After he finished speaking, everyone present fell silent for a second.
"Did our Young Master Su really say that?" Ma Dongmei gave him a teasing look.
Su Zheng's ears turned red, and a resolute look appeared on his young and handsome face. "I felt quite embarrassed last time at the Armed Police Hospital. You, a young girl, dared to barge into Qinhuai City to look for someone, while I hesitated and looked back and forth. I wasn't like a man at all."
"If there is indeed a nuclear leak at the Tengfei base, the subsequent handling will require a lot of manpower and resources, and these K3 bases are willing to cooperate with you to provide them."
He sincerely extended his right hand to Lu Sheng, "This matter also concerns the survival of K3. If one of us is gone, the other will be in danger. We are all located downstream of the Tengfei Base. If something really happens, no one can escape."
Lu Sheng took out half of the three-proof suit and the gas mask as an answer.
If the nuclear leak at the Tengfei base is too large, Lu Sheng and her team alone cannot handle it; a large number of personnel will be needed to cover up the leak and treat the wastewater.
And Su Zheng wasn't wrong.
Lu Sheng and his group could simply relocate to another place temporarily, but the tens of thousands of people at the K3 base couldn't be moved around so easily.
"When do we set off?" Ma Dongmei weighed the protective suit in her hand, her eyebrows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
Military NBC protective suits sacrifice comfort and convenience to ensure safety, and a single suit can weigh up to 20 pounds.
If you want to move around in this outfit, you'll need at least a while to get used to it.
"Half a day to prepare, we'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."
Lu Sheng decisively said this and turned around to call Sun Tiantian and the others to get up and leave.
The bighead carp jumping out of the river lately have been getting more and more outrageous; if this continues, who knows what kind of monster will emerge.
When the group returned to the base, Xu Yi and Han Rui were just coming out of the cabin where Lin Xiaoduo lived.
"How is she?" Lu Sheng glanced at the pale-faced figure inside the room out of the corner of his eye.
Lin Xiaoduo's hair had almost all fallen out, and her once bright and charming features now looked like diluted clay, hanging limply on her face.
She was completely different from the lively and adorable little girl she used to be, which was heartbreaking to see.
Xu Yi lowered his eyes slightly behind his glasses. "There is no danger to his life, but most of the mucous membrane cells in his body have died. It will take a long time to recover."
"At least there's still hope for recovery, which is already considered lucky," Xiao Yu remarked from the side.
Nuclear radiation is extremely deadly. Given the rate at which Lin Xiaoduo's cells died, she would probably be lying dead in the wilderness by now if she hadn't met Lu Sheng and Xu Yi.
Lu Sheng glanced at the haggard girl on the bed, then picked out a few more bottles of medicine from his spatial storage and placed them on the table.
Just as she was about to instruct the zombie security guards to help Lin Xiaoduo take her medicine on time, a familiar electronic voice suddenly sounded in the system.
[Beep - Host detected to be exposed to excessive radiation]
To protect the host's health, the system store has added a new item: anti-radiation medicine.
[Priced at 9999 points, one potion provides three days of protection]
[Radiation protection effectiveness up to 99% (the figure is for accuracy only; the actual effectiveness may be 100%)]
Lu Sheng: "..."
I want to hit someone. I really want to.
Is this system a newly installed 2G network in the village?!
Is the latency really that high?
If she had just given them this earlier, why would she have gone to all that trouble to get protective suits from so far away?
If she had been given even half an hour earlier, she would have given all the protective suits to K3!
[Friendly reminder: Please maintain a calm and stable mindset.]
[Your mind is already quite twisted, so please make sure you're physically healthy!]
Lu Sheng: "..."
Is there an option to manually destroy the system? I need help urgently!
Lu Sheng opened the online store in a huff, her anger escalating further.
This anti-radiation medication is rationed! Only ten bottles can be purchased per day!
The entire base, including people, cats, dogs, pigs, and sunflowers, is just enough to feed ten people!
There's absolutely nothing superfluous!
With a resentful tap of her little hand, Lu Sheng generously collected all the anti-radiation medications.
Buy it! You'd be a fool not to buy it!
...
The next morning, before setting off, Lu Sheng gave each of them a bottle of medicine, and left the rest for Zhuangzhuang to distribute among the three little ones.
"I used to believe in science, but now I'm starting to believe in metaphysics."
After Lu Sheng explained the effects of the potion, Zhang Xiaojuan was so surprised she could hardly close her mouth. "I wouldn't be surprised if you pulled out two magic pills from your pocket next time."
However, not having to wear the NBC protective suit is a good thing, as carrying those heavy loads of dozens of kilograms severely restricts movement and vision.
After arriving at the K3 base and meeting up with Su Zheng and his team, the two groups proceeded upstream along the riverbank.
Every now and then, strange fish with swollen bodies would leap out of the river and land on the hood of the engine with a slapping sound.
Some of the cars that rolled under the wheels were crushed and immediately released a stench; the nauseating smell could be detected even through the car door.
The Tengfei base is about a 3-hour drive from K3. When they were about a third of the way there, Xu Yi's radiation detector once again turned into a screaming chicken.
The beeping sounds continued incessantly.
"It has exceeded the threshold that the human body can withstand." Xu Yi adjusted his glasses.
From this moment forward, every step forward brings you one step closer to death.
Lu Sheng frowned slightly and jumped out of the car to block the K3 convoy.
When I landed, my feet felt soft, like I was walking on cotton. Each step left a footprint a few centimeters deep in the ground.
"Hey boss, why did you stop?" The bespectacled guy poked his head out of the car window and asked with a smile.
"From this point on, all of you must wear protective suits and masks. The nuclear radiation levels have exceeded the safe limits."
