Chapter 512: Next Step
It was already 12:20 p.m. when the players got together again.
It has been almost 11 hours since the explosion, and Zhang Heng has already interrogated all the people in the nuclear power plant related to this accident, and he can understand why the historical Pripyat has been delayed until more than 30 hours before organizing the evacuation, but the main quest that players are most concerned about still has no movement.
Not only Coconut, but the other players couldn't help but start muttering at this time.
"Dyatlov, Akimov, Toptunov, Bryukhanov, and Fomin, we've all seen them all, but none of them can trigger the prompt to complete the main quest, so does this explosion really have nothing to do with them?" The mouse wrenched his fingers.
"Fomin and Bryukhanov definitely have a problem." Zhang Heng said, "They started this safety experiment without getting approval, this is what Bryukhanov said personally, and it is difficult for others to say, but the two leaders of them will definitely not be able to escape." ”
He had just finished changing his clothes and threw the overalls he had worn to the nuclear power plant into the dustbin beside him.
The doctor also spoke, "The main task this time is to find the key person, but in fact, it is not said that there are several key people, we have fallen into a misunderstanding before, and we feel that we need to find the person with the greatest responsibility, but is it possible, in fact, we need to find all the parties involved in this accident in order to complete the task?" ”
"If that's the case, it's going to be a big trouble," Kui Ye frowned, "We don't even have an exact number of people, how do we know if there will be anyone left behind, and we don't know how many we have found and how many are still missing." ”
"Who's on the list next?" The maintenance worker also asked.
"Well, the designer of the nuclear power plant, or more precisely the designer of the graphite-moderated boiling water reactor, but the problem is that we don't know who he is, and it looks like he's not in Pripyat either." Rat Road.
He was also a little panicked now, everyone had expressed their opinions and worked together to improve the list of suspects, but in fact, most people's attention was focused on the top few on the list, and they never thought that things would develop to this point.
As the previous names are eliminated one by one, the remaining ones are all people who are unlikely, but very troublesome to find.
If it's put in normal times, forget it, it's a big deal for everyone to investigate a little bit, but what players lack most in this round of dungeons is time.
Although the condition of everyone except the coconut is okay now, according to the doctor, this is probably only a temporary illusion, they were next to the reactor when it exploded, and they should have absorbed a lot of radiation, which damaged their DNA, causing the cells to no longer be able to continue to renew normally, once these cells have now completed their life cycle, then the next thing that awaits them will be death.
And, in the words of the doctors, it was probably the most painful and cruel of all known ways of dying.
"What to do, are we going to Moscow next?" "But where do you find out when you get to Moscow?" ”
"I asked Bryukhanov that the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was designed by the Institute of Hydropower Engineering, and among the first experts after the explosion was someone from the Institute of Hydropower Engineering, and the deputy director in charge of the safety of the nuclear power plant came. Koonwitz. Zhang Heng said, "He should know who designed the RBMK." ”
"Great." Rat Road.
The players were also relieved when they heard this, it's not that they don't want to go to Moscow, in fact, considering the current radiation situation in Pripyat, no one still wants to stay here, but according to the previous game experience, the main quest rarely needs to be completed across cities, and it is easy to leave Pripyat, and it may not be so simple to come back when the time comes.
In another twenty hours, when Moscow realizes what is happening in Chernobyl, it will be completely taken over by the military, all the people will be forcibly evacuated, and it will become an empty city.
In fact, in the morning, empty buses were already being seen entering Pripyat, and the roads near the nuclear power plant were guarded by militia, in addition to the militia squads from other places gathering at the Yanov railway station.
This may sound unbelievable.
Because after the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, it was not the specialists headed by Bryukhanov and Fomin who first realized the danger, but the militia of Pripyat, who first took over the scene from the fire brigade, and then began to block the road to the nuclear power plant, especially those popular fishing meccas.
There was even a temporary emergency command formation, which was quickly mobilized under the leadership of Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Gennady Vasilyevich Berdov, which is why the decision to evacuate was later carried out so quickly.
Berdorf arrived at the scene of the explosion at about 5 a.m., and by 7 a.m. 1,000 people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already arrived at the site of the accident, after which Berdorf contacted the transport department in Kyiv and asked them to provide 1,100 vehicles for possible evacuation.
However, it is a pity that although Mr. Deputy Minister smelled the smell of danger, but until this time he still did not know how dangerous the invisible opponent he was facing this time, so the 1,000 militia of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were present at the scene, like those firefighters, did not carry out any protective measures and were exposed to radiation for a long time, but because they guarded the dangerous area, they did greatly reduce the risk of others entering the nuclear power plant, of course, This also caused some problems for players to find Bryukhanov and Fomin in the future.
However, because of the news that the reactor was safe and sound from Fomin and Bryukhanov, the DW office in Pripyat finally did not issue an evacuation order, and even refuted the rumors, the first secretary. Garmanyuk is still waiting for a decision from above.
However, things in the hospital could not be hidden, and in the morning, people were still more optimistic, going out to work and school as usual, but by noon, as more and more people felt unwell and coughed incessantly, all kinds of rumors and gossip began to spread.
When Zhang Heng and the four of them came out of the nuclear power plant, on the way back to Pripyat, they could see that the expressions of the passers-by had obviously become serious and worried, and there were even some people who left Pripyat by car or train without waiting for the official notice.
