Chapter 15, the consternation of the original Qing soldiers on the battlefield
The Fukushima nuclear power plant on a full moon night is sparsely lit and quiet.
Looking out from the office building on the seafront heights, the dark and dead town, bathed in the dim moonlight, can only make out a gloomy silhouette. In the dark bay in the other direction, the 25,000-ton floating nuclear power generation ship "Shirakumamaru", which was recently purchased from Russia, is quietly moored in a sheltered harbor surrounded by a concrete dam.
Under the silver veil of moonlight, the huge black hull of the ship looked like a giant beast that had gathered its minions and fallen into a deep sleep.
-- Because the Russian crew in charge of the delivery had already hastily withdrawn on the day the power generation ship entered the port, the Jishu personnel who were carrying out the next step of construction had not yet arrived. Therefore, looking out from the inside of the nuclear power plant at this time, whether it is a town or a ship, it is all the same empty, dark and dead. Only the cries of unknown beasts rose and fell in the desolate mountains and wilderness far away from the Fukushima nuclear power plant, and then dimly reached the ears of the former Seibei engineers on the battlefield with the bleak autumn wind, and it sounded a little like a wolf's howl......
Wolf howling?!
“…… How is this possible? The Japanese wolf has long been extinct! It must be that I've been watching in the middle of the night these days and getting dizzy......"
Battlefield Hara Kiyobei rubbed his ears vigorously while muttering quietly, "...... At most, there will be bison and dingoes......"
When he pricked up his ears again, the imaginary wolf howl had indeed turned into a "Wangwang" dog bark.
However, the battlefield Hara Kiyobei is actually very clear. After being abandoned, some of the delicate pet dogs quickly starved to death, while the other part of the dogs with tenacious vitality relearned the ability to hunt in the wilderness and survived on their own minions. And it was very nourishing in the undisturbed wilderness.
As for the so-called "bison" in the Fukushima radiation area, they were also originally raised by farmers. When the earthquake and tsunami struck, some of the lucky cattle were grazing in the wild. Since then, it has no one to control and has become a "bison" - just like the origin of the American wild horse. Others, who were less lucky, were trapped in the pen. Eventually, he starved to death because he had no one to take care of him.
Since the outbreak of the thrilling nuclear crisis, with the basic evacuation of mankind, the radiation exclusion zone with a radius of hundreds of kilometers centered on the Fukushima nuclear power plant has unwittingly become one of the largest nature reserves in Japan. Bears, raccoons, stray dogs, rare birds...... All kinds of wild animals, as well as pets abandoned by their owners, converge here over the course of several years, and live quite quietly and comfortably.
Due to the withdrawal of human activities, the entire Fukushima radiation area within a radius of tens of kilometers has become a paradise for flora and fauna at this time. The fish in the creek are big and plentiful, and the birds spend the winter here. Abandoned terraces and orchards, almost once again turned into primeval forests, are rejuvenating.
Even profit-hungry poachers have never visited the area - the skins are so radiated that they are in excess of the limit. How to sell?
In short, for humans, the radiation zone is hell, a wasteland. For wildlife, the radiation zone is a sanctuary, a paradise.
-- For the animals that live in the Fukushima nuclear radiation zone. This can probably be summed up as "humans are more violent than radiation".
Although there is nuclear radiation here, there is no human rule, and in the uninhabited Fukushima Island, all kinds of animals can finally survive relatively well.
But for the employees who still work at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, this kind of "vitality" is not a good thing - especially among the decaying houses in Futaba, or on their daily commute to work, you can see a group of bears .........shopping together.
Recalling that when he first came to the Fukushima nuclear power plant, he was chased by a chubby bear and couldn't breathe, and Zuihou could only roll down the hill in a long windbreaker.
In some lonely, boring and boring moments, the battlefield hara Kiyobei occasionally thinks back to the Chinese female reporter who came to interview a few days ago - because he has not been in close contact with a young and beautiful professional woman like this for a long time, but when he communicates with the reporter, he is slightly overexcited, and seems to have accidentally exploded some fierce news...... I don't know if there will be trouble in the future?
Hey, whatever! Anyway, according to the reporter's description, the company she currently works for is only a local newspaper in China with little influence, and even if she writes any sensational reports, it is estimated that it will not reach Japan......
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
“…… Jingle Bell Bell ......"
With a clear sound of the alarm, the battlefield Kiyobei finally came back to his senses, yawned and slapped his mouth with his hand, looked up at the wall clock on the wall, and realized that it was time for the night patrol again.
So, according to the standard operating procedure, he took out a full set of protective equipment from the cabinet, put on an airtight protective suit, put on a gas mask that covered his entire face, and then, like a bloated penguin, staggered out of the office, walked down the stairs, left the silent office building, and walked through a messy lawn that had not been mowed for a long time, and finally stepped into the sparsely lit and shadowy nuclear power plant workshop. Carefully inspect a corner.
-- In the high-radiation environment near the Fukushima nuclear power plant, all kinds of conventional electronic components are extremely vulnerable, especially some overly sensitive sensing and camera equipment, and the life span of the Fukushima nuclear power plant in the high-radiation zone is often only a few days to a few weeks. The price of professional monitoring equipment that can withstand radiation is too high, and the actual service life extension is also limited, which discourages the stingy TEPCO......
So, since the outbreak of the nuclear crisis. The personnel on duty at the Fukushima nuclear power plant can no longer sit comfortably in the duty room and watch the surveillance images taken by cameras everywhere through the big screen, but must bathe in terrifying radiation, walk through every factory and warehouse with their own feet, and use the naked eye to cooperate with the instrument to observe and judge whether the operation of the nuclear power plant is normal.
The protective clothing worn by the former Kiyobei on the battlefield. It's still an old style developed decades ago, it's bulky and airless, and it's only a few steps to wear it. I feel stuffy and unbearable...... Fortunately, it's autumn and the weather is much cooler. It was even more difficult to experience in the heat of summer – during work inside a nuclear power plant. The mask should never be removed, otherwise it will become contaminated with radioactive particles. Therefore, when you are at work, no matter how thirsty you are, you can't lift your mask and drink water. Naturally, there is no air conditioning in the basement of the nuclear power plant, so after working for a period of time in the scorching heat, employees feel as if they are surrounded by raging flames, and some people suffer from heat stroke and dehydration almost every day.
Fortunately, the hardest days of the year have basically passed!
But. Will I survive to the next year in this hellish place filled with deadly radiation?
Alas, I really want to go back to my daughter, and then every day when I go home, I can see her smiling face and taste the food she cooks with her own hands!
Battlefield Yuan Qingbei sighed with a wry smile. At the same time, I am walking slowly along the dark and broken roads with flashlights on them, because deadly radiation has prevented construction workers and construction materials from entering, so many of the concrete roads that were destroyed at the time of the earthquake and tsunami at the Fukushima nuclear power plant are still in tattered appearance, let alone driving. Even walking is too bad on the road. …,
Then, before the inspection work was half completed, the radiation dosimeter badge worn on the chest of the former Seibei on the battlefield suddenly began to call out repeatedly "dripping" -- it stands to reason that this means that it is forbidden to continue working, or that the radiation exceeds the safe level.
However, the battlefield hara Kiyobei ignored its alarm, and only because the badge kept ringing and making people's ears swollen, they took off the badge and threw it aside, and then continued to patrol - after living and working in the Fukushima radiation zone for so long, the amount of radiation accumulated on their bodies has already exceeded the standard by many times, and they have long since stopped caring about such a little bit.
After walking around the factory for a few laps, the original Qingbei who didn't find anything unusual on the battlefield returned to the office, took off his bulky protective clothing and mask, and then walked straight to the central control room, intending to conduct a surprise spot check on the night duty personnel tonight to see if they were lazy and dozing off, gambling in private, going out off duty, or secretly embezzling the LCD screen in the control room to watch the new animation late night in this year's autumn......
There is no way, the employees who are currently staying at the Fukushima nuclear power plant are basically deceived or coerced by gangsters, and it is simply a dream to expect them to love and dedicate themselves to their jobs -- in the terrifying atmosphere of being accompanied by death every day, they can barely restrain their despair, so as not to turn into terrorists and directly blow up the nuclear power plant to take revenge on society, which is already very conscientious!
In fact, if it's just an ordinary passive slack like this, it's still haode. In the worst case, there was even a returned expatriate on night duty who secretly hid in the toilet during working hours and used tin foil to suck a drug called "bath salts" -- a new hallucinogen, also known as "zombie powder", which is mainly composed of high-purity crystals of a highly effective psychotropic drug, cathinone. Moreover, the production process of this drug "bath salts" is quite simple. Theoretically, just one student majoring in chemical engineering at a science and engineering university can do it directly in the kitchen.
The most terrible harm of this drug is that when an addict takes this drug called "bath salts", it will not only make him completely fall into a state of hallucination and lose his mind, but also make the drug addict fantasize about himself as a superman, fantasize about others as monsters, and attack the "monsters......
In short, when the battlefield Kiyobei received the alarm, crawled out of the bed with a curse, and rushed over with an electric shock baton, this guy who smoked "bath salts" had already roared and bit off the neck of a colleague, and ripped off the entire face of a colleague......
What's worse is that there was also a young man on duty that night, who was a lover of "School Apocalypse" and "Resident Evil". After seeing his familiar colleague suddenly go berserk and start biting and eating people, he immediately thought of radiation mutation and the outbreak of the zombie virus. Suddenly frightened, he actually rode a motorcycle for hundreds of kilometers overnight, trying to escape to Tokyo, and shouted everywhere along the way, saying that there were zombies in Fukushima! Zuihou also stormed a newspaper office and showed reporters the "zombie images" he had taken with his mobile phone......
Finally, after the "Fukushima Zombie Incident" basically subsided, under the fierce protests of the former Seibei engineers on the battlefield. TEPCO finally stopped recruiting new people from the drug rehabilitation center, but he was so angry that he didn't know what to say because he was crammed with a few mentally retarded patients.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
But. The people on duty tonight seem to be a few more honest guys...... There shouldn't be any problems!
Battlefield Hara Kiyobei Engineer thought as he gently pushed open the door to the central control room. And then.........
“…… Nani?! ”
In the windowless central control room, it was pitch black, I don't know if it was weishenme, and all the lights were extinguished. The screens of only a handful of computers still glow fluorescent, flickering with strings of numbers of various colors, and ever-changing charts and curves.
He shone around with a flashlight and found that all the seats in the central control room were empty, and there was not even a single figure in the entire room.
…… Could this be...... All employees deserted?
It's so unseemly!
Could it be that they are hiding somewhere to gamble? Or are you smoking marijuana secretly?
Or did they take off their pants together and gather together to watch with tissues?
In the minds of the original Qingbei engineers on the battlefield, such a messy thought immediately popped up.
Then, he heard a strange sound. A violent wheezing sound of "whooping, whooshing" was so loud that it seemed to come from a group of amateurs who had just finished a cross-country marathon out of breath and collapsed on the ground to "pump their bellows......
But here's the problem...... These violent wheezing sounds came from the top of the original Seibei on the battlefield.
Suddenly. The five-year-old senior electrical engineer Chinese New Year's Eve felt a chill from the depths of his bone marrow. It seems that some kind of basic concept that he has adhered to for half his life is about to be torn apart and trampled to the ground.
“…… What the hell is this...... No way......? ”
On the battlefield, Kiyobei twisted his body and looked up stiffly, and then saw a scene that made him unbelievable.
-- A few hazy figures. is hanging upside down from the ceiling of the central control room...... It's like a bat!
Of course, for the battlefield Kiyobei Hara, who has watched a lot of Western monster movies, this upside-down posture can also be associated with another kind of monster.
-- A certain kind of monster that exists only in legends in the perception of the original Seibei on the battlefield and should never appear in modern civilized society.
However, they were now hanging upside down on the ceiling above his head, less than three meters from his eyes......
“…… Deceitful...... Right? It's not scientific! ”
The battlefield Kiyobei, whose mind was in chaos and his consciousness was almost broken, finally couldn't help but let out a faint moan. But in the next moment, he covered his mouth with regret - the moment he made a faint sound from his mouth, all the vague figures hanging upside down from the ceiling suddenly opened their eyes together, and emitted an evil red light like rubies!
At the same time, relying on the faint light emitted by the computer screen, he also saw that the tip of the fingers of a certain upside-down man had grown sharp claws that did not look like those of humans, and two sharp and long canine teeth were exposed in his mouth, reflecting a dazzling cold light in the dark!
An indescribable chill suddenly climbed into the heart of Kiyobei Hara on the battlefield - not because he didn't know anything about this kind of thing, in fact, he had seen similar things countless times in Hollywood horror movies and Western fantasy novels.
That's right, red eyes, sharp teeth and nails...... It's just a monster - and that's a vampire!
But the question is, how can this kind of fantasy monster, which is completely imagined by human beings in literary works, exist in reality?
If you take 10,000 steps back, if there are any vampires in the world, it should be in Europe or the United States...... But this is Japan on the other side of Shijie!
Before thinking about this question with his head, driven by his intuition, the battlefield Hara Kiyobei turned around and ran towards the exit with his legs drawn.
Sure enough, his instinct came true - with an indescribable roar, the vampires left the ceiling, but instead of falling to the ground, they spread a pair of wings like bats' wings, whistling and swooping down on the back of the original Kiyobei on the battlefield. …,
Fortunately, this is not a dark forest bathed in the cold moonlight, but a small space inside a reinforced concrete building - I saw that the battlefield original Qingbei used all his strength to break out of the door with an arrow, and then turned around and "bang", and slammed the thick door of the central control room, and at the same time lowered the safety latch set outside......
So, with the thud of a heavy object hitting the door, not a single vampire was able to break out of the central control room.
And the battlefield Kiyobei, who was temporarily out of danger, couldn't help but lean his back against the wall of the corridor and let out a long breath.
“…… What a hell of a life! What the hell is going on? Well, anyway, let's notify the above as soon as possible! ”
Kiyobei scratched his hair in confusion, reached into his trouser pocket, and tried to use his mobile phone or walkie-talkie to contact the people in the dormitory, but he was empty--these two communication tools seemed to have been lost in the desperate run just now.
At this time, a small women's mobile phone, accompanied by a faint fragrant breeze, was suddenly handed to his side.
“…… If you don't mind, please use my phone. Mr. Battlefield Hara. ”
In the surprised eyes of the original Qingbei on the battlefield, the "Miss Chinese Reporter" who he had just met a few days ago suddenly appeared behind him.
“…… Miss Wang?! How did you end up here?!! ”
“…… Of course, it's to retreat from the otherworldly monsters and maintain the peace of Shijie! ”
Wang Yao said with a wry smile, the bandages on his arms seemed to be still oozing blood slightly, "...... Unfortunately, this time the task seems to be beyond my processing capacity! I hope the reinforcements can catch up soon......"
