Chapter 220 Frontline Radiation Situation

A series of precise figures gave Lin Mo a clearer understanding of the terror of that mushroom cloud.

With a temperature of 50 million degrees Celsius and an absolute lethal range of 1,000 meters, it should be able to kill that demon leader, right?

But Lin Mo wasn't sure; who knew if the other party had dodged in time?

If it's just a serious injury, we need to quickly heal the wounds.

No, it's nuclear radiation!

Thinking of this, Lin Mo immediately looked at Long Zhan and asked:

"How many kilometers away was the demon leader from our position at that time?"

"Besides the explosive power, the most terrifying thing about nuclear bombs is the nuclear radiation. I'm worried about the soldiers..."

Long Zhan remained silent for a moment.

"I chose an airburst, which would produce far less radioactive fallout, with the main radiation range being about 15 kilometers."

Seeing that the other party was avoiding the question, Lin Mo frowned and continued to press for an answer:

"How many kilometers away were the demons from us at that time?"

"It's about twenty kilometers away from us." Long Zhan pursed his lips.

"Nuclear radiation is within a controllable range."

"I have ordered that potassium iodide tablets and other anti-radiation drugs be distributed to all personnel."

If there's wind, the area affected by nuclear radiation will be larger, and frontline soldiers will be closer...

He didn't say those words aloud.

Note: There are several types of nuclear bombs, such as atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, neutron bombs, three-phase bombs, induced radiation bombs, shock wave bombs, etc., which are too complicated. For the sake of easy reading and understanding, we will use ordinary nuclear bombs here. Just detonate and that's it. Don't worry about the specific parameters and radiation, etc.

After listening, Lin Mo didn't say anything more, turned around and quickly walked out of the temporary command post.

Because the expeditionary force was so large and the battle lines were spread out so far, the soldiers on the front lines might be within the radiation range!

He found a Mengshi off-road vehicle parked nearby and said to the soldier in the driver's seat:

"To the front lines!"

The vehicle started and headed towards the core area of ​​the battlefield.

Kyle, Elder Muyu, the dwarves, and others followed behind.

They also wanted to see the situation on the front lines and get the latest news as soon as possible.

The front lines were in complete disarray.

The vehicle stopped, and the group stepped onto this land that had just experienced a major battle.

Although it was more than 15 kilometers from the explosion center, the weakened shockwave still swept through the area with strong winds.

The ground was covered with broken branches, sand and gravel, and various limbs and fragments belonging to the demon race, mixed in with countless craters of different sizes, a scene of utter devastation.

The steel wreckage of the tank was twisted into bizarre shapes, and thick black smoke rose from the torn armor.

The ground was covered with craters of all sizes, mixed with the broken limbs of the demons, creating a hellish scene.

Medics in radiation suits carried stretchers through the ruins, or carefully carried wounded comrades out of overturned armored vehicles and tank wreckage.

Thorin Steelbeard's heavy boots creaked as they stepped onto a charred metal plate.

He looked down and saw that it used to be the thickest armor on the front of the tank.

He looked around, and his eyes, which always flashed with anger and irritability, were now serious.

Kyle frowned.

"I can feel a lingering toxin around me."

Upon hearing this, Elder Muyu carefully sensed the sensations and then nodded.

"That's right, a very strange power. I can feel it. There's an invisible force in the air that's eroding all life."

"This kind of power has never appeared since the previous battles against the demons. Have they developed a new type of soldier?"

Lin Mo ignored them. He noticed that soldiers in full protective suits were holding instruments and testing something on the position.

He stepped forward and stopped the soldier:

"Is this a radiation test? What's the current radiation level?"

Upon recognizing Lin Mo, the soldier immediately stood at attention and reported:

"Reporting, sir! Most areas here are within safe limits; taking anti-radiation medication will prevent any issues. Only a small portion of the area has radiation levels reaching 2,000 microsieverts per hour!"

"Some of the debris and soil ejected from the explosion may have even higher radiation levels!"

Lin Mo: "If the soldiers were exposed to this dose of radiation, how severe would the impact be?"

The soldier replied:

"In the short term, the main symptoms are nausea and fatigue, but in the long term, it can cause damage to the hematopoietic system, such as a sharp drop in white blood cells and internal bleeding."

"If you are hit by highly radioactive debris and dust from the epicenter of the explosion, you may immediately experience severe vomiting, diarrhea, or even death."

Lin Mo's brows furrowed even deeper.

It seems that Long Zhan underestimated the impact of nuclear radiation spread.

Compared to the despairing oppression brought by that seventh-tier demon lord, this impact and loss was nothing to Long Zhan.

Lin Mo could understand Long Zhan and accept Long Zhan's ideas as a commander.

After all, opportunities are fleeting, and if you're confident you can hit the target, you can't afford to worry about anything else.

At that moment, Lin Mo saw a soldier being helped away by his comrade, limping away not far away.

Lin Mo stepped forward,

"Don't move!"

After saying that, ignoring the other person's astonished face, he began to chant a magic spell in a low voice—Holy Light Healing.

A soft white light enveloped the soldier.

The wound on his leg healed at a visible speed, and his pale face quickly regained its color.

The soldier tried moving his leg and found that the pain was completely gone. A look of ecstatic joy appeared on his face.

"Commander! Thank you, Commander!"

He shouted excitedly as he checked his legs.

Then, as if remembering something, he suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Mo with a "plop" and kowtowed.

"Commander!"

The soldier looked up, his voice already trembling with tears, his eyes red-rimmed.

"Please, please, save my squad leader!"

"He was hit in the chest by a rock that fell from the sky while saving me. He's seriously injured and unconscious, and he's dying!"

Lin Mo's heart felt as if it had been violently clenched by that plea.

Seeing the soldier kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down his face, he quickly reached out and helped him up.

"lead the way."

Upon hearing those two words, the soldiers grasped at them as if they were their only lifeline, and scrambled forward to lead the way.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

The medical area was located behind the front lines, and the air was filled with the smells of blood, burnt food, and disinfectant.

The ground was covered with stretchers, and the suppressed wails blended into a heart-wrenching noise.

Kyle and the others following behind Lin Mo also had serious expressions.

"What a bizarre 'toxin'," Kyle frowned and whispered to Elder Muyu beside him.

"It's eroding life, but I can't sense any dark or cursed elements."

Elder Mu Yu's eyes, which had seen countless vicissitudes of life, were filled with fear. He closed his eyes and sensed it, his beard trembling slightly.

"No, this isn't poison, this is... decay!"

"The vitality of this land is being erased by an unseen force."

At this moment, the soldier leading the way rushed up to a nurse wearing a radiation protection suit and asked urgently:

"My squad leader! Where is my squad leader? The one who was hit in the chest by a rock and is unconscious!"

Upon hearing this, the nurse wearing a mask pointed to a large, solitary tent not far away.

"Isolation area." The nurse's voice carried a warning.

"The people there have all been exposed to excessive radiation. You can't go there; you'll get infected."

However, Lin Mo ignored him and walked straight in that direction...
