Otherworld Girl Development Guide

--------------------------------------

As the capital of South Korea, politicians in the Blue House are currently preparing for the election. In this country, the presidency is a high-risk profession, and few presidents have a good ending, but the presidency is still the target of some people.

While politicians were bickering inside the Blue House, a flight from the "Third World" landed slowly at Asiba's capital airport.

The aircraft's autopilot landed on the airport runway and began to taxi, but the aircraft did not brake and crashed into the airport's waiting area.

"what happened?"

Instantly, the people in the control tower jumped up in fright. What a joke! As a superpower, such an accident would make us a laughing stock of the whole world!

"Stop immediately! Engage the brakes!"

"quick...."

"It's too late!"

The people in the waiting room also noticed the strange plane and hurriedly scattered in all directions.

Under the desperate gaze of the control tower personnel, the nose of the plane crashed into the waiting room, and the entire plane caught fire upon impact, with the fuselage structure cracking... When the plane finally came to a stop, some swaying figures walked off the plane.

I almost died on the highway because of a leave request.

I need to take a day off. The day before yesterday, I took my wife to the hospital for a check-up. We were driving on the highway in icy weather, and I almost died on the highway... My first thought was actually, "That's it, I'm really done for."

The car skidded on the highway and spun 720 degrees... I was saved by God.

Updates have been a bit slow lately, not because I'm abandoning the project, but because there's just been so much going on around me. The medical care in my area isn't very good, and I need to take my wife to Shenyang, which is 100 kilometers away, for a checkup. And the procedure I'm going for is...??? That's why there's so much going on.

In two or three days, the check-up will be over, and I'll be back with a huge update.

I'm very sorry, but family and work need to be prioritized.

Chapter 54 Blossoming

The world is changing, and changing faster than people can imagine.

The CCTV Evening News just reported on the construction status of China's lunar base, and in the blink of an eye, the BBC and CNN began to smear China, saying that this was China's preparation to betray all mankind and escape to the moon alone.

In the conference room at the heart of the Rabbit's organization, the Ninth Elder kept smoking, and the conference room's exhaust fan sucked the smoke outside, replacing it with fresh air.

On the giant holographic projection screen in the conference room, almost everywhere on Earth except for the rabbit's home was tinged with red, especially across the ocean, where it was a deep, almost purple red... What the bears couldn't do, the plague and the fungus have accomplished.

According to reconnaissance satellites, all 51 states in the US are in chaos, especially in some areas with strong military spirit. Cleanup teams have been organized to "assist" the government in the cleanup, and in particular, the US is determined to kill any innocent person who is innocent.

As long as symptoms are detected, it's an American-style iaido plus an outdoor BBQ.

"You all saw it, right? Sakura has already asked us for help..." an elder said with a sigh.

In today's globalized world, if a problem arises on the other side of the ocean, it's only a matter of time before it affects the entire world. Or, with the Industrial Revolution, transportation has become increasingly convenient, making the spread of infectious diseases easier as well.

"What is the US doing? If they had taken the right measures, they would have brought it under control by now!"

Another elder said with a hint of disappointment, "We originally thought that the United States, which calls itself the beacon of the world, would quickly control the blood plague and fungus, but no one expected that the United States would completely fail. This is hard for some to believe."

How did the beacon of hope they once admired, or even the one they were blinded by, become like this...? Soon, they split into two factions.

One group was simply trying to make money, after all, it's business, so they quickly changed their tactics; the other group, however, was truly stubborn and began to "ignore the facts" and try every possible way to whitewash the situation.

If the US is acting like this, other Western countries are even more nonchalant, adopting an attitude of "a dead pig doesn't fear boiling water."

An empire will not perish overnight; it will only gradually decline. The United States has already begun to decline, and at a faster pace than outsiders imagine.

"We must help Sakura. If Sakura's family falls apart, it will affect us too. We're all in the same boat..."

"...Furthermore, the recent actions of the US are somewhat concerning; their nuclear forces are being mobilized..."

At this point, the elders present couldn't help but frown. The "Age of Blood Plague and Fungi" Rabbit absolutely would not allow his grand plan to be disrupted by such a thing!

"...Their actions demonstrate their lack of confidence. As our instructor said, the US is nothing but a paper tiger. Back when we unsheathed our swords, they were as obedient as grandsons!"

It's impossible for the US to say that it wants to nuke itself. Its biggest goal is to hold all of humanity hostage and make the whole world pay for the US's actions.

"We need to prepare for the worst regarding the US, but overturning the table isn't in Wall Street's interest; it's just a 'bargaining chip' to threaten all of humanity. First, we need to resolve the issue with Sakura..."

It is necessary to intervene, but how to provide assistance is a problem. The US will not stand idly by and watch China intervene. While it is rotting itself, it will also drag all of humanity down with it. It truly deserves the title of the "tumor of humanity".

"...As for Asi, we're willing but unable to help..."

Ah, this is the reality of our country. Media control and giant corporations have made everyone in Ah, Ah, think they're above everyone else. Even if the higher-ups understand this, they can't do anything under the constraints of these giant corporations. On the contrary, several officials who wanted to take action died in "accidents."

"Then, let's deal with the blood plague and fungus in Sakura's family first. We have to eat one bite at a time."

After the top leadership made the decision, they quickly mobilized private and government agencies to begin their journey to Sakura.

The new Y-20 transport aircraft took off from a military airfield along the coast via a ski-jump ramp...

At a civilian airport, the landing gear of a transport plane loaded with supplies and medicine leaves the runway...

Cargo ships laden with supplies, escorted by Type 056 corvettes, set sail for Sakura...

--------------------------------------

"Attention citizens, the current situation is unusual. Please stay home unless absolutely necessary. If you experience symptoms such as cough, fever, vomiting, or dizziness, please call..."

Whether by coincidence or some unknown force behind the scenes, the plague and fungus broke out rapidly in Sakura's house in a short period of time, and there were even cases of drinking water being contaminated and large numbers of people being infected by the fungus.

Despite her self-proclaimed advanced biotechnology, Sakura is somewhat powerless against blood plagues and fungi.

Humanity's proud technology can only scratch the surface of the problem in the face of natural viruses, and cannot fundamentally solve the issue.

As an island nation, Sakura's geography dictates that it is a relatively closed space, especially now that it is out of control and the government is unable to contain the outbreak of blood plague and fungi.

The infection rate is increasing daily and rising exponentially, but it's slightly better than Ashiba, because Ashiba next door has already started staging a live-action version of "Train to Busan".

Aseba's geography is even worse than that of Sakura. Geographical factors determine that Aseba's citizens mainly live in the capital Seoul, the Han River Plain, and the lower reaches of the Nakdong River.

The streets and alleys are deserted, and every now and then you can see people with swollen heads from fungal infections wandering aimlessly. So far, these infected people have not developed a stress response to attack people.

These infected individuals were quickly covered in fungi, their bodies becoming nutrients for the fungi. Just as insects turn into mushrooms, the infected individuals gradually transformed into humanoid mushrooms, especially in their final form—flowering!

As the literal meaning suggests, "flowering" refers to the process where, once the infected person's body has absorbed enough fungi, the fungi control the person, forcing them to a well-ventilated area. The fungi then converge at the highest point of the infected person's body, namely the head...

The already swollen head will shatter after a large amount of fungus floods in, like a plant blooming, expanding in eight petals, lifting the skull of the infected person to reveal the still writhing brain inside. The infected person will instinctively roll their eyes upward, revealing the whites of their eyes, and let out an instinctive low growl.

At the moment of flowering, countless fungal spores, under the pressure of intracranial pressure, are ejected upwards along with intracranial fluids, scattering in all directions with the wind, just like scattering pollen, spreading the fungus into the air and infecting more humans.

Chapter 55 Paradise

"Sara, do you know what you're doing? Stop the investigation into Deburg immediately..."

A middle-aged man's roar came through the phone.

"...You're putting yourself in danger!"

"Thank you for your kindness, but I am pursuing my own justice! What we need is the truth, not selling self-defense rifles to children!"

After saying that, Sarah hung up the phone without waiting for the editor-in-chief to say anything more, presumably something like "You're fired."

After hanging up the phone, Sarah felt a sense of clarity, then took out the documents she had prepared and began to look through them...

The information was all about Deburg, which can be described as the dirtiest place on Earth, full of notorious evil scientists and some demons who could be said to live in this world.

Deburg appears heavily guarded, but that's only on the surface. Especially now, with the rampant blood plague and fungi, the guards have become even more lax, which allowed Sarah to find a loophole to enter, or rather, Dale's power is very strong.

She successfully bribed the person in charge of delivering medical supplies to Deburg with a knife. It wasn't that the person in charge was irresponsible; it was just that Sarah gave too much.

Next, all she needs to do is enter the interior of Deburg, use a hidden pinhole camera to film the internal laboratories, and expose them to reveal the darkness of Deburg, thus becoming a "hero," just like in a Hollywood movie.

Soon, Sarah packed her belongings, and with a backup plan, drove towards the agreed-upon location with the person in charge.

Driving down the street, Sarah frowned slightly. The streets were littered with discarded needles, foul-smelling garbage, and memorable infected individuals.

Some infected individuals have swollen heads, while others are turning into mushrooms. Still others, infected with both the plague and the fungus, wander the streets like zombies...

Despite the government's repeated calls for wearing protective gear, no one on the street is wearing it because it would restrict their freedom.

As Sarah waited at the traffic light at the intersection, an ordinary black pickup truck pulled up next to her car. Sarah instinctively turned her head to look, and saw that the driver seemed to sense her gaze, rolled down the window, and revealed a pale face.

"Hi..."

Sarah greeted him, only to see the other person react as if on cue, yelling and suddenly pulling a pistol from his pocket and firing at Sarah...

boom! boom! boom!

The bullet pierced the car window, and the bullet, out of its static balance, tumbled and struck Sarah in the head, instantly blowing her skull apart... Immediately afterwards, the mentally ill patient got out of the car, opened Sarah's car door, and in a frenzy, kept shooting at Sarah... Then he set the entire car on fire with gasoline.

The mentally ill gunman shot and killed Sarah and set the vehicle on fire before quickly driving away. As for the police... with constant budget cuts, they have become virtually non-existent.

After watching the stolen car drive away, a van parked on the side of the road slowly drove off. The people inside put away their high-definition cameras, which had recorded the entire murder.

--------------------------------------

At the FB Love Branch, the director took a sip of his coffee, while the minister in charge of medical supplies contentedly put the envelope on the table into his pocket.

After the minister left, the bureau chief picked up the phone and made a call. After the call was connected, the bureau chief did not speak, but waited for the other party to speak first, which clearly showed the difference in rank.

"Has the problem been resolved?"

A middle-aged man's slightly hoarse voice sounded in his ear, and the bureau chief quickly replied, "Yes, sir..."

"Well done, you can send your family to the amusement park now."

"Thank you so much!"

After hanging up the phone, the bureau chief immediately picked up his coffee cup and took another sip, relieved that his family was finally safe.

"paradise..."

He didn't even know where the amusement park was; it was an absolute secret to those below a certain level. But to the higher-ups, it was transparent, and the government had even started allocating funds to it—after all, tax revenue should be used wisely.

Its purpose is to deal with the uncontrollable "blood plague and fungi" of the future, and to build an absolutely safe paradise like a castle in the apocalypse.

Now, the "blood plague and fungus" have successfully breached the US healthcare system, with the number of infections continuing to rise. Even Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson are unable to cope with this "two-in-one" problem, and the drugs they have developed can only delay the spread, not solve the problem at its root.

Thus, the amusement park became a fallback for the wealthy. With the help of modern technology and powered by a nuclear power plant, the amusement park was able to be self-sufficient and support 10 people. As for who would do the work, it was naturally Brother Ni, whose "destiny had already been decided," after all, this was a tradition, an ancestral instruction left by our ancestors.

From ancient times to the present, the concept of medieval castles has been ingrained in the DNA of the West, and the amusement park is a modern "castle". Those who can enter the amusement park are all the famous families and dignitaries of the United States, as well as the elites of Wall Street. As for ordinary people... good-looking men and women still have a chance. As for the life and death of others, the nobles don't care at all.

However, before the bureau chief could even settle into his seat, the office door was flung open with a bang, and his subordinate, his face grim, said:

"Chief, we're in trouble. A large number of civilians are driving towards Fort Detrick..."
