Chapter 170 A Near Miss

The entire Nuclear Energy Research Institute, whether on duty or on vacation, was urgently mobilized back.

Their main job is to find the cat and search for traces of the cat's escape.

Every route along the way must be scanned with instruments to detect radioactivity.

This workload is undoubtedly huge.

The wall was pushed down and the land was directly dug up.

It seems exaggerated, but it is the most cost-effective and trouble-free way.

Then use a truck to throw them to a unified place for landfill.

Fortunately, this area is a development zone, which is relatively remote and most of the houses are uninhabited.

Wild cats will not run into people's homes.

As long as they stay at home, basically nothing will happen.

The only thing that bothers them is that the cat is missing and they can't find it at all.

Many nearby lands have not been developed yet, and there is no surveillance at all. The cat burrowed into the bushes and disappeared without a trace.

But according to experts' calculations, the cat carries so much nuclear material on its body. Judging from its body structure, it is probably dead now.

Even if it is not dead, it is estimated that it can't walk, and it is only a matter of time before it is found.

But in contrast, Xihai City was boiling at the moment.

As He Shuji's order was issued, all kinds of overwhelming propaganda instantly caused panic in the city.

First, there was text message bombardment. Every Xihai citizen's mobile phone received a message reminding them to self-isolate and not run around.

The second was TV and radio.

But there were relatively few people watching local TV stations, so the effect was minimal.

The most powerful propaganda was the patrolling police.

A large number of traffic police on the streets were maintaining order. The police cars flashed double flashes and turned on the loudspeakers to play in a loop, persuading everyone not to leave the room without permission.

Seeing such a big battle, even the most reckless people knew that something big had happened. They all hid in the house obediently and no one went out.

But privately, it had already exploded.

Forums, Moments, and discussion groups were almost all talking about related topics.

——【Thanks to Lin Yuan, I can slack off again. It's so nice not to go to work in the afternoon, hehe! 】

——【You are so bold. Aren't you afraid of being infected by radiation? That thing is deadly! ]

——【What are you afraid of? You can stay at home and you won't be infected as long as you don't come into contact with people. 】

——【Rumor has it that the first two people infected showed up yesterday. How do you know if you have come into contact with them? What if? 】

——【Fuck! Is this true? These two guys are so careless. I just want to know what sentence they will be sentenced to if they are caught? Life imprisonment or death penalty? 】

——【Lin Yuan was also infected today. He is being examined in the next hospital, but it shouldn't be a big deal. To be honest, we all have to thank him. Otherwise, many people would have died, and they would have lost a lot of skin. 】

At this moment, the local forum company in Xihai City was in a mess.

The manager watched the network department staff sweating profusely to repair the network, and his heart was always hanging.

In the past few years, the local forum was very popular and made him a lot of money.

But in recent years, Weibo, forums, and Tieba have almost become a thing of the past and have been eliminated.

The company's revenue has also been declining bit by bit, and it is about to go bankrupt.

But for a while, it suddenly became popular for no reason.

It rekindled his hope.

After some investigation, he realized that it was related to a man named Lin Yuan.

I thought it was just a lucky chance.

As a result, every day after that, the forum was in a state of explosion.

A large number of Xihai citizens exchanged questions in the forum, but the topic was basically inseparable from Lin Yuan.

In just one week, he was resurrected.

Many businesses came to him to cooperate in advertising, and venture capital even came to him to discuss investment.

This sky-breaking wealth, the feeling of falling on the head is really too cool.

However, today!

As expected, the forum exploded again.

But this time is different! !

In the past, there were at most tens of thousands of people online at the same time.

And now, there are more than 500,000 people online at the same time!

After all, this number is still increasing wildly.

In a short period of time, the number of people who successfully registered as members exceeded 200,000.

What a concept!

Such data, in the past, the total of a year might not be achieved.

It gave him an illusion that the whole Xihai City was going to come here.

It seems to be a good thing, but the problem is that the server can't stand it! !

If the network department hadn't tried every possible way to maintain it, the forum would have crashed long ago.

The situation that was finally revitalized, if it crashed at a critical moment, not to mention returning to the pre-liberation era overnight, at least more than 100,000 customers would be lost.

Thinking of this, the manager couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and solemnly ordered the network staff: "I don't care what method you use, you must stay stable and can't collapse. If you succeed this time, you will be the company's supervisor, and your year-end bonus will increase tenfold!"

Hearing this, the employees in charge of maintenance instantly became like chicken blood, working like crazy.

He Shuji specially called the media reporters, and personally brought Secretary Li to follow the nuclear energy experts from the neighboring city to visit and inspect every household, and live broadcast the whole process.

On the one hand, it was to let everyone pay attention to isolation, and on the other hand, it was to tell them not to panic too much.

As long as everyone cooperates well, this problem can be solved soon.

This is indeed the case.

Director Yang at the scrap yard made preparations in advance to ensure that the radiation would not leak out.

And after interrogating the two thieves, they immediately planned their route yesterday.

Fortunately, they are both Internet addicts, and they spend most of their time in Internet cafes or sleeping in rental houses, so they have very few contacts.

After the medical staff joined, they all wore protective clothing and held testing instruments, and their efficiency instantly increased many times.

After all, no skills are required, just a scan is enough, which is very convenient.

Whenever there is radiation exceeding the standard, they will be isolated and transferred to the hospital for treatment.

During this period, several incidents of radiation exceeding the standard were accidentally discovered.

In particular, a little girl had a so-called energy stone hanging around her neck.

The parents bought it from an unknown master.

It is said that it can ward off evil spirits, make children grow taller, develop better, and be smarter.

As a result, since she brought that thing, her face has never been better, and she often bleeds from the nose. The parents thought she was sick and didn't take it seriously.

It was not until the moment when the radiation exceeded the standard that she suddenly realized it and kept thanking the door-to-door personnel.

If she stayed any longer, she would probably die at its hands sooner or later.

As time went by, the sky gradually changed from bright sunshine to full of stars.

The number of special vehicles on the street gradually decreased, replaced by private cars.

The deserted community gate also had a little more fireworks, and the people who had been worried for an afternoon came out to breathe.

A thrilling nuclear leak was solved unknowingly.

The citizens lived as usual again, but their after-dinner topics were basically related to this.

The scrap yard was not so lucky, and there were many places where wild cats passed by.

Whether it was demolishing the scrap yard or digging the ground, it would not be solved in a short time.

Residents living nearby could only continue to self-isolate. Fortunately, the government sent them supplies on time and on time, so they would not starve to death.

Lin Yuan was also discharged safely after an afternoon of treatment.

The moment they walked out of the hospital, looking at the stars in the sky, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.
