Chapter 230 A Question
Apart from the howling wind, the scene was completely silent.
After an unknown amount of time, it was Steward Wang who broke the silence.
"Alright, the risks near the passage have been resolved, but the guard team still needs to work a little harder to clear out all the zombies within a 5-kilometer radius!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the soldiers stood up straight, saluted respectfully to Chief Steward Wang, and then replied in unison.
"yes!"
Soon, the captains of each squad led their soldiers and dispersed in all directions.
Wang Bahu's expression was very solemn, and he did not utter a word.
He seemed lost in thought, but after giving his older brother a long look, he turned and left.
He also belonged to the guard team, so naturally he had to obey Chief Steward Wang's arrangements.
The work that followed was much simpler. Most of the zombies on the perimeter were scattered, so the rest could be left to the guard team.
Han Shuo didn't linger any longer and turned to lead everyone back.
"Let's go back first and talk about it then."
Just then, the voice of Steward Wang came from behind.
"Hey, hey, hey? You little fatty, stop for a second."
Little Fatty?
Han Shuo was a little confused, unsure of who was being called.
But the next second, he found out.
Because he saw Steward Wang walking towards him.
Looking for Fatty?
Just as Han Shuo had expected, Steward Wang stopped in front of the fat man.
"Oh, Steward Wang, do you have any instructions for me?"
The fat man bowed and scraped, asking with a grin.
Steward Wang casually tore off his filthy clothes and then spoke with a smile.
"Hey chubby, can I borrow your shirt?"
"ah?"
The fat man stood there, stunned.
“I’m going to stay here for a while longer. My clothes are too dirty. Anyway, you’re going back soon. Little Fatty, you’re about the same size as me, so I should be able to fit into your clothes.”
"Damn, why are so many people looking for me? I was only wearing one layer!"
The fat man cursed inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged. He respectfully took off his shirt and handed it to Steward Wang.
"Manager Wang, here you go. Oh dear, I have plenty of clothes, so you don't need to return them."
Manager Wang smiled and nodded as he accepted the clothes, then put on clean ones.
"Alright, it's all over, you can go back now."
"yes."
Han Shuo quickly agreed and led the fat man and the others into the passage.
Watching the group's retreating figures, Steward Wang muttered something to himself.
"Bald? This is the first time someone has dared to call me that..."
These words were naturally overheard by Han Shuo and the others.
The fat man froze for two seconds, then, shirtless, strode away without looking back.
Han Shuo, Xiao Zhao, and the others forced themselves to suppress their laughter, remaining silent.
"No wonder, no wonder so many people wanted the fat man's clothes."
"It turns out that during the battle, he overheard the nickname the fat guy gave him from afar."
"Fatty, Fatty... Manager Wang has sharp ears, serves you right for being so cheeky, serves you right for not having clothes to wear..."
...
Not long after Han Shuo entered the passage, he saw Cheng Shenghong and the others at the corner.
At this moment, there was no one else here but them.
Cheng Shenghong hurriedly came forward and said.
"Brother Han, we've come to say goodbye. I'm taking my brothers out to search for supplies soon."
Han Shuo did not expect Cheng Shenghong and the others to be in such a hurry.
"Brother Yao Nan, why don't you wait a few more days? You saw the weather outside just now; it would be good to observe for a couple more days."
Cheng Shenghong shook his head, his mind already made up.
"No, Brother Han, Wang Bahu is not making a move right now. We can't miss this opportunity."
"Well, that's true."
Han Shuo sighed and did not try to persuade him. At this moment, all he could do was offer a word of blessing.
"Well then, Brother Demon, we'll take our leave now. Please take care of yourselves!"
"Definitely! Brother Han! Take care!"
Cheng Shenghong made a fist-and-palm gesture to Han Shuo, then, without wasting any more time, turned around and got into the car with his men.
"Brother Yao Nan, have a safe journey. Fifth brother, remember to bring me back some good stuff if you find anything."
"Be careful!"
"Come back alive!"
...
After spending some time together, Fatty, Xiao Zhao, Li Shurou, and the others developed a good relationship with Cheng Shenghong and his group.
The group waved goodbye and watched their ally leave.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The three cars started their engines and quickly disappeared on the other side of the passage.
No one expected that, after a year, on the day the underground research institute reopened, Cheng Shenghong would become the first person to go out to search for supplies.
"Alright, let's go back, let's go back..."
Han Shuo waved and led the five people back to their residence.
Upon entering, everyone was in a rather unpleasant mood.
Today, they have seen firsthand the harsh conditions outside.
The fat man complained angrily, "I really don't understand why the weather outside has changed so much in just one year."
"It's just a nuclear bomb, why does it have such a huge impact?"
Han Shuo had considered this problem on the day of the nuclear explosion, but he did not expect that nuclear radiation would change the external environment and climate.
He offered a casual explanation.
"Fatty, you can't just look at one aspect of a situation. You have to consider the chain reaction after the nuclear explosion."
"Chain reaction? What do you mean?" the fat man asked, frowning.
Before Han Shuo could speak, Li Shurou gave a detailed analysis.
"A chain reaction could ignite nuclear reactors in other locations!"
"I remember hearing about an accident before, where a nuclear reactor at a nuclear power plant in a country exploded."
After saying this, Han Shuo vaguely seemed to have seen this news before.
This happened decades ago, and he couldn't quite remember the details.
Fatty and Xiao Zhao also gathered around, listening curiously.
Li Shurou pondered for a moment, recalling the incident in her mind as she recounted it to everyone.
"At the time, the nuclear radiation dose from that disaster was said to be more than 400 times that of an atomic bomb!"
"Just think about it, the explosion of a single nuclear reactor can have such terrifying consequences."
"So, how many nuclear power plants and nuclear energy factories did that country, which was completely destroyed by a nuclear bomb a year ago, have?"
"When all the nuclear reactors in a country explode, the resulting disaster will be absolutely catastrophic."
She paused, then continued.
"What appears to be the explosion of a single nuclear bomb actually releases a radiation dose comparable to that of thousands or even tens of thousands of nuclear bombs..."
"Therefore, the current situation outside is understandable..."
