Zhang Heng asked the three women to wait on the side of the road while the workers gathered together to discuss what to do next. Then, he sneaked into the makeshift house.
This was where the construction workers usually took their lunch break and ate. Now, there were only three people inside — a chef, his workers, and a man sleeping on the table. Zhang Heng lowered his body, and under the cover of the dining table, he quietly slipped into the lounge on the side. He took a few sets of workers' work clothes from the wire bed and changed into one. During this time, he heard the chef complaining, and then he heard footsteps approaching the lounge.
Zhang Heng quickly looked around, and finally rolled under a wire bed by the door.
Through the gap between the bed and the ground, he saw a pair of boots coming in from outside the door. Judging from the style of the boots, it should be the worker. He came in, muttered something, and then walked out again. As soon as his foot left the room, Zhang Heng rolled out from under the bed again.
Throughout the process, Zhang Heng perfectly controlled his body's strength. Coupled with the effect of Kreis's Heart, the two were less than half a meter apart, but the worker didn't notice that someone was behind him. Zhang Heng even had the time to look at the thing in the worker's hand. It was a box of peppermints.
The chef took it from the worker and continued to complain as he opened the box. He then grabbed a handful of peppermints and threw them into his mouth to make his throat feel better …
Five minutes later, Zhang Heng returned to the three women with his work clothes. Kratos raised his eyebrows, "I now believe that you really are Simon, the number one on the leaderboard."
On the other side, Besonova witnessed how Zhang Heng sneaked into the makeshift house under the watchful eyes of a group of workers and came out with the clothes. It was as if the workers were blind, completely unaware of his existence. Besonova had no idea how Zhang Heng did it. When she thought about how Zhang Heng read her mind, she began to believe that Zhang Heng was the devil.
However, Zhang Heng didn't seem to feel anything. It was as if he had done something trivial. After that, he said to the three of them, "Change your clothes. Let's go meet Fumin and Brihanov."
After going through the Rome quest, his assassin skills had reached Lv.3. This level of stealth was no longer a problem for him.
In fact, if they were still wearing their white outfits when they first entered the dungeon, it would have been more convenient to disguise themselves as the workers of the nuclear power plant. However, considering the radiation they suffered last night, the players had already thrown away their clothes. Now, they could only settle for the next best thing, which was to disguise themselves as construction workers.
After the three women changed their clothes, Zhang Heng walked through the No. 5 reactor that was still under construction, climbed over the roadside guardrail, and entered the nuclear power plant.
"Where's the first Administrative Building?" Kratos frowned.
"Find someone to ask. Tell them that we are the workers' representatives. We are here to ask if the project on No.5's reaction rate should continue," Zhang Heng said to Coconut.
The latter nodded and communicated with Besonova through [Whisper]. Before they had time to look for Besonova, they saw a figure walking toward them from afar. It was a tall, strong man, and the muscles on his body and the way he moved showed that he had served in the army.
He spoke from afar with a serious expression, "You shouldn't be here. Leave now!"
"Sir, we are the construction workers of the No. 5 reactor. We are here to ask Factory Manager Brihanov if our work should continue as usual."
"Since when is there a female worker in the No. 5 reactor?" The man frowned.
"Uh … actually, we are the managers of the construction party," Besonova stammered, looking a little flustered.
Fortunately, the man didn't dwell on this point. He just waved his hand and asked the four of them to leave. "I don't care where you are from. Just get out of here as soon as possible. The further, the better."
He raised the set of equipment in his hand and said with a straight face, "I am the director of the nuclear power plant's civil defense department, Vorobiyov. I just measured the radiation value of the nuclear power plant. The radiation here is very strong, exceeding 250 Roentgens in many places."
"250 Roentgens?" Besonova was surprised. "Didn't you say that the upper limit of the instrument is only 3.6 Roentgens?"
"That's a normal range measuring instrument." Vorobiyov looked very annoyed. "They also have a measuring instrument with a range of 1000 Roentgens, but it was buried under the rubble. The one in my hand is from the civil defense department, and it has a range of 250 Roentgens."
"That's great. Did you tell the others about this measurement?"
"I reported it to Brihanov, but he said that my instrument was faulty. It's impossible for it to have such a high radiation value. He even asked me to throw the equipment into the garbage." Vorobiyov shook his head and said, "He and Fumin have lost their minds. The situation here is very critical. You should leave immediately."
"But we didn't receive any orders. The workers are still waiting at the construction site," Besonova said.
"Then let's go home together. The current radiation value is not suitable for outdoor work. I was planning to go to DW's office to warn the others," Vorobiyov displayed the inherent integrity of a soldier.
"But this job is very important to us. I still hope that I can meet with Director Brihanov before I leave," Besonova pleaded.
"You guys are really …" Vorobiyov was speechless. In the end, the director of the civil defense department gave in. "Okay, I will take you to see Brihanov. I know the radiation in the nuclear power plant is relatively low, and you will be exposed to less radiation if you follow me. But remember, after you see Brihanov, no matter what he says, immediately call your people and leave the nuclear power plant."
It was obvious that Vorobiyov did not trust Director Brihanov anymore. The conversation between the two must have not gone well, and it was not surprising. With Vorobiyov's stubborn and strict personality, he was more willing to believe the readings with his own eyes.
The group carefully walked through the two buildings in front of them. The explosion had spewed out pieces of graphite and fuel everywhere. Not only that, but it also caused several small fires in other places. Fortunately, the nuclear power plant's staff put out the fires as soon as they could. By now, the players knew what the black object on the ground was.
It was the graphite that wrapped the fuel rods. If they were close enough, they could even see the grooves on the surface and the holes in the middle of the fuel rods. These graphite blocks, without exception, were highly radioactive. According to Vorobiyov, as long as they approached the area, the detector would explode.
