Chapter 177 Reactor Abnormality

"There are still people alive in the living area?"

The RV's tires ran over a zombie again, and Han Feng found a man on the balcony of a villa about 60 meters away from them, waving a white shirt at the RV, as if asking for help.

Wang Tang in the RV was surprised when he saw the man's appearance, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "He is still alive!"

"Oh? Do you know the man asking for help on the balcony?"

Han Feng turned his head and showed an inquiring look after hearing Wang Tang's exclamation.

"The man on the balcony is called Du Yuwen. Although he is not an employee of the nuclear power plant, he is the grandson of Du Weiliang, the chief engineer of the nuclear power plant. The senior officials in the camp are all his uncles. Saving him may help find nuclear fuel rods."

After Wang Tang said this, Han Feng also understood Du Yuwen's origins.

Considering Du Yuwen's identity, Han Feng still took some time to rescue him and his girlfriend Liu Yuer into the RV.

"Thank you for saving us. Thank you so much."

Du Yuwen, who had just stepped into the RV, couldn't wait to express his gratitude to Han Feng, while Ning Xueru took over Liu Yuer, who looked extremely weak.

After Du Yuwen walked into the RV, Wang Tang stood up, stood in front of him, and said, "Du Yuwen, do you still recognize me?"

"You are...?" Du Yuwen looked at Wang Tang's dark skin and felt that the man in front of him was a little familiar. After about two seconds, a name suddenly jumped into his mind.

"You are Brother Wang. I remember that last summer vacation, you arranged for someone to take me to a nearby island for a trip." After recognizing Wang Tang, he grabbed his hand as if he had found an organization, and said in a hurried tone: "Brother Wang, you are here to save us, right? Are we going to leave next?"

Listening to Du Yuwen's words, Wang Tang smiled awkwardly, then pointed at Han Feng and said: "I am only responsible for leading the way. This brother Han is the leader of this operation. We will go deeper into the park and enter the work area later."

"What! You still want to enter the work area!"

When Du Yuwen learned that the RV had to move forward, his face changed slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end. After all, there was still a glimmer of hope in the car. If he got off now, it would be tantamount to suicide.

When Han Feng picked up Du Yuwen and Liu Yuer, the young couple, and headed towards the nuclear power plant work area, Qin Cai, who had just gone to check the cause of the abnormal increase in the reactor temperature, appeared in the central control room with sweat all over his head.

"Chief Engineer Du, we have found the reason for the abnormal rise in reactor temperature."

Du Weiliang saw Qin Cai running with sweat all over his head and out of breath, and knew that things might be in trouble. His expression gradually became serious, and he asked in a deep voice: "What is the reason for the rise in reactor temperature?"

The other researchers sitting in the central control room also pricked up their ears at this moment. Once there is a problem with the reactor, it will really be a matter of life and death.

"According to the test results, the coolant in the reactor has been exhausted, which will cause the abnormal rise in reactor temperature. The core temperature of the nuclear reactor has reached 1,900 degrees, approaching the melting point of the zirconium-tin alloy that wraps the nuclear fuel rods. Once the temperature in the reactor reaches the melting point of 2,000 degrees of the zirconium-tin alloy, the nuclear fuel in the nuclear fuel rods will leak."

The situation of the reactor described by Qin Cai made all the staff in the central control room stand up.

They did not expect that the situation over there was so serious.

According to the situation reported by Qin Cai, they are now sitting on a crater that may erupt at any time.

"Don't worry, is there really no coolant in the work area?"

At the critical moment, the veteran Du Weiliang was still calm. He turned his head and asked Zhao Jiade, the energy director.

Zhao Jiade sighed: "Chief Engineer Du, we have been using the materials originally stored in the work area for the past few months. Now the stock of all materials has been reduced to the bottom, including coolant."

"I estimate that at present, only the warehouse for storing materials in the entire nuclear power plant will have coolant reserves."

Energy director Zhao Jiade also knew the situation in the work area very well. At present, he was also a good cook without rice.

After learning that there was no coolant in stock in the work area, Du Weiliang frowned tightly.

After waiting for a while, he raised his head and asked the staff standing around: "Is it possible for us to organize a group of volunteers to go to the material warehouse and get a batch of coolant back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the staff who were originally standing beside him showed difficulty on their faces, and the scene became extremely quiet.

After a silence of about ten seconds in the entire central control room, Qin Cai spoke first.

"Chief Engineer Du, it's not that everyone is unwilling to sacrifice, but your idea is to let everyone die in vain."

"The zombies in the working area of ​​the nuclear power plant have not been completely dealt with yet. Everyone only dares to walk on fixed routes. Those remote places are not dared to go at all. Moreover, to go to the material warehouse, you have to cross a 200-meter-long bridge that separates the working area and the living area."

"There are many broken-down vehicles and wandering zombies on the bridge. It is impossible to rush out with flesh and blood and momentary courage."

Du Weiliang also knew that what Qin Cai said was true. His idea just now was indeed not appropriate. If they could leave the work area so easily, there would not be so many staff here now. After all, not everyone can face death directly.

Just when the atmosphere in the central control room was extremely dull and everyone was silent, the red phone on Du Weiliang's desk rang again.

"Chief Engineer Du, this is the general monitoring room. The car you asked me to observe just now went straight to the work area after passing through the living area. They are now almost at the bridge, and I found that your grandson, Du Yuwen, was also in that car." A hurried voice came from the red phone.

"What! Yuwen is also in that car!"

Du Weiliang was also stunned when he heard the voice from the phone. He never expected that his grandson was still alive and was still in the car heading to the work area.

However, after being stunned, a crazy idea flooded into his mind. He immediately said to the other end of the phone: "Turn on the park broadcast now and put the phone microphone on the microphone of the broadcast."
