Chapter 553: Vortex
Zhang Heng parked the helicopter by the river in Pripyat, next to the water outlet of the nuclear power plant.
The cooling water flows through the turbine preheat exchanger, where it takes away some of the heat and is then discharged into the Pripyat River.
Due to the relatively warm water and the abundance of microorganisms, it also attracts a lot of fish, and the few anglers that players have seen after escaping from the nuclear power plant are fishing here.
Of course, because they were slow to react, they didn't leave in time, which led to a lot of radiation inhalation, and now they are not in a very good situation in the hospital, if they were given another chance, they probably wouldn't choose to stand here and continue to watch this costly excitement.
Zhang Heng used the portable radiation meter he carried with him to simply measure the radiation value in the water, about 3.4 to 3.5 roentgenium, this dose is already very high, almost close to the limit of the portable measuring instrument, fortunately, players do not need to consider the sequelae caused by radiation.
Especially after the main quest was updated, Zhang Heng had already made up his mind to kill Loki in twelve hours, so what he had to do was to keep his body at peak in these twelve hours, and after experiencing the parallel dungeon, he also had an accurate grasp of his radiation situation, knowing that he could go into the water.
So he didn't hesitate and began to take off his clothes.
This is where the incarnation of Loki Salmon is located in the mural, and in Norse mythology, Loki incarnates as a salmon after he instigated the blind god of darkness Hoddle to kill Badr with mistletoe.
But his ruse was finally discovered by the gods, and the gods of Asgard dealt with him by a simple method, which was to put a large net upstream, pull it all the way down, and remove all the stones in the river, and finally Loki had nowhere to escape, so he could only jump out on his own and be caught by Thor.
But myths are myths after all, the gods of Asgard have the ability to make that huge fishing net, and at the same time cover the entire lake, but in reality, Zhang Heng has no place to find such a big net, even if he finds it, it can't be used, and there is more than one fish in the Pripyat River.
It's not for nothing that it's considered a fishing mecca by anglers, but it's good that although there are many fish in the Pripyat River, there are no salmon, otherwise it would be too foul.
However, it is not easy to find a salmon in a huge body of water, and it is even more difficult to find a way to catch each other after finding it, there is no need to think about the fishing rod, no matter how you look at the salmon incarnated by Rocky, it is impossible to be stupid enough to bite the bait on the hook, and it is not realistic to use a fishing net, only the electric fish sounds a little more reliable, but not to mention where Zhang Heng found the tools for the electric fish, the water of the Pripyat River in this section of the river is very deep, if the salmon incarnated by Loki is hidden at the bottom of the river, eighty percent of them will not be able to use electricity even if they have tools.
Ordinary players are estimated to have given up in a frenzy by this time, but since Zhang Heng drove the plane over, of course he had already thought about how to find the Loki incarnation hidden in the river.
He took off his clothes and didn't take anything with him, so he jumped straight into the river.
Probably because reactor No. 4 has exploded, there is no cooling water to discharge into the river, the river is not as warm as expected, but it is still abundantly rich in fatty acids, the river water is light brown, but these fatty acids are now also highly effective coagulants, transporting radioactive particles and fission debris farther away.
Zhang Heng put on the [filter lens] and controlled his body to sink continuously, and only then did he stop when he was about five meters away from the bottom of the river.
Returning to the water made him feel extremely relaxed, as if he was lying on the sofa at home.
However, Zhang Heng did not let himself be immersed in this comfortable atmosphere all the time, he did not forget the purpose of his visit, especially now that the Pripyat River is still full of a large number of radioactive particles, and danger is everywhere, so Zhang Heng still decided to finish his work as soon as possible.
The next moment he closed his eyes, stretched out his hands, one left and one right, and slowly but firmly clenched his fists, and with his movement, the speed of the water around him began to become rapid.
At the same time, about ten meters away from Zhang Heng, the swirling water formed two whirlpools.
This is what Zhang Heng used to deal with the incarnation of the Rocky salmon, his pure natural automatic fish trap, the faster and faster the whirlpool stirred the originally calm Pripyat River, and the suction caused by it began to continuously pull the surrounding aquatic creatures, as the whirlpool became larger and larger, the nearby swimming fish were sucked into it, as if they were on a roller coaster, and it was an endless version, and it was dizzy.
Zhang Heng didn't stop, until the diameter of the two whirlpools exceeded seven meters, which was almost his limit, he had begun to feel that the whirlpools were becoming more and more difficult to control, and the surrounding water was also pulling his body crazily, the diameter of the whirlpool was now seven meters, and the area covered by the suction power was even larger, even Zhang Heng didn't dare to remove one of them casually now, otherwise it was estimated that he would be sucked in by the other.
Carefully maintaining the balance of his body, Zhang Heng immediately began to move in the river, and the aquatic animals in the nearby waters were all suffering, whether it was looking for food, or staying well, and even hiding in the cracks of the stones in some horns were ruthlessly swept into the whirlpool, forcing the magic of love to turn in circles.
And Zhang Heng was also observing the movement in the vicinity while moving, and it didn't take long for him to see a big fish with a cyan head but a red body, it sensed the danger when the whirlpool was not yet approaching, and wanted to leave one step ahead, and it did almost succeed.
It's just that the area of water covered by the two whirlpools is too large, and it still can't run out completely despite its best efforts, and its movements become sluggish under the pull of the current, but it is indeed one of the few underwater creatures that can compete with the whirlpools, and it is moving away from the whirlpools little by little.
But it was a pity that the next moment it was targeted by Zhang Heng, as Zhang Heng began to move towards it, it finally couldn't escape the strong suction of the whirlpool, and was mercilessly sucked into it, and Thomas swirled around with the other fish inside, turning faster and faster, but this process did not last too long, and soon, the water around it disappeared.
