Chapter 1163 Great Evacuation
Before dawn, the passenger buses were already lined up on the road beside the Yanov train station, one next to the other, stretching for a full 20 kilometers. From a distance, they looked like a long queue.
However, for some unknown reason, the official did not organize an evacuation immediately after dawn. Instead, they began to broadcast continuously through the town's radio, asking all citizens to stay in their residences and not to leave. At the same time, they also reminded people to close their doors and windows. A group of health workers were distributing potassium iodide tablets everywhere. Because of the shortage of manpower, they also recruited a group of female high school students to help.
Representatives of businesses and organizations in the town were summoned together, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs explained the evacuation details to them in the DW Building.
Many people find it hard to believe. Although many people felt unwell and left Pripyat with their families yesterday, more people chose to stay because in their opinion, the sky in Pripyat was still the same as before. It was sunny and blue, and the river was also very clear. Except for the vague metallic smell in the air, everything looked the same as usual. How could the situation develop to the point of sudden evacuation? And experts are vague about when they will return.
Therefore, a lot of disputes broke out at the meeting, but in the end, representatives of companies and organizations chose to obey DW's arrangements and jointly assisted in this evacuation operation involving the entire city.
The official time for evacuation was set at two o'clock in the afternoon. Although Berdorf had already dispatched 1,100 transport vehicles from Kiev and other places in advance, for the remaining residents of Pripyat, these more than 1,000 transport vehicles The cars are far from enough to take away all their belongings, and the government will not allow them to take away things that have been contaminated by radiation.
Therefore, the radio broadcast at noon told the residents who were still in the city that the evacuation was only temporary in nature and would last about two to three days. They would be back soon, so there was no need to carry too many things. Officials recommend that only a small amount of daily necessities is enough, and pets such as cats and dogs are not allowed in the car.
Most people did this, packing some change and a change of clothes in plastic bags. This was all their luggage. Although the atmosphere in the town was already very tense at this time, no one thought that this would be them. Say goodbye to your beloved home forever.
The vast majority of people choose to believe the official statement and are optimistic that they will be able to return in a few days. In their view, this cannot even be said to be a bad thing, because on the other hand, it also relieves them from their busy work schedule. It was a relief, and three days was almost equivalent to a small vacation.
Some children even jumped up with excitement. Despite the militiamen's repeated persuasion, some people still came downstairs in advance to talk to their neighbors. Some women even wore only thin pajamas and didn't even bring their bankbooks. Because the radio said that as long as the doors and windows were locked, the militiamen would help them take care of the property in the house to ensure that no thieves would get in.
As soon as the time came, buses drove in one after another; in Pripyat, they stopped under different residential buildings. The militiamen kept urging people to move faster. There were also a few minor chaos during the period, but they were all very fast. After being calmed down, the car started again, carrying a car full of people towards an unknown distance.
Behind the car, there were many cats and dogs. They seemed to be aware of their fate of being abandoned by their owners. They ran and barked behind the car, and even tried to force themselves onto the car, but they failed. Although some owners opened the car windows despite being dissuaded, they could only look at their pets with tears in their eyes, call their names, and say goodbye to them. Because of the government's ban, these pets could not leave with their owners.
In the end, the cats and dogs got tired of running and could only stand on the roadside, watching their owners go away, their eyes full of sadness.
Zhang Heng also heard the barking of dogs from the street not far away. He was now in the town gym with Zhanfu Boy, Kui Ye, Mouse and Bessonova. The gym was closed on the afternoon of the 26th. , but the door lock above couldn't stop the iron wire in the hands of the young boy. There was no one else here, and there was a sealed room, which was suitable for them to use as a stronghold.
The doctor and the maintenance man left at almost dawn. Although Zhang Heng's last suggestion made them a little worried, they decided to leave according to the original plan after discussion, because they really could not imagine the danger of leaving here. And their language barrier is now partly resolved.
Because the Pripyat Grand Hotel occasionally receives some foreign guests, there are also people in the hotel who can speak English. Although it is only at a relatively elementary level, which is probably equivalent to elementary school students in future generations, it still solves the problem of doctors and doctors to a certain extent. The maintenance workers were in urgent need, so they hijacked the English-speaking waiter before leaving to act as a translator for them, so that they would not understand everything.
Everyone also divided the supplies they had collected earlier according to their heads. Not only food and protective equipment, the doctor also left some sedatives and antipyretics for Zhang Heng and others. Although the two sides had had some disputes about the next step of action before. It was a pleasant argument, but in the end the breakup was relatively harmonious. After dividing the things, the doctor and the maintenance man merged into the traffic in the newly stolen car and drove out of Pripyat.
Although the seven players have only known each other for less than two days, they have experienced this crisis together and have established some relationships, especially after they just lost coconuts, and then the maintenance workers and doctors also chose to leave. Now there are only four people left in the team. People, and the task still has no solution, which still makes the remaining people a little frustrated.
But what needs to be done still needs to be done.
After a brief lunch, Mr. Kui suggested that he first investigate the pilot responsible for transporting sand to the reactor. After all, neither the miner nor the engineer who went down to open the drain valve were still there because the authorities had not yet carried out the investigation. Action, Sherbina is the first person on the list, but his status is quite special.
It's not impossible to sneak into his room and question him like they did with Konvitz, but it might not be easy to deal with the aftermath afterwards. Therefore, the players still tend to push back the investigation on him slightly. In this way, the pilot is They were relatively good candidates for investigation. They risked being exposed to radiation and flew over the reactor again and again to drop sand to extinguish the fire. They obviously played a big role in this disaster relief.
