Chapter 165 Earthquake
At noon in early summer, the sun is warm but not hot, and the breeze blows makes people feel comfortable.
The surrounding green peaks are surrounded by huge lakes, standing like a small island in the middle of the lake. The beautiful Hakone Park is a tourist destination during the cherry blossom season every year.
There are cherry blossoms and hot springs. This perfect combination attracts a lot of tourists every year.
You can enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms while soaking in the hot spring. It seems beautiful to think about it. Of course, the premise is that the cherry blossoms in front of you are normal cherry blossoms.
The person in charge of Hakone Park looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. He asked the staff next to him tremblingly, "What's going on? The competitor... is here to poison?"
The administrator of Sakura Forest was also sweating coldly and said embarrassedly: "It shouldn't be."
Hakone Park has half of the official investments. Which competitor has a trick, and they come over to poison them.
The administrator also felt that something was strange. He left for a while and came back and found that the cherry blossom forest that was just beautiful and fragrant, now it was like the ghost forest in hell.
All withered, the brown roots are grey and dry at this time, the pink flowers are wilted and weak, and the beautiful pink ocean is now becoming like a horror movie.
The person in charge wiped his face in a complicated mood and said, "Please close this place first, so tourists must not see it. In addition, please invite some experts to come and see what is going on!"
This incident happened at this time, which was a disaster. When he thought that he was about to usher in a large wave of dissatisfaction with tourists, the person in charge felt very distressed.
...
The next day, the defense team, who had no idea that their cherry blossom viewing journey had already been ruined, came to Hakone with full expectations.
"This is Lake Ashi, it's so beautiful~!"
Walking on the bridge leading to Hakone Park, Emiko poked her head out to look at the lake sparkling in the sun, and sighed with surprise.
Rie Tianhe, who was sitting behind her, couldn't help but turn her head to look; where the lake connects the peaks, there was a faint mist, which was indeed as beautiful as a fairyland.
"I heard that this is still a hot spring town, because Ashi Lake is a crater lake, and the hot springs here also have a curative effect." Nakajima smiled and began to popularize them.
"Can you enjoy the cherry blossoms while soaking in the hot spring?" Yuya's eyes lit up, and his thoughts were radiating with excitement. "In this way, we can still barbecue at night, and then drink a small wine to soak in the hot spring to see the cherry blossoms..."
As he said, his eyes looked forward to Sato Takaji sitting in front of him.
Captain Sato received his intention and smiled kindly, "You can't stay until the night."
Yuya: "..."Ah~What a pity~
In order to ensure everyone's energy the next day, they must go back until almost the evening, and drinking is absolutely forbidden!
The bus that only carried a few people walked all the way and came to the inn that had been booked a long time ago. After a brief renovation, everyone couldn't wait to say that they wanted to see the cherry blossoms.
Emiko and Tenkawa Rie were walking in the front, and the two women kept sighing and taking photos at the surrounding scenery; as for the remaining men...
Watch, watch, or watch...
I had been to the Cherry Blossom Forest for only a few hundred meters, but I had not arrived yet for half an hour.
After finally arrived at the entrance, I found that there were many tourists gathered at the entrance. Everyone was filled with indignation, and the staff of the Cherry Blossom Forest looked apologetic.
"What's wrong?"
Yuya, who was arranged to run errands, squeezed into the crowd and then squeezed out, spread his hands to several people and said, "For some reason, the cherry blossom forest is closed and tourists are not received."
"Hey—?!!"
What the hell? Their purpose of coming to Hakone is to enjoy the cherry blossoms. The food for the picnic is ready, but now they are told that they cannot enter?
No wonder a bunch of tourists outside complained.
After hearing this, Chiba Yuki, who had been following behind silently, had no thoughts. He just calmly turned on the communicator and sent a message to Shirley who was not allowed to receive tourists: "The Sakura Forest no longer welcomes tourists, so we didn't see it as cherry blossoms."
This is what Shirley asked for...
Before they went out, the girl used her slightly blue eyes that were turning around with data, and looked at them without blinking, silently accusing the few people of leaving her behavior again.
Then he asked Chiba Yuki to take photos of everyone's itinerary along the way and tell her that she should participate in the spirit...
"What a pity..." However, I didn't expect that everyone could not see it as cherry blossoms. Tenkawa Rie sighed in disappointment, and then asked Ko Sato Takaji, "Since that's the case, then let's go directly to the hot spring soup?"
Sato Takaji nodded without any objection, "That's all."
After all, there is nothing we can do if the cherry blossom forest is not blooming, and the few people are not like tourists who are complaining about trying to convince the administrator to let them in, and turn directly to set out for the next destination.
However, before taking a few steps, the ground suddenly vibrated violently, and the shaking without warning made many people pounce on the ground.
However, the vibration only lasted for a while before it stopped.
"earthquake?!"
Everyone stabilized their bodies and was a little surprised.
"Will there be an earthquake in Hakone during this period?" Yuya turned his gaze to Chiba Yuki.
"What do you think I'm not from the Earthquake Bureau." Chiba Yuki said expressionlessly.
However, after complaining, he connected Shirley to ask if he had detected abnormal energy fluctuations in Hakone.
After all, something like earthquakes... To be honest, the defense team has a psychological shadow, and unusual earthquakes are even more unsettling.
Just when Shirley was conducting the inspection, a second shock occurred in the place where they were, and the earthquake was even stronger than the first time, and some nearby buildings were dumped.
On the mountain, the natural hot spring pools in some hot spring halls began to boil, bubbling, and it looked very hot. The tourists who were already bathing in the hot spring all screamed and climbed up.
"What's going on?!"
"There is an earthquake, please guide the tourists to retreat first!" The staff of the Hot Spring Pavilion only panicked for a moment, and then quickly informed the guests.
"Hey, what's going on in your hot spring? I almost burned me to death just now!" There were also tourists complaining dissatisfiedly when they retreated.
They lived in District 11 and saw earthquakes many times. As long as they were not the kind of destruction, the people could still remain calm.
After arranging everyone to leave the room, a staff member looked at the hot springs that were so boiling that they kept bubbling. After thinking about what he thought of, his face turned slightly pale.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Another staff member who followed him asked caringly when he saw that his companion looked bad.
"I have been working in Hakone for years and have not encountered such earthquakes. The hot spring pools have become different. You said..." The staff member said, swallowing his saliva, looking at the other party nervously, and whispered: "Can the volcano here be erupting?"
