Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Catastrophe of Destruction
The news of a large-scale attack on the city of Kyoto came around two o'clock in the evening.
At that time, the large-scale fighting that had affected almost every corner of Kyoto City had gradually stopped, and the heavy rain and raging floods forced the fierce Yakuza to retreat home. The gunfire and firelight finally faded away at midnight, and the city seemed to have finally regained its semblance of calm—except for the torrential rain that poured down from the sky and the rising flood with a loud noise.
Citizens who have been frightened all day can finally put aside their fears for a while, or gently coax the child in their arms who had been crying all day, or cook a few sushi to comfort their frightened hearts, or get up and pray for the blessing of the god of Orosho to never make any more major events tomorrow, or plan how to go to work tomorrow. And those who are particularly timid are considering whether to leave this insecure city altogether......
Of course, in this country where there is never a shortage of otaku and otaku, people who always like to stay at home are finally in the mood to come out at this time.
Koji Matsushita is such an otaku.
This skinny young man, who was only 24 years old but pale because he never went out, got up from the bed full of toilet paper, opened the bucket of instant noodles piled up everywhere, sat down in front of the computer weakly, and clicked on a link to a well-known small movie website.
After being scared all day during the day, and now that it was raining heavily, he finally couldn't hear the terrifying gunshots, and Kojio Matsushita decided to spend the next time enjoying the latest romantic action movie of the most well-known actress on this site, if possible...... Koji Matsushita laughed obscenely and obscenely.
The link to the website opened, but to the surprise of Koji Matsushita, what appeared on the computer screen was not the usual actresses full of seductive gestures and ecstatic moans, but directly popped up a huge pop-up window that almost filled the entire screen, and the content inside was even more inexplicable - between the mountains, a crazy flood, along the narrow river, with a huge sound rushing down.
"What the hell is this?" Koji Matsushita muttered dissatisfiedly, could it be that the way to open it was wrong? He clicked his mouse, ready to close the pop-up window.
However, his fingers, just as he was about to press the left mouse button, stopped abruptly. Staring blankly at the scene of the flood raging, listening to the shocking news in his ears, Koji Matsushita's mouth opened wide, and it took a while for him to let out an exclamation.
"Oh Teru Okami—"
The same exclamation soon resounded in all corners of Kyoto City. With this exclamation, more and more people quickly turned on the TV, clicked on the computer web page, and lit up the mobile phone screen. No matter what medium, no matter what media, no matter what organization, they are all playing the same picture and transmitting the same voice.
"Right now, our location is at the Mogawa Reservoir northwest of Kyoto!" As the torrential rain around the reservoir had stopped, a reporter lifted off his raincoat and hat over his head and shouted hoarsely amid the roaring sound of the flood: "About two hours ago, the dam burst suddenly, and the flood that spread throughout Kyoto came from here!" ”
As the reporter's finger points behind him, the television camera points down from a mountain peak to the rushing water below.
As the camera progressed, people realized that this area was the Mogawa Reservoir, one of the most famous tourist attractions in Kyoto, that is, Lake Owaden.
But now, the calm, blue surface of the lake is gone, replaced by a raging flood with a yellow, muddy color. The majestic dam that used to stand between the mountains is gone, and the surging flood frantically laps the rocks on both sides, rolling up huge waves and pouring down from the top of the dam that was supposed to be the mainstay!
"The Mochuan Reservoir has failed?" All those who heard the news simply couldn't believe their ears. Isn't it one of the most stable buildings in the Empire thanks to the use of countless new materials, new technologies, and years of constant maintenance and repair? How could a dam fail without warning? Moreover, there are quite a few troops stationed near the dam! Don't......
"According to the data we got from the water department, the reservoir is currently holding 80% of the total storage capacity due to the flood season, which means that more than 1 billion cubic meters of water will rush to Kyoto from here......" The reporter's voice trembled and his face turned pale when he said this figure.
Everyone was stunned when they looked at the reporter who was momentarily stunned, at the monstrous flood behind him, and at the numbers that made people almost unconceptual.
1 billion cubic meters, such a huge amount of water, means that even if there are 10,000 square kilometers of land, the average inch of land will withstand floods more than one meter high! The total area of Kyoto City is less than 3,000 square kilometers, and the total area of more than 10 large and medium-sized cities and hundreds of small towns in the entire Kyoto metropolitan area is only 13,400 square kilometers.
Extinction!
The sword of Damocles, which has been hanging over the head of Kyoto and worried by many experts, has finally come down, which is a monstrous disaster!
However, the matter is not over yet, the camera, the pale reporter seems to have suddenly heard something, holding the microphone in his right hand and pressing his left hand on the headset.
"What? What the? How is it possible, this can't be! The reporter's words began to turn upside down, and there was a look of horror on his face.
What's going on again? Looking at the reporter's face, it was as if he had heard some shocking news, but what news would be more shocking than the collapse of the Mogawa Reservoir and the imminent flooding of the entire Kyoto metropolitan area?
People stared blankly at the screen in front of them, and after a long time, the reporter with no blood on his face slowly spoke.
According to the information we received from the military department, "I don't know if it was because of fear or anger, the reporter's hand could barely hold the microphone, ** gloomy and terrifying:" Mochuan Reservoir, it was blown up by the enemy, and in addition to going to the city to help quell the riots, the defenders stationed at the dam have already broken along with the dam......"
"Boom!" The reporter's words were as if a small nuclear bomb had been detonated, and the entire city of Kyoto, including the entire Jeppen Empire, was stunned by the news.
"Who is it? Who exactly? Countless people slammed their remote controls, water glasses, or other gadgets on the TV in front of them and roared angrily.
However, as if the people were not stimulated enough, the reporter shuddered and said something that made everyone's hearts cold.
"It's not just the Mokawa Reservoir that has been attacked, the latest news, the Kyoto underground drainage system and the Kyoto No. 1 Waterworks have been attacked on a large scale and have been completely destroyed," the reporter obviously hesitated for a moment, and said slowly, "At the same time, there is also the military intelligence headquarters of the Jiepeng Defense Province!" ”
Amazed. Everyone was speechless, listening blankly to the reporter's mechanical voice, "Now, let's hand over the picture to another ......"
Before the reporter finished speaking, the TV picture was already forced to switch to another scene without waiting.
Then, everyone who stood in front of the television saw a hellish sight that they would never forget.
