Chapter Seventy-Nine: Into the Radiation Zone

"That's it, let's go." Gongsun Qi carried the box and said to Chu Xiang.

After getting the protective clothing, Chu Xiang and Gongsun Qi carried two of them and rushed to the destination.

The city on the other side of the mountain has become in ruins, and the once high-rise buildings of Daxia have long since collapsed in the dust of history, leaving only a messy and barren ruin, birds and beasts are extinct, and there is no grass.

After the explosion, the residual radiation value was very high, and all the vegetation at the foot of the mountain died, forming a very clear dividing line between the inside and outside of the mountain.

Chu Xiang couldn't help but be a little worried, and asked, "Can it protect against radiation?" ”

"Rest assured, this is an all-round protective suit." Gongsun Qidao.

"Tingting, how far is it?" Chu Xiang asked.

"Near the Sixth Ring Road, there are still sixteen kilometers in a straight line." Song Xiaoting looked at the positioning and said.

"You put on your hazmat suit." Chu Xiang said to Song Xiaoting.

"No, it's too far away, and it's not easy to move in protective clothing." Song Xiaoting shook her head and said.

"If you mutate into an ugly monster, I don't want you." Chu Xiang glared.

Song Xiaoting had to reluctantly change into protective clothing, and Gongsun Qi also asked Li Ruqian to change into protective clothing, and the changed clothes were put back in the box and hidden on the side of the road.

"Lao Chu, how much radiation can you withstand?" Gongsun Qi asked.

"About eight hundred roentgeniums." Chu Xiangdao, put on a mask.

"That should be fine." Gongsun Qi nodded, and also put on a mask to prevent floating objects with radiation from entering the esophagus from the mouth and nose.

"Let's go." Chu Xiangdao, carrying a backpack and protective clothing, picked up Song Xiaoting at the waist and strode down the mountain.

Unexpectedly, Chu Xiang was planning to do this, Song Xiaoting snorted, and said bad to Chu Xiang's ear, but her heart was sweet. Gongsun Qi carried a protective suit, carried Li Ruqian on his back, and followed Chu Xiang.

The two let go of their footsteps, as fast as galloping horses, and only the wind whistled in their ears, and in a moment they had already descended to the foot of the mountain. In front of it is the city that has become a ruin, as far as the eye can see, there are collapsed buildings everywhere, the former glory and prosperity no longer exists, even flies and mosquitoes dare not approach this ruin, and the strong radiation in the air is prohibitive.

Entering the area of strong radiation, in order to buy time so as not to bear too much radiation, the two of them were faster, their feet rose and fell, jumped between the broken walls, and went straight to their destination. Song Xiaoting was hugged by Chu Xiang, only to feel the wind around her, and the scenery on both sides quickly retreated, moving up and down, but there was no trace of vibration, which was very comfortable.

After a while, Chu Xiang was surprised to find that in this strong radiation area, not the species is extinct, there are many small animals living in it, there are ants, mice, locusts, mosquitoes and other small animals, most of these small creatures living in the radiation area have not recovered, if it is not their unique physical signs, they are almost unrecognizable.

About half an hour later, Chu Xiang looked at the location and had arrived at his destination. It was a dead green space next to the viaduct, and there were no buildings around it, only a collapsed two-story building, which was ordinary in appearance, not like anything special, and was surrounded by a layer of iron fences.

Putting down Song Xiaoting, Song Xiaoting confirmed that the positioning was correct, and said to Chu Xiang: "This is it." ”

Staying in the radiation area for less than one minute will cause less damage to the body, and time cannot be delayed, let Song Xiaoting and Li Ruqian stand far away, Chu Xiang and Gongsun Qi will divide five by two, and clean up the collapsed small building like a decay, revealing the entrance to the underground garage.

The two searched, and the underground garage was clearly the most likely place to enter the institute. The four of them entered the garage, it was dark inside, Chu Xiang had already been able to see things clearly in the low-light environment, and seeing Gongsun Qi's appearance of accurately sweeping away obstacles, he obviously also had low-light vision.

The garage is very large, and there is more than one floor, there is a door at the end of the second floor, the door is very large, big enough for a truck to drive in, the door is closed, the indicator light on the display panel next to the door has long been extinguished, Gongsun Qi pry open the display panel and tinkered with it for a long time and couldn't open the door, Chu Xiang pressed the steel door and sensed it, but didn't find anything abnormal inside, or maybe the door was too thick to sense the situation inside at all.

"The backup power supply is not responding, and it looks like the system has been damaged." Gongsun Qidao.

Hearing the movement inside, Song Xiaoting and Li Ruqian both entered the garage.

"How?" Song Xiaoting asked.

"It's not good." Gongsun Qidao.

"You go away, I'll try." Chu Xiangdao, pressing his palm on the steel door, spit out his internal strength, and there was a fierce tremor sound, and the entire wall trembled, but there was no sign of damage.

I didn't believe that this door really couldn't be opened, Chu Xiang drew his knife, gathered his breath, and slashed down, a piercing metal tearing sound sounded, and the blade became red due to fierce friction, emitting a pungent smell of burning, and a one-foot-deep knife mark appeared on the steel door. Chu Xiang put his ear on the door, tapped it a few times with the handle of the knife, and shook his head helplessly.

"Generally speaking, the first few meters of the door and the inner passage are special steel structures, and the depth of the passage should be much thinner, so we first dig along the steel structure from the side, and then cut the rigid wall of the passage from the side." Gongsun Qi said to Chu Xiang and smashed the wall open with a steel shovel.

"Okay." Chu Xiang nodded, cut the hole that Gongsun Qi smashed out with a few knives, and dug into it along the passage.

The two of them worked together, one digging inside, and the other cleaning outside, and soon, in ten minutes, a long road that could accommodate one person to walk was dug out. Patted the steel plate at the end of the road, the vibration was already obvious, and Chu Xiang cut out a two-person wide entrance after a few knives.

Gongsun used the instrument brought by Song Xiaoting to test the air in the passage, and there was nothing abnormal.

Striving for insurance, Chu Xiang put on protective clothing and said, "I'll go first to find out the situation, you wait a minute." ”

"Be careful." Song Xiaoting advised.

The aisle was wide enough for an SUV to drive in, and there were a lot of tire marks on the ground, which apparently they did. Carefully walked along the passage to the end, there was another steel door, Chu Xiang slashed, found that the steel door was not thick, and struggled to cut the steel door open. Shine it inside with a flashlight, inside is a big hall, a long corridor on the left and right, there are many doors on the walls around the hall, and after a glance, Chu Xiang quickly exited the passage.

Gongsun Qi put on a protective suit and went in to test the air inside, and there was nothing abnormal.

"Lao Chu, in case of accidents, someone needs to answer outside, just go in with Xiaoqian and Xiaoting." Gongsun returned to the garage and said to Chu Xiang.

Chu Xiang was a little hesitant, the situation inside was unpredictable, let Song Xiaoting go in and take the risk to watch outside, it was really reassuring, but there could be no one outside, although Li Ruqian's strength was good, her experience was insufficient, if people were blocked inside, it would be over, Gongsun Qi was a high-achieving student like Song Xiaoting, and it was obviously more suitable than himself to go inside, this is the best arrangement.

"Don't worry, I guarantee that my sister-in-law will not lose a single hair." Gongsun Qidao.

Gongsun Qi's strength is not inferior to him, and he is a knowledgeable professional, so there is no reason not to worry.

Chu Xiang had no choice but to nod and said, "I'll skin you if there's one less hair." ”

Gongsun Qi smiled and said, "Okay." ”

Chu Xiang checked Song Xiaoting's protective suit, and repeatedly told him to be cautious before letting the three of them in.

Waiting is always apprehensive, looking at the black hole, Chu Xiang is up and down in a heart. After the three of them entered, they didn't hear any movement, if there was movement, they could still know what was going on, and if there was no movement, it was the most worrying, you must know that there were two zombies inside, and there might be some other messy things, I watched too many zombie movies, and when I thought of the secret laboratory, Chu Xiang felt that there might be a monster made in secret.

Just when Chu Xiang was anxiously waiting, a muffled sound suddenly came from inside, and the sound of bursting energy was clear in his ears, and at the same time, Gongsun Qi's voice came out: "Retreat." ”

Chu Xiang was in a hurry, and rushed into the passage, just in time to see Song Xiaoting and Li Ruqian staggering back, and after Gongsun Qi broke down, the hands of the protective suit were already shattered.

"What's that?" Chu Xiang asked in a deep voice.

"Zombies." Gongsun Qidao.

Chu Xiang drew his knife out of its sheath, concentrating on vigilance, and waited for the three of them to go out before slowly exiting the passage.

The zombie didn't come out, and returned to the garage Gongsun Qi quickly took off his protective clothing, and said to Chu Xiang at the same time: "I have already taken a specimen, this guy's strength is average, if it weren't for wearing this thing to get in the way, I would slap it to death." ”

"Do you want to continue?" Chu Xiangdao, this sentence was said to Song Xiaoting.

"Go on." Song Xiaoting said without hesitation, which made Chu Xiang feel a little strange.

"Let me come." Gongsun Qi said hatefully, pulled out a steel shovel, and told Chu Xiangdao: "You are optimistic about the two of them, maybe I will call you." ”

Knowing that Gongsun Qi was a person who would repay him, Chu Xiang naturally wanted to give him an outlet for his evil anger.

After taking the specimen bottle, Gongsun Qi entered the research room again, and it didn't take long for there to be a rumbling sound inside, and after a while, Gongsun Qi came out satisfied.

Looking at Gongsun Qi's expression, it was obvious that he was able to catch it, Chu Xiang smiled and said, "It's done?" ”

"Of course, two low-level little zombies, what's so difficult about taking some samples." Gongsun Qidao.

"Let's get out of here, it's not a good thing to be exposed to radiation for a long time." Song Xiaoting said.

"Fill in the passage first, it won't be good to be run out of those things." Gongsun Qidao.

Chu Xiang and Gongsun Qi filled back the dug tunnel in twos, afraid that the two zombies would run out, Chu Xiang deliberately used internal strength to tamp the soil layer, and Gongsun Qi knocked down the house above again, covering the underground garage. Quickly get everything done, just like when they came, Chu Xiang and Gongsun Qi hugged one by one and left quickly, and on the way, Gongsun Qi and Song Xiaoting also caught some samples of animals mutated by radiation, such as mice, ants, and flies.

Leaving the abandoned city, returning to the mountain where they came, they retrieved two boxes containing protective suits, and the two continued to run, and after getting away from the radiation area, they found a river, and all four of them jumped into the river. After letting the river wash for a long time, Song Xiaoting and Li Ruqian took off their protective clothing, there was no way, there was no effective way to remove the radioactive materials stuck to their bodies, so they could only wash with water.

Song Xiaoting and Li Ruqian put the protective clothing of the four back into the box, afraid that it would not be cleaned enough, so they took the box and backpack and went to Chu Xiang and Gongsun Qi upstream to rinse it, and then waited for the two of them far away from the water.

Gongsun Qi and Chu Xiang washed in the river for more than an hour, feeling that there was very little radioactive material on their bodies before they came up from the river.

After some washing, the four of them were all wet, and Song Xiaoting and Li Ruqian's long hair kept dripping, looking embarrassed. It was getting dark, the wind on the mountain was getting cooler and colder, and each felt sorry for their own women, Chu Xiang picked up his backpack, and Gongsun Qi each carried two boxes, and the four of them set off on their way.

Back at the secret research institute in the small courtyard, Gongsun Qi gave the protective clothing to Lao Li, and Gongsun Qi bluntly said that one of the protective clothing was broken at the palm, and Lao Li complained, and Gongsun Qi had to laugh embarrassedly. instructed Lao Li to have radiation residue on his clothes, and after seeing Lao Li enter, the four of them rushed to the nearest hotel, the Action Station Hotel, where they came to eat.

Traveling all the way, when they returned to the hotel, the four of them were all dry, and they went to the mall together to buy clothes, opened two rooms, washed their whole bodies, and changed into clean clothes. Chu Xiang was still thinking about having a mandarin duck bath with Song Xiaoting, who knew that Song Xiaoting would directly drive him out, close the door and clean up, and then open the door to let Chu Xiang in.

After the two took a bath, Song Xiaoting took out the contents of the backpack and cleaned them carefully, changed them into a brand new back packaging, packed all the clothes they changed into plastic bags, called the waiter, and ordered them to be disposed of.

Radiation is everywhere, but the radiation caused by a trace amount of airborne floating debris and the high-intensity radiation at the site of a nuclear explosion are not the same concept at all, the former will only cause some local mutations, but the latter can be directly lethal, causing strong mutations throughout the body, and even the body will carry radioactive materials for a long time.

After cleaning up, Chu Xiang took Song Xiaoting's hand to the restaurant to eat.

"Don't you wait for them?" Song Xiaoting said.

"Naturally, they'll come down on their own." Chu Xiang said with a smile, glancing at Gongsun Qi's door with envy and hatred.

The sound insulation of the hotel room is very good, Song Xiaoting can't hear the sound next door, but it can't isolate Chu Xiang's hearing, not long after Gongsun Qi and the two entered the room, there was an indescribable sound, which was still going on at this time, I don't know when it will stop, it is estimated that the mandarin duck bath does not know how many times it has been washed.

When the two of them went down to the restaurant, Song Xiaoting's beauty without powder attracted the attention of countless people, seeing that those people's impatient eyes kept staring at Song Xiaoting's lust, Chu Xiang couldn't help but be angry, thinking that it would be good if these people came over to do it, and Lao Tzu just killed them all.

Finding Chu Xiang's expression changing, Song Xiaoting laughed out loud, nodded Chu Xiang's forehead and said, "Let them see that there will be no less meat." ”

Chu Xiang snorted, very dissatisfied. Knowing that Chu Xiang cared about himself very much, she was very happy in her heart, Song Xiaoting changed her seat and sat side by side with Chu Xiang with her back to her eyes.
