The New Law on Atomic Intestines, a bill proposed by the Son of Heaven to respect the basic human rights of the "cursed child", was not accepted by the world at all.

Not so long ago, "cursed children" were usually secretly born by the river, drowning in a state where they could not open their eyes. In addition, because of their amazing ability to regenerate, they are vulnerable to cruel abuse by their parents.

It is said that if parents suffer from the after-effects of the war, which causes shock when they see their red eyes, they will not be able to look at their children directly.

In addition, because the genetics are contaminated with the original intestinal virus, even a paternity test cannot prove the blood relationship, and some people even boldly question whether they are legally considered human.

The "predatory generation" who lived through the Great War are almost all potential "cursed children" discriminators, and in this state there are very few willing to take their side.

After accepting the commission of the Son of Heaven, Yang Xi did not return to Muroto Sumire's research room, but set off towards the outer area.

Ten years have passed in a flash to distinguish the living boundary between humans and protogastrates with a giant stone monument. The only one who survived the war was Tokyo. The neighboring prefectures of Kanagawa, Chiba, and Saitama were all cut into fragments by megaliths. In order to unify these lands, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government was renamed the Tokyo District, which was divided into 43 wards—this was nine years ago.

The closer you are to the ward in the center of Tokyo, the more you are numbered earlier (the location of the sacred residence is the first ward), and the closer you get to the border, the closer you are.

Sumire Muroto was taking Yang Xing to pick up her sister Yang Qian at this time, and it just so happened that Yang Xi also wanted to see the most annoying place in the entire Tokyo area.

The outer area is actually the border area bordering the megalith, and it is also a ruined capital that no one wants to live in.

The breath of human activity gradually disappears here, and the incredible can be seen everywhere. For example, it's hard to imagine the footprints of giant monsters caused by humans, the chairs covered in bloodstains, and the four-wheel-drive cars with broken windows, which are as bright red as rust, and where unknown reddish-purple weeds grow in the crevices of the seats.

Even after ten years, several layers of paper of various colors are still plastered on the bulletin boards that were urgently erected. "Xiaoxiang, I'm Wenzi. If you are safe, please contact me. "To Daiki Kato - I'm at my uncle's house." "Contact address XXXX. Aso Koji. "Look for the child (with a photo of a boy about five years old)." "To Yoko. Dad and Dongmei are safe and sound (the back becomes blurry and can't be seen clearly). ”

These are bulletin boards set up by people who have been separated during the war to reunite. After the destruction of the base station. Mobile phones become garbage. It is also an area devastated by war, and the scars of the war are still alive.

As I continued walking, my vision widened. That's due to the fact that there are fewer and fewer collapsed buildings and half-ruined houses that obscure the view.

Some of them look like new large factories. There are various power generation facilities such as geothermal, thermal power, hydropower, wind power, solar power, and nuclear power plants.

Originally, Japan was surrounded by the sea, and the sea breeze was strong. In addition, Japan is home to about 10% of the world's volcanoes, so you can use geothermal energy. The country's terrain is complex, with large elevation differences, so it is also rich in water resources.

Today, in the year 2031, the energy conversion efficiency of solar cells has been improved by leaps and bounds, and a tokamak-type fusion furnace has been established in Area 41.

Electricity in the center of the city is almost always supplied by the outer districts. But—

Compare the collapsed buildings to the asphalt pavement, which is much more beautiful. Yang Xi looked back thoughtfully at the bustling area behind him.

The same is true for earthquakes, where the first roads to be repaired are to transport supplies. The second is the drinking water that is indispensable for life, and then it slowly fills other food, clothing and shelter.

Why is it that the roads are paved and there is no progress at all in reconstruction? I think it's because the government doesn't plan to rebuild the outlying areas.

The outlying area now serves three purposes. Dangerous nuclear power plants are operated, urban central waste dumps are planted, and genetically modified crops called magic seeds are planted, which means that all abandoned areas are bulldozed and cultivated, and fortunately, waste such as cement can play a role in reducing soil acidity.

Whichever of these three is used. Didn't care about the number of residents who live here.

After letting go of the perception and locking on the breath of Muroto Sumire and Yang Xing, Yang Xi instantly moved over.

Glance around. Yang Xi couldn't help frowning. This is a sewer, the space is unexpectedly wide, and it is cleaner than expected, but the strong stench of domestic wastewater over the years makes Yang Xi, who has a wide open perception, uncomfortable for a while.

Quickly blocked the perception. It's much better now.

In front of him, Sumire Muroto didn't seem to care about the smell and was talking to a man.

The other party is short. Gray hair, but not hunchbacked. With glasses hanging on his face, he gives an intellectual impression. The man held a cane with a rubber cushion at the bottom, not too old, but definitely not young. He is not a vagabond, I am afraid that he lives here of his own volition. Although the dress is a little dirty, it exudes a strong and gentle atmosphere when you laugh. Yang Xi couldn't help but guess that he might have been a teacher before.

"Sumire, what about luck?"

Yang Xi suddenly made a voice and startled the two people who were communicating, and after Muroto Sumire looked back and saw that it was him, he breathed a sigh of relief, "People are scared to death!" Please, squeak before you show up next time. By the way, didn't you go to talk to the Son of Heaven about things? How did you find this place? ”

"It's been talked about, and the results are not ideal. Or rather, she didn't believe in my abilities, and I thought that you, one of the four sages, would impress her. After all, am I still thinking too highly of that little girl? ”

"Alas~ Even if I am one of the four sages, it doesn't mean that I have any right to speak in the Tokyo area, your initial idea was wrong. Fortunately, I've already gone inside to pick up my sister.,I should be packing up.。 ”

"By the way, you are Mr. Yang Xi in the mouth of Miss Muroto, right?"

With the old man's lifelong experience, he hesitated for a long time before he said uncertainly.

"That's right."

"My name is Matsuzaki and I'm here to take care of the children."

The other party pushed his glasses with his middle finger and looked at Yang Xi's eyes: "It's much warmer here than outside, right?" ”

"Well, I thought that the sewer would only shelter from the wind and rain at most, and it seems that it might be able to survive the winter easily."

"Because most of the hot water coming out of the power plant is hot water."

"I see. But children aside, after all, they are more adapted to this environment if they are infected with the original intestinal virus, but it is not a good thing for you. ”

"My words, it doesn't matter for the time being, I hope that the children here will one day leave here to live with ordinary people, so before that, I must stay here and teach them how to control their feelings."

The "cursed child" is no different from a normal person as long as it does not expose its red eyes.

However, the "cursed child" can only appear as a normal person when he is in a calm mood, and once he is excited, his true form will be revealed.

"Mr. Matsuzaki, you're a 'plundered generation' yourself, aren't you?"

"Nothing to do with that. The aggression of proto-arazoides against humans is not the same as that of children who are unfortunate enough to be attacked by the virus in their embryos. Their 'pure generation' is a victim. ”

Hearing this, Sumire Muroto couldn't help but sigh: "It's good that everyone thinks the same as you, but I'm not qualified to say such things, after all, I used to be crazy for a while." ”

"There's no way around it. The residual hatred will not disappear in ten years, everyone is very sensitive to the word protozoa, and children with bacteria in their bodies walking down the street are naturally disgusting. ”

The topic is getting heavier and heavier, and even Yang Xi doesn't know how to continue.

It was still Matsuzaki who broke the peace with his words.

"By the way, Mr. Yang Xi, I heard Miss Muroto say that you want to take all the children here to the central area?"

"That's right, I want to build a school for the 'cursed children' to study, create an environment where they are not discriminated against and treated unfairly, and let them all live a normal life!"

When Yang Xi said this, Matsuzaki's feelings immediately became excited, but then, he asked a little melancholy, "Mr. Yang Xi, your mention is indeed very good, but if you do this, won't it cause a big conflict?" After all"

After all, the central area is the world of normal people, and although those ordinary people usually have to listen to the government, once they make a fuss, even the government has to bow their heads. The power of the state, no matter where it may be, is incomparably enormous, and the groups of individuals who are able to confront it are almost non-existent.

At least, Matsuzaki didn't think Yang Xi had this ability.

Maybe he's rich, but that's not something money can solve.

"You don't have to worry about that, for me, it's just a trivial matter. When the school is established, there will be a need for someone like Mr. Matsuzaki to serve as a teacher to educate the children. ”

"Hehe, I'm old, it's okay to teach them some common sense and simple words, but the teacher doesn't need anything, if Mr. Yang Xi's school is really built, just let me be a janitor. I am satisfied to be able to watch the energetic children go to and from school happily every day! ”

"Doorman? Mr. Matsuzaki can rest assured that this wish will come true in a short time! ”

After resolving the "Legacy of the Seven Stars" incident, Yang Xi was ready to negotiate with the Son of Heaven again. Of course, it's better to have her support, even if it doesn't work, he doesn't mind conquering the entire Tokyo area with strong tactics and letting everyone know who to listen to!
