Forty-nine rules of the end times

Chapter 327 Withdrawal and Ejaculation

In a small conference room at the Panjang Police Headquarters.

Guan Tong and Shangyuan Zi arrived as agreed, and Suzuki received them and they talked here.

To their surprise, when they came in, Suzuki closed the door and then knelt down on both knees.

"What are you doing?" Guan Tong asked.

Suzuki remained kneeling, head bowed, her voice filled with panic: "I...I want you to save me. I don't know what to do anymore..."

"Get up first and explain what happened."

Suzuki didn't get up, but raised his head: "I...I'm a spore addict. Even though the spores disappeared after the rules ended, the addiction remains."

Guan Tong and Shang Yuanzi exchanged a glance.

They did suspect Suzuki had this problem, but they didn't expect her to admit it directly.

Whether it is simply spore addiction as she claims, or a deceptive act by a parasite, remains to be determined.

As for the phenomenon Suzuki described, "the spores are gone, but the addiction remains," it is indeed widespread.

Those who became addicted to the spores before the rules ended, but did not reach the point of becoming parasites, have basically all experienced this situation, and there are many posts about it online.

The current approach taken for Beixing is to isolate her in a centralized location and assist her with detoxification treatment.

After all, long before the rules of the apocalypse came into being, there were many addictive substances in the human world.

Various countries have established systems for the treatment of addiction, and it is perfectly appropriate to modify them and apply them to spore addicts.

“In that case, you should go to an addiction treatment center for isolation and detoxification treatment,” Guan Tong said. “Shang Yuan and I can’t help you with that.”

Suzuki looked terrified: "I...I'm afraid of places like that."

At this moment, Shangyuan Zi said to Guan Tong, "Yingqi's rehabilitation center has a bad track record and has been exposed before."

After hearing this, Guan Tong thought for a moment and helped Suzuki up.

“Here’s what I’ll do. I’ll help you get in touch with a safe and compliant rehabilitation center in Beixing.” He paused for a moment. “Every now and then, either I or Shangyuan will visit you to make sure there are no problems.”

"Really?!" Suzuki exclaimed in delight. "That's wonderful, thank you..."

"No need. You've been a great help to us. Without your profile, we wouldn't have been able to find out so quickly that Jun Mizawa had moved the laboratory to the ship."

Guan Tong always repays kindness with kindness and avenges wrongs.

Without Suzuki's help, the longer things drag on, the more difficult it will become for Misawa Jun. For that reason, he will help her to the best of his ability.

Ten minutes later, after settling the relevant matters, Guan Tong and Shang Yuanzi left the Public Security Bureau.

On the way back, Shang Yuanzi asked, "Do you think what she said is all true?"

“I don’t know,” Guan Tong said. “If she is a parasite, what would be her purpose in doing this? Also, I will explain this situation to Bei Xing and keep an eye on her.”

"...Can spore addicts really kick their addiction?"

Shang Yuanzi's question is also Guan Tong's question.

Spores, being addictive, are definitely harder to quit than regular substances.

But no matter what, the authorities will definitely have to intervene.

If left unchecked, it's tantamount to pushing these addicts toward parasites.

……

On January 11, the Human Alliance officially issued a statement characterizing the actions of the parasitic group in establishing the "Seri Kingdom" on the territory of the Black Flag State as a "malicious alien colonization operation."

Following the characterization of the issue, a public blockade and declaration of war were immediately implemented. From the date of the announcement, the relevant areas of the Black Flag Nation will be completely sealed off, and no individual or group will be allowed to travel there under any pretext.

Meanwhile, the Human Alliance will form a coalition led by the three countries of North Star, Soroma, and Sisya, with only one goal: to eliminate the Kingdom of Seri and its host of parasites.

The statement received widespread support from people all over the world after it was released.

Those who have dissenting opinions dare not express their opposition under such circumstances.

Because every country is currently cracking down on parasites within its borders, speaking against them and praising them at this time will certainly arouse suspicion.

Aside from the formation of the coalition, the People's Federation also announced a major event that countless people had been eagerly anticipating.

That was the launch of two launch vehicles.

The launch of "Dreamboat-1" and "Imperial Pioneer," originally scheduled for December last year, has been postponed to January 12 this year, which is tomorrow, due to regulations.

Many who were following the matter speculated whether it would be further delayed due to the situation in the Kingdom of Seri. Now, the Federation of People's Societies has announced that the launch plan remains unchanged, and the two rockets will launch on schedule tomorrow, with the launch broadcast live globally.

This is a rare piece of encouraging news.

Even if Terra, the destination, is an uninhabitable planet for humans, it is still the first step towards space colonization.

If the rocket launch is successful and it arrives safely on Terra, and if the astronauts on board are able to successfully complete their mission of surviving on the planet for a period of time, it will mean that humanity has achieved a breakthrough from zero to one.

In fact, many people have been reflecting on the issue of space colonization since the end-of-the-world rules were introduced.

Given the technological level of the humans on Tianshui, if they could unite as one, they could have started trying and accumulating experience ten, twenty, or even thirty years earlier.

In that case, humanity might not be so passive in the face of the current apocalyptic crisis.

While everyone has heard the great principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace, how many people can truly put it into practice as a life motto?

Let alone ordinary people, even among the world's billionaires, only a minority are enthusiastic about space colonization and biotechnology. Most are still thinking about how to make more money and gain more power.

1 month 12 day.

The launches of the two manned rockets were broadcast live globally as scheduled.

Countless people, filled with hope for the future, watched through various channels.

The moment they successfully ignited and launched, cheers erupted all over the world.

Some people who were depressed and desperate because of the rules of the apocalypse even had their desire to survive rekindled when they saw the rockets taking off.

They all wanted to live longer, so that one day they might have the chance to board a rocket ship and travel to outer space.

This is not a fantasy in the eyes of many people, because there is a consensus that in the post-apocalyptic era, human survival technologies will inevitably accelerate, and immigration spaceships are undoubtedly the most representative modern survival technologies.

Whether or not this consensus is a true reality, as long as people believe it in their hearts, they will gain more motivation to survive.

For the next two days, January 13th and 14th, people were immersed in the excitement of the rocket launch, hoping that it would arrive on Terra as soon as possible and bring back good news.

In addition, some people on the internet have released information saying that the Human Alliance Army has been assembled and is now waiting for the new rules to be released on the 15th.

If the new rules do not affect the war, then the operation against the Kingdom of Seri will begin immediately.

If the new rules have an impact, then we can only hold off for now and wait until the rules expire and the interval begins before making any further moves.

Furthermore, many people are unsure whether the previous Article 14 falls under the survival category. If it does, then Article 15 is more likely to be a non-survival category.

If not...

Let's forget about it! Countless people think so; we need a break!
So, amidst people's anticipation, tension, anxiety, or fear... the day finally arrived at the 15th, the day the fifteenth rule of the apocalypse was announced.
