Xie Xuan arrived at the Ecological Bureau half an hour earlier than usual, but as soon as she arrived at the door of the bureau, she was shocked by the rare scene.

The place where usually only Ecological Bureau staff come and go is now surrounded by men and women. They stand in the hall, talking loudly about something.

Ding Qiaoyun, who was behind the front desk, was of course the first person to be hit. She was surrounded by people in three layers.

Xie Xuan didn't dare to get close, so she grabbed a person who was also busy watching the fun and asked, "What's going on?"

"I'm not sure either. I heard it was because of an infection incident that happened yesterday," someone onlooker said uncertainly. "It seemed to be in a school? These must be parents."

Xie Xuan had a bad feeling, "I understand, thank you."

"You're welcome." The man waved his hand. "It's not like this hasn't happened before. Although there are always a few infections with huge casualties every year, those that occur in schools are the most difficult to deal with."

Xie Xuan thought of the last infection incident that happened at a light rail station, which was even larger than the one at the school. Later, she never heard of any family members of the people who died in that incident coming to the Ecological Bureau to cause trouble.

"How did you handle the previous few times?" Xie Xuan asked.

"Just treat it coldly. What else can we do?" the man said, spreading his hands. "The first principle of the Containment Department is to kill the parasites to prevent the spread of mature spores in the field. If necessary, any sacrifice is worth making."

The man sighed. "Although we have protective equipment as a backup, everyone knows that ever since the relationship between our District Six Ecological Bureau and the Ecological Organization broke down, the Ecological Organization has revoked the authorization for production technology. We've been researching the samples they left behind for so many years, but the effectiveness isn't even half as good as theirs."

This was the first time Xie Xuan heard of this, but when she thought about it carefully, she remembered that once when she came back from a mission and went to the Ecological Bureau Hospital, the doctor had inadvertently commented that the treatment agent developed by their Ecological Bureau was so useful.

I also remembered that the last time I went to 98th Street, the person who stayed in the hospital affiliated with the ecological organization said that the spores that had spread after the field matured in the subordinate hospital were blocked tightly and it took two days for them to completely disappear.

But these are not the key points now. Xie Xuan's thoughts, which had been diverted, returned to the people in front of her.

"So we can only let them make trouble here until they can no longer cause trouble on their own?" Xie Xuan asked.

The man nodded. "That's about right. After all, the Ecological Bureau can't be such a sucker and give these people compensation. This is what the insurance company should do."

At a time when infection incidents are occurring at a frequency similar to that of car accidents before Xie Xuan traveled through time, those who are infected, injured, or die will not receive official compensation, but they can receive compensation if they purchase insurance.

However, in the current situation where most insurance companies are suffering net losses and are only saved from bankruptcy by the government, these compensations are actually not much different from those issued by the government.

However, the amount of compensation will not be very high. When Xie Xuan bought employee welfare insurance for her from the Ecological Bureau, she looked at other insurance packages. The death benefits in most of the packages were less than 100,000.

It was even about the same as what Xie Xuan got for completing a C-level mission.

Xie Xuan suddenly understood the hysteria of these parents. Raising a child to the age of thirteen or fourteen in the wasteland era was not an easy task. Although education was completely free now, the most fatal thing was that children did not know the dangers of the rainy season.

Just like the little girl who went out alone on a rainy day, who brought Xie Xuan and the Ecological Bureau together.

What's more, the No. 273 Street Junior High School is a very excellent junior high school, and these parents must have high hopes for their children.

And these beautiful wishes turned into a death notice overnight, leaving not even a bone behind.

However, just because Xie Xuan understands it doesn't mean she agrees with the actions of these parents.

"Oh, I have to go," the man said reluctantly. "Luckily the rainy season is almost over, otherwise I really couldn't hold on any longer."

Xie Xuan nodded and said, "Just wait for the annual meeting after the rainy season."

I don’t know if it’s because Xie Xuan came early today, but the people who could temporarily form a team with her to carry out the mission have not yet arrived. It’s a rare opportunity for Xie Xuan not to be sent out as soon as she arrived at the Ecological Bureau.

The shelter department actually has a lounge hall on the second floor of the Ecological Bureau, but Xie Xuan never had the chance to go there. Today happened to be the chance to go and sit down.

To go upstairs, one had to pass by Ding Qiaoyun's front desk. As Xie Xuan passed the crowd surrounding Ding Qiaoyun, she heard someone shouting, "This is dereliction of duty! All three people from yesterday need to be fired!"

Ding Qiaoyun's voice was very calm as it passed through the crowd and reached Xie Xuan's ears. "If they are fired, will you take their place to collect the fungus?"

The person who spoke immediately fell silent, but was soon replaced by someone else.

Xie Xuan didn't even have the chance to make eye contact with Ding Qiaoyun at this moment. In order to avoid getting into trouble, Xie Xuan walked around them and got into the elevator.

It is impossible to say that Xie Xuan was not at all touched by the student who died in the field yesterday, but Xie Xuan believed that she had done the best she could.

She did not waste time trying to cover up her abilities. She does not think she should be held responsible for the deaths of these students, nor does she think she needs to resign.

After all, the fact that this department of the Ecological Bureau is called the Shelter Department instead of the Rescue Team is enough to explain most of the problems.

Xie Xuan threw these heavy thoughts out of her mind, and the elevator stopped on the second floor.

Completely different from the sixth and eighth floors, there are no enclosed rooms on the second floor. The pure white area appears unusually spacious due to the lack of partitions and walls.

When Xie Xuan walked out of the elevator, she was facing a huge electronic screen that displayed the ongoing mission dispatch.

There are two windows on both sides of the hall, one selling drinks and the other selling snacks. If you want to eat, you still have to go to the cafeteria.

The large area in the middle was filled with rows of long sofa seats and tables. Because it was still early, not many people were sitting on the sofas.

After Xie Xuan sat down, the interface on the desktop was automatically activated. On the left was an advertisement for the beverage window, on the right was an advertisement for the snack window, and in the middle were various news items being played in turn.

Xie Xuan was just about to see what was available to drink when the middle interface jumped and a list appeared.

The three concise words "Reward List" on the list should be the reward area that Ding Qiaoyun mentioned before.

Xie Xuan clicked on it curiously. The ninth name from the top was a familiar name to Xie Xuan, Bal, followed by a string of zeros that were too numerous to count at a glance.

Apart from this name, Xie Xuan had never heard of any other names.
