The drive to chernobyl was a nightmare. The truck I was put in was uncomfortable, the man I was put with to drive me there was an unemotional sociopath named Boris trondov and the smell of chernobyl could be sensed for miles.
We finally managed to arrive and we decided to set up camp just outside the exclusion zone and have monitors assembled to check for contamination by radiation.
After getting set up military arrived to assist the operation and provide security
The forest is filled to the brim with wild animals. The soldiers patrolled the area, each carrying a kalashnikov or a PPSH 41 with a macarov in holster, they looked more like Russian soldiers than Ukrainian.
Once everything was set up, we put on our gear and took a ride deep into the exclusion zone.
It took a while to get to the unexplored areas but we made it unharmed. Then, we heard the dreaded sound. The geiger counter was detecting large amounts of radiation the truck quickly shut its doors and sped off to a safer, less irradiated place and we were to fall back to said place if things went wrong.
Knowing that they had reserved an area to fall back on, the soldiers carrying assault rifles and the deepness of the area in the exclusion zone should have told me everything. Having the flags of Canada, Denmark, Switzerland, Nepal and the Isle of Man would be less red flags but I wanted to do something that got me out of the office with vlad.
Yet the worst was still to come.
