Nuke Miko: Chronicles of America

What kind of insane surreal unfolding is this?It is estimated that there will be no cerebral thrombosis in ten years, and I will never think of such a strange picture!

Then came the great earthquake that occurred in Los Angeles on June 6, which not only destroyed the old city center of Los Angeles, but also cut off water and electricity in the second largest city in the United States and the largest city in California with a population of tens of millions.For the first time since World War II, the West Coast's busiest city that never sleeps has lost its dazzling luster.

What's more terrible is that the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach were completely paralyzed as a result, the import and export logistics of half of the United States came to a standstill, and prices began to soar.

The U.S. stock market had just melted down five times in a row in March and April, and the Fed had to print money frantically and release $[-] trillion to rescue the market.

If there is a new stock market circuit breaker, or even the Great Depression, because of such a stupid port congestion... then what should I do?

Therefore, in this election year with intense struggles, the two parties on Capitol Hill and the White House did not hold each other back on this matter, but miraculously reached an agreement-even if it is to invest in the military, the port of Los Angeles must be restored as soon as possible Operation, dredging the main artery of international import and export trade!

And the result was the catastrophic supernatural event in downtown Los Angeles last night—three divisions of the U.S. military collapsed directly, plus the sinking of 50 tons of ships and the death of at least tens of thousands of people... Pearl Harbor, the damage caused was not so serious!

Today, even standing on the top of Catalina Island, you can clearly see the soaring plumes of smoke rising from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach across the sea!

It is conceivable that California will definitely have wildfires this summer!

What's more, Governor Newsom has no idea how to deal with such a supernatural disaster in Los Angeles.

——In addition to calling acquaintances on Capitol Hill, the CIA, and the Pentagon to repeatedly ask, is there any S.H.I.E.L.D. To get a bunch of negative answers.

What can I do now?Who should be allowed to suppress the evil spirits?Let the priest sprinkle holy water?

But last night's military chaplains were also killed!

Moreover, will these evil spirits that broke out in Los Angeles continue to spread and expand towards San Francisco and San Diego?

Let the whole of California fall, or even the whole of the United States?Oh, this really makes me more anxious the more I think about it!

In short, Governor Newsom feels that his whole body is trapped in the meat grinder of disaster, and the sharp teeth are grinding him down!

Fortunately, it seems that there is a glimmer of hope hidden in all desperate situations.

Just when Governor Newsom was almost desperate to the point of madness, his wife Jennifer managed to escape on a luxury cruise ship "Isabel" that had been attacked by evil spirits, and brought Governor Newsom a group of rumors. A "supernatural expert" with "real skills".

These include a Japanese priestess who possesses supernatural powers, and three sisters she recruited in the United States, a talking black cat and a living black cat girl Serena, a lucky guy from China and a bunch of cats. ...uh, flying spaghetti?

Through the window of the office, I looked at the "God of Flying Noodles" floating above the courtyard, as well as a group of curious onlookers below, maids, bodyguards and government staff, as well as Chen Qiuhan, the "God of Flying Noodles" floating in the air to promote teachings ...Governor Newsom couldn't help but have twitching veins on his forehead.

Why is it not angels, or even Superman and Iron Man, who descended on California, but this weird thing made by such a young man?

Is it necessary to pay homage to the noodles in the future?

Moreover, why did the first voters of this modernist religion started by Americans be students studying abroad in Red China?

But fortunately, although this lump of flying noodles seems to make people lose their SAN value, at least the teachings are very gentle, basically the same as nothing.

Out of basic courtesy, Governor Newsom decided to eat pasta for lunch today, and took the time to listen to the Chinese man's sermon.

Next, he sighed, turned his eyes back into the house, looked at Akiyama Hui who was concentrating on arranging the salt pile, and couldn't help asking, "...uh...Miss Akiyama, are you using salt to drive my office away? Devil?"

PS: I deeply mourn the death of Fujiko Fujio No. 2. I always thought that the two authors of Doraemon had died long ago, but I didn’t expect that one of them is still alive.

But I remember that someone on this site seems to have written about Nobi Nobita traveling back to the real world of Japan, visiting the Doraemon Memorial Hall, and being told that his "creator" has passed away.

Looking back now, probably the author also forgot that Fujiko Fujio was still alive.

In short, the future Doraemon will completely become a posthumous work.

Chapter 107, The governor's luck

"...Yes, Mr. Governor, in many Eastern and Western legends, salt is a holy thing that can be used to drive away evil spirits.

In fact, it is groundless and not necessarily without reason. In the world of occultism, salt can indeed be used to exorcise demons, although the use is actually very small. "

While explaining to Governor Newsom, Akiyama Hui continued to arrange the salt pile in a corner of this office according to a specific method, "...ordinary salt has a very weak exorcism effect, and at most it can affect the newly born weak An evil thing, a ghost with a little fierceness will not be afraid of it.

However, although the effect of exorcism is very small, for ordinary people without magic power, salt is a very suitable indicator-just like litmus will turn blue when it encounters alkali, as long as an evil thing passes by, Then the salt placed nearby reacts...specifically blackening.

Well, so, sir, as long as this snow-white pile of salt remains undiscolored, your office is safe from evil spirits infiltrating or prying in.

Regrettably, in the past, except for a very small number of great nobles and monarchs, the vast majority of people could not afford refined salt alarms..."

"...Can't even afford to use salt? How is that possible?" Governor Newsom laughed dumbfounded.

"...Hey, Mr. Governor, don't look down on refined salt! Now it's only 200 years before ordinary people can afford such refined salt! Those ancient people used to eat black salt mixed with mud and sand, even if It is a relatively wealthy family, and the salt they eat is also yellow."

Akiyama Hui curled his lips and said, "...that kind of black and yellow coarse salt, even if it turns black when encountering evil spirits, ordinary people can't see it with naked eyes.

As for the snow-white refined salt that can be used as an indicator of evil power, if it existed in ancient times, it would be sold more expensive than silver of equal weight.

Therefore, using salt to detect evil spirits seems simple and convenient, but in ancient times it was an extraordinary luxury..."

"...Uh, it seems that there is such a thing... It seems that we all have to thank the advancement of technology..."

Governor Gavin Newsom vaguely recalled the long-forgotten history textbook, and then his eyes flashed, and he said this meaningfully.

"...Yes, the times are advancing, technology has turned the whole world upside down, and mysticism also has to keep pace with the times."

Akiyama Hui said calmly, turned around and came to the small sofa, reached out and lifted the black cat goddess Buster who was dozing on the sofa, and then sat down, "...So, Mr. Governor, do you want to talk to me? What are you talking about? Is there anything I, a high school girl, can do for you?"

Eh?Why this attitude?Don't have any subjective initiative to save the suffering?

At this time, according to the routine of Hollywood movies, shouldn’t a heroine superhero like you say something beautifully like “with great power comes great responsibility” and take the responsibility of saving Los Angeles and even the United States on your shoulders? On your own shoulders?

All I have to say is "California people will never forget you" and "everyone will thank you for your efforts" and that's it...

Governor Newsom couldn't help complaining so secretly in his heart.

Although he also knew that reality would never be as perfect as in the movies, but he still hoped that a savior would descend from the sky.

Not only to rescue the suffering, to save the people from the misery, but also to hide their identities, not to seek fame or gain, and it is best to take the scapegoat away, so that politicians like them can relax-but now it seems that such a delusion is really a dream... …

So, don't let someone who is ready to sing a bad face come out, question whether this disaster is related to her, and ask her to prove her innocence.

Otherwise, if the talk really collapses, then I really don't know who to turn to to clean up the current mess: but this ghost disaster can't let it go!

——Sir Humphrey's four-step strategy in "Yes, Minister" can only be used when it is certain that the disaster will not expand infinitely.

Otherwise, doing so would be tantamount to appeasement in the face of Hitler, and one day the tracks of the Tiger tank would be crushed into one's own home.

In addition, Governor Newsom thought about it carefully and found that even if he wanted to forcibly throw the pot away, the Japanese female high school student opposite him couldn't bear it at all.

It is impossible for the national public opinion to support himself in blaming a small Japanese girl for this catastrophe, which is larger than the Pearl Harbor incident.

Especially the golden-haired fat man with top traffic in the White House would laugh at himself as a clown among clowns.

Governor Newsom sighed, adjusted his mentality slightly, and ordered the secretary to bring a cup of black tea to Akiyama Hui, "...Miss Akiyama, you must be very clear about the supernatural events currently happening in Los Angeles. Regarding how to solve this problem, Do you have any opinions and suggestions?"

sex

"...The so-called evil spirits are the resentful spirits of the dead. When a living person dies after suffering great pain, there is a certain probability that they will turn into evil spirits."

Holding the teacup, Qiu Shanhui talked eloquently, "...these are common sense in occultism, as long as anyone who has watched a few supernatural dramas knows it.

As for why there were very few such haunted things in the past, and even if there were ghosts occasionally, it was not too serious, but now the evil spirits in Los Angeles are so troublesome... It is of course because the times have changed—the frequent occurrences since this year The red moon is the most obvious sign.

In the words of our East Asians, this is "resurrection of spiritual energy", and in the words of the United States, it is "the return of the stars, the awakening of the gods".

Then, when the gods returned, those demons, Xie Chong, also came back together, allowing humans to experience those ancient horrors again.

In addition to the evil spirits currently raging in Los Angeles, the [zombies] who were infected with the COVID-19 virus may also be caused by the recovery of aura, and there will probably be more and more things like this in the future. I hope you, Mr. Governor You can be mentally prepared..."

"...The stars return to their place? Is this the concept of Cthulhu Mythos? Hey, these concepts of setting can be considered slowly in the future."

Governor Newsom, who is a Catholic, was very resistant to this kind of ghost theory, and it was still a non-Christian theory of ghosts and gods. He asked what he was most concerned about: "...The most important thing now is, what should we do to eliminate these evil spirits that threaten Los Angeles and restore the order of the city?"

"...Actually, if you're lucky, you may not need to do anything. The evil spirit from last night has already dissipated under today's sunlight."

Akiyama Megumi waved his hands and replied, giving the governor an answer that surprised him, "...just like the zombies that only worked at night before."

"...Of course, if you are unlucky and the evil spirits come out again tonight, then you can only fight an extraordinary battle with them."

Immediately afterwards, Megumi Akiyama changed the topic again, "...I have three suggestions for you to choose from..."

However, Governor Newsom has completely refused to listen to her exorcism strategy, and only remembers the previous "maybe nothing needs to be done"...

Therefore, under the luck of the governor and a group of bureaucrats, the disaster of the evil spirit in Los Angeles was successfully dragged to the next day.

Chapter 108 Wait and see

Afternoon, June 6th, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills

This world-famous American veteran rich area has always been a top luxury place where every inch of land is expensive and rich people gather.

In Beverly Hills, entry-level small houses start at tens of millions of dollars, while manor-level villas cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

Walking into this place, there are classical or trendy palace buildings everywhere, blue infinity swimming pools, vast mountain and sea views, as well as small golf greens and palm trees that Los Angeles people like, making tourists from all over the world feel fascinated. I can't help but envy and sigh, admiring that this is the top luxury.

However, in Beverly Hills at this moment, there are suddenly countless camouflage military tents, the Stars and Stripes and the flag of the 40th Infantry Division "Sunshine Division" flying everywhere, as well as roaring tanks, armored vehicles, and trucks. And the ambulance came and went, even crushed the road.

Between ornate marble statues and 40-foot-tall Canary Island palms, weary soldiers hung up hammocks, erected aerials, and deployed field kitchens.The exquisite golf course is filled with military vehicles, leaving wheel and track marks like dogs have chewed on them.

In those clear fountains and ponds, not only military dogs sticking out their tongues were having fun, but also soldiers who took off their military boots were washing their stinky feet.

Hey, the so-called "burning the piano and cooking the crane" is probably nothing more than that.

There are also many Hollywood stars' mansions, which were forcibly requisitioned by the National Guard to serve as barracks, warehouses and field hospitals, and the soldiers even ate and took, taking out all the drinks and valuable ingredients stored in the mansion. To appease their terrified hearts—anyway, the homeowners have all fled.

Even if the "Corona" epidemic did not run away at the beginning of the outbreak, after the earthquake on June 6, these life-saving rich people had to run away.

Even if a few housekeepers, maids and bodyguards who were left to look at the house stood up and wanted to make a theory, but they were shot on the head by the muzzle of the American soldier, they had no choice but to be honest, and then tried to find a way to call the owner. At the same time, write this matter down in a small notebook without mentioning it.

A certain Italian-style palace mansion worth 40 million US dollars is now requisitioned as the headquarters of the [-]th Infantry Division of the California National Guard. A group of US military generals in combat uniforms, as well as several Los Angeles sheriffs, are in the magnificent living room , discussing around a map table.

"...According to incomplete statistics, 35 people in our division were confirmed dead last night, 237 people were missing, and 420 people were injured, 22 of whom were seriously injured... Two helicopters crashed, 135 vehicles of various types were lost, and various Class firearms at least 1000 pieces.

In addition, the casualties and losses of the Marine Corps, Army Corps of Engineers and Coast Guard are not yet clear..."

Holding a military tablet computer, a young staff officer was sweating profusely reporting the loss of the "Evil Spirit Disaster" last night.

And listening to these shocking numbers, the officers present were depressed, as if they were being pressed against a heavy boulder.

——Although it is called the "National Guard", the 40th Infantry Division is not the "playing house" militia armed in the United States, but a veteran veteran who has fought in World War II and the Korean War until three years Before 2017, this division was still deployed in Afghanistan to fight security warfare.

But no matter which battle it was, the 40th Infantry Division had never suffered such a terrible loss like last night, nor had it collapsed so embarrassingly...

Of course, this is something that can’t be helped. No matter what army in the world it is, probably they don’t have the tactics and experience to fight against evil spirits, right?

But this feeling of depression that can only be beaten but unable to fight back is really unbearable for the arrogant US military.

"...The fires in the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach are still spreading, and it is beyond control and fighting. Firefighters are trying to dig the fire barrier, but there is a serious shortage of manpower and equipment, and the roads around the fire site have also been destroyed by fleeing civilians. Convoy jammed..."

Another staff officer went on to say, "...Considering the current weather, a wildfire spreading to the entire greater Los Angeles area may be inevitable."

For this bad news, everyone present has already expected it in their hearts - after all, at this moment, they don't even need to go out, as long as they stand on the terrace of this mansion in Beverly Hills, they can see the distant southern horizon A column of smoke rose from behind.

Of course, there is good news.

"...The two platoons sent to Venice Beach and Los Angeles International Airport (the hardest hit by the earthquake) for reconnaissance at [-] am have sent on-site reports.

They did not find any traces of evil spirits in the local area, but exchanged fire with a small number of thugs. After killing several people and capturing two people, they successfully arrived at the airport and joined a marine scout who had entered the airport earlier. No one was killed. Injured, awaiting further orders. "

A battalion commander came forward and reported, "...according to known information, the evil spirits in Los Angeles seem to be as afraid of the sun as in the movie..."

"... Very good, finally there is good news, let the scouts bring the prisoners back, and try to leave the dangerous area before dark."

The current commander of the 40th Infantry Division of the California National Guard and the first female infantry division commander in the history of the US military, Brigadier General Laura Yeager, 53, said with a tired face.

——Although it is often said that she has a mean face, much like Professor McGonagall in "Harry Potter", Laura Yeager neither turns into a cat nor understands magic, let alone thinks She thought that one day she would have to fight evil spirits... She never studied at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!

She's only ever driven a Black Hawk gunship, she's never ridden a broom!

At the same time, although her name is Laura, her surname is not Crawford, and she has no talent for destroying monuments and beating all kinds of monsters.

It's just that now that the ghosts in Los Angeles have already hit the door, Brigadier General Laura Yeager can only bite the bullet and fight.

Fortunately, just half a day after the attack, Governor Newsom had actually found a professional expert consultant in occultism.

And forwarded the "expert opinion" to Brigadier General Yeager's mobile phone.

"...the first piece of advice given by the experts is that the evil spirit can turn the salt black and be destroyed by lightning.

Therefore, as long as the soldiers bring a few bags of salt and equip them with tasers, they can effectively fight ghosts when they enter the ruins at night. "

The female division commander first put forward the first suggestion to fight ghosts, but the officers present all shook their heads, saying that this matter is difficult to handle.

——It’s already afternoon now, how could it be possible to get enough tasers to equip so many people in the whole division before dark?

Besides, the soldiers were frightened by the evil spirits last night. If they don't take a good rest, they won't be able to restore their morale in a while!
