Global Exploration: Starting from Decrypting Chernobyl

3: Live broadcast starts, calling the tour guide!“Doing research?”

The Bear Country old man was startled, then looked at Wu Tian, who was barely in his early twenties, and his brows furrowed tightly.

“Is there no one left in Dragon Country?”

“Why send a young kid like you to such a dangerous place to do research?”

The old man spoke very impolitely.

“Hehe...”

Wu Tian smiled faintly.

“Young people have good health, and they can handle crises well, can’t they?”

“Hmph!”

“Nonsense!”

The old man seemed even angrier.

“Pripyat has become a dead city. There is no life within a thirty-kilometer radius. The radiation intensity is so high that even fungi cannot survive. What are you going to research there?”

“Everything that could be researched has already been thoroughly researched.”

“You should go back!”

...

After a moment of hesitation, Wu Tian gently squatted down and whispered to the old man.

“Grandpa, you must be a survivor of the Chernobyl incident, right? Do you have any doubts about what happened at Chernobyl?”

“...”

The old man froze.

Then he turned his head to look at Wu Tian, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

“What do you mean?”

“...”

“The Chernobyl incident was not a natural disaster, but a man-made one!”

“As far as I know, it wasn’t until the fourth week after the explosion of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant No. 4, when the radioactive dust had already drifted to the borders of other countries, that the high-ranking officials of the former Bear Country began to take it seriously!”

“Among this...”

Wu Tian’s eyes glinted.

“There must have been human error!”

“You...”

【Your words have stirred up the old man’s past memories. His friends and family all died in that incident, and his dissatisfaction has resurfaced. Continue speaking, resonate with the old man, and then help him!】

Hearing Narrator-kun’s prompt, Wu Tian frowned.

Then he spoke to the old man.

His voice was low, seemingly recounting the pain of all the people in the small town of Pripyat during the Chernobyl incident!

It also seemed to denounce the incompetence of the high-ranking officials!

“What is the cost of lies? It’s not that they will be mistaken for the truth!”

“The real danger is...”

“If we hear too many lies, we will no longer be able to distinguish the truth.”

“...”

“You...”

The old man’s eyes widened, then filled with red bloodshot veins.

Crystal tears welled up in his eyes.

He choked out, “You’re right!”

The old man wiped away his tears.

“This matter is all because of those high-ranking officials who held their positions without doing anything. If it weren’t for their deliberate concealment, if they had evacuated from Pripyat earlier...”

“Wuwu...”

The old man choked up even more.

“My son...”

“My poor firefighter son, he even...”

“He only stayed in that damned place for ten minutes!”

“...”

“Grandpa!”

Wu Tian gritted his teeth, firmly gripping the latter’s frail wrist, and said resolutely.

“My trip is precisely to uncover the truth!”

“Don’t worry!”

“I will make sure that those who made mistakes pay the price they deserve, and let your son in heaven see his heroic deeds of saving others witnessed by the whole world!”

As soon as he finished speaking!

【Your words have deeply moved the old man, and he has decided to help you!】

Narrator-kun prompted again.

Wu Tian was stunned!

Then, under his gaze, the old man hesitated for a moment, then nodded sharply.

“Good!”

“You’re a good kid!”

“Since you’re from Dragon Country and so young, you must have something special about you!”

“I don’t have much ability, so I’ll give you a little help!”

As he spoke.

The old man took out a small cloth bag from hisPregnant and handed it to Wu Tian.

The moment Wu Tian took it, the old man explained.

“Here’s a bottle of iodine tablets and a phone number.”

After that.

The old man smiled faintly at Wu Tian.

“Iodine tablets can neutralize nuclear radiation, allowing you to last a little longer. Of course, I hope you never have to use them.”

“The other note has a phone number written on it.”

“The owner of the phone is a famous guide in Bear Country. He is very capable and can help you with your trip to Chernobyl!”

“Thank you!”

Wu Tian nodded to the old man from the bottom of his heart.

He expressed his gratitude.

The iodine tablets were something he hadn’t thought of before, and a guide familiar with Chernobyl was also crucial.

This would be his greatest reliance when he first arrived at Chernobyl!

...

After bidding farewell to the old man, Wu Tian bought the next available flight and headed to the town of Pripyat within Ulan Country.

Two hours later, a flight landed at Pripyat Airport!

Wu Tian followed the crowd off the plane.

As soon as they disembarked, passengers from various countries immediately swarmed out, and the area around the airport was filled with tour companies holding up various signs!

“Explore Chernobyl!”

“Explore the mutations of flora and fauna caused by nuclear radiation!”

“Chernobyl Three-Day Tour!”

“Observe Reactor No. 4 up close, you deserve to have it!”

“...”

Looking at the desolate town, the uninhabited wasteland in the distance, and a vague, huge building shrouded in thick fog in the far distance, Wu Tian sighed softly!

“This is a disaster!”

“Chernobyl!”

“I’m here...”

“Ding dong!”

“Detecting that the Host has approached the mission location, opening global live broadcast for the Host. Please name the live broadcast room!”

Wu Tian was startled.

“Let’s call it...”

“Decoding Chernobyl!”

“Decoding: Chernobyl. The live broadcast room has been created. Do you want to divert traffic?”

“Divert traffic?”

Wu Tian frowned.

Then he realized.

“Diverting traffic means sending super gifts, right?”

“Yes!”

Wu Tian’s mouth twitched!

“Send them, send a lot!”

“...”

Five minutes later, under the system’s gift bombardment across all platforms, approximately six hundred thousand people from all over the world flooded into the live broadcast room. When they saw the title of the live broadcast room and Wu Tian’s location, they erupted!

“Holy moly!”

“The Host really went to the town of Pripyat in Ulan Country!”

“It’s true!”

“Decoding, how will the Host decode it?”

“Awesome, awesome, 666!”

“I know Chernobyl, a nuclear reactor explosion happened there, it’s very dangerous. Is the Host that brave?”

“...”

Of course, there were those who marvelled and those who tried to debunk it.

“I bet five rockets that this guy absolutely won’t dare to get close to Chernobyl!”

“I bet six!”

“According to experts, it will take at least 800 years to completely eliminate the impact of this catastrophe on the natural environment, and the continuous nuclear radiation danger will last for 100,000 years!”

“The Host is definitely just going to brush past it!”

“He won’t dare to go in!”

“...”

Just as the bullet comments were polarized and opinions varied.

Wu Tian dialed the number the old man gave him.

He spoke in fluent Ulanian.

“Yes!”

“I was introduced by Yuri Tav. I’m at Pripyat Airport.”

“Please come pick me up!”

“Yes, price is not an issue!”
