Chapter 1165 New Guests
On April 30, 1986, nearly five days had passed since the reactor exploded.
Over the past few days, Zhang Heng and others have been investigating all parties involved in disaster relief, trying to find key figures. Unfortunately, although their actions have been very active, they even ran back to the nuclear power plant at great risk. I tried it twice, but there was still no improvement in the main mission.
Not only that, the physical condition of the players is getting worse and worse. After losing the doctor, no one knows the specific extent of the impact of radiation on them, but the changes in the body can still be felt.
The arm that was swollen before the boy was subdued is now so big that the sleeves can't be put on, so he can only make a cut in the clothes. In addition, there are ulcers on his tongue and cheeks, and the mucous membranes are all broken. The layers fell off, making it difficult for him to speak.
The mouse's condition wasn't too good either. One of his legs was now blue-purple, not only swollen, but even a little shiny. It felt very smooth, and there were blisters on the inside. It hurt when he moved. On the fourth day It was already inconvenient for him to move around, and on the fifth day he could only take a car.
Kuiye's condition was slightly better than the two. She only had a swollen face and some bloodshot eyes. In addition, she also started to lose hair, not just her hair, but also her eyebrows and fine hair.
In comparison, Zhang Heng's condition is considered to be the best among the four. He only has some dark brown patches of different shapes on his skin, and there will be continuous pain, but it basically does not affect his movements.
In addition, five people, including Besonova, also felt fatigue to varying degrees. This was mentioned by the doctor before when he was still there, and it should be classified as nuclear fatigue.
The five of them had just returned from the cement mixing plant. To be honest, they didn't have high hopes when they went there. Although the work there was important, it was obviously not critical. The reason why they went to investigate It's just there because there's nowhere else to go.
Now that the operation is in progress, even Kui Ye, who was the most determined before, can't help but be a little shaken. He begins to wonder if the decision to stay in Pripyat was made wrong. Although there are still many names on the list that have not been investigated, Those are all rescue work relatively late in time. Everyone knows very well that the real value is actually the committee chairman Sherbina who is ranked first on the list.
Previously, the four people decided to postpone the investigation of Shcherbina because they were worried that it would cause too much noise. Zhang Heng also found a way to get the information Shcherbina expected in Pripyat from the DW office. During the stay, the latter is prepared to wait until the reactor fire is completely extinguished and the situation is further controlled before returning to Moscow. It will be May at the earliest, so the players are not in a hurry.
But as time went by, everyone seemed to have made an appointment, and began to mention the investigation of Sherbina less and less. It was not because they were worried about causing any commotion, but simply because Sherbina was the last player for the players. Hope, everyone doesn't know what else they can do next if they can't find clues to the main mission in Sherbina.
On the way back, the atmosphere in the car also became very silent.
Zhang Heng drove the military vehicle past empty buildings one after another. Occasionally, he could see some militia teams hunting animals. Their figures with guns flashed past the car window. At the beginning, everyone was worried that they would be killed. These militiamen noticed and stopped the car to question them, but now in this deserted city, seeing similar people appearing by chance gave the players a sense of intimacy.
Zhang Heng parked the car outside the stadium door.
He looked up at the sky. The sun was about to set, and it was almost time for them to have dinner. However, when Zhang Heng opened the door of the gymnasium and walked into the room where they had stored food and water, he found that it was a mess.
The glass bottle for water was smashed, and the biscuits and sausages were eaten. Only the packaging bags and residue were left on the ground. The only ones that were intact were probably the few bottles of canned fish.
"Why, did any militiamen discover this place?" Master Kui asked.
"No, it's other guests."
Zhang Heng bent down, picked up a box of cans at his feet, and saw the row of tooth marks on the iron box.
"A stray dog?" the young man said with a vague accent.
Although the militiamen started cleaning up the pets left in the city on the day of the evacuation, there were still many fish that slipped through the net. In the past two days, players also encountered several stray cats and dogs. Generally, they can be seen from a distance. , they will use stones to drive them away. After all, these animals now have a lot of radioactivity in their bodies.
When those cats and dogs sense danger, they will run away immediately before stones are thrown on them. But there are occasional exceptions, especially as time goes by, these cats and dogs become more and more hungry, and some hungry dogs begin to hunt stray cats in the city and eat them to satisfy their hunger.
But soon these dogs will become manic due to the increased internal exposure, and then begin to attack humans in the city. The militia team responsible for hunting was bitten by the mad dogs.
Players have encountered it because they have been active in the city. Fortunately, no danger has occurred.
In terms of combat effectiveness, these mad dogs are not particularly powerful, but since they ran into the gymnasium, they cannot be left alone. Otherwise, if these dogs sneak in again while sleeping at night, whoever gets bitten, there is no tetanus power here. beat.
So when Zhang Heng saw this, he took off the [Plague Bone Bow] from his back, pulled out an arrow from his quiver, and chased it along the paw prints on the ground.
This level of pursuit was not very difficult for Zhang Heng. The perpetrator obviously did not think about how to disguise himself. After having a feast, he walked out in such a swagger, leaving traces of it almost everywhere along the way.
Zhang Heng found the latter's lair without much effort. Outside the locker room of the top-floor badminton hall, there was a shepherd dog lying on its back. Its physical condition did not look very good. Like humans, radiation also caused some damage to it. As a result, it lost a lot of hair in patches, just like alopecia areata, but what was even worse was the wound on its butt.
It seemed to have fought with the teams responsible for hunting animals, and miraculously survived after being shot. The blood stains on the hair on its chest showed that it had swallowed some before to satisfy its hunger. For small animals, I don’t know if they are stray cats nearby, mice, or dead birds.
