Chapter 85 Radiation Storm
Whether you are prepared or not, are you willing or not.
Time continues to flow as usual.
The sky gradually turned from the darkness of the day to the darkness of the evening.
In the forecast, the time node where the radiation storm may arrive at the earliest is quietly coming.
And a quarter of an hour later.
Just as everyone who held their breath and was waiting for the impact was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
The purple sky light that had gradually sparse in the past ten hours.
Suddenly, it burst out hundreds of times brighter than before.
The whole sky.
For a moment, it seemed to be occupied by a layer of purple halo.
It looks vast and magnificent.
At the same time.
All radiation detectors arranged on the surface emit sharp alarms.
They detected the radiation values ??that appeared on the surface, soaring upwards at an incredible rate.
It quickly exceeded the security limit and then continued to grow dozens and hundreds of times.
"Here you."
This is the news that makes everyone who pays close attention sank.
Just one quarter of an hour later than the earliest predicted time is almost no extra time for preparation.
All refuges that are lucky and do not take timely prevention will continue to swallow the bitter fruits of insufficient preparations from this moment on.
And to make up for this mistake.
Perhaps there will be many people who will be plagued by cancer and even the price of their lives.
Jianghe City Urban District.
Outside a small personal shelter.
Several young men wore simple thermal insulation suits with oxygen cylinders and opened the heavy door of the shelter.
The rolling heat waves brushed through the less tight insulation they wrapped, making them feel a slight discomfort.
But soon.
This strange feeling is replaced by excitement.
"Look, I didn''t lie to you."
“How beautiful the sky outside.”
"It''s better than the aurora I saw in Antarctica."
The leading young man was proud.
Since I have discovered a change in the sky through the camera outside not long ago.
It took him a lot of effort to persuade others to agree to open the shelter door.
Now it seems that it''s all worth it.
If you miss the opportunity to witness such a magnificent scenery, you may be in regret for the rest of your life.
His friends had no objection at this time.
They were all immersed in the dreamy purple light that was illuminated by the ground.
"It would be great if the temperature could be lower."
“It must be a great time to have some chilled beer and snacks here.”
A friend who spoke with a little regretful expression.
Just standing and watching, there is no appreciation of eating and drinking, and the experience is profound. Just think about it with cold beer and take a bite of the barbecue with sauce—
Thinking of this, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he felt a little urge to vomit.
Subconsciously closing his mouth, he tried hard to suppress the slight discomfort in his body.
Raise your head and let your eyes reflect the aurora in the sky through the mask.
Such a rare opportunity to go out, you can''t act disappointed.
Let''s talk about everything until you go back.
Behind him, the metal door of the shelter reflected a faint light. Like a tombstone lost in the wilderness.
Official shelter No. 9.
A certain residential gathering area.
"Old Zhao, are you really going?" "I heard from others that there is a serious radiation outside."
"Going out will be bad for your health and may also get cancer."
A middle-aged woman looked at her husband who was about to go out with some anxiety.
There was deep concern in my eyes.
“That’s about the situation of no protection.”
“We have radiation-proof clothing from shelter.”
"There are special rest stations for surface work within a few hundred meters."
“There won’t be any problem.”
Zhao Haihua comforted his wife. He actually had some doubts in his heart, but this doubt was soon replaced by helplessness.
"When you go to the ground to work, you will be paid three times the reward and you can also buy some medicines."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
"Hasn''t Yuanyuan been having a headache lately and can''t sleep?"
"You are also a little anemia and need to make up for it."
"There is also a little more food. It is said that after a while, the daily distribution amount will be reduced."
The middle-aged man was talking nonsense.
After moving into the shelter, he always saw the embarrassment of his family. Now that he has the opportunity to improve, he must hold on to it no matter what.
"But if something happens-"
The middle-aged woman had a little choked in her tone. She also felt a little sorry for her child and wanted him to live a better life. But, thinking about it again, if my man died on the surface of the earth, the sky would probably collapse.
"You just think too much."
"I''ll only stay for three days in total, what big thing can happen."
Zhao Haihua was about to continue saying something when a rapid ringtone suddenly rang outside.
That''s the managers urging them to come and gather.
He stopped the follow-up words that had not been said yet and patted his wife on the shoulder comfortably.
Everything you want to say is reduced to one sentence.
"Wait for me to come back."
Half an hour later.
A group of workers wearing radiation-proof clothing made of thermal insulation and metal fibers left Sanctuary No. 9 on a modified bus. I entered a world covered by purple sky light, a magnificent and dreamy world.
Being near them.
On the transportation network not far away.
There are still many different vehicles driving in a constant stream.
However, compared with more than half an hour ago, the chances of these vehicles passing through the surface of the road were significantly higher.
From time to time, you can see a car that is inexplicably shutting down, stopping on the road or simply hitting an obstacle on the side of the road.
A sudden radiation storm.
In their own way, they are constantly eliminating the human beings who appear on the surface who cannot adapt to its existence.
The ruins of the farmyard.
The second floor of the underground shelter.
A brightly lit control center.
With the arrival of the radiation storm, Su Wu laid 10 kilometers around the shelter, reaching the monitoring network deep in the mountainous areas 40 kilometers away.
Finally started to really work.
Send back the latest changes in the environment continuously.
That''s why.
In the entire Jianghe City, in addition to the official shelter.
He is the first person to understand the overall situation of the city.
Based on artificial intelligence''s deduction and modeling of these environmental data.
The most severe radiation has been proven to appear in a certain area in the mountainous area, reaching 20 millimeters per second.
In other words, if humans stay there without protection, they will be at risk of death after at most three or four minutes.
It is relatively better within the urban area, but it is generally not allowed to move for more than half an hour.
