48 Hours a Day

Chapter 1153: Next Steps

It's 12: 20 PM when the players get together again.

Almost 11 hours have passed since the explosion, and Zhang Heng has questioned all those involved in the nuclear power plant and figured out why Pripyati in history did not organize the evacuation until more than thirty hours later, although the players' main line of concern remained static.

Not just coconuts, but other players couldn't help but start mumbling.

“Gatorov, Akimov, Toptunov, Bluhanov, and Fuming, we've all seen this before, and yet none of the tips trigger the completion of the main mission, is it true that this explosion has nothing to do with them?” The mouse wrapped his finger.

“Fuming and Brekhanov are definitely in trouble.” Zhang Hengdao, "they started this safety experiment without approval, which Bryuhanov himself said. Others couldn't say, but the two leaders certainly couldn't escape. ”

He just changed his clothes and threw the work suit he had previously worn to the nuclear power plant into the trash bin beside him.

The doctor also said, "The main task this time is to find key people, but didn't actually say how many key people. We were previously caught in a misunderstanding, and we felt we needed to find the person most responsible, but is it possible, in fact, that we need to find all the parties involved in this accident to complete the task? ”

“If that's the case, the trouble will be big,” Grandpa Kwai frowned, "we don't even have an exact number of people, how do we know who we're going to leave behind, how many we found and how few we're missing? ”

“Who else is on the list?” The mechanic also asked.

“Uh, the designer of the nuclear power plant, or more precisely the designer of the graphite slow boiling water reactor, but the problem is we don't know who he is, and it looks like he's not in Pripyati.” Mouse Path.

He is also a little panicked right now, before everyone said their views and worked together to improve the list of suspects, but in fact, the vast majority of people focused on the top of the list and had no idea that things would come to this.

With the names precluded one by one, the ones left behind are unlikely, but very troublesome to find.

If you put it in the usual way, it's a little bit of a survey, but the last thing players need in this round is time.

Although the situation of others other than coconuts is fairly good now, according to the doctors, it's probably just a temporary illusion that when the reactor explodes, they're next to each other and should absorb a lot of radiation that destroys their DNA and prevents the cells from continuing their normal renewal, and once these cells are out of their life cycles now, they're going to die.

And in the words of a doctor, that's probably the most painful and cruel of all known ways of dying.

“What are we going to do, go to Moscow next?” Ask the young man, “but where do we start in Moscow? ”

“I asked Brekhanov, who designed the Chernobyl nuclear power plant by the Institute of Hydropower Engineering, who was among the first experts to come after the explosion to V.S. Konwitz, deputy director of safety at the nuclear power plant.” Zhang Hengdao, “he should know who designed rbmk. ”

“Great.” Mouse Path.

The players were relieved to hear that they didn't want to go to Moscow. In fact, given the current radiation situation in Pripyati, nobody wanted to stay here. However, according to previous gaming experience, the main task rarely needed to be completed across the city, and it was easy to leave Pripyati. I'm afraid it won't be that simple to come back later.

In more than two decades, when Moscow realizes what is really happening in Chernobyl, it will be completely taken over by the military, all the people will be forcibly evacuated, and this will become an empty city.

In fact, in the morning, empty buses had been seen entering Pripyati, and roads near the nuclear power plant had been guarded by militias, in addition to which militia units from elsewhere assembled at the Yanov railway station.

This may sound incredible.

Because after the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, it was not the experts headed by Brekhanov and Fuming who first realized the danger, but the militias of Pripyati, who took over the scene from the fire brigade and then began blocking the road to the nuclear power plant, especially the fishing sanctuaries, which were people's favorite.

Even an interim emergency command was formed, which was quickly mobilized under the leadership of the Deputy Minister of the Interior, Gennady Vasilievich Beldov, and that is why it could then be implemented so quickly after the decision to withdraw was taken by the upper echelons.

Beldorf arrived at the site of the explosion around 5 a.m., while at 7 a.m. 1,000 people from the Ministry of the Interior had arrived at the site of the accident, after which Beldorf contacted the transport services in Kiev to provide 1,100 vehicles for possible evacuation later.

Unfortunately, however, although the Deputy Minister smelled dangerous, until then he still did not know how dangerous this invisible opponent he was facing, so the 1,000 Ministry of the Interior militiamen present, like those firefighters, did not take any precautions and were exposed to radiation for a long time, but because they had secured the dangerous area, they did significantly reduce the risk of other people entering the nuclear power plant, which of course also caused some trouble for the players in their subsequent search for Brekhanov and Fuming.

However, after receiving information from Fuming and Brehanov that the reactors were safe, Pripyati's dw office eventually failed to issue an evacuation order or even spread rumours, and First Secretary A.S. Gamanuk was still waiting for a decision from the top.

However, what happened in the hospital could not be hidden. In the morning, people were still optimistic and went to school as usual, but by noon, as more and more people were feeling sick and coughing, rumours and trail news began to spread.

When Zhang Hengquan came out of the nuclear power plant, on their way back to Pripyati, they could also see that the pedestrians on the road became obviously seriously worried, and even some of them left Pripyati by themselves or by train without waiting for official notice.
