Chapter 121 Those Bizarre Things
Day 10 of the road survival game!
"Most of the 36 million elderly people are..." Upon hearing this answer, Hagiwara couldn't help but gasp.
Upon hearing this answer, Matsuda and Morofushi's expressions went beyond just being unpleasant; they were practically livid with rage.
However, Feng Xingshou looked at the three of them with sympathy, hesitated slightly, and then continued, "In addition, the mortality rate for people aged 55 to 65 is 70% of that of Japanese people in that age group."
The mortality rate for those aged 45 to 55 is 55% of that for Japanese people in that age group, while the mortality rate for those aged 35 to 45 is about 32% of that for Japanese people in that age group, and even for those aged 20 to 30, it is as high as 15%.
In short, deaths occurred in all age groups except for teenagers. By the time the real-time data release page was discontinued in 2022, the elderly population in Japan had become extremely small, and the total population had dropped from over 100 million to less than 50 million.
As for the detailed data from 22 to 25 years later, I don't know. I've only seen in the news that Japan has been in a state of chaos in recent years because of these terrible side effects.
I don't know exactly how chaotic it was because I haven't been there myself. I've only heard about the social situation in Japan at that time from official reports in China and videos by some self-media bloggers who worked in Japan.
It has been mentioned that there are robbery gangs formed by Japanese citizens who specialize in gathering intelligence to rob wealthy people who are trapped in sterile wards and unable to leave, and that male escort shops controlled by Japanese yakuza organizations openly violate the Japanese Constitution and other regulations.
They used illegal drugs and psychological manipulation to control many young Japanese women, causing them to incur huge debts at their establishment, or to control their obsession with a particular male host.
They were sold to other countries under the guise of working, and the activities ranged from surrogacy, providing services, blood donations, and organ trafficking. The bullying among teenagers also escalated from physical assaults and verbal abuse to multiple incidents of… well!
At this point, Feng Xingshou felt a little embarrassed to talk about it, so he could only gloss over this part and try his best to make them understand what he wanted to describe in the most concise language: "It is about underage male students humiliating female elementary school students."
There are also cases of men dating men, and even male kindergarten teachers having sex with kindergarten children... This has become a trending topic in China... Even if parents discover this and report it to the police or file a lawsuit, there are no results. In short, when I see such trending topics in China, I feel that the mental state of the Japanese people seems to be very strange.
Furthermore, in order to save costs, TEPCO decided to discharge the wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear disaster into the sea. The Japanese government expressed its firm support for TEPCO's decision, and even when some Japanese citizens who opposed it set themselves on fire in front of the Japanese government building, they were unable to stop it.
Japan and South Korea, which were similarly affected by the silver bullet, also faced serious problems with cults after the silver bullet's side effects caused mass deaths. As the national and social situation worsened, the people who believed in these cults became more obsessed.
This also led to a former member of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, whose mother had suffered greatly from her belief in a cult, publicly shooting and killing the former Japanese prime minister who was a proponent of the sale of silver bullets and who, along with his party, had strongly supported the release of nuclear wastewater into Japan.
"Not 36 million, but over 70 million Japanese citizens!" Upon hearing this, Morofushi Kagemitsu was almost stunned. He had already overestimated the side effects of the silver bullet in his mind as much as possible.
Unexpectedly, the result was more than 30 million higher than he had estimated. Compared to this tragic figure, Feng Xingshou mentioned that the chaotic and disorderly social order and legal system in Japan, which used to make him angry, and environmental pollution issues, all became minor matters.
Even Hagiwara was hearing Kaze Seishu recount the truth behind the assassination of the former Japanese prime minister for the first time. His usually warm smile turned into a bitter one: "So that's why the former prime minister was killed."
.
"I was shocked when I saw this news in China. I never expected that a former leader of a country would be killed by a former member of his own country's Self-Defense Forces, judging from the other party's behavior and his words and statements after being arrested on the spot."
Perhaps they felt that only by doing this could they make the Japanese authorities, who acted with impunity, restrain themselves and do what they should do as administrators for the people! However, judging from domestic reports, the Japanese authorities have no intention of changing their ways.
Nuclear wastewater was still discharged, and even though fish in Japanese waters died off one after another from the start of the discharge, and most countries stopped importing seafood from Japan, it did not stop the subsequent discharge of nuclear wastewater.
In addition, there are many policies that are incomprehensible and unacceptable to the Chinese people. For example, an earthquake occurred on the first day of last year, and domestic news reports said that in addition to the disaster victims who died on the spot, there were also those in the earthquake zone.
The rescue and resettlement of other disaster victims can only rely on the local disaster victims themselves. Even if rescue teams formed by civilians in Japan want to participate in the rescue, the authorities will refuse to accept food donations from kind-hearted people because they do not have the qualifications to carry out rescue work.
Using bizarre excuses such as "using equipment privately is illegal" and "food does not meet national health standards" to block people from entering the disaster area, and even using official equipment to cut off the communication facilities established by civilian relief organizations for the disaster area, only things like origami cranes that are completely useless to the disaster victims can be transported there.
The earthquake left the victims to fend for themselves. It wasn't until several months later that some domestic social media bloggers were granted permission to enter the disaster area. Upon entering, they found that the houses that had collapsed in the earthquake were still in ruins.
Most of the disaster victims lived in flimsy tents. Only a few simple houses were set up for those with serious illnesses or injuries. The relief meals consisted of only one vegetarian meal a day, with very small portions.
Even bottled water wasn't provided. The disaster victims found undamaged taps in the ruins and went there every day to fetch water for drinking..." When talking about those things in Japan, Kazesei Shou couldn't help but have more to say.
Those who had no one to confide in after seeing this unbelievable story, and who were filled with pent-up frustration, all voiced their complaints: "In short, the consequence is that more people died from various post-disaster problems than when the earthquake struck."
However, according to some domestic self-media bloggers, the Japanese government's harsh and bizarre policy towards disaster victims may be an attempt to emulate the US government's handling of the sudden fires on Maui a couple of years ago, when the US used a similar approach.
After watching Maui burn down and many people die in the fire, many capitalists divided up the unclaimed land on Maui or bought land from people who desperately needed money for medical treatment and rebuilding their homes at bargain prices.
The reason why the Japanese government has adopted various insidious policies in the earthquake-stricken areas, forcing victims to either die or sell their land at a low price to live elsewhere, is very likely to help certain people seize the land in that area.
I heard that it was a place with decent agricultural development. The main reason was that the original governing officials there were very capable and tough. They were people who cared about the people under their jurisdiction and prioritized protecting their own people.
So, a few years after the Fukushima earthquake and the nuclear power plant malfunction that triggered the radiation disaster, the Ministry of the Environment somehow managed to get in touch with higher authorities and drafted a plan to "treat the soil contaminated by nuclear radiation".
They discreetly claimed to various parts of Japan that the soil in Fukushima that was contaminated by nuclear radiation had been treated with high technology by their Ministry of the Environment, and that it was safe, harmless, and even fertile, and would be used for public area construction, farmland paving, etc.
Then, through orders from higher authorities, some public works industries were forced to purchase materials such as 'treated soil and gravel' for public construction.
This also forced many official managers in Japan's agricultural regions to accept the Ministry of the Environment's plan and purchase these "treated" radiation-contaminated soils at "high prices" to spread on land that was originally clean, uncontaminated, and radiation-free.
He was an official who resolutely rejected the policy and protected the farmland in that area from being contaminated by Fukushima soil. A few years later, Wanjima, which imports a lot of Japanese agricultural products, repeatedly detected that the nuclear radiation levels in Japanese agricultural products exceeded the standard by nearly 30 times.
The mainland has also detected Japanese agricultural products in routine inspections, and even the biodegradable lunch boxes made from Japanese crops have serious levels of nuclear radiation exceeding the standard. Other neighboring countries have not been strict enough in their inspections of Japanese products.
After hearing the news about the domestic testing results, they also began to conduct strict testing, only to find that many of their imported products, especially agricultural products, also had serious levels of nuclear radiation exceeding the standard.
As a result, questions arose both domestically and in other countries. Journalists, alerted by the news, tracked down the source and discovered that Japan had actually implemented such a bizarre policy, and the so-called "treatment" had not actually taken any action at all.
After the nuclear accident, the soil and rocks in the irradiated area were mechanically removed in several layers, and then the soil and rocks contaminated by nuclear radiation were transferred to an uncontaminated area in Fukushima and piled up there for several years.
Then the Ministry of the Environment discovered that the crops in the surrounding area were getting bigger year by year, and there were even changes such as double peaches and giant apples. After a 'scientific assessment', it was concluded that the soil was beneficial to crops. People in the Ministry of the Environment need political achievements to get promoted.
TEPCO is eager to dispose of these pollutants that are increasing their economic burden, and it would be even better if they could also make up for some of the losses they have invested in the cleanup of those nuclear accidents over the years.
The two sides quickly reached an agreement, which led to the devising of a plan where they would deliberately create nuclear radiation pollution in places that were practically free of it, covering those areas with nuclear radiation-contaminated soil.
Prior to this incident, there had been frequent reports of mass food poisoning and elevated levels of nuclear radiation in blood tests during medical examinations. However, these related news reports were suppressed by TEPCO and the Japanese government, who falsified the medical examination reports...
After this incident was exposed, countries banned agricultural products from areas covered by soil contaminated by Fukushima. Japanese agricultural areas that did not accept this policy became highly sought after, and even the Japanese themselves only trusted agricultural products from these areas.
Unfortunately, after the side effects of the silver bullet appeared, the local tough administrator and most of his staff died. Without these people, the local residents became like cattle to be slaughtered.
The moment the earthquake struck, it was immediately targeted by those eyeing their land…right? However, these are all speculations by domestic self-media bloggers based on the actual situation as reported by official domestic journalists; perhaps…it's not as bad as they speculate.”
