191. Chapter 191 A sudden change



The sound of waves hitting the rocks is still ringing in my ears.

Gino Peruzzi, who was doing research with a team on a deserted island in the Pacific, did not follow everyone but stood alone on the shore.

The sadness was palpable.

He can be said to be an expert in nuclear radiation. This time he was invited by an environmental protection organization to a small island in the central Pacific to assist in scientific research.

But the news on the radio made him feel confused.

“There are always people who have no respect for it all.”

Peruz looked at the endless sea in the distance with a confused look on his face, and a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.

Is it really useful that I have been traveling around the world and setting up various organizations to monitor the development of nuclear energy?

As he thought, his obviously thinning white hair fluttered in the salty and humid sea breeze.

Seagulls flew across the sky in the distance.

Peruz's thoughts couldn't help but drift away.

Perhaps the greatest lesson humanity has learned from history is that humanity never learns from history.

Peruz never thought that someone would take the initiative to discharge nuclear wastewater into the sea. Such an action is simply disregarding the safety of billions of lives of all mankind.

Others may have forgotten.

But he will never forget that day.

A 30-meter-high column of fire lifted the outer shell of the reactor, and super-strong radiation airflow sprayed into the air. High-energy radiation particles formed a huge column of light that shot straight into the sky.

The deafening bang in 1986 forced a country riddled with problems to sacrifice countless lives.

Countless ghostly ultra-high intensity radiation particles mercilessly penetrated their flesh and blood! In this largest nuclear disaster in human history, there are lies and death, pain and separation, but also dedication and fearlessness.

In the end, an expensive concrete sarcophagus covered the No. 4 reactor, the leakage of radioactive material was blocked, and humanity's largest nuclear disaster came to a difficult end.

As a participant in the cleanup of the accident, Peruzzi lived a long and healthier life than other survivors.

This is both fortunate and unfortunate.

Fortunately, he lived to be almost 60 years old in good health. The radiation did not seem to have left any traces on his body except for some hair loss.

His entire style is completely different from those of the other survivors of the accident.

But unfortunately, now he is sixty years old, and he is tortured by mental pain all day long.

Those companions who rushed to the disaster center together.

Or it would have rotted right in front of him.

Or they would die painfully one after another in the few years they survived, leaving him with nothing but watching his friends pass away through the glass of the isolation medical room.

This was tormenting for Peruz.

So, he tried his best to participate in various nuclear energy development events.

As a volunteer, using his meager strength to supervise the development of human nuclear energy became his way of relieving pain.

But when he established various organizations of all sizes in various places, when he gradually thought that his efforts over the past few decades had paid off...

But reality slapped him in the face.

A certain country simply disregards the interests of mankind, does not care about social condemnation, and does not pay any attention to the protests of a small individual like him on the Internet.

They resolutely chose to discharge nuclear wastewater into the sea just to save some costs for treating it.

Such behavior will inevitably have unknown and far-reaching impacts on human society as a whole.

Thinking of what he heard in the news today, in which an official said, "If you come to their country, you must eat ten snails from the ocean with nuclear waste water," Peruz was so angry that he wanted to tear that bastard's mouth apart.

If the emissions continue like this, it will be unclear who will eat whom.

It’s a pity that no matter how angry Peruz was, it would not have any impact on the matter.

Looking at the still relatively blue sea in the distance, Peruz understood that it would soon be filled with nuclear radiation due to the influence of monsoons and ocean currents, or in other words, the sea area here had actually been affected.

After all, the deserted Pacific island where Peruz is currently located is facing the direction of nuclear wastewater discharge and will be the first stop affected by radiation.

And the spread of such radiation will not stop and may reach every corner of the world through the circulation of matter in nature.

Back then, they sacrificed countless lives to stop the spread of nuclear disasters around the world, but this country casually started such spread again.

For Pandora's Box.

They had no reverence at all.

"well……"

With a long sigh, Peruz turned and walked towards his cabin.

Perhaps, I can temporarily stop working on nuclear energy control?

No! The dead souls whispered in his ears that he must not give in.

As soon as the thought of giving up came to mind, Peruz rejected it without hesitation.

In silence, Peruz closed the door of the cabin.

First he turned off the radio that was broadcasting the frowning news, and then he began to quietly pack his clothes and luggage.

The reason he came to this area was that he followed a new environmental protection organization in California to investigate the environment of this coastal forest and study how much human activities had affected this uninhabited Pacific island.

Looking back now, all this seems unnecessary, as the greatest and most terrifying impact on humanity has already arrived.

He planned to leave here as soon as possible, use the connections he had made over the years to quickly mobilize a ship to pick him up, and then go to the country that discharged the nuclear wastewater and try to make his final effort and struggle.

No matter how small his power is!

As for the members of the American California environmental protection organization who are conducting in-depth scientific research in the jungle on the island, Peruz plans to say goodbye after they return.

Thinking of this, Peruz packed his luggage faster.

But at this moment.

There was a knock on the cabin door.

Peruz raised his eyebrows. There was no laughter of the lively young girls in the team outside as usual. It seemed that the team that was busy with scientific research in the island's forests had not returned.

After a moment's silence, Peruz opened the wooden door.

There was only one person standing in front of him, and that was the captain of this environmental protection team - Solomon Burke.

He graduated from an Ivy League university, held important positions in several environmental organizations in North America, and often participated in volunteer activities to protect the environment.

"Why are you back alone, Mr. Burke?"

Peruz narrowed his eyes and asked subconsciously.

During these days of getting along, he felt that Solomon Burke was an extremely responsible captain. This time, when he personally led the team to conduct scientific research on a deserted island in the Pacific, he was very careful and excellent in every aspect.

Whether it is the identification of wild plants or the driving away of wild animals; whether it is the various skills displayed when camping or the physical strength without panting when carrying large and small bags...

Excellent in every aspect.

At this time of normal time, Captain Burke should be staying with the main force to provide escort and ensure the smooth progress of scientific research and the safety of personnel.

Logically speaking, he should not easily leave the many team members in the jungle and suddenly come to him, a member who is staying safely on the beach.

"I have something to say to you, Senior."

"I wonder if you're interested in hanging out with me, Senior?"

Burke smiled politely.

There was such a polite smile on that sturdy body, and it didn't look weird at all.

The so-called senior he was referring to was naturally Peruz.

Hearing this, Peruz frowned, then nodded and walked out of the cabin.

After closing the door of the cabin, Peruz followed Burke out of the campsite.

The two of them remained silent along the way.

When they reached the coastline, Burke stopped and looked at Peruz.

Looking at the old man who had rushed towards the center of the disaster against the crowd, Burke had a respectful and serious expression on his face.

"Senior, were you packing your luggage just now?"

"Yes, I plan to tell you after you finish your work today. I will contact the ship as soon as possible and leave within two days."

"Regarding the radiation change measurement work that I need to do, I will complete it within these few days."

Peruz had nothing to hide and decisively admitted the fact that he was leaving.

There are some things he must try.

Otherwise, he won't be able to sleep peacefully even in his dreams.

"Are you going to that island country?"

Burke looked at Peruz who was in front of him with a serious expression and spoke slowly.

Peruz was shocked at first when he heard this, and then he nodded in sudden realization.

The other party knew that he was a participant in the cleanup of the disaster, and also knew that he had been working for nuclear energy control for half his life.

When thinking about this in light of recent international news, it’s not surprising to guess his purpose.

"Yes, no matter what the result is, I must give it a try."

Peruz's tone was particularly firm.

Such a firm tone, just as firm as when he rushed into the radiation zone.

"Well, maybe you need a helper."

"Or rather, our organization needs experienced help from you."

Burke said this.

This is exactly why he came here today.

And this sentence also made Peruz stunned.

"You want to help me?"

"wrong……"

"You need my help?"

Peruz was a little confused and didn't know what Burke meant by these words.

Who is helping whom? "What I mean is..."

"We now have a common purpose, and we need professionals like you to join us."

Burke then began to explain.

This explanation finally made Peruz in front of him react.

"Are you, the Blue Planet Environmental Protection Organization, also going to speak out about this nuclear wastewater incident?"

Peruz's eyes lit up.

One more person naturally means more strength, so cooperation is naturally possible at this moment.

With public opinion overwhelmingly in favor... maybe we can put some pressure on the officials of that island nation? "No, it's not just the Blue Planet Environmental Protection Organization that wants to cooperate with you."

"There are also many environmental organizations such as Friends of the Earth, The Nature Conservancy, Greenpeace, the Western European Youth for Ecological Protection, the Wold Conservation Alliance, the Green Party, the United Nations Environment Programme, etc."

"In addition, there are many organizations with international influence, such as the World Health Organization, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Oceania Cooperation Organization, the International Science Organization, and the Oceania Convention Organization."

"Many major countries will also work together."

Burke called out a long list of names, which obviously stunned Peruz in front of him.

Each of the organizations mentioned in this statement is much larger than the various small organizations related to nuclear energy control that he has been working hard to promote and establish for half his life.

Each of them has international influence, unlike him who can only give speeches in small cities.

With so many organizations speaking out together, public opinion is no longer just one-sided.

But it is the real trend and power suppression.

Peruz felt he saw hope of successfully stopping the country from continuing to discharge nuclear wastewater.

only……

"You, can represent the will of so many organizations?"

Peruz couldn't help but wonder.

Humans have always been good at infighting.

Even when faced with a situation that concerns the interests of all mankind, it is difficult to get everyone to clench their fists and work together.

"Now let's get to know each other formally again."

"My name is Solomon Burke, and I am one of the first official members of Everday. Currently, I serve as a key figure in various environmental protection organizations under the North American branch."

"I have just received a mission to invite you to become a peripheral member of our Everday."

"With us here, you don't need to worry about the general trend oppressing that country, and you don't need to worry too much about punishing those who do wrong."

"You need to do what you did before, and help us deal with matters related to the nuclear disaster that has already occurred. With the assistance of some of our methods, your workload and the degree of danger will not be too great."

As Solomon Burke spoke, he inadvertently straightened his chest, apparently subconsciously revealing his pride in his identity.

Hearing this, Peruz swallowed.

He didn't know what eternal daylight was, but judging from the current conversation, the eternal daylight that Burke mentioned seemed to be a huge thing.

It is the entity behind many environmental organizations.

It is an existence that enables major countries to put aside their past grudges and join forces.

Burke seemed to have no doubt about the future where nuclear wastewater discharges could be easily stopped because of the so-called eternal day.

And it seems to have the ability to easily deal with the nuclear contamination that has already been caused.

Burke even lightly said that those senior officials of a country who made the decision to discharge nuclear wastewater would be punished.

No matter how you look at it, this Everday is a super organization beyond his imagination.

Peruz is no fool.

But he believed that Burke, who had performed extremely well these days, was not a fool.

More importantly, he would rather believe that such an organization really exists.

So, he decided to believe in the existence of this organization.

And he accepted Burke's invitation and became an outer member of Everday.

But just as he was about to speak.

A loud sound of waves crashing came from the sea in the distance.

Peruz looked in the direction of the sound and couldn't help but widen his eyes. He pointed at the sea and said subconsciously: "Does the follow-up incident of nuclear pollution that we are assisting you in handling include this situation?"

Burke, who also looked in the direction of the voice, remained silent.

I saw a tail on the sea slowly sinking into the sea, creating waves.

It was a huge tail with a row of horn spikes, more than a hundred meters long.

A faint blue light flickered on each of the triangular horns, and it looked extremely dangerous.

Soon, the entire tail was submerged in the sea.

The sea surface gradually calmed down amidst ripples.

It's as if nothing ever happened.

Burke swallowed and looked at Peruz who was still in a daze, realizing that his original plan of not telling him about the extraordinary existence might have to be slightly modified.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

Instead, he immediately reported the existence of this Godzilla-like monster!
