Chapter 217 Warning! Warning! Nuclear Leak! (Ch 217)

The atmosphere at the Prime Minister’s residence was tense.

In the spacious cabinet meeting room, Kishio looked solemn.

The originally serious meeting turned into chaos due to a series of cyber attacks. The ministers argued and blamed each other, and the voices became louder and louder, almost blowing the roof off.

“What are you doing in the cybersecurity department? The country invests so much in the budget every year, but it’s useless at the critical moment!” An official with gray hair and gold-rimmed glasses slammed the table and pointed at a cybersecurity department head sitting in the corner and cursed. “Now that such a big thing has happened, you have to take full responsibility!”

The official who was scolded lowered his head, said nothing, and let the spit splatter on his face.

Just then, a rapid phone ring pierced the noise in the conference room.

“Ding-ling-ling…”

The bright red phone in front of Kishio rang like a death warrant. This phone was directly connected to the Cabinet Intelligence Research Office and would only ring when a major emergency occurred.

Kishio’s heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. He took a deep breath, picked up the phone, and asked in a deep voice: “This is Kishio, what’s the matter?”

An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: “Prime Minister, it’s bad! Fukushima… Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Plant, there has been a nuclear leak accident.”

“What?!”

Kishio’s face suddenly changed, and he stood up suddenly, almost dropping the phone in his hand. His mind went blank, as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

The meeting room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The ministers stared at Kishio in amazement, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

“What the hell is going on? Nuclear leak? How could this happen?!”

Kishio suppressed the shock in his heart and asked in a stern voice.

The voice on the other end of the phone was even more panicked: “Mr. Prime Minister, according to the latest intelligence, both nuclear power plants have been hacked, the control systems are completely paralyzed, and now they are out of control.”

“Bang!”

Kishio could no longer hold the phone in his hand and dropped it onto the table with a dull thud. His face was as pale as paper and his body was trembling slightly, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other, fear written all over their faces.

Tokyo.

In the living room of an ordinary house, a male news anchor sat upright on TV, reporting the latest international news. Suddenly, the TV signal was interrupted with a “sizzle”, and snowflakes flashed on the screen. Then the picture suddenly changed to the surveillance picture inside the Fukushima nuclear power plant. Panicked staff ran wildly in the corridor, and the piercing alarm sounded throughout the nuclear power plant. At the bottom of the screen, an emergency notice in bold red font was scrolling: “Nuclear leak alert! Nuclear leak alert!”

The face of the middle-aged man watching TV, Kobayashi Ichiro, suddenly changed, and the remote control in his hand fell to the ground with a “click”. He shouted in a trembling voice: “Come out quickly, watch the TV news, something big has happened!”

The wife and children ran out of the room upon hearing the noise. When they saw the images on TV, they turned pale with fear. The wife asked tremblingly, “Is this… a nuclear leak, true or false?”

Ichiro Kobayashi said in a trembling voice: “I don’t know… but it looks bad! The TV said there was a nuclear power plant leak!” The family gathered together in horror, watching the flashing images on the TV screen, and a sense of panic spread in the air.

At the same time, on the streets of Tokyo, citizen Kawamura was driving home.

A cheerful music was playing in the car, and then an urgent news suddenly broke in: “Dear listeners, breaking news.

There was a serious nuclear leak at the Fukushima Daiichi and Fukushima Daini nuclear power plants…”

Kawamura was so frightened by the sudden news that his whole body shuddered, and his hands holding the steering wheel began to tremble.

“Bang!”

Before he could react, the car on the other side suddenly sped away. Kawamura had no time to dodge and the car hit him directly.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

There were more than a dozen collisions in succession, and Kawamura’s car was also hit, making him dizzy. When he came to his senses, he noticed that a chain rear-end collision had occurred on the street. More than a dozen cars collided with each other, blocking the entire road.

Several panicked drivers got out of their cars to check the situation. Some cursed, some called the police, and the scene was in chaos. A middle-aged driver got out of his car and shouted in fear: “The end of the world is coming! Nuclear leakage! We are going to die!”

His words were like a bomb, exploding in the crowd, making the already chaotic scene even more uncontrollable.

Ginza Square.

People were coming and going. The huge electronic screen was originally playing advertisements of well-known brands, but suddenly the screen changed to show the real-time monitoring screen of the Fukushima nuclear power plant. The people in the square were attracted by this sudden change and stopped to watch.

In the picture, the staff of the nuclear power plant are evacuating urgently, and the shrill alarm is frightening.

At the same time, some people’s mobile phones also received urgent push messages: “Emergency alert! A nuclear leak has occurred at the Fukushima nuclear power plant. I repeat, a nuclear leak has occurred at the nuclear power plant. All citizens are requested to seek shelter immediately!”

The crowd in the square suddenly exploded. Some people ran around in panic, some cried in despair, some took out their phones and frantically contacted their families, and one person suddenly laughed like crazy, “I knew it! I knew it! The end of the world is coming! Hahahahaha!”
