The jeep stopped. The vibration from reality made Gu Tie in the game feel something, he put down the fork in his hand and said, "Sure enough, it's a delicious barbecue." I'll rest first, and we'll talk tomorrow, guys. Wave your hand to your buddies, climb into your own bed, and close your eyes.

Consciousness was withdrawn from the distant virtual world, Gu Tie opened his eyes and saw the jeep parked in front of a checkpoint, and the Italian negotiated with the sentry outside through the driver's window.

"This is a pass, a permit issued by the Ministry of Defense, and the truck behind it is a guard sent by General Vladimir Igri. Joe said in a thick nasal Ukrainian voice, and the sentry took the pass, scrutinized it, and a Ukrainian officer stepped out of the sentry box and looked through the window to see the inside of the jeep.

"Sir, here's my work card and pass. Alexander, an officer of the National Security Council, came from behind and showed his ID to the officer, "They are observers of the United Nations, their status is completely legal, I am ordered to accompany the team, I hope you can give some convenience." ”

"But the equipment ......" the Ukrainian officer hesitated, knocked on the window, and the trunk of the jeep was piled with a large number of munitions and unknown professional equipment.

The little man in the black suit patted the Ukrainian lieutenant on the shoulder and said, "I don't understand what these Yankees are doing, but at least I can assure you that they are not here to start World War III, and even if they do start World War III, I will guarantee in the name of the National Security Committee that this paragraph will not appear on your resume." ”

"Okay. Half a month ago, when I was on duty, a group of people like you came in, and they didn't bother me. But you know, I have to report to my superiors. The lieutenant nodded, motioning for the sentry to let him go.

The red lights flashed, the railings slowly rose, behind the outpost, inside the barbed wire, the P02 highway leads straight to the horizon, and the poplar trees and apple trees hanging red fruits grow on the side of the road, which looks peaceful and peaceful, and if it were not for the bright radiation danger signs on the barbed wire, no one would have known that they were about to step into the 30-kilometer Chernobyl radiation exclusion zone.

Alexander returned to the second jeep, and the convoy set off again.

Gu Tie looked curiously at the scenery outside the window and asked Amber beside him, "Is there anyone living in the radiation area?"

"Yes. "According to the statistics of the Ukrainian government in 2033, there are about 3,000 people living illegally in the radiation zone, most of whom are the offspring of evacuated local residents who have sneaked back to the radiation zone. ”

"The surface radiation must be very weak. ”

"Yes, below 0.1 millisieverts, a vehicle like ours that enters for a short period of time will not receive more than one X-ray examination. But the entire ecosystem of the Radiant Zone has been permanently altered, like the wild apples on the side of the road, and you certainly won't want to try its taste. "The Russian beauty sticks out her tongue.

At this time, Balvindra's voice came over the intercom: "Guys, put on your coats, Professor Tariq said, the amount of radiation on the surface of the 'Ark' will reach 800 microsieverts. ”

Amber leaned in and took out several people's equipment backpacks from the trunk, Gu Tie awkwardly took off his coat in the back seat, untied the self-defense pistol, put on the one-piece chemical protective suit, pulled the zipper from behind, buckled the mask, tightened the airtight ring, and with a bang, the dazzling orange chemical protective suit inflated and bulged.

Gu Tie fixed the satellite receiver on the multi-functional base on his shoulder, inserted the Kruger self-defense pistol in the left front pocket of the chemical protection suit, and suddenly remembered that the M1911 pistol was in his coat, and took out the pistol and inserted it in the right front pocket, patted his pocket, and felt like an upstart.

"The high-pressure gas tank can maintain oxygen supply for 7 hours, and there is a countdown in the lower right corner of the mask, pay attention to it. Barr's voice came. Gu Tie knew that this was for him, who had never participated in simulation training, and agreed.

Aunt Sula put on her hazmat suit and performed a vehicle with Joe as she shifted positions as the jeep sped steadily at 120 kilometers per hour.

Gu Tie was very interested in this housewife-like aunt, and asked Amber: "Aunt Sula can use weapons?"

Amber looked through the transparent polymer mask with an incredulous look of surprise: "You really don't know anything about Shiva, do you?"

"I knew Lao Ba was a strange Indian who didn't like curry, fries and fried fish. Gu Tie's old face turned red.

"Aunt Sula is ......" As soon as Amber started talking, Barr interjected and interrupted: "There's no time for small talk, I'll be at my destination in eight minutes, now check the gear." ”

Everyone looked down at their equipment, Aunt Sula held the steering wheel in her left hand, and picked up an ADO-12 automatic shotgun in her right hand. Sniper Joe quickly assembled a sniper rifle with a rather long barrel and a rotating bolt-pull sniper rifle, Gu Tie couldn't recognize what model it was, but the appearance was quite similar to the Mosinagan sniper rifle that terrified the Germans in the Battle of Stalingrad.

"Damn, antique, it's been over a hundred years. Pretending to be forced is a crime!" Gu Tie muttered, watching the Italian pull open the bolt, select a bullet from the ammunition bag, take a sigh, and carefully load it into the magazine.

"Kupac. Amber spoke. Gu Tie followed her gaze to look out the window, only to see a slightly raised hill.

"The village of Kupac, after the accident, was buried because the radiation was too strong. The blonde woman sighed, "My grandmother was a resident here. ”

Gu Tie didn't know how to talk, so he was silent.

The convoy soon drove into a desolate city, Pripyat, a city of 50,000 people built by the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and abandoned by the Chernobyl accident, where jeep all-terrain tires ran over cracked concrete pavement, dilapidated residential buildings looked at impudent outsiders with empty windows, the roar of engines echoed through the dead silence of the city, hula flapped wings, and a flock of frightened birds flew.

"Over. ”

"Over. ”

"Over. ”

"Over. ”

"Over. ”

The team members reported that they were ready, and Barr agreed, and suddenly made a joke: "Tie, in the general's place, your identity is a rich Chinese merchant with quirks, and in half a minute we will pass by a school, if necessary, we can stay for five minutes to give you time to look for the loot." ”

"Go play. Gu Tie said angrily.

The convoy passed by a school that had completely collapsed and the graffiti on the fence looked a bit grim. Gu Tie pursed his lips, "Barr, do you see, comedy is short-lived, tragedy is eternal, what do you want to do with what you dig out from under the rubble?"

"......" Barr pressed the call button, but did not speak.

After crossing a plain, the convoy entered the Chernobyl nuclear power plant site.

Chimneys and cooling towers pass through the windows, and since units 1 to 3 were actually shut down in 2000, the plant's construction and equipment are in a fairly good state of maintenance.

Passing through the Unit 3 complex, a huge gray arched building rises on the horizon ahead, and as the convoy approaches, the steel structure "Ark" appears taller and taller.

Aunt Sula bypassed a section of the fence and parked her car in front of the Chernobyl accident monument in front of the "Ark", several cars stopped one after another, people opened their doors, military boots stepped on the land defiled by nuclear demons 70 years ago, ten Ukrainian soldiers had clearly not performed a similar mission, with curiosity and fear on their expressions.

Gu Tie looked at the monument, which was a pair of marble palms holding up the nuclear symbol, which looked quite small against the background of the corrugated steel structure of the "Ark".

Barr stepped forward and patted Gu Tie on the shoulder: "Tie, you and the soldiers are outside, do your job, leave us alone." Joe will be hidden to protect you. ”

"I know, be careful. Gu Tie gently touched Barr with his mask and wished him good luck.

Aunt Sula, Joe, timpani, Professor Tariq, and Amber who were wearing chemical protective suits and carrying weapons and equipment on their backs came to shake hands with Gu Tie in turn, and Gu Tie pouted: "Don't make it look like saying goodbye, it's the king to climb out early." ”

"EMP bombs are placed in the roof of each jeep, and the detonation can cover about 2 square kilometers at the same time, just in case. Amber said as she walked past him. Gu Tie nodded.

The six core members of Shiva line up in front of the Chernobyl "Ark" steel coffin.

"Guys," Barr glanced at his teammates with a proud look, "know what I'm going to say?"

"Destruction is auspicious!" said five members of the team of different nationalities and beliefs.

"God bless me. Balvindra slammed his boots on the ground and led the team to stride towards the steel coffin. Joe walked away with his sniper rifle on his back, dissolving like a shadow behind the fence and disappearing.

The conversation that took place on the encrypted frequency was inaudible to others, and the Ukrainian soldier stood in place with a gun with a confused expression.
