48 Hours a Day

Zhang Heng changed his clothes, got off work from the power plant, and returned to his residence.

After opening the door, I saw that the receptionist was busy killing fish and was preparing to make squirrel mandarin fish. She learned this dish from Zhang Heng. Of course, Ukraine does not have mandarin fish, so I can only use it in the Pripyat River. Replace other fish caught.

The receptionist asked Zhang Heng in Ukrainian while scraping the scales, "How is your work today?"

"Well, it's still the same." Zhang Heng put the paper bag in his hand on the table, "The pickles and jam you want, I bought it for you when I got off work."

"Great, I just can use it." The receptionist said with joy.

Zhang Heng unexpectedly got another 2 points when he bought pickled cucumbers. So far, he has got 192 points in parallel dungeons. The upgraded skills are almost upgraded, and the Chernobyl accident, Although Zhang Heng was not in the central control room at the time, combined with the previous conversations with the parties, he could basically restore the events of that night to a good degree, but it is strange that there is still no movement in the main task.

During this period of time, none of the system prompts Zhang Heng received was related to finding key people in the main mission, as if the system had completely forgotten this matter.

"Are you going to rest tomorrow?" The hostess came out of the kitchen again at this moment, "Can you drive me to my grandma's house? They live in the country, which is some distance away."

"Good." Zhang Heng said.

He has already investigated about the reactor, and there is nothing else to do in the short term. Zhang Heng doesn’t mind being a driver for the receptionist. He just goes to the countryside to relax. By the way, thank the receptionist for this. Serious teaching for some time.

The two woke up early the next day. After breakfast, Zhang Heng drove the second-hand Lada he bought to see her grandparents with a beautifully dressed receptionist.

In fact, this area was already inhabited before the construction of the nuclear power plant and Pripyat.

More than 10,000 of them live in Chernobyl, which is located in the central area, while the remaining 40,000 are scattered in various villages. At that time, the population density here was very low, often seen in dozens of kilometers. There are less than one family, and the nearby farmers mainly rely on farming for their livelihoods. Of course, there are also some hunters and fishermen.

The gray Lada is driving on a muddy dirt road. There are dwarf pine nearby. It is winter now. There was a heavy snowfall about three days ago. There is a lot of white snow remaining on the pine trees, and the temperature has dropped. It's below freezing, but the air outside the window is very fresh.

Unlike the town, everything here basically retains its natural and primitive appearance. There are mud and moss everywhere in the woods. From time to time, you can see some small animals coming out to forage. Zhang Heng saw two on the road. A wild deer.

They don’t need to hibernate. They have been replaced with long and thick fur in autumn. In addition, they have accumulated enough fat under the skin to help them resist the harsh winter of cold and low food. These wild deer usually hide in the deep forest. , I don’t know if it was because of the heavy snow that made them bolder and ran to the edge of the woods.

When passing a stream, Zhang Heng got out of the car and washed his face with cold water. When he raised his head, he didn't know when a mare appeared on the other side of the stream.

Its hair is snow-white, without a trace of impurities, slender body, strong muscles, full of strength and graceful beauty, if it weren't for the lack of sharp horns on its head, it would simply be a unicorn out of myth.

This beautiful beast is standing quietly by the river, looking at Zhang Heng opposite.

When the latter was about to stand up, the white mare also raised its hooves, turned and ran to the depths of the woods.

"Did you see that?"

Zhang Heng walked back to the car and asked the receptionist in the passenger seat, who was at a loss, "What do you see?"

"That white horse? Just stood on the bank of the river."

"Oh, sorry, maybe I got up too early this morning, I'm still a little sleepy," the receptionist yawned. "I seemed to squint for a while and didn't see anything. White horse? Probably it is. It’s from a nearby villager’s house.

"Unlike, it should be a wild horse." Zhang Heng said.

"Wild horse? This is impossible. I grew up here when I was a child. I never knew what wild horses were nearby." The receptionist shook her head and said, "Could it be that you read it wrong?"

"It's possible."

Zhang Heng didn't distinguish, and got back into the driving seat, started the car, and drove over the stream in front of him.Zhang Heng had already seen it when he was washing his face. The water level here is very shallow, so there is no need to worry about flooding the exhaust pipe.

After crossing the river, Zhang Heng also took a special look at the place where the white mare stood just now, and found that there were no horseshoe prints there. The previous scene seemed like it had never happened before. The white mare looked like Appears like a ghost, and disappears like a ghost.

Around ten thirty in the morning, Zhang Heng and the receptionist arrived at the destination of the trip.

The latter’s grandfather and grandmother, as well as older sister and brother-in-law welcomed them warmly. At noon they also prepared red cabbage soup and pork sausage. After the meal, the receptionist’s brother-in-law proposed to go hunting in the forest. .

"We can take some rabbits, wild deer, etc., so that we can have barbecue in the evening." The waiter's brother-in-law said, "By the way, Ivan, can you use a gun?"

"What are you thinking? Snerana said, Ivan works in a nuclear power plant and is an educated person, but it doesn't matter. You can teach him then, maybe he will like hunting." Nerana's sister said enthusiastically.

"We have to find Ivan a shotgun."

"I remember Grandpa had a double-barreled shotgun." The receptionist said.

"That was the gun my father gave me. I also took this gun to participate in World War II and fought the Germans, but about six years ago, my health was getting worse and worse. When I was repairing the roof, I stepped on it and fell off. , I broke my leg, and then I put the gun away." The old man said, "But I will take it out every month for maintenance. You can take it with you if you want to go hunting. It is probably missed too. Live outside."

"Great, let's leave now." Snerana urged, and when she returned to the country where she had lived before, the receptionist also looked very excited, and she had long since abandoned the restraint in the city. Immediately you can run out and run wild.
