A tall, thin man with grizzled hair sat on the third bed in the ward.
He had his back to the door and was looking out the window at a pine tree. It was hard to tell what he was thinking, but when the head nurse called his name, he paused for a few seconds before slowly turning his head around.
This was also the first time Zhang Heng had seen Katarov (he had only glanced at him from the corridor outside the ward.) This was a name that would be inescapable once Chernobyl was mentioned in the future, with many news editorials regarding him as the first person responsible for the accident at the nuclear power plant. In those articles, he was described as an arrogant, greedy, and stupid leader.
However, Zhang Heng could not see much from Katarov for the time being. The man in front of him had a well-defined face, deep-set eyes, and a dull gaze.
