At this time, the center of the nuclear explosion was first a large orange-red fireball with a diameter of about several kilometers, and a larger yellowish cloud ring was instantly formed around the fireball.

Then the fireball slowly turned into gray-black smoke, and gradually rose up a huge mushroom cloud nearly tens of thousands of meters high, and it continued to expand and rise.

This is a nuclear bomb with a yield of almost five million tons!

The powerful energy around the mushroom cloud was enveloped in countless smoke and dust, the air was extremely compressed, and the shockwave that was indescribable in words swept through the entire city in a matter of seconds.

Buildings, cars, human and animal remains, burning tree trunks, etc., were torn to shreds and engulfed in black smoke.

A few minutes later, mushroom clouds obscured the sky, the hurricane from ultra-high pressure lasted for several hours, and the black nuclear radiation soot on the ground covered a radius of hundreds of kilometers around the blast a few hours later.

Xiao Li's leg injury was simply fixed and bandaged, and then the four of them kept hiding in the cellar motionless, and the roar of the hurricane outside made them dare not act rashly.

The cellar was prepared with radiation suits, gas masks, and oxygen, and they were not in a hurry, and they spent the whole day in the cellar for safety.

The next day, they slowly walked out of the cave in full gear, and by this time the sky and the earth outside the cave were gray and black, and the once lively village on the edge of the city was now in ruins, and the mountains with lush vegetation had been destroyed beyond recognition.

They took turns carrying Xiao Li on their backs and walked slowly in the direction of the cave, there was still a kilometer or so from the cellar to the cave, and they were finally about to arrive after more than half an hour.

At this time, they saw a man who was also walking to the cave from not far away, and because he did not have a radiation suit, he was obviously seriously injured by radiation.

Flakes of hair fell out, forming alopecia areata, staggering a few steps and spitting blood, this is a survivor of a village, and his face is not too clear.

"Click, click" a few times, Hua Yan and the others felt as if something was dripping from the sky, Hua Yan looked at the radiation protection suit on his body, it was black and gray rain.

A few drops of black rain fell on the survivor not far away, and he immediately let out a scream as if he had touched a soldering iron, and began to scratch his hand at his face.

In a few clicks, he actually grabbed a few pieces of gray-white flesh from his face, it seems that this black rain is extremely radioactive and corrosive, and Hua Yan and the others are also numb when they see it.

Seeing that this man would not survive, they also hurried to speed up and walk towards the cave.

When I first entered the cave, it was very dark, and after walking seven or eight meters inside, I saw a bonfire, and there were many people near the campfire.

At this time, a few of them came in and attracted the attention of the people in the cave, and a middle-aged man in his early fifties walked towards them.

This person Hua Yan knows, it is a cousin of his own family, named Hua Sihai, who is the village chief of the village where Hua Yan's old house is located, with a strong body, dark skin, and a very generous person.

He used to be a soldier, an old party member, and after being discharged from the army, he had a high prestige in the village, and has been the village chief in recent years.

"Uncle Sihai!"

Seeing Hua Sihai coming, Hua Yan took off the hood and gas mask of the radiation protection suit and shouted.

"Hua Yan?"

Hua Sihai took a few steps forward and looked carefully, looked at the clothes and equipment on their bodies, and asked with some surprise:

"...... you guys?"

"Yes, Uncle Sihai, these are my classmates in one of my dormitories, and these are the radiation suits we bought before."

Hua Yan said as several of them took off the radiation protection equipment on their bodies and put them away carefully.

"You young people are not simple, you can prepare these equipment in advance, come~come~ and sit by the fire."

Hua Sihai saw that it was Hua Yan, and he also cordially beckoned a few of them to come to the bonfire.

Through conversation, Hua Yan knew that there were about 1,000 people in the cave at present, most of whom had come in before the nuclear explosion, and there were also scattered people running from various surrounding villages behind them.

However, the people who entered the cave later were more or less injured by radiation, and now they are not in very good condition, and most of those who are lying down and sitting and moaning are non-stop.

Most of the people in Hua Yan's village are surnamed Hua, all of them are from their own family, and now a small number of people in the cave are from their village, and the other is a village where most of them are surnamed Cai, there are about three or four hundred people in their village, and the remaining few are from other villages.

Hua Yan has lived in the village for ten years, in fact, he knows most of the people in the cave now.

Seeing Hua Yan and the others wearing radiation protection equipment, Hua Sihai's heart also became alive, although they can survive temporarily in this cave, people still have to eat

In addition, if there is a search and rescue condition, maybe many people can be rescued from the surrounding villages.

has been the village chief for many years, so that Hua Sihai naturally has a sense of responsibility, although most people are shocked now, but he has to plan for the life of everyone behind.

"Hua Yan, I'll discuss something with you~"

Hua Sihai leaned closer to Hua Yan and said softly.

"You say, Uncle Sihai, what are you polite to me!" Hua Yan responded in a low voice, but he was a little puzzled in his heart.

"You see if you can lend these protective equipment to everyone, so that you can get some food from the village, and there should be many people still alive in the surrounding villages, so it's best to save them if you have the chance."

Hua Sihai stared at Hua Yan and said in a deep voice.

Hua Yan thought about it and didn't speak for a long time, he felt that he should discuss it with Liu Haitao and them.

"Uncle Sihai, wait a minute, I'll discuss it with a few classmates." After saying hello to Hua Sihai, the four brothers met their heads and muttered together.

In fact, the situation is very delicate now, in this kind of apocalyptic world, more than 1,000 people get together temporarily, and if there is any problem, it is likely to cause a catastrophe, and it is likely to cause cannibalism among each other, because there is basically no legal constraint now.

And the four of them have the protective equipment that everyone wants, which is even more dangerous, in fact, they also have a lot of materials hidden in this cave, such as a generator, and five or six sets of radiation protection suits. But now it is certainly not daring to expose it.

muttered for a while, and finally Liu Haitao stood up and said to Hua Sihai:

"Uncle Sihai, these equipment can be lent out, but can we initially establish a set of order with more than 1,000 people?"

"If there is no order, these things will probably become the bane in the future, Uncle Sihai......"

Hua Sihai thought for a while, frowned, and finally nodded as if he had made up his mind.

"Okay, I'll try!"

Then Hua Sihai pulled a middle-aged man to the remote area and muttered, the middle-aged man's name was Cai Bin, and he was the village party secretary of the nearby village surnamed Cai, both of them were village cadres, and they usually had a good relationship.

After a while, the two of them discussed about it, Hua Sihai walked to the bonfire, let go of his voice and said:

"Folks, listen to me~"

At this time, the people in the cave looked over.

Hua Sihai paused for a moment and continued:

"I think now everyone knows what the situation is, this is the end of the world, we people should not die, survived, many of our relatives have died, but those of us who are alive must live well!"

"More than 1,000 of us need to eat, and there may be many of our relatives in the village who need us to rescue, what should we do?"

"Now I want to organize the party members, cadres, veterans, college students, etc. among our people to do something for everyone and maintain order.

At this time, Cai Bin also stood up and said: "I have already discussed with Hua Sihai, and now most of the people in this cave are from our two villages, we have to twist into a rope, so that we can have a way to live......"

The people around him also nodded yes.

With this beginning, the rest of the matter became easier, and soon Hua Sihai and Cai Bin screened out fifty or sixty party members, cadres, veterans, college students, etc. from the crowd to form a security team, responsible for maintaining order.

In addition, Hua Sihai, Cai Bin, and Liu Haitao formed a leading group, and Hua Sihai originally planned to let Hua Yan enter the leading group, but Hua Yan didn't do it, so he had to let Liu Haitao come.

Hua Yan and the others also took out all the materials buried in the cave, a generator, five or six sets of anti-radiation equipment, radiation monitors, pickaxes, etc., so that the people in the cave were in good spirits.
