On April 30, 1986, almost five days had passed since the reactor exploded.

These days, Zhang Heng and others have been investigating the forces involved in the disaster relief, trying to find key people from them, but unfortunately, although their actions have been very active, and even ran back to the nuclear power plant twice at great risk, the main mission has still not improved.

Not only that, but the physical condition of the players is getting worse and worse, and after losing the doctor, everyone now doesn't know the specific extent of the radiation affecting them, but the changes in the body can still be felt.

The swollen arm that had been suffocated before the boy was now bigger, and the sleeves could not fit in, so he could only make a cut in his clothes, and in addition to this, his tongue and cheeks were ulcerated, and the mucous membranes were peeling off layer by layer, making it difficult for him to speak.

And the condition of the mouse is not very good, one of his legs is now blue-purple, not only swollen, even a little shiny, very smooth to the touch, there are blisters on the inside, it hurts when he moves, in the fourth day he is not very convenient to move, and on the fifth day he can only sit in the car.

Kui Ye's condition is slightly better than the two, she only has a puffy face, some bloodshot eyes, and in addition to this, she has begun to lose hair, not only hair, but also eyebrows and hair.

In contrast, Zhang Heng's condition was the best among the four, he only had some dark brown patches of different shapes on his skin, and he would have constant pain, but basically it did not affect his movements.

In addition, the five people, including Besonova, also felt different degrees of exhaustion, which was mentioned by the doctor when he was still there, and it should be nuclear fatigue.

The five of them had just returned from the cement mixing plant, and to be honest, they didn't have much hope when they went, and although the work there was important, it was obviously not critical, and the reason why they went to investigate there was only because there was nowhere else to go.

So far in the operation, even the most determined Kui Ye couldn't help but waver a little, and began to wonder if the decision to stay in Pripyat was wrong, although there are still many names on the list that have not been investigated, but it is a relatively late rescue work in time, and the big guy knows that the real value is actually the chairman of the committee, Shcherbina, who is the first on the list.

Previously, the four of them decided to push back the investigation of Shcherbina because they were worried that it would cause too much movement, and Zhang Heng also managed to get the estimated stay time of Shcherbina in Pripyat from the DW office, and the latter was ready to wait until the reactor fire was completely extinguished and the situation was further controlled before returning to Moscow, and it would be May at the earliest, so the player was not in a hurry.

But as time went on, everyone began to mention less and less about investigating Sherbina, not because they were worried about causing any movement, but simply because Shebina was the player's last hope, and everyone didn't know what else they could do if they couldn't get the clues of the main quest on Sherbina.

On the way back, the atmosphere in the car also became very silent.

Zhang Heng drove through one empty building after another in a military vehicle, and occasionally saw some militia squads that hunted animals, and their figures with guns flashed outside the car window.

Zhang Heng parked the car outside the door of the gymnasium.

He looked up at the sky, the sun was about to set, and it was almost time for them to have dinner, but when Zhang Heng opened the door of the gymnasium and walked into the room where they had stored food and water before, he found that it was a mess inside.

The glass bottles were broken, the biscuits and sausages were eaten, and only the bags and scraps were still on the ground, and the only ones that were intact were probably the bottles of canned fish.

"What, did any militia find out about this place?" Kui Ye asked.

"No, it's another guest."

Zhang Heng bent down, picked up a box of cans at his feet, and saw the row of tooth marks on the iron box.

"Stray dogs?" The boy said in a slurred accent.

Although on the day of the evacuation, the militia began to clean up the pets left in the city, but there are still a lot of fish that have slipped through the net, and in the past two days, players have also encountered a few stray cats and stray dogs, and under normal circumstances, they will use stones or something to drive them away, after all, these animals also have a lot of radioactivity on their bodies.

And those cats and dogs will immediately run away when they perceive the danger and throw the stone on them. But there are occasional exceptions, especially the more hungry these cats and dogs become, and some hungry dogs begin to hunt and kill the stray cats in the city and swallow them into their stomachs to satisfy their hunger.

But soon the dogs will become insane due to the increased internal irradiation, and then they will start attacking the humans in the city, and the militia team in charge of hunting will be bitten by mad dogs.

Players have also encountered it because they have been active in the city, but fortunately, there is no danger.

In terms of combat effectiveness, these mad dogs are not particularly powerful, but since they have run into the gymnasium, they can't be left alone, otherwise if these dogs sneak in again when they sleep at night, who is bitten, there is no tetanus to fight here.

Therefore, seeing this, Zhang Heng took off the [Plague Bone Bow] behind his back, took out another arrow from the quiver, and chased it out along the paw prints on the ground.

This level of pursuit was not very difficult for Zhang Heng, and the perpetrator obviously didn't think about how to disguise it, so he swaggered out after a feast, and there were traces left by it almost everywhere along the way.

Zhang Heng didn't have much trouble to find the latter's lair, outside the locker room of the badminton hall on the top floor, there was a sheepdog, its physical condition did not look very good, like humans, radiation also caused some effects on it, it lost a lot of hair on its body, piece by piece, like alopecia areata, but worse is the wound on its buttocks.

It seems to have fought with the squads responsible for hunting animals, but miraculously survived after being shot, and the blood stains on its chest hair indicate that it had swallowed some small animals in order to satisfy its hunger, but it is unknown whether it was a stray cat or a mouse or a dead bird in the vicinity.
