Chapter Eighty-Five - The Second Power Plant
"It's weird, why can't you see anyone or living corpses in the entire power plant?"
Zhou Zhiyuan said puzzled after putting down the binoculars
Xie Dongcheng said: "There are no living corpses or living people in the employee parking lot and the parking area of the public works vehicles."
Chen Guohao said: "There is no sign of biological activity in the picture of the drone, nothing was photographed in a circle, the radiation value is 0 and there is no leakage, yesterday the military sent two search and rescue drone sets, I just integrated the radiation detector into one of them, and the results came in handy immediately"
Zhou Zhiyuan asked: "Why does this nuclear power plant look completely different from the previous one?"
Chen Guohao replied: "I read in the documents of the previous power plant, this should be an old-fashioned heavy water reactor nuclear power plant, in addition to the nuclear island and conventional island, there are more supporting measures and buildings, it looks like a factory, this kind of power plant is very troublesome to shut down, many of the control methods are mechanical and have to run a lot of places to control."
Zhou Zhiyuan said: "Let Fat Da help you today, he is very familiar with the principles of the mechanical operation of the engine, and he should be able to explore it faster than you."
Chen Guohao replied: "Well, it will take a lot of time in this power plant today, and it is possible that it will work until midnight or dawn."
Zhou Zhiyuan said: "We drove the car and parked it at the gate, I think since we can't see any signs of activity on the surface, we still need to go deep into each building, do a carpet search of the entire power plant, and be sure to record the whole process, and the official confession must leave evidence, so as not to be caught by people in the future."
When they arrived at the gate of the nuclear power plant, they pulled the front of the off-road RV in the direction of the outside, all of them wore a full set of tactical clothing, including a compact tactical helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, gloves, and the helmet was equipped with low-light night vision goggles, and everyone's long-range weapons, the composite bow and crossbow, in addition to the miniature waterproof tactical flashlight, were also equipped with an integrated laser pointer, which integrated the visible and invisible green, red, and blue lasers.
All the giant wolves except Luo Luo broke into pieces and searched the entire nuclear power plant everywhere, and everyone searched every corner one by one, and every place related to the shutdown process of the nuclear power plant Chen Guohao and Zhang Hongda needed more than 2 hours of working time to operate according to the documents, and everyone was scattered to guard the two of them, and according to the wolves, except for the relevant components of the reactor built under the ground, there was no sign of biological activity.
"It's really strange, how can it be that such a big nuclear power plant doesn't have half a living corpse, looking at the previous entry and exit records on the day of the disaster, there are still at least a few hundred employees working here, how can it be that there is not even half a living corpse seen"
Zhou Zhiyuan said suspiciously after communicating with Luo Luo
"Could it be like the new type of living corpse I saw yesterday, all in the reactor place? I wonder if it's because of the radiation that mutated those living corpses."
Zhang Hongda asked
"It's very likely that radiation can cause changes in biological cells in a short period of time, and living corpses are originally composed of abnormal biological cells."
Xie Dongcheng replied
"I'm going to shut down reactor No. 1 later, and we'll know the answer when we get there"
Liu Jianyu said
"This Unit 1 was previously subject to an emergency shutdown process, and many of the most critical components have been shut down ahead of schedule, and there may be employees still alive"
Chen Guohao said
"Oh? Then it's possible to hide in the basement of this unit, Lolo already smells a faint human smell."
Zhou Zhiyuan said to everyone
Everyone passed through several similar fire safety doors to a large sliding door leading to the underground rock formation, in the darkness through the low-light night vision goggles, everyone has seen several small round lights similar to camping lights in the half-open door, everyone pushed back the night vision goggles and carefully entered the door, only to see a straight passage with metal handrails and floor, the ceiling in the middle of the passage hung several small round LED lights, and the end of the passage is another half-open large sliding door, Everyone looked at each other and entered the back of the door one after another.
"Finally... Someone... Come to our rescue... up"
A faint moan came from the corner of the room, and I saw four scrawny people in mechanic's suits sitting against the wall in the corner, behind the door was a large rectangular room, on the floor was a large closed switch, and around the fence there were a total of 13 people in similar mechanic's suits, scattered everywhere in the sealed bags and cans of emergency relief food that were unique to the nuclear power plant, and the whole space was filled with a very unpleasant sour smell.
Everyone took out all the military rations and portable alpine gas stoves on the ground, and added more water than usual to cook the rice into gruel, and everyone took turns to feed all the survivors, Xie Dongcheng carefully checked everyone's physical condition and whether there were any external injuries, fortunately, all the surviving power plant mechanics were only weak caused by a long-term lack of food and water, and no one had any external injuries and disease reactions.
After eating some food and drinking some water, the engineer who recovered a little bit of his spirit, in addition to asking questions about the current situation in the outside world like ordinary people, was silent for a while, adjusted his mood, and then began to slowly recount the process between the day of the disaster and the rescue, which is not much different from the situation in other places, they are all in chaos, and the lucky people have found life and survived, the only difference is that the place of the nuclear power plant is open and not very dense, so there are more places to hide.
"So you were originally scattered in all corners, because someone controlled the broadcast system of the factory and led the living corpses to the square by the river? So how did all those living corpses disappear? We couldn't find it at all."
Zhou Zhiyuan asked suspiciously
All the staff showed a look of fear and began to state the whereabouts of the living corpses, it turned out that those living corpses did not disappear but were eaten by the same kind, and it happened a few days ago, more than 500 living corpses were wandering around the square, that day without warning, some of the living corpses began to pounce on their own kind, tearing off their limbs and then disemboweling, and finally the head, and in the process of eating them, it was very strange that the object of the attack would not resist at all, I don't know how big the psychological shadow area of the staff I saw that day.
The strange thing is that they will attack and eat the living corpses of their own kind, which is fixed, and the amount they eat every day is fixed and limited, after they have eaten, they will not make any movement but lie on the ground with their hands and curled legs, as if sleeping, that posture is like that of everyone in the mother's womb, when they wake up, they start to feed their own kind, and after the food is finished, they go to sleep again, and the same cycle repeats every day, until all the same kind of people have been eaten.
"When they found that there was no one of their kind to eat, they fell to the ground with the baby in their arms as before, but when they got up again, not only did they look very strange, but also the way they walked, some of them moved like dogs on the ground with their hands and feet, and dozens of monsters with big bellies, both men and women, and yesterday they ran to the northern mountains and forests under the leadership of a pregnant woman."
The engineer recalled, with a scared face
