We have a level system in place for mankind.

Rolands headed north from Korea into the Yellow Sea to Tianjin. If I went to Tianjin, I thought that I would know something because Beijing was also close.

When the cruiser docked at Tianjin Port and landed, a strong alien beast awaited. These alien beasts are often inhabited by a large number of people nearby.

Roland has his Explorers take out the alien beasts. And when they find the Chinese who live here, one of the Explorers will discover the city.

The Chinese lived with a grudge against the elites who had moved to the food area. But I wasn't hopeless. I knew I would survive if the Guardian Killer sourced food from the food zone.

However, I have not noticed that the birth rate is extremely low. This was related to the poison present in the air. It was a poison that made it harder for me to get pregnant.

Those who remain on Earth will eventually die. The United States knows that. Roland thought that he probably knew Japan as well.

Roland transferred the Explorer to the food area and made contact with the Chinese in the food area. Among them, I negotiated with someone in a position like the mayor of Bunye, who promised to meet me at Tianjin Port.

The price of the information is a lot of heart stones. Here, too, the "heart stone processing technique" is used, and it seems that various things are made from heart stones.

Jia Wenyong and Roland, who appeared at the transfer dome near Tianjin Port, began talking. Jia Wenyong is a guardian killer who uses the transfer dome to travel between the food area and China.

It was true that China had only moved the elite to food areas. The official reason is said to be lack of energy. There was food, but electricity that could be produced by hydroelectric and wind power could not emigrate all the surviving citizens.

Jia Wenyong could speak English, so Roland asked questions in English.

"Energy problems can also be solved later. Wouldn't it be nice to have more people to emigrate to?"

“The truth of the people in the middle is, I thought the huge population was going to be a burden.”

It looks like you've noticed that the food area is not infinite. Due to their limited resources, they probably don't want to emigrate large numbers of people.

It seems that the people who emigrated brought all the electrical goods used in their original house into the food area. I brought in a TV, a smartphone, a refrigerator, and a washing machine even though I could barely use radio waves.

But those electrical appliances were barely working. Because most homes were not supplied with electricity. Electricity produced by hydroelectric and wind power was preferentially used in factories.

"If it's a factory... what kind of factory is it?"

“Factories and weapons factories that create the things that we need for our lives, such as spinning and textile factories, pharmaceutical factories, food processing factories.”

Roland thought the situation was the same as in America. Even in the food areas where the Americans emigrated, they lacked energy and could not use convenient electrical products.

People live as if they were back hundreds of years.

Roland remembers the Japanese. They didn't seem troubled by the energy problem. He said he was covering his electricity with hydroelectric power, but it would have required a lot of heavy civil work to build a number of dams.

I don't think it was possible in the food area of Japan, even though it was impossible in the United States.

“Roland, would you like to continue your investigation into China?”

Ashley, my secretary, confirmed it.

“Let's end this once we've checked in on the indigenous people.”

When Jia Wenyong asked about the indigenous people in the food area, he replied that there were still ruins, but the building alone was empty.

Roland decided to end the Chinese investigation and return to Japan.

"Shit, it's armed police."

Jia Wenyong ran away with a screaming voice. Armed police raided the remaining Rolands. The American Explorers resist and flee back to the Cruiser. There were several casualties.

Rolands were relieved for the first time when a cruiser leaving the port of Tianjin passed through the Yellow Sea.

"Armed police, suddenly shooting at us is an unbelievable thing."

Roland denounces it with a voice of anger.

"I used to hate information leaks." Meanwhile, even with his dirty hands, he was greedily gathering information. ”

Even in the food area, chaos can happen in that state.

"What is confusion?"

“It's a civil strife. It could be called a revolution.”

Ashley looks disgusted.

“For the time being, it might be better not to engage with China.”

"Yes, it might be better to cooperate with Japan than China to develop the food area."

The cruiser entered the Sea of Japan and headed north. Then you encounter a Japanese fishing boat.

"That's weird. That fishing boat didn't smoke."

Roland tilted his head. American fishing boats have been transformed into coal-fuelled fishing boats because they can no longer use light oil or gasoline.

Because of this, it is normal to spit out smoke from the chimney. Roland had the cruisers lined up next to the fishing boat. Then a fisherman-like man protests.

"We're fishing here." I'm in your way, so go somewhere else. "

It was Muto, the Explorer, who protested.

“I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask you a question, okay?”

Ashley asked in Japanese. When I was acting with Misaki and the others, I didn't say a word about being able to speak.

"You're people from the United States. I heard from Kojiro."

Roland laughs naggingly. Ashley asked me a question with an interpreter.

"Oh, you were a friend of Kojiro-san's?" Your fishing boat is not producing any smoke. What are you using as fuel? "

Muto frowned. Because the fishing boat was propelled by electricity made of a red thunderstone power generating device.

"He's running on electricity. I'm turning the screw propeller with my motor."

Roland nodded in admiration.

“That's great. Can you show it to me?”

Muto looks troubled.

"I'm sorry, but it's a newly developed product, so I can't show it to you." Please check with Kojiro. "

Roland, hearing that, was surprised. Because I didn't expect the name Kojiro to come out.
