Xiao Shan and her group sneaked into the nuclear waste conveying port of the nuclear power plant's large smokestack under the cover of night.
After taking out a flashlight to confirm the location, Xiao Shan nodded to Shen Hu and the others: "This is it!"
"Okay! Little Shan, you can come in after we go in and make sure it's safe!"
Xiao Shan looked at Shen Hu, feeling an indescribable excitement.
"Brother Tiger, you guys really need to be careful!"
Shen Hu waved his hand dismissively: "Don't worry! We mutants react incredibly fast! Big guy, take the men in!"
The burly man next to her grinned at Xiao Shan, then immediately pulled out a grappling hook, twirled it in the air, and hooked it onto the iron frame above.
Then the big guy tested the sturdiness, nodded to the person next to him, and then grabbed the rope and began to climb up quickly.
Once at the top, the big guy stood firm and lowered the rope ladder from his waist, then threw it down. One by one, the others pulled themselves up using the rope ladder.
After Xiaoshan went up last, Da Ge turned on his headlamp and began to crawl towards the dark conveyor.
The conveyor opening was just the right size to accommodate one person. The big guy, being so large, struggled to squeeze in, and the others followed one by one.
The further you go in, the larger the space becomes, and countless fans are constantly spinning all around, seemingly to lower the temperature of the nuclear waste.
Finally, when everyone arrived at an open space, the area opened up.
The surrounding area was filled with countless nuclear waste stored in lead drums, which were obviously discarded materials from the laboratory and temporarily stored here.
After searching the vicinity for a while, Shen Hu finally found a place that had been sealed off with lead plates.
"Here! This looks like the entrance!"
Xiao Shan hurried over and sure enough, there was a thick wall in front of her that felt like metal to the touch.
"Be careful, there might be unprocessed nuclear waste inside!"
The big guy patted his chest: "Don't worry, Sister Shan, we're all mutants, so nuclear radiation won't affect us!"
Xiao Shan nodded: "Let's still be careful!"
So everyone took out portable welding torches and began melting the lead plates in front of them.
Soon, the lead plate began to melt slowly under the high temperature of the casting process.
The puddles of black liquid on the ground were all lead plates.
Inside, an assistant wearing glasses was checking whether all the entrances and exits were completely sealed off.
When the last entrance and exit were blocked, the assistant was still a little uneasy and took out a blueprint to look at it again.
Suddenly, he noticed something amiss in an inconspicuous spot, so he frowned, pointed there, and asked the engineer standing nearby.
Where is this place?
The engineer adjusted his glasses and glanced around: "Oh, this is where the nuclear waste from the nuclear reactor is stored!"
"Is this area under lockdown?"
The engineer smiled and said, "Secretary Liu, there's no need to make a fuss. It's full of extremely high-heat dye piles and a lot of radiation. If they weren't stupid, they wouldn't go in! Don't worry!"
However, Secretary Liu still dared not be careless, after all, they had reached the most critical step of the experiment. If something went wrong at this point, he would be out of a job as secretary if he was blamed.
"No! Take me there right now! Bring tools and steel plates, and seal that place off!"
The engineer could only nod helplessly, then led the exhausted group to carry the heavy steel plate toward the nuclear waste exit.
Meanwhile, the big guys, covered in sweat, continued to melt and cast the lead plate door with their welding torches.
"Tiger Bro, it's getting hotter and hotter!"
Shen Hu stood behind him, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, looking at the radiation detection instrument in his hand, and said, "It's hot, that's for sure! How could it not be hot! Of course it'll get hot when you're using a dozen welding torches at the same time! It's alright! Don't worry about it! When we get back, I'll get you some ice water to take a bath!"
The big guy wiped the sweat from his brow, grinned, and continued working.
Shen Hu, holding a cigarette, looked at the pile of lead plates that had already been cut open and was somewhat speechless: "Was it really necessary to make it this thick? It's ridiculous!"
After saying that, Shen Hu stuffed the radiation monitoring instrument in his hand into his pocket and prepared to stub out his cigarette.
Just then, a painful scream suddenly came from the big guy in the distance.
Shen Hu immediately threw down his cigarette butt and ran over: "What's wrong, Big Guy?"
A large hole had been completely melted and cast in the lead plate. The reason it took so long to melt and cast was that people discovered that there was not only a lead plate inside, but also a high-temperature resistant protective layer.
Right inside that large hole, a burst of scorching flames erupted out. Big Guy hadn't been paying attention and was instantly burned on his cheek by the extremely high temperature of the flames.
"Big Guy! Big Guy! How are you?" Shen Hu called out anxiously, seeing that Big Guy's face was burned black, and some parts of his skin had even turned into charcoal.
Blood kept gushing from the big guy's mouth, and he collapsed into Shen Hu's arms as if trying to make a sound.
"Big guy! Big guy!"
Finally, without uttering a single complete word, Big Guy tilted his head to the side and died in Shen Hu's arms.
"Holy shit! Everything Company!"
Shen Hu hysterically hugged Da Ge and screamed, but it was no use; Da Ge had already stopped breathing.
Tears welled in Xiao Shan's eyes as she watched the radiation monitor in her hand, whose readings had instantly spiked tens of thousands of times, turning the entire monitor a bright red.
