400: Chapter 400: Big Changes in the East Island Country

After Putian Xiaoyezi brought the video of the ecological crisis back to East Island Country, it caused a major earthquake in the entire political arena.

December 6, 2055.

Night.

Higashida Hirofumi, the Prime Minister of the East Island Country Cabinet, was assassinated at his home.

The same night.

Subsequently, 78 more members of parliament disappeared or died for various reasons.

The entire East Island Country was shrouded in a thick cloud of gloom.

December 8, 2055.

Both houses of parliament announced that Higashida Hirofumi was unanimously elected as the new Prime Minister of the Cabinet and began to reorganize the cabinet.

The next day.

The cabinet issued a "Letter to All Citizens."

This was actually an announcement.

The announcement officially disclosed the fact that the ecological crisis would erupt two years later, calling on all citizens to unite and jointly respond to the impending challenges.

In addition, the announcement also put forward the concept of universal conscription.

The so-called universal conscription was actually a mandatory conscription order. The announcement stated that all citizens of East Island Country aged between 16 and 56, regardless of gender, as long as they were healthy, must serve in the military.

Furthermore, the newly occupied Southeast Asian countries also could not escape their clutches.

All adult men and women were gathered and transported to Myanmar-Vietnam, south of Hua Country.

Their large-scale recruitment must have another motive.

And this motive was Hua Country.

At this stage, the area south of the Yangtze River in Hua Country, except for Binjiang where Oriental Chen was located, had long been deserted.

The East Island Country cabinet coveted this area.

According to their analysis, after the ecological crisis erupted, the global temperature drop would cause most parts of the world to be covered by ice and snow. Then tropical regions might become the last habitat for humanity.

Therefore, Myanmar-Vietnam and the area south of the Yangtze River in Hua Country became areas they had to occupy.

Why did Hua Country withdraw from here before?

On the one hand, it was because too many mosquitoes led to the difficulty of curbing the virus, and on the other hand, mutated insects posed a huge threat to humans.

Then was East Island Country not afraid?

The answer was no.

Because behind them, there was the support of the Red Coat Sect.

The question was, even the Red Coat Sect could not fundamentally resist the virus, so how could it help East Island Country?

The answer was that the leadership of East Island Country thought it could.

If they thought they could, they naturally weren't afraid.

As for mutated insects, they had a crude method called: Virus Gel Bait Insecticide Method. This method integrated folk insect extermination methods and several top-secret virus experiment files.

The implementation process was as follows.

They would regularly throw bait into insect-dense areas and around human living areas to induce mutated insects to feed.

However, the bait contained a virus called Kasi and a delayed-lethal poison.

Mutated insects would be infected after eating, but would not be poisoned immediately.

After returning to their nests, the poison would take effect, and the insects would die.

At this time, the Kasi virus would play a role; it would cause the host's corpse to emit a certain alluring scent, inducing its kind to feed on it, thereby achieving its own spread.

In addition to making the corpse emit a scent, this virus also had a characteristic: it destroyed the reproductive system.

Insects that ate the corpses would soon be poisoned to death one after another, and the scent emitted would induce more mutated insects to feed.

Although the potency of the poison was limited, the destructive power generated would certainly not be small.

A massive insect population, under the dual destruction of poison and virus, might very quickly become extinct.

There was also the most inhumane point: they used humans to make the virus gel bait.

...

December 22, 2055.

Tachileik, Central Myanmar-Vietnam.

This was a survivor gathering place.

Due to Myanmar-Vietnam being located in a tropical region, the virus was rampant, and a large number of people died, so survivors were extremely rare.

And there were still more than five thousand survivors here.

"Brother, it's bad, the devils are here!" a dark-skinned, rough man ran into the tent in a panic.

"How many people?" asked the dark-skinned man with a scar on his face.

"It looks like there are two to three thousand people," the rough man replied.

"Damn it, do these bastards think there's no one left in our Myanmar-Vietnam? Two or three thousand people dare to come here? They don't take us seriously, do they?" The dark-skinned man threw his dagger onto the table, stood up, and cursed.

"Boss, he must be floating after a couple of drinks, right?"

The rough man's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.

"Mantis, no problem for you, right?" The dark-skinned man looked at Mantis and asked.

Mantis, whose real name was Tang Kun, was a member of the Infiltrators, serial number: 6.

"You finished your bragging, and now you want me to do the work?" Tang Kun asked with a smile.

"What's yours and mine, we're brothers, right?" the dark-skinned man said with a laugh.

"You, ah, you're all talk!" Tang Kun pointed at him, feigning a scolding.

"Just enough to eat the food given by heaven!" The dark-skinned man was unusually thick-skinned.

"Alright! You talk, I'll act!" Mantis was truly speechless with him, shook his head, and walked out.

With a light leap, he jumped onto the four-story high rooftop.
