Chapter 551 Lighting the Dawn of DarknessThere are not many zombies in the nuclear power plant, only about a dozen.
What surprised Lu Li was that the behavior of these zombies was different from the zombies he had encountered before.
These zombies in front of me don't look normal.
The clothes on their bodies, though dirty, were still neat, and there was no blood on them. What's more, these zombies also walked back and forth in the nuclear power plant in groups of three or four, seeming to follow a certain pattern.
This feeling... It's like a group of nuclear power plant staff, patrolling the equipment of the nuclear power plant.
It's weird!
Could it be that... even if it becomes zombies, the responsibility and perseverance of the past still allow these zombies to continue their original work?
Could it be that there are still some hazy memories left in their brains eroded by the virus? Or... obsession?
Lu Li secretly sighed, and an inexplicable surprise was born in his heart.
Zombies of these special behavior patterns are rare samples. Maybe find some way from them to help zombies regain their sanity?
Deal with the nuclear power plant problem first, then do the research later.
After calming down, Lu Li walked into the nuclear power plant, moved towards the position of the reactor at the bottom of the "big chimney".
Lu Li's appearance was also discovered by zombie walking ahead.
To Lu Li's surprise, the zombies just turned their heads to look at Lu Li, then turned around again, ignoring Lu Li at all, and continued along the patrol route.
They just ignore me without even roaring?
These zombies are really weird.
Lu Li didn't delay either and walked directly to the control room ahead.
Walking into the main control room, a strong smell of burnt smell came to the nostrils. The main control room in front of me was charred black, and all the instruments and equipment were burned into a mass of coke.
Even, Lu Li saw several charred bodies in the main control room.
Stepping forward, Lu Li inspected the charred corpses and suddenly found...these corpses also had two sharp canine fangs on their upper jaws.
This is a zombie!
Perhaps...after being infected with the virus, these zombies still habitually came to the main control room for some unknown reason.
However, they have lost the memories and skills they once had, and they don't know why they are here or what to do.
Until...the lack of operator control resulted in a wire overload that eventually caught fire and burned the place to coke.
Lu Li shook the head helplessly.
The main control room burned down, and Lu Li couldn't shut down the reactor directly from the main control.
To shut down the nuclear reactor, Lu Li had to enter the reactor compartment, which was placed underground. There... must be full of nuclear radiation now.
Nuclear radiation, Lu Li is not too worried.
In the original radiation wasteland plot, Lu Li created a radiation-resistant protein for himself, which can protect his DNA molecular chain from being damaged by high-energy rays.
It's just...hope that the warning message is more reliable and won't burn through the reactor shell within 24 hours.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful Lu Li is, he is not a "man who came out of a nuclear explosion", and will be directly vaporized by the high temperature of several millions degrees.
Turning around and walking out of the main control room, Lu Li glanced at the "escape route map" posted on the aisle wall and memorized the building structure.
Going along the aisle, Lu Li came to the elevator.
The main control room is burnt, and the elevator line is naturally unavailable.
It's just... There are still a few zombies standing at the elevator entrance at the moment. Because there was no elevator, these zombies stood blankly at the elevator entrance, habitually waiting for the elevator that could no longer be opened.
Lu Li shook the head, ignoring the zombies, turned and walked towards the stairs.
In addition to the elevator, there are also stairs that lead directly to the underground reactor compartment.
Walking into the stairs, there are some hazmat suits and Geiger counters in a small room next to it.
At this moment, Lu Li saw that on the Geiger counter placed on the tool rack, bursts of red light flickered, and a faint alarm sounded.
The reason why the siren is weak is probably that the battery is almost dead.
Lu Li hurried up, grabbed a Geiger counter, and looked at the numbers on it...1000 millisieverts!
Is this still a ground platform, there is such a strong nuclear radiation?
It seems that there has been a nuclear leak in the reactor compartment. It's just a little bit closer to burning through the protective shell of the reactor.
To be on the safe side, Lu Li still put on a protective suit for himself.
He found a few new batteries in the tool room and installed the Geiger counter. Lu Li hung the Geiger counter on the protective suit and hurried out.
Fast forward along the stairway, Lu Li soon came to the nuclear reactor cabin at the bottom of the "big chimney" fifty meters underground.
Approaching the reactor compartment, a heat wave assaults the senses.
The blazing high temperature made the air all around flicker with distorted light and shadow, and the heat wave of assaults the senses made Lu Li feel the skin tingling through the protective suit.
As for the amount of radiation... the Geiger counter hanging around his waist is screaming frantically, and the number displayed on it has reached more than 5,000 millisieverts.
With this amount of radiation, an ordinary person can invite the whole village to dinner immediately after irradiating it for one second.
Alright! The reactor hasn't really burned through yet!
Lu Li secretly rejoices that if he has burned through the protective casing, no matter how powerful Lu Li is, he will be powerless.
True Qi tossed and circulated in the body, resisting the blazing high temperature, Lu Li walked into the reactor cabin step by step.
Walking into the cabin, Lu Li was surprised to find that there was even a zombie in it.
A zombie wandering dazedly in the core compartment.
This is an old man who looks to be in his fifties, with a name tag hanging on his chest that reads "Chief Engineer of Zhuangqiu Nuclear Power Plant, Wang Kebin".
The temperature in the reactor cabin was very high, and this zombie was roasted with oil, but it was still wandering in the cabin, as if there was some kind of obsession that drove him to come here.
However...because of the erosion of the virus, he can't remember why he came, nor what he should do, he just came here instinctively.
At this moment, Lu Li felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
In this world, there is always something above all else.
In this world, there are always some beliefs that never die.
Even if there is no memory in his mind, even if he forgets everything, that instinctive belief still drives him to stick to it here!
"Wang Gong, I'm here!"
Lu Li walked up to the zombie, raised his right hand, and saluted the zombie, "Don't worry, I will definitely close it. Nuclear reactor, nuclear radiation will not spread!"
"Ho...ho..."
Zombie looked up at Lu Li, blinked a pair of red eyes a few times, and there was a burning sensation in his throat. A few dry growls came out.
Next moment, zombie's body flickered, and "pu tong" fell to the ground.
This reaction...
Lu Li's eyes twitched. Could it be that...he still has some vague consciousness?
Stop the nuclear reactor first!
Ignoring the fallen zombie, Lu Li turned around and walked to the nuclear reactor.
The way to shut down a nuclear reactor is very simple, just pull out the fuel mandrel inside the nuclear reactor.
It's just... Now that there is no power control and automatic operation, Lu Li can only manually pull out the fuel mandrel.
speak frankly, Lu Li really doesn't understand how to manually extract the fuel rods of the nuclear reactor.
Even though he has studied fusion reactors and fission reactors in the radiation plot, Lu Li only knows the principle, only the automatic control program, and has never operated manually at all.
However, Lu Li still has a solution!
"Open the virtual laboratory, the nuclear reactor in front of you!"
With an order, the nuclear reactor in front of you was virtualized in the virtual laboratory.
Isn't it just a manual operation? Haven't done it? Not proficient? Play it a few times and you'll get used to it!
And then...Lu Li turned on virtual death mode!
After trial and error again and again, after being burned into gas by nuclear explosions, and dying dozens of times in a row, Lu Li finally figured out the correct operation steps.
After closing the virtual lab, Lu Li wiped a cold sweat and let out a sigh of relief. He turned around from the tool rack in the core compartment, picked up a large wrench, and walked to the front of the reactor.
I have done this job many times, and I have died many times!
Now...I'm pretty good at it!
Put the wrench on the interface bolt, pull it hard, loosen the bolt, rotate it manually, drive the reactor transmission mechanism, and slowly pull out the fuel mandrel.
This operation must be accurate, neither fast nor slow, one circle per second is the most appropriate, otherwise... with a bang, the game is over!
Don't ask how Lu Li knew, he died dozens of times in the virtual lab!
The fuel rods were pulled out, and the graphite rods that absorbed neutrons were put back in again, completely blocking the chain reaction, and the nuclear reactor finally stopped running.
Done!
Lu Li put out a long breath, then turned around and walked over to Zombie who fell to the ground.
I reached out and probed, Zombie's breathing and heartbeat were extremely weak, and it seemed that he was not far from death.
Even a zombie is still a creature, still flesh and blood.
Under such strong radiation and high temperature, it can persist until now, which cannot be explained by the zombie virus mutation.
Lu Li quickly picked up the zombie and hurried out of the reactor core compartment.
Climbing the stairs all the way to the top floor and back to the ground, Lu Li found an open and airy place and laid the odd zombie flat on the ground.
Checked again, this zombie's breathing and heartbeat were even weaker, the pulse was no longer detectable on the wrist, and only the common carotid artery could feel a faint throbbing.
It's... no, he's going to die!
Lu Li sighed deeply, lowered his head and said in zombie's ear: "Wang Gong, the reactor has been shut down, it's safe!"
Zombie's eyelids trembled. A faint "ho ho" sound came out of his throat, and his neck was twisted, and there was no sound.
Lu Li was silent for a while, then stood up and raised his hand to salute the zombie!
There is always some perseverance that is admirable!
There are always some beliefs that move people!
Even if...even if he had absolutely no idea what he was doing, he didn't remember anything!
"Open the virtual lab!"
Lu Li opened the virtual lab again.
"The zombie body of the virtual chief engineer Wang Kebin."
A rays of light flashed, and the zombie body of the chief engineer Wang Kebin appeared in the virtual laboratory.
Lu Li picked up a syringe and drew a tube of blood from the zombie for testing.
Under the electronic Microscope, the zombie virus in Wang Kebin's body has undergone some peculiar changes.
The original zombie virus is a new mutant prion formed by combining prion with rabies virus and haemophilus virus.
Nowadays, the mutant prion in Wang Kebin's body has undergone some mutations again. In this virus, the components of rabies virus and bloodthirsty virus are reduced, and the protein molecular structure of the core part of the prion is slightly different.
This is a brand new mutated prion, which Lu Li calls "Wang Kebin virus"!
Obviously, this "Wang Kebin virus" is the reason why the zombies of the nuclear power plant have different habits from the zombies outside.
The factor responsible for this change...probably is nuclear radiation.
In order to verify this, Lu Li quickly created a virtual operating room, dissection the virtual Wang Kebin zombie, and observed the brain tissue of the zombie.
After the craniotomy dissection, Lu Li found that in Wang Kebin's zombie's brain tissue, there were slightly more nerve cells that were not damaged by the mutant prion.
Immediately, Lu Li virtualized other zombies in the nuclear power plant, dissection one after another, and carefully compared the brain tissue structure.
The experimental results showed that the proportion of normal nerve cells in the brain tissue of these nuclear power plant zombies was 1% higher than that of other zombies.
So they will have different habits, and they will act instinctively according to the original habits.
At this moment, Lu Li seemed to see the dawn, the dawn of zombie's recovery.
But...it's still just a glimmer of light, and it's too difficult to achieve.
To make zombies recover a little bit of normal brain cells under nuclear radiation, wouldn't the world be full of mushrooms and spread nuclear radiation all over the world?
In order to avoid a biochemical apocalypse, level the world? This is too funny!
This idea is definitely wrong.
Lu Li thought for a while, then virtualized a normal zombie, and raised a blood sample from the normal zombie.
Next, Lu Li injected the new virus in Wang Kebin's zombie into the normal zombie's blood and observed it under an electronic Microscope.
This time experiment...a huge surprise for Lu Li.
Under the electronic Microscope, "Wang Kebin virus" suddenly invades normal zombie virus.
The transmission mechanism of prions is to convert normal protein molecules into prion protein molecules. At this moment, "Wang Kebin virus" is also transforming normal zombie virus in this way.
It's just...not so efficient.
The zombie virus is also a prion, which is also highly offensive. The two prions are constantly fighting and attacking each other, but the "Wang Kebin virus" has the upper hand.
But...it's still a great find!
This is the light that illuminates the darkness!
“I get it! I get it!”
Lu Li laughed heartily, “Only prions can fight prions! I have found a research direction!”
