The commander waved his hand to signal that it was okay, and Su Mengfan pushed open the transparent door, lifted the submachine gun, and jumped into the street. Although the Stalker asked him to keep up with his pace and not to wander around, it was impossible to obey......

Since Su Mengfan was a child, the sky has completely changed. The void is no longer an endless sky blue, but a dark cloud.

The first drops of autumn have fallen from the gray sky. The cold wind blew through and penetrated into the cloth protective clothing worn by Su Mengfan.

The space here is unbelievably large and stunning, and there is a lot of empty space to the left, right and front. This boundless space is both intriguing and strangely oppressive.

In an instant, Su Mengfan wanted to return to the front hall under the ground of {Hayabusa Station}, feel the sense of security brought by the nearby wall, and plunge himself into a limited space isolated from the world, and stay comfortably.

However, he forced himself to divert his attention by studying recent buildings in order to combat this oppressive feeling.

The sun had set, and the city was gradually being enveloped in the darkness before nightfall.

The pillars of low-rise apartment buildings have been eroded by acid rain for decades, and the surface has become uneven.

All that was left of the broken windows were empty window frames, staring at them as they passed.

The city...... Although bleak, it still gives a magnificent sight.

Su Mengfan didn't hear any call, just stood still, looking around in fascination, he finally had the opportunity to contrast reality and dreams, with rather vague childhood memories.

Thatch, who may have also never been to the ground, was also standing next to Su Mengfan. The last person to walk out of the base vestibule was Tyne.

The stalker tapped Su Mengfan on the shoulder to get his attention, pointing to the silhouette of the cathedral dome standing in the distance under the sky.

"Look at the cross." Tyne's voice muffled through the filter of the gas mask.

At first, Su Mengfan didn't see anything special, and indeed didn't see the cross, only a huge shadow with wings, dragging a creepy sigh flying out from behind the door.

That's when he realized what Tyne was talking about.

After a few flaps of its wings, the monster flew high into the air, spun around in a big circle, and slid down in search of food.

"That's where it nests." Tyne said, waving his hand.

They leaned against the wall and moved in the direction of the library.

The commander led the group, a few steps ahead, while Tyne was a few steps behind, half-turned, and cushioned.

It was precisely because the two stalkers were distraught that Su Mengfan was able to glance at the Lite Shimu Palace before they could get close to the bronze statue of the old man sitting in the armchair.

Su Mengfan did this action unconsciously, but when he saw the monument, he couldn't help but be moved, something in his memory became clear, and the thing in his dream yesterday suddenly appeared in its entirety.

But now it seemed that it was more than just a dream, for the panorama he had seen and the colonnade of the library were now presented to him.

Does this mean that the Liteswood Palace is the Liteswood Palace he imagined before?

No one paid attention to Su Mengfan, not even Thatch was not around, and he was left behind with Tyne.

Su Mengfan said to herself, "It's now, or never." ”

His lips dried out, and blood began to run rampant across his temples.

The stars on the fortress really shine brightly.

"Hey! Alcohen! Alcohen! Someone shook his shoulder and called.

The numb consciousness woke up with difficulty, and a bright light shone into his eyes.

Su Mengfan began to blink vigorously and cover them with his hands. He was sitting on the ground with his back to the granite pedestal of the monument.

Thatch and the Commander were bending in his direction, looking him in the eye with concern.

"His pupils are constricting," said the Commander, "how did you get him lost?" He asked Tyne angrily.

Tyne stood not far away, eyes fixed on the street.

"There's something behind that that makes a sound, and I can't turn my back to it." Stalker explained.

"Who would have thought he would be so fast...... Look, almost in a minute, he almost got to {Saviolov station}...... He should stick to it.

The good thing is that our stalker's head is still on his own shoulder.

He said as he patted Thatch on the back with his hand.

"It's glowing," Su Mengfan said to the commander in a faint voice, "it's glowing." He looked at Thatch.

"It's glowing, well, it's glowing," Thatch repeated soothingly.

"Didn't I tell you not to look over there, idiot!" The commander said angrily to Su Mengfan.

He was now sure that the danger was over, "Will you obey the orders of the chief?" He asked as he patted the back of Su Mengfan's head with his hand.

The helmet reduced the strength of this slap with a lesson in meaning, and Su Mengfan continued to sit on the ground, his eyes fighting. The Stalker finally had no patience and grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him violently, placing him on his feet.

Su Mengfan gradually regained consciousness, and he was ashamed that he could not resist the temptation.

He stood up and looked at the toe in his boot, hesitating to look at the commander.

Luckily, the Commander didn't have time to say anything, as his attention was drawn to Tyne.

Tyne was standing at a crossroads. He had signaled to his partner to come over together, and placed his finger on one of the filters of the gas mask, asking everyone to be quiet.

Su Mengfan decided not to get involved for the time being, but to follow the commander everywhere, and no longer face the mysterious fortress.

The Commander walked towards Tyne.

The bearded man was pointing into the distance, far away from the Leyswood Palace, where along Kalinin Street there were long, broken high-rise buildings that looked like rotten teeth exposed.

Su Mengfan cautiously approached them, vigilantly observing the surroundings from the wide back of the stalker.

Then, he quickly figured out the situation.

Right in the middle of the street, about 60 meters from them, he saw three figures standing motionless in the vast twilight.

Is it human?

At such a distance, Su Mengfan never thought that they were really human, but they were of medium stature and stood on two legs. It's an exhilarating sight.

"What's that?" Su Mengfan asked in a hoarse voice, whispering, and trying to make out the distant shadow from the blurred window on the gas mask he was wearing.

Were those humans, or were they some kind of rodent animals that they had talked about?

The commander shook his head silently, meaning that his knowledge was as limited as Su Mengfan's.

He shone his flashlight at the motionless creatures and turned them around three more times. Then he turned off his flashlight. In response, a bright light shot in the distance, turned three circles, and then vanished.

The tension immediately relaxed, and the dull atmosphere became normal. Before the commander lifted the alarm, Su Mengfan had already felt this.

"Stalker," the commander explained, "remember, next time our identification signal is to draw three circles with a flashlight, and if you get the same response, you can rest assured that you can go forward boldly and you will not be harmed."

If you don't get any response, or if the response signal is different, run quickly and don't stop for a moment. ”

"But if they have flashlights, that means they're human, not some kind of monster on the ground." Su Mengfan objected.

"I don't know what's worse," the commander interrupted Su Mengfan's words and continued to walk forward without further explanation.

Su Mengfan saw that the commander didn't answer, so he didn't continue to ask.

Then the four of them went on without saying anything.

It is more about using gestures to communicate, and it is true that the wearer wears a heavy one-piece protective suit, just the fog in the mask makes people feel a little uncomfortable to breathe, of course, to reduce physical strength.

And the radiation on the ground is far greater than that of the subway, and there are some places where the radiation is small, and there is not even a protective shield.

Su Mengfan had seen the prosperous world in his previous life, but here he saw the scene on the ground, a huge contrast, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

At the same time, there was a nuclear explosion, and the scene here reminded Su Mengfan of the Chernobyl accident in his previous life.

The impact of nuclear radiation on the ecological environment is fatal, and the Chernobyl zone has not yet been fully restored.

This is only the effect of low-concentration uranium fuel, which is used to make atomic bombs with more than 30 times the concentration of uranium raw materials than nuclear power plants, and the damage to the ecology will also increase exponentially.

In addition, the explosion of a nuclear bomb will produce 5 million tons of smoke and dust, which will drift into the stratosphere with the shock wave, forming a thick cloud of nuclear dust that completely blocks the light, and then the earth's surface will be plunged into a long nuclear winter, with vegetation degradation, animal death, and even marine ecosystems will not be spared.

And this place is far more terrifying than that, the whole world here has been destroyed, and I don't know where there is a "paradise" where you can do without protective clothing.

The worst consequence of a nuclear war is the destruction of the existing social order, and the degradation of human society into a dark forest where the jungle is the jungle, where everyone is both a hunter and a prey, the difference is whether they are strong or not.

The most terrible thing about nuclear weapons is not its shock wave and nuclear radiation, but the destruction of social order and spiritual beliefs, a devastating force that can destroy all the dreams and hopes of mankind, turn living people into walking corpses, and turn civilization into barbarism.

Now we are in the nuclear winter, the whole world is dark, sunlight cannot reach the earth, the ground temperature will drop suddenly, the photosynthesis of plants will be forced to stop, 99.99% of the plants on the surface will die, and in this environment, the remaining animals and plants will gradually die.

In order to survive, you have to evolve yourself and make yourself more adaptable to life under radiation.

All this reminded Su Mengfan of his previous life in 1945, when the world's first original. When the bullet exploded, Oppenheimer said:

"The sky is full of strange light, like the power of the Holy Spirit."

"Only a thousand suns can compete with it."

"I am the Grim Reaper, I am the destroyer of the world."
