When Su Chen returned to the hotel, he immediately turned on his computer and searched for relevant information about a nuclear radiation detector.

After all, this was not something an everyday person would possess.

There were only a few of them on sale online and it would take a few days to be delivered.

That would take too much time. 

Su Chen could not afford to wait. After all, the end of the world was only a month away.

Every day counts. Su Chen thought to himself, ‘Since there was a nuclear power plant, the employees must have their own nuclear radiation detector. To them, it should be a common and necessary item. Perhaps they still kept them.’

Then, Su Chen posted his message on a specific trading platform.

“I urgently need to buy a nuclear radiation detector.”

Not long after, someone replied.

“I have one. The price is 25,000. No bargaining!”

Su Chen knew that a nuclear radiation detector was not cheap.

However, twenty-five thousand dollars was really pushing it.

Nonetheless, Su Chen immediately dialed the seller’s number.

“Sir, I’ll buy your device. Here’s my address. Send it to me within half an hour.”

He said to the other end of the phone.

The seller’s heart went cold because Su Chen agreed so readily.

‘I could have sold it at a higher price.’

This caused him to stammer.

Su Chen noticed that the other party was hesitating.

He knew that the seller must have felt that the price was too low and wanted to raise it.

During such circumstances, time was the most precious thing while money was worthless.

Su Chen did not want to waste any more of his time on this idiot.

“50,000. Send it to the lobby of Gan Ting Hotel in half an hour.”

Su Chen instantly quoted another price before the other party could say anything.

“Yes sir. I’ll deliver it right away.”

The seller hurriedly agreed.

Through the phone, one could also feel him bowing his head.

Twenty minutes passed. 

Su Chen was sitting on the sofa in the hotel lobby. 

Obviously, he was waiting for the seller.

He looked coldly at the people outside the window.

Among them, there should be quite many who have awakened their special abilities.

In the future, things would become even more dangerous.

For example, the short man with super strength could have easily gotten away with robbing the gold store if he was not there.

The world was heading down a chaotic, violent, and bloody path!

Su Chen felt the urgency of checking in more than ever.

“Sir, are you the one who wants to buy a nuclear radiation detector?”

A man’s voice interrupted Su Chen’s thoughts.

Su Chen looked up and saw a middle-aged man.

He was holding a bag in his hand while smiling respectfully.

“Yes.”

Su Chen said coldly.

“Sir, what do you want this for?”

The man asked as he took out a yellow device from the bag.

It had a square head, a handle, and a screen in front.

“Show me how to use it.”

“Sir, you turn this device on like this…” said the man as he demonstrated to Su Chen.

After the demonstration, he even boasted.

“I used to be the director of a nuclear power plant in the suburbs. I’m familiar with these kinds of things.”

“Do you know why the place was shut down?”

Su Chen asked.

Since the person in front of him was once an internal worker of the nuclear power plant, Su Chen could use him to get more information.

As the old saying goes, “If you know the enemy and yourself, you will win the battle.”

When the man found out that Su Chen wanted to know more about the nuclear power plant. he narrowed his eyes and began hatching a plan.

This rich man was just sitting in front of him.

It was an opportunity to make easy money.

He looked at Su Chen with a flattering smile.

“Sir, I know, but…”

As he spoke, he gestured with two of his fingers, a clear sign of wanting more money.

Su Chen smiled contemptuously.

He thought to himself, ‘The information provided by this man shouldn’t be fake. He’s just a typical small fry who only cares about money.’

Again, money did not matter to Su Chen. He only cared about saving time.

“I’ll add 10,000.”

Su Chen said coldly.

When the middle-aged man heard the words “ten thousand”, he immediately smiled and bowed to Su Chen.

Then, he leaned over, looked around, and whispered, “Sir, there is actually a leak at that nuclear power plant!”

Su Chen was happy to hear that but obviously, he did not show it.

“So the reason for the shutdown was because of a nuclear leak? Where’s the approximate location of the leak?”

Su Chen asked.

The middle-aged man drank a mouthful of water and continued, “It’s around the no. 3 reactor. That reactor is under the building with the highest entrance. Hey, why am I telling you this? You’re not thinking of going, are you?”

This realization stunned the middle-aged man. His eyes widened

He looked at Su Chen, then at the nuclear radiation detector on the table. 

The turn of events caught him off guard and his jaw almost fell off.

“Sir, are you going to the abandoned nuclear power plant?”

The man asked in a surprised tone.

“On the day of the accident, I barely escaped from death. The tragic scene was something I will never forget for the rest of my life.”

He added while frowning, “The cooling fluid leaked out, causing the temperature inside the reactor to rise rapidly. I reported this to the higher-ups and requested for safety measures to be taken because the consequences would be unimaginable. However, out of the two new leaders, one was full of guts while the other was self-righteous. They did not think it was necessary at all and undermined the seriousness of the situation. No matter what I said, it fell on deaf ears.”

At this point, the middle-aged man looked furious.

“The two stupid leaders actually asked the workers to repair the cracks in the pipeline even though the temperature in the reactor was getting higher and higher. In the end, before anything could be fixed, the pipeline exploded.”

Even though a lot of time had passed, the middle-aged man still felt fear whenever he talked about the incident.

“The cooling water that consists of radiation sprayed everywhere. Many workers instantly turned red and lost their lives! The government forbade this news from ever getting out to the public. Many years have passed since then, but the situation around that area is still very serious. The high radiation concentration will cause severe damage to the human body! Sir, I advise you not to go. If anything happens to you, I will feel guilty.”

The middle-aged man looked at Su Chen anxiously.

However, Su Chen just got up and threw the agreed sum of money at him.

The man was ecstatic. He quickly picked up the money and bowed to Su Chen.



Meanwhile, in the nuclear power plant, there were three teenagers.

They had snuck in there out of curiosity.

Their small bodies allowed them to get through a hole in the fence next to the gate.

Once they entered, the three teenagers felt as if they had just arrived at a new world. 

This place was nothing like they had ever seen.

“Hey, look over here. There are a bunch of unused coffee bags.”

“There’s so much equipment in this room. They looked so advanced,” said a teenager while touching the equipment.

“The adults described this place as terrifying, but there’s really nothing much,” said the older teenager.

“We’ve been here for so long and have yet to see anything that’s remotely dangerous.”

“That’s right. The adults even said that there would be mutated animals.”

Another child echoed.

“I think they lied to us. They just didn’t want us to come to such a fun place.”

One of the teenagers ran towards a pile of metal blocks.

“Look at all these shiny metal blocks here. Do you think they’ll fetch a high price?”

The three teenagers had reached the central area of the nuclear power plant. It was an empty field in front of the building.

“Look at this big empty field. Do you think we play football here? It’ll be so much fun.”

“Let’s go and take a look at that building. Maybe we can find some treasures.”

The teenagers treated this place like a playground.

They walked around nonchalantly.

In a corner not too far away, three pairs of blue eyes were watching at them..
