Chapter 197 Extreme Cold. Disappointment
Chu An and Gu Ye lifted the door curtain and went in. There were two braziers in the room, and the temperature was obviously much higher, but there were only two braziers, and it was not a closed space, so the temperature could not even reach above zero.
As soon as the two stood firm, someone came over to guide them to a room on the second floor. There was a sign outside that said [Examination Room 7]
The guide stood at the door, pushed it open and motioned for them to go in.
Gu Ye entered first and confirmed that it was an ordinary three-bedroom apartment, and Chu An followed in.
The living room was converted into a temporary reception room. Two men were sitting there. They were about forty years old and wearing slightly patinated cotton coats. They looked very different from the people who had just been there.
There were two tables in front of them. When they saw someone coming in, they stood up in a hurry. There were tags on their chests, one called "Wangjiang" and the other called "Congli".
Wang Jiang asked first, "Have you done your physical examination?"
Physical examination?
The big and small districts are indeed different, and there are even some shadows of the pre-apocalyptic world, which I had never experienced in my previous life.
They both shook their heads.
"So do you want to have a physical examination first or an interview first?" Cong Li continued, "You can choose either one, but if you choose to have a physical examination first, you may have to wait until the results come out before arranging the interview."
Chu An frowned, "What if we interview first?"
"If you fail the interview, you don't need to take the physical examination."
Although it sounds like there is no difference, but if you have to interview first, then if you fail, one less person will have to undergo a physical examination, which can save costs. The two of them are also guiding us in this direction.
"Then let's interview first." Chu An didn't want to take up resources, so he fulfilled their wish.
Wang Jiang smiled and said, "Room 1 for men and 2 for women. But you have to leave your bags and weapons with us for safekeeping."
Chu An did not hesitate. Her bag was just a decoration and there was nothing in it, so she was not afraid of losing it.
But before putting it down, I was still cautious. What if they secretly opened it and checked?
Thinking of this, I started to think about what I might need later. Towels, thermos bottles, and clothes, that's all I'll put there.
She put the things in place with her mind, placing the little bee in the basket on the table. Gu Ye did the same.
The two people entered their respective examination rooms.
Chu An entered a suite, which was about 60 square meters and very spacious.
The ground near the door is the floor, and the other half is covered with foam pads, on which are placed two small suns and a generator.
Two women wearing tight clothes and thick socks stood on a foam mat, and it was obvious that they were going to be tested on their skills.
Chu An hurriedly waved his hands at them, "I can't do it. I haven't learned Kung Fu."
The woman holding her hands sneered, "Little girl, you don't look that fat, don't worry, we don't want to attack you, how about a couple of moves?"
"No."
The woman gave her a disappointed look and turned to walk towards Little Sun.
The other slightly thin woman had an indifferent expression and didn't look at her with any special eyes.
"Then I'll go out?" Chu An asked tentatively.
"Now that we're here, wouldn't it be a waste of this opportunity if we just leave?" the thin woman said calmly, "Why don't you come up and try? Many women don't have the kung fu. I just want to see your explosive power and reaction ability."
The woman who was basking in the sun also said, "Whether you can do it is one thing, whether you dare to do it is another. I despise people who run away from the battlefield the most."
Chu An didn't see any teasing on the woman's face, so he answered her formally, "Sorry, still no, thank you."
If it was her in her previous life, she would never allow others to say that she was not good enough, but in this life, provoking others no longer worked.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." The woman who spoke last continued to ask.
"I'm not afraid of that."
"Then why don't you come up?" asked the woman basking in the sun with a pout.
"Your room is too cold." She could only answer truthfully, "I'm afraid of catching a cold."
Besides, it was too troublesome to put on and take off clothes. She couldn't fight with others in her current spherical form.
Alas, she didn’t expect this form. Why is it different from what Zhang Zhao said?
Both women were stunned. The temperature in their room was at least 13 or 14 degrees Celsius, which was considered high in the entire community.
"Le Le, don't worry about her." The woman who was basking in the sun rolled her eyes. "Hasn't Instructor Zhou already issued more than fifty pass cards? How come he can't pick out ten from these people?"
Lele took a deep breath and stretched out his hand to signal Chu An that he could go out.
Chu An left the room with a frown on his face. If so many pass cards were really issued, the possibility of them coming in would be less than one in five, and there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be more outstanding people behind them.
Gu Ye on the opposite side hadn't come out yet, and no one else had come in. She picked up her little bee and asked Wang Jiang casually, "Is everyone interviewing here?"
"No, when you came in, you were assigned interviewers according to your age. They are adults, so they should go to the third floor."
Do you feel offended? Are you being ignored because you are young?
"So, what we were assigned was not an interview at all, but a simple physical examination and fitness test?"
Wang Jiang was stunned. No one had asked him this question before. He looked at the information he had obtained from Instructor Zhou before. These two were children who had just entered the first year of high school. If it were in the past, they would probably have to be picked up and dropped off by car, have food and clothes provided for them, and wait for adults to take care of everything for them.
They probably don't understand psychological tests, stress tests, IQ, EQ, and adversity tests. And people who have never entered society may not understand the ways of the world, how to seek benefits and avoid harm, and they won't be able to ask anything in an interview.
However, he still replied politely, "This is allocated by the higher-ups based on everyone's situation, and it absolutely suits your actual situation."
"Then do we have the same chance of entering the community?"
"Of course, you all have a chance."
Chu An didn't want to argue, it was obvious that he was fooling her. If they were divided by age, the son of the family of three should also be taking the test here, but there was no sign of him.
If her guess was correct, Sunshine Community did not intend to accept minors unless they came with their entire family, like a family of three.
In fact, when she saw the first-floor manager and Jiang Yuting just now, she was a little hesitant. Qingrun Apartment has been taken away by her. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a building without anyone in it?
Alas, the reason why I am still here and taking the test step by step is that I am afraid that my departure will affect the interviews of Yin Tianlin and others. After all, they are on the same letter of introduction.
Door No. 2 was suddenly opened, and Gu Ye came out sweating profusely, holding his down jacket in his hand.
Chu An frowned, and hurriedly took out a towel from his Little Bee schoolbag, walked quickly to Gu Ye, and wiped the sweat from his head and neck.
"It's okay." Gu Ye took the towel and wiped himself.
She took out the thermos from the little bee again and said, "Drink some water."
Gu Ye's eyes lit up, he took it and drank it in big gulps, but Chu An held his hand again, "Don't be impatient."
Gu Ye covered his head with a towel and smiled with his canine teeth showing, "Yeah."
While Gu Ye was drinking water, she took out a hot water bottle from the Little Bee and asked him to hold it in one hand. Then she took out a heat pack and stuck it on his clothes.
"I can do it myself." Gu Ye said vaguely, holding water in his mouth, "I...I can do it myself."
Chu An told him to put on his clothes quickly so he wouldn't catch a cold.
This series of actions left Wang Jiang and Cong Li dumbfounded. A heating pad was so rare, and he not only helped wipe the sweat off their face, but also prepared hot water. Was he concerned about whether they were cold?
