For the people of this world, this was a very difficult time.
After the world was bombarded by nuclear bombs, the nuclear winter naturally came without hesitation. The people of Tawa City had yet to recover from the grief of losing their loved ones when they were forced to face the harsh winter and snowstorms.
Frankly speaking, Miao Miao Cheng and the others were a little confused by this situation. Although they were "super colonel-level", they were just a group of high school students after all. They might be able to talk back to Enoshima, but in the face of the harsh nature, even they could not do anything about it.
In this harsh environment, the original order of human beings had collapsed. There were even many people who took advantage of the chaos to commit crimes. Some people even tried to form small groups to rule the city.
Regarding this, Fangzheng thought to himself … Have you forgotten my existence?
If Fangzheng wasn't around, the tower and city might end up like places like New Vegas, where there would be a group of warlords trying to divide the city. But with Fangzheng here, you still want to play this game? Impossible. Keep dreaming.
Did you think I was an emperor for hundreds of years for nothing?
Therefore, Fangzheng decisively took action. He directly suppressed them with iron and blood. The funny thing was that those people were probably brainwashed by liberal democracy. They actually organized a crowd to protest …. But after Fangzheng caught the leaders and hung them on street lamps, they immediately shut up.
After that, Fangzheng occupied the city center of Tawa City and redivided it to give people enough living space. Of course, most of the people of Tawa City were willing to listen to Fangzheng's leadership and command. After all, they were not the unruly people of the Ice Age. They naturally knew that in this situation, a group of loose sand would only lead to their own destruction.
As for whether there would be people who wanted to resist?
Let's take a look at the Zerglings, Xenomorphs and Wyverns.
Most of the people following Fangzheng were people he had saved in Ta He City, and a considerable number of them were the parents of those brainwashed children. Ta and Zuo Zhong's original plan was to kill all the adults who had children first, and then leave the childless ones alive. That was because those who had never had children would have less sympathy for their children. When that happened, they would be more desperate and ruthless to kill each other.
However, due to Fangzheng's timely action, many of the parents survived. Of course, their mental states couldn't be said to be good. Some people even developed trauma after seeing their own children and were afraid of touching and approaching them.
Fortunately, Fangzheng still had a trump card.
It was time to invite the fifth LV5 superpower user of the school city, "Psychological Mastery" Bee-Eater Cao Qi!
"… Why do I feel like I've become a cult leader …"
Watching the howling snowstorm outside, Bee-eating Cao Qi held the coffee cup in her hand with a tired expression.
"Thank you for your hard work, but you did a good job, didn't you?"
"But I'm still depressed …."
Bee-eating Cao Qi lay on the table and watched as Fangzheng poured a new cup of coffee for her. She could not help but complain.
When Bee-eating Cao Qi first came here, she was full of confidence. In her opinion, as the number one psychic in Gakuen City, it would be a piece of cake for her to dispel the brainwashing.
In the end, when Bee-eating Cao Qi confidently peeked into the memories of both the brainwashed children and the persecuted parents, she almost broke down.
The extremely twisted malice made Bee-eating Cao Qi unable to spit it out. She felt as if her whole body had been dirtied ….
Not to mention, there were hundreds of thousands of children and their parents. If Bee-eating Cao Qi really followed her original plan and conducted psychological counseling one by one, she would probably break down before she could even finish.
Therefore, Bee-eating Cao Qi had no choice but to go to Fangzheng for help. Fangzheng gave her a suggestion – since they couldn't be dealt with, why not try religious brainwashing?
Strictly speaking, Bee-eating Cao Qi did not like this plan. As a psychic, she of course knew how powerful religious brainwashing was. In fact, Fangzheng did not like it either. If this was a normal world, he would not have done this. But the problem was that this world was already abnormal enough. These people were persecuted by the Shield of Enoshima. They killed their parents with their own hands or watched helplessly as their relatives were killed by the children.
This kind of mental trauma, even with psychological counseling and treatment, would take at least a generation to heal. But then came the nuclear apocalypse and the nuclear winter. With the current mental state of these people, it would be abnormal for them to remain normal under such circumstances.
In fact, some adults had formed groups to hunt the children after the nuclear winter. In their view, the hands of these children were stained with blood, so killing them now would save them food. Besides, they had hurt so many people, so they deserved to die. Killing them would not cause any remorse on their conscience ….
Therefore, under such circumstances, Fangzheng gave Bee-eating Cao Qi two suggestions.
First, brainwash them on a large scale, completely erase their memories of this incident, and then implant fake memories in them. As long as they kept quiet, everyone would pretend that nothing had happened. With Bee-eating Cao Qi's ability and Fangzheng's divine power, she could indeed completely erase the previous memories of these people. With a little editing, these people would forget about the despairing massacre that happened in Tawa City. They would just have to face the nuclear winter.
Or, she could use the religious spirit to brainwash them a second time to help them overcome this pain and continue living. Of course, the latter was much more troublesome than the former. For the former, with Fangzheng's power and Bee-eating Cao Qi's "psychological control", she could basically solve it in a morning. After that, everyone could continue living with their fake memories.
The latter was a painstaking process that required a long time. Even with the help of Bee-eating Cao Qi's superpower, she was not omnipotent ….
Fangzheng did not mind which option she chose, but Bee-eating Cao Qi felt that as a psychic, it was too shameful for her to use such a simple and crude method like erasing memories. Therefore, she chose the second option despite knowing that there was a tiger in the mountain.
The result was …. She lay on the table like a salted fish, unable to sit up.
"Alright, come, take a break and finish this cup of coffee. We still have to entertain guests in the afternoon."
"Entertain my ass!!"
Bee-eating Cao Qi slammed the table angrily.
"It's all your fault! You said we have to go to church in the morning and go to church in the evening. You don't know how uncomfortable it was standing there! I'm so tired! "
"Isn't this good? I can lose weight while I'm at it. "
Fangzheng chuckled. He picked up the coffee pot and put it aside, then sat back in his chair.
"But it's very effective. Everyone looks a lot more energetic now."
Sayaka of the Dance Garden hurriedly came out to comfort the incompetent and furious Bee-eating Cao Qi. As a "super college-level idol", Sayaka of the Dance Garden was also proficient in singing and dancing. However, given the current atmosphere, she naturally could not go out and hold a solo concert. Therefore, under Fangzheng's arrangement, Sayaka of the Dance Garden was responsible for leading the hymns ….
Of course, the song was also chosen by Fangzheng. It mainly calmed the listeners down and made them more relaxed.
However, the "Hymns Heavenly Band" was not bad. The accompanist was "super college-level pianist" Akamatsu Kaede, and the lead singer was "super college-level idol" Sayaka of the Dance Garden. The effect was naturally excellent.
By the way, "super college-level light music band" Yuichi Kuroda also wanted to participate, but he was decisively stopped by Fangzheng. Big sis, don't show off your electric guitar playing skills in this kind of situation. Go to a pub and stir up the atmosphere ….
Of course, perhaps it was because she had sung too many hymns, Sayaka of the Dance Garden was now giving off the aura of a salted fish that stood aloof from worldly affairs ….
It would be troublesome if she was brainwashed into it ….
"Knock knock knock."
At that moment, there was a knock on the door. The door to the study opened and Misty Chimera walked in. She looked at Fangzheng sitting behind the table and handed him a piece of paper with a serious expression.
"Mr. Fangzheng, this is the investigation report."
"Thank you."
Fangzheng took the report and read it carefully. It had been almost half a year since the "nuclear explosion" incident. Under Fangzheng and Bee-Eating Cao Qi's tidying up, the entire Ta He City had more or less returned to its original order. Of course, Ta He City was no longer called Ta He City. Fangzheng gave it a new name — Diamond City.
Anyway, it's radiation, isn't it?
It was already good enough that it was not called Megaton Town.
If he could get his hands on an aircraft carrier one day, he could call it Rivet City.
During this period of time, Fangzheng gathered the internal personnel while sending people to investigate the situation and search for survivors. Of course, there were also many gains, but the descriptions of some survivors were very strange.
They didn't know if Enoshima's shield did something, but according to the survivors, after the nuclear explosion, many strange things appeared in many places. Some said that he had once discovered a type of monster called a ghoul in an isolated village. Others said that a group of vampires had suddenly appeared from underground, wreaking havoc after the nuclear explosion, capturing the survivors and treating them as food.
Some people even said that in some other places, there was a terrible epidemic called the "Apocalypse Virus". The infected would be covered in a large area of purple crystals, which was extremely miserable.
Fangzheng also asked some people about this, but they all said that they had never heard of such a thing before. For some reason, after the nuclear explosion, it was as if some seal had been lifted, and all kinds of monsters and monsters came out.
Of course, the epidemic might be caused by the mutation of cells caused by the nuclear explosion, but what about vampires and ghouls? Were there also synthetic humans and mutants?
Therefore, Fangzheng also sent people to investigate these rumors, and now the results of the investigation were out.
According to Togami Byakuya's report, these rumors were almost all true. Except for the so-called "isolated village" they could not find, so they could not confirm whether the ghouls really existed, Togami Byakuya and Miao Mucheng did find corpses wrapped in purple crystals in the northeast, and they even detected the scene of a vampire army capturing humans.
"So the current situation … is this what it is?"
Looking at the report in front of him, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes. He now suspected that Enoshima's global nuclear explosion probably had another purpose. Maybe the collapse of the human order in this world was also part of it. Maybe, as they said, this was some kind of seal, and the nuclear explosion destroyed the continuity of the human world and destroyed the seal, so all kinds of monsters and monsters came out to show their existence.
"Tell Togami and the others to come back. It's time for us to move out."
As he said that, Fangzheng returned the report to Mist Cutter.
"Tell Seven Seas to get ready."
"Okay, Mr. Fangzheng. What's our goal …?"
"According to the report, an isolated area has appeared in the area where the virus is spreading, and the virus itself needs time to be studied … Let's deal with the vampires first, then see what's going on."
Looking at the map in front of him, Fangzheng made a decision.
