Just after Song Yue finished roughly explaining his ideas, two more survivors arrived outside the building.
"Is anyone there? If so, could you please open the door?"
A young woman was leaning against the glass door, her eyes rolling around.
"There shouldn't be anyone here. Look, it's so empty in here..." The boy next to him stood by, muttering and observing.
"Are you stupid?" the young woman turned her head and glanced at the boy. "Didn't you see what was burned over there? It's all human bones and those disgusting bugs. What does this mean? It means there are people in the medical center! And they have strong self-protection capabilities! Hey, hurry up, take pictures with me, they will definitely come out!"
After saying that, he clapped his hands again.
The young man couldn't resist the woman, so he frowned and raised his hand reluctantly.
After a while, several people appeared on the stairs.
The woman was ecstatic and banged on the glass even harder: "Come and open the door! Hurry up!"
Song Yue frowned slightly, walked slowly to the glass door, and asked, "Where did you come from?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then grinned and said, "I came from the xx Hotel."
Song Yue glanced at the boy: "Who is the person next to him?"
Woman: "My brother."
Song Yue withdrew her gaze and wandered over the woman's body. Finally, she paused on her wrist for half a second and asked calmly, "Where did you get the gold chain on your wrist?"
A trace of panic flashed in the woman's eyes. "Why are you asking this? You don't own this building, so where do you get all these names from?"
Susan blinked, not quite understanding why Song Yue was paying attention to other people's bracelets.
But on second thought, Song Yue has never been a person who asks meaningless questions or does meaningless things. Since she asked this, she must have her reasons.
So even though she was suspicious, Susan didn't say anything and just watched quietly.
Bruce, standing nearby, was also quite puzzled. Hadn't they clearly said they were going to accommodate the survivors upstairs? Why were two people coming now, and they wouldn't let them in?
Following Song Yue's words, he looked at the woman's bracelet and stared at it for a while. Suddenly, he seemed to think he had seen this chain somewhere before.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Song Yue speak first: "If you don't mind, can you take off your bracelet and let me see it?"
The woman's expression gradually became wary. Her voice deepened, her face sullen. "What on earth are you trying to do? One moment you're asking us where we're from, the next you're looking at my bracelet. I'll patiently tell you one last time: let me and my brother in."
How can you be so arrogant when asking for help from others?
Susan, who had previously felt quite sympathetic towards the two, now felt a little uncomfortable.
She glanced at the other person unhappily, and her eyes finally fell on Song Yue.
"You don't dare to give me the gold bracelet, right?" Song Yue stared at the woman with burning eyes, her expression a little more playful.
The woman gritted her teeth in anger. "What's there to be afraid of?! I just don't want to give you my things! What if you just take them and walk away? I won't even have anyone to talk to!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the young man beside her lowered his head and called softly: "...Sister... let's go..."
The woman turned her head and cursed, "Shut up! You eat my food and use my things, but now not only are you not helping your sister, you're even hindering her! I'm really fed up. How can I have a brother like you who's such a burden?"
Still not satisfied after saying that, he slammed his fists on the glass door and bared his teeth at Song Yue: "Let us in!"
Song Yue was not affected by the other party at all. Instead, she raised the corners of her lips and said meaningfully: "Since you are unwilling to hand it over, then I will tell you directly.
First of all, you are not a tourist at xx Hotel. The specific evidence is that the room card sticking out of your brother's pocket says Z Hotel, not XX.
Secondly, after you and your brother left Hotel Z, you went to Hotel XX and even to Room 503. Why am I so sure? Because the gold bracelet on your hand was worn by a resident of Room 503.
503!
Susan was stunned for a moment.
Isn't that Lucy's room number?!
So... the woman in front of me entered Lucy's room after the insect outbreak and stole her personal belongings?!
The look in her eyes when she looked at the woman instantly turned angry. She wanted to rush out and pull the bracelet off the woman!
However, even after being exposed, the woman still insisted on defending herself: "Haha, the room card was found by my brother, and the bracelet was bought by me. What right do you have to slander me?"
Song Yue looked at her as if she were a clown.
After a moment, seeing that the other party still refused to give in, he sighed, walked to the glass door, unlocked it, pushed it open, and said, "Since you won't give in, then I'll have to use force."
As soon as the words fell, the woman stared with her eyes wide open. Before she could react to what the other party was going to do, she saw a hand grab her arm and pull it up hard. The other hand quickly grabbed the bracelet and flicked it lightly with its fingers. The gold bracelet instantly fell into the other party's palm!
"Give it back to me! This is mine! Someone come here! This is robbery in broad daylight! Is there any law?" The woman screamed at the top of her voice, and pounced on Song Yue, trying to snatch the things back.
Ordinary people who have not received any training are no match for Song Yue.
Song Yue just leaned slightly to the side and easily avoided the attack.
The woman bumped into the glass and her head swelled up immediately. Song Yue took the opportunity to sneak into the hall and locked the door again with a click of her backhand.
Song Yue looked at the woman coldly. Through the glass, she placed the bracelet in front of her eyes and said word by word, "This chain has the letters Lucy engraved on it. Lucy is my colleague who lives in room 503. I live next door to her, in room 505."
What……? !
The woman stared at the man in front of her in disbelief, hatred dripping out like blood.
"The gold bracelet is mine! It's mine! She's dead, why can't I have it? You selfish people, don't you just want to monopolize the building? I curse you to death, all of you go to hell!" Unable to defend herself and being exposed, the woman simply gave up and cursed them with gritted teeth.
Susan watched the entire process from the side, her expression changing from initial confusion to realization and finally anger. She stood in front of the woman, trying her best to suppress her anger: "Even if they are deceased, the ownership of the items belongs to them, not you! You are the one who broke the law, how dare you criticize others?!"
Bruce was also furious. This woman's shameless behavior reminded him of the group of female colleagues who bullied him. He couldn't help but feel angry, so he stood up and accused her, "If you had been more honest, we wouldn't have blocked you out! Since you refuse to admit it, don't blame us for not taking you in!"
The woman was furious and clenched her fists tightly. She wanted to curse something else, but suddenly, she saw a black figure crawling towards her out of the corner of her eye!
"Sister! It's a big black bug!" The boy's face turned pale and he stepped back step by step.
The woman panicked and pounded on the glass door like crazy, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Let us in! Let us in quickly!"
Song Yue looked at her coldly and asked, "Now tell me, whose bracelet is it?"
"What's yours is yours, all of it is yours! Open the door quickly!" The woman slapped the door in panic, looking to the side from time to time.
Seeing the black bug getting closer and closer to her, and the person inside the door just looking at her coldly, with no sign of opening the door, and even looking like he wanted to see her make a fool of herself, her hatred suddenly became like a rage.
She kicked the door in frustration, cursing Song Yue for a horrible death, then turned around instantly, grabbed her brother, and ran away!
How could the black bugs let go of the fat meat that was right in their mouths? They all turned around and some even spread their wings and flew up from the ground. For a moment, the ground and the sky were all dark, which made the people inside the door feel numb.
However, even though they felt numb, Susan and Bruce didn't feel a bit of sympathy.
This is what that woman deserves.
Wouldn’t it be better to tell the truth and admit your mistakes earlier?
How could they dare to accept someone who would not give in until the last second?
"Oh, I just pity her brother." Susan shook her head regretfully. "He looks quite young, probably only fifteen or sixteen. It's really unlucky for him to have a sister like that."
"I don't think it's pitiful," Bruce held a different opinion. "Under the influence of a sister like this, I don't believe that child's mind is that good. Maybe if he keeps in touch with her for a long time, his character will be exposed."
Both of their words made sense. Song Yue did not refute them, but only said, "The medical center only accepts people with good character. Remember this."
Susan and Bruce nodded vigorously: "Yeah, don't worry, we know!"
When they heard her talk about the admission standards upstairs, they didn't have any particularly obvious feelings about it. Now that they have experienced this woman, they understand that if people with bad character are allowed in, they don't know how much potential danger it will bring to the medical center.
They would rather be tough at the beginning and conduct thorough investigations rather than let dangerous elements sneak in.
After the woman and the boy escaped, Song Yue looked outside and found no other survivors, so she took Susan and Bruce upstairs.
But what she didn't know was that in a small shed a few dozen meters away from the medical center, three pairs of eyes were flashing.
"Brother, it seems they don't accept anyone. Look at that girl and boy, they're crying and making a fuss but they won't let them in."
"I know. I saw it."
"Should we go over and ask?"
"Ask, of course I have to ask!"
The man took a deep breath and looked around. "Those black bugs have chased the woman. It should be safe outside now. You two stay here for now. I'll go ask around."
What if, what if they can get in?
The man thought so.
As long as there is a chance, he will fight for it.
As he said this, he crawled out from under the shed and walked towards the medical center quietly.
Song Yue had just sat down when she heard another knock on the door downstairs.
Song Yue: ...
If I had known earlier, I would have waited a little longer.
There was no way. My butt wasn’t even warm yet and I was busy getting up and going downstairs.
Susan followed, as did Bruce.
Seeing a dark-skinned, muscular man standing outside the door, Song Yue asked the same question: "Where are you from?"
The man answered without hesitation: "Beach."
Song Yue: "Alone?"
The man shook his head: "No, there are two more people, both of them are my subordinates."
Song Yue: "Where is he?"
The man turned around and pointed to the messy shed behind him: "He's hiding in there."
Song Yue nodded and asked, "What did you do before? Do you have any special skills?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then said, "I'm a beach security guard, captain, with five years of security experience. As for my skills, I know grappling, fighting, and wrestling. I wonder if those would be enough for me?"
Yes, of course! I'm worried that I don't have anyone with this skill to come to me.
Song Yue was delighted, but her expression remained calm. "Okay, you and the other two come in."
The man's face lit up with joy. He didn't expect to be let in so easily?!
Why is it different from the woman’s experience just now?
Although confused, the man was very happy and quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I'll go call them right away. Thank you, girl!"
He ran back happily, squatted down, and said something to the two people in the shed. Soon, the two squatting boys stood up, each with surprise on their face, and quickly followed the man to the gate.
Song Yue let the person in, and suddenly, an indescribable sour smell hit her nose, like sauerkraut taken out of a kimchi jar. She couldn't help but wrinkle her nose.
Seeing her reaction, the sturdy man took a few steps back and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, we haven't showered for three days, so we smell a little bit..."
Song Yue waved her hand: "It's okay, you guys go to the innermost toilet on the second floor to clean up first, I'll come out later to talk to you about something."
"Okay, let's go right away." The man quickly called his two subordinates and went straight to the second floor.
Half an hour later, Song Yue called them into an office.
The three of them sat down awkwardly, feeling quite nervous.
Song Yue smiled and said, "Don't be so formal. I just want to ask, are you willing to continue working as security guards?"
"Huh?" The sturdy man was stunned, very surprised. "Continue...working as a security guard?"
Song Yue nodded. "Yes, as you can see, this building is very suitable for use as a shelter. We are now planning to take in survivors from outside. However, as the number of people taken in increases, we will definitely need specialized personnel to maintain order. You have relevant experience, and I think you are very suitable for this. Well, as for wages, I really don't have the money to pay you. But I can guarantee that as long as you stay in this building, you won't have to worry about food, accommodation, and medical treatment."
Who needs a salary in this situation? The man thought, it can’t buy peace of mind, how can it compare to the medical building in front of me?
The man knew exactly how good this deal was, but he still couldn't believe such a good thing could happen on the island. He swallowed hard and tentatively confirmed, "Is everything you said...true?"
Song Yue smiled slightly: "It's true."
Hearing this, the man sat up straight and said, "Okay, I have no problem being the security guard of this building!"
Very good. Song Yue smiled and turned around, looking at her two subordinates: "Where are you two?"
The two boys tensed up: !!!
When they first heard that there would be food and accommodation, they were very interested, but when they saw that the girl in front of them only asked about the team leader and not them, they felt embarrassed to interrupt.
When asked this question, he nodded rapidly, fearing that he would miss the chance if he answered too late.
"I do!"
"I do, too!"
"Okay, here is paper and pen, register your basic information." Song Yue said, taking out an A4 paper that had been cut in half in advance from the drawer and handed it over.
The three of them buried their heads and finished writing the content carefully.
When Song Yue took it back, she saw that the man with a strong physique was called Song Bochen, 28 years old.
She also gave her name: "Song Yue, temporary agent of the medical center."
Song Bochen's eyes lit up immediately: "Hey, your last name is Song too? We have the same last name, what a coincidence~"
After saying that, he suddenly felt a little abrupt, scratched the back of his head quickly, and smiled awkwardly.
Look at him, he was so happy that he forgot they just met.
On this day, the medical center welcomed new survivors one after another.
In the mission panel, the number of survivors slowly increased from 6 at the beginning to 15.
At this rate, it should be completed in less than 2 weeks.
That night, Song Yue pulled up the quilt and fell asleep warmly in the single room she had chosen.
The next day, which was the fourth day of the dungeon, Song Yue decided to open up the cafeteria next door.
The food problem can't be delayed any longer. There are 15 mouths to feed in the building now, and the stored food will soon be eaten up.
The cafeteria and the medical center are connected by a fully enclosed corridor. When she went out wearing protective clothing and carrying a flamethrower, she did not see any black bugs in the corridor.
But after walking along the corridor into the cafeteria, I immediately found that black bugs were flying everywhere, and there were many corpses lying on the ground that had been eaten beyond recognition.
The scene was depressing, but it was nothing to Song Bochen and Bruce. Before they came to the medical center, they had seen scenes even more terrifying than this, so both of them were relatively calm when facing the scene before them.
The cafeteria is divided into two floors, and the area of a single floor is only half the size of the medical hall.
In general, the area that needed to be cleaned was much smaller than that of the medical center. It took the three people just over an hour to thoroughly clean the cafeteria.
The doors and windows were locked as usual, leaving no entrance or exit.
Song Yue went to the kitchen and took a look. She found that there were a total of 8 refrigerators, each of which was full of food. There should be no problem getting through the first two weeks.
As for the four surrounding areas...
Song Yue walked around the cafeteria again, intending to see if there was anything else to stock up on. Unexpectedly, she actually found a great place!
Passing by a window of the toilet, she unexpectedly discovered a small shed outside.
The shed was covered with transparent plastic sheeting. Due to the thunderstorms in the previous two days, the sheeting had all fallen to the ground. The wooden poles supporting the shed were also crooked, and it looked like it was about to fall over.
Even so, Song Yue recognized at a glance that this was a greenhouse for growing vegetables!
In the previous copy, she had already acquired experience in planting and cultivating, and was now very familiar with the greenhouse.
She quickly found a side door and slipped out.
After some inspection, I found that the soil was very fertile.
And more importantly, she discovered that there was a countdown on each seed or vegetable.
For example, a half-grown cherry tomato has a string of cartoon numbers floating on it: 00:58:45
For example, a potato buried in the soil has a mark on its slightly exposed flesh: 03:13:07
Does this mean...how much time is left before it's ripe for picking?
【Return to the host, it is】
The system's voice suddenly sounded, startling Song Yue.
[In addition, to adapt to the conditions of this instance, the maturity period of all seeds has been accelerated. Please pay attention to the countdown and pick the seeds when they are ripe.]
Song Yue:!!!
Isn't this a ready-made cheat? It speeds up ripening and harvesting, so even if the number of people in the shelter increases, this piece of farmland will always have a constant supply!
Feeling quite excited, Song Yue walked around the farmland and found that the time on a piece of vegetable field was 00:00:00.
That means harvestable!
So he hurriedly called Song Bochen and Bruce.
The two people looked at the fresh green vegetables and were equally surprised!
Song Bochen: "It turns out the cafeteria has its own greenhouse!"
Bruce: "Now we can be self-sufficient!"
From what they said, it seemed that the countdown could not be seen. Song Yue had an idea in mind and decided to keep this secret.
"Wait," Song Bochen suddenly changed the subject, "We don't seem to have any seeds?"
Bruce was stunned: "Ah...it really is..."
Their joyful mood suddenly dropped, and the two people looked at the farmland that could have been developed sustainably, feeling quite melancholy.
However, the next second, Song Yue's voice reached his ears: "Don't worry about the seeds, I have them."
Both of them turned their heads at the same time:???
Song Bochen: Aren't you an agent of the medical center? How come you still have seeds?
Bruce was even more surprised: "Sister, aren't you an office clerk? When did you start dealing with agricultural products?"
Both of them had their doubts, but they were very united and did not ask them out loud.
One felt that if he asked too many questions, he might lose his well-paid security job; the other believed that the fact that she was in charge of the entire hospital meant that she had already made preparations. As colleagues, she had never been talkative before, so he had no reason to pry into her affairs now.
The three men erected the fallen greenhouse again and added a few more pillars to prevent it from being blown over again during the next thunderstorm.
After doing all this, Song Yue took them back.
The ingredients were available, but someone who could cook was needed. Song Yue asked Susan to make some inquiries, and found that none of the 15 existing people had a background as a chef or farmer.
Then we can only wait a little longer. If we can’t find a suitable person within three days, we will have to take turns farming and cooking.
The days passed one by one, and three days later, on the seventh day of the dungeon, a family of all ages arrived at the medical center.
This family is quite capable as they were able to survive the threat of insects for seven days.
Song Yue stood by and let Bruce conduct the routine questioning (he was now in charge of this work).
"Where are you from?" he asked businesslike.
Host: "Hotel Z."
"What did you do before? Do you have any special skills?"
The man hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm the head chef at Hotel Z. I have nine years of experience as a chef."
Bruce's eyes lit up and he looked at Song Yue.
Song Yue nodded at him, meaning to continue.
So the latter said seriously, "Where are your family members? What are they good at?"
Hearing his serious question, the hostess took her husband's hand and answered unconfidently: "I... used to be a nanny, and I can take care of babies under 3 years old."
Behind the hostess were two elderly people. They looked at each other, rubbing their hands together, and said stiffly, "My husband and I don't have any skills. We can only carry manure and farm..."
After saying this, he lowered his head, as if he felt embarrassed to do so.
Finally, a little girl was left, about seven or eight years old. She blinked her dark eyes and looked at Song Yue with longing and fear: "I, I can cut paper and make dolls..."
There was blood on the little girl's arm, and a few drops dripped down as she spoke.
Noticing Song Yue's gaze on their daughter, the woman hurriedly said, "It's not a serious illness! My daughter wasn't bitten by an insect! She just got bruised while running away!"
Song Yue hummed and said to Bruce, "Please invite them in."
Except for the little girl, the skills of the others are all urgently needed now, so she has no reason not to want them.
After the people came in, Bruce picked up the intercom in his hand and said, "Susan, there are five people coming. They are all family. Please receive them."
Now one of them is responsible for inquiries and the other is responsible for arranging check-in.
Song Bochen found the walkie-talkies in the security room. After tinkering with them for a while, he found that they were all usable, so he distributed them to several key managers.
After hearing Bruce's words, Susan's voice came from the other end of the intercom: "Okay, got it, I'll be right down!"
Thump thump, thump thump.
Not long after, the new family saw a young girl running up to them and said with a smile, "Come, follow me upstairs. There are rooms on the sixth floor and you can stay together. Also, the toilet is at the end of the corridor. If you want to wash up, you can go there anytime. But if there are more people later, you may have to queue. Well, I'll listen to Xiaoyue's arrangements then."
"Xiao Yue?" the host asked curiously.
Susan slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, the girl at the door just now is called Song Yue, and she is currently the agent of the medical center."
Agent? The man couldn't help but be surprised: "She looks very young."
Hearing this, Susan smiled and said, "Yes, he is very young and very powerful."
Don't judge a book by its cover. This probably applies to capable people like Song Yue, Susan thought.
With chefs and farmers, the problems of canteens and greenhouses were solved.
But before leaving, the two elderly people in the family still asked one more question: "Miss Xiaoyue, we want to know if there are enough seeds. Do you need me to go out and get you some?"
They were so grateful to be able to live in such a clean and spacious place, and they wanted to help if there was any need for them.
Unexpectedly, the girl in front of him smiled and shook her head: "There are enough seeds, and there are a lot of them. You can plant them and don't worry about this problem."
These seeds were collected from the greenhouse that Mr. Qiu no longer wanted. The high temperature occurred in the previous copy, and ordinary seeds could no longer germinate, but I thought they should be able to germinate under normal conditions, so I stored them all in the space, and there are enough of them.
"Oh, right," Song Yue remembered something as she watched them leave. "Go to the third floor and find a girl named Jiaojiao. She's a nurse here. Your child has a broken skin. Let Jiaojiao take a look."
The eyes of the male host and the two old men lit up: "That's great!"
After leaving, out of Song Yue's earshot, the two elderly people said to their son, "This little Yue is doing a great job. Let's work hard and wait for the rescue team to arrive."
The man smiled and replied, "Yes, we have food, drink, shelter, and free medical care. It's really good."
The author has something to say:
This copy is almost finished~
PS: My results have deteriorated since the ranking change. I'm trying to adjust my mindset over the past two days.
