The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 29: The fierce battle in the dead city (part 1)
The jeep stopped. The shock from reality made Gu Tie in the game feel something. He put down the fork in his hand and said, "It really is a delicious barbecue. I will rest and talk tomorrow, guys." Waved his hands to his friends and climbed onto his bed. , Close your eyes.
Consciousness withdrew from the remote virtual world. Gu Tie opened his eyes and saw the jeep parked in front of a checkpoint, and the Italian was negotiating with the sentry outside through the cab window.
"This is a pass, a permit issued by the Ministry of National Defense, and the truck behind is an **** sent by General Vladimir Igri." Joe said in a strong nasal Ukrainian. The sentry took the pass and checked carefully. A Ukrainian officer walked out of the guard box and observed the situation inside the jeep through the window.
"Sir, this is my work permit and pass." National Security Council official Alexander came from behind and showed the officer his credentials. "They are observers of the United Nations. Their identity is completely legal. I have been ordered to accompany the team. I hope you can give Some convenience."
"But these equipment..." The Ukrainian officer hesitated, knocking on the window of the car. There were a large number of arms and unknown professional equipment in the trunk of the jeep.
The little man in a black suit patted the Ukrainian lieutenant on the shoulder and said, "I don't know what these Yankees are here for, but at least I can assure you that they are not here to start the Third World War,- —Even if they did cause World War III, I would guarantee that this paragraph will not appear in your resume in the name of the National Security Committee."
"Okay. When I was on duty half a month ago, a group of people similar to you came in, and they didn't trouble me. But you know, I must report to my superiors." The lieutenant nodded and motioned to the sentry. Let go.
The red light is flashing, and the railing slowly rises. Behind the post and inside the barbed wire, the p02 highway leads straight to the sky. There are poplar trees and apple trees with red fruits on the side of the road. It looks peaceful and quiet, if it weren’t for the barbed wire. With bright signs of radiation danger, no one knew that they were about to enter the 30-kilometer radiation exclusion zone of Chernobyl.
Alexander returned to the second jeep, and the convoy set off again.
Gu Tie looked at the scenery outside the window curiously, and asked Amber beside him: "Is anyone living in the radiation zone?"
"Yes." The blonde woman replied, "According to the statistics of the Ukrainian government in 2033, there are about 3,000 people living in the radiation zone illegally. Most of them are the offspring of evacuated local residents who sneak back into the radiation zone to give birth."
"The surface radiation should be very weak, right."
"Yes, less than 0.1 millisieverts. If you enter in a vehicle like us for a short time, you will not receive more than one x-ray inspection. But the entire ecosystem in the radiation area has been permanently changed, such as the roadside Wild apple, you definitely don't want to try its taste." The Russian beauty sticks out her tongue.
At this time, Barvindra's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Guys, put on your coat. Professor Tariq said, the radiation on the inner surface of the Ark will reach 800 microsieverts."
Amber leaned forward and took out the equipment backpacks of several people from the trunk. Gu Tie awkwardly took off his coat in the back seat, took off his self-defense pistol, put on a one-piece chemical protective suit, zipped up from the back, and fastened his mask. , Tighten the airtight ring, and with a chirp, the dazzling orange chemical protective suit inflated.
Gu Tie fixed the satellite receiver on the multifunctional base on his shoulders and inserted the Kruger self-defense pistol into the left front pocket of the chemical protective suit. Suddenly remembered that the m1911 pistol was in his coat, he took out the pistol and inserted it in the front right. In the bag, patted his pocket, feeling like a nouveau riche.
"The high-pressure gas tank can maintain oxygen supply for 7 hours. There is a countdown timer in the lower right corner of the mask. Pay attention to it." Barr's voice came. Gu Tie knew that this was meant for him who had not participated in the simulation training, and agreed.
Aunt Sura put on chemical protective clothing, and performed a car shift with Joe, the jeep steadily speeding at 120 kilometers per hour.
Gu Tie was very interested in this aunt who looked like a housewife, and asked Amber: "Aunt Sura can use weapons?"
Amber showed an incredibly surprised expression through the transparent polymer mask: "You really don't know anything about Shiva, do you?"
"I knew that Mr. Ba is a strange Indian who doesn't like curry and loves French fries and fried fish." Old Gu Tie blushed.
"Aunt Sula is..." As soon as Amber mentioned the conversation, Barr intervened and interrupted: "There is no time to chat. I will arrive at the destination in eight minutes. Now check the equipment."
Everyone looked down at their equipment. Aunt Sura held the steering wheel in her left hand and held an ado-12 automatic shotgun in her right hand. With a few clicks, she completed the work of disassembling the drum, loading and resetting with one hand. Sniper Joe quickly assembled a sniper rifle with a long revolving barrel. Gu Tie couldn’t recognize what model it was, but its appearance was similar to that of the Mosinaghan sniper rifle that made the Germans frightened during the Battle of Stalingrad. Quite close.
"Damn, antique, it's been over a hundred years. Pretending to be a crime!" Gu Tie murmured, watching the Italian pull the bolt and select a bullet from the ammo bag, hehe, carefully Load into the magazine.
"Kupach." Amber said. Gu Tie followed her gaze and looked out the window, only to see a slightly raised hill.
"Kupachi Village, after the accident, the radiation was too strong and the whole was buried." The blonde woman sighed, "My grandmother used to be a resident here."
Gu Tie was silent for some reason.
The convoy quickly drove into a desolate city, Pripyat, a 50,000-person city built by the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and deserted by the Chernobyl accident. The all-terrain tires of the jeep ran Across the cracked concrete pavement, the broken residential building used its empty windows to look at the rude outsiders. The roar of the engine echoed in the dead city, hula la flapping its wings, and a flock of startling birds flew up.
"Finish."
"Finish."
"Finish."
"Finish."
"Finish."
The team members reported that their preparations were completed. Barr agreed and suddenly joked: "Tie, you are a quirky Chinese businessman with the general. In half a minute, we will pass by a school. If necessary, we It can stay for five minutes to give you time to find loot."
"Go play with eggs." Gu Tie said angrily.
Sure enough, the convoy passed a school. The four-story school building has completely collapsed, and the graffiti remaining on the fence looks a bit gloomy. Gu Tie pouted, "Barr, can you see that comedy is short-lived, tragedy is eternal, what do you want to do with what you dug under the ruins?"
"..." Barr pressed the call button, but did not speak.
After crossing a plain, the convoy entered the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
The chimney and cooling tower passed by the car windows. Since Units 1 to 3 were actually completely shut down in 2000, the construction and equipment maintenance of the nuclear power plant is still quite good.
Passing through the building complex of Unit 3, a huge gray arched building stands on the horizon ahead. As the convoy approaches, the steel structure "Ark" appears taller and taller.
Aunt Sura walked around 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 the doors and their army boots were taken by the nuclear demon 70 years ago. On the defiled land, ten Ukrainian soldiers apparently had not performed a similar mission, with curiosity and fear in their expressions.
Gu Tie looked at the monument. The monument was a pair of marble palms holding up the nuclear symbol, which looked rather small against the background of the corrugated steel structure of the "Ark".
Barr stepped forward and slapped Gu Tie on the shoulder: "Tie, you and the soldiers are outside. Do your job and leave us alone. Joe will hide and protect you."
"I know, pay attention." Gu Tie touched Barr lightly with his mask, wishing him good luck.
Aunt Sura, Joe, timpani, Professor Tariq, and Amber, wearing chemical protective suits and carrying weapons and equipment, walked in turn to shake hands with Gu Tie, and Gu Tie pouted: "Don't be like saying goodbye, early Climbing out is the kingly way."
"The emp bomb is placed in the roof of each jeep, and the detonation can cover about 2 square kilometers, just in case." Amber said as he walked past him. Gu Tie nodded.
The six core members of "Shiva" lined up in front of the Chernobyl "Ark" coffin.
"Friends," Barr glanced at his team members with a proud look, "Do you know what I want to say?"
"Destruction is auspicious!" Five team members of different nationalities and beliefs said together.
"Bless me with great comfort." Balvindra knocked his boots and led the team to the steel coffin in strides. Joe walked away in the opposite direction with the sniper rifle on his back, melted behind the wall like a shadow, and disappeared.
The conversation that took place on the encrypted frequency could not be heard by other people. The Ukrainian soldier stood with a gun and looked confused.
