The six people visited almost the entire nursing home area, except for the clearly locked-down areas.
From this perspective, Zone 1 either exists independently or it lacks elderly people who are capable of taking care of themselves.
If it's the second possibility, that would be terrifying.
Xia Chuhe spoke with little enthusiasm about the places he had explored and the discoveries he had made that afternoon.
No one else showed any clear surprise at the existence of the funeral area and mourning room. Ordinary people's bodies belonged to the base anyway; family-based elder care required sufficient points and free time.
Wang Yan recounted what he and Bu Yi had gained at the cafeteria.
This area is mainly an entertainment area, but... the people having fun here are all staff members in work uniforms, and I didn't see any elderly people.
The forms of entertainment are all healthy, with no harmful behaviors; they are just ordinary sports and card games.
Li Qiusheng found two certificates of merit in the office building's trash can.
Zhou Mei, a nursing home caregiver, is commended for her conscientious and responsible care of the elderly. She assisted the elderly in completing services within six hours of becoming a full-time caregiver and has been awarded the Best Caregiver Award of the Year.
December 31, 754 AD
Zhao Dazhuang, a caregiver at the nursing home, is commended for his conscientious and responsible care of the elderly. He assisted an elderly person in completing the service within three hours of becoming a full-time employee and has been awarded the Best Caregiver Award of the Year.
December 31, 758 AD
Li Qiusheng said, "The certificates are a bit old; they must be from an older period, especially the one from 1975. Also, I don't know what 'completion of service' means. Shouldn't a nursing home only provide elderly care services?"
Xia Chuhe recalled the phrase "after-sales service included" from the job contract. Could the "service completed" on the certificate mean that the old man had died?
The elderly man passed away just three hours after the new caregiver took over; it all seemed very suspicious.
As for the date, the photos delivered to the memorial room in the afternoon were dated 759. These two certificates of merit were indeed from two years ago, so it is normal for them to be removed.
Besides the award certificate, Li Yue also found a diary in the dormitory building.
Strangely, the dormitory was for caregivers, but the "I" in the diary was written in the voice of an elderly person. The handwriting in the diary was slightly messy, with many strokes broken and inconsistent, suggesting that the person who wrote the diary had an unsteady hand.
The diary was only a few pages long, and the contents were mostly trivial.
July 21
Getting old-age assistance from the government is indeed very difficult. After applying for many years, I finally obtained old-age eligibility in the year 756 of the Divine Era. Although the name of the nursing home is not good, the environment and dining hall are very nice. I have finally completed the admission procedures and hope that I can enjoy my old age here.
July 22
I had a nightmare. I dreamt that when I was young, I was carrying goods at the docks, and I was beaten by the boss for not carrying enough. When I woke up, I felt sad and my shoulders and neck ached.
July 29
My paralysis has worsened; I can barely speak clearly when I meet new friends. I'm getting old; I'm useless now.
August 1
Compared to other caregivers, Xiaoyu, who takes care of me, is very responsible. She helped me take a bath today; I really appreciate her help.
August 3
That's it, I've completely lost my dignity. I was sunbathing today, my legs got cold, my pants got wet, and I peed all over the floor. I'm so sorry, Xiao Yu! I'm so sorry, Yu Cheng'an!
August 6
I envy those old friends who have passed away; they caused less trouble for others.
August 9
Nothing's wrong, I'm perfectly fine.
The diary was seven pages long.
Judging from the diary, death was a relief for the old man.
Everyone passed the diary around without saying a word.
Li Yue forced a smile: "Getting sick when you're old is quite troublesome, and people with strong self-esteem can't accept it."
Wang Yan pursed her lips: "There are very few disabled people in the wasteland."
The subtext is that people with severe disabilities usually don't live long.
Li Qiusheng said, "The problem now is, what exactly does the dungeon want us to do? Sister Ye says she will take good care of the elderly, but in reality she beats them. The certificate of merit found seems to encourage caregivers to send the elderly to their deaths, and the owner of the diary also has a very strong desire to die."
Xia Chuhe turned to the first page of the diary: "Really?"
The elderly man applied for many years to find a suitable place to live in a nursing home. His hope before moving in was to enjoy his later years in peace.
However, after moving into the nursing home, the old man's condition seemed to deteriorate rapidly, and his wish turned into death.
It's uncertain whether this change is a natural progression of the disease or something the nursing home staff did.
However, judging from the old man's records, Yu Cheng'an, the caregiver, was a breath of fresh air among caregivers; he seemed to take good care of the old man.
Lu Danggui carefully put away the evidence she had found so far: "Don't think about it anymore, I'll look at it again after I start work tomorrow."
Nothing happened that night.
The next morning, the six of them went to the cafeteria for breakfast early, but there were only a few people there.
"You guys got up pretty early. What do you want to do after you eat?" asked one of the people in charge of the exams yesterday.
That's a strange question. Shouldn't you go to work after eating?
Xia Chuhe smiled and said vaguely, "Just browsing around."
"By the way, you're officially starting work today. Don't forget to ask Sister Ye for your work ID, otherwise you won't be able to visit many places."
...
The work badges were tags worn by nursing home staff, indicating their job title and name. However, Sister Ye only gave them work badges, not uniforms. The other four evolved individuals received the same treatment.
The clothing clearly distinguishes people inside and outside the instance.
Wang Yan, being a bit too talkative, asked the other four, "Where are you going first?"
The eldest member of the group, Big Head, was quite wary: "This has nothing to do with you guys."
Xia Chuhe ignored them and went straight to the living area. With his work ID, someone quickly opened the iron gate to the living area.
