Chapter 515: Island of the Dead
The island of Atura, which had been hit by four nuclear bombs, had become a forbidden place where life could hardly survive.
On 4 July, in order to ensure that the US Navy could be inflicted as much damage as possible, the four atomic bombs dropped by the Eurasian coalition forces were all "cobalt bombs" that were "cut off" and extremely polluted by radiation.
After the four bombers that participated in the bombing operation returned to their homes, experts found that the fuselage of each of the planes participating in the war was contaminated with a large amount of dangerous radioactive fallout, so all the planes participating in the war, whether it was the Tu 4 or the ME264 or the escort TA154, were abandoned and scrapped afterwards. Except for a small number of aircraft left for scientific research and testing, most of them were directly pulled to the open sea by ship and thrown into the sea for processing.
The plane that just flew through the radioactive fallout had to be dealt with in this way, and the island of Artura, which had eaten four nuclear bombs head-on, was now a forbidden area for life.
The use of cobalt bombs produced large quantities of highly radioactive cobalt-60, making the island covered with this deadly radioactive fallout. Ordinary people go to the island for a few minutes and are exposed to radiation equivalent to more than 100 X-rays.
No human beings can survive on this island, and those American soldiers who were lucky enough to escape from hiding in the island's fortified bomb shelters died afterwards. In the days after the nuclear explosion, the few survivors trapped on the island suffered from high fever, dizziness, nausea, headache, diarrhea, blood in the stool, nosebleeds, and general malaise. And a lot of hair fell out, the wound was pus, and the gums were swollen and bleeding. Purple spots appear on their bodies, which are signs of bleeding under the skin. Severe infection of internal organs. A few days after the onset of symptoms, he then lost consciousness, became unconscious, and died in excruciating pain.
July is a rainy season in the Pacific Ocean. Shortly after the nuclear explosion. Heavy rain fell on the island, and after the 20th, the rain continued continuously. The continuous rain washed a large amount of deadly radiation that had been sprinkled all over the island into the sea. By early August, radiation levels on the island had dropped by 90 percent, but it was still off-limits to humans.
Early in the morning of August 3. A small speedboat was heading for Artura Island, which was no longer alive, and the boat was driven by a tall and rugged woman, who came to be none other than the "Lin Han family" who had become one, and a super big man helped him.
The strong nuclear radiation on the island will cause fatal damage to humans, and it will also cause damage to the body of the ship spirit, but because the latter does not have real human cells, the damage is only temporary, and it will soon return to normal after staying away from the island. But even so. Lin Han and his group waited until the radiation weakened after many heavy rains before they dared to land on the island.
After the Battle of Artura, the remaining U.S. Navy was defeated and completely abandoned the island, which is now under the control of coalition forces.
There may be an atomic bomb delivered by the U.S. military on the island, which is just the speculation of the Lin Han family, and after the radiation has weakened to a level that can be temporarily tolerated, the Lin Han family went to the island in a combined way to search for the atomic bomb.
Before going to the island. Relying on the perception of the ship's spirit, they have identified three suspected locations where the atomic bomb is stored. Both are underground bomb shelters on the island, one of which collapsed in a nuclear explosion and the other two are intact, and they are the focus of their search.
Drop off the speedboat from 20 kilometers away, and the more you get to Tula Island, the stronger the radiation in the air. Along the way, from time to time you can see masts sticking out of the sea on the water on both sides, all of which are the remains of the sunken US warship sticking out of the sea on 4 July. Occasionally, several salvage boats can be seen operating here, all of which are salvage ships sent by the Japanese military. The main thing is to extract fuel from sunken ships. By the time the Pacific War had been fought, Japan's treasury had also been empty. Run out of steam. The United States has sunk a large number of supply ships and oil tankers in this area of Tula Island, and in order to save money, the Japanese side has sent salvage ships to operate here to salvage and recycle all the materials that can be used, and the easiest thing to salvage is the first priority.
In order to ensure the health of their pilots, the Soviet Union and Germany scrapped the heavy bombers that had been seriously contaminated by radioactivity once and replaced them with Japan, which had weak national strength.
The speedboat docked at the man-made harbor where the First Pacific Ship was anchored on the island of Tula, which had long since been destroyed in the 4 July bombing, and the wreckage of warships half-exposed could be seen everywhere in the harbor. In the sea water in the harbor, the bodies of soaked American GIs could be seen everywhere. Because there is no one to clean it up, and the weather is hot and rotten, the whole island of Artura can be described as stinking.
When Lin Han, who was wearing a radiation protective suit, went to the island, he specially carried an oxygen cylinder on his body, so as not to directly suck these corpses full of corpse smell.
At this time, in addition to himself, Lin Han also fused Hannah, Li Huamei, Katyusha, and Artoria in his body, and only the last born daughter Zhen. Yamato Nadeshiko did not come in. Yamato Nadeshiko is now operating underwater more than a dozen kilometers away, helping the Japanese Navy salvage supplies from the sunken U.S. ship.
After Lin Han landed on the island, he spent an hour installing gunpowder and blowing open the gate of the first air-raid shelter covered by rubble.
After opening the door, the first thing you smell is the strong smell of corpses. The thick shield blocked the nuclear shock wave, but it couldn't stop the deadly radiation on the island, and the people trapped in the cave had already absorbed too much lethal radiation and died, and now they all became stinking and swollen corpses.
Being searched was MacArthur's command center. It was found that there were so many radio stations that it could not have been the location where the atomic bomb was stored. Lin Han quickly gave up, but when he left, he took with him the cipher machine and some important military documents found here.
In the second bomb shelter, Lin Han was lucky to find the three atomic bombs in a dismantled state, and under the guidance of nuclear experts, he used the special equipment he brought to take out the nuclear materials and put them in special containers and transported them back to the mother ship. On the mothership, these materials were sealed by special personnel.
The whole process lasted for nearly a day before it was completed. The amount of radiation that Lin Han suffered on the island was enough to kill an ordinary person ten times. Even though he was a heroic spirit, he was affected by the laws of this world afterwards and became weakened, and after returning, the spirit rested in the warship for a week before recovering.
The Soviet Union, China, Britain and Germany divided up the nuclear materials obtained on the island, and for Britain, the "ally" pulled into the nuclear gate by Germany, Hannah and Lin Han unceremoniously blackmailed the British, and let the British put a lot of blood to share the "gains" on Artura Island to him.
Due to severe nuclear radiation, for 20 years, Artura Island was a forbidden area for life that no one dared to land on, and it was nicknamed the "Island of Death" internationally. 22(To be continued......
