Chapter 1676 Radiation (Please vote for the monthly ticket!!! Please subscribe!!! Please recommend!!)
No matter how capable they are, they are actually scum who don't know how to distinguish between grains and work. After all, they are not that kind of people and will not make "quick money". All criminals basically have one characteristic, that is, they love to be lazy and hate to work, except for psychopaths... After all, they are all perverts, so they can't be regarded by the standards of ordinary people.
In short, a group of people complained about using the climbing ropes dropped by the sandman to climb up the waterfall little by little. This is not a simple thing, especially the cliff walls are full of water and moss, and the water drops splashing from the waterfall on the side make people feel uncomfortable.
It's summer now, but the water temperature of Black Rock Mountain is ridiculously low, it seems to be only a few degrees.
If they hadn't been trained by Kraven, they would die of hypothermia at any time if they were wet! But when they climbed up the cliff, they almost froze to death!
Don't think that low water temperature is not a big deal. In fact, low water temperature is enough to kill people! Water conducts heat very well. When the human body enters low water temperature, a large amount of heat will be lost. The longer the time, the more dangerous it is.
If you wear clothes in 20-degree weather, there is no problem at all. If you don't wear clothes in 20-degree weather, you will only feel a little cold, but it's okay to hold on for a few hours. At most, you may catch a cold afterwards. But if you are in water temperature below 20 degrees, it will take less than an hour to shiver with cold. If the water temperature drops by another ten degrees, you will scream when you go into the water. If you hold on for a few minutes, you will immediately feel obvious. If it is a few degrees lower... it will be really freezing cold.
Especially for them, wearing clothes, getting wet, and exposed to the air, when the body temperature evaporates the water, the heat is lost faster!
So when they climbed up the cliff, everyone was frozen like a grandson.
Only the sand man said it was normal and a little hot.
They quickly took out dry clothes from the waterproof bag and put on down jackets.
"Hurry up! Take everything and speed up immediately." After changing clothes, Kraven immediately picked up his equipment and wet clothes, and then walked towards the depths.
"Fuck! I'm freezing to death!" Mark complained tremblingly.
"Then hurry up and move, it won't be cold if you move! We have limited time, at most ten minutes, the patrol soldiers will come here! Don't stop, don't leave anything behind!" Kraven doesn't actually need to wear a down jacket.
The witch's blessing allows Kraven to adapt to various extreme natural environments. He only wears a leather vest on a daily basis. But adapting to the environment does not mean immunity. Low temperatures will still make him feel uncomfortable and affect his athletic ability.
So in order to save energy, he still put on clothes. It's better now. The deeper you go into the park, the lower the temperature!
In order not to be discovered, the group ran madly into the depths of the park. The deeper they go, the lower the chance of encountering patrol personnel!
The Black Rock Mountain is only 1,973 meters above sea level, with an area of 100 square kilometers. The canyon is 13 kilometers long, and the maximum height difference between the top of the mountain and the bottom of the valley is about 1,200 meters. On the edge of the mountain top, there is a barrier lake that was formed a long time ago. That is where Scylla sleeps. It has become a huge block of ice, and the lake water is frozen from the inside out.
The cubs move around Scylla.
They feed on the radiation released by Scylla, and at the same time, they will hunt animals around them as a supplement.
So this makes the forest extremely quiet, and there is not even a bird call... According to Kraven's intelligence, the animals in the entire park are either preyed on or scared away. So they don't need to worry about encountering wild animals.
There are even few insects.
In order to ensure that the cubs will not run out of the park at will, the military will regularly release some animals in the park, such as cattle, sheep, horses, etc.
But after releasing these animals, it is difficult to find them again, and even their bones cannot be found.
After walking about ten kilometers, the temperature is getting higher and higher. They can even see the frost on the leaves, and they start to exhale white air from their mouths and noses.
"Be careful... We are almost in the most affected area."
The altitude began to rise. Although this altitude would not have any effect on the human body, after all, the air would not be thin at this altitude, but the temperature here did remind them that they had come to a dangerous area.
"Those young ones are not cute little animals. They are natural predators, so it is best not to act alone."
"No need to remind you, Kraven, we all know what their mother looks like. Do you think we are stupid?" Mark said what everyone wanted to say on behalf of everyone.
After all, except for Mark, everyone is a decent person and will not vent their inner thoughts at will.
"Remind you."
After that, a group of people sped up their journey. Except for the lake they did not plan to go to, they needed to go around other places. After all, those young ones would not gather together like quails waiting for them to catch.
"Hey, Kraven, since you are collecting intelligence, why don't you collect some information about those cubs? That way our hunting operation may be easier."
"Shut up, idiot. All the eyewitness reports about those things are confidential... I'm not 007. I can't rush into the barracks and steal those reports." Craven actually likes Mark very much. After all, this farm boy is the most restless and says whatever he thinks.
Compared with the other three gloomy bastards, he is much easier to get along with. In addition, this guy is not deep, at least there is no need to be wary of him.
"Well, we just ran into the monster's hunting ground casually, but the monster's photo is confidential... Isn't this too ironic?" Mark still couldn't restrain the desire to chatter. The forest was too quiet. Except for the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, they heard everything.
This damn silence is not what Mark likes. He likes the deafening music in the nightclub and the screams of girls being stuck. He is not a group of fools in the city who like to pursue tranquility... If you like to pursue tranquility, just leave the city!
Spending money to find tranquility in a noisy city... Purely sick!
"No! This is not ironic, because most people in this world would not dare to risk their lives by running here to hang out and wake up a Titan!" Snart answered Mark's question on behalf of Kraven.
In fact, the other two thought so too.
Including Sandman, Sandman has always been confident in his ability to save his life, but Titan is an exception. Although he has never been to Miami, he has seen the tragic situation in Miami through TV... The whole land has been melted into a colorful layer of glass... Or it can be said to be obsidian. Now the hottest surroundings in Miami are those hard obsidian... After all, the whole city has been melted, and they have nothing but this now.
Sandman thinks that if he is touched by the ghost things sprayed by those monsters, he may also turn into a pool of obsidian... He is sure that if that happens... He will definitely die.
If possible, he prefers to fight wits and courage with those policemen.
Rather than running to the wild and teasing those monsters that are taller than skyscrapers when they stand up with a group of idiots.
"Yes, yes, yes, I know you all think I'm crazy, but there's nothing I can do. The wild blood in my body drives me to pursue the most dangerous hunts, and I can't control it myself... or I haven't thought about controlling it." Kraven was actually scolded by them many times.
But he didn't want to change.
He didn't like a monotonous life. Hunting made him feel alive. The struggle between life and death with the prey, the concentration when chasing the prey, and the satisfaction of hunting success made him unable to stop.
"Mad man!"
"Thank you!"
Soon they crossed the snow line... The snow line can be seen at an altitude of 1,000 meters. This is definitely an amazing discovery in geographical history... You know, Georgia has a subtropical humid climate. Due to its latitude and proximity to the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the climate is pleasant all year round. The temperature in summer is between 27℃ and 35℃. There will be a small amount of snowfall in northern Georgia in winter, while they are in the south.
It rarely snows here.
The moment they stepped on the snow line, a cold wind blew over.
It was like the breath of a giant beast, which shocked everyone.
Of course, this is impossible.
It's just a psychological effect.
However, things got worse soon. Not long after they stepped onto the snow line, the wind started to blow, and then the weather became gloomy, and then the snow began to hit them mercilessly!
The blizzard came, and it came without any warning! It came as soon as it was said!
"Wow! Does that mean that Georgia will have a summer ski resort in the future? I believe that many rich people are willing to spend money to come here to ski in the tropics." Mark was still chattering.
Snart looked at the surrounding terrain. Black Rock Mountain was not steep. On the contrary, the slope was gentle, which was a very friendly place.
"The ski resort here is only suitable for beginners." The slope was gentle, so it was not so exciting. This is not a good thing for many skiing experts.
"Hey! Those who are willing to spend money to come here are basically beginners!" Mark retorted.
He was right. Eighty percent of those who really went skiing were rookies. Real enthusiasts and masters are always a minority.
Sandman: "I agree!"
He was usually very silent, but now he had to divert his attention... He hated snow. Especially when the snow melted into water on his boots and then seeped into his boots... he hated it even more.
He felt like his feet were not his own, like two lumps of ice emitting cold air!
Damn!
This feeling was too uncomfortable.
Kraven, who was walking in the front, suddenly raised his hand.
"Have you noticed... our friend the wizard... seems to have never spoken until now."
Kraven just noticed that there was one less heavy breathing sound!
A group of people turned their heads and saw that there was no one behind them!
The wizard was gone!
Because after entering the snow line, Kraven had the most experience and the best physical strength, so he took the lead. The wizard had the worst physical strength and could only walk to the end.
But fortunately, he was able to keep up with the team, and everyone did not stop.
Just kept on going.
As for not talking... the wizard was not a talkative person, and he had not spoken since the beginning, so no one cared.
But now... a living person is gone!
Even in the blizzard, the group of people still felt the bone-chilling cold... This coldness was much stronger than the blizzard.
"I say... my good hunter, are you going to say something?"
Mark spoke with some difficulty.
Kraven looked up at the sky... His face was grim: "Fuck! I knew there was something wrong with this blizzard! We are prey!"
No doubt, the only thing that can capture people silently in this barren place is the Scylla cub!
Kraven felt something was wrong with the previous blizzard... He is an experienced hunter. He knows astronomy and geography, but he is good at observing the weather. How can he track prey without this skill?
At that time, I thought it was caused by the abnormal environment of this place, but now it seems...
Captain Frost was wearing a special cold-proof suit. He raised his freezing gun and began to look around!
The blizzard made the fleet lower and lower, and the surroundings were all white.
"What should we do? Lure those monsters out?"
"No! They are looking at us!" Kraven grinned: "We are the prey! They will wait until we relax our vigilance and eat us in one bite!"
Kraven was not angry, but excited! He has been hunting all his life, always chasing prey, but he never expected that one day, he would become someone else's prey! This feeling made him feel excited! Hunting is like this, no one knows who is the real prey, maybe when you are chasing prey excitedly, you also become someone else's prey.
It's nothing, Kraven has long been aware of it.
But this time, it really made him feel excited!
Killing one of his companions silently. This shows that those cubs are not as stupid as he thought. Instead, they have very superb hunting skills. Kraven feels threatened, but it also makes him feel more excited.
"Then what do you say?" Sandman said with an ugly face.
"Don't worry, they will come out! Believe in the wisdom of the old hunter!" Kraven took out a lead box from his arms!
There is a radioactive sign on it!
Snart suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Kraven's hand: "Are you crazy? ! ! If you want to die, don't take us with you!"
Snart admitted that he was almost scared to death!
Damn radioactive material... If this thing comes out, what will happen to those monsters? He doesn't know, but he knows that his group will be in trouble!
Kraven saw Snart's nervous look and laughed.
"Don't be nervous, these things are indeed radioactive materials... but not as serious as you think."
Regarding the threat of nuclear weapons, after so many years of propaganda, people have demonized things related to nuclear weapons. They think those things are very dangerous... Well, in fact, they are indeed quite dangerous.
But not as dangerous as imagined.
For example, the alloy of uranium, zirconium, molybdenum and other metals in Kraven's hand. As we all know, uranium is radioactive and can be used to make nuclear fuel. In everyone's impression, when you come into contact with this kind of radioactive nuclear material, you need to wear protective clothing and be fully armed to the teeth to avoid being injured by radiation.
In fact, it's not that serious. Experts who know the business dare to hold this kind of radioactive material directly in their hands, even without gloves, but they need to wash their hands after contact.
