11: The terrifying uranium-235 atom!

"What?!"

"So this is the truth about Chernobyl in 1986? Does that mean not everyone who died was killed by radiation?"

"These people are so heartless! Why didn't they evacuate the public first?"

"You don't understand, upstairs!"

"The former Bear Country officials were afraid to take responsibility, so they deceived themselves and even their superiors!"

"Hiss..."

"Their intentions are truly damnable!"

"These people deserve to die!"

After learning the truth from Wu Tian, the people in the bullet chat were instantly filled with righteous indignation, typing furiously to denounce those high-ranking former Bear Country officials who were merely occupying their positions. Just then...

Wu Tian slowly bent down, silently spreading out the black rain tarp he had just used.

One by one, he moved the bones, which had turned black from radiation, onto the tarp.

"..."

"What is the Host going to do?"

"Is he going to collect these people's remains and bury them?"

"Possibly!"

"The Host is too kind; there's so much radiation on these remains, yet he dares to carry a pile of bones to bury them!"

"I'm so touched. I didn't expect the Host to find a burial place for these people in such a dangerous situation."

"Give the Host a shout-out!"

"Wuwuwu..."

"..."

Amidst the bullet chat's praises and emotions, Wu Tian silently gathered all the remains onto the rain tarp.

Then he folded two corners of the rain tarp and hoisted it onto his shoulder.

"Boss!"

"What are you doing?"

Rice had been silently observing Wu Tian's actions.

But when Wu Tian, carrying a rain tarp full of remains, tried to leave the carriage, Rice anxiously stopped him.

"It's all those mutated monsters outside; you can't go out!"

"Going out means certain death!"

"..."

Wu Tian slowly shook his head.

He stared at Rice without moving, and said in a calm tone.

"You know, I actually have cancer."

"..."

Rice's mouth fell open.

For a moment, a thousand words seemed to be stuck in his throat, unable to utter a single sound!

Cancer!

These two words alone outweighed all the words in the world!

They outweighed all beautiful hopes!

"This is the last stage of my life, so I want to do something meaningful."

"But..."

Wu Tian gave a self-deprecating smile.

"What is meaningful?"

"Spending money? Drowning my sorrows?"

"Or perhaps leaving my footprints in forbidden zones around the world to prove I was here?"

"I finally understand now, these..."

"Are not it!"

Wu Tian tightened his grip on the rain tarp.

He strode out of the train door.

"Life is the most beautiful thing in the world!"

"Even if it has passed, it deserves a dignified farewell!"

"You stay inside, I'm going to bury them!"

With that, Wu Tian ducked his head and slipped out of the carriage.

Leaving Rice still in a daze, watching his back, speechless for a long time... The previously boisterous bullet chat, filled with 'touched,' 'make me cry,' and similar comments, instantly vanished, and the entire live broadcast screen became empty!

After a long while... a single bullet comment slowly appeared!

"I am from Ulan Country, and on behalf of my family, I sincerely thank the Host!"

"Thank you for burying the bones of my countrymen!"

"..."

Within mere seconds.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

"..."

The entire bullet chat was devoid of anything but these two words; the casual thought of watching the Host dig a grave and bury bones, which had been in everyone's hearts, instantly vanished.

Replaced only by these two words!

Heavy yet full of humanity!

Only at this moment... did everyone in Wu Tian's live stream truly begin to reflect on the suffering caused by the distant Chernobyl nuclear reactor explosion in 1986, and the pain it brought to the people of that era!

...Wu Tian didn't see the bullet comments in the live stream; he left the train carriage on his own.

Then, step by step, he walked over to the Mutated Leopard's body, slowly squatted down, and untied the rain tarp from his back, spreading it flat on the ground.

He planned to bury these remains right here.

After all, there were hundreds of mutated beasts lurking in the distance, eyeing them menacingly.

For safety, this was the best location!

【Your suffering resonated with the pain of the deceased in this disaster. You decided to lay their remains to rest, but just as you were about to start, you discovered that the black bones of these remains had a restraining effect on mutated creatures!】

【But you face the danger of being radiated.】

【Radiation Resistance +10!】

Wu Tian was startled.

Then he turned to look at the Mutated Leopard's corpse beside him, then at the black bones in front of him, and hesitated before reaching into his pocket to pull out a radiation measuring device.

"Beep beep beep beep!"

As soon as he turned on the device, an urgent alarm sounded in Wu Tian's ears!

"200 Roentgens!"

Wu Tian was startled!

Without a protective suit, he would be killed by radiation within two hours!

Then... Wu Tian decisively moved the device towards the black remains at his feet and pressed the re-measure button!

Just one second later!

"Beep beep beep..."

The urgent alarm sounded again.

At this moment, the exposure dose displayed on the electronic screen was... "300 Roentgens!"

"Hiss..."

Wu Tian took a deep breath, simultaneously looking at his body data template in the system. In the radiation resistance column, he found all his data.

【Radiation Resistance Level: 2 (Radiation Suit +30) (+20)!】

In the system's conversion, one level can resist approximately 6 Roentgens of radiation.

So, calculated this way... Wu Tian's current maximum resistance to radiation is 312 Roentgens!

Slightly higher than the black remains.

"Hoo..."

He exhaled softly, and Wu Tian's hand instinctively loosened.

The measuring device in his hand fell into the black remains with a 'clatter'!

Under the gaze of Wu Tian and the people in the live stream.

The fallen measuring device broke off a pinky finger from one of the remains!

The pinky finger flew up.

It struck the body of the Mutated Leopard!

Then... just three seconds passed.

The spot on the Mutated Leopard's body where it was struck by the bone began to shed fur, fester, bleed, and finally revealed the stark white bones underneath!

"Hiss..."

Wu Tian gasped!

"The radiation on this pinky bone is indeed terrifying. With just one touch, it created such a large bloody hole in this leopard's body!"

"Heh heh..."

Wu Tian looked at the mutated creatures around him, who were cowering and trying to retreat, and felt a sense of relief.

He began to explain to the live stream.

"You might not know this."

"In radiation, every atom of Uranium-235 is like a bullet, moving at near light speed, penetrating all matter in its path—wood, metal, concrete, and... the human body!"

"And this leopard!"

"It was penetrated by Uranium-235 atoms far exceeding what its body could withstand."

"Forming a bloody hole!"
