, from the Pacific Ocean to the Sea of Japan
As a result, the Plain, where Kyoto and Osaka are located, the Kanto Plain where Tokyo is located, and the Nobi Plain (where Mino-Owari and Oda Nobunaga began), the most densely populated areas in Japan, have now been transformed into giant saltwater swamps where people and animals do not exist. As for the city of Bedlord, which directly faced the Pacific Ocean, it was even more devastating: when the tsunami hit, the entire area of Bedlord City was completely submerged under the sea, and it took five days to wait until the sea receded and saw the light of day again - it was clear that except for the few survivors of the Takashiro family hiding in an underground sealed bunker, there would probably be no one in the entire Kanto Plain who would survive
What's worse is that even such a monstrous and crazy tsunami did not extinguish the anger of Mt. Fuji - the furious red vents were daunting, and the scorching lava danced ferociously, turning into a belt of ominous red light, flowing down the mountain, and the hideous red flow led to forest fires, igniting the fields and burning the houses, creating a cruel landscape full of strange beauty...... Roaring waters, gushing magma, diffuse volcanic ash, and naturally toxic gases...... The sea and six places were covered in ashes, so that every Japanese who was lucky enough to escape the nuclear explosion and zombies had to continue to struggle in the "dire straits": this is the real literal dire situation
In short, when the people of the Gao Cheng family were able to re-emerge from the surface after munching on cans and cakes in the sunless underground, and living in the cave for a week without doing anything, the ancient city above their heads was long gone, and the deadly radiation made it impossible for people to live in peace on the surface at all.
As a result, Doraemon had to use the radiation-proof high-strength alloy components of the future world to rebuild an antique Japanese castle for them, as an observation post to reconnoiter the outside world, and a safe passage to rescue other survivors who may be in Zài Unfortunately, although Doraemon and Soichiro Takashiro and others have organized several search and rescue teams against the radiation, they have not been able to rescue even a single survivor from the outside.
Perhaps, the survivor base where he is currently located has become the only Noah's Ark of human civilization on the Japanese archipelago
So, from now on, there will be no new animations, no new comics and light novels, no more idol dramas and river dramas, and no more Hollywood blockbusters to watch? Even the new designer fashion and fashion magazines are gone?
Also, how many days have it been since the tsunami hit? It's been almost three weeks
Alas, what a boring and boring dark world that makes people feel depressed and spiritually empty
Since the catastrophe, she has been worry-free about food and clothing, so that she doesn't know the hardships of the outside world, Shizuka Jukawa, a female school doctor who doesn't know the hardships of the outside world, sighed with a melancholy face, casually opened a beautiful pink diary decorated with ribbons and silk flowers, and continued to write about the life insights full of the atmosphere of the second middle school:
“…… What kind of posture does this world exist in your eyes?
Perhaps, different people have different answers to this question - poor people feel that the world is a dangerous man-eating beast; Wealthy people feel that the world is a table full of delicacies; People who are unwilling feel that the world is full of gray; Proud people, but the world in their eyes is a colorful picture; The old people who are dying, in their opinion, it doesn't matter how the world is, and they are about to usher in eternity, and they see the chess game that they have withdrawn; And the teenager who is full of expectations and fantasies will ignore the countless traps that can make people irreversible, and simply think that it is a stage to show his wonderful life...... But in fact, these naïve or realistic ideas are not really important.
Although many people habitually use the word 'world' on their lips, their view of the world does not hinder the self-operation of the world at all. Whether it is love, hate, contempt, or awe, any one-sided questioning of the world will not be answered.
Because you're in it yourself.
Your existence forms a part of the world as you see it—even if it's a tiny part.
The "power" you are proud of, the "glory" you are proud of, and the "persistence" you persist in are all extremely small parts of the world in which you live - perhaps in your own eyes, it is a majestic and vast river and sea, but as far as the whole world is concerned, it is only a trickle that is too faint to be recognized. In the final analysis, the truth of this world can be summed up as the vastness and horror of the world, the insignificance and helplessness of the individual, and the tenacity and preciousness of life...... That's all.
However, the destruction of this world came so suddenly, so quietly and silently.
While we were still living that plain life. Even when there are unusual warning signs in the air, most of us don't show them, and even if there are all kinds of unusual signs, we only think that it is a random coincidence......
When this cruel world that is about to be destroyed has been completely presented in front of us, we don't know what life will be like in the future, we can only hug each other in fear, and get a trace of warmth from the equally trembling bodies of others.
Finally, the familiar old world slowly shattered like glass in front of us, but we could only watch and do nothing. In order to protect the only remaining hope, we can only take up the weapons in our hands and try to protect ourselves and what we can protect......"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Just as Shizuka Jukawa bit the pen and frowned and pondered the next sentence of this prose, a familiar voice came to her ears.
“…… Yo, what kind of pretentious stuff is this, uh, "Calling Love in the Heart of Fallout"? Hehe, is my Shizuka-chan still in the inexplicable middle and second phase? A certain purple-brown skinned bodybuilding lady gently bit Shizuka's ear and teased affectionately.
"Ahh
Shizuka Jukawa, the female school doctor Jukawa, who was suddenly attacked, suddenly jumped up like a frightened rabbit, hid the diary in a panic, and then reacted, "...... Huh? Rika: When are you coming back? Will this search for survivors in Nagano Prefecture go smoothly? ”
The top female sniper of the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department, Minami Satoka, Shizuka Jukawa's lily lover, was a little tired with a cigarette in her mouth, and sat down on the tatami mat next to the female school doctor Kim, "...... I also came back a quarter of an hour ago, and I just changed my clothes and came to you. As for the situation in Nagano Prefecture... Hey, despite all our efforts, we haven't found any survivors......"
Hearing this depressing answer, the excited look that was originally filled with Shizuka Jukawa's eyes couldn't help but dim.
-- After searching the Kanto Plain and coastal hills soaked in sea water for several days, but still finding nothing, the group looked at the map for a long time and turned their attention to the higher Nagano Prefecture (the territory of Kai Province in ancient Japan, Takeda Shingen): this place is known as the "Roof of Japan" and is the farthest area from the ocean on the Japanese archipelago, and it is estimated that it will be able to avoid the tsunami. Moreover, Nagano Prefecture does not have any particularly prosperous industrial and commercial cities, nor does it have nuclear power plants or facilities, so it has not been vulnerable to a global nuclear war.
According to this reasoning, even if humanity is completely extinct in other parts of Japan, it is likely that many people will survive in Nagano Prefecture, at least...... Unfortunately, there is always a big gap between the harsh reality and the optimistic theory.
“…… This time, the eruption of Mt. Fuji was truly extraordinary, and the volcanic ash on the streets of Kofu was half a meter thick, and a forest fire broke out in the inner 6 mountain forest...... When we looked at the towns, they were either covered in ash, covered in toxic gases, charred in the fires, and polluted with seawater and radioactive fallout. Everywhere you see only a purgatory-like scene......
The female sniper, Nan Lixiang, was holding a seven-star brand cigarette and swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog comfortably, while babbling about what she had seen and heard about this trip, "...... We ventured into the building and checked a few underground bunkers that might be hiding people, but now all that could move was zombies, not half of the living people, and we couldn't even hear birds and cats outside, only a few cockroaches......
Right now, Soichiro Takashiro is using Doraemon's magical props to dig a tunnel to the Tokyo subway, hoping that some Japanese people will survive nuclear war, zombies, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions in the subway, and have persevered until now...... But I'm not very optimistic about it -- maybe we're the only ones in Japan who survived......"
-- Massive tsunamis, erupting volcanoes, terrifying nuclear bombs, and raging radiation...... Even if you find a shelter to escape this qiē threat, you still have to worry about zombie infections within the survivors - such a brutal apocalyptic situation is really hard to know how to live
“…… Alas, it seems, our world is really ruined enough."
Shizuka Jukawa sighed and hugged Minami Satoka's body from behind, then reached out and helped her rub her shoulders, "...... Do you know? Last night, I had a terrible nightmare, dreaming that on a hazy morning when a gray-yellow fog filled the sky, you sat in a dusty living room in your dressing gown, ate the roasted lizard for breakfast, and then wiped your mouth and said to me, '...... My dear, I went to work, bring my gas mask, biochemical suit, anti-radiation pills and Pip-Boy 36,
And while I was handing you something, I nagged and said, 'Ana, I heard that prices have risen sharply recently, is there enough money for lunch with three bottle caps a day?' Your stomach has not been very good, and when you go to the Cass bar with your colleagues at night, remember to drink only the lowest degree of mushroom wine, and don't drink the kind of moonshine made from fission battery acid and yeast, which will make your brain drink stupid ......,
――When I woke up, I was really scared into a cold sweat, and now that I think about it, I must have played Fallout games at home a lot, but I still feel that I still feel that Japan in the future will not become the new Vegas of the game."
"...... the new Vegas from Fallout? Hehe, if Japan can have such an end, it is already time to burn high incense, at least so many people have survived and can see the sun...... Seriously, the future of our world, I'm afraid it's even worse than "Fallout", relying on these magical props provided by Doraemon, it shouldn't be a big problem for us to survive, but this quality of life, well, it's best not to count on it......
Nan Sato Xiang spat out a smoke ring at Shizuka Jukawa, and said with a wry smile, "I don't care, I'm just afraid I'm going to make you bitter......"
-- Nan Lixiang is very self-aware of the hard life ahead: a woman like her, who is thick-skinned and keen on gunpowder and gun oil, may be able to live comfortably as long as she has food and clothing. But for a pampered fashionable young woman like Shizuka Jukawa, it's hard to bear.
This golden ** female school doctor, like many literary and artistic petty bourgeois young women, although she has the appearance of a mature woman, she has always maintained a rather romantic girl's heart deep down - she wants beautiful clothes to fill her wardrobe; I also want to keep expensive cosmetics and perfumes running out; If you want to visit the café and dessert shop every weekend, you can taste all kinds of desserts and ice creams; I want to watch new anime every day and play new versions of games; I also want to watch those Hollywood blockbusters often, and go to the live concerts of idol singers to cheer......
Unfortunately, in this end-of-life when humanity is on the verge of extinction, none of the aforementioned qiē entertainment and enjoyment will cease to exist.
However, Shizuka Jukawa has a different idea about it, "...... Hey, that's what I'm saying, I'm afraid my future life will be very bad, it seems that I really have to use that trick, Lixiang-chan, I'm very strict with you, oh, do you want to live the same life again? ”
She suddenly pulled Nan Rika's shoulder, stared at her eyes very seriously, and asked.
“…… Ha? Life like ever? How is this possible? The world has been ruined
Nan Lixiang first blinked incredulously, and then seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but open her mouth wide, so that the cigarettes she was originally holding fell to the ground with a click, "Is that the way?" But will those people say yes? They're not obligated to take care of us."
“…… That's right, that's the way," Shizuka Jukawa smiled and snapped her fingers, "...... Think delicious desserts and feasts, stylish clothes and bags, great TV, animation, networking and games...... Are you willing to say goodbye to these things forever? ”
This golden ** natural fool, with a pair of shining star eyes, uses an extremely coquettish voice to persuade her good friend like this.
“… As for how to make a man nod, you should also know that it will definitely use our women's talent capital, well, Rika-chan, we are good friends who will be together for the rest of our lives, right? In order for us to enjoy the colorful modern city life again, can you abandon the shyness and reserve in your heart and make a little sacrifice...... Don't worry, people will come with you......"
