Chapter 217: Mayak
The radiation level here is already relatively high, it has exceeded 100sv, and the three of them each swallowed an iodine tablet and put on goggles and face shields, in front of them is the towering wall, and they must be prepared for the worst.
"What are the wandering spirits doing in these places, aren't they afraid that their organs will absorb too much radiation and fail?" Wang Ling walked to the wall and found that there were some traces left by climbing on the wall, and there was a small half of the rope leaking out of the wall above, obviously someone entered from here from time to time. "Our bodies can withstand far more radiation than the average person, so as for what they're doing here, let's just go and see. Bingning put on her gloves and covered the last part of her exposure.
"Wait a minute!" Li Hao took a few steps to the right and picked up a small card from the ground, which seemed to be an identity card, and the upward front was almost invisible, only a vague photo and a faint researcher could be seen.
Then, Li Hao flipped over the card, his face was a little dull, "How is it Chinese? Soul City Medicine?"
"What?" Wang Ling and Bing Ning were stunned at the same time, was it the pharmaceutical company that appeared in the illusion created for Wang Ling by the Apostle of Illusion?
Wang Ling took the card, that's right, it's those words, and even the font is exactly the same. It seems that the mysterious company of Soul City Pharmaceutical has indeed been here, what are they doing here? As for this company, Wang Ling has asked many people, but almost none of them know anything about this pharmaceutical company.
He conducted human experiments in Wang Ling's hometown, created a disappeared test subject, and now they are in Karachay Lake, where the nuclear leakage is most serious, where else have they been?
Wang Ling couldn't help but shudder, these four words seemed to him to be more and more terrifying, it was like an abyss, completely bottomless, the closer he got to it, the more he would be deeply sucked in.
"The radiation level of that card is very high, either its material is highly radioactive, or it is constantly exposed to radiation and has not disappeared even if it has been left here for so long. Li Hao frowned and looked at the display of the Geiger counter.
"I think this thing might help us get into certain places in the future. Wang Ling looked at it carefully for a while, and then put the card in his pocket.
When I stood by the wall, I realized that this wall was really high, as high as a three-story building, and it was definitely not easy to climb it.
"I'll do it. Li Hao motioned for the two to stand behind him, he grabbed his feet with both hands, his eyes flashed with light blue, and suddenly the ground around him began to tremble slightly.
Soon, small pebbles and gravel began to roll over, and when they converged under his palm, they began to gather and condense, and the sand gathered faster and faster, and soon became similar to a sand sculpture.
Li Hao's right hand was slowly raised, and his index and middle fingers made a walking motion similar to that of a villain. Then the sand condensed into a staircase-like object that spread up the walls, and it was Pharaoh No. 51 of the Soul Oracle List.
"Let's go. Li Hao stepped up the steps and walked directly to the top of the wall, Wang Ling followed behind him, stepping on the steps that were a bit like quicksand, feeling a little unsteady.
The top of the wall is not too wide, about 30 centimeters, and there is a wall about 2 meters apart, a total of three floors. Outside the wall is a road, with tall bushes growing on both sides of the road, and there are still no fallen leaves in this weather, and the rut marks on the road are still very deep.
Li Hao jumped lightly and jumped to the opposite wall, but this was a bit difficult for Wang Ling, this was a full dozen meters high, and he would have to break his leg if he fell.
Li Hao stretched out his hand helplessly, the sand randomly formed a bridge between the two layers of walls, Wang Ling hurriedly walked over, the rope they saw above crossed the three walls, and both ends could be thrown down, this should be the path when the people of Soul City Medicine passed, but the rope was a little old to the touch, and no one had walked it for some days.
After stepping over the pavement, the three of them climbed the opposite wall in the same way, and I have to say that this wall has a full Resident Evil feeling. Standing on the last layer of the separation wall and looking to the east, there is a barren Gobi, a large area, covered with no vegetation, and the pieces of gravel are full of traces left by passing cars.
Many of the vehicles have been abandoned here, and over the years, they have become so dilapidated that they can no longer be used, but their mission has been accomplished.
Just below the barren surface of the ground are patches of hollow cement slabs, which cover the former Karachay Lake so tightly that it is no longer visible to the former lake.
"There's no one here. Wang Ling looked around, but didn't see anyone.
If this is Leng Rui, it may be more convincing. Bingning threw the rope off the wall, and then jumped down directly, grabbed the rope when he was about to land and slowed down his fall, and stepped on the ground very lightly.
"Miss Bingning, there are signs of movement in Mayak, and there are quite a few of them, I just found that there is still electricity here. ”
"Is there electricity? Is the nuclear facility still running?"
"I'm not sure, Mayak is mainly used to make nuclear weapons, I don't know if there is a generator set, I'll go in and investigate. The radiation level here is very high, so be careful not to let your clothes get torn if you come here. ”
"Okay, you should be careful, too. ”
Walking towards the lake from here, my clothes seemed to be hot, and the skin on my face and hands felt tingling. But the radiation level is not enough to provoke the warning of the suit, according to the two guys, when the radiation level reaches a certain level, the sensor in the inner layer of the suit will activate, directly sending a warning signal to their virtual mirror, and at that time, they must leave immediately, otherwise they will definitely die if they continue to stay there with their blood.
The length of Karachay Lake is about six kilometers and the width is about four kilometers. It's not big here, but it's definitely not small.
With Bingning's eyesight, she could see the boundary of the lake completely, and if someone was moving there, she could definitely see it. But if Barbara deliberately avoided them, lying in the depressions and ravines of the yellow sand, unless they looked for traces little by little, it would definitely be a big project to find Barbara.
"Maybe we should go to the nest of the wandering soul first?" Wang Ling said, pulling out a grass from the ground, the grass can no longer see its original species, its roots are deeply rooted in the ground, its radiation value is even comparable to some radioactive minerals, and the solid rhizome comparable to cowhide has absorbed a large amount of radioactive material for it.
It is impossible to imagine how this kind of radiation zone, which clearly leads to the withering of life, is similar to how this plant survives.
"It's time to go and see, if Barbara really came here, maybe she would have fallen into the hands of the geist, and... I didn't intend to let the bastards here go. Bingning's smile flashed with some coldness, after all, it was just yesterday that he was left on the Volga River by being blown up.
The three of them changed direction and walked in the direction of the Mayak nuclear facility, and after walking two kilometers along the lake, there was a red house standing there, and several roads intersected in front of the house, which was a former lakeside villa?
All the glass of the house had been shattered, the once bright red tiles had been covered with thick dust, the walls were cracked, and the door of the house had been wide open, and there was nothing inside.
The road in front of the house leads directly into the depths of the forest, a road that has been almost swallowed up by trees, and that was when Lake Karachay was still a "lake", from where the vehicles carrying fuel rods drove directly into Mayak. However, the widest road now is already across Karachay.
After walking for about a kilometre, they saw another layer of the wall, but it was largely destroyed, and one section of the wall was leveled by bulldozers.
As you get here, there are two forks in the road, one leading directly into Mayak and the other leading directly to the center of Karachay Lake.
There are two huge warehouses on the road behind, and along the road, there are dozens or hundreds of trucks parked there, all of which were construction vehicles used to bury Karachay.
In a clearing of the lot, you can see a large pile of metal boxes, which are the molds used to make hollow cement slabs. However, at this time, it is clear that the road has only recently left traces, both ruts and footprints.
Bingning tapped on Mike, drawing the attention of the two of them to the path where they were now on a mission rather than sightseeing. From this entrance, you cross the wall and you officially enter the most mysterious place in Ozersk, Mayak.
"The radiation level here has reached 400 sv, and if you stay here for two hours, you will be able to withstand more radiation than one person can withstand in a year. ”
It's been untended for too long, and the radiation-contaminated forests have crossed the walls and entered the walls, where dirt and shrubs have covered the concrete that once were, and even a few houses have been buried by trees. There are still some vehicles here, many of them even with their doors open, and their owners are in a hurry to leave.
"Kenji Sakata, where are you?"
"To the northeast of the entrance, there's a chimney nearby, and I'm in the building next to it, and you can come through that closed air passage. ”
"Airway?"
"I know that there are cement factories with rotary kilns, to be exact, it's just up ahead. After turning a corner, Wang Ling pointed ahead, between the two buildings two hundred meters away, there was a closed overpass-like thing across the road, if you want to go up, you have to enter the building on the left and then climb to the top floor.
