#400 - Chapter 400: Big Changes in the East Island Country
After Koyoko Hatada brought the video of the ecological crisis back to East Island, it triggered a major earthquake in the entire political world.
December 6, 2055.
Night.
Kazuo Ikui, the Prime Minister of East Island, was assassinated at his home.
The same night.
Subsequently, 78 members of the National Diet went missing or died for various reasons.
The entire East Island was shrouded in thick dark clouds.
December 8, 2055.
Both houses of the Diet announced that Hirofumi Toda had been elected as the new Prime Minister with a unanimous vote and began to rebuild the cabinet.
The next day.
The cabinet issued 'A Letter to All Citizens'.
This was actually a public announcement.
The announcement officially disclosed the fact that the ecological crisis would erupt in two years, calling on all citizens to unite and jointly face the upcoming challenges.
In addition, the announcement also proposed the concept of universal conscription.
The so-called universal conscription was actually a mandatory conscription order. The announcement stated that all citizens of East Island aged 16 to 56, regardless of gender, as long as they were healthy, must join the military for service.
In addition, the newly occupied Southeast Asian countries could not escape their clutches either.
All adult men and women were rounded up and transported to Myanmar and Vietnam, south of China.
Their large-scale recruitment must have another purpose.
And that purpose is China.
At this stage, except for Binjiang where Dongfang Chen is located, the area south of the Yangtze River in China is already deserted.
The East Island cabinet coveted this area.
According to their analysis, after the outbreak of the ecological crisis, the sharp drop in global temperature will cause most parts of the world to be covered by ice and snow. Then the tropical regions may become the last human habitat.
Therefore, Myanmar, Vietnam, and the area south of the Yangtze River in China have become areas they must occupy.
Why did China withdraw from here before?
On the one hand, it was because there were too many mosquitoes, making the virus difficult to contain, and on the other hand, mutated insects would pose a huge threat to humans.
Isn't East Island afraid?
The answer is no.
Because behind them, there is the support of the Red Robe Sect.
The problem is that the Red Robe Sect cannot fundamentally resist the virus, so how can they help East Island?
The answer is that the leadership of East Island thinks they can.
If they think they can, they are naturally not afraid.
As for the mutated insects, they have a local method called: Virus-laden Bait Insecticide Method. This method integrates folk insect extermination methods and several top-secret virus experimental files.
The implementation process is like this.
They will regularly throw bait into insect-dense areas and around human living areas to induce mutated insects to feed.
However, the bait contains a virus called Cass and a delayed-lethal poison.
After the mutated insects eat it, they will be infected, but the poison will not take effect immediately.
After returning to the nest, the toxicity takes effect, and the insects die.
At this time, the Cass virus comes into play. It will cause the host's corpse to emit a certain attractive aroma, inducing its kind to gnaw, so as to achieve its own spread.
In addition to making the corpse emit an aroma, this virus also has a characteristic: destroying the reproductive system.
The insects that eat the corpse will soon be poisoned to death by the poison, and the emitted aroma will induce more mutated insects to eat.
Although the power of the poison is limited, the destructive power it produces will definitely not be small.
A huge insect group may soon become extinct under the dual destruction of poison and virus.
And the most inhumane point is that they use: people, to make virus-laden bait.
… …
December 22, 2055.
Ta Kili, central region of Myanmar and Vietnam.
This is a gathering place for survivors.
Since Myanmar and Vietnam are located in tropical regions, the virus is rampant and a large number of humans have died, so survivors are extremely rare.
But here there are more than five thousand survivors.
"Brother, it's not good, the Japs are here!" A dark-skinned, rough man ran into the tent in a panic.
"How many people?" A Junhei man with a scar on his face asked.
"Looks like there should be two or three thousand people," the rough man replied.
"Damn it, do these bastards think that there is no one in our Myanmar and Vietnam? Dare to come here with two or three thousand people? They don't take us seriously at all?" The Junhei man threw the dagger on the table, stood up and cursed.
"Boss, you're floating after drinking two cups of horse urine, aren't you?"
The rough man's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.
"Mantis, is it okay to leave it to you?" The Junhei man looked at Mantis and asked.
Mantis, original name Tang Kun, a Sleeper member, serial number: 6.
"You've finished bragging, and now you want me to do the work?" Tang Kun asked with a smile.
"What's yours and mine? We're brothers, who are we kidding, right?" The Junhei man said with a smile.
"You, all you have is a mouth!" Tang Kun pointed at him and pretended to blame.
"I just happen to be making a living off of what God has given me!" The Junhei man's skin was unusually thick.
"Okay! You use your mouth, I'll use my hands!" Mantis was really speechless to him, shook his head and walked out.
With a light leap, he jumped onto the roof of the four-story building.
