Chapter 6 Chapter 4 Waiting for Dawn

Stopping the spoon digging cantaloupe in his hand, Junji Midorikawa was confirming what caused the danger signals in the depths of his brain to keep ringing, but no relevant information was directly obtained by hearing or vision, and the place was in an ordinary private house. It was an ordinary Japanese room, although the girl in front of her was not very ordinary, and this girl was staring at the tutor with a puzzled expression. "What's the matter, coach? Don't you like cantaloupe?" "I have a habit of saving my favorite things for last." After being perfunctory, Junji put the spoon back on the plate and stood up. Suddenly there was a sound of running from the stairs, and Yaxiang's mother hurriedly opened the door.

"Yaxiang, something is wrong. The TV is broadcasting temporary news, and a group of ferocious rats are running around on Meiji Avenue. I heard that they seem to be coming here." "mouse……?" Yaxiang was speechless, Junsi rushed out of the Japanese room without saying a word, the danger signal in his brain seemed to hit his heart violently in a direction, his steps down the stairs did not make a sound, he opened the door after reaching the entrance and looked around All around, a wave of miasma suddenly hit from afar, almost making Junsi breathless. Yaxiang, who went downstairs with him, said:

"I hate rats, about as much as exams and drunks." "No one ever asked you what you thought of mice." Junji said a joke that couldn't ease the atmosphere with a nervous mood, and suddenly a plate containing cantaloupe appeared in front of his eyes. "Since it's all been cut, finish it, coach. It would be a waste to be eaten up by those rats." "Thanks." After thanking him softly, Chun Si picked up a spoon and dug a piece of fruit pulp into his mouth, but at this moment he was not in the mood to taste the delicious food, so he swallowed it in one gulp.

The deep and long earth chime gradually approached, and the unpleasant feeling like a loud rumbling sound invaded the sense of hearing in less than ten seconds. Thousands of gray mice gathered in front of the door of Hanamura's house, screaming continuously. The sound, swarms of rats seeped into the house through the cracks in the door like liquid, flooding the entire floor. "Hurry up to the second floor, Yaxiang." Chun Si couldn't take his eyes off the rats for a moment, because if one was accidentally attacked by the rats, it was impossible to be unscathed, as long as he was bitten, the blood-sucking virus in Chun Si's body would be transferred to the rats. On his body, if this mouse attacks ordinary humans, the blood-sucking virus will spread endlessly, maybe this is the first step in the beginning of the nightmare.

"Let me help too, coach." "Don't you hate mice?" "It's annoying, that's why we have to deal with them." It makes sense in theory, but it's a little different from the general impression. "Have you seen the movie 'Vampire'?" "No." "That one is a masterpiece of vampire movies. Starring Klaus Kinski, I recommend you to see it." That movie was about how the appearance of the vampire Nosferado caused the town to be invaded by rats and caused the plague to rage in the town. The vampires in the film could manipulate the mice. Although Junji himself was a vampire, he did not manipulate The mouse's ability, uncle and Yaxiang's body does not have that kind of ability. Junji thinks that maybe there is a character with the same power as Nosferardu behind this commotion. It was accidental.

Under Junsi's instructions, everyone locked all the windows on the first floor and the kitchen door, and only opened the door of the entrance. Instead of letting them break all the windows and invade in one fell swoop, it is better to limit the "front line" to one place. It is the result of considering tactics. The mice screamed strangely, and all their aggressive eyes were focused on Junji, the battle was about to begin. "Everyone is a living creature on the earth, let's get along well. But it seems useless to talk to them so much." "Even though we are borrowing, we should have the right to choose our neighbors."

"Yes, the farther away the troublesome neighbors are, the better." From the corner of Chunsi's eyes, he saw the household fire extinguisher on the side, and a new idea popped up in his mind. He instructed Yaxiang to bring him the fire extinguisher, and at the same time threw aside the weapon that he had been holding all the time, that is, the cleaning tool. mop. The mice started to move. Junsi, who was holding a fire extinguisher, first kicked out the three or four mice that jumped up, and then the rats launched a second wave of offensive that was bigger than before. Pull out the fire extinguisher's safety pin.

The white foam from the fire extinguisher kept spraying the mice. The mice screamed in anger and confusion, and began to waver, and even stopped moving forward. A group of mice screamed full of momentum and prepared to move forward again, but because they were afraid of the spray of the fire extinguisher The strong foam came out and retreated, leaving only the threatening sound that filled the entire hallway. Yaxiang, who squinted her eyes, also grabbed the mop in her hand, and knocked down the two or three mice that jumped up full of foam. land. At this time, the scenery outside the window was dyed red, the glass kept vibrating like an electric shock, and there was a cry of "Fire!" The gas came into contact with the explosion caused by the burning cigarette. I don't know if it was due to the relationship between the flame and the sound from the explosion. The rats began to retreat. Rather than retreating, it was more like the rats gave up dispersing their attacks and regrouped into a whole group. group.

About five minutes later, Junji made the judgment that the Hanamura family should be safe, and left a very ordinary greeting of "Thank you for the cantaloupe, then I will take my leave." Find out your shoes and put them on, then walk out of the gate of Hanamura's house across the foam pool. "Dad, Mom, I'll go out too." In the Mood for Love, the female college student ran towards the tutor with a mop in her hand. She has been watching the heroic posture of the two young men fighting. The parents clapping behind her panickedly stopped her. Only her daughter's clothes were covered with foam. The sneakers answer:

"I'm the daughter you two brought up with one hand. How could I do bad things, trust me!" Father nodded emotionally. "That's right, if you don't believe your words, doesn't it mean that you don't believe us who raised you? Go ahead, my daughter. If something happens to you, Dad will be responsible for helping you deal with the aftermath." "What are you talking about, the child's father!" Mother protested: "Listen up, Yaxiang. If you accidentally lose your life, even if you win, it means nothing. Only by surviving is the real victory. You must come back safely, okay?"

"Trust your daughter, then I'll go!" The parents who took the mop watched the daughter who left the house briskly. After a while, the mother suddenly thought of something. "Speaking of which, the child's father." "What's the matter, mother?" "That tutor should be a staff member of the art gallery?" "It seems to be a curator or something." "Is it necessary for the people in the museum to actively participate in the rodent eradication operation? Wouldn't it be better to hand it over to the police or the Self-Defense Force?" The mother tilted her head to one side, and the father nodded as if something happened, and said with a narrator's expression: "That's what I thought. Maybe the art museum's work is just a disguise. His real identity is a secret intelligence agent. How about my reasoning?" "Will the secret agent let Yaxiang go with him?" "Yaxiang must be working part-time, an assistant to an intelligence officer or something." "Is there such a part-time job?" Mother asked a very constructive question. "Having said that, if my son-in-law is engaged in such a dangerous industry, it would be quite troublesome. I don't know if he thinks the work in the restaurant is too ordinary." "Why do you think that I won't let Yaxiang get married after being so far away? Yaxiang made an appointment with me when she was two years old. She said she would stay by Dad's side for the rest of her life." "I should have made the same promise with my father when I was young, but I forgot it when I married you." ...The scene changed, and Junji, who was running on the night path, saw a notice on the wall at the corner. "Do not dump garbage at night to avoid attracting rats and wild cats, please abide by it." Although he shouldn't be laughing at this time, Junji couldn't help but smile wryly. If he obeyed these warning signs obediently, maybe a disaster like tonight wouldn't happen. He couldn't rule out this possibility. Keep it in mind. It takes a lot of time to leave Meiji Avenue. The house where the gas explosion occurred is covered with dust. There are people who are eager to evacuate, and there are people who are completely on the sidelines. The whole street is full of dead rats, and bicycles and ladies' cars are scattered. On the ground, there was a man holding a metal bat in his right hand and the corpse of a mouse in his left hand, who kept roaring, and the sound of a child crying from nowhere. Masako, who knew the roads nearby, walked in front of Junji. They wanted to pass through Meiji Avenue as soon as possible, but they couldn't knock all the people in front of them away, so they left Meiji Avenue until eleven o'clock in the evening, and they were greeted by an ominous noisy and chaotic street. Junji and Masaka, who were walking on the sidewalk, heard a sound of brakes, and a BMW stopped beside them. After the window next to the driver's seat was lowered, the driver stuck his face and broom out of the window. "Hey, you two young men, how are you?" The person who spoke was actually the head of the CRS Japan branch. "It's almost exhausted." "Choose the right moment to be called the party of justice. Hurry up, get in the car, get in the car." Of course, this BMW is not my uncle's own, and there is no need to ask. It must have been "borrowed" by my uncle from the side of the road during the chaos. "Anyway, mice don't know how to drive BMWs. Cherishing resources and the environment is the real civilization." I don't know if the BMW being driven by his uncle had the same idea, but after Junji and Masaka got into the car, the BMW, which seemed to have no complaints on the surface, set off in the direction where the rats gathered. This ride is really not comfortable, the tires are not covered with asphalt, but the road paved with blood and mucus fur, along the road, abandoned cars form a roadblock, sirens from all around The noise was caused by the patrol cars and fire trucks that were unable to move. The sound from the loudspeakers became inexplicably blurred, which aroused people's uneasiness even more. "Let's go as far as we can go. I want to know where the rats are headed. Sometimes even if you know that there is a crisis ahead, you still have to be brave and overcome obstacles." Junji, who was sitting in the back seat, narrowed his eyes slightly and asked: "Then who is going to go through the thorns and thorns?" "Of course a young man who is not afraid of anything." "That certainly doesn't refer to me, because I'm a timid young man." "Excessive modesty will only limit yourself. You have to hold your head up and say, 'Japan's future is in my hands!' Ah." "I have no interest in Japan." Junji used this sentence to get rid of his uncle's instigation. Strange turmoil fills Tokyo late at night, with voices of people, rats, raging fire, sirens, police sirens and explosions. However, this does not mean that Tokyo is full of firepower. The wail of the city. "In short, everything has to wait for the sun to come out. Even if it is called the city that never sleeps, it is lit by electric lights after all." The dark night deepens the uneasiness and fear in people's hearts. No matter how much a person likes the darkness and tranquility of the night, as long as he hears someone around him crying "It's so dark, so scary", he will still feel panicked. Reports related to the chaos in Tokyo were broadcast, but they were limited to the current situation and people's reactions, and there was no more in-depth content other than that. Putting aside BMW's sincerity and hard work, the current speed is really not fast. In order to calm this anxiety, the three people in the car began to exchange information with each other. "The CRS headquarters can't ignore it anymore, and expressed their willingness to take financial support." "That's good, but is it safe? Is it okay to completely trust the CRS headquarters?" "Wait, what are you talking about, Junji?" "I'm not wrong, even the Japanese branch of CRS has a traitor named Hongjin." "Ok……" After a while of silence, the uncle was uncharacteristic this time. He didn't immediately use his three-inch tongue to refute his nephew, but just kept staring ahead with the steering wheel in his hand. "Perhaps calling Hirotsu a traitor is a little too much. All in all, don't wishful thinking that it would be better for all the vampires in the world to be kind to us... I said a lot of self-righteous words, sorry." "What's the matter, why are you being polite now?" Uncle smiled wryly and stepped on the brakes at the same time. A wall of people and cars appeared in front of the car. The hard-working BMW was blocked abruptly. The three had no choice but to get out of the car and walk instead. The screams and the smoke everywhere made it impossible to grasp the situation. "Did you see anything, Yaxiang?" "Impossible, I am twenty centimeters shorter than the coach." "I can't help it, ride on my shoulders, I'll lift you up." Junji squatted down and let Yaxiang's legs straddle his shoulders. "Hey, don't press my face, don't pull my ears, don't strangle my neck!" On the shoulders of the nagging tutor, Yaxiang finally stabilized her body. "How about it, can you see it?" "The coffee shop on the right oblique, the curtains are of really bad taste." "Where are you looking!" Although there were some small incidents in the middle, Yaxiang finally completed the reconnaissance mission, and she immediately reported to another man that a confrontation between the rat group and the mobile team occurred in the east exit square of Shibuya Station. It sounds like a confrontation, but the actual situation But the mice continued to advance, and the mobile team could only gradually move the defense line back. "It seems that it is impossible to use force to stop the rats. If so, we should just lure them all to the campus of Kanto University." "Is there a way to catch them all when you get there?" "Of course not. It's just that if they run into the campus and make a scene, maybe the final exam can be cancelled." Should it be said that this is the acme of realism?Because Yaxiang was still resisting on his shoulders, the helpless Junji couldn't even shrug his shoulders. When he wanted to put Yaxiang back on the ground... "Look, it's a bat!" Yaxiang stretched out her finger and pointed to a corner of the night sky. Uncle and Junsi hurriedly looked in the direction she pointed. A black shadow that seemed to be attached to the night sky was slowly waving its wings and flying across the bungalows. The shadow disappeared from the sight of the vampires and disappeared into the night. "uncle……" "Ok……" The impact of this black shadow on them is definitely not small. "It seems that the other party's vampire is more orthodox than ours. It completely fits the existing image. Apart from bats and mice, it probably even has garlic and crosses... It's a model of fantasy novels." This time Junsi really shrugged, the midnight cold wind brushed his cheeks, Yaxiang returned to the ground and stared at the two men with serious expressions, she clapped her hands suddenly, it seemed that she had thought of something. "Coach, coach, since the other party follows the tradition so much, let's resolve the incident along this route." "Cross with holy water?" Junji didn't smile, because he felt that what Yaxiang said was quite reasonable. He turned to look at his uncle. The head of the CRS Japan branch seemed to be thinking about other things instead of bats. "Even if we try our best to wipe out the rat population, as long as they disperse and run into the sewer, there is nothing we can do. From the government's point of view, we should choose to put the underground aside first and give priority to remediation of the ground." Uncle made a clear prediction, and Junji, who nodded, also clearly felt that the different world under the huge city where he lived was gradually expanding. "This should result in a temporary closure of the underground and subway, although that alone would be enough to cause significant damage to the economy." "It's not just about the economy." Uncle stroked the beard on his lips. As the son of a Japanese trader living in Shanghai, China, Uncle is a man who has seen all kinds of turmoil and transformation with his own eyes. Maybe tonight's incident is not enough to be called a crisis for him. . "However, those things are left to the government to worry about. It's not something we should intervene in. The vampires just need to keep their duties and act quietly and secretly." This sentence seems to be said to myself. As Yaxiang observed before, the rat swarm had already invaded the Shibuya area. Although the mobile team had already set up a wall made of vehicles in the east exit of Shibuya Station, in front of the huge gray waves formed by the large number of rats, the mobile The team could only slowly sink into the huge waves, and the information center of the Metropolitan Police Department was full of anxiety. "What the hell is going on! This scale is no joke!" "It must be the result of global warming, and it must be the result of global warming." "Is this a problem that can be easily solved with greenhouse!" Even if it is a joke, it lacks a sense of humor. The mice who are not afraid of tear gas bombs are continuing to advance unilaterally. Without the approval to use flame throwers, the mobile team can only keep retreating. In the office of the first search section, detective Oiwa watched the TV news with a moved face. "In any case, things have turned out like this, and we, the police, can't get involved." "Do you want the Tangtang Self-Defense Force to do the work of eradicating rats?" Officer Mizorogi's words were full of malice. "Hmph, the Self-Defense Forces simply save the money they spent on supersonic fighter jets and buy a million tons of rodenticide instead." "Compared with fighter jets, which one is cheaper?" Hearing this answer, Police Officer Mizorogi suddenly lost his temper, completely forgetting that he was the one who said the joke first, and he yelled at Detective Oiwa: "If you have time to make such silly jokes, hurry up and collect information for me. There is no shortcut to solve the case, you can only search step by step!" After being reprimanded by his boss, Detective Oiwa ran out of the office as fast as he could, and Officer Mizorogi followed suit, as if wanting to lead the way. The two arrived at Shibuya East Exit in a patrol car. Detective Oiwa in the car tried to explain what happened just now. gaffe. "To be honest, there is no textbook on how to deal with a large number of rats." "You can't do anything without textbooks! The younger generation who only care about test scores is really useless." "That's not the point of the question." Detective Oiwa, who rarely put on a straight face, suddenly moved his eyes, and then even his expression changed. Officer Mizorogi, who sensed the change in his subordinates, also followed his gaze. Two men and a woman appeared in front of him, Mizorogi The police officer has an impression of these three faces, which are the strange trio that appeared in the farewell ceremony of Murao's house. "Why do those guys appear in this kind of place?" "Could you live nearby?" "Is that the only conclusion you have? I think the three of them are very suspicious." The police officer opened his nostrils unconsciously, and detective Oiwa, who didn't pay much attention to it, continued to stare at the three of them. To be precise, he focused on the only woman among the three. At this time, Uncle and Junji seemed to be aware of something and looked around instead of reacting to the police officer's sight. Unfortunately, the eyes of the three still met cleverly. For the vampires, that was not a face they wanted to see very much, that is, the police officer Mizorogi from the Metropolitan Police Department's first search section. Uncle and Junji quickly turned around with a nonchalant expression, but the other party had already noticed that they were The police officer got out of the patrol car and stepped forward as if he saw a guerrilla heavy tank. After flashing past the bodies of two or three dead mice, he stood in front of the three people who were full of mysteries. "It's a pleasure to meet you, I haven't seen each other since the farewell ceremony of the Murao family." The gentlemanly words stopped here, and the police officer immediately revealed his true colors. "You really always appear in front of me!" "Oh, isn't this the police officer Goulumu?" "It's Mizorogi! I haven't changed my surname since I was born!" Detective Oiwa greeted Masaka while standing beside Mirogi who was throwing a temper tantrum. "Hello miss, I didn't have a chance to introduce myself last time. I'm Gangtaro Oiwa from the first search section of the Metropolitan Police Department. I'm 27 years old and single. Since I'm the second son in my family, I don't have the pressure to support my parents. I'm a police officer, but I'm pretty confident that I'll be promoted to squad leader when I'm thirty." "What nonsense are you talking about while performing official duties! It is because of people like you that we police are looked down upon!" Officer Mizorogi snarled at Oiwa, and then glared at his uncle and Junji with hostile eyes. "I don't like you, I just don't like you, why are you in this place? Forget it, I'm not interested in hearing those perfunctory reasons, so let me tell you how I feel now. You are very suspicious, very suspicious. " "Do you have any basis or evidence?" "Yes, people who say that kind of thing are very suspicious. It has been like this from the past. The more suspicious the guy, the more evidence or evidence he will put on his mouth." Officer Mizorogi stomped on the floor and shouted excitedly: "As long as the police feel suspicious, it must be a criminal! There is no need for any evidence at all." Yaxiang raised her eyebrows vigorously. "Wait, Mr. Javi (Les Miserables, also translated as Lonely Star Tears, the police detective Jarvi symbolizes the ruthless law in the story.) Sir, your speech will not be too lacking in democratic spirit." "I've said many times that my name is Mizorogi! Why did I come up with such a strange name!" Since Gorogi hadn't read the work "Les Miserables", he was cruelly satirized but didn't know it. "Hey, where are you going!" Police officer Mirogi called out to stop his uncle and Junji who were about to ignore his existence and leave, but the two ignored his warning again and continued to walk forward, which made Officer Mizorogi even more furious. The voices of the people around turned their heads: "Listen to me. There must be a vicious villain behind this incident. Don't try to escape the police's eyes. We will definitely bring that villain to justice." "Ah, please don't pay too much attention to it. This person knows that he has no chance of promotion until he retires, so he is a little bit self-defeating, just listen to it." Detective Oiwa uttered harsh words in a leisurely tone, while Yaxiang replied indifferently: "I didn't take it to heart. Although I don't know who the bad guys are, if the police don't arrest those bad guys, kind-hearted citizens will be very troubled." "If you are not talented, you will definitely do your best and die." After saying some confusing words, Detective Oiwa then asked in a low voice: "By the way, what is your relationship with the young man beside you?" "A person who controls my future destiny." Yaxiang used this sentence to introduce the tutor who accompanied her through the final exam. Of course, she did not lie, but listening to the ears of outsiders who don't know the reason, it inevitably gave more room for imagination. Detective Oiwa turned out to be Junji who turned back for some reason, and he stood in front of Officer Mizorogi with a thoughtful look. "I'm sorry, Officer Mizorogi." "It's Goromu!" "I'm calling you Gorogi." "I don't like your pronunciation, what's the matter?" Junji gave advice and clues at the same time to Mizorogi, who was pretending to cough. "If you want to know more about this incident, try to investigate that man named Jianyuan." The officer put on a bulldog face. "The man named Jianyuan is..." "Executive director of the industry alliance." "Ah, it's that Jian Yuan." Police officer Mizorogi unconsciously turned up the volume, and immediately closed his mouth with a pair of big hands after he noticed it, and the police officer who looked away in a panic said softly: "No, that guy is too dangerous. It will definitely not end well if you get close to him, just pretend I didn't hear anything." "Oh...that's how it is. You can investigate ordinary people without any evidence, but when you meet big figures in the political and business circles, you become a coward. You really deserve to be a policeman in an advanced country. They do things differently." "Who, who said it! The police are the party representing justice, and slander and slander are never allowed." "In that case, you should try to investigate Katakahara Beigao—how about this guy with a hard-to-pronounce name?" The officer looked away from Junji and looked into the night sky, perhaps trying to hide his expression. "It is precisely because he understands that this guy named Jian Yuan is not an upright and honest saint, the police officer is so afraid. If he continues to let him do anything wrong, no matter how much the police claim that they are the party of justice, no one will believe it." "Well……" "You are not messengers of justice at all, but a group of guys who only know how to bully the weak. Am I wrong?" Provocation is also a kind of combat. Junji's plan is to make Officer Mizorogi go crazy and want him to go on a rampage. The police officer adjusted the angle of his face and stared at each other face to face with Junji. "Where is the suspicious evidence?" "He, Murao and Imaizumi know each other." "Just based on this..." In the middle of the sentence, Officer Mizorogi began to think with a serious expression, but this expression looked like a bulldog suffering from toothache, but everyone present did not say it. At 5 o'clock in the morning, the rat army that caused panic around Meiji Avenue suddenly disappeared. Although more than 10,000 mice died on Meiji Avenue due to the counterattack of humans, most of the rats took advantage of the long winter night before the end. Withdrew from the ground. "I saw a group of rats crawling into the underground tunnel in units of thousands" or "it seemed that they all hid in the ditch", although such rumors spread to the ears of the police and the media, but because it was dark at night Chaos, after all, it is difficult to confirm. The only thing that is certain is that after the rats made a fuss on the ground, they returned triumphantly to their underground empire. The land on the ground, which was invaded by rats, seems to have been beaten unilaterally, and is currently in a state of being blind. The entire Meiji Avenue is covered with dead rats, injured people, burning cars and goods all over the ground. , There were as many as 30 large and small fires along the street, and more than 5,000 households suffered power outages due to wires being bitten by rats. According to estimates, 39 people died from the rat attack, and more than 3,000 people were receiving treatment for minor or serious injuries. About 10% of them needed to be admitted to the hospital for observation. Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Takadanobaba— Hospitals and clinics across the region are working around the clock to treat the injured. On the other hand, under the emergency of the Metropolitan Police Department, the cadres of the security, security, and transportation departments began to light up night battles to discuss countermeasures. "Apart from medical problems, where did the group of rats go? It would be best if they all accidentally fell into the sea and drowned. If they just hid temporarily, I don't know if they will run to the ground and make a fuss someday." The implication is to expel the rats on a large scale. Does this mean that the Self-Defense Forces must be sent into the sewers to completely clear the rats' nests?If this is the case, thousands of people and sufficient equipment will need to be mobilized. How much money will be spent in the future if a mere rat can cause such serious damage?This number is even more unimaginable. At seven o'clock in the morning, the chairman of the National Public Security Commission and the governor of Tokyo, like the afterglow of the setting sun reflecting on the earth yesterday, the streets of Tokyo, which were knocked down by the rats, are still illuminated by the fiery morning sun today. The amount in units of tens of billions is constantly being heard from the crowd. This is the estimated amount of loss. Listening to those figures silently, a thin middle-aged man seemed to be driven by an unknown impulse and did not inform everyone in advance. Just opened the mouth, he is the chief of the fire department. "Compared with the amount of losses, more terrible things are waiting for us." The Prime Minister sensed an unusual sense of tension from his words, and hurriedly asked him to elaborate, but the answer he got was very concise and powerful. "plague." "Plague refers to... the plague?" The prime minister's voice kept trembling, and a gust of cold wind swept through the crowd below, and words that made everyone feel chilling came out from the mouth of the chief of the fire department. "The plague bacteria were detected from the bodies of the dead mice. The incubation period will end as soon as tonight. There will be many patients by then. We must quickly release this information to make the public psychologically prepared." "How can this kind of thing be announced? Once it is announced, it will definitely cause a big panic, and there will be no social order at all." "Even if it is concealed now, if the incident is revealed, the people's sense of trust in the government will be wiped out!" A very correct statement is difficult to refute. "We are no longer the socialist country we used to be, and we should not have the mentality of letting things go. And then there is no way to ask the people for help." "However, if a plague warning is issued in Tokyo, it will definitely cause a big panic. If someone escapes from Tokyo because of this, it will be out of control." Looking at it from another angle, a total ban on leaving Tokyo would cause panic. Horror scenes emerge in everyone's minds. The bridges connecting Tamagawa, Edogawa and Arakawa were completely blocked, and Tokyo Station and Haneda Airport were also closed. It can only receive the minimum food and daily necessities. If disputes arise during the distribution of resources and eventually turn into riots, the blocked and deserted metropolis will become an extralegal place that believes in the theory of the weak and the strong, although at that time the head of government will Sent to a safe place, but will definitely be severely criticized by the public. After a few minutes of depression, the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare took off his presbyopic glasses, his khaki face was full of tiredness, and he muttered to himself: "Plague plus Japanese encephalitis... I thought we lived in the most advanced modern city in the 21st century." "Now is not the time to make sarcastic remarks. You should find a way to get out of the predicament. People's trust in the government has been declining in recent years. If you don't think of a way..." After the Chairman of the National Public Security Commission finished speaking, the Chief Cabinet Secretary continued: "The turmoil and plague caused by the rats this time were not caused by the government, so as long as the follow-up actions are handled properly, the people's trust can be regained, and everything must start from here." There is one thing that must be dealt with first, that is to prepare vaccines and antibiotics equivalent to the number of heads of government. It was not until this matter was over that everyone began to discuss specific countermeasures. After eight o'clock, the police director gathered the cadres of the security department , and instructed the mobile team to set off. "If you don't send some mobile teams into the sewers, the media will think that we are not doing anything. Just let the troops go in and come out again. It's very simple." "Really, entering the 21st century, the police organization is becoming more and more casual." The cadres of the security department complained and prepared to dispatch, but the news of the plague had already spread, which made the mobile team panic. "It's so annoying to just say that! It's about our lives. I don't remember how much I get paid to let me step into the nest of plague bacteria!" Protests are natural. Even if they continue to declare that sulfa drugs, streptoxin and serum are sufficient to fight the plague, they still cannot dispel their anxiety and doubts. "It's really doubtful that such an old vaccine will come in handy." "Besides, what's the point of breaking into the sewer without even knowing the exact location of that mouse?" "At least make some plans to make it more acceptable to people on the front lines, like the chief of police or the head of the national security committee leading the charge." Protests like this continue to spread, which makes the heads of the government very angry. The former mobile team members can only choose to obey the orders from their superiors. The recent young people really lack the spirit of sacrifice and dedication, but anger can't change the status quo. We had to give priority to the distribution of vaccines to the members of the mobile team. Of course, this matter is completely kept secret from the media. Before the government has a sufficient amount of vaccines, it must not flow into the ears of ordinary people. If it gets out, Tokyo will definitely fall into chaos government status. In the midst of hesitation and distress, time passed by every minute and every second. At 8:30 in the morning, on the top floor of a certain newspaper office, a group of editorial board members with bloodshot eyes like government officials were holding a meeting. "This will be a big commotion centered on the plague vaccine. Those big shots who monopolize the vaccine, don't they just think about how to save themselves?" "I don't think it's far from ten." "The politicians in this country are really unreliable. But everything is self-planted, and there is no way to blame others." "Then what should we do? Stay in Tokyo?" "Of course you can escape if you want to, but if you do this, it's tantamount to abandoning Tokyo and ignoring the crisis. As a media worker, and you're also a supervisor, isn't that too cowardly?" ……港区海岸三丁目，由明治大道一路奔驰到东京湾岸，勤奋的BMW终于不支倒地，三名吸血鬼下车之后依靠着车身，任由晚冬的晨曦沐浴全身，至于那些认为吸血鬼受到日光照射便会死亡的人们，就任由他们自己想象吧。 “……你们还年轻，只知道东京繁荣的模样，我就不一样了。刚从上海回到日本的时候，东京不过是个到处充满焦臭味的荒野。” 伯父难得正经地述说自己从前的经历，也因此让两个年轻人不敢说出无谓的玩笑话，只是静静地听着伯父的一言一语。 “脱离战争的阴影，东京发展到今日的繁荣花了四十年以上的时间，可是这片繁荣居然毁在一群老鼠手上，而且还只花了一个晚上，这简直就是一场虚无的梦。” 站在伯父身旁的淳司朝东京湾内寒冷浑浊的水和天空望去，接着开口： “我还算喜欢这个城市，即使人工产物终究有消失的一天，不过如果消失在鼠疫菌和一群老鼠手上，太田道灌和德川家康会哭出来吧。” 雅香也点点头。 “说得也是，虽然我不喜欢德川家康，但是我很喜欢这个城市，都已经撑过无数的地震和空袭了，怎么可以被一群老鼠击倒。” 伯父摸摸胡须、看向两名年轻人。 “那么，你觉得我们能做什么呢？” “总之先试试看吧，就算要输也不能被提前结束比赛，这会让我很不高兴。” “既然如此，我们就认真地找出那只老鼠王吧。” 也就是说，CRS对仍然躲藏在暗处的敌人正式宣战。
