Tokyo: Parasite

Chapter 438: 208: Fall

"Thunberg is dead?"

Augustus was a little surprised to hear the news.

His death was not unexpected. His attempt to drag the entire human race back to primitive society was in itself a form of suicide.

Even as a partner, Augustus only chose to cooperate with the other party because he saw that the other party could not succeed and could give him a lot of help.

If Sandberg's plan had any hope of success, Augustus would not be able to provide assistance to the other party unless his strength had reached a point where no one could resist him even if they joined together.

But this is basically impossible, and he believes that the "Lord" would not want to see such an development.

What I didn't expect was that he would die so soon.

He left Heath and Xavier there to help.

It was unexpected that the war ended in just five days after it officially started.

"The news was released by Lord Wolf, who said he was ready to withdraw from the city and abandon all violent means of war. If Bush Sr. agrees, he will arrange for someone to sign the treaty."

After learning the news, Heath immediately rolled up his bedding, completely destroyed all traces inside the headquarters, and took his men to the Northern Alliance's safe house.

He came to Japan alone to find Augustus.

This was also what Augustus had ordered in advance, because if Sandberg died, no one would know whether he told the Wolf Lord before his death that it was their Soul Assembly that cooperated to injure him.

"It should be more than just the death of Thornburg. Even if Lord Wolf took the antidote immediately and eliminated his hatred for humans, there is no need for him to actively seek peace. Forget it. These are not important now."

Augustus had no intention of continuing to explore further.

The most important thing at the moment is the false God who may break out of his cocoon at any time.

As time went by, the silver-grey surface of the moon cocoon began to show a moon desert texture, which continued to spread on the cocoon shell. The originally flowing golden halo gradually solidified into a glassy moon sea, as if
It's like a smooth lunar surface without craters.

But starting from yesterday, this "terrestrial moon" began to vibrate regularly, and each vibration would form a pit or a crater on its surface.

What's even more outrageous is that researchers discovered that the cocoon actually had a weak gravitational force and began to pull the tides, causing the sea water around Iki Island to rise and fall abnormally.

It is now certain that the shape of the lunar cocoon evolved towards the appearance of the moon.

And as the lunar cocoon achieves complete synchronization with the shape of the moon, it is probably the moment to break out of the cocoon.

Both the Special Affairs Bureau and the Heaven Node can make some guesses on this point.

As for the use of nuclear weapons, because of the previous bad "results", many people think that nuclear weapons will not have much effect on such top-level extraordinary beings. In addition, Yuejian has reflected kinetic weapons before, so no one knows whether the energy of a nuclear explosion can also be reflected.

However, despite this, the Special Affairs Bureau still set up a nuclear explosion defense line around the Moon Cocoon using hydrogen bombs borrowed from three great benefactors.

No matter what, it is the main weapon of mankind at present, and it may be useful.

Augustus didn't know the current situation of Jingquan and the others' fusion, but the brightness of the two moons in the past few nights changed quite obviously, and no one knew what was happening there.

In the deep universe.

Not too far from the moon, a figure seemed to be at an arbitrary node in the long river of time, curled up with his knees hugged, his face young at one moment and old at another, his body changing from an adult to a baby the next.

During this process, they saw many complicated scenes. Some planets were torn apart by the mighty force and turned into stardust. The cores that had not yet cooled were scattered on the starry sky, which was tragic and gorgeous.

There are holy angels and gods guarding the high heaven, and the gods of unknown age picked up the sacred weapon and pointed it at heaven;

There are suns that erupt with magnificent and merciless prominences that engulf planets.

As this chaotic scene was engraved in the memory one after another, the invisible godhead finally took shape, with a silver-white color, slowly settling between the eyebrows of the figure.

And the young, newborn, incomplete god opened His eyes.

I saw that the moon in front of me seemed to have split an eye and was staring at me, with countless emotions in the eyes.

【False God】

A voice of thought was accurately transmitted to His ears.

Afterwards, the moon no longer looked at her. The moon emitted strong vibrations visible to the naked eye, and the part of the spherical surface that had been torn apart showed signs of tearing again.

The moon dust and gravel scattered into the space, and from the torn gaps, fine particles similar to ordinary gravel appeared. When the number increased, they gathered together and turned into a red color, like the blood of the gods, the red dust of the moon.

That is
He saw it clearly.

They were strange "balls of flesh and blood" with a wrinkled epidermis formed by the interweaving of dark red collagen fibers and chitin layers, a membranous structure similar to that of giant alveoli, covered with a translucent mucus membrane and purple-black blood vessel bundles, with several tentacle-like tails dragging from the back.

Each one is about the size of a car. These lumps of flesh and blood spurted out from the cracks densely, as if rushing towards the distant earth with an unstoppable determination.

He had not yet completed his transformation, and could only calmly watch as the flesh and blood moved further and further away from the moon, like dense artillery shells, moving towards the earth at a speed that was not fast in the universe.

He gently closed his eyes and paid no more attention.

Only by completing the transformation as quickly as possible can we put an end to all this - including the moon.

At the same time, the Space Surveillance Network Division of the America Space Command.

Because of the war with the Kingdom of Nature and the state of division.

Most of the personnel have been transferred to more important parts at present. For example, there are only a few people left in the space monitoring department, who often have to take on multiple duties.

If the moon hadn't seemed to be moving strangely recently, their number would have been even smaller.

"Is this data a moonquake? Or an internal eruption of the moon?!"

The instrument sent out an abnormal alarm, and the phased array radar discovered abnormal substances sprayed from the moon. The researchers excitedly began to check whether NASA had sent any new moonquake data.

"The interior of the moon erupted? Are you crazy or am I? It's better to say that it was hit by a meteorite."

My colleague's first reaction was disbelief. Everyone knows that the interior of the moon has almost cooled down, so how can it still have the energy to erupt?

"Look for yourself. I'll go find my boss." The researcher put down the data and rushed to report. His colleague picked up the data curiously and looked at it carefully.

"Honey Crab! There's definitely something fishy about this mass migration!"

In less than an hour, the lunar spray was picked up by deep space radar arrays.

The researchers quickly reported it and identified through the Doppler effect that the initial speed of the mysterious cluster of objects was about one kilometer per second. Considering the subsequent influence of the earth's gravity, this speed will only get faster and faster.

This abnormal phenomenon quickly attracted great attention and further observations were arranged.

Before long, the infrared early warning satellite system detected that the trajectory of these things was obvious, and they seemed to be heading towards the earth.

The optical observatory immediately participated in the observation and conducted spectral analysis on these unidentified targets. After repeated confirmation, an outrageous conclusion was finally reached. "You mean, the moon suddenly sprayed out some unknown substances, and the target trajectory was clearly and unusually pointing towards us. After spectral analysis, characteristic absorption peaks of porphyrin compounds and chitin shells were found. Do you suspect that this is an alien biological weapon?!"

"Yes, Mr. President," the aide added, "this is the result of careful and multiple analyses."

“What the hell.”

Bush Sr. regrets it now, very much.

Whoever wants to sit in this crappy seat can do so!
Why is it that every day there are either supernatural beings causing trouble or alien invasions? Can he ever return to normal life? Is this still the familiar Earth in his memory?

He hasn't been able to unify the divided country, and the Kingdom of Nature has invaded again. Now, just when there are signs of peace, the alien supernatural beings have come again.

It's only because we are in a war now, otherwise he would really want to quit.

"It may not be aliens. Considering the current Moon Cocoon incident in Japan and the preliminary estimate that the crash site is in the Japanese archipelago, it is likely that this is Japan's 'supernatural internal affairs'."

The staff came up with this new word innovatively.

Extraordinary internal affairs! Since it is internal affairs, then they don’t have to be responsible, right?

As long as these damn things don't fall on their heads.

Anyway, Japan should be used to these minor disasters by now, right?

Just a little bit of wind and frost.

As expected, all the gifts have already been marked with prices. The more extraordinary power you get, the greater the price you have to pay.

If he can't even deal with so many extraordinary people in Japan, he is ready to go directly into the family's underground shelter. From then on, the Earth will enter the era of survivors.

"That's right. Calculate the trajectory of those things as soon as possible and make sure they landed on the Japanese archipelago. Then report it to the Japanese officials. If they need support, then go find the Walton family!"

Bush Sr. made the decision and will never take responsibility for this responsibility that does not belong to him.

Anyway, he had tried to win over Japan before, but the people there actually believed that separatist forces were the orthodox, so he gave up after failing.

Compared to America's plan to stay out of the matter, the Japanese officials are feeling very nervous.

"How many of these alien weapons do they expect to have?"

"Tens of thousands."

The Acting Prime Minister covered his heart with his hands, his eyes wrinkled in pain, he let out a painful whimper, and slumped in his chair.

"Prime Minister! Prime Minister!"

"Quick, quick, call a doctor!"

The office suddenly became a mess.

After a while.

"What? I take over as interim prime minister?!" The Chief Cabinet Secretary spat out a mouthful of tea.

"Yes, sir." The subordinate who reported the incident did not show any joy on his face, but rather a bitter expression. "Prime Minister Aso is now unable to handle daily affairs due to a sudden heart attack, so the interim prime minister position has to fall on you, sir."

"What caused his heart attack?" Koizumi asked urgently, without any joy on his face.

"Because... this." The subordinate handed over a document.

Koizumi took it and read it quickly, and was immediately numb.

Tens of thousands of alien weapons are coming from the moon to the Japanese archipelago, and are expected to cover the entire country. The arrival time - less than two days!
It’s so spicy, Japan is going to be gone.

The total number of anti-aircraft missiles in the entire Japan is less than 10,000.

What the hell, that guy Aso is definitely acting!
Maybe he has already boarded the fleeing plane.

"Find, find Noguchi Takeshi! Tell him I am willing to nominate him as the new Prime Minister!"

Okay, okay, you all like to shirk responsibility, right? Then don’t blame me for turning the table over!
From now on, this country should simply be named Noguchi! I am Noguchi's loyal follower!
He finally saw clearly that Japan could no longer be governed by that group of old bugs. Only by entering the extraordinary society could there be new hope.

The temporary command post of the Special Affairs Bureau near the Moon Cocoon.

As the de facto controller of Japan at present, Noguchi received the relevant information earlier than the official.

He was also very sure that such an attack was related to the Moon Cocoon.

Perhaps those things that attacked were just fireworks set off by the moon to celebrate its breaking out of its cocoon.

"At present, we predict that the most likely ones are the Moon Filth, or they may be enhanced Moon Filth. The number may be tens of thousands." Saga shook his head slightly, feeling suffocated by this terrifying number.

"Based on our optimistic estimate of how many targets our interception system can intercept if it is fully combat-ready?" Noguchi asked Takashima.

Gao Dao opened the tablet and quickly glanced at the corresponding data: "Taking into account kinetic energy, directed energy, and nuclear interception, the optimistic estimate is that we can destroy about 5,000 of those things before they fall."

"But nuclear interception could cause more than 70% of low-Earth orbit satellites to be destroyed within six months, and communication and navigation systems would be affected for a long time. The international community would not approve of this approach,"

"If we can predict the landing point more accurately and deploy the Phalanx close-in defense system in advance, with sufficient supplies, we may be able to increase the number to 7,000."

"As long as we don't use nuclear interception, there are many countries in the world that should be able to provide us with assistance. Of course, we don't have the ability to conduct independent nuclear interception at present."

Noguchi closed his eyes and thought about his response strategy.

But after thinking about it, he actually had few choices and all the strategies were basically laid out in front of him because the time left for him was too short.

It is nothing more than intercepting as many as possible to reduce the number of those falling, and assuming that those falling will be the Moon Filth, so that the people can be protected in advance.

What can be thought of is the opening of strategic facilities such as the outer drainage channel of the metropolitan area and the Osaka Umeda underground city, immediately converting suspended subway lines into temporary shelters, and converting highly defensive facilities such as gymnasiums, military camps, and schools into on-site defense strongholds.

But these places can actually only protect a small number of people.

Not to mention that no one knows where it will land now.

And more people can only rely on themselves.

This is not like the Tokyo Demon incident, where there was a clear scope and time, and they were able to mobilize other safe areas to share and relieve pressure to a certain extent.

This was a disaster that affected the whole of Japan. In fact, it was not the biggest disaster. Perhaps it was just the foreplay of the moon cocoon breaking out.

"In half a day, prepare shelters across the country to receive people and maintain order as much as possible. Announce the situation and let people make their own choices."

"This will be the most expensive meteor shower in human history."
