On December 31st, at around 10:30 at night, in the living room of Yamazaki House, Higashigogaya 5-chome, Ota-ku, Tokyo.
The living room has a sofa set for guests, a sofa bed, a home theater, a dining table and a kitchen, which is the main activity place in the home.
Yamazaki saw his younger sister Miyamoto Meidai sitting at the dining table, holding a remote control and playing TV programs boringly. He couldn't help laughing and said: "You watch the TV show from beginning to end, just watch the commercials."
"Waiting for you." Mei Daizi played the New Year's Eve party, then put down the remote control, "I'm starting." She said and started eating midnight snacks.
Mei Daizi eats a lot, four meals a day, and now one meal requires at least twenty steaks. Of course, other foods are also acceptable, but they should be mainly meat. Eating too much vegetarian food will make it easier to go to the bathroom.
Steaks are all high-end products of grade four or above. Millions of yen are spent on them every day, and more than one billion yen a year. When filing taxes every year, the tax collectors are stunned.
Yamazaki cut a piece of steak in front of him and ate a bowl of New Year soba noodles slowly with Meidaizi, while Meidaizi ate it with big mouthfuls.
More than an hour later, after eating twenty steaks and a bowl of New Year soba noodles, Mei Daizi burped and said, "Brother's cooking is getting better and better."
"If you don't want to wash the dishes, just say so." Yamazaki smiled.
"It's the Chinese New Year today," Mei Daizi said with a smile, "Then please."
"Then go and prepare the incense table." Yamazaki said, his tone a little heavy.
"Okay, brother." Mei Daizi responded, her tone a little heavy...
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the spiritual chamber.
There is a row of spiritual tablets enshrined on the memorial table. They are the ancestors of the Yamazaki family and the Miyamoto family. The first ones are Ichiro Miyamoto and Miko Miyamoto, and the two largest ones at the back are the ancestors Misaki Yamazaki and Midaiko Yamazaki.
There is a row of fake flowers, plants and fruits on the table in front of the spiritual tablet, and several incense burners are placed in between. Three electric fake incense sticks are inserted all year round, and a protruding incense burner in the middle is used for incense.
As the New Year's bell sounded in the distance, Yamazaki and Meidaizi each held three sticks of incense, knelt down three times and prayed silently, then put the incense in the incense burner, and they were done.
Oh, no, there are also New Year's money. The zodiac gold coins my mother ordered before, each weighing one gold ounce and more than 31 grams, are given to Yamazaki and Meidaizi each year.
Now, when the zodiac gold coins are delivered each year, they will be placed in the red envelope of lucky money. After the annual New Year's Eve cleaning, the red envelope will be placed in front of the spiritual tablets of Miyamoto Ichiro and Miyamoto Miko. After the New Year's worship, Yamazaki and Miyako
Each person takes one...
Around 05:05 in the middle of the night, in the living room, in front of the dining table.
After sitting down again, Mei Daizi frowned and said, "Brother, I've suddenly been a little distracted since just now."
"Uneasy?" Yamazaki was startled. He intuitively felt that this thing had a certain degree of predictability. Meidaizi felt it when something happened to her mother last time. What happened this time?
"Yes." Mei Daizi said with certainty.
"Okay," Yamazaki closed his eyes and felt for a while, then opened his eyes and frowned and said, "I don't think there is any danger that might hurt me now." Then he asked jokingly, "Is there going to be a big earthquake?
"
"How do I know this?" Mei Daizi said with a smile, "I just hunch that something big is going to happen, maybe it's an atomic bomb attack."
"In that case," Yamazaki suggested, "let's go back to the room and change out of our kimonos first. If there's going to be a big earthquake, it will be easier to run."
"That's right." Mei Daizi smiled...
Around ten past midnight, in the living room.
Yamazaki and Meidaizi each changed into black tight-fitting outfits and came back. Meidaizi was still holding a round hat. As she walked, she tied up her shoulder-length hair and put it on her head, then put on the hat.
The two of them each took a first aid kit from the cupboard, checked the contents, and then carried it on their backs.
Looking at the time, it was around 0:15 in the middle of the night. Yamazaki couldn't help but ask: "I said, Meidaizi, are you right?"
"Probably not." Mei Daizi was also a little confused.
"Should?" Yamazaki asked.
"Well," Mei Daizi stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "I feel much better than before."
"Okay." Yamazaki asked helplessly, "Are you sure you're not sick?"
"Well," Mei Daizi pressed her hand pulse and felt it for a while, "the strength and frequency of her heartbeat are no different from usual."
"Okay," Yamazaki smiled, "maybe your intuition is wrong."
"No." Mei Daizi was a little discouraged.
At this time, the time shown on the TV was 00:20, and a large number of the song and dance performers in the live broadcast suddenly collapsed on the stage. At the same time, there were also many audience members who had problems, a rough estimate of more than half
There is something wrong with people.
"What's going on?" Yamazaki was a little surprised and picked up the TV remote control to play other channels one by one.
It turned out that this kind of thing happened in all the live broadcasts, including the actors performing, the audience watching the performance, pedestrians on the street, people queuing up to ring bells in shrines and temples, etc.
The pictures on all live channels are from all over the country and even foreign countries.
Mei Daizi laughed and said: "Look, my intuition is right, there is really a big event."
Yamazaki asked: "Do you still feel it now?"
"Uh," Mei Daizi said with some confusion, "It's really strange, it seems to be gone."
"Okay." Yamazaki was speechless.
At this time, at 0:25, an astonishing scene appeared on the TV. Some people who had fallen to the ground and had been motionless just now and had no response no matter how much they tried to save them suddenly opened their mouths and bit the people around them.
It bites everywhere, including wrists, arms, calves, faces, and necks. If you bite them, you will tear them apart. People who are bitten on other parts of the body are better off. For those who are bitten on the neck, the main arteries are directly bitten, and a lot of blood is produced.
, amidst the shrill screams, it sprayed out like a fountain, causing chaos on the scene.
Seeing this, Yamazaki and Meidaizi looked at each other.
Mei Daizi asked weakly: "Aren't you filming a New Year's special program?"
Station Yamazaki found this kind of chaotic scene in every live broadcast station, and couldn't help but take a breath, "This is definitely not a program, it seems like something really weird has happened."
At this time, multiple screams and many frightened shouts were faintly heard outside.
Mei Daizi was taken aback, "Isn't that right? Our house has soundproof glass, so that the screams can be transmitted in?"
Yamazaki sighed, "It means it's nearby. It looks like we're in big trouble."
Mei Daizi asked: "Brother, what should we do now?"
Yamazaki said, "Although we still don't know what caused this, the fact that we are fine now means that the water in our house is fine. Let's collect the water first."
"I understand." Mei Daizi said.
After that, the two went to open the faucets of a large bathtub at home and four bathtubs. The water added up to more than ten cubic meters. For two people to drink, one liter per day for each person was enough for several years. The premise is that
You can still drink it then.
During the water filling period, the two people went to the rooftop to watch. Leaving the soundproof windows, the screams were even more clearly audible. The various screams were also mixed with gunshots, car collisions, and explosions; it seemed unreal.
Feeling like, what on earth is going on?
It was estimated that the water was almost ready. Daiko Yamazaki went down to turn off the faucet, then returned to the living room and found that many of the programs that were live broadcast just now were gone on the TV. There were only a few live broadcasts of party performances. However, judging from the screen, that
No one is in charge anymore.
Because those who had fallen stood up one after another, with cloudy eyes open and stiff steps, chasing the normal people who were panicking and running around, biting when they caught them and even swarmed up to share the food.
, it’s really appalling, completely restricted.
Yamazaki and Meidaizi were a little stunned. What happened to these people?
After coming back to his senses, Yamazaki said: "I think we should check the food first."
"Okay." Mei Daizi said.
The two checked the food stored in the storeroom, plus Mei Daizi's snacks, and saved a little to last for six to seven days.
Mei Daizi asked worriedly: "Brother, do you think you will be able to calm down in a week?"
Yamazaki said: "Unless those guys are all immobile, but the probability is hard to say."
At this time, around 0:35, the two heard an emergency announcement playing on the TV, so they ran back to the living room to watch.
The main message of the notice is that large-scale cannibalism incidents have suddenly occurred across the country and even around the world. All citizens are asked to stay at home, lock the doors and windows, and do self-rescue work first. All citizens are asked to save water and food and wait for rescue.
"Save yourself and then wait for rescue?" Mei Daizi asked, "What do you mean?"
Yamazaki said: "It means that the government is too busy taking care of itself and has no ability to save people."
Mei Daizi was a little dissatisfied, "No, we paid a lot of taxes."
"Let's settle this account later," Yamazaki said, "We are not short of water now, but we are short of food."
Mei Daizi smiled and said: "That's true, there shouldn't be anyone delivering food for the time being."
Yamazaki said: "So we can only go and get it ourselves."
"You mean," Mei Daizi said excitedly, "are we going to rob?"
Yamazaki said: "No, we are saving ourselves. It is not too late to pay later, plus interest to the owner."
"That's right, that's right." Meidaizi smiled, "Then the nearest big supermarket is Higashi-Jigaya 4-chome Higashi-Jigaya Supermarket four hundred meters away." Then she asked with some distress, "But how are we going to put things away?
Where are you taking it back? I just took a shower."
"When you said that, I remembered it." Yamazaki said, "We should go to the gym next door first and fill the two swimming pools with water, so that we can connect them to the water tank in the gym and have water for bathing.
"
"That's right, I don't want to be unable to take a shower for several days." Mei Daizi said with a smile.
