After Vorobiyov and Anatoly left, the four of them walked into the No. 1 administrative building.
Compared to usual, the administrative building seemed a little deserted at this moment, especially the part on the ground. There was basically no one there.
However, the underground bunker was still quite busy. Because of the radiation, many people who worked on the surface had moved here. Besonova stopped a woman who looked like a secretary and asked her where Burhanov and Fumin were.
"There are two offices at the end of the corridor. One belongs to Chief Engineer Fumin, and the other belongs to Factory Manager Burhanov." The secretary-like woman pushed the glasses on her face, looked at the four people, and asked in confusion, "You are?"
"We are from the construction company. We are asking when the No. 5 reactor can start." Besonova had been completely led astray by the players. She could tell a lie without batting an eyelid.
"Then I will ask for you." The secretary-like woman turned and walked to Burhanov's door. Before she knocked on the door, she heard a voice coming from inside. Burhanov seemed to be talking to someone.
His posture was very humble, and his voice sounded a little flattering. "Okay, I got it. Don't worry, the situation is not serious. We are supplying water to the reactor. The current death toll of the accident is two people. I know, I am definitely responsible …"
Burhanov paused here. "And the thing I mentioned before, just in case, you …" But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the person on the other side. After that, Burhanov repeatedly said yes.
The atmosphere in the corridor was a little awkward.
The secretary-like woman waited until the call ended. After that, she stood outside the door for about half a minute before knocking on the door.
"Come in."
"Factory manager, the workers' representative of the No. 5 reactor is looking for you … They want to ask if the project on your side will continue."
"Didn't I tell their person in charge to wait for the news? It's not certain yet." Briuhanov's voice sounded very tired. He rushed to the nuclear power plant immediately after the explosion. He first called Marlin, the secretary of the Central Nuclear Energy Department, who was still at home, and then reported the news to the Ministry of Energy and Electricity. He was also the one who contacted Ukraine.
He was not the only one looking for people. After the explosion, people from different departments were also looking for him, asking him what had happened. Briuhanov had to explain over and over again to calm them down. He did not even have time to sleep, and he did not even have time to eat breakfast. He was in a terrible mood, and he really did not have the energy to care about the workers at reactor number five.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the female subordinate exclaim.
"Director Brekhanov hasn't let you in yet."
However, no one paid any attention to her. The four of them had already squeezed past her. Kratos was the last to enter, and he even closed the door behind him.
"What do you want?" Briuhanov was stunned.
Behind the desk was a short man with curly hair. He looked quite sleek, and his skin was a little tanned, and there were a lot of wrinkles on his face. Probably because he had been busy all morning, his reaction was a little slow. It was not until Kratos gave him a somewhat creepy smile that he realized something was wrong. He picked up the phone at his hand and was about to call the nuclear power plant's security guard over. However, he did not expect his head to be pressed on the table first.
After that, Zhang Heng stabbed the knife he got from the store in front of Briuhanov's face, less than a centimeter away from his eyes.
The secretary-like woman wanted to scream when she saw this scene, but the next moment, her mouth was covered by Kratos. The secretary-like woman in Bersonova's room still wanted to struggle, and Kratos quickly warned, "Don't move if you want to stay alive."
"Who the hell are you?" Briuhanov looked at the knife that almost cut off his eyelid, terrified.
"Tell him that we just want to ask him a few questions. After that, we will check with Chief Engineer Fuming. So, he'd better be honest. Otherwise …"
Zhang Heng reached out, grabbed the knife on the table, and unceremoniously cut off Briuhanov's finger.
Briuhanov's eyes widened, and he still couldn't believe that he had become disabled so quickly. The sharp pain came from his severed finger, and he wanted to scream. However, he did not completely lose his mind. When he saw Zhang Heng put the bloody knife under his throat, he swallowed his cry of pain.
After that, Bersonova translated Zhang Heng's words to Briuhanov.
The bridge of Briuhanov's nose was sweating from the pain. He just stared at his severed finger, not even listening to what Bersonova said.
Coconut took out a pack of gauze from her pocket and threw it to Briuhanov. The latter quickly wrapped up his still bleeding finger, then raised his head and looked at Zhang Heng and the others again.
He now knew that the other party did not come with good intentions. The brutality of this group of people was completely beyond his imagination.
In a short moment, many speculations flashed through Bryuhanov's mind, most of which were related to the origin of the four people. He even thought of a certain secret department, but Bryuhanov couldn't figure out what was so important about Chernobyl that it was worth it for those people to come here.
"Who were you talking to on the phone just now?" Bersonova asked.
"Ah, oh, I was talking to Shelbina, the deputy chairman of the SL Council of Ministers," Briuhanov said. "In fact, he called me to ask about the current situation of the nuclear power plant."
"What did you tell him?"
"I told him the truth," Briuhanov said. "The water tank exploded. After that, we have been following the instructions from above to supply water to the reactor. Chief Engineer Fuming is in charge of this work. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."
"You are lying!" This time, before Coconut could pass the question to Bersonova, the latter exploded first and said angrily, "The reactor is finished. Didn't Vorobyov tell you the readings of the measuring instrument? And Anatoly, who was sent to die by you, was sent to the roof according to your order. Why don't you believe it?! You are the director of the nuclear power plant. Shouldn't you do something? Your wife and children are also in Pripyat, right? Are you going to watch them get irradiated with your own eyes?! "
"What can I do?" Briuhanov cried. "I just suggested to Shelbina to evacuate the residents of Pripyat, but he refused. He told me not to cause a panic."
