Chapter 755 Seriously Excessive Radiation

Thinking of this possibility, Qi Lin couldn't help raising his vigilance again.

This place already belongs to the hinterland of the main brain's control area. He must be extremely careful, and his whereabouts will be exposed if he is not careful...

Qi Lin himself is not sure whether the main brain has discovered him as an infiltrator. According to the report, Cheng Yanqiu's team was followed all the way by a small flying insect equipped with a miniature camera, and they were under the control of the main brain almost all the way. Under surveillance, this will be surrounded by a large number of snakes unknowingly.

Although Qi Lin has not seen such things as small flying insects, who knows if there are so many pebbles on the river beach, one or a few of them happen to be camouflaged monitoring equipment?

Since this area has been cleaned by the mastermind, it is entirely possible to leave something behind.

Qi Lin took a few deep breaths. If there was one, then he could only accept his fate—"It's a blessing or a disaster, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided." Although this saying sounds superstitious, it is very inconsistent with modern The core values ​​of socialism, but in fact this sentence interprets a very famous psychological effect "Murphy's Law" in a popular way.

"If there's a chance that things could get worse, no matter how small that possibility is, it's going to happen."

A bad thing, the more you worry about it, the more likely it is to happen.

And how do people deal with this seemingly very pessimistic "Murphy's Law"? It's very simple, that is, we must prepare for the worst in everything, and make the most perfect solution when doing our best.

Going along the river beach is the "best solution" chosen by Qi Lin.

On the right side of the river beach is a large open area, walking on it is like ants crawling on white tiles, it is extremely conspicuous. As for the left side of the river beach, it is a wide riverbed that has dried up. The name of this river is Minjiang River , the average depth is about 20 meters. Even if it has dried up now, the bottom of the river bed is still more than ten meters lower than the two sides. Although the river bank can be used as a cover, if any emergency happens, the choice left to Qi Lin will be very serious. limited.

On the other hand, the side of the river beach is full of jagged stones, some of which can cover Qi Lin's whole body. Qi Lin keeps walking between these boulders, and uses these cover to quickly approach Looking at the ruins of the city ahead.

The large-caliber assault rifle and Gauss sniper rifle are all loaded, and the Gauss rifle has been fully charged in advance. Although failing to shoot in time after recharging will cause serious loss of durability of the Gauss weapon's coil, Qi Lin obviously doesn't care about such things at this time.

Now that he has prepared for the worst, Qi Lin assumes that he has been discovered by the mastermind, and he must prepare for a fierce battle afterwards.

Qi Lin continued to approach the city ruins. At this time, he was less than two kilometers away from the edge of the city ruins. Not only did no biochemical monsters mentioned in those reports appear, Qi Lin even made a normal movement Neither heard.

As Gao Hong said, the surroundings of the ruins of LS City have completely turned into dead silence, not even a bug can be found.

In this extreme silence, Qi Lin only felt that the slight sound of the soles of his boots rubbing against the ground seemed to be amplified countless times, and it sounded very harsh. What also made him feel a little irritable was his own How could the sound of breathing and heartbeat that could not be covered up.

This place is like the island where Davy Jones imprisoned Jack Sparrow. This island is called "the end of the world" by pirates. Here, there is no alternation of day and night, no sound, no wind. , and there is no living creature other than himself... Even after Jack Sparrow saw the crew members who came to rescue him, he almost thought that they were hallucinations produced by him.

This is simply the creepiest prison in the world... The scariest thing is not death, but endless loneliness.

However, the outskirts of the ruins of LS City do have several similarities with the "End of the World" in the movie.

Dead silence, absolute silence, even the most desolate desert in Africa has never given Qi Lin this feeling. Here, the shrubs and weeds seem to be gray, without a trace of life.

The only difference is probably the sky. At the end of the world is a blue sky with no clouds, but here, the sky is covered with lead gray clouds, and the sunlight is almost completely blocked on the clouds. Faint rays of light can fall to the ground after many refractions and reflections.

It's only four o'clock in the afternoon now, and the sky has already vaguely revealed a scene of "black clouds overwhelm the city and threaten to destroy it".

Being in such a depressing environment, Qi Lin couldn't help but have the idea of ​​wanting to use the guns in his hand to sweep them all around, but he also clearly understood that this kind of meaningless venting would only give him cause more trouble.

keep going.

Qi Lin's speed is not too fast. Every ten meters he runs, he will use the high-power scope on the Gauss sniper rifle to observe the city ruins and the surrounding scene. It can be said that he is extremely cautious.

His eagle eye skill has the same function, and even the effect is better than the high-power scope with effective field of view, but Qi Lin's mental power is consumed to open the eagle eye. Before encountering a situation, he must carefully calculate any power ground use.

But soon, Qi Lin discovered something unusual.

This abnormality was not what he saw or heard, but it was sensed by the concentrated energy vortex.

The radiation intensity in this area... is really too high, and every step closer to the ruins of the city, the radiation intensity will increase by a small amount.

This radiation intensity... is really too high.

Before Qi Lin heard Gao Hong say that there was high-intensity radiation inside the ruins of the city, he didn't pay much attention to it. According to the information obtained by the organization, a dirty bomb was indeed dropped in a place more than 100 kilometers north of LS City. So it is completely natural that there is radiation in LS City, but the radiation now obviously does not come from that dirty bomb.

Whether it is Cheng Yanqiu's team or the subsequent recovery troops, they have all entered the ruins of LS City. According to their reports, the radiation intensity in this area is as high as the sky, and it is only about level 4. This level 4 is converted into "Wasteland Survival" The data in the "Code" is in the early twenties, and the radiation value of many ruins is above this figure, but those scavengers still dare to enter these areas to scaveng without protection.

In an area with a radiation intensity of 20 points, if humans stay in it for no more than 30 minutes, there will be no serious problems, at most they will feel a little uncomfortable, and the radiation accumulated in the body will also disappear after leaving the radiation area. Slowly diluted and diluted - of course, the premise is that they no longer enter the radiation area, like the kind of scavengers who stay in the radiation area for more than an hour every day, most of them have only two endings.

One is suffering from all kinds of radiation sickness, the condition is getting worse and worse, and finally died or committed suicide in extreme pain; the other is self-adaptive evolution, obtaining a certain amount of radiation resistance, and being able to freely Walk through the low-intensity radiation zone.

After all, this is a virtual game world. In the early days of the game, there were still many scavengers who dared to enter this kind of radiation area... After all, in their opinion, it is quite very important to exchange a life in the game for a chance to make a fortune. It’s a good deal, anyway, everyone will give three chances of resurrection. Instead of starving to death and freezing to death, it’s better to give it a try. Bicycles become motorcycles, and motorcycles become...

The level 4 radiation area in the real world can only be regarded as a lightly polluted area. Members of Cheng Yanqiu’s team and the recovery team only need to take anti-radiation drugs regularly and quantitatively, and do not eat radiation-contaminated food or drink polluted water at will. , staying in a level 4 radiation area for a week or two is not a problem at all.

It's just... What Qi Lin feels now is not the intensity of a level 4 radiation area at all, but level 9!

What kind of concept is a level 9 radiation area? This is equivalent to the radiation intensity of around 75-80 in the "Wasteland Survival Code", a completely severe radiation area!

This kind of place, let alone those unprotected scavengers, even players who are fully armed, wearing protective clothing, and taking anti-radiation medicine, absolutely dare not stay in this kind of place.

Every time you inhale the air in this heavily irradiated area, it’s like pouring boiling water into your lungs. As long as the human skin is slightly exposed, a series of symptoms such as redness, blisters, and peeling will immediately appear.

Level 9 radiation area... It is no exaggeration to say that even at the explosion point of the dirty bomb, this level of radiation intensity can be maintained for the first half a year... But now, four years have passed since the original war. time of year!

In four years, even if LS City suffered a dirty bomb, the radiation intensity in the city center would never exceed 50.

Could it be that the mastermind detonated another dirty bomb here not long ago?

Such an unbelievable idea suddenly popped into Qi Lin's mind.

But soon, he vetoed this idea himself.

The Mastermind does not have the authority to manufacture, hold and use strategic nuclear weapons... This order is the core program written in the deepest part of the Mastermind chip together with the Mastermind's first law. There are still a large number of nuclear warheads stored, and the mastermind will never use these nuclear warheads. The most it can do is to collect these nuclear warheads and destroy them in a unified manner.

As for a dirty bomb, no matter how small its yield is, it definitely belongs to the category of strategic nuclear weapons. The name is an extremely "dirty" weapon. The power caused by a dirty bomb explosion is not great, but a city destroyed by a dirty bomb will be a piece of wasteland that cannot be used in the next few decades , even the side that launched the dirty bomb has nothing to do about it.

If the nuclear bomb is to destroy human beings, then the dirty bomb is to destroy the living environment of human beings.

After a dirty bomb explodes, the radiation intensity on the surface will drop to about 40-50 within one to two years, but after this level, the decline will become very slow, because all the radiation has been absorbed by the surface. Absorbed by the soil, if you want to completely dissipate the radiation pollution of this land, without artificial purification, it will be absolutely impossible for hundreds of years.

It is impossible for the mastermind to have a dirty bomb, nor is it possible to detonate a dirty bomb in the ruins of LS City.

So... this intense radiation is very intriguing.

"Could it be that the nuclear power plant built by the Mastermind itself has leaked?" Qi Lin pondered. He is not allowed to manufacture, possess and use strategic nuclear weapons, but the Mastermind has the right to use nuclear energy for energy and scientific research. At the same time, like " Small tactical nuclear warheads like "Fat Man" are also not included in this restriction.

Qi Lin thought about it for a while. If he was the mastermind, he could take advantage of the loopholes in the underlying instructions to "passively" transform some non-strategic nuclear facilities into strategic nuclear weapons—for example, turning hundreds of Detonate several "fat nuclear bombs" together, or put dozens of large reactors together and overload them crazily... No one dares to say that the disaster caused by these two situations must be worse than one nuclear bomb. strategic nuclear warhead.

It's just... To increase the radiation intensity in the environment to this level, obviously one or two strategic nuclear warheads is absolutely impossible, and a simple nuclear power plant leak is even more impossible, unless every house in the ruins of LS City Both are stuffed with spent fuel rods.

The energy-gathering vortex is still spinning rapidly, happily absorbing the abundant radiant energy floating in the air, but Qi Lin's face is becoming more and more serious... There must be a demon if something goes wrong, not to mention, it is so Outrageously abnormal!

Qi Lin had the urge to turn around and leave, but he thought that Cheng Yanqiu might be behind the ruins of the city, but he couldn't give up this action no matter what.

etc!

Qi Lin was shocked suddenly. If Cheng Yanqiu was still in the ruins of the city, such high-intensity radiation...

He is still more than a kilometer away from the edge of the city ruins, and the radiation intensity has already risen to 80 points. Doesn't the interior of the city ruins have to have more than 100 points? !

For a normal human being, it can almost be regarded as an absolute place of death, even with protective clothing and anti-radiation medicine, it is useless, this intensity of radiation can easily penetrate the metal under the rubber layer The net penetrates into the human body and destroys all the tissues in the human body in a very short period of time... Unless Qi Lin has an evolved physique such as radiation resistance, he can move freely in such a place.

And Qi Lin clearly remembered that Cheng Yanqiu did not have this ability!

Today is also a single update, a 4,000-word chapter. By the way, everyone likes 2,100 chapters and 2 updates, but 4,001 chapters have only one update? (I won't tell you about chapter merging because I'm too lazy to think of chapter names..)
