Nuke Miko: Chronicles of America

Basically, it is similar to the forced migration of ethnic groups in the Soviet Union, such as the forced relocation of Koreans from the Far East to Central Asia.

Although after the Pacific War ended and Japan surrendered, the Japanese residents in the United States were also released from concentration camps.

But their original properties in the coastal cities have been plundered, and even if they go home, they will have nothing. To be on the safe side, I can only continue to live in Idaho.

Over time, with the multiplication of these Japanese descendants, and the Japanese descendants who moved to the United States one after another, many of them came to Idaho, which has a large number of Japanese descendants, because of the simple psychology of "clan grouping together"... Finally, As a result, Ihoda has the largest concentration of Japanese Americans in the United States.

Although these twists and turns have been experienced, in a sense, for the Japanese who developed in the United States, this can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

——Because of the experience of being forced to migrate to the countryside to farm, in the modern United States, there are many Japanese and Vietnamese farmers engaged in agriculture, but Chinese immigrants basically live in cities, and few Chinese are willing to farm in the United States There are very few of them.

As we all know, agriculture is the primary industry. After an immigrant group comes to a foreign country, it can only be considered as truly rooted if it cultivates and reclaims its own land—otherwise, it will be like those in medieval Europe who were prohibited from owning cultivated land. Like the Jews who can only make a living by lending and doing business, although they have houses in many cities and have accumulated a lot of wealth, they are also regarded as passers-by and cannot integrate into the country where they live.

Therefore, in modern America, the social influence of Japanese and Vietnamese is much more significant than the "silent" Chinese.

This is because the former is, so to speak, truly rooted, while the latter, like the Jews, is somewhat vain.

In short, with the advantage of being not far from the Japanese-inhabited area, there is still a certain foundation for establishing the belief in Inari in Washington State.

However, Akiyama Hui thought about it for a long time, and finally rejected the tempting suggestion of the cheap mother, saying that he is no longer a child and wants to go out and make a fortune independently.Moreover, the climate in the Northwest of the United States is really not suitable for large-scale planting of rice, which is not conducive to promoting the belief in the fox god. If she stays here, the god she serves will be like a bonsai in a flowerpot, which will never grow and develop day.

Ms. Akiyama Yukie expressed her understanding. After all, when children grow up, they will want to start their own careers.But at the same time, Qiushan Xuehui also claimed that her door is always open for Huihui. If Huihui can't get along outside, she can return to her mother at any time...

Chapter 188: Poison Ivy's World Tree

The new residence of the Church of the Goddess of the Forest and the Ranger, Melikhai, is located in the temperate rainforest at the foot of Mount Olympia, in the wilderness beside Crescent Lake.

The warm and humid air blowing from the Pacific Ocean is blocked by the towering mountains. The air flow rises along the slopes and cools down, forming snowfall and glaciers of various sizes on the high mountains.It looks like a giant python lying tired between the cliffs of the valley, shining blue light under the sunlight, full of primitive and rough beauty.

In the middle of the mountain, there is torrential rain, converging into streams and lakes, nourishing the green vegetation all over the mountain, with verdant firs and cypresses everywhere.

The tall and straight trunks are covered with lichens, and stone pine hangs from the branches.In the gaps among the conifers grow maple trees.Under the forest, ferns and moss plants are covered with dead branches and leaves, and even the fallen logs lying on the ground are tightly wrapped in moss, making the ground seem to be covered with a layer of green carpet.

There is also the blue Crescent Lake, dotted in this green carpet, like a huge mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.

Standing by the lake, Qiu Shanhui looked up and saw the peaks of the mountains, surrounded by clouds and fog. Looking down at the lake, there were also waves hitting the shore and mist.

On the tender green grass at the bottom of the valley, colorful flowers bloom everywhere, and the scenery is as picturesque as a poem.On the towering foothills around the valley, there are layers of trees growing, and the green shades of different shades overlap together, which looks complicated, but harmonious and perfect.

It is quite refreshing to be surrounded by such a vast and magnificent scenery.

"...the ancient Greek gods in mythology are said to live on Mount Olympia—of course, the Mount Olympia in Europe.

Mom, you built a holy place for the goddess of the forest at the foot of another Olympia, which is also a contrast.

But, the scenery of the lake and mountains is really good, and the climate is very livable, but where is your temple? "

Akiyama Megumi said to her cheap mother Akiyama Yukie, "...I only see lake water and a fantasy forest here..."

——On this flat land by Crescent Lake, apart from a few dilapidated log cabins that seemed to belong to the forest guards, there are only a dozen RVs and stretches of tents. There are really no decent buildings, not even a Decent accommodation is nonexistent.

However, the local forest has been shrouded by the power of the forest and knight-errant goddess Melika, and a magical mutation has taken place. In addition to the common maple, spruce, pine, and beech trees in North America, they are also spawned by the goddess' magic power. There are many fantastic trees.

The prettiest of these is the blueleaf tree: a tall, thin tree with a maple-like appearance and the shape of its leaves, but each one glows eerie blue—whether it’s summer or not. Among the green fields, it is particularly eye-catching against the red maples in golden autumn.

What's more amazing is that a beautiful deep lake blue dye can be extracted from the sap and crushed leaves of the blue leaf tree; the wood of the blue leaf tree also produces a beautiful blue flame when burned-so As soon as the Forest Goddess Church gave birth to it, merchants have already placed orders.

There is also a silver bark tree that grows in lakes and marshes.This kind of tree grows thin and straight, and is named for its silver bark. Although the wood of the silver bark tree is brittle and the bark is loose, it is only suitable for burning firewood after being cut, but its silvery light itself, It is already a beautiful ornamental tree,

The most powerful thing is that Melika, the goddess of the forest and rangers, also gave birth to the important role in fantasy works [Treant].

Even though it was only a few days old, these [Tree People] were less than thirty centimeters high, and they were just a group of small saplings that could walk.

But just looking at the slow movement of these small trees, there is a sense of fantasy and mystery.

However, no matter how magical this forest becomes, after all, there is no basic facility suitable for human beings to survive for a long time.

Is it true that Cheap Mom really wants to build a tent city in the green space of the park like the previous "Seattle Commune", which is pouring dirty water on the concept of "revolution" and has become a laughing stock of the world since its birth? Some graffiti, even if it is a holy place?

Is this too low?

She looked around and found that the founder of the funny "Seattle Commune", "Queen Bean" Laura, was also sunbathing by the lake.

Speaking of which, this "Queen of Beans" really proved what is meant by "As long as you stand on the wind, sows can fly into the sky".

——A mere vegetarian chef who specializes in making tofu dishes has no prestige, no brains, and no courage, yet he can become a prince.

What's even more outrageous is that she has clearly performed the treasonous feat of "cracking America" ​​and sat in the city hall giving orders (although almost no one listened) for a long time, but no one thought of arresting or Sue her.

In short, this woman who committed the serious crime of "separating the United States" actually got away with nothing!It's like just having a fun show!

It has to be said that it is a skill to turn a rebellion into a funny show.

However, since there is already an actor who has turned the president in the TV series into a real president, it seems that there are not many people with such great ability?

Today's Church of the Goddess of the Forest and the Ranger, Melika, was established on the basis of the "Seattle Commune" formed by these teasers.

From Akiyama Hui's point of view, she is really worried, will the cheap mom club be as unreliable as the "Seattle Commune"?

After all, the time has only been less than a month, and the people are still the same group of funny people, can they be expected to be reborn?

Fortunately, although this group of teasers are not very reliable, Akiyama Megumi's cheap mother and the forest goddess she serves are more or less reliable.

"... Huihui, ordinary people even invite relatives and friends to build a house. How can the gods create the sanctuary with great power, how can there be no distinguished guests to watch and applaud?" Cheap Mom said plausibly, "...now Now that everyone is here, we can start working!"

The next moment, Akiyama Megumi finally knew why Cheap Mom was called "Poison Ivy Girl".

——I saw Qiushan Yuue stretch out his hand, and clusters of dark green thorny vines rose from the bushes and meadows in all directions, forming a green wall.The thick vines are like a cutting machine and a road roller, compacting and leveling the land with a radius of several kilometers.

Immediately afterwards, the flat ground by the Crescent Lake began to rumble, and the clear water of the lake immediately swelled with huge waves like a wall.

Surrounded by vines, a sapling shimmering with golden-green divine light frantically absorbed the magic power from all directions and began to thrive.

Immediately, the phantom of the goddess of the forest and the ranger, Melika, appeared above the saplings of the World Tree, holding her hands flat, allowing the vast and majestic divine power to be accompanied by a little bit of golden light, nourishing the saplings of the World Tree like dew and rain. Let it rise and expand rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Immediately afterwards, as the guests who came to celebrate Melika's "housewarming", other gods also appeared phantoms, floating in the air:

Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease, with a thick smoky makeup on her face, her hair tied up in a high bun with a flower-shaped black pearl hairpin, and she is wearing a gothic retro dress with pure black lace Layered with thin and soft veils, it wraps around her enchanting figure, so alluring.

The ancient fox god Tamamo, who was transformed into a beautiful woman in oriental style costumes, was wearing the colorful and gorgeous twelve-single dress of the Japanese empress in the Heian period. From the bun, a gold hairpin in the shape of a rice ear is inserted obliquely at the side of the bun.

Bastet, the cat god incarnated as a brown-skinned wild cat-eared girl, wears a cobra ruby ​​gold crown full of ancient Egyptian style, a cobra-shaped gold armband and bracelet on his arm, a gemstone necklace on his neck, and a full body The jewels come in style.

The three goddesses also stretched out their palms together, pouring divine power into the saplings of the World Tree, so that the saplings of the World Tree grew faster and bigger, and the developed roots penetrated into the earth, and the crown of the tree rose slowly like a hill. The turbulent divine power turned into howling air waves, shocking the people watching around.

Moreover, Talona, ​​the goddess of disease and poison, added some beautiful and useful decorations to the World Tree-I saw him flicking his sleeves lightly, adding a circle of color at the foot of the World Tree Vibrant, red, white, purple and orange poisonous mushrooms...

In this regard, although the forest goddess as a supplier glanced at her, she did not intend to stop her. Instead, she flicked her fingers again, and a green catnip was born at the foot of the tree, and it was also spawned by the stream not far away. Take out a small piece of wild rice.

Well, these poisonous mushrooms and catnip, produced by the goddess of the forest, are fully infused with divine power. It is estimated that as long as they are put on the market, they will definitely become the fantasy holy things that addicts and cat owners all over the world are crazy about?

In the end, a super giant tree with a crown as high as more than 200 meters and a trunk as large as a school stood majestically beside Crescent Lake!

——Perhaps because the land in the nature reserve is open, the world tree that migrated here looks taller than when it was in Seattle.

What's more, on top of this indomitable world tree, relying on the shaping of divine power, many large and small tree holes and platforms were naturally formed.As long as you make a little modification and install basic running water and power supply systems, you can turn it into an elf-style tree house in fantasy works.

If the tree houses are connected with each other by slings, rope ladders and bridges, a three-dimensional "tree town" can be formed.

On the tallest branch of the tree is a wooden treetop platform enshrining the holy emblem of the forest goddess Melika.

At the foot of the World Tree, the huge vines lying on the ground constitute a green city wall. In the future, stones will be used to build a ground altar similar to Stonehenge, and stone slabs and cement will be used to pave parking lots and streets, as well as for pilgrims. A mountain inn where the convalescents live.

——Akiyama Yusue intends to name this place [Vine City].

"... You're done! From now on, this will be the sanctuary of the forest goddess! Hahahaha!"

After bowing to the gods in the sky and watching the phantoms of the gods slowly disappearing in the air, Megumi Akiyama's cheap mother, Yukie Akiyama, finally relaxed the nerves that had been tense before, and laughed happily, " ...Hui Hui, what do you think of Mom's new house?"

"...It's very spectacular!" Akiyama Hui applauded, "...Although there is no water or electricity for the time being, it should be soon, right?"

"...Ah, yes, it is too unsafe to use fire for cooking and lighting in the forest, so, next, I plan to build a dam nearby to store water and build a small hydropower station. Before that, I will Get by with solar lights for a while."

Akiyama Yusue nodded and said, "...the tap water is unnecessary, the world tree itself has the functions of absorbing, filtering and transporting water."

"...In that case, I can leave with peace of mind. Mom. The construction of the Inari Shrine in California has been delayed for a long time."

Megumi Akiyama looked up at the towering World Tree, and said goodbye to his mother, "...I should go to Sacramento."

"...do you really not consider staying and living with your mother?" Qiu Shan Xuee said reluctantly, "...in Washington state, other conditions are not so good, but there is one biggest The advantage is that it is cool in summer…”

"...No, mom, you have your career, and I have my life."

Akiyama Megumi bowed politely and said goodbye, "...We are all servants of each other's gods now, so let's fight on our own!"

Finally, the day after World Tree's third relocation was completed, Megumi Akiyama bid farewell to her mother and embarked on a journey back to California.

Only the Russian girl Sonia was left in the Olympic National Park, and was ordered to build and preside over a small Inari Shrine at the foot of the World Tree, and found someone to open up a small rice field here as the belief base of Lord Fox in Washington State .

According to Megumi Akiyama: "... Sonia, I heard that you Russians are more afraid of heat, and the desert climate in California may not be very comfortable for you, so stay with my mother in the north and cool off. "

Then, before Akiyama Hui left Washington State, he was slapped in the face by the speed of light...

sex

Washington-Oregon border, Highway 101

A round of brilliant golden sun hangs high in the blue and cloudless clear sky, scorching the vast land viciously.

The hot air rolled on the road, making everything near the ground in the distance look creepy and distorted.

A black stretched Lincoln sedan, surrounded by police cars, was driving slowly on the highway from Seattle southwards through Oregon and all the way to California.Megumi Akiyama sat in the back seat of the car, drinking a drink and playing with his mobile phone, but he was still too hot.

Although the air-conditioning in the car has been turned to the maximum gear, the dazzling afternoon sun still shines through the window, making people dizzy.

No way, on the road outside the car, it was a deadly high temperature of 45 degrees Celsius!

——On the second day after Megumi Akiyama asked the Russian girl Sonia to stay in Washington State to "cool and cool", a terrifying heat wave suddenly hit half of the United States that was still struggling with the epidemic, making the American people seem to experience What does summer in India feel like.

Chapter 189, "Hot Dome"

The heat wave that broke out in the United States today is very strange. It is not that it is getting hotter as it goes south, but on the contrary, the focus is on the northwest coast.

When the highest temperature in Texas and Florida, which are located on the southern border of the United States, just exceeded 48 degrees Celsius, Washington State, Idaho, Montana and other states on the northwestern coast of the United States experienced A record-breaking high temperature of [-] degrees Celsius...

Even the Olympic National Park, where Megumi Akiyama's mother just planted the World Tree, and other summer resorts surrounded by the sea on three sides and surrounded by mountains and rivers, the temperature has also soared to 42 degrees Celsius. 】The project had to be shut down in the heat wave.

But it doesn't matter to those rich people who come to recuperate - there is always a shortage of air-conditioned RVs or mobile homes, as long as they are willing to spend money.

As for the hottest and hottest place in this wave of super heat waves in North America, it is near the US-Canada border in southern Columbia, Canada, which is close to Vancouver, Washington State. The highest local temperature has soared to an unprecedented [-] Ten degrees Celsius!

Even places like Alaska, which are icy and snowy, have a high temperature of 45 degrees Celsius, which has caused polar bears to suffer from heat stroke.

Obviously, for the residents of Seattle and Vancouver, which are less than [-] kilometers apart, such temperatures are obviously extremely abnormal.

Both Vancouver and Seattle have a temperate oceanic climate similar to London, England. They are famous for their raininess and high temperatures are rare.

Usually, the average summer temperature in Vancouver is only 20 degrees Celsius, and Seattle is only slightly higher by one or two degrees Celsius, which can be said to be very cool.

What's more, it is precisely because the summer temperature in this area is not very high in previous years, so most of the citizens of Vancouver and Seattle do not have air conditioners in their homes - even on the hottest days of the year, they only need to wear Shorts and a T-shirt already feel cool.

As a result, the temperature has suddenly soared to 47 degrees Celsius and 48 degrees Celsius—the temperature rise of nearly [-] degrees Celsius, the contrast is too great.

Who can stand the sudden transformation from a summer resort to a purgatory oven?

Faced with the sudden arrival of such unprecedented super high temperature weather, the local residents have no hardware equipment to resist high temperatures, and they themselves do not have the same high temperature resistance physique as Indians and Arabs. in hell.

To make matters worse, half of the city in Seattle still has water and electricity cuts. Not only do citizens have no air conditioners, they can’t use electric fans, and they don’t even have running water. Han, went to the lake and the sea to camp.

To make matters worse, the entire North America is still struggling in the ravages of the "Corona" epidemic. Even those patients who have recovered have severely damaged lungs and respiratory systems, and generally have difficulty breathing and fatigue. Sleeping for more than ten hours, but still groggy...

It is said that he has recovered, but in fact he still has sequelae all over his body, but he is just lingering on his last breath.

Now suddenly encountering a high temperature of over 45 degrees Celsius, it is really... I can't even live on my last breath!

All of a sudden, whether it was Vancouver or Seattle, the service hotlines of all hospitals still in operation were flooded with consultation calls.

Next, as the medical system was broken down, hospitals canceled emergency departments one after another, so that patients could only stay at home and wait for death. On the one hand, oxygen was quickly out of stock, and the black market price of home oxygen generators skyrocketed to thousands of dollars.On the other hand, outside the crematoriums on the street, there were also long queues.

Although cremator furnaces of various styles and shapes have long become beautiful landscapes on the streets of major cities in North America, they are still somewhat overwhelmed by the death frenzy that has soared N times in an instant—not to mention, the guy in charge of cremation , They are also suffering from heatstroke in the heat wave!

Obviously, the manager of the cremator must give priority to his employees, let them jump into the queue and put the ashes in the box, and the others can only go back.

As a result, some family members of the deceased who waited until the corpses decomposed and hadn't lined up began digging pits to bury the corpses in the green belts of the park and under street trees, or throwing the corpses into the sea, or even throwing the dead people into the sea because they were too lazy to dig a pit. Lost it in the ruins of the house, and then left it alone.

In addition, Seattle's sanitation and cleaning mechanism has not yet been restored, and many places are not cleaned, and there is always a pungent rancid smell in the city.

But right now is the time for spiritual recovery...So under the bloody red moon, not only ghosts haunted downtown Seattle, but also rotting zombies began to jump around at night. Skeleton soldiers crawling out of it?

In addition, infrastructure in the Northwest Territories of the United States and Western Canada was never designed to withstand such extreme heat.As a result, water pipes burst everywhere in Oregon, Washington State, and Columbia, Canada, and even electrical cables began to melt.
