"You only have 5 minutes, do not wander too far away. Come back once the alarm rings. Also, do not touch anything inside. If … if you think it is necessary, then you can decide for yourself. But do not touch anything that is not necessary. "
Tong Ye ordered the One through the communicator. His wrinkled face scrunched up. "If you touch anything, you might have to amputate your limbs, you know the consequences."
The night was still young. The floodlights set up by the engineering team lit up a plain at the southern edge of the mutated area. Many people were busy working there. It had been 2 hours since the third explosion. Based on the average time between the previous explosions, they still had time to explore the area.
The radiation level inside was not high enough to cause the robots to malfunction. If there was anything that needed to be touched, they could use the robots.
However, no matter how advanced the robots were, they were still cold machines. They had no soul and no sense of perception.
Therefore, the One sent 3 members into the area, Deng Ximei, Walter and Ivan Nikiforov.
For 5 minutes, walking in an environment with a radiation level of 30.6Gy/h meant that they would be exposed to a radiation level of 2.55Gy. Because their nuclear radiation protective suits still had a certain blocking effect, after various adjustments, it was estimated that each of them would absorb a dose equivalent of 500 mSv 1 Sv.
The upper limit of the radiation level was 100mSv and the maximum was 250mSv.
At 500mSv 1Sv, their bodies would be slightly damaged and their chances of suffering from anemia and cancer would greatly increase.
But now, they had no other choice.
"Ximei, be careful." Before the three departed, Lou Xiaoning hugged Deng Ximei tightly. This girl sure had a hard life. She barely had a few good days after her death and now she had to face radiation again. However, in terms of perception, Deng Ximei was the strongest.
Peacock, Malachite, Uncle Dan and the rest also gave their blessings. They would not go in this time but when the need arose, they would be more than willing to sacrifice themselves.
"I will." Deng Ximei nodded and did not say anything else. Her introverted nature made it hard for her to express herself. She did not mention that her heart was actually very warm.
The time was up. Under everyone's attention were the night vision cameras from the drones and the live feed from the headquarters.
The 3 Death Warriors dragged their heavy protective gear and armed with automatic rifles as they rushed into the mutated area. 5 minutes, 300 seconds, this was an extremely precious 300 seconds. Every second was burning away their lives, they could not afford to waste a single second.
At this moment, the people in the two command centers were all tense and anxious, but there was also silence.
Deng Ximei breathed in the air supplied by the oxygen tank on her back. As soon as she stepped into the mutated area and stepped on the charred ground, she immediately felt the difference.
The headlamp on her head illuminated her surroundings, but she could not see the radiation. However, that was not the only reason. She seemed to be able to feel the space around her distorting … She looked at the trees in the distance that had yet to disappear, as if there was a strange force nibbling away at them and growing …
She walked towards the north of the tree farm. Her eyes landed on the scorched ground. With a cracking sound, a sharp pain shot through her head.
Some shapeless illusions flashed in front of her eyes. Scorched earth, a larger area of scorched earth, black shadows that covered the sky, half visible and half visible. They did not have wings, but they were flying in the sky, devouring all the trees and all the vitality … What kind of race was that? They came out from the scorched earth …
It was then that Deng Ximei saw a piece of paper on the ground. It was half-buried by the scorched soil. The exposed half looked like a poster.
She looked closer. It was the sea. There were two dolphins swimming around and a sentence written in Chinese, 'Protect the sea, love our home.'
'Where did this poster come from? Was it here from the beginning? '
Deng Ximei looked around at the empty wasteland and didn't see any other trash. Although the paper of the poster was old and damaged, and there was a faint trace of blood on it, it didn't rot. It didn't seem like it had been buried here for a long time.
She didn't know why, but a strong feeling welled up in her heart.
This was the kind of situation where it was necessary … This poster was very important but she only had this one chance to obtain it.
Perhaps when she turned round, or even turned her eyes elsewhere, it would vanish as suddenly as if it had been a figment of her imagination.
Deng Ximei reached out her right hand and bent down to touch the black ground.
…
The shadowless lamp illuminated the operating table, and the wave lines and values on the monitor screen of the anesthesia machine jumped.
The surgeons in heavy protective gear surrounded the operating table. Elder Tian Fuhou lay flat on the table. His wrinkled face was in a deep slumber from general anesthesia. His damaged right upper limb was exposed to the air. Below the elbow, the ulceration was unbearable and the skin above the elbow was slightly red.
Main surgeon Yang Rongzhong and second assistant Qu Longguang were concentrating on separating the median nerve, brachial artery, vein and ulnar nerve at the inner edge of the biceps brachii.
Third assistant Wang Ruoxiang was helping to stop the bleeding. Even though she was the youngest in the surgery room, she could complete every task easily.
Everything went very quietly and smoothly, but it was also very tense.
Then, Main Surgeon Yang cut through the muscle and then the periosteum. The old man's upper arm did not suffer much radiation, it looked normal.
Not long after, the ear-piercing screech of an electric saw rang out. Primary Surgeon Yang held the electric bone saw steadily and sawed through the humerus on the cutting surface.
Soon, amid the splattering of bone fragments, only a third of Tian Fuhou's right upper limb remained. The rest of the limb was severed just like the trees.
The diseased limb was immediately placed into a lead bucket by the nurse. This was also known as a radioactive storage bucket or a nuclear radiation shielding bucket. The nurse then pushed the bucket with moving wheels out of the operating room. The diseased limb would not be buried immediately, the research department still needed to do some research.
Inside the surgery room, everyone sighed in relief. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, the old man was probably suffering from a normal acute radiation sickness.
They continued to deal with the radial nerve and performed ligation and suture.
…
"4 minutes have passed. The One, please return immediately!"
The alarm blared. The people outside the border looked on nervously. The three members did not wander too far away so they could still be seen. At the sound of the alarm, Sammy Walter and Ivan Nikiforov, the two men, immediately obeyed the order and ran back.
But there was another figure, the slender young woman, Deng Ximei. She had not moved since she bent over to the ground …
"Ximei!" Lou Xiaoning screamed urgently. Uncle Dan and Peacock shouted back, "Come back!" "We're leaving!"
Helen Claire and the other foreign members shouted as well. Even though they had not been in the team for long, they were already familiar with each other. "Please, come back!"
"Deng Ximei, Deng Ximei!" The announcer called again and again. The two male members had already rushed out of the mutated area but she still did not move.
"Something's not right." Lou Xiaoning immediately told the command central, "Has Ximei fainted there? Or what? We're going in to rescue her. "
"Wait a minute …" Tong Ye panicked but he did not panic, "Is it because Ah Mei is sensing something? Or is there something there? "
The drone did not capture it because it was blocked by her figure.
Just as everyone was panicking, Lou Xiaoning and Uncle Dan were about to rush in to drag Deng Ximei out when she suddenly moved. She stood up and rushed out of the mutated area. Five minutes had passed. With half a minute left, she rushed out of the mutated area.
"What the f * ck …" Lou Xiaoning sighed in relief, "Is the ray really that delicious?"
Her left eye and so did Uncle Dan and the rest. Deng Ximei was holding a piece of paper in her hand, it was a poster.
"Miss Deng, what's going on?" Uncle Dan asked in shock.
"This poster was found on the ground inside." Deng Ximei's voice was tinged with excitement, confusion and fear, "I thought it was important so I went to pick it up. When I touched it, I saw an illusion. A group of people were driving into a city. One of the trucks was transporting a nuclear bomb. They detonated the bomb … I also saw Ah Jun in one of the vehicles. "
The group frowned, this … was confusing.
