"We are going back to the nuclear power plant?" Rat's expression changed slightly.
"There is some distance between the administrative building and the reactor, and we don't have to all go back," Zhang Heng said. Zhang Heng said, "If you are worried, I, Coconut, and Besonova can go with you."
"I'll go this time too," Kratos said. "I'm in good condition. Are you guys going to pretend to be experts again?"
"I'm afraid it won't work this time. Fumin and Bryhanov are in contact with Moscow. They might even have the list of experts in their hands. Besides, they are not in the hospital. They can verify it with Moscow at any time," Zhang Heng said. Zhang Heng said, "Fortunately, we have already talked to Dyatlov, Akimov, and Toptunov in advance. So, this time, we can be a little rougher."
"Then let's go together." The doctor hesitated for a while before saying, "We can take care of each other if we do it together."
"The nuclear power plant is now locked down, but I don't want to have a head-on confrontation with the town's armed forces for the time being. After all, we don't know how long we will be here. If possible, I want to sneak in. So, it's easier to act with fewer people."
Zhang Heng then looked at Coconut, "Your body …"
"My hand is f * cking hurting." Coconut raised her injured hand. She had just changed the bandage, and when she tore off the old bandage, the skin on her hand was peeled off as well. Coconut was a little surprised. When she first saw this, she was stunned. She didn't understand why her skin peeled off so easily.
"But I'm still alive. So, of course, I can go to the nuclear power plant with you," Coconut continued, reaching out to the repairman.
The latter raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"
"When we were in the supermarket, I saw you sneaking two bottles of vodka from the shelf," Coconut said. "Let me have a sip."
"This isn't something a woman should drink. Are you sure you want to drink it?" the repairman muttered.
"Hurry up. Don't be so wishy-washy. I've been exposed to radiation. Why would I be afraid of a sip of vodka?" Coconut scolded.
"Okay," the maintenance worker said as he took out a bottle of vodka from his bag. "The doctor said that you have nuclear mania in your nervous system. I won't lower myself to your level. I'll give you this bottle. I won't dare to drink anymore after you touched the bottle with your mouth."
"Don't worry. If we can't complete the main mission, everyone will die. It's just a matter of time," Coconut said calmly. "Dying later means that you'll suffer more than me."
"…"
"Then only the four of us will go this time." Zhang Heng said, "You can send us to the vicinity of the nuclear power plant. Let's arrange a time and place, and you can pick us up then."
Mouse sighed and frowned, "Alas, I don't know when I'll be able to complete this task and leave this damned place."
The repairman drove the jeep back to the nuclear power plant. The bad start at the medical center made everyone realize that this main mission didn't seem to be as simple as it was described. So far, they hadn't received any hints, and everything came from their own exploration. They didn't even know if they were heading in the right direction. It was just as frustrating as the radioactive cloud not far away.
The background of this game, in particular, made the players feel powerless. They had played more than one game and encountered all kinds of opponents, but none of them made them feel as powerless as they were now. They couldn't even find a target to fight back. It was a one-sided beating.
The repairman drove the jeep carefully away from the disturbing cloud, but the residents of the small town obviously didn't think so. Some children rode their bicycles all the way to the small bridge near the Yanov Railway Station. From there, they could clearly see the destroyed reactor. Of course, the radiation level in that place was horribly high.
Some people even moved a rubber mat and placed it on the roof, stretching their limbs and lying on it. Under the radioactive cloud, they watched their skin get tanned bit by bit. Most of them were quite satisfied, because the effect of basking in the sun today was equivalent to a month of sunbathing. And it didn't cost them anything …
After the initial shock, the players gradually became numb to this scene. Not long ago, Zhang Heng saw a few people fishing by the river in the hospital. In real history, one of them even appeared on the cover of a foreign magazine and became famous throughout Europe.
In his words …
'If you are ignorant, curiosity will only get you into trouble, especially if you have no sense of responsibility.'
At this moment, few people in Pripyat realized what was going on, due to their ignorance or the slow response of the officials. The only people who were present and had the relevant knowledge did not want to believe what they saw because of fear or some other reason.
Considering that there was still work to be done, Coconut only took two sips of vodka to relieve the pain in her hands and mouth. After that, she closed her eyes and leaned back in the chair. There was not a single grain in her stomach now, but she still felt nauseous. And now, the metallic smell had drifted from the nuclear power plant to the town. Fortunately, the players had been injected with potassium iodide.
The repairman drove the jeep back to the nuclear power plant with ease. At this time, the nuclear power plant was very different from when they left. The militia had cordoned off the area, not allowing outsiders to enter. However, they were very polite. When asked what happened, they said they didn't know and were waiting for their superiors to inform them.
The firefighters had also finished their work and left, but most of them were sent to the hospital. The repairman drove the jeep around the nuclear power plant and noticed that the fifth reactor, which was under construction, was less guarded.
A group of workers were waiting there. They came early in the morning and noticed that there was something wrong with the fourth reactor. Hence, the construction had stopped. However, no one seemed to have informed them to leave. So, they just stood there, discussing something.
Zhang Heng got out of the car with Coconut and Besonova and asked, "What are they talking about?"
"How bad the radiation situation is, how long can they work here? They also want higher pay as compensation for working in a dangerous environment," Besonova said truthfully.
