Chernobyl, eight hundred years after that nuclear accident.

In Pripyat, the closest to the nuclear power plant, all the buildings are still the same as when they left.

Iron lunch box on the windowsill, pills. Doll in bed. It's just that they're all covered in deadly dust.

For 800 years, it was a dead city.

Occasionally, tourists wear radiation protective clothing to visit here, adding some human atmosphere to this place. On top of that, nature has taken over and it has become a haven for wildlife.

A group of people appeared in this concrete forest, and Paraná used the portal to reach the forbidden area.

"Alas, after 800 years, the radiation index here is still exceeded." Christina frowned.

"Okay, we're not here to protect the environment, what are you looking for?" Parana was a little impatient.

"If you're looking for traces of our blazing sun magic, I can help you." Icarus followed, "Even after a few hundred years, I can clearly feel the breath of the blazing sun. ”

"He's talking about the year of the Apocalypse, which is roughly equivalent to one or two thousand years on your Earth." Lena added.

"I'm going to find the clothes of the firefighters who were exposed to direct radiation back then. They have become radioactive sources, they are easy to find, and according to the records, they should be in the basement of the Pripyat Hospital. ”

"After so many years, the clothes at that time would have been rotten."

"The radiation there is so strong that no living thing can survive, be it bugs or bacteria. The clothes must still be in that basement in perfect condition. The problem is that 800 years of wind and sun have rendered the building unrecognizable, and we don't have a map of that era, so we can only use a radiation meter to probe one by one to see which building has a high reading. ”

"Cut, that's a nuisance." Barana muttered, "What do you call us to do here?" ”

"The building up in front of you is!" Christina shouted excitedly and pointed to the circular building in front of her. Although it may not have been in this shape in its original form, the erosion of wind and rain has changed its shape.

"It looks like we need violent demolition, and that's when Lena is needed. It is estimated that our conventional equipment will be a one-time operation in such a strong radiation environment. And I don't want to alarm the rest of the Academy of Sciences about this, the higher the level of secrecy, the better. ”

"Where? This? Lena gestured, and Christina nodded.

A white light shot out, and a hole was punched through the ground, and the ground seemed to be unstable and collapsed. However, it saves their effort, and they can go down directly by stepping on the gravel.

"Pay attention to your radiation meter, the radiation here is very high, and I suspect that the combat armor will not be able to carry it for long." Christina said nervously, staring at the monitor in her mask. This is also said to Barana alone, those two Apocalypse people are not afraid of radiation at all.

"Turn right ahead." Christina instructed, and it seemed that she was not far from her destination.

"Wait." Icarus suddenly waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stop.

"What's going on? People with blazing suns? Barana was on guard with a gun in one hand and a sword in the other.

"There's an enchantment set by the Blazing Sun Magic ahead, let me see it." Icarus' mace was too high, and the basement floor was full of rubble, which made the passage not high enough and looked a little constrained.

"That's not right, look at the strength of this enchantment, I actually set it myself?" Icarus was taken aback, he couldn't remember when he had been here, "Could it be some Blazing Sun traitor holding my magic amulet?" ”

"Let's not talk about that, can we get over?" Lena asked.

"That's easy, I've eliminated it."

"Here we are." As soon as he passed through the barrier, a door appeared in front of him, and as soon as he approached the door, the readings of the radiation meter soared.

"Icarus, can I trouble you to make a trip to see if the clothes inside have any traces of your fiery sun magic. Our radiation levels are already high. ”

"Ah, no problem." Icarus kicked open the sturdy iron door. "Hmm......"

"What's wrong?" Christina asked.

"It's weird, there's also a Blazing Sun Barrier in there."

"What the hell is going on here?" Parana didn't understand the purpose of the man who released the barrier.

"Wait, I think about it...... Maybe they had black gold fragments in their clothes. Probably a small piece that you picked up and put in your pocket. Christina thought of what they had come for, Black Gold.

"I'll look for it, I'm all too familiar with the things that the Night Lord uses for this old boy."

"Why, the inventor of black gold is the Night King?" Christina asked, thinking it was an ancient Chinese masterpiece.

"That's right, about 10,000 years ago, this kid wore his black armor everywhere to show off his might. I can't be mistaken. Icarus affirmed.

"Forget it, we'll talk about it later, you can find the black gold fragment first."

"Aha, I found it." Icarus pinched up a small piece of black substance, "This is it. ”

"It's strange, why didn't the people of Blazing Sun take the black gold fragment when they found it, and protect it with an enchantment." Parana felt that this was unreasonable.

"I don't know." Icarus shook his head, "And this man still has my amulet. ”

Parana glanced at Icarus with a squint of eyes, could it be that he deliberately pretended to be dead under Mohenjo Daro?

"Alright, our mission at this stage is done, it's time to go. The next step was to put on special radiation-resistant armor, which was not suitable for the Chernobyl reactor, even if it was designed for fleet commanders. ”

"Now at least we know that black gold is not indestructible." Christina carefully placed the fragment of black gold, which had been exposed to countless radiation, into the radiation protection bag. This is a lethal source of radiation.

"Of course, antimatter will definitely have an effect. That is, we have too little antimatter, and your academy will not give us approval. Parana couldn't help but complain.

"The total power of your fleet's nuclear arsenal is already tens of thousands of times the total amount of antimatter on Earth. What are you doing with all that hard-earned antimatter? Christina suddenly remembered that this guy was not from her own academy, and the two exchanged words.

"Forget it, let's go back, go to that isolation pod, right? I'm going to open the door. ”

A few people didn't have to go through the radiation treatment anymore, and the two earthlings changed into special armor, and Lena opened the portal to Chernobyl's interior.

During these eight hundred years, the perimeter of Chernobyl was reinforced with layer after layer of concrete. The underground is also isolated from each other. If it weren't for Lena's portal, I really don't know if there would be any way to get in.

It was pitch black inside, and it could only be illuminated by Lena's magic, and the lighting equipment outside the armor didn't last long. The four of them struggled through a pipeline area, many of which had collapsed, and Icarus was a burly man, and Paraná struggled to walk through it. Icarus offered to clear a road, but Cristina sternly refused.

Unleashing the fission magic of Icarus in such a place is simply looking for death. Lena didn't dare to act rashly, although Christina had already obtained drawings from other nuclear power plants of the same structure in Belarus, but the damage here was too bad, and she didn't know where Lena's portal was opened, so it was not clear where they were for a while. In the unlikely event that the magic damaged one of the pipes and caused the water vapor to explode, of course the Apocalypse would be fine, and she and Barana would be finished.

"We seem to be right under the reactor." Christina looked at the map in her mask, "It should be the fuel rods going up." No, the fuel rods should have melted down, right......"

"What do you mean?" At times like these, Barana is particularly confused.

"It means that the nuclear fuel has melted the structure of the nuclear power plant and should have cooled down into a lava-like substance, and it has become something like ceramics again. But we're actually under the reactor......"

"You mean, our location should have been melted down, did you?" Paraná frowned.

"That's right, I think there's only one reason for this."

"At the time of the accident, there was an Apocalypse Man standing under the reactor, where we are now."
