Tired sunshine lingered on the sky of iron-colored clouds. The water vapor rising from the Hailan River was rolled up by the cold wave rushing from outside the Baishan Mountains. It became a cold blade, cutting through thousands of miles of black soil, passing through the vast wilderness, chasing Entering the hills and mountain valleys, the already cracked earth and rocks were cut into powder, roaring and swirling beside the clumps of serrated grass, the bent grass stems silently facing the direction of the ruts. In front of the rut, walking along the rugged mountain road that seemed to be shrouded in frost and fog, a misty fire gradually became brighter until it shone and danced in Tong's heart.
"Huff~Huff~" The short but heavy breathing echoed in Shen Sui's ears. According to the third-level chemical protection equipment standard, the FJ-30 gas mask can effectively filter medium and low-density radiation dust, and protect against chemicals such as hydrocyanic acid, Hazardous gases such as cyanogen chloride, hydrogen arsine, fire smoke, influenza viruses or general military poison gases. However, no one would like to wear this thing that weighs 1.5 kilograms with the filter tank and has insufficient air intake, but similarly, no one would go to the surface world without wearing this thing.
"Report, we have arrived at the entrance of the camp, requesting entry, over." Shen Sui turned his head to his right shoulder and spoke into the intercom like a roar.
The sound of the howling wind almost drowned out the sound of the intercom. Fortunately, Shen Sui could barely hear the intermittent answers. She exhaled and pulled the camping bag down with both hands to slightly reduce the load on her shoulders, which had been so sore for a long time.
Following the guidance of the lights, Shen Sui walked through the warning point with difficulty. He didn't even want to spend more effort to wave to the sentry, and pushed open the windproof door of the disinfection board room, which almost consumed his last ounce of energy.
The backpack fell to the ground with a bang. The sudden relief almost made Shen Sui feel unreal. He held his knees and gasped. The snow particles stuck to his boots melted and dripped, leaving deep water stains on the felt floor. .
Even though he had been working continuously in the wilderness for almost a whole day and was so tired that he couldn't help but want to retching as soon as he stopped, Shen Sui still had to squeeze out the last bit of strength left in his bones. Smashing his fist lightly on his knee, Shen Sui straightened his back with a low growl. A feeling of dizziness forced his fingertips to pinch his palm tightly, and the pain allowed him to stay awake.
Clean and disinfect.
Shen Sui took off his cold windbreaker, grabbed the corners of the clothes with both hands and shook them up and down. The cleaning compartment was suddenly filled with extremely fine dust. The pointer of the wrist-type radiation counter crossed an arc of no more and no less, hovering near the center line. Under Shen Sui's gaze, it crossed the center line.
18.5 mSv
Neither good nor bad, a common value in the no-man’s land in the suburbs of Montenegro City.
When the radiation dust settled, Shen Sui picked up his backpack and raised the next curtain of the wooden house. Standing on the gray-black industrial felt are a steam cabinet for dirty laundry, a mist disinfection room surrounded by iron sheets, and a box of portable drugs. This is the No. 912 non-permanent camp, now called the Black Mountain Observation Station No. 2. disinfection equipment.
The big iron kettle on the campfire whistled and flapped the lid. As soon as he opened the tent curtain, hot air hit his face. Shen Sui quickly took off his gas mask and wiped his sleeves against the fogged mirror. , when the water vapor and radioactive dust are wiped out,
While standing on tiptoes, he stepped over the team members who were curled up on the floor and smoking. He didn't have time to unload his backpack, so he took out the thermos bottle. Regardless of the high flames burning his arms, he picked up the iron kettle handle and continued to speak, and the boiling water went into the thermos. The water in the pot was mixed with the cool overnight water. Shen Sui tilted his neck and drank fiercely. He couldn't stop drinking. It took a long time before he let out a solid "Hey" from his throat. He refilled the kettle and then sat down with his hands on his knees.
Seeing Shen Sui sitting still, a guy with a black mole on his stork bone next to him picked up the empty cigarette box, flattened it and smashed it on Shen Sui's head, shouting: "Hey, you kid, have you disinfected it?" Where are you squatting?"
Shen Sui slightly narrowed his round eyes with raised canthus and didn't answer. He took the gas mask that slid to his waist, untied the straps, took out a gray cloth from the breast pocket of his coat, and wiped the mirror. Not stuffed into the mask tube. Instead, he unhurriedly took out a cardboard box with the words "Level 3 anti-radiation drugs" printed on it from another breast pocket, counted two pills, and swallowed them dryly into his stomach.
"Go outside and change your dirty clothes! You need to spray the area you've been in several times before it's clean!" Seeing that Shen Sui didn't move, the guy jumped up and kicked Shen Sui's leather boots several times.
Shen Sui shrugged the bridge of his nose, said "hum", half-opened his mouth, and muttered an incomprehensible "ho ho" - anyone who has been walking in the wild for a long time will look like this. He picked up the thermos flask, raised his palm and pressed it down.
"Oh, you don't understand? Why don't you just let it go and make this guy a poisonous person?" The guy suddenly became angry. He stood on one foot and kicked the sole of the heavy-tasseled boot with the other foot. He put his hands on his hips and blinked. Looking at the other team members who were huddled together and shouting to play cards, the rest were all huddled in their sleeping bags.
Seeing that Shen Sui was still indifferent after being stared at for a long time, this guy was simply helpless. He neither wanted to touch Shen Sui, who was now stained with radioactive dust, nor could he carry his duty equipment. Not to mention anything else, just those embedded protective The lead-lined plates everywhere are extremely heavy. After looking around, the guy gave a wry smile, picked up the purifying spray bottle in his bunk, and sprayed Shen Sui all over his face.
A pungent smell of disinfectant immediately spread in the tent, and the team members who were in the mood for playing cards soon started shouting.
"Okay, okay! Wang Xin! Stop fucking squirting!"
The short-headed king didn't stop spraying, and shouted: "This kid won't leave. If I don't clean him up, he will get radiation sickness. Do you blame him?!"...
There were two more "7"s of the same suit on the card pile, and the last player had a pair. The survey team leader Wang Cheng protected the cigarette with two fingers, took a deep breath, picked out the 9 of hearts and threw it out.
"Right 9!" Wang Cheng said, turning around and shouting at his younger brother Wang Xin, who was like a firefighter putting out a fire, popping out an unburned cigarette butt.
"That little radiation won't kill you!"
Wang Cheng threw out another 9 of diamonds, picked up the last man's cigarette, held it in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Stay here... Well, I don't want to take some radiation, I thought you were here, hiss~hu~, I thought I was protecting you In the place."
Xia Jia spread his hands to show that he would not follow, but then said: "This is it, you just spray it? This is Station 2, do you want to wear chemical protective clothing to sleep? Don't worry about it, let Shen Sui take a breath!" He is a new guy, so you should save your energy and guide him yourself!"
Wang Xin's face turned dark when he heard the crowding. He shook his hands and sprayed, and it didn't matter if he didn't spray. He cursed "moron" and finally sprayed himself several times, then lay down on the bunk and pulled himself down.
As for Shen Sui, as a newcomer who was reluctantly accepted by the survey team, he was even sent to the surface after a few weeks of basic training to supplement the surface observation station that was extremely short of manpower.
The surface was almost the same as he imagined, barren and lifeless, with only gray sunlight and lingering haze. Living conditions were extremely difficult, with long-term rotations among six surface observation posts that had been temporary fortresses for the pre-war army. Enjoying his freedom in the lingering radiation.
The only freedom he had was exchanged for the privilege of being underground.
Survey team leader Wang Cheng didn't make things difficult for Shen Sui. After playing the cards, he took the initiative to sit next to the exhausted Shen Sui and gently massaged his limbs. He knew very well how intense the wasteland work was. However, for the long journey to be carried out later, this fatigue is what newcomers must experience.
No one took the initiative to be assigned to the survey team. The conditions here are far more difficult than the compatriots underground can imagine. Wang Cheng knew the reason why the committee was still unwilling to transfer Shen Sui. This is nothing more than naturally wiping away everyone's last curiosity about the earth's surface. By torturing these remaining survey team members, they will tell the protection center the fact that there is no hope for the earth's surface.
There is indeed no hope on the surface.
Even in the suburbs of Montenegro where the defense is located, this area has not been directly hit by nuclear bombs. The air is also filled with toxins and radiation that have not dissipated for a century under the constant sea breeze. When you step out of the protective shelter, the result of not wearing airtight protective clothing is that your life span is reduced to less than five years. And the reason why he chose to stick to it was not because he loved the land with real sunshine, but because of his pure duty. The protection station needed someone to observe the toxicity of the surface, which involved the safety of underground water, and there was always a need for some hunters to discover nearby Supplies in the reserve.
This protective shelter is already very old, but it is like the patriarch of a big family. As long as he is alive, he can protect his children and grandchildren.
Seeing that Shen Sui had had enough of the cold wind, her mouth gradually
With his face flushed, Wang Cheng was doing some health care on his legs and neck and said, "Everyone is also concerned about you. Coming back with radiation is not good for anyone."...
"I know." Shen Sui said hoarsely.
"I'm just too tired."
"I'm tired, who isn't?"
Wang Cheng handed over a hot electrolyte drink. There were a lot of electrolyte powder reserves, all of which were military reserves.
"I think you have basically adapted. Take a good rest for a while. After a while, I will take you to the ruins of Montenegro University City."
After hearing about the university town, Shen Sui's gloomy eyes suddenly shone with surprise, and she quickly said, "Seriously?"
"I was planning to go there. There's something wrong with the machine down there. I'll go to the university town and see if there are any corresponding skill books left."
"But." Wang Cheng thought for a moment, patted the back of Shen Sui's head gently, and said, "It's a bit dangerous there, with strange animals roaming around. I know you are a book lover, so you must not be unable to walk by then, and..."
"This time we are going with guns."
"How is your spearman doing?"
In the previous basic training, Shen Sui destroyed hundreds of rounds of ammunition. Since she decided to stay in the survey team, Shen Sui's enthusiasm for learning has been unprecedentedly high. The rifle was in good shape, and the easier pistol was already accurate, so Shen Sui hurriedly said: "No problem!"
"Okay, in three days, I will take you to the university town."
"Look at how college students in the past lived."
