Chapter 66: No one is a fuel-efficient lamp
"...The plot character Koichi Zito died of acute radiation sickness caused by excessive nuclear radiation and received 1,500 reward points... Strangely, the shelter in the clouds did not collapse in the nuclear explosion, and there was still far enough food and drinking water left for them. Far from exhausted, what’s going on with this acute radiation sickness?”
Reading the bonus points displayed on the "Book of Time Travel", Wang Qiu couldn't help but feel a little confused, "...Although Tokyo, more than a hundred kilometers away, was indeed hit by a nuclear bomb, it should be 200,000 A small nuclear warhead with a yield of less than a ton, so the environmental radiation here is not serious! I just measured it with a Geiger counter, and it was only about 1.1 microsievert! Logically speaking, I shouldn’t get sick so quickly! ”
"...Wang Qiujun, we are on the ground, but he is in the sky! In addition, his cloud happened to float dozens of kilometers toward Tokyo, and as a result, it entered the range of radioactive contamination - a large amount of radioactive ash kicked up by the mushroom cloud , it fell on their heads like snow..."
At the same time, Doraemon, who was also confused, had used his magical props to go back in time and analyzed the answer, "... there is only such a small place in the refuge on the clouds, and there is nowhere to hide... …Now, everyone up there is probably almost dead!”
As he said this, he showed a photo of the scene secretly taken by a reconnaissance robot. He saw that the originally white and clean cloud shelter had been covered with a thick layer of "ash" that shone with metallic luster, and was vaguely still. It can be seen that several "humanoids" with peeling skin and ulcerated bodies and bloody flesh are struggling... At first glance, they are really more ferocious and terrifying than the zombies wandering on the street...
After seeing the tragic situation of that group of refugees, all the travelers present couldn't help but fell silent - although everyone hated these "democratic fools" for causing trouble and repaying kindness with enmity, now they were being deceived by Teacher Ziteng into this dead end. It is also the fault of oneself, and one cannot blame others for setting up a trap. But after I really learned that they were dead, my mood was not as happy as I imagined. Instead, I felt vaguely sad and heavy...
"...Speaking of which, this teacher Ziteng seems to be a powerful person! He is obviously alone, with no stronghold or supplies, no direct relatives, and no fighting skills, but he can just rely on his words to do this. The zombie apocalypse is causing chaos..."
After a moment of silence, Ma Tong was the first to sigh, "...If you meet a poor leader like Gorbachev who has no responsibility at all, maybe he can really seize power! However, even Soichiro Takagi, It seems not as tough as we thought..."
"...Indeed, Koichi Zito is not a fool. He has the keen intuition of a politician, knows how to use all means to increase his own strength, and is better at stepping on others' shoulders to fight for power and status - he is both insidious and daring, yet reckless, feeling Quite like those crazy Japanese army staff officers in the Showa era. Moreover, what he did at the Takagi family seemed to be seeking death, but it was actually something he relied on."
Wang Qiu nodded and replied, "...The reason why he dared to be so arrogant, to stand on the front desk at someone else's home stadium, and to directly challenge Takagi Soichiro in the Takagi family's mansion, on the one hand, is certainly an occupational disease of politicians' thinking, but on the other hand, On the one hand, it is also clear that the Gaocheng family is strong on the outside and cadre on the inside - times have changed. Things have changed. Although the Takagi family was once the lord of the vassal state and was always advertised as the "queen of the samurai family", after all, the members of the "Concerned for the Country Isshinkai" are no longer traditional samurai whose life is loyalty and killing is their profession. They are 'free citizens of a democratic society' like those refugees!
Therefore, although they already had weapons in their hands, the members of the "Concerned for the Country" at that time did not really have the heart of a warrior. They would be put in a dilemma by a few sophistical words, and would shrink from the roar of the people, but they Forgetting that the barrel of a gun is the best in the world... Even though Koichi Koichi took the lead in openly provoking the Takagi family and seemed to be seeking death, he was actually very safe. As long as he doesn't really start a fight, the Gaocheng family will not dare to fire at will to suppress him. However, he can use his glorious identity as a 'public opinion representative' and use hundreds of refugees as bargaining chips to negotiate with the people in power of the Gaocheng family in order to gain a place in the ruling class - if he is the chief, That's naturally better.
In fact, I'm afraid he never really thought about pulling people out of the Gaocheng family to work alone - because he lost contact with the family power and was completely alone. Even if he fooled a bunch of guys, they were just a group of very powerful people. The unreliable gangster proletarian will probably not be taken seriously by Zito, a rich second generation - he just wants to grab some chips to make a deal with the Gaocheng family and improve his status!
However, this guy who was crazy for power did not notice at all that what he did actually coincided with some of Takagi Soichiro's ideas, and he even helped the Takagi family eliminate a big trouble, allowing Souichiro Takagi doesn’t have to get his hands dirty..."
"...So, Mr. Gao Cheng's restraint and tolerance at that time were actually disguised?" Ma Tong took a breath.
"...I can't say that completely! It can only be regarded as taking advantage of this opportunity to push the boat..." Wang Qiu replied, "...it took me a long time to understand why he acted so contradictory: on the one hand, he seemed very contradictory. He is so weak that he allows those idiots to yell and yell; on the other hand, he stands firm and does not make any substantive concessions at all... Now it seems that Mr. Gao Cheng has probably had the idea of shedding the burden a long time ago..."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
——At the beginning of the zombie crisis, in line with the inertia and humanitarian spirit of peace times, the "Concerned for the Country" took the initiative to take in some citizens who had taken refuge. I originally thought I could get some labor force, but I soon discovered that these pampered guys are basically a burden: they still fully cling to the old ideas of the past, being free and loose, and despising right-wing violent groups. Although they are completely dependent on the security protection and food supply of the "Concerned for the Country", they refuse to obey the orders of the Gaocheng family... which is equivalent to raising a group of "junk people", or idlers.
After seeing such a situation, Gao Cheng and his wife must have already deeply regretted it. Therefore, since the arrival of Doraemon and his team, the "Concern for the Country" has basically stopped actively searching for and rescuing survivors - it's not a thankless effort to save people, so why bother?
But the problem is, once you start something, you just can't stop. Now that the Gaocheng family has taken in the first batch of refugee citizens, as long as there is room in the courtyard, it is embarrassing to turn away the refugees who fled later - after all, they are fellow villagers, and the Gaocheng couple cannot open this door at all, and The cohesion of modern social groups is incomparable to that of ancient feudal lords and warriors. As long as people's hearts are scattered, the team will not be able to lead...
What's even more terrible is that due to the sharp increase in firepower of the "Concerned for the Country One Heart" crusade team, they repeatedly raided and eliminated tens of thousands of zombies. As a result, the road to Gaocheng's house quickly became safe and unobstructed, and nearby survivors spontaneously rushed to the house. came to seek refuge, and the level of chaos inside the Takagi family's mansion also increased with time - even Takagi Soichiro, the leader of the Yakuza, had never commanded more than two hundred younger brothers. Not to mention these ordinary people who lack discipline... Simply being responsible for the camping of thousands of refugees is enough to make most organizers with average leadership levels lose sight of the other: an ordinary tour guide can usually take ten tourists, which is good. If you are a rookie tour guide, you cannot even manage ten tourists...
Especially in today's apocalyptic world, where zombies may attack at any time, the larger the team with a large number of personnel and loose discipline, the easier it is for chaos to break out. Mrs. Yuriko Takagi was able to maintain it for two days with dozens of old, weak, women and children. The situation is already very difficult.
Not to mention that a considerable number of citizens who had taken refuge had no consciousness of being refugees and actually bossed around the people of the Gao Cheng family and treated them like waiters... Obviously, such excessive demands could not be satisfied, so these The teases, who were as thick-skinned as city walls, started yelling and fussing, as if the Gaocheng family owed them a huge debt or had something huge to do to them.
Let me ask, in the face of such a group of guys who are ungrateful, have no self-awareness, and even love to commit suicide, do you dare to use them as one of your own? Be careful that the guy assigned to cook puts poison in the food, and the guy assigned to patrol drags his gun and runs away - this is still a small matter, I'm afraid he will kill a few of his own people before leaving! The person who was forced to take charge of the night watch directly removed the barriers and let the zombies in!
In such an obvious situation, Gao Cheng and his wife quickly saw the above-mentioned hidden dangers, but they suffered from the lack of appropriate countermeasures - in order to maintain the leader's own image, they could not ruthlessly drive out the survivors who had taken refuge at home. Nor can we lead the team away irresponsibly. Leaving the survivors to fend for themselves... If this guy Wisteria hadn't jumped out to seek death, the refugees would have been crying and dragging the trousers of the members of the "Concerned for the Country" members and not letting go, which made many people feel pity, and Highlighting the ruthlessness of Gao Cheng and his wife...
Once such a scene occurs, it will greatly damage the cohesion of the team - who can guarantee that they will not be left to die next?
However, Teacher Ziteng's attempt to coerce the refugees and challenge the "Concerned for the Country" gave Gao Cheng and his wife a perfect opportunity to get rid of their burdens and solve hidden dangers - so they could use Ziteng to do "bad things". "Separation of assets" and better military and simpler administration:
First, he allowed these idiots to jump out and make a big fuss without knowing the current affairs, which disgusted all the members of the "Concerned for the Country" to death, so that they had no mercy for these survivors who repaid kindness with hatred. Then he unified his thinking towards his own people: It’s not that I, Souichiro Takagi, is so hard-hearted that he doesn’t care about the lives of the citizens and walks away on his own. It’s that these funny guys are too desperate for death. They are not grateful at all for being saved by us. Instead, they want us to Working like a cow or a horse, I still take it for granted... I really can't take care of such an old man. If any of you are willing to stay, just go and keep company with them!
——So, everyone unanimously stated that they had already done their best to benevolent and righteous, and they should really leave these "junk people" behind so that they could travel lightly. Even if there are some people who have the feelings of the Holy Mother, they are decisively suppressed by their parents, elders or relatives... In this way, Takagi Souichiro not only loses the name of benevolence and justice, but also can carry out the actual purge, and the infamy, burden and resentment are all eliminated. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Hiroshi Purple Fuji took it upon himself? Moreover, from a dark perspective, if there is a traitor within the "Concerned for the Country" who colludes with Hiroshi Hiroshi, they can also take the opportunity to be exposed...
By this time, even if the panicked "democracy fighters" come over to cry and hug their legs, there probably won't be many armed personnel willing to protect them. Not to mention that Koichi Wisteria, whose plan failed and was riding a tiger, had to use more violent words to offend the "Concerned for the Country One Heart Association" to death in order to prevent those fools from betraying him on the spot... and thus became unwilling to do so. He cooperated closely with Gao Cheng and his wife to complete the division of "non-performing assets".
——In fact, when the furious Mr. Wisteria led people to block the door, even if Doraemon did not come forward, Takagi Souichiro was able to calm the situation smoothly: as long as he first used non-lethal weapons such as stun guns or electric batons to kill the leading Wisteria. Hao Yi knocked him unconscious and frightened the remaining teasers at the same time; After all the people go out, throw them a few cold weapons such as swords for self-defense... This can not only highlight the shamelessness, selfishness and ugliness of the other party; it can also show your own high moral integrity and open-mindedness, thereby showing Show the style of a qualified leader...

Closer to home, Wang Qiu, Ma Tong and Doraemon certainly discussed this struggle full of intrigues and intrigues with great interest and emotion. But Nobita Nobita and several other elementary school students were already turned away after hearing this.
Moreover, in the context of a globally destructive nuclear war, the small conspiracies within the above-mentioned survivor groups are even less worth mentioning.
More importantly, this has no direct bearing on the vital interests of the time travellers.
So, after chatting some gossip, Ma Tong brought up what she was most concerned about.
"... Ziteng's death further increased my total points to 46,000 reward points. It seems that I am not far away from the 50,000 points that will end the game... But the problem is that there are no places in the plot where I can increase points. It’s almost finished! Where can I get the remaining 4,000 points?
Moreover, after careful searching in the past few days, the bed owner's western district is almost exhausted. It may be difficult to collect the huge sum of 280 billion yen that Doraemon needs in a short time... What we will do next What should we do? Do we have to move to other cities? In this regard, classmate Wang Qiu, who has become more and more imaginative recently, immediately came up with a very imaginative "golden idea" - "...Don't worry, Senior Sister Ma Tong, regarding the two issues you are worried about, I just had a great idea, maybe I can kill two birds with one stone and solve them all at once! Doraemon! Have you brought your [Space Lifeboat]? Please take it out quickly! Let’s seize the time and go to the universe...”
