Plague Doctor

When the first explosion occurred in the mutated area, Lou Xiaoning and other detection personnel were not far outside the dividing line. They were all wearing heavy nuclear radiation protective suits, but they were still rushed out by a huge air wave generated by the explosion. A few meters away, it almost flew away. As soon as everyone recovered, they ran outside.

But they experienced it with their own eyes. There was no flame or any clear dark power during the explosion, as if it came out of thin air.

It was as if a plastic bag contained more and more gas, and finally exploded with a bang, and then the gas spread to a larger plastic bag.

After the explosion, the area of ​​the abnormality area increased to about 30,000 square meters, which was an increase of 100 times. The radiation dose measured by an unmanned detector was 13.7 gyh, which was more than doubled. This explosion only took about four hours from the time Tian Fuhou got up at about 6:15.

The second explosion occurred at 16:03 that afternoon, six hours after the last explosion.

The explosion was even more shocking. After the explosion, the area of ​​the abnormality area was about 3 million square meters, or 3 square kilometers, which was also expanded by 100 times. The radiation dose was 25.2gyh.

By this time, Tian Fuhou's forest farm had been completely destroyed, as had a large area around the forest farm. The land had become scorched black and the air was full of radiation.

Those trees that had been planted for decades, such as pine trees, locust trees, and poplar trees, all cracked and died quickly, disappearing one after another.

In front of the screen in the command center, people were heartbroken to see that the old couple Tian Fuhou and Zhang Maidong had worked hard for decades to have these hundreds of acres of forest land that had been converted from desert. Now they were swallowed up by the abyss and turned completely into forest land. A piece of even more desolate and scorched land.

When the last tree in the forest disappeared and the explosion did not occur, one of their assumptions was shattered.

It's not just that all the trees in the mutated area disappear, there will be an explosion and expansion.

But what happened to those trees? Are living creatures more affected by the pull of space? What are the conditions that cause regional expansion, and how to slow it down and stop it?

More than 10 hours later, at 2:18 a.m. on March 15, the third explosion occurred.

The area of ​​the mutation area this time has only expanded 10 times, but it has reached about 30 square kilometers, and the radiation dose was 30.6 gyh.

This village, Beixun Village, is all over.

Fortunately, no casualties have been caused. All people in the village have already been evacuated, as have pets, poultry and other animals, as well as all wild animals that can be evacuated. Nuclear radiation can cause genetic mutations. If these animals are allowed to stay inside, mutated organisms, viruses, bacteria, etc. may breed.

In Maerwan District, which has six towns including Yunlin Town, the entire evacuation work has been carried out urgently for a long time.

But this mutated area is expanding rapidly, from 300 square meters to 30 square kilometers in less than a day, an increase of 100,000 times.

If this speed is allowed to develop, the entire Mobei will become a wasteland in one day, and the entire territory will be destroyed in less than a week.

Although nuclear radiation is nothing to worry about, when the Mobei Tianji Bureau first received a call from the Yunlin Town Police Station, they did not expect that the situation would deteriorate so quickly. Now the country has raised this matter to the highest level and issued a fatal order from above to prevent the mutated area from continuing to expand.

In fact, no one needs to give orders, everyone understands this mission.

Legionnaires' disease can also isolate the epidemic area and delay the spread of the germ; however, once an explosion occurs in this mutated area, it will expand instantly and nuclear radiation will appear instantly, and no one can escape. Even if we evacuate, we can't complete it so quickly, and in the end, where can we evacuate to?

The goa concentric team and multiple mobile task forces have been dispatched, and the Tianji Bureau has put its greatest strength into Mobei.

A number of Goa member states are also providing emergency support. Regardless of whether the mutated area will eventually spread to their borders, radioactive materials will float in the wind and pollute water sources. Once the area becomes large enough and the radiation becomes able to escape, it will also destroy the world.

During the period from the accident to the third explosion, the Tianji Bureau did not sit still and tried a variety of methods.

They tried placing some old Seal Stone Towns on the border, and also tried launching missiles to bomb the mutated areas, but with no obvious effect, and the second explosion came.

Later, they tried to treat the abnormal area as a leaking nuclear reactor, and used helicopters to drop boric acid from the sky to block nuclear radiation.

But the third explosion came.

"Why did it take 10 hours this time and it only expanded 10 times?"

In the headquarters command center, Tong Ye and other commanders, researchers, and nuclear engineers will not take this change lightly. The expansion speed seems to have slowed down! Is it because of the boric acid? Or is it that the larger the mutated area is, the slower it expands?

There is another situation worth noting, trees.

From the beginning to after the first explosion, the mutated area was limited to Tian Fuhou's forest farm, so the area was full of trees.

But after the second explosion, forest farms only accounted for about one-half of the 3 square kilometers, and the rest was almost all wasteland, with not even a single weed.

"Let's try to think of this mutated area as a living body." Tong Ye thought of this idea again, "Some rituals are also like living bodies, which need to be sacrificed, devoured, and grown. Then will this area need these? Flowers, trees, and other living creatures expand faster the more they eat, and vice versa.”

This is a hypothesis, but it is also the only possibility that can be imagined and countermeasures are available.

Under this uncertain situation, the action of spreading boric acid into the mutated area continued, and at the same time, personnel were dispatched to destroy the plants around the area first.

The 10 kilometers around the area are designated as an "isolation circle". All trees in the isolation circle are cut down and transported away, and flowers, grass and other plants are burned in situ.

The isolation circle was not drawn too large first, because we were in a hurry, and secondly, there was another possibility. The desolate environment would actually encourage the expansion of the mutated area.

The trees in the area will become inaccessible. This has been confirmed by the rover and the mouse, so the command center did not send a large number of personnel in and make unnecessary sacrifices. With a radiation dose of 30.6 gyh, even staying there for just one minute will cause damage to the body.

But under this situation, the Goa Concentric Team is preparing to send people into the mutated area to conduct sensory exploration for 5 minutes.

At the same time, the results came out from the Energy Research Institute. Tong Ye and Yao Shinian looked at the results and didn't know what it meant.

The radioactive material in the abnormality area is not from the nuclear reactor, but from a nuclear explosion, a nuclear explosion with a very large yield.

But the location of the nuclear explosion cannot be there.

Love the Plague Doctor.
