48 Hours a Day

On April 30, 1986, nearly five days have passed since the reactor explosion.

These days, Zhang Heng and others have been investigating the various forces involved in disaster relief, trying to find key people from them, but unfortunately, although their actions have been very active, they even risked huge risks to return to the nuclear power plant. It has been twice, but the main mission still hasn't improved.

Not only that, but the physical condition of the players is getting worse and worse. After losing the doctor, everyone does not know how much radiation has affected them, but the changes in the body can still be felt.

The swollen arm that was swollen before Zhanfu Juvenile is now a big circle, and the sleeves can't go in, so he can only make a cut in the clothes. In addition, he has ulcers on his tongue and cheeks, and the mucous membranes The layers fell off, making it difficult for him to speak.

The mouse’s condition was not very good. One of his legs was blue-purple, not only swollen, but also a little shiny. It felt smooth and had blisters on the inside. It hurts when it moves. On the fourth day It's not very convenient for him to move, and he can only take a car until the fifth day.

Kuiye's condition is slightly better than that of the two. She just has a swollen face and some bloodshot eyes. In addition, she started to shed hair, not only her hair, but also eyebrows and sweat.

In contrast, Zhang Heng's situation is the best among the four. He just has some dark brown patches of different shapes on his skin, which will cause constant pain, but basically does not affect his movement.

In addition, the five people, including Besonova, also felt fatigue to varying degrees. This point was mentioned before when the doctor was still alive. It should be nuclear fatigue.

The five of them just came back from the cement mixing plant. Honestly, they didn’t have much hope when they went there. Although the work there is also important, it’s obviously not the key. The reason for investigating There is just because there is no other place to go.

Even the most determined Kui Yeh can’t help but be a little shaken since the operation has proceeded. He began to wonder if his decision to stay in Pripyat was wrong. Although there are still many names on the list that have not been investigated, Those are all rescue work that is relatively late in time. The big guys know that the real value is actually Shelbina, the first committee chairman on the list.

The previous four people decided to postpone the investigation of Shelbina because they were worried that it would cause too much disturbance. Zhang Heng also found a way to get Shelbina’s estimate in Pripyat from the dw office. During the stay, the latter was prepared to wait until the fire at the reactor was completely extinguished and the situation was further controlled before returning to Moscow. It was May at the earliest, so the players were not in a hurry.

But as time went by, everyone seemed to have made an appointment, and began to mention less and less about the investigation of Shelbyner. It was not that they were worried about causing any disturbance, simply because Shelbyner was the last player. Hope, everyone didn’t know what else they could do if they couldn’t get clues to the main mission from Shelbina.

On the way back, the atmosphere in the car also became very silent.

Zhang Heng drove through the empty buildings one after another in a military vehicle, and occasionally saw some militia squads who hunted animals. Their silhouettes with guns flashed past the windows of the car. At the beginning, everyone was worried that they would be caught. These militiamen noticed and interrogated, but now in this empty city, seeing the same kind that happened by accident gave the players a sense of intimacy.

Zhang Heng parked the car outside the gymnasium.

He raised his head and glanced at the sky. The sun was about to go down, and it was almost time for them to have dinner. However, when Zhang Heng opened the gate of the gymnasium and walked into the house where they had stored food and water before, they found a mess inside.

The glass bottle with water was smashed, the biscuits and sausage were also eaten, only the packaging bag and residue were still on the ground, and the only intact bottles were probably the canned fish.

"Why, did any militia find this place?" Kui Ye asked.

"No, it's other guests."

Zhang Heng bent down, picked up a box of cans by his feet, and saw the row of teeth marks on the iron box.

"A stray dog?" Zhanfu said with a vague accent.

Although the militiamen started to clean up the pets left in the city on the day of the evacuation, there were still a lot of fish that slipped through the net. During these two days, players also encountered a few stray cats and stray dogs, which are generally seen from afar. , They would use stones or something to drive them away, after all, there is a lot of radioactivity in these animals now.

But those cats and dogs perceive the danger and will run away without waiting for the stone to be thrown on them.But occasionally there are exceptions, especially as these cats and dogs become more hungry in the future, some hungry dogs begin to hunt stray cats in the city and swallow them into their stomachs to fill their hunger.

But soon these dogs will become mentally mad because of the increased internal exposure, and then begin to attack the humans in the city. The militia team responsible for hunting has been bitten by mad dogs.

Players have also encountered it because they have been active in the city, but fortunately there is no danger.

In terms of combat effectiveness, these mad dogs are not particularly powerful, but since they run into the gym, they can’t be left alone. Otherwise, if these dogs sneak in while sleeping at night, whoever gets bitten, there is no tetanus energy here. hit.

Therefore, Zhang Heng took off the [Plague Bone Bow] on his back when he saw it, and drew an arrow from his quiver, and chased it out along the paw print on the ground.

This level of hunting is not so difficult for Zhang Heng. The perpetrator obviously didn't think about how to disguise. After a feast, he swaggered out, leaving traces of it almost everywhere along the way.

Zhang Heng found the latter’s nest without much effort. In the locker room of the top badminton hall, a shepherd dog was lying on his stomach. Its physical condition did not seem to be very good. Like humans, radiation also caused some damage to it. Affected, the hair on its body has lost a lot, pieces, just like alopecia areata, but what is worse is the wound on its buttocks.

It seems to have fought against the squads responsible for hunting animals, but after being shot, it miraculously survived. The blood stains on its chest indicate that it had swallowed some before to satisfy its hunger. Small animals, just don’t know if it is a stray cat or a mouse or a dead bird nearby.
