The jeep stopped. The shock from reality made Gu Tieruo feel something in the game. He put down the fork in his hand and said: "It is indeed a very delicious barbecue. I will rest now and talk to you tomorrow, guys." He waved to his friends,
Climb into your bed and close your eyes.
With his consciousness withdrawn from the distant virtual world, Gu Tie opened his eyes and saw the jeep parked in front of a checkpoint. The Italians were negotiating with the sentries outside through the cab window.
"This is a pass, a permission order issued by the Ministry of Defense. The truck behind is the escort sent by General Vladimir Igri." Joe said in Ukrainian with a strong nasal accent. The sentry took the pass and inspected it carefully. A Ukrainian
The officer walked out of the guard box and observed the situation inside the jeep through the car window.
"Sir, this is my work ID and pass." National Security Council official Alexander came from behind and showed his ID to the officer, "They are observers of the United Nations and their status is completely legal. I have been ordered to accompany the team. I hope you can provide some convenience.
"
"But these equipment..." The Ukrainian officer hesitated and knocked on the car window. There was a large amount of arms and unknown professional equipment piled 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 understand what these Americans are here for, but at least I can assure you that they are not here to start World War III. Even if they are
If it really triggers World War III, I also guarantee in the name of the National Security Council that this paragraph will not appear on your resume."
"Okay. A group of people similar to yours came in when I was on duty half a month ago, and they didn't cause me any trouble. But you know, I have to report to my superiors." The lieutenant nodded and signaled to the sentry to let them go.
The red light flashes, the railing rises slowly, behind the guard post, inside the barbed wire fence, the P02 highway leads straight to the horizon. There are poplar trees and apple trees laden with red fruits growing on the roadside. It looks peaceful and peaceful, if not for the bright radiation from the barbed wire fence.
Danger sign, no one knows that they are 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 there anyone living in the radiation zone?"
"Yes." The blond woman replied, "According to statistics from the Ukrainian government in 2033, there are about 3,000 people living illegally in the radiation zone. Most of them are the offspring of evacuated local residents who sneaked back into the radiation zone to give birth."
"The radiation from the surface should be very weak."
"Yes, below 0.1 millisieverts, if we enter in a vehicle for a short time like we did, the exposure will not exceed one X-ray inspection. But the entire ecosystem of the radiation area has been permanently changed, such as the wild apples on the roadside.
You definitely don't want to taste it." The Russian beauty stuck out her tongue.
At this time, Balvendra's voice came from the intercom: "Guys, put on your coats. Professor Tariq said that the amount of radiation on the inner surface of the 'Ark' will reach 800 microsieverts."
Amber leaned forward and took out several people's equipment backpacks from the trunk. Gu Tie awkwardly took off his coat in the back seat, took off his self-defense pistol, put on the one-piece chemical protective suit, zipped up the back, fastened the mask, and tightened the gasket.
With a tight ring, there was a chirping sound, and the dazzling orange chemical protective suit inflated.
Gu Tie fixed the satellite receiver on the multi-functional base on his shoulder and inserted the Kruger self-defense pistol into the left front pocket of the chemical protective suit. Suddenly he remembered the M1911 pistol in his coat, and took out the pistol and inserted it into the right front pocket.
I patted my pocket and felt like a nouveau riche.
"The high-pressure air tank can maintain oxygen supply for 7 hours. There is a countdown timer on the lower right corner of the mask. Pay attention." Barr's voice came. Gu Tie knew that this was for him who had never participated in simulation training, so he agreed.
Aunt Sula put on her chemical protective suit and performed a vehicle-changing position with Joe. The jeep flew steadily at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour.
Gu Tie was very interested in this housewife-like aunt and asked Amber: "Can Aunt Sula use weapons?"
Amber showed an incredible expression of surprise through the transparent polymer mask: "You really don't know anything about 'Shiva', do you?"
"I knew that Dad was a strange Indian who didn't like to eat curry and loved chips and fried fish." Gu Tie's face turned red.
"Aunt Sula is..." As soon as Amber started talking, Barr intervened and interrupted: "There is no time to chat. We will arrive at the destination in eight minutes. Now check the equipment."
Everyone lowered their heads to inspect their equipment. Aunt Sula held the steering wheel with her left hand and picked up an ADO-12 automatic shotgun with her right hand. With a few clicks, she completed the work of disassembling, loading and resetting the drum with one hand. Sniper Joe
He quickly assembled a rotating bolt-action sniper rifle with a fairly long barrel. Gu Tie could not recognize the model of it, but its appearance was very similar to the Mosin Nagant sniper rifle that terrified the German army during the Battle of Stalingrad.
"Damn, it's an antique, it's over a hundred years old. Pretending is a crime!" Gu Tie muttered, watching the Italian pull the bolt of the gun, select a bullet from the ammunition bag, take a breath, and carefully load it.
warehouse.
"Kupachi." Amber said. Gu Tie followed her gaze and looked out the window, only seeing a slightly raised hill.
"Kupachi Village was completely buried after the accident because of too strong radiation." The blond woman sighed, "My grandmother was a resident here."
Gu Tie didn't know what to say, so he fell 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. The all-terrain tires of the jeep ran over and cracked
The cement pavement, the dilapidated residential buildings looked at the rude outsiders with their empty windows, the roar of the engine echoed in the dead city, and a flock of frightened birds flew up as they flapped their wings.
"complete."
"complete."
"complete."
"complete."
"complete."
The team members reported their preparations one after another. Barr agreed and suddenly joked: "Tie, your identity with the general is that of a wealthy Chinese businessman with eccentricities. We will pass by a school in half a minute. If necessary, we can stay for five days."
Minutes, giving you time to find the loot."
"Go play for fun." Gu Tie said angrily.
Sure enough, the convoy passed by a school. The four-story school building had completely collapsed, and the remaining graffiti on the wall looked a bit gloomy. Gu Tie curled his lips and said, "Barr, do you see that comedy is short-lived and tragedy is eternal? You
What do you want to do with the things dug 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 area.
Chimneys and cooling towers pass by the car window. Since Units 1 to 3 were actually shut down completely in 2000, the nuclear power plant's buildings and equipment are in pretty good condition.
Passing through the Unit 3 building complex, a huge gray arched building stands on the horizon ahead. As the motorcade approaches, the steel structure "Ark" becomes taller and taller.
Aunt Sula walked around a section of the wall 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 car doors, and their military boots stepped on the land that was defiled by the nuclear devil 70 years ago.
Above, ten Ukrainian soldiers have obviously never performed similar missions, with expressions of curiosity and fear.
Gu Tie looked at the monument. The monument was a pair of marble palms holding up the nuclear symbol. It looked quite small against the background of the "Ark" corrugated steel structure.
Barr stepped forward and patted Gu Tie on the shoulder: "Tie, you and the soldiers are outside, do your job well, and leave us alone. Qiao will hide and protect you."
"I know, be careful." Gu Tie touched Barr gently with his mask and wished him good luck.
Wearing chemical protective suits and carrying weapons and equipment, Aunt Sula, Joe, Timpani, Professor Tariq, and Amber came up one after another to shake hands with Gu Tie. Gu Tie curled his lips and said, "Don't make it sound like you're saying goodbye. Climb out early."
It’s the royal way.”
"EMP bombs are placed in the roof of each jeep. When detonated at the same time, they 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 steel coffin of Chernobyl's "Ark".
"Partners," 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 in unison.
"God bless me." Balvendra knocked his leather boots on the ground and led the team members to strode towards the steel coffin. Joe walked away in the opposite direction with his sniper rifle on his back, melting behind the wall like a shadow and disappearing.
The conversation that took place on the encrypted frequency could not be heard by others. The Ukrainian soldiers stood there with guns in hand, looking confused.
