Chapter 1179 The Return Journey

Zhang Heng slowed down the car according to what Vitas said, and the gray Lada slowly drove past Aunt Suok's door. Fortunately, what everyone was worried about did not happen. The cabin was very quiet, with almost no movement. .

Although it was not yet night, the sky had already begun to darken. Zhang Heng glanced in the direction of the window. It was pitch dark, and the curtains blocked the inside tightly. No one knew about the weird man named Suoke. The old woman is doing something inside now.

Zhang Heng glanced twice, and Snerana's voice came from behind him, "Let's go back early to eat barbecue."

Zhang Heng hummed, looked away, then stepped on the accelerator, and the car began to speed up, leaving the hut on the hillside behind.

…………

Zhang Heng and the receptionist stayed in the countryside for a total of two days. In addition to hunting, they also went to the river to fish.

Snerana originally tried her best to show off in front of Zhang Heng. After all, hunting is a sport for men, and she went fishing with her grandfather when she was very young, so this skill is still very good. Not bad.

But what she didn't expect was that she couldn't win against anyone in fishing.

It seemed that Zhang Heng just randomly chose a place and threw the bait, and soon a fish would bite the hook. As the morning passed, Snerana looked at the fish in Zhang Heng's bucket, and then at her own bucket. The fish inside and the Kiev meatloaf prepared by grandma in my hand suddenly lost their flavor.

"This is so unfair," Snerana threw away the fishing rod and protested, "Even if you learn languages ​​so quickly, why are you so good at hunting and fishing?"

"There's no secret, I just practice more." Zhang Heng picked up the fishing rod, took off the newly caught fish from the hook, and put it into his wooden bucket. If he was not good at catching fish on the island before, I starved to death for a long time.

I have to admit that life in the country is quite pleasant.

Except for the white mare he met by the stream before and the old woman named Suoke who lived alone in the west of the village, Zhang Heng didn't encounter anything strange again.

Everything here looks extremely beautiful, the folk customs are simple and the air is fresh. No wonder many Pripyat residents are willing to go to nearby villages to relax during weekends and holidays.

It is a pity that in less than two years this place will be contaminated by nuclear radiation and become deserted. Even the wild animals will be used as mobile radioactive sources by the militia teams to clean up. It will not be until decades later that there will be Animals will return here and make their homes here, trees and vegetation will grow again, and some people who cherish their homeland will even sneak back to settle here despite warnings.

It's just that the radiation has been left on this land for a long time, like a curse.

With the bread and sausages made by Snerana's grandmother, Zhang Heng and Snerena set out on their return journey.

There are still about 400 days left in the game of this parallel dungeon, and Zhang Heng has basically learned everything he can learn at the nuclear power plant. Because of his excellent technology and excellent interpersonal skills, Zhang Heng even Became the director of the steam turbine department.

After that, Blyukhanov also talked to him and hinted that he would promote him to the operation department as deputy chief engineer after he had accumulated another three to five years of experience. At that time, Zhang Heng was only in his early thirties, and this progress was rapid. It can be said that he is a flying monkey, and he will also be the youngest deputy chief engineer in the history of the nuclear power plant.

However, Zhang Heng himself was not very interested in this appointment. He entered this parallel dungeon to find a solution to the main mission, not to play with Du Lala's promotion record. The reason why he became the director of the Steam Turbine Department was also to become a senior executive of the nuclear power plant, and to have more convenient access to some relatively core people. documentation.

Now that his work in the nuclear power plant has been basically completed, he naturally doesn't care whether he gets promoted or not. And according to Bryukhanov, the parallel copy had ended long ago and he was no longer here.

So in the following days, Zhang Heng also declared that he had become a salty fish with practical actions. He still completed the work within his scope very well, but other than that, he didn't care much about it.

The receptionist was pleasantly surprised to find that Zhang Heng seemed to have a lot of extra time since he came back from the countryside. The two of them usually wandered around the town when they had nothing to do. From shopping malls to restaurants and even the newly built amusement park, Zhang Heng took him with him. She went to play again.

Moreover, while shopping, the receptionist found that she was no match for Zhang Heng. The latter often walked around for a whole day, even visiting the nooks and crannies. In addition, Zhang Heng seemed to be particularly concerned about urban construction. , when I heard that construction was started somewhere, I would run over to take a look.

It is difficult for Snerana to understand the inherent enthusiasm of men for excavators, but overall she is quite satisfied with her current life. Even though Zhang Heng has completed his language learning, he is still Snerana was a little embarrassed to pay her salary on time, so she took the initiative to do the grocery shopping and housework.

However, she occasionally saw Zhang Heng standing in front of the window late at night, looking at the city below, wondering what he was thinking.

Once you no longer deliberately calculate time, time will become faster.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Heng stayed in the parallel copy until day 1440. That morning, Snerana and her friends went to the stadium to watch the game, leaving Zhang Heng alone at home. He glanced at the clock on the wall.

Looking at the starfish in his hand again, there was only one second left before 24:00. Zhang Heng adjusted his breathing and lay down on the sofa.

When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the hammock, and a feeling of weakness came over him.

——It is the long-lost nuclear fatigue.

Zhang Heng knew that his physical condition had been reset to what it was before entering the parallel dungeon. The good news was that he already knew his current physical condition, including the timetable for subsequent deterioration. The bad news was that he had to feel his body being nuclear again. The pain of radiation destruction.

Zhang Heng didn't want to experience what he had experienced in the ward before. Even if he could endure and handle the pain better than ordinary people, and he couldn't be sure whether the treatment this time would still be as smooth as the last time. No, Zhang Heng Heng was almost certain that this time it would never go as smoothly as last time, so he needed to clear this round of dungeon quickly before his body deteriorated to the point where he could no longer move.

However, Zhang Heng knew that this would not be an easy task. Fortunately, after four years of parallel dungeons, he was already prepared.
