Chapter 1157 Emergency Situation
Zhang Heng slept until about eight o'clock in the evening. The sky outside the window had darkened. There were obviously more vehicles on the street downstairs than during the day, and almost all of them were heading outside the city. They There was a long queue, blocking the road, and vehicles continued to join along the way.
Although there has been no official evacuation announcement until now, more and more people are choosing to leave Pripyat. In fact, the school has announced the suspension of classes in the afternoon and requires students to stay indoors after going home. However, Just now, the hotel sent people to the rooms to inform them that all hotel services, including the restaurant, are as usual and will not be affected.
However, the seven players did not dare to eat the freshly baked bread and sausages. Although they looked very delicious, Zhang Heng and others chose to nibble on the portable food in the packaging bags and only used the hotel kettle to boil two bottles of mineral water. Drink water.
Eight forty.
Zhang Heng took over from the previous doctor on duty and sat in the lobby of the Pripyat Hotel. He picked up a newspaper, but he was actually observing people entering and leaving the door.
According to the front desk of the hotel, the occupancy rate of the Grand Hotel Pripyat is currently more than half. The guests are mainly tourists and business trips. There are also a small number of foreign guests who come here to appreciate this modern atomic city. .
It can be seen that the residents are also a little worried about the current situation. Some are already considering whether to leave early, but some have decided to continue staying.
Zhang Heng saw a group of people walking in from outside around 10:15. There were more than 20 of them. Everyone was wearing suits and leather shoes. Some of them were wearing military uniforms. They were surrounded by a short man with strong steps. Entered the hotel.
When the waiter saw the group of people, he hurried up to greet them, but before he could say a few words, he was interrupted by the short man in the middle. He waved his hand impatiently, and the waiter immediately became silent and did not dare to say anything more. The front man quickly led them to a nearby restaurant.
It seemed that the chef had been notified in advance and had already prepared the meal. However, it had been left for a while and the temperature had dropped. The most important thing was that a lot of radioactive dust had fallen on it, but the group of people didn't seem to notice it. At this point, everyone had their own food, then found a seat and started to devour it. There was almost no conversation throughout the whole process. It was obvious that they were all a little worried, and many of them looked tired.
Zhang Heng knew that he had finally waited for the rightful owner.
Although he has not met those people on the committee, the dress and behavior of the group in front of him are almost impossible except for the committee members and experts who have just arrived in Pripyat, and the short man in the middle Not surprisingly, it was Sherbina, the chairman of the accident committee.
According to what Bryukhanov said before, this little man is a serious and rigid person with strong control. There is no room for bargaining on any orders he gives. This is why Bryukhanov is so afraid of him. The reason is that until now the director of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant still insists on the theory that the water tank exploded.
However, the experts who were the first to arrive had already realized how serious the situation was. After eating, they split into two groups. Shcherbina and the other two people got into the elevator, but the remaining people did not go back to their rooms. He actually turned around and left the hotel.
Zhang Heng hesitated for half a second, then stood up from his seat and followed Sherbina with the newspaper.
Because if nothing else, the people who left would go back to work, and Sherbina and the other two might take a rest first. However, after entering the elevator, Zhang Heng saw Sherbina directly pressing the button on the top floor. button.
After that, Zhang Heng chose the floor below. When the elevator arrived, Zhang Heng held up the newspaper and left the elevator car. He took three steps to confirm that the people in the elevator car could no longer see his position, and then immediately ran to the safe passage at a high speed, along the Take the stairs of the safe passage to the top floor of the hotel.
Zhang Heng glanced in the direction of the corridor. Sherbina and the other three walked out of it. However, they did not go to any room. Instead, they followed the fire escape to the rooftop of the hotel, where a helicopter had already arrived. Waiting for them.
Although Shcherbina had been persuaded by experts in previous meetings to agree to the evacuation, he still wanted to go to the site to see the real situation of the reactor for himself.
Zhang Heng also didn't expect that the committee would only have a quick dinner after such a long trip back to the hotel, and then go back to their own business without even returning to the room to rest. However, Zhang Heng was not in a hurry. He knew that sooner or later those people would They came back to sleep, and they all got the keys to their respective rooms when they had dinner, and asked the waiter to transport their luggage to the house first. In other words, they could now find Konvitz's room from the waiter.
So Zhang Heng came to Coconut's room and was about to call her to continue translating and discuss with Bessonova how to get the room number. However, he didn't expect that there was no response after knocking on the door.
Zhang Heng frowned. Among the players, only Coconut and the maintenance worker lived alone. It was not ruled out that she was sleeping at the moment and did not hear the knock on the door, so Zhang Heng increased his intensity. As a result, the room next door The door opened first, and the maintenance man stuck his head out and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There is no movement in Coconut's house." Zhang Heng said.
"What a troublesome woman, should you ask the boy to open the door?" the maintenance man muttered. He was deeply impressed by the lively wire of the boy.
"No, this kind of lock is very simple and I can open it." Zhang Heng said. He checked the door lock the first time he checked in. Now he is familiar with opening the lock. However, before entering the door, Zhang Heng still rushed inside. He shouted, "We're coming in."
After saying that, he opened the door, but as soon as he stepped in, he smelled the sour smell of vomit.
Then Zhang Heng took out the mask and put it on. He walked into the room and saw the coconut lying on the ground. Her whole face was now red. Zhang Heng touched her forehead and found that it was shockingly hot. She must have been in the room. She had a high fever and passed out due to the fever. Perhaps the only good thing was that she hadn't eaten much before, which prevented her from choking on her own vomit.
Zhang Heng looked back at the dumbfounded maintenance workers behind him, "Why are you still standing there? Go call the doctor."
