Nuke Miko: Chronicles of America

Seattle, Washington State, USA

Ms. Xuee, whose original surname is Akiyama, is from Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. She is a married professional code farmer, also known as mother animal.

Every day in Wizards of the Coast (Wizards of the Coast) company, I enjoy ninety-six blessings.

Uh, the description of [-] is actually not accurate, because she was greedy for cheap rent and a big house, so she rented a detached house far away from the company.

Therefore, if the daily commuting time and endless overtime are counted, she should be enjoying the more noble [-] blessings now.

I enjoy the three-dimensional defensive social interaction with my colleagues, bosses and clients every day, plus the endless overtime purgatory.

Such a social animal life would definitely be tiring, but life without money would only be more difficult.

Now that the wealth outlets of the Internet have long passed, low-level code farmers who only need to train for dozens of days to get started are no longer a high-level profession, but are just the programmers that come with the company's computer-except for a lot of hair loss. , and have to hire an automatic sweeper, there is no other problem.

While the salary may seem decent, so are the expenses.

What those programmers got in exchange for losing their hair was nothing but expensive hair tonic;

The social animals exhaust themselves until they look haggard, and then use their wages to buy skin care products.

As for the lives of those who died suddenly at the 996 station, I wonder if their life-buying money is enough to replace them with the top luxury urns in the funeral home in the metropolis, plus a square inch of burial space in the cemetery?

What?Those consumables who are struggling on the verge of sudden death don't want to work overtime until they are scrapped, and just want to hang around with a basic salary?

Please, the boss has said that the basic salary is the relief given by the company out of humanitarianism to ensure that those incompetent waste wood will not starve to death, so aspiring young people should forget the basic salary and weekends; no one's success depends on the basic salary , Realized by weekends!

In other words, in the eyes of the bosses, it is already a blessing for social animals to be reincarnated as human beings—so the 007 work system should be implemented, so that they can work hard, strive to die suddenly before the age of 50, save pensions, and then successfully reincarnate in the next life Still be a human being and continue to enjoy blessings...

Hey, what can I do?As long as they don't master the tools of production, workers will always be exploited desperately by capitalists.

Over time, not only labor has been alienated into devils, but people have also been alienated into tools.

This is the fate of capitalist society!

In fact, compared to Japan's sluggishness and lack of seniority, the United States' involution is relatively loose.

Anyway, the Japanese tool people of the previous generation have long been accustomed to dying from overwork, while the new generation of Japanese tool people have learned to work without a teacher.

Therefore, although Ms. Xuehui is very disappointed with the life of a code farmer here in Seattle, she is not too dissatisfied.

After all, it was her own choice.

However, she occasionally recalls her leisurely life in the countryside of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan every day, and feels that the bustling and hustle and bustle of the American metropolis, with its feasting and exotic customs, is not as interesting as she imagined before.

And I imagined what kind of life I should choose if I could be freed from the sea of ​​work suffering one day in the future.

The most dreamy life is, of course, those game settings made by Ms. Yukie’s work unit, such as "The Forgotten Kingdom", "Havoc Setting Sun", "Dungeon and Dragon", entering the mysterious world of sword and magic , to start a wonderful and exciting adventure.

——As the largest game card company in the world and the top player in the fantasy board game industry, the fictional Faerun Great World of the Wizards of the Coast is famous all over the world, bringing magnificent fantasy dreams to countless people, and making DND all over the world Fans read the legends of the dark elf Drizzt and the magic goddess Elminster the Chosen, immersed in the stories of justice and evil, trust and betrayal, survival and challenge...

Dreaming of the scene where the ranger raises his bow, the warrior draws his sword, the knight blows the attack horn, the mage sings a profound spell, and the priest murmurs the holy words of blessing... even if it is a social animal that is gradually numb due to heavy work pressure You guys will also become passionate and full of pride, right?

Of course, dreams are dreams after all, and Ms. Xuee has already passed the age of dreaming.

She clearly knows that there are no druids in the reinforced concrete forest, no vampires in the rusty unfinished buildings, no mermaids in the artificial lake in the park, and no magicians living in the towering TV tower. Necromancers and skeleton soldiers can't be found in the air-raid shelter.And in the narrow and dirty road green belt, it is even more impossible to walk out of the unicorn shining with holy light.

And she, an ordinary code farmer, seems to be just like everyone else, just an ordinary person, and she doesn't have the good fortune to become the protagonist.

The next best thing is to be able to sleep until you wake up naturally just by collecting the rent, just like the Chinese landlady who went downstairs to buy groceries in flip-flops after getting rid of the sea of ​​work. , enjoying the monotonous and happy rice insect life, it seems not bad!

With the passage of time, in the late spring of this year, Ms. Xuee was finally freed from the bitter sea of ​​work.

However, she did not live the monotonous and happy rice bug life like the landlord aunt,

On the contrary, under the impact of the "Corona" epidemic, Ms. Xuee lost her job.

——During March and April of this year, the COVID-19 virus swept across the United States, and Seattle, Washington State was naturally not immune.

In fact, Seattle was even one of the first places in the United States where the COVID-19 virus was discovered!

To add insult to injury, the myopic and fat guys from the Wizards of the Coast (Wizards) sit in front of the computer all the year round and eat more and move less. They love fat house happy water and fried chicken chips. The habit of taking drugs, the body is generally in a sub-health state.

As a result, with the onslaught of the COVID-19 virus, these sub-healthy fat houses from Wizards of the Coast who stayed up all year round, lived unhealthy lives, and most of them had some underlying diseases, rushed to the street in a short time, even the Wizards of the Coast. The president and vice president also died suddenly in the plague.

The next development process is very natural-a large number of business cuts, layoffs of non-core employees, and core employees working from home...

Then it was discovered that too many people died due to the plague, and those who were alive generally left sequelae, which seriously affected the ability to work, and everyone was panicked, and even the working group could not be assembled. In the end, Wizards of the Coast couldn't even work from home. If it doesn't work well, it can only be closed indefinitely.

Ms. Xuehui left Wizards of the Coast in such a ignorant manner, and returned home with severance pay and government relief money.

Originally, she thought that it would be nice to be able to enjoy a long vacation like this, and maybe she could take the opportunity to have a child with her.

But after all, this is just wishful thinking of Ms. Xuee.

Because a few days later, her second husband also unfortunately died under the butcher knife of the COVID-19 virus-and rushed to the street to call an ambulance to the hospital on the first day, and died in the hospital corridor on the second day , I couldn't even lie on a decent hospital bed, let alone an ICU intensive care unit.

But despite this, the terrible cost of calling an ambulance to the emergency room, as well as the expenses of her husband's funeral, still emptied Ms. Xuee's meager savings.

After all the credit cards on hand were maxed out, she became a widow and couldn't even pay the rent.

Looking for a job again?These days, companies are closing down everywhere, closing their doors, and occasionally recruiting, and they all require you to do an unpaid internship for a month or two.

There are relatively popular and high-income occupations in the United States, such as driving large trucks, but Ms. Yukie really doesn't understand these skills.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the United States issued a temporary “no eviction order” to prevent tens of millions of moonlight clansmen living on the streets and disrupting law and order during the epidemic closure period, allowing tenants to live in the house for nothing... Otherwise, Snow Painting The lady is about to be kicked out of the house.

However, in this plane where the United States lay down early and gave up on epidemic prevention, Wang Wang's ban on deportation will only last until July.

Therefore, the landlord aunt has given Ms. Xuehui an ultimatum: It is pitiful to see your husband just died. I will not bother you while the ban on eviction is in effect, and the utility bills will be paid for you. You wait until the end of June, and when July comes, I will drive you away with a stick!

If it is those simple-minded optimists, when they encounter this situation, they probably lie flat, and they can spend a day at a time, until the landlord aunt knocks on the door, throws them out with their luggage, and stands everywhere. The weed-smelling Seattle streets were overwhelmed.

But Ms. Yukie from Japan still has a sense of urgency, and she doesn't want to be a homeless woman until July.

Therefore, in April and May, the widow was busy looking for jobs everywhere, but it was really hard to find a professional counterpart.

In the end, Ms. Yukie found a temporary job with daily wages, basically organizing people to wave flags and shout during parades.

——In the United States, because there are too many parades of all kinds, not everyone knows how to organize a parade and how to create momentum.Moreover, if the tweeters, costumes, props, etc. used in the parade are only used once and thrown away, it would be too wasteful.

Therefore, in response to the above-mentioned needs, various organizations have emerged to undertake parade business for people or groups in need.

This year is an election year, and parades and rallies are particularly frequent in the United States. It is the peak marketing season for the above-mentioned organizations, and they need to recruit a large number of temporary workers.

Moreover, in order to win over a minority of marginalized groups, the Democratic Party gave special priority to recruiting women and people of color when conducting parade propaganda.

So, Ms. Yukie from Japan, and several of her unemployed colleagues at Wizards of the Coast became specialists in parades.

Originally, Ms. Yukie thought that she was just making do with a part-time job, to get through the most difficult months first, and then pay the rent.

However, she never dreamed that what kind of wonderful life she would experience next...

Ever since a black man in Minnesota, who was worth more dead than alive, died under the knee of a policeman at the end of May, the entire United States has been raging, and all kinds of people and groups have taken to the streets. Parades, zero-dollar purchases and burning cars to vent their grievances.

They may not have much sympathy for the nigger who was crushed to death by knees, but their extreme dissatisfaction with reality still ignited the fuse in their hearts, making them take to the streets, waving their fists and shouting, using roaring and violence, To vent their grievances towards life and society...

Politicians, who have always seen every stitch, took the opportunity to put on a stance of being close to the people, and participated in various forms to gain their reputation.

Ms. Yukie and her unemployed colleagues from Wizards of the Coast, who were also hired by a vegetarian group, took to the streets bragging.

But the problem is, because there is no unified coordination and command for these street movements, and the communication between various groups is also very problematic. In addition, the daily life of politicians is to tear each other down, dig holes, and shoot each other openly, so it is inevitable that they often use too much force. , causing things to spin out of control...

For example, in Seattle, the situation of the "Black Lives Matter" movement is unbelievably hot - not only are various social groups scrambling to appear on the stage, shouting under the banner of "BLM", but also state and city councilors take the lead in the parade, surrounded Official agencies such as the police station.

Of course, mere demonstrators will definitely not be able to defeat the violent institutions of the US imperialists, but there are ghosts in the government. The mayor of Seattle first ordered the police to withdraw from the police station, and then voluntarily abandoned the city government, allowing a group of anarchists, Vegetarians, environmentalists, Democratic radicals, homosexuals, non-mainstream religious groups, etc. have occupied the core area of ​​Seattle and established an "autonomous region".

It really is "there are people in the court who like to rebel"!

At the same time, longshoremen at the Port of Seattle also went on strike over wages and health care issues, echoing the street movement in the city center.

Soon, the demons in Seattle danced wildly and basically got out of control. Gangs, associations and religious organizations all rose up one after another, enclosing land as king.

Next, radical forces from all walks of life joined together to squeeze out those moderates who tried to compromise with the government, and announced the establishment of the "Seattle Commune"!

And also elected a 500-member Seattle Self-Government Council as the governing body of the Seattle Commune.

Among them, the leader of the vegetarian group "Pac-Man" and Ms. Laura, a celebrity on a vegetarian cooking show, was elected as the leader of the commune.

And Ms. Yukie, who was hired by "Pac-Man", also won the grand prize in the award for meritorious deeds, and became one of the committee members by accident.

——No matter how ridiculous the "revolutionary regime" established by this "Pac-Man" in Seattle is, this unprecedented feat of "cracking the ground in America" ​​is destined to be earth-shattering and will leave a strong mark in American history!

Although some people think that this is just an absurd show performed by a group of funny people, just like the "Conch Republic" in Florida back then, but some people praise it as another Paris Commune!

Until this time, the mayor of Seattle and the Washington state government, who had been hiding in the villa for a long time and worked remotely, realized that things seemed to be out of order.

(The capital of Washington State is not in Seattle, the largest city, but in Olympia, a small city with only 5 people.)

What's worse, because of the impact of the epidemic, they couldn't suppress this joke-like Seattle commune for a while...

Chapter 152, Pac-Man's Funny Founding of a Country

Because the riots in Seattle were too big, the local police were ordered by the mayor to give up the police station and withdraw from the urban area, which made them full of resentment. Fight the "Rebellion" that has spread throughout the city.

What's more, in the face of this kind of chaos that was clearly caused by politicians deliberately "supporting the bandits", they repeatedly tied the hands and feet of the police and stabbed them in the back, but in the end they still asked the police to wipe their buttocks, and the morale of the Seattle police was also very low. , without the enthusiasm to take the initiative to calm the chaos.

——No matter how hard the suppression is, it won't do any good, and maybe you will be blamed... Who is willing to take on such a self-defeating job?

Fish if you can!

Faced with the passive sabotage of the police, the female mayor of Seattle, who is the vanguard of the white left, is extremely dissatisfied, and she repeatedly exerts pressure and makes various accusations...

The result is that 80% of the Seattle police directly filed a retirement report-aren’t you Democratic radicals bluffing recently, wanting to disband the police and make us all unemployed? (Dismantling the police is one of the core demands of the Black Lives Matter movement.)

The relationship is good, we don't want to be infected by the virus in the city!

I'll just retire and go back to the countryside, so I won't play with you bastards!

Knowing that the police refused to take the blame, the mayor of Seattle was furious when he heard the news, and immediately called the city council to pass a resolution-disband the city's police!

In this way, since the police in Seattle have been wiped out by their own mayor, and they can't be counted on for the time being, they can only dispatch the army.

According to common sense, with the United States, which is essentially a separatist system, the riots in Washington State are best suppressed by state soldiers in Washington State.

——The three states on the Pacific coast of the United States, Washington State, Oregon and California, are all dark blue states with deep roots in the Democratic Party. They are not the same as the Golden Retriever who is currently in charge of the White House. This year is another election year, Washington State Naturally, he is unwilling to bow to the White House.

But the problem is that, like California to the south, Washington State is also the land of the red moon of Reiki recovery.

Therefore, the COVID-19 virus also mutates extremely rapidly here and spreads quite widely.

What's more terrible is that just like the "Spanish flu" that swept the world 100 years ago first broke out in the barracks of the US Army, the National Guard in Washington State is also the hardest hit area of ​​this "Corona" plague. The mortality rate was very high—all officers above the major level died, and there was no one left. The infection rate of low-level officers and soldiers exceeded 70%, and the mortality rate exceeded 25%. It can be said that they have been wiped out by the virus.

In addition, Fort Lewis in Washington State, the seat of the First Army Command of the U.S. Army, has basically become a castle of the dead at this moment. Those middle- and senior-level officers who are elderly have to flee from the plague, young and strong The non-commissioned officers and soldiers have no leader, and their organization degree is basically zero.

Coupled with the impact of the previous "Black Lives Matter" movement, the Washington state government entrenched in Olympia found that it could not mobilize the state's National Guard at the moment-specifically, the orders sent in the past were not accepted, or Someone receives it but no one executes it.

In desperation, Washington State Governor Jay Inslee could only report to the White House and the Pentagon on June 6 to allow the federal government to quell the chaos.

It was already after the Los Angeles Earthquake. Since the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach were paralyzed by the earthquake on June 6, it was difficult to resume normal operation for a while. As the second largest container port in the United States after Los Angeles, the Port of Seattle suddenly increased in importance.

Therefore, in order to prevent the import and export trade in the Pacific Ocean from being completely blocked, and to ensure the smooth flow of imported overseas materials, the Pentagon hastily formulated an "armed clearing operation" against Seattle, preparing to impose military control on Seattle, at least to ensure the operation of the port.

Because the local army in Washington State is already out of use, the Pentagon had to mobilize troops from other places, which delayed a lot of time.

But the problem is, before all the troops were mobilized, the plague of evil spirits in Los Angeles broke out on June 6th.Faced with such an unprecedented supernatural catastrophe, the Pentagon was dizzy, so it had to suspend the Seattle Raiders and wait and see the development of the situation.

Afterwards, as the 40th Infantry Division mutinied and collapsed in the face of the evil spirits’ attack, and the influx of refugees from the Los Angeles Earthquake was superimposed, it caused chaos throughout California. Turn around and head south to aid California.

There is also the 41st Infantry Brigade in Oregon, which also withdrew from the Seattle Raiders and returned to the state to suppress the riots in Portland. You know, one of the three states on the west coast of the United States counts as one, and all of them belong to extreme white left lunatics In the base camp, there are countless weirdos gathered.

Therefore, inspired by the establishment of the Seattle Commune, a group of college students in Portland are also planning to do the same and set up a Portland Commune for fun.

But the problem is that the number of college students in Portland is too small, the strength is not enough, and they can't get along with other associations. They really can't take down the whole city of Portland. Eat guns.

So, after much deliberation, this group of college students directly captured the house of the mayor of Portland and announced the establishment of the Portland Commune by planting a flag here.

——As we all know, Louis XIV, the "Sun King" of France, once declared that "I am the country", so they captured the house of the mayor of Portland. ?

So, wouldn’t it be logical to establish the Portland Commune in the home of the mayor of Portland and have the right to claim the largest city in Oregon?

What's more, the house of the mayor of Portland is just an ordinary country house, and its defense is much worse than that of the city hall.

If you want to make big news, you have to avoid the truth!

But the mayor of Portland, who was kicked out of his home, didn't appreciate the sense of humor of these college students.In a fit of rage, this guy, regardless of his connivance with the street movement, immediately reported to the state government of Oregon for severe suppression.

However, it was too late now, the whole city of Portland was already in chaos, everyone was making noise in the streets, those who bought for zero yuan bought for zero yuan, those who splashed paint on the statue, and those who set fire to their cars set fire to their cars.The morale of the police was low and too lazy to move, so they had to transfer the 41st Infantry Brigade back to suppress...

In this way, when all forces in the United States are being held back, the Seattle Commune, which "cracked the ground in America" ​​under the leadership of the "Pac-Man" vegetarian group, was suppressed and extinguished in the first place. , but gained a short survival time.

Then, for the next two weeks, all of Seattle turned into an absurd paradise where demons danced.
