Chapter Eighty-Seven: Then I Thank You!
What happened in Hachioji City is just a microcosm, and counting the towns that are also close to Mt. Takao, nearly two million people were evacuated on this rainy night, and tens of millions of people prayed for them from a long distance.
However, they are undoubtedly lucky, because they live in areas where the population is concentrated, and they can be protected in the first place.
More villages, even single-family huts, tend to be closer to the mountains as they live in more remote areas, which means they are hit by the yokai wave earlier.
But because of the blockage of communication, these people often don't even know what's going on, and they still don't know that there are hordes of monsters surging outside.
The Metropolitan Police Department and the Ground Self-Defense Force are hastily laying defensive lines on the flat terrain, and they will be the main force in this monster resistance war.
But there are still a lot of lonely monsters, they do not follow the tide of monsters, but spread out along the mountains in a daze, and the first thing they encounter is undoubtedly those isolated humans.
And this is the battlefield of the dogs, they are large but amazingly fast, they can adapt well to a variety of terrain, both in terms of mobility and support speed.
A small village at the foot of Mt. Takao has a population of just over a dozen households.
The village was pitch black, and everyone had fallen asleep early, and they would never have known that there was a battle taking place in the fields less than a hundred meters from the village.
Several dogs bared their teeth and stared at the col not far away, leaning forward and letting out a low warning roar.
There were also a few pairs of green eyes in the col staring back at them vigilantly, hiding their form with the help of the shrubs.
They are some small monsters who have escaped the wave of monsters, and they have accidentally discovered a small village at the foot of the mountain while walking along the mountain forest.
They don't know what's inside the boxy boxes, but the monster's instinct makes them salivate over what's inside, as if they're there to eat them.
However, when they couldn't wait to rush into the village, there was an accident, and a group of stone monsters that appeared out of nowhere stopped them, and several monsters who couldn't help but rush into the village were trampled on flat.
Youkai and Komachi confronted each other nervously, but even if these newborn youkai had the ability to think, more of them were still instincts that permeated their bodies.
One of the youkai couldn't suppress his instinct and rushed out of the mountain forest towards the village, followed by the rest of the youkai who saw this.
The same is true for the Komachi, an extra large Komachi dog was the first to neigh, and the rest of the Komachi dogs that were a few laps smaller echoed suit.
A battle in the field unfolded.
There is nothing worth telling, because the stone Komachi has too much advantage over the little monsters with grass and flesh.
In just a few minutes, all the youkai were smashed, and only one of the Komachi dogs was shattered due to the cracks in their bodies.
Standing on top of the remains of the youkai, the huge Komachi raised its nose and shrugged at the forest in front of it, and after confirming that there was no breath of other youkai, he quickly left.
The other smaller dogs returned to the intersection of the village, crouched down and changed back to their original stone statues.
They are not the komakeni that are worshipped in the shrine, but they are just the komachi dogs used by ordinary people to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, but when the big komachi came to the village to wake them up and ask them to fight off the yokai together, they did not hesitate to step down from the stone platform.
This scene happened in many different places at the same time, most of them were small villages with a slight population, but more remote places were not so lucky, and when the dogs arrived, the monsters had already left contentedly.
Many people were destined to die that night, but it also contributed to the determination of the Japanese government.
It can be seen from the fact that the Metropolitan Police Department did not shy away from using the term "monster impact" in the previous emergency evacuation notice, and it can be seen that the government's attitude towards extraordinary events is no longer as ambiguous as before.
Although the government no longer deliberately controls speech and allows the public to discuss relevant matters, it seems to have acquiesced, but in fact, every time the government spokesperson is mentioned about the issue, it will remain silent and avoid talking about it.
Now it is clear that the government is planning to gradually make the relevant matters public, so that the people can also participate in this great era.
In fact, this is also the Japanese government being forced to helpless.
In the modern world, the infiltration between countries will be more serious than people think, unless it is the kind of negotiation where a few people hide in a secret room, it is really difficult to hide anything for a lifetime.
From the very beginning of the establishment of the special course, many countries have set their sights on it.
Incident after incident, Demon Dao Ji, Baimian River, Qingfang Owner, Si Jian Shen......
It may be a secret to the general public, but it is really not a secret to those state organizations.
According to the report of the Japanese Ministry of Defense, in recent months, more than a dozen satellites in the sky have adjusted their direction and locked their lenses on Japanese soil, and this number is still increasing.
More and more countries are paying more attention to this small island nation, and in the last awakening incident alone, the police and police caught many foreign spies whose identities were exposed.
But everything before can still only be regarded as a small fight, because those interests are too little.
All countries know that if one country makes a move, the others will follow, and the result is that this small piece of cake is simply not enough.
But this incident is different, with such a large range of mountains, it is estimated that the number of monsters is as high as hundreds of thousands, and no one can give up this piece of fat.
You must know that this is an extraordinary creature, no matter how weak it is, it is still an extraordinary creature, and if you study them, you may be able to crack the secret of the transcendent.
No one can resist such a temptation, let alone the number of hundreds of thousands this time, no matter how many countries divide it, they don't have to worry about grabbing the cake.
From a few minutes past 0:00 Tokyo time, almost less than half an hour after the yokai wave appeared, the United States took the lead in proposing to Japan that it could send troops to help suppress it.
Less than an hour later, the United Nations made another request to Japan, this time with dozens of countries jointly proposing to send peacekeeping troops to help Japan suppress the yokai.
This is the first time that the Cabinet and the Prime Minister's Office have known that the United Nations can be so efficient.
Of course, although the prime minister was moved to thank their mother, the Japanese government finally declined everyone's kindness.
However, in order to thank everyone for their touching actions, they allowed some countries to send researchers to Japan to form a joint research institute.
