Eh? You want to try the humanoid girl's iron fist too?

As Raphael walked in, he said to Rin:

"We'll set off in 5 minutes. Everyone, be alert! After we get past the hill ahead, we'll be on the downhill section. Once we're completely past that, we'll have to enter the rural area."

Judging from the desperate efforts of the surviving Japanese to squeeze towards Kagoshima, the road conditions ahead won't be good. There will be frequent road clearing operations. I hope everyone can stay alert and follow the assigned procedures for being vigilant, resting, and driving.

"learn."

"You decide."

“Um…” Rose glanced at Lily and then asked, “What should we do if unarmed personnel approach us for help?”

"Kill without mercy."

Rose narrowed her eyes, looking into the girl's cold and indifferent eyes. Her lips moved, but she swallowed the words that were stuck in her throat.

They are the "packages," and the other party must ensure the safety of the "packages."

Both direct and potential threats are objects that Raphael's team must eliminate.

Help is not available. After reconnecting to the satellite network, Raphael received a lot of data, the most important of which was a map showing the radiation impact areas of the collapse of the Japanese archipelago.

Honshu Island is divided by Nagoya; the area east of it is undoubtedly an absolute black zone where no surface life can survive.

The area west of the border to Sasebo, Kurume and Oita in Kyushu is classified as the red zone, where ordinary humans and creatures cannot survive.

The remaining parts of Kyushu are classified as yellow zones, where environmental pollution levels are still within tolerable limits for humans. However, radiation levels in some areas are higher, and there is a risk of death...

Therefore, there was only one path left for the remaining surviving Japanese: to try crossing the sea to the Okinawa Islands.

The radiation levels in that area are currently very low, placing it in an absolutely safe zone, or what is commonly known as a "green zone".

The Green Zone is desirable, but crossing the sea is difficult, not to mention the fact that the Japanese government, which continues to operate there, has effectively begun to refuse any refugees coming by sea.

The remaining Maritime Self-Defense Force has taken on the task of blockading the seas, and any maritime refugees without permission will be considered potential ELID carriers.

If they do not heed the Maritime Self-Defense Force's warning to retreat, they will be sunk on the spot.

Although the Ogasawara Islands are also at sea, unfortunately, they have been directly subjected to the scouring of seawater containing high concentrations of collapse fluid, turning them into a living hell.

Book 1: The World Before the Great War: Chapter 154 You're Safe

After the disaster, the still well-established government organizations in the Okinawa Islands, seeing the severe drain on resources caused by the refugee camps stretching for several kilometers, immediately began to clear these camps.

They made a crude distinction between local residents and refugees. Those who managed to find a place to live were considered "locals," while those who arrived later were sent to refugee camps.

Before maintaining the normal lives of the local residents, they selected citizens with decent physical strength but no special skills to do unskilled labor, such as clearing rubble and harvesting crops, in exchange for food rations. The results were probably acceptable.

Not bad.

As for those with specialized skills, they received slightly better treatment. A significant number of them were assigned to corresponding positions, allowing them to pass on their skills and expertise to white-collar workers who were over-educated and spent their days holed up in cubicles and desks, so that these former white-collar workers could learn to do things themselves.

Rare yet logical, if we don't find a way to make good use of the resources at hand, riots will break out in an instant and eventually sweep across the entire island group.

Although many dangerous statements were made by these refugees from Honshu and Kyushu, the situation has finally stabilized thanks to strong control measures and the assistance of the U.S. military stationed in the area.

The work-for-relief program worked immediately, and within half a month, the demand for government subsidies clearly decreased, which was extremely important for increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

It transformed the mutually destructive "either life or death" situation into "striving to survive".

However, this also challenges the population carrying capacity of the Okinawa Islands. The population carrying capacity of a region depends on the local environmental carrying capacity.

With seafood resources contaminated, meat supply capacity has decreased sharply, which has directly led to an increase in people's food intake.

This has led local residents to make the most of the resources at hand, turning landscaped courtyards into small vegetable gardens and renovating their houses themselves.

However, many people are completely hopeless about the future because no matter how hard they try, the food rations they can get are only a fixed amount, and very scarce.

Previously, they only needed to sit in high-end offices, type on keyboards, and delegate excessive workloads to new junior colleagues to earn salaries that would make new employees envious.

As a result, just like the numerous cases that occurred along the route of the evacuation from Kyushu, the number of violent homicides in the Okinawa Islands is also rising at an alarming rate.

Those with connections tried to leave, doing everything they could to board flights at Okinawa International Airport and escape this polluted place completely.

Some went to Europe, some went to North America, and a lucky few obtained visas to other severely affected countries in the west and boarded flights to leave this ravaged land.

Most of those who leave are people with specialized skills in their respective industries. There is no point in them staying, because the tourism-oriented city offers no room for them to continue to develop their talents.

Even if the remaining Japanese government notices the loss of these highly skilled talents, it can only grit its teeth and secretly shed tears in a corner.

Due to the excessive population burden on Okinawa Island, the local government decided to evacuate refugees and transport them to the relatively underdeveloped islands such as the American Islands to fend for themselves and survive.

By the end of March, the United Nations finally took action, as the war on the Korean Peninsula was nearing its end.

The Korean People's Army and the South Korean army reached a cooperation agreement with difficulty.

The latter seized 30% of the bunkers that the North Korean side had spent decades building during the fierce battle, and promised to gradually hand them over over 50 years;

After suffering heavy casualties, the former, in order to preserve its strength for the future, and out of consideration for the fact that the US embassy in South Korea was still in relatively good condition, signed a rather dissatisfied name on the letter of understanding.

At this point, the fighting seemed to have stopped.

A working group of experts from the United Nations Office for the Management of Monuments and Sites arrived on the peninsula with the assistance of the U.S. military to guide North Korea in setting up and establishing a security zone.

These safe zones and bunkers housed nearly three million people.

Considering the Korean Peninsula is in a state of semi-severe pollution, with red and yellow hues, this number can already be described as a miracle.

However, the presence of the 8th stationed in South Korea remained a thorn in the side, especially for North Korea, who felt it was a thorn in their side. Their leader was bombed shortly before the start of the Korean War.

The location was incredibly precise. Fortunately, the person in question happened to be in an online meeting in the bunker, discussing how to weather this natural disaster.

They call it a "natural disaster," but anyone familiar with the technology of the ruins knows that to open something left behind by a previous civilization, you either have to do it using the normal methods of the ruins civilization, or you have to use violent means that humans can understand to force it open.

Can it be opened just by a few students trespassing into the restricted area?

Please don't treat people like fools, thank you.

After the people of the Northern Dynasty obtained the information through their channels, this was how they characterized the catastrophic ruins disaster in Japan.

Sooner or later, they will drive the US personnel stationed in South Korea out of the peninsula.

The current ceasefire is merely a result of the circumstances; what will happen in the future depends entirely on the methods employed by each side.

"...and millions of refugees are still slowly migrating north."

Raphael adjusted the observation orientation of the Keyhole satellite, and the South Korean refugees on the ground moved northward like frantic ants.

She glanced at the extent of the radiation contamination from the collapsed structure and couldn't imagine what fate awaited them.

After being exposed to the red contaminated zone without protection for more than two hours, they either became ELID infected or were shot dead by the North Korean or South Korean army.

Hunger and cold also plagued them, and it was unknown how many people would die on the migration route.

The Osprey tiltrotor transport aircraft appeared in the agreed airspace at the agreed time. Like a small bird, it rose and fell in the clouds, as if testing something.

"Yellow and red, mixed smoke, right?"

The bird looked up at the plane that was faintly visible; the noise of the plane's rotors spinning at high speed was comparable to the sound of waves crashing against the cliffs.

“Yes, a mixture of red and yellow,” Lily confirmed.

Asuka nodded to Suzune, who immediately threw out two smoke grenades.

Raphael lay on his back under the tree, using the optical sight mounted on the HK416 rail to track and observe the aircraft that appeared to be a pickup transport plane.

“The altitude has dropped,” she said.

"How did you know?" Rose sat beside Raphael, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Millimeter calculation".

"Oh~"

Raphael glanced at the dark-haired beauty sitting with her arms wrapped around her knees against the tree trunk, and thought to himself that this young lady didn't seem to be very smart.

Does someone like her really have the ability to handle ELID-related incidents? Based on impressions alone, Raphael thinks she doesn't.

"Where will that plane take us?" Rose asked in a soft voice. Her voice was so low it seemed to drift away on the wind.

"It could be Naha, or it could be Kadena."

...The girl is praying...

Two years later, a congressional oversight hearing was held.

"Captain Copperfield, please raise your right hand, and I will guide you in taking the oath."

"Can you swear that everything you've said is true, completely true, without any reservations?"

"Yes, I swear."

"Okay, you can begin now."

“Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I am Captain John Copperfield from the 13th Air Force.”

Today I am here to expose an unauthorized mission that occurred in South Korea during Operation 5027.

On February 16, 2030, my 2th Air Force carried out Operation Hammerfall over the Korean Peninsula.

We bombed Northern military installations along the 38th parallel, and we also bombed the residence of the Northern leader…

All the walls have been repaired, and the engineering soldiers have sealed the gaps with plastic wainscoting to protect against wind and rain.

The air conditioning circulation system has been turned on to remove moisture and dust from the air.

The bird gently put down the heavy desk and slowly pushed it against the wall.

Lingyin, on the other hand, entered a lazy state, clutching a bag of potato chips she had found somewhere and munching away non-stop.

Such resources on Okinawa Island have long been scarce, so it took her a lot of effort to find them.

Raphael glared at her, too lazy to bother disciplining his silly sister who became lazy when there was nothing important to do.

The accommodations at Kadena Air Base were quite nice; they even provided two internet cables, one for civilian use and one for military use. My phone regained signal, and as soon as I turned it on, I received a series of text messages.

The cries for help from classmates, the announcement from the former Japanese government, and the payment reminders from the mobile phone operator—it was the operator's payment reminder that made her feel a bit like she was stuck in Bengbu.

Even if it's the end of the world, do they still have the mind to chase up phone bills?

It's outrageous, yet perfectly reasonable. The phone signal has been restored here, so sending a letter to urge payment of phone bills is perfectly logical.

Raphael slowly rummaged through the mailbox and finally found something that brought her comfort among the many trivial matters.
