Chapter 88
Unlike the base in H City, there is no one waiting at the entrance of the base here to volunteer as a "tour guide" to earn some tips.
Because there are very few new people in the base, even if new people come, they will be quickly taken over and assigned tasks by the official.
Everyone in the Yi Guang base has his or her own position, from the elderly to the children, even a child, has to complete some simple packaging work.
This sense of order, like that of an ant society, led to the peaceful and orderly scene that Wen Bei saw at this moment.
It feels completely different from the messy and noisy atmosphere of the H City base.
Qiu Tinge took Wen Bei to a hotel. The receptionist was a girl with brown hair and some pockmarks on her face. When she saw two handsome guys walking towards her, she couldn't help but show some excitement on her face: "Do you want a door to the room?"
Qiu Tingle grabbed a handful of crystals and placed them on top: "I want a door."
The girl counted the crystals and asked, "You're staying for five days?"
Qiu Tinge said nonchalantly: "Yeah."
Wen Bei glanced at the girl's name tag on her chest, which read: Sparrow.
Sparrow noticed his gaze and smiled sheepishly: "I lost my memory due to pollution, and I chose my name myself."
It was a very casual name, but it surprisingly fits her chattering personality.
But because of her amnesia, Sparrow seemed more lively and enthusiastic than the others in Yiguang, who were cold and indifferent after being ravaged by the apocalypse. She scratched her head and said, "But I ate poisonous mushrooms and suddenly became a polluter from an ordinary person. It can be considered a blessing in disguise. I'm the only one who survived among those who ate the same batch of poisonous mushrooms as me."
She spoke frankly, as if eating poison was a very common thing.
Wen Bei felt a little strange, but remained expressionless and said casually, "Sometimes it's nice to be an ordinary person."
He was so perceptive that he observed everyone along the way. Everyone he saw had a serious degree of deformation. Even the sparrow had anti-gravity hair, which was tied into braids and floated up.
All this shows that all he saw along the way were polluters.
Given the proportion of polluters in the human population, this is almost impossible.
Even if the Yi Guang base does not take in ordinary people, according to the law of reproduction, newborns are almost all ordinary people. They only have the chance to become polluters if they encounter pollution sources later in life, so the number of ordinary people can never be less than that of polluters.
Thinking about the looks he had just received along the way, Wen Bei reasonably suspected that in this base, the living areas for ordinary people and polluters were separated.
As expected, the innocent Sparrow looked very shocked. She didn't see Wen Bei's temptation at all, and said carelessly: "What's so good about being an ordinary person..."
Before he could finish his words, a loud shout came from behind him.
A bald dwarf rushed out, looking menacing. "Sparrow, you're chatting instead of working again!? Did you mop the floor today?"
The sparrow was startled and said, "I'll go right away."
Then he quickly handed the room card to Qiu Ting and ran away without looking back.
"If I hadn't asked her to come over, I wouldn't have hired such a stupid employee." The short bald man complained and looked them over.
His gaze paused when he fell on Wen Bei.
Qiu Cheng's red eyes always reveal an evil nature, and with the black mist surrounding him from time to time, no one would doubt his identity as a polluter, just as no one would think that Wen Bei was not an ordinary person.
The short bald man coughed softly and said, "Although some people like to do this, I still want to remind you that if you bring ordinary people into Area A without permission and are reported, you will be severely punished."
Wen Bei casually used his supernatural powers to control a cup and threw it to the ground, a hint of displeasure emerging in his eyes. "I am also a polluter."
He always has a somewhat noble temperament, but with a slight change, he can become an itchy arrogance.
The short bald man was shocked and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Wen Bei didn't say anything. He walked upstairs with a stern face without any explanation.
If you don't explain at this time, he will just come up with many reasons.
He was not angry either. After all, although the bald boss's reminder looked harsh, it was actually well-intentioned.
It also made him realize that he was indeed in some danger.
He has special abilities, so he's not afraid of being reported, but he's worried that there will be problems verifying his identity after being reported.
It is still unknown whether the identity card that Qiu Tin secretly obtained can withstand verification.
He didn't want to rashly reveal his purpose to the higher-ups of the base. After all, there was something strange and inconsistent about this base.
Wen Bei sat on the bed in the hotel. The bed here was different from the one in the hotel. It was not soft at all. Fortunately, the quilt and pillows looked clean.
He showed a somewhat distressed expression. The man who had been playing with his fingers beside him tilted his head and said, "Just change your image."
Wen Bei glanced at him: "Change your image?"
With his temperament, even if he dyes his hair and wears colored contact lenses, he will still be mistaken for an ordinary person if he has no other obvious deformities.
Qiu Tinge took out something thin from his pocket and asked, "Try this?"
Wen Bei's expression was blank for a moment. He stared at the familiar object in Qiu Tin's hand: "Why... do you have this?"
That is a □□.
It suddenly reminded Wen Bei of the □□ he had worn in order to infiltrate the black market at the H City base.
The mask not only changed his appearance, but also gave him cat ears and a cat tail. The furry ears and tail with synesthesia made him very sensitive for a time.
Qiu Tinge curled the corners of his lips and said, "I thought it might be useful in the future, so I asked the polluter for an extra mask."
Wen Bei's eyes changed from surprise to suspicion and finally to a pool of stagnant water: "You did it on purpose."
He still remembered the time when he was bullied by having his cat ears rubbed and felt helpless and unable to resist.
He definitely wouldn't want to grow cat ears again.
Qiu Tinge saw through his thoughts and was not anxious: "Don't worry, this is not a cat ear or cat tail."
Wen Bei looked skeptical: "Really?"
"real."
The clock inside the room ticked away, and five minutes passed. Wen Bei thought about other more convenient and simple methods in his mind, but in the end he had to take the mask and put it on his face.
At that moment, Wen Bei felt an itch on the top of his head and his tailbone also felt strange.
His eyes were dull for a moment, and he gritted his teeth: "Revenge, tincture?"
Qiu Tinge went to find a mirror and gave it to him, saying innocently, "This time it's really not a kitten, it's a little fox."
I couldn't help but say the last half sentence with a smile.
Wenbei: “…”
The face in the mirror was still his original face, without any changes this time. The only difference was that he had grown furry, flame-colored fox ears and a big, fluffy tail with a tuft of white at the tip.
Sensing its owner's mood, the big tail drooped unhappily.
Qiu Tin took a look and couldn't help but touch the big tail.
Bang--
A sudden sound came from the door of the room, and the sparrow that was mopping the floor outside was frightened and ran away.
The two people inside the room stared at each other.
Qiu Ting covered his abdomen and smiled helplessly: "You are so cruel."
Of course he could have dodged the punch, but in order to touch the tail, he still took it with his own body.
Wen Bei did not hold back at all. He was an adult male with normal strength. In addition, he had soaked in a hot spring before and used a bath ball that could enhance his strength. If it were an ordinary person with weaknesses, his ribs might have been broken by this punch.
Qiu Tin cooperated by showing an expression of pain.
Even though he knew that with his physical strength, this punch would not hurt him at all, Wen Bei was still strangely comforted.
He showed a cold expression: "Don't touch me again."
Little did he know that the triangular ears on his head, which had been bent into the shape of airplane ears, had completely weakened his ferocity, as if his hair had stood on end.
Qiu Ting's hands were itching again. He wanted to touch those furry ears, even if it meant getting punched a few more times.
Unfortunately, before he could put his plan into action, Wen Bei had already turned around, his tail twitching unhappily: "Go downstairs, I want to see what the system of this base is."
Qiu Tingle retracted his gaze: "Yeah."
Don't worry, there are still many opportunities.
This time the mask won’t disappear for half a month.
They arrived at the hotel. When the short bald man saw Wen Bei's sudden extra ears and tail, he was only surprised for a moment, but soon returned to normal: "Are you going out?"
Wen Bei turned around and looked at him: "Do you provide dinner here?"
The short bald man shook his head. Feeling guilty for mistaking him for an ordinary person, he couldn't help but say something extra: "Don't come back too late."
Wenbei: “Curfew?”
Previously, there was a curfew in some areas of the H City base in order to prevent polluters from getting angry at night and fighting with ordinary people, resulting in the latter being injured.
The short bald man was stunned for a moment, misunderstood. "Our hotel has no restrictions. You can open it at any time as long as you use the room card. It's just that many people died in the recent Red Blood Incident. It's best not to come back too late."
Red blood incident?
Wen Bei took note of this matter. From his boss's attitude, he immediately understood that there was no curfew in this base.
At least not in Area A.
Wen Bei walked out, his big furry tail swaying constantly as he thought, making it particularly conspicuous.
With such a conspicuous tail and ears, it attracts fewer glances on the road.
Occasionally, one or two people would look at him, simply because he was pleasing to the eye.
However, Qiu Ding was always by his side, and no one dared to come and talk to him.
They found a restaurant that looked no different from before the apocalypse. It was decorated very luxuriously and had a modern feel. There was a brand new revolving door at the entrance, and the crystal chandelier on the ceiling emitted warm light.
Unlike the H City base, which is full of small civilian restaurants with only small stools and tables, there is no such noisy place here.
After they entered, a waiter immediately appeared in front of them and handed them a menu. Wen Bei could understand all the words on it, but when they put them together, he couldn't understand what they meant.
What is eggplant stewed with yogurt? What is fried mutant clams with old tree roots?
Wen Bei pinched his eyebrows, regretting not bringing more instant noodles from his hotel.
He could only order a few dishes that sounded "normal".
While waiting for the food to be served, I heard a quiet conversation from the table next to me.
"Today...someone died again."
Wen Bei's expression paused, and the furry fox ears on his head unconsciously stood up and moved to the side.
