Chapter 9, Discussion about Zombies
Generally speaking, the Japanese are a nation that is accustomed to planning in advance and executing in a step-by-step manner. Even for emergencies such as tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes, fires or riots, various departments have already prepared piles of emergency plan booklets for easy use at any time.
The problem is that no matter how prepared the experts are, they cannot think of formulating an emergency plan for the zombie crisis in advance.
Therefore, when the zombie craze broke out, those rigid-minded Japanese political figures could only treat it as a riot in the first place... I have to say that this is really a helpless tragedy.
——The situation that TV programs try to instill in the audience is obviously very different from the actual situation.
Although most governments, when a devastating crisis strikes, the first thing they do is to fool the people. But the problem is that anyone who has watched any zombie horror movie can clearly know that the city is now being sieged by zombies and the end of the world is coming!
However, the Japanese TV news still pretended to be dumbfounded and insisted that this was "just" a "riot"? ? ! ! !
Sigh... No wonder the Japanese political circles have become more mixed up over the years. They are obviously a bunch of idiots who can't even tell lies!
"... Regarding the riots that are currently occurring frequently in various places, the government has begun to discuss emergency countermeasures. However, when it comes to dispatching the Self-Defense Forces to maintain law and order, both the ruling and opposition parties have expressed that they must handle it carefully... The latest government plan is not yet clear..."< br>
In a location that looks like a park, a beautiful female reporter wearing a professional OL outfit is holding a microphone and talking, "...According to estimates, the number of victims in Saitama Prefecture has exceeded 10,000. , the government declared the current situation to be an emergency..."
However, her calmness and composure could only be maintained until this moment - the next moment, the cruel reality was exposed in front of the TV cameras!
"...Ah! Shot! The police finally opened fire! What on earth were they shooting at?! (Two gunshots rang out, hitting two twisting body bags) Ahhhh! No! No! Come!
The camera lens suddenly began to shake and become chaotic, and eventually disappeared completely. After a burst of snowflake screens and zizzing sounds, the picture reappeared.
"...Okay...there seems to be something wrong. Now...I will now turn back to the studio to continue reporting for you. According to intelligence, it is very dangerous to be outdoors at the moment. Please try not to go out as much as possible. After the broadcast resumes, it will be resumed immediately. Let reporters from Xujing send back live reports.”
The two anchors in the studio spoke a few words incoherently, then hastily ended the news program and replaced it with music and advertisements.
——Oh, what a bunch of idiots who can’t even fool people. Don’t you know how to randomly piece together an interview scene in the studio? To actually send reporters deep into the zombie outbreak area while thinking about *********... It's really speechless.
In short, everyone at Fujimi Academy expressed unusual confusion and indignation after watching the above program.
"...Is that all there is!?" Takashi Komuro slammed his fist on the concrete floor and cursed bitterly, "...Why don't you tell the truth?!"
"...Maybe I'm afraid of causing panic." Saya Takagi, with tears in her eyes, raised her head from Teacher Shizuka's big breasts and said.
——Takagi Saya, who recovered from a mental breakdown, quickly returned to her old ways and began to show off her high IQ as a "genius".
"...At this time?" Miyamoto Rei felt a little strange - the city is already being sieged by zombies, can people still stay calm?
"...Because of this time! Fear is the root of chaos. Chaos will lead to the collapse of order, and once order collapses, how can we fight against these moving corpses?" Saya Takagi pushed the bridge of her nose that had just been removed from her pocket. Pulling out the spare glasses, she said with a full face of arrogance - Well, judging from the age, I really don't know if she was in COS, Colonel Chu Xuan, or if Colonel Chu Xuan was imitating this pink-haired twin-tailed little tsundere?
At this time, Mr. Onikawa, who was operating the TV, changed the channel again and received some international news: "...The current abnormal situation has spread throughout the United States, and there seems to be no sign of being controlled for the time being. The United States The head of government has abandoned the White House and plans to transfer government functions to aircraft carriers at sea. There are also speculations that this is a preparatory measure for the use of tactical nuclear weapons..."
"...In addition, the current communication links in Moscow have been interrupted, a fire broke out in Beijing, London still maintains a certain degree of law and order, and thugs are rampant in Paris and Rome (the strange thing is that these "thugs" all look like zombies), and the streets is under martial law..."
——The TV program only played up to this point, and then the signal completely lost with a "pop" sound. It seemed that the TV signal tower was also finished.
But even so, everyone has already seen a purgatory-like doomsday world.
The survivors, who originally thought this was just a small regional disaster, suddenly suffered another mental breakdown.
"...How could it be...when I browsed the Internet in the morning, nothing happened!" Hirano Toda said in disbelief.
"...I can't believe it! Just a few short hours later, the whole world has become like this!" Miyamoto Rei also looked lost, grabbing her hair in pain, "...there should still be absolute safety place? The world will definitely recover soon..."
"...Impossible!"
Wang Qiu and Takagi Saya both spoke at the same time, breaking Rei Miyamoto's illusions. Then, the two exchanged glances with each other, and Takagi Saya, who got the hint, took the lead to speak "BaraBara" - from the Spanish Flu in 1918, which infected more than 600 million people and killed 50 million people, all the way Talking about the Black Death that killed one-third of Europeans in the Middle Ages... Finally, we came to a cruel conclusion: when there is no cure, the plague will not subside until almost all the living people die. Because there is no one left to infect!
But the zombie crisis is not an ordinary plague. The dead will still move and attack the living - so the spread of zombies cannot be stopped at all!
The only thing that can be expected is that it is spring now and the weather will gradually get hotter soon. In a few dozen days, when the zombies have rotted to the point where only their bones are left, they should not be moving, and the zombie crisis will naturally disappear. ——This is the point of view put forward by teacher Shizuka Marikawa.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"...The body rots naturally? Tsk, tsk, I think it would be better for you not to have such daydreams..."
Kogawa Kofu mercilessly complained that although he has never experienced the zombie apocalypse, he has definitely had a lot of weird and bizarre adventure experiences, so he knows that there are very few big problems in the world that can be easily solved. Disaster, "...Although you think these corpses are dead, have you ever seen dead people moving around and attacking humans? They are probably not really dead, but have turned into another kind of creature... ”
"...Another creature? Uh, like the Chinese Cordyceps sinensis?" Teacher Shizuka Marikawa interrupted.
"...It can be described like this! In short, there are many possible reasons for the outbreak of this zombie crisis. We must understand its essence before we can come up with countermeasures." Doraemon also raised his head from the satellite screen, "...magic, technology, curse, virus..."
"...Magic? Haha, how could there be such a thing? Haven't you graduated from kindergarten yet?"
The pink-haired tsundere with twin tails, Saya Takagi, smiled disdainfully, but after just laughing a few times, she seemed to have thought of something, and she couldn't laugh anymore, "...Uh, um... Doraemon, it seems like you have been Have you been to the Wizarding World? ”
"...Yes, they are all people who have broken through the demon world and defeated the demon king... Gao Cheng, don't say anything unscientific anymore - even the living dead have appeared here, and a few magicians have appeared. There’s nothing surprising about that!”
Wang Qiuye finally spoke, "...you may have seen horror movies about zombies, and you should know that even zombies that look similar can have many causes of outbreaks - if it is a zombie craze caused by viruses or bacteria , then naturally we should use scientific Treat it with an attitude. If the outbreak of Death Apostles is caused by magicians, magic rituals, or the arrival of evil gods, then naturally you have to change your thinking accordingly... Well, by the way, is there a Fuyuki City in your side of Japan? (See? "Holy Grail War")"
Regarding this seemingly puzzling question, teachers and students at Fujimi Academy held an urgent discussion and the result was: I don’t know!
There is no way, even Chinese geography teachers cannot accurately report the names of more than 2,000 counties and cities in China at any time. By the same token, ordinary Japanese people cannot fully understand the geography of their country - as of 2008, that is, July 1, 2008, the total number of cities in Japan according to official statistics was 783... Do you think so? Can any ordinary Japanese high school student memorize all the place names of so many cities?
And in the small observatory at their feet, they could not find any more accurate map of Japan.
What's more, Japan's underlying administrative divisions change frequently. Even if there was a Fuyuki City in a certain area, it may have changed its name, or even been revoked, downgraded to a town, or merged with other cities—— After the Japanese bubble economy burst, many economic The city, which is suffering from economic depression, industrial collapse, and massive population loss, has all been destroyed in this way... Therefore, as to whether there was a Fuyuki City in Japan here, they can only wait until they find some new and old versions of Japanese maps. Only after comparison can the confirmation be truly completed.
"...Hey, we can't even confirm whether there is Fuyuki City, so the clock tower in London is probably unheard of for ordinary Japanese. It seems that the possibility of overlap with the Xingyue world cannot be ruled out. Maybe some crazy magician made a wish with the Holy Grail..."
(In "Holy Grail War", the father of Emiya Kiritsugu, one of the male protagonists, once created a zombie craze, although it was limited to a small island.)
Wang Qiu took out a small notebook and recorded it with a ballpoint pen, "...Is there an Academy City with a population of 2.3 million and super-developed technology next to Tokyo here? Are you sure? Okay, "A Certain Magical Index" ( The world of "Resident Evil" can also be ruled out... The zombie outbreak situation in the world of "Resident Evil" is obviously completely different from here, and the same It can be ruled out. There is also a more mysterious world of "Fake Story"... Well, I guess everyone at Fujimi Academy will not know a local lolita scumbag high school student named Araragi Koyomi, so there is no way for the time being. Exclude..." (In a certain world line of "Fake Story", there is also a zombie apocalypse caused by the vampire "Heart of the Blade".)
