No one was riding in the vehicles. No wonder Taro Kawakawa saw many vehicles abandoned on the road at the intersection ahead.
"Michiko, let's take our belongings and get out of the car and walk over."
Taro Kawakawa said something to his wife, got out of the car and started to pack things, and Michiko also came to help.
"Oh, you can't throw this sleeping bag away. What if you need it?"
"Summer will be over soon, let's bring two sets of thick clothes."
…
Michiko was reluctant to leave this one behind and wanted to take it with her. The suitcase in front of her was filled up in an instant.
Women are like this, especially couples who sometimes need to sleep outdoors during this period, and many things are very useful.
"Don't be stupid, we have to leave the islands with them. These things are all cumbersome. We only need to bring a change of clothes and some valuables."
Taro Kawakawa couldn't stand it, so he helped Michiko streamline it for a while, then he dragged the big suitcase and walked down the slope with a big backpack on his back.
Michiko looked at the remaining items in the trunk with some reluctance. Finally, she grabbed a few canned meats and bottles of drinking water and stuffed them into a backpack. She carried them on her back and caught up with her husband.
"Brother, are we really recruiting people to leave here?" Taro Kawakawa arrived at the end of the queue. In front of him was a taller man whose head and face could not be seen.
Although it was already September and the weather was not that hot, this man was still wearing a thick windbreaker with a hood that completely covered his head.
Following Taro Kawakawa's question, the man turned his head, and his face was actually covered with a scarf, with only the area above his eyes exposed.
But it's obvious that he must be a young man.
The young man just nodded and turned back.
Taro Kawakawa was a little bored, but wanted to find out more about the situation, so he stepped forward and continued, "I came from Chiba, how about you? Are you the only one? I heard that this company only recruits young women, yes
Really?"
The young man looked at Taro Kawakawa who was chatting in front of him, and was speechless. He said in a loud voice: "They also recruit professional talents, as long as they have a master's degree or above, no matter what major."
"Ah, really? Do they want someone who graduated from the police academy with a bachelor's degree?"
Taro Kawakawa was both excited and a little disappointed after hearing this. After all, there are very few police officers with a master's degree or above.
"I don't know. You can go to the front and ask yourself. If you don't recruit, you will be waiting in line for nothing."
Taro Kawakawa looked forward along the line. At the checkpoint, there were several people wearing some kind of protective uniforms. This was the first time I had seen that kind of protective clothing. It was not bulky. The face was made of transparent material, but the hands were far away.
It looks like there is no protection.
With some doubts, Taro Kawakawa asked Michiko to take care of the luggage, and quickly ran to the front and bowed to one of the people wearing protective clothing.
He asked: "I'm sorry to bother you, but I would like to ask if a police officer with a bachelor's degree is within your company's recruitment scope?"
The man in protective clothing in front of him was an Oriental man, and he spoke Japanese, which made Taro Kawakawa feel relieved.
"What's your name? How old are you? Where do you work as a police officer? What's your position? Besides being a police officer, what other expertise do you have?"
"My name is Taro Kawakawa. I am 35 years old. I serve as the deputy director of the XXX police station in the suburbs of Tokyo. I have no other expertise except being a police officer."
The man in protective clothing looked up and down for a while, and then said: "You line up first. Whether I can recruit you depends on how the interviewer behind you decides."
Taro Kawakawa was a little disappointed and unwilling, and asked again: "What about recruiting young women? Are there any requirements?"
"Oh, of course. Those aged 14-35, unmarried, and good at housework will be given priority."
Taro Kawakawa hurriedly asked: "Is it only the unmarried ones? Is it okay for the married ones? They are good at doing housework."
"Married people don't want it."
Taro Kawakawa was immediately dumbfounded. So Michiko couldn't be recruited. If he couldn't be recruited anymore, wouldn't the two of them be unable to leave the islands?
He wanted to ask more questions, but then there was a rapid burst of gunfire from the other side of the checkpoint. The man in protective clothing shook his head and said to another colleague: "Someone is messing around again without knowing whether to live or die."
The colleague smiled and said, "80% of the time, he was tested positive for the virus or was eliminated by the interviewer."
"Yes, the super virus has mutated again. It is said that the asymptomatic incubation period has been extended to 6 days."
Taro Kawakawa felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. Both of them were speaking Japanese. It seemed that they were recruited locally by the company.
This was the first time he heard that the asymptomatic incubation period of the super virus was 6 days. When he passed by Kamisu City before, he had heard that the virus had mutated and had an incubation period of 2-3 days due to substandard vaccines administered by the Self-Defense Forces.
He has been cautious and has not had any symptoms so far. He has always been sure that he should not be infected.
But when he suddenly heard that the super virus now has a 6-day incubation period, he started to murmur in his heart.
Hechuan clearly remembered that just 6 days ago, he was attacked by a man who seemed to be sick at a gas station. The two had been in contact at that time, and he shot and killed the guy.
Because the matter was in a hurry, he left without staying long, and he could not be sure whether the person was infected.
Next, the worried Taro Kawakawa lined up with his wife and went through personal information registration, security check, interview, etc., and finally came to the blood test.
During the previous security inspection, Taro Kawakawa's pistol was confiscated.
The man in the trench coat who lined up in front of him also had a pistol found. It was obvious that he was able to come here alone, which was not a bad thing.
After a tube full of blood was taken away, Taro Kawakawa was very nervous while waiting in the designated area. He was worried that if he was tested to be infected with the super virus, he would either be beaten to death or driven away.
Yes, while he was queuing up to pass the checkpoint, there was a vehicle carrying a group of people and leaving here. Hechuan learned from the comments among the people in the queue that they were probably sent away after being tested for the virus.
Just when Taro Kawakawa was thinking wildly, the siren suddenly sounded.
He immediately looked around and saw a dozen heavily armed personnel quickly surrounding the waiting area where he was.
This situation was somewhat unexpected by Taro Kawakawa. After all, he had previously detected a super virus and had never thought about the sirens.
Kawakawa subconsciously protected Michiko behind him. At this moment, there were more than 20 people in the waiting area, and they all looked at the armed men with guns pointed at them in panic.
The leading armed man pointed his gun in the direction of the river and said: "You, lie down on the ground immediately!"
Hechuan was stunned for a moment, and without thinking much, he just lay down on the ground.
He could clearly see that the gun in the hands of the armed man on the other side was loaded and the safety was on, and the finger of the person speaking had already slightly pulled the trigger.
If you don't do what the other party says, you may be beaten into a sieve immediately.
The direction of the gun in the leading armed man's hand did not change, and he continued: "That guy in the windbreaker, what about you? Immediately lie down on the ground with your hands on your head!"
Well, isn't it yourself?
Taro Kawakawa turned his head and looked over, and saw the man in the windbreaker also lying behind him. He had just been standing behind him.
Sure enough, several armed men immediately stepped forward, held down the man in the trench coat, tied him up with a special rope, and then carried him away.
Taro Kawakawa was a little dumbfounded. It seemed that he was too nervous because they had to deal with the man in the trench coat.
However, what did the man in the trench coat do to deserve to be captured by these people like a formidable enemy?
Just as I was thinking about it, a man in protective clothing walked over, read a string of people's names, and then took the person away.
Suddenly he and Michiko were the only ones left in the waiting area.
Michiko grabbed Hechuan's sleeve in panic and said, "Taro, are we infected?"
At this time, another man in protective clothing came over with two armed men, "Are you Taro Kawakawa?"
