Plague Doctor

The day before the incident, on 13 March, the Ministry of Environmental Protection routinely monitored radiation levels in various cities throughout the country, in nGyh.

The measurement range of Dongzhou City is 82.4-83.6, the average value is 83.2, the reference background range of the local field is 73.1-125.7, normal level; Dahua City, normal level; Guangting City, normal level… Desert North City, 101.8-110.5, 106.7, 73.7-118.6, normal level.

The Cedar Squad measured a radiation dose of 6.5 Gyh in the forest variation area.

1Gy = 1000mGy = 1000000uGy = 1000000000nGy.

In other words, a person stays in that 300 square metre mutated area for an hour and is completely exposed to nuclear radiation, which is about 2.53 million times the sum of the natural radiation he received yesterday in the city of Abyssal City in 1070. If the dose exceeds 0.25 Gy, there will be no more safety values, and 6.5 Gy is already lethal.

When the Xuesha Squad detected this value, Captain Li Yiquan ordered the evacuation of all personnel immediately.

However, the sixteen mobile contingent personnel have been in the area of mutation for almost an hour, and their medical protective clothing will play a role, yet their current dose of nuclear radiation damage is by no means normal.

The atmosphere at the command center of APT sank to the bottom of the valley, communicated with headquarters and immediately issued a new command.

Whether or not nuclear radiation has been contaminated outside, the entire village of Beidian village should be evacuated, and the town of Yunlin should be evacuated and safely transferred.

As for a larger evacuation, the whole city? The whole desert? Depends on the radiation level.

But the situation that followed relieved the Command's crowd a little, because measurements outside the mutated area showed that, very strangely, even if only half a step out of the mutated area, no nuclear contamination had been detected, all at normal radiation levels.

Naturally, this is not normal.

“This is impossible...” NASA has taken care of the incident in conjunction with the Energy Agency, and none of the top nuclear engineers can understand, “Radioactive material will disperse with the wind, it is impossible that this is a 6.5 Gyh contaminated area next to 106nGyh...”

Even if nuclear engineers are not needed, they know that Grandpa Tong, Shinian Yao and other headquarters commanders can understand this.

But that's extraordinary power, that's supernatural.

For the time being, this is a good thing, with no harm done to the surrounding population and time for relocation.

For the time being, as long as the blockade is in place, things will not expand.

“The question is, will this mutated region expand?” Grandpa Tong has identified a key issue. "Will the dose of nuclear radiation rise? Will it come out? ”

In these two hours, these assumptions did not occur, but the fewer trees in the mutation area, the more they disappeared, the more they disappeared.

Shinning, Peacock and Ink Qing arrived at the scene, wearing nuclear radiation protective clothing, looked around the area, convinced that the situation inside was deteriorating.

They tried to hit old spirits, useless, with no feedback. But it doesn't feel right, it doesn't feel right, it doesn't look like typical dark erosion, can't describe...

The Cedar Squad has withdrawn the fire line, took iodine tablets in the first place and went to the Medical Department for examination. They haven't had any symptoms yet, which is a good thing, not bad enough for an acute onset. But it's also possible that a few days later, a week later, even a year later, suddenly one day, they start to suffer.

So in this case, this elite team in the North of the Desert is no longer fit to go to the front line, and they absorbed more than the dose.

Previously, the group did not see any visible dispersible material in the mutated area, nor did the air glow, making them less alert.

“Standing in the area…” Li Weiquan said when reporting to headquarters, "It doesn't feel very real, it seems a little floating, it seems that gravity is different, because of space distortion. And I felt like I was standing on the edge of a cliff, a little, pulling, as if I was going to disappear like those trees at any moment. ”

The images they shot in there seem to prove it.

All images, whether trees, soil, or humans, are constantly being pulled around by a force. The image also captures some strange light shadows, lines. Scientists are also studying whether there's something wrong with the camera, or if there's something that's really not visible to the human eye.

On the other hand, the Institute of Energy Research at Chi Forest Station in the desert is also intensifying its analysis of the radioactive materials in the contaminated soil in the mutated area, on the clothes of Tian Fu Hou and others, whether this radiation originates from a nuclear reactor, a nuclear explosion, or something, which has the opportunity to be analyzed.

Originally, the best subjects were trees that disappeared.

It's just that Cedar Squad had made all sorts of attempts at the time and still couldn't get half a dead leaf or half a piece of bark. Once the object comes into contact with the trees, it passes through and is burned by the energy inside, as if the trees had actually disappeared, but there was still a shadow there.

And that shadow contains higher and higher doses of nuclear radiation.

Does the Headquarters Command Centre have a scenario for this, like the Banyan tree in the ancient village of Banyan? Connected to another space?

But unlike the great banyan trees that connect to the alien world, they connect to a nuclear furnace?

However, this still does not explain why the radiation did not run outside the mutated area.

“Old Tong, do you feel like some kind of evil folk did this time? ”

The Headquarters Command Centre was busy and the personnel of the various departments fought on their posts, while the large screen contained multiple cameras mounted around the mutated area to monitor the situation; there were also evacuations on the side of the village of North Din, where the villagers were safely leaving on the bus.

Yao Shinian frowned and looked at the big screen and asked the old partner next to him.

“Hard to say...” Uncle Tong is really hard to judge, this matter is very different from the past so far, and is not very much like the style of evil organization.

If they wanted to create fear, would they have chosen such a remote place as Kitaden Village in Municipality of Aphid? But isn't this some sort of ritual opening?

“I'm afraid this mutation area is going to grow bigger and faster...” Grandpa Tong wants to drink a little, “Sometimes this mutation space is like life, the more energy you eat, the faster it will grow... If Arjun is here, hey, that kid really makes us dependent...”

The commander-in-chief of the incident once again fell on the shoulders of two old men.

Only this time, Gu Jun has been missing for a long time, and is still half crazy.

When it comes to nuclear radiation, there's no small thing. Now that NASA has lost its biggest ace, it is difficult for Grandpa Tong, Shinian Yao and others to say whether NASA and GOA are ready to meet new challenges. But this is often the case, and it doesn't make people ready for everything to happen.

When Grandpa Tong shook his head, he said something.

A loud explosion came out of the speaker, and the surveillance around the mutated area in the big screen turned into a black screen.

People's eyes changed from time to time, and there was an unknown explosion in the mutated area, most likely, expanding.
