Millions of Earth's doomsday scenario? It doesn't matter if the government intervenes.
Chapter 29 Where is the Lighthouse?
On the other side of the Earth, in the Federation of Mi, in Seattle.
Outside the window, a strong wind swept across the glass, carrying snowflakes and cold, icy rain.
"Recently, due to the devastating floods across the United States, a large-scale epidemic has broken out in the country, with experts estimating that tens of thousands of people are being infected with the plague every day."
Furthermore, with the movement of the population, the plague in the Federation is spreading from America to the rest of the world.
The great President of the Union publicly stated that this was all due to those unclean illegal immigrants who brought the virus into the Union…
Upon hearing this broadcast on the radio, Aizhe's expression suddenly became tense.
He wasn't worried about being in the epicenter of the pandemic, but rather about his homeland and family across the ocean.
"It's spreading globally... Damn, I hope my hometown gets hit too?"
Ai Zhe hurriedly sent a text message to his family to inquire.
At this time, the United States was experiencing the worst blizzard in its history. The power system within the Federation was already somewhat outdated, and now, under the ravages of the blizzard, widespread power outages and signal interruptions had become the norm.
Now that he can't even watch TV and can only receive the news on the radio, it's a luxury for Aizhe to see his family again via video call.
All Aizhe could do was compose text messages again and again, press the send button, and silently pray that at least one message would reach his family back home.
Finally, half an hour later, the phone screen lit up with a reply from her mother.
Ai Zhe clicked on it almost immediately.
"Xiao Zhe, don't worry, everything is fine at home."
The city of Dajiang, where the incident first occurred due to illegal immigration, and several surrounding areas are now under lockdown, while shelters in other cities remain unaffected.
Our government has arranged everything properly for us ordinary people; all we need to do is not cause trouble for the country and our comrades.
Upon seeing this text message, Aizhe immediately felt relieved.
"That's great... thankfully, my hometown is reliable."
Just as Aizhe breathed a sigh of relief, her mother sent her a second text message.
"Xiao Zhe, is the epidemic under control in the Federation?"
"Is things really alright where you are? I heard from Aunt Zhou next door that the federal government isn't doing well anymore, it's not as good as China anymore. Mom is really worried about you. When can you come back?"
When Aizhe saw this message, he closed his eyes and his Adam's apple bobbed.
He is currently experiencing great inner turmoil.
Because the Federation is indeed rotten to the core, just as my mother heard. The number of Gundams that have frozen to death or died of disease in the hospital has reached the point where they can't be collected anymore. You can imagine how many people have died during this period.
But state governments are still playing dumb, claiming that everything is normal in the country.
A slight chill is just a normal seasonal change; we refuse to accept the cruel reality that the end of the world has arrived.
They even bury their heads in the sand when faced with a global apocalypse; how can we expect those incompetent officials to fight a pandemic?
Unfortunately, no matter how bad the Federation is, Aizhe still has to say a few good words for him, because as a son, he can't let his mother back home worry.
So Aizhe paused for a few seconds before his fingertips touched the screen and he began sending the text message:
"Mom, don't worry."
The Federation is a little behind the country now... but it's not too bad. It's not as bad as people say. After all, it's the world's beacon of light, haha...
After sending the text message with a wry smile, Aizhe rubbed his hair.
Then a loud shout was heard from next door.
"Fuck! Fuck! The utility bills are more than ten times higher than last month! Are the energy company people crazy?!"
Next door to Aizhe, his roommate Danny sat stiffly in front of the screen, staring at an email from "Seaar United Energy Company" on his computer.
He slammed his fist on the table in anger and roared:
"The federal officials... they're a bunch of devils who'd suck the marrow from people's bones to make money!"
"Look outside! Look at this damn snowy landscape!"
Businesses are collapsing en masse, docks and construction sites are frozen like graveyards, and half the population in the entire federal government has lost their jobs, been evicted from their homes for not being able to pay property taxes, and are waiting to die in this hellish weather of minus twenty or thirty degrees Celsius!
We pay so much tax money to support those parasites who sit comfortably on Capitol Hill, counting their votes! To support those insurance giants and real estate bloodsuckers!
Ordinary people work themselves to the bone, only to find they can't even save enough for heating and are left to die!
Hearing Danny's roar from outside, Aizhe remained silent for a moment, then pushed open his door and said:
"Danny, I'll cover all the water, electricity, and gas bills for this trip."
I know you've lost your job and are under a lot of pressure, afraid of ending up on the streets... but you helped me a lot when I first came to the United States, and I'll help you now."
"Oh... God!"
Danny let out a choked sigh, covered his face, rubbed it a few times, and when he put it down, his eyes were even redder.
"Zhe...brother...thank you! Really...I can only say that God hasn't completely abandoned me, that I can share an apartment with such a good person like you!"
Danny stammered, took a step forward, opened his arms, and hugged Aja tightly.
I will try my best to find a job as soon as possible!
No, I absolutely must find a job... shoveling snow, carrying loads, breaking ice at the docks, I'll do anything.
I absolutely cannot become a homeless person on the streets, otherwise I definitely won't survive three days!
Danny's tall frame trembled with fear.
In the past, many people in the United States became homeless every year due to illness or unemployment.
But as long as there is no addiction to enhancers, it is not necessarily the end, or that they will die in the streets within two or three years.
But now that the Ice Age is coming, homeless people without shelter will freeze to death within a day or two!
This is why Danny is now terrified after losing his job; he is afraid that he will not be able to pay his bills and will be kicked out of his shared apartment by Aja.
Aizhe nodded to Danny without saying anything more.
He put on two thick coats and a mask before going out.
Danny knew what Aja was going to do next.
Aizhe owns a lamb offal shop and has recently been collaborating with a temple on relief efforts.
This helped many children and the elderly in the community, and also made Aizhe, an Asian, respected by everyone.
"Zhe...you're such a good person."
"I heard that there are many people like Zhe at the University of Tokyo, and they address each other as comrades."
The people of Tokyo University live in shelters filled with heating and food every day under their protection, without worrying about freezing or starving to death. I really envy them.
In this apocalyptic world, Tokyo University is practically the legendary Promised Land of God, flowing with honey and wine…
Danny turned to look out the window at the snow-covered, deathly silent street. After a long while, he added in an almost inaudible voice:
"Perhaps Tokyo University is the beacon in this terrible era, while the United States Federation is no longer one."
