"Citizens please do not panic and evacuate in an orderly manner according to daily drills."
Heiji Kozengata, the governor of Tokyo, looked calm in front of the camera and repeated this sentence again and again, which was broadcast on the big screen in the city.
But in fact, he was far from as calm as he showed, not even as calm as those people who took refuge in an orderly manner.
Because the earthquake spread to Tokyo at level 6, and based on the seismic resistance of Tokyo's buildings, an earthquake of this level can only be regarded as a small event for everyone.
But the notification message received by Heiji Kozenegata was that Mount Fuji might erupt...
In addition to Shizuoka and Yamanashi Prefectures, Tokyo, the world's most populous city, will bear the brunt!
Of course, this kind of anticipated and shocking news cannot be told directly to the public, as it would turn the otherwise orderly evacuation into a turmoil.
They were in a temporary shed on the square. Kozengata Heiji signaled the camera crew to turn off the live broadcast and played what he had just said in a loop on the big screen. He turned around and wanted to go aside and sit down to rest, but the next moment he Just fell to the ground.
He had just forced himself to appear calm, but in fact his legs were already a little numb under the influence of fear. At this time, the ground shook and he fell down without paying attention.
"Governor!"
His secretary came to help him. After Kozengata Heiji stood up, he sat on the inflatable sofa and asked, "Where is my box?"
The secretary was stunned for a moment, thinking that even now, you are still thinking about that box. Isn't it all your embezzled money
But of course the secretary didn't dare to say what he was thinking. It was just an earthquake, and in his opinion it was not the end of the world. He would have to work under Governor Xiaozigata in the future.
"it's here."
The secretary brought the silver box over and placed it on the triangular table. Because of the earthquake, the box was shaking constantly on it, and there seemed to be some banging noises coming from inside. This made the secretary a little strange, and thought it didn't look like cash. , could it be gold bars
But when Kozengata Heiji opened the box, it was not the money that the secretary had expected, but just a few bottles of old wine and a set of glasses.
He skillfully opened a bottle of red wine and blew directly into the bottle. This famous wine from a Bordeaux winery was just drunk.
Also, in this kind of environment, how can you find the time to sober up and be elegant
Kozengata Heiji just wanted to drink some liquor to calm his uneasy heart. In this state, he even felt that this bottle of red wine was really not strong enough. It would be better if he replaced it with the cheap soju in an izakaya.
"Want some?"
Kozengata Heiji put down the bottle, let out a long breath, blushed slightly, and said to his secretary.
The secretary looked at the crowds running past the square, then looked at the bottle of red wine. After hesitating, he picked it up and took a sip, "Governor Xiao Changata, why don't we sit here and drink right now?"
Kozengata Heiji smiled, "What's wrong? We've done everything we can. Maybe we're going to die today, why can't we just have a drink?"
The secretary's expression changed. The only person present who knew that Mount Fuji might erupt was Heiji Kozengata. He didn't know the inside story. In his opinion, this was just an ordinary earthquake, which was normal for the Japanese people.
But now looking at the performance of Governor Kozengata, it seems that it is not that simple.
"Look at the colorful smoke screens stretching into the sky over Mount Fuji. Do you really think they are for drills? Why do drills require such a big battle? And now there is an earthquake. Think about it for yourself."
Governor Kozengata had a sad smile on his face. The only consolation in his heart now was that he had sent his children to study abroad, his wife went back to his hometown to visit relatives, and he was the only one in his family in Tokyo.
Click—
A crack appeared on the ground of the square, the earth shook more violently, and the magnitude of the earthquake continued to increase.
The secretary finally believed what Governor Kozenigata said. He looked at Mount Fuji in the distance, and his expression changed a little, "Governor, how about... let's go and evacuate too?"
Not only was the secretary a little panicked, but the people running for refuge on the road were also even more panicked. They seemed to realize that this earthquake was different from the norm.
"Xiaonan-no, my child, please give way, you are going to step on my child!"
A woman roared wildly, and she and her daughter were scattered in the crowd.
"Woo-"
It was the cry of a child rolling to the ground.
"What's the grind ahead? Go forward!"
There was a queue of people waiting impatiently to get into the open space.
"Baby, please hold on to your mother's hand."
There is a mother holding her child's hand tightly, with a sad face, but forcing a smile.
"Don't be afraid, Sakura, hold daddy tight."
The father held his daughter and kept patting the child's offspring to comfort her.
"Quickly step aside, there is a wounded person here. He was hit in the leg by a street light."
There was a young man supporting an old man who was pushing forward.
"Why are you so crowded? Just line up and get in!"
Someone shouted dissatisfiedly at the young man.
But the young man was unmoved and continued to push forward.
The old man sighed and said, "Good boy, we don't know each other either. Thank you for bringing me here. Just put me on the side of the road and go in quickly. This is not safe."
"This is not your father, why are you squeezing!"
Someone glared at the young man.
There was anger in the young man's eyes, "The house hasn't collapsed yet. Shouldn't our relatives and friends just ignore it?"
Some people remained silent, while others continued to condemn the young people's behavior of jumping in line and pushing forward.
But the young man is moving forward bravely. The old man's leg is broken, and the bone is punctured. He is losing a lot of blood. If it is not treated effectively, his life will be in danger.
"Come to the roadside, I'm a doctor, I'm here to help him with first aid!"
Someone finally spoke up. It was a woman. She stepped back from the queue and gave up her front-row seat that was about to enter the shelter.
"thanks, thanks."
The young man stopped, led the old man out, and came to the roadside with the woman.
Incidents are repeated in various shelters.
For a time, women's screams, children's cries, and men's noisy curses made the city of Tokyo extremely noisy.
In the face of disaster, the noble becomes more noble, and the ugly becomes even uglier.
Governor Xiaoqiangata didn't know if it was because of his drinking, but he could faintly hear the roar coming from the ancient sacred mountain. It was like a god roaring to punish them.
As the magnitude of the earthquake increased, large-scale power outages began in the streets, communication devices began to malfunction, and they could no longer continue to broadcast and command the public.
In the face of absolute natural disasters, humans will recall the fear of being dominated by the power of nature and appreciate the greatness of the gods.
All they can do now is pray.
The magnitude of the earthquake continued to increase. After about a few minutes, just when people thought that Mount Fuji would really erupt, the magnitude began to slowly decrease again.
Eventually, the land calmed down and the only sounds left on the streets were the noisy sounds of people.
…
Lu Chen watched the huge golden eyes gradually go silent, and pulled out Hongfeng. The center of his eyebrow was the only place where it could penetrate the brain. However, in a normal battle, Hongfeng would not be able to break through the tough dragon scales, and neither could Eden. Give him this chance.
He felt that the moment before he stabbed the red maple into the dragon's head, the power of the word spirit surged in Iden's body, but it fell silent again the next moment.
If he lost, he would lose. He didn't want to die so ugly.
Lu Chen swung his sword and the blood vibrated. The red dragon's blood spread out in an arc on the ground and soaked into the soil.
He put the red maple into the scabbard. This unqualified purple-quality alchemical knife completed its mission. Zhang Jiuya, the master alchemist who originally forged it, never imagined that this knife would have the honor of killing the next generation. Achievements.
After doing all this, he waved to Eriki at the top of the mountain, indicating that it was safe and there was no need to worry.
Eriki didn't reply, but a smile appeared on her face. At this time, the clouds dispersed and the sun fell on the earth again, also shining on the girl's cheek. The curvature of the corner of her mouth was like a bright red on the top of the mountain in winter, a spring flower in full bloom. The beauty of life is intoxicating.
Yuan Zhisheng came to Lu Chen's side and was a little amazed when he saw the huge dragon body that had returned to silence.
"What to do with His body?"
Lu Chen used the word "remains" because he believed that although Eden brought many death threats to them, he was a noble dragon warrior and the first opponent he had fought so happily. He treats each other with respect.
"Let Genji Heavy Industries dispatch a group of transport helicopters to lift it and transport it to an uninhabited area first."
Yuan Zhisheng thought for a while.
Lu Chen shook his head, "You know that's not what I'm talking about."
Yuan Zhisheng was silent for a moment, and finally said: "I personally can't make the decision, but I will stand by Lu Jun."
He knew that what Lu Chen was talking about was the ownership of the next-generation dragon body. You must know that everything on the ancient dragon is a precious alchemical material. This is the first time in modern human history that the body of a next-generation dragon has been obtained almost completely. He The value is immeasurable.
Faced with such a treasure, it would be difficult for the Sheqi family to give in, but the secret party would not give in either, not to mention that this next-generation species was almost killed by Lu Chen independently.
"I understand. Let the people from the academy talk about it later. Before that, I hope you won't touch him. Remember, I am still in Japan before his body is handed over to the academy."
Lu Chen nodded. When he said don't move, he didn't mean not to allow the Sheqi family to move Iden's body, but to warn the Sheqi family not to cut up Iden's body without authorization.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, this is your trophy."
Yuan Zhisheng smiled and nodded. To him personally, although Gu Long's body was a treasure, it was nothing. He just wanted to kill the god and end the predicted fate of the eight Sheqi families.
Although transferring Gu Long's body to the academy would cause dissatisfaction among many people in the family, he stood by Lu Chen this time. If not for Lu Chen, he would have died in the Nibelung roots underground. Mount Fuji may also have erupted now.
He was fed up with the way politicians acted, and he wanted to despise the idea of burning bridges across rivers.
"No… "
Lu Chen shook his head. He wanted to say that Eden's body was not a trophy, but after thinking about it, he didn't know how to describe it. After all, he was not a pedantic person. Afterwards, the dragon body was sent back to the academy, and he would also let the secret party dig up the dragon body. The main beneficiary of the treasure of his body will eventually be himself.
But he still lamented that sometimes, human beings are indeed the most greedy creatures, even squeezing out the value of others after death.
"That's it for today, I'm a little tired."
Lu Chen finally sighed and did not continue the topic.
He stuck Hei Xuan on the ground, his face was a little pale, his physical strength was at the bottom, and he had lost too much blood.
Burning secret blood during the battle, coupled with Hei Xuan's absorption, he is now extremely weak.
Yuan Zhisheng looked at the pale boy. The setting sun was setting, and it seemed to have an unhealthy red color. Only at this moment did he feel that the boy looked like a person, not a monster.
The young man's eyes looked towards the setting sun. The setting sun set on the top of Mount Fuji, like a magnificent and huge gem. The light emitted by the gem enveloped the girl in the miko uniform. The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally the girl moved first. .
Eriki crossed the railing and ran down from top to bottom, like an elf jumping on the sun. The shadow stretched far in front of her, but this elf seemed to be able to chase up.
The distance of hundreds of meters and the short time seemed to be stretched out like a girl's shadow at this moment. In Lu Chen's eyes, the witch's uniform undulating due to running reminded him of the blooming flowers in his hometown and the setting sun. In the halo, it was like a goddess descending from the sky and running toward him. His eyes were confused for a moment.
He originally wanted to go up and find Eri, but he didn't have the energy.
He was far weaker than Yuan Zhisheng had imagined. It was a little difficult to stand there at this moment, but he couldn't show his timidity.
Yuan Zhisheng may be trustworthy, but not everyone in the eight Sheqi families can be trusted. Moreover, after being reminded by Fengjian Liuli, there may be a king general in the eight Sheqi families. If he shows an extremely weak look, he may Encounter danger.
The girl ran in front of Lu Chen and stopped. She opened her mouth and took a breath. Water mist rose from her cherry blossom-like lips, as if people could feel the heat. She ran very fast just now.
"Godzilla is so awesome!"
Eriyi wrote in a small notebook, with a look of praise in her eyes, and her pretty face was tinged with a blush due to exercise and the sunset, adding an intoxicating sweetness.
"Eri is also very good."
Lu Chen smiled and replied.
Yuan Zhisheng on the side was a little embarrassed and coughed slightly, which meant that your brother was here too.
Eriyi turned to the next page of the notebook and wrote on it: "Brother... is also very powerful."
Yuan Zhisheng's expression was dull, and he thought to himself, "If you praise Eriyi, I will praise you. What does the ellipsis in the middle mean?"
So reluctantly!
But if you think about it carefully, he did not perform well today. The only contribution he made to this battle after coming up was to serve as a return courier and deliver Hei Xuan to Lu Jun.
However, he still felt sad about the string of ellipses.
"elder brother!?"
Lu Chen looked at Minamoto Zhisheng in shock. He had guessed that Eriko was from the Seraki Hachi family, and had also matched up with the Uesugi family that Caesar had mentioned before. But what happened to his brother?
Don't you two have different last names
