Nuke Miko: Chronicles of America

Not to mention, the mayor of Los Angeles, who is the person involved, is still pretending to be dead at this moment!

Please, is this the time to play dead?Do you think you can save face by pretending to be dead?Where do you have any face now?

Based on what you did while hiding on a yacht on the high seas during the epidemic, there is absolutely no hope of being re-elected!

Hurry up and ask for help!You irresponsible and greedy old bastard!

Thinking of this, the mayor's assistant, Ms. Freya, couldn't help rubbing her veins throbbing on her forehead, "...So, what is our Mr. Mayor doing? He has been hiding on the yacht and working remotely for two months. Is it that reluctant to sign a state of emergency declaration now?"

"...Well... since last night, we have lost contact with the mayor, and no one can contact his yacht." The Asian secretary smiled wryly.

"...The mayor's yacht lost contact? How is it possible? Isn't his yacht equipped with the most advanced communication equipment?"

Ms. Freya said in disbelief, "... Did this nasty hypocrite get high on drugs at a party on the yacht? Did he get drunk? Or did he lose his strength after playing with too many women? Wait, his yacht ...Could it have been overturned by the tsunami triggered by the earthquake?"

Seeing the little secretary's tangled face, Ms. Freya realized belatedly that the earthquake... always seemed to be accompanied by a tsunami?

"...According to the report of the Earthquake Administration, the magnitude of the Los Angeles earthquake was 6.9, and the maximum wave amplitude of the tsunami was only 0.8 meters, causing very little damage. The tsunami warning has been lifted.

But the Maritime Bureau said that the mayor's yacht had lost all signals since last night, and did not send any distress messages.

The Coast Guard has dispatched speedboats and helicopters to search and rescue the incident.However, a tropical storm is currently forming near the sea area where the incident occurred, causing the weather and sea conditions there to be unfavorable, which may have a certain adverse effect on search and rescue operations. "

Ms. Li, the Asian secretary, also reported embarrassingly, "...before the coast guard search and rescue personnel find the mayor, we may not be able to expect him to sign the emergency declaration and ask the governor for help. If the governor does not act If so, the White House has every reason not to intervene.

Ma'am, what shall we do next? "

"...What should I do? What else can I do? Naturally, I can only wait and pray!"

With a relaxed expression of relief, Ms. Freya reached out and rubbed her temples, then leaned her head back on the chair, "...Do you want me to sign the emergency declaration instead of the mayor and ask the governor for help? Please, The mayor has never given me such a mandate!

For such a bold thing, if any city councilor is willing to come forward, let him do it!My assistant can't do it..."

——What's more, if the unlucky mayor is really buried in the belly of a fish, she, the mayor's assistant, will probably be automatically laid off and unemployed.

At that time, even if the sky and earth in Los Angeles are ruined, what does it have to do with her, a humble socialite in the Upper West Side of New York?

Anyway, the Malibu beach where she is now is a place where billionaires live. It is closely guarded by a professional security company. The equipment and quality of its personnel are better than ordinary police. It also has independent electricity, running water and The communication system is never afraid of mob harassment and is safe and sound.

That being the case, what else does she have to worry about?In fact, even if she wanted to do something, she couldn't do anything now.

So, lie flat and watch the news!Miss Freya thought so irresponsibly.

sex

American politicians usually have a remarkable advantage, that is, they can tell an extremely shameless thing in an extremely frank manner-even the street girls who come out to sell it know that they have to give American politicians don't need to wrap themselves in a fig leaf.

For example, in the face of people starving to death and freezing to death, American politicians can frankly say that the government owes you nothing, please fend for yourself!

Faced with the tragedy of the outbreak, American politicians can happily celebrate (poor ghosts) that all the old people have died, and the state's burden has been reduced without paying pensions.

In the face of an enemy country that has torn its face apart, American politicians confiscated the other party's overseas assets, while still asking the other party to continue to repay the debt as if nothing had happened.

Therefore, Freya, the mayor's assistant at this time, can naturally lie flat and fish with peace of mind, watching Los Angeles struggling in purgatory on TV.

——On the second day after the earthquake broke out in Los Angeles, the city became the focus of news in the United States and even the world.

All the news websites used big red letters, and the various headlines became more explosive and horrifying.

Originally, Los Angeles was one of the hardest-hit areas in the United States where the "Corona" outbreak broke out, and even zombies ran out. Recently, there was a big riot in the Black Lives Matter Movement, and the earthquake hit. When he got up, people suddenly panicked—this city is probably a pill!

A large number of scenes from disaster movies were cut out, accompanied by various imaginary lines and posted on the Internet, occupying the screens of countless mobile phones in a short time.

The idlers and spectators all over the world are generally full of energy, their eyes are shining, and they are in a state of excitement that watching the excitement is not a big deal.

The hosts of various news programs came on stage one after another, inviting professors of geology to talk eloquently, discussing the interaction between the Pacific plate and the American plate in front of the camera, explaining why a shallow earthquake of magnitude 6.9 would cause such serious damage, and predicting whether the next There are also earthquakes.

There are also experts in the financial circles and stock commentators who also took the opportunity to spread absurdities, talking about the impact of the 6.9-magnitude Los Angeles earthquake on the global financial market, predicting the rise and fall of various stocks and futures, and making various public accounts and video lectures Ushered in a wave of traffic carnival.

Of course, I also scolded the government for not being a human being, and for not doing disaster relief at this moment... Then the politicians started a hysterical battle of throwing the pot away.

No way, this is the political arena in Washington—the brothers handed over poison in the wine glasses, and the sisters flew over with knives in their eyes.

If we say that the political arena in the past still had a touch of dignity with human touch, then in the reign of Wang Wang, there was only bottomless bullying left.

In addition, there are a large number of journalists who are not afraid of death, retrograde the flow of people fleeing for refuge, and head towards the center of Los Angeles, which is located in the epicenter.

I have to admire the courage and sacrifice of the reporters. Although there are still frequent gun battles in downtown Los Angeles today, aftershocks continue, fires are not extinguished, traffic is chaotic, and mobile phone signals are cut off in many blocks, the reporters who grab the news are still there. Come in a hurry by helicopter,

There are even bold war reporters who broke into the center of Los Angeles in a modified Humvee and unearthed a lot of facts:

At least 20 houses were destroyed in the earthquake, and the fire that burned the city has not been completely extinguished until now, and the death toll alone is tens of thousands.

In addition, there are as many as tens of thousands of survivors who were buried alive under the rubble, enduring the pain of the heavy pressure of bricks and stones and the smoke and fire.

In front of the cameras of these brave reporters, the classical red brick buildings on the University of Southern California campus collapsed, the "Hollywood" sign with white letters on the top of the hill in Hollywood collapsed, and the Ferris wheel on Santa Monica Beach collapsed. Turned into a twisted twist of steel, two skyscrapers in the central business district of Los Angeles collapsed, and another skyscraper tilted into the Leaning Tower of Pisa, which made the audience sigh.

What is even more surprising is that this earthquake that occurred at night, in addition to ordinary disasters and catastrophes, also has a mysterious supernatural color.

——The aurora that should not appear in the latitude of Los Angeles, the "Ode to the Old Ones" resounding through the night sky...

This is not just the nonsense that a few witnesses swear by, but there are many videos recorded on the spot to prove it!

All of a sudden, netizens all over the world were excited!

The aurora can also be forcibly explained as an abnormal discharge phenomenon in the atmosphere caused by an earthquake. What about the singing?Mass hysteria?

In addition to "Ode to the Old Ones", another Japanese song that also sounded over Los Angeles on the night of the earthquake hit the nerves of many superstitious people like a hammer... Could it be that the stars have returned to their positions now? When the old gods return?

All of a sudden, the Cthulhu Mythology, which was originally a niche culture, became the top stream on the Internet in the blink of an eye. Various mobile games, comics, animations, novels, and film and television dramas with elements of the Cthulhu Mythology ushered in a wave of Wave download rush.

As for the "arty" people who follow the trend and change their profile pictures to Naiyazi, there are even more.

On the other hand, the citizens of Los Angeles in the disaster area fell into a state of emotional collapse amidst gunshots and flames.

At dawn the next morning, the roads out of the city were already congested everywhere. The citizens who drove out of the city to seek refuge formed a long queue on the road, and the helicopters of the news media flew overhead from time to time... The scene of the citizens swarming and fleeing was broadcast to Thousands of households.

Ms. Freya, who was lying flat in her mansion on the beach in Malibu, also calmly watched the fleeing tide of the city through the LCD TV... But what she didn't notice was that a certain vehicle was carrying four witches and a large group of Mao's electric tricycle is slowly creeping in the traffic flow out of the city

Chapter 83, Moving to Irvine

In the eyes of foreigners, "Los Angeles" is a very prosperous super big city.

But in the United States, Los Angeles actually has three concepts, including the city of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County and the greater Los Angeles area.

The Los Angeles that most people say and write refers to the greater Los Angeles area.

This is the second largest urban agglomeration in the United States after the New York metropolitan area. It consists of five counties and more than 130 towns, with a total area of ​​940 square kilometers. The sum is even larger, only slightly smaller than Zhejiang Province.

In such a vast land, apart from the small densely populated area in the center of Los Angeles, there are also many satellite cities scattered with populations ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.Among them are the high-society and middle-class enclaves with good law and order, and the slums full of poverty, violence and crime.The conditions in different satellite cities are very different: heaven and hell may be just a stone's throw away.

Irvine is a relatively well-developed satellite city in the greater Los Angeles area, and it is also a famous dream home among Chinese immigrants.

It is located on the seashore in the southeast of downtown Los Angeles, about 20 kilometers away from the city center, with beautiful scenery, a pleasant climate, and good security. There are also many branches of famous institutions of higher learning located here, making this medium-sized city with a population of [-], It looks very high-end and atmospheric.

Even the Silicon Valley in San Francisco has relocated some high-tech companies here, making Irvine known as "Little Silicon Valley".

In addition, for those who like to play, living in Irvine is also a very convenient choice - it takes 10 minutes to drive to Disneyland to watch fireworks, and it takes an hour to drive to Ocean Park in San Diego to watch whales Shows, in winter, you can drive to Big Bear Lake for skiing in an hour and a half... How can such a comfortable and livable city that gathers "eat, drink and have fun" not be popular?

In short, Irvine is neither as crowded as a first-tier city, nor as closed and backward as a desert island mountain village, but like a beautiful park with first-class facilities, a beautiful environment, and high-quality residents—because this place The housing prices are so high that poor ghosts with no quality can't live in it!

This is why in recent years, real estate in Irvine has become so sought after among Asian immigrants, like a god.

During the Los Angeles earthquake that occurred on the night of June 6 this year.Because it was 6 kilometers away from the epicenter, Irvine was basically not directly affected, and the thugs in downtown Los Angeles were not so bored as to trek [-] kilometers overnight to organize a group to rob Irvine.

But just in case, the police and residents of Irvine worked together immediately, and according to the advice of veterans who had been to the Iraqi battlefield, they built barricades at the intersections and set up checkpoints to prevent rioters from fleeing in the center of Los Angeles. Come over, steal and cause trouble, even break into the empty door, murder and kidnap.

Police and security guards with live ammunition, driving a Humvee with desert camouflage, guarded the intersection with eyesight, reminiscent of the Middle East battlefield.

However, Megumi Akiyama and others encountered no trouble at all when they entered Irvine with a large group of cats in a nuclear-powered electric tricycle.

First of all, the appearance of their group is so beautiful, they are full of favor buffs!

——Cats are inherently cute creatures, and beautiful girls with different styles are even more lovely creatures. The combination of these two heavy cuteness can really kill people on the spot: who dares to doubt such a group Cute creatures, what kind of evil will they have?

And when these lovely lives are struggling to escape from the disaster, it can make people feel compassion involuntarily.

Secondly, as a witch who serves the vixen, a mere charm technique is easy for Qiu Shanhui, not to mention easy to use.

In this way, Akiyama Hui easily passed the barricades and checkpoints, and entered this satellite city that was boasted like a paradise.

After a closer look, it turned out that he was a worthy man under his prestige. The place of Irvine was indeed full of modernization, advancement and affluence.

"...the beach with palm trees in the park, the artificial lake with fountain trails, and the Mercedes-Benz lawn big house! It feels like this is America in Hollywood movies!"

While complaining like this, Akiyama Hui glanced around at the surrounding scenery with sparkling eyes - clean and tidy villas, beautiful golf courses and seaside beaches, artificial lakes with boats floating, exquisite children's playgrounds and swimming pools... and specially planned Walking and biking trails.

There are no dirty homeless or drug addicts along the way, the streets are clean and tidy, and there is no garbage, and the mobile phone signal is also excellent.

All kinds of voice-activated, voice-activated and computer-controlled automation equipment can be seen everywhere, and there are also unmanned smart cars strolling on the road.

Almost all the buildings are very novel, and most of the people who see them are also very energetic, neatly dressed and fashionable, and almost no one has tattoos.

Among them, whites and Asians occupy the vast majority, the number of Hispanics is not large, and blacks are even rarer.

how to say?The American cities in Marvel movies and Transformers should probably look like this, right?

"...Irvine is really a good place, it is one of the few places in Los Angeles where you can go out and wander around at night.

Previously, Irvine was also named the safest city in the United States.I used to fantasize about living here too.But the price of this place…”

Miss Dolores also looked at the surrounding street scene with slightly envious eyes, "...Hey, I really can't afford it!"

"...Although we still can't afford a house in Irvine, we no longer need money to want a house."

Megumi Akiyama said so brazenly, and at the same time grabbed the back of the black cat goddess Buster's neck, lifted the fat cat to her face, and asked her in the "meow meow" cat language, "... hurry up, bad cat Cat, is the new spirit vein that appeared after the earthquake in this place?"

——Because witch ears and tails will appear whenever the witches use their spiritual power, it is not convenient to cast spells in crowded places.

Therefore, Akiyama Hui let the cat god Buster lead the way along the way-as a true god, her ability to perceive the spiritual veins is absolutely fine.

Facing the unceremonious little witch, Buster could only stretch out his cat's paw, pointing to a community on the side of the road.Akiyama Megumi drove in the electric tricycle, skillfully used the charm technique to dismiss the doorman, and then let the catwoman Serena use the homeless survival skills to find an empty house.

Chapter 84, The Miko Breaks Through the Empty Door

The so-called vacant house refers to an empty house that has no owner to live in or rent out for the time being.

Houses like this can be found everywhere in every city in the United States.

There is no way, the gap between the rich and the poor in the United States is too great. The rich have so many houses that they can’t even remember how many they have, while the poor have no roof to hide.

Especially after the financial crisis in 2008, American government departments and banks seized and confiscated countless properties from those bankrupt guys, but they often could not be sold at all, or they could not enter due to internal constraints. The auction process ended up being dragged on endlessly.

Under such circumstances, those homeless people who were kicked out of their homes because they could not pay property taxes and property fees are very good at passing data such as electricity meters, water meters, and gas bills, as well as close observation and detection. Analyze whether those empty houses can be "borrowed".

So, after confirming that the new spiritual vein was in this community, Akiyama Megumi sent Serena, a black-skinned cat girl with agility and rich experience in wandering, to scout out any vacant houses here—even if she missed the trick anyway, She can also pass the test by turning into a cat.

Who would suspect that a kitten that broke into your home could be mean?

In addition, even if the popularity of this community is too strong, it is full of people, and there is not a single vacant house.

Akiyama Hui also has a way to let the residents make room for themselves.

——Although after the Los Angeles earthquake, the concentration of aura that had reached its peak once again turned around and fell, and it has now fallen to the bottom.

But even this aura value that has fallen to the bottom is still much higher than the aura value before the earthquake.

With the increase in the concentration of aura, some spells that Akiyama Megumi could not use before can now be used.

She only needs to perform a "repelling idlers" spell on the house she fancy, and the people living in the house will immediately think of what they have to do, such as where to travel, where to meet old friends, where to go to a certain place. On a business trip or inspection, etc., I quickly started to pack my luggage and go out.

If you want to be more secure, Akiyama Megumi can also meet the owner of the house with a charming BUFF before they leave, making them think that they are old friends or distant relatives who have not seen them for many years, and "involuntarily" enthusiastic Invite them to live temporarily in your own home.

In this way, even if the neighbors find that there are a group of strangers here, since the owner himself invited them, outsiders can't say anything more.

——Of course this kind of deception is a crime, but it is impossible for ordinary people's laws to restrain extraordinary people. Miko Akiyama Megumi is already very moral.

However, since it is a deception created by magic, it will eventually fail one day.If possible, Qiu Shanhui didn't want to fool people casually.

It turned out to be very lucky. The popularity of this community, which is dominated by Asian residents, seems to be very poor. More than half of the houses are empty and no one lives in it. The flight order was isolated to my hometown on the other side of the ocean, so I couldn't come to the United States at all.

Especially the three-storey villa directly above Lingmai is simply a brand-new, well-decorated, empty house. The smell of formaldehyde inside has not been astigmatized. Apart from the bathroom equipment, there is no furniture, and there is also nothing. Automatic security monitoring equipment.

Megumi Akiyama and the others can move in with their bags as long as they are connected to the power grid.

Of course, an empty house with nothing but water and electricity would not be very comfortable to live in.

However, it took two days to trek [-] kilometers from downtown Los Angeles to Irvine, and Hui Akiyama and the others were also tired.

So they washed hastily, ate some biscuits they carried with them, and since the cat food around them was exhausted, they could only send the cats to forage by themselves (begging for food + stealing ornamental fish), and then lay on the floor with their clothes on. asleep.
