Chapter 322 Pregnant Women Quarantine
Wu Tianqi was taken to a registration office to fill out a form. Anyone who has just arrived at the Kyoto base needs to fill out a registration form as long as they pass the quarantine. People with special abilities will be poached by major families, while ordinary people will be assigned jobs based on their personal expertise.
He watched Hua Yang being taken away by a middle-aged woman with a big belly and hideous fat, while absent-mindedly filling out the form. If Hua Yang hadn't asked him to go into the base to get familiar with the environment before meeting up with Gu Xiaoyue and not to worry about her, he would rather go with her to the pregnant women isolation area to suffer.
How could he not worry? The pregnant women's quarantine area, to put it nicely, is to isolate all pregnant women. But according to Zhu Gaoting, who took them to the quarantine room yesterday, it is difficult for even healthy people to survive for three days in that quarantine area, not to mention pregnant women.
"Hey, hey, hey, can you write the information properly? You still have to think for so long whether you are a superpower or not? If you are, then you are. If you are not, then you are not. Do you think you can suddenly decide whether you have superpowers if you delay for a while?"
Wu Tianqi didn't care about the attitude of the person filling out the information at all. He quickly filled in the information card and handed it to the person.
The man glanced at the information on the card and said, "Tsk, I knew you were a wimp who hadn't awakened any special powers! Oh, and you're a doctor, not bad, you have a bright future!"
Wu Tianqi glanced coldly at the man in front of him, "Can I leave now?"
"Don't worry, don't worry. There is something good waiting for you! Not everyone in our base can have such a good thing!"
"What good news?"
"You are new to our Kyoto base, so I will be kind enough to give you some basic information about our base so that you won't run into any obstacles when you first arrive here.
First of all, there are five major families in our Kyoto base, namely the Yao family who is in charge of warfare, the Gu family who is in charge of medical treatment, the Tang family who is in charge of research, the Zhu family who is in charge of resource allocation, and the Wu family who is in charge of external exchanges.
These five families were the powerful families in Kyoto before the end of the world. Now the livelihood of the entire base is controlled by them. You are lucky to meet me today. How about joining my team?"
The man raised his chin proudly, with an attitude that he was the best in the world and no one was allowed to negotiate.
"Your team? But I'm a doctor, shouldn't I consider joining the Gu family first?"
"Gu family? Boy, your sights are too high, aren't they? The Gu family is not something that you, a commoner, can just join casually?
"Don't underestimate my team because it's small. We have two Level 3 Psychics in our team! You're just an ordinary person who just arrived here. It's easy to be bullied without anyone to rely on! Moreover, my team has the support of the Wu family. The Wu family is a well-known diplomat in the Kyoto circle. Don't underestimate the Gu family because they manage the medical care. Our Wu family's medical level is not bad!"
When Wu Tianqi heard the word Wu family, his eyes darkened. "The Wu family of Wu Xianmin?"
"Hush, you are so bold! How dare you say that old man's name casually! Although the Yao family is the main one among the five major families, the genius Yao Lie of the Yao family has not returned from his last mission and his life or death is unknown. It is hard to say which of the five major families in this base is stronger. Besides, our Wu family is a family with a good background. Even if it is not as good as before after the end of the world, it is still better than the Yao family!
I'm not saying this, if the Yao family were in ancient times, they would definitely be traitors! Everyone has the right to kill them, do you understand?"
Wu Tianqi heard that the man was sleeping more and more outrageously, so he immediately refused, "Forget it, I'll just wait for the higher-ups to assign me a job! Didn't they say that after filling out the information, I should go to the civilian area and wait, and someone will come to assign me a job?"
Seeing that Wu Tianqi ignored him, the man quickly grabbed him again, "Hey, hey, hey, why don't you listen to my advice? Let me tell you, that civilian area is not a good place to stay."
Wu Tianqi strode towards the open back door of the police station, leaving behind the man who was still introducing the advantages of his team.
"Hey, if you join my team, the food you get every day will be better than that in the civilian area! People there have to work hard to earn their meals, and look at your small body..."
The man's voice became increasingly distant, and Wu Tianqi heaved a sigh of relief after he walked out of the police station. His ears were finally quiet.
The area of Kyoto Base did not seem to be much different from before the apocalypse. The streets were still the same, the houses were still the same, but there was less sincerity between people. Everyone was on guard against each other and vigilant.
There were stalls in twos and threes on both sides of the street. He walked along curiously and wanted to take a look at the things on display, but he saw the stall owners suddenly quickly pack up the cloth mats on the ground and pick them up.
“Hey! It’s you again! Don’t run!” Suddenly, several men in police uniforms ran out of the police station and shouted at the stall owners who were running away with the cloth bags, “You want to set up stalls without money to pay the stall fees? Next time we catch you, we will break your legs!”
The same is true for those who set up stalls and sold goods anywhere before the end of the world. These men in police uniforms are not police officers. They look like urban management officers, preventing those who want to make money by setting up stalls without paying the stall fees.
Wu Tianqi felt that everyone had a hard time in the apocalypse, and they just set up stalls to sell goods to earn a living. As for these people being so desperate to chase him for a hundred meters and even saying harsh words?
A few men who looked like urban management officers ran back and saw Wu Tianqi still standing there. One of them came over, patted him on the shoulder, and actually spoke words of comfort.
"Hey, brother, don't be depressed! These scammers come here every day to set up stalls when we are not here, and there is nothing we can do about it! If you are cheated of your crystal core, just consider yourself unlucky. Every failure is a lesson for you. Next time, don't be cheated again!"
"Yes, next time I want to buy something, I'll go to the back alley. The stalls there have all paid deposits, so there's a guarantee that they won't sell fake goods to cheat people."
"These people are just looking for newcomers like you to the base to cheat. They will cheat as many as they can. Just last time, a girl was cheated out of more than a dozen level 2 crystal cores!"
Wu Tianqi was stunned. If he hadn't said it, he wouldn't have known. It turned out that there were so many things he didn't know. People's hearts are unpredictable. It seems that he can't just look at the surface in the future.
He did not explain anything, but thanked them in a good-natured manner and asked about the location of the civilian area. Several men in uniform kindly took him to his destination before leaving.
At this time, Hua Yang was following an extremely fat middle-aged woman. They first walked out from the inside of the police station, passed through several open-air foyers, and then walked into a dark passage after twists and turns.
Hua Yang followed and asked, "Excuse me, where are we going?"
"This is the quarantine area for pregnant women. The road is a bit dark, so watch your step."
Hua Yang's face was full of seriousness, and her eyes were full of vigilance. How many pregnant women were there in this Kyoto base? Why did they even set up an isolation area specifically for them?
Then ten minutes later, Hua Yang was taken to the outside of a high wall. The fat woman pressed a button on the wall, and a stone door moved sideways and opened.
It was bright inside the door, and Hua Yang stood at the door without moving.
"Here you go." The fat woman gave Hua Yang a number tag. "This is your number tag. When you come out, the guards will let you out based on the number tag. Don't lose it! Go in. This is the quarantine area for pregnant women like you. You've already been quarantined for one day. You can come out after two more days."
Hua Yang looked at the fat middle-aged woman with a look of regret and worry, and walked in slowly with the number plate in her hand.
From the look on the fat woman's face, it was clear that this apparently isolated area for pregnant women was not that simple. At least, the way the fat middle-aged woman looked at her was very much like looking at patients being pushed into an operating room, and it was still unclear whether they could come out or not.
The stone door closed, and Hua Yang slowly walked in with a blanket hanging on her arm.
The environment here is like a huge copper-walled iron box, with high metal walls, two floors, and an unusually high ceiling.
There is a simple sleeping bag on each floor, and a pregnant woman is curled up in each sleeping bag.
Hua Yang walked around the ground floor for a long time, but couldn't find an empty sleeping bag. So she went up the stairs to the second floor and finally found an empty sleeping bag at the innermost part of the second floor.
But just as she was about to lie down in the empty sleeping bag, a pair of hands suddenly pushed her from behind. Hua Yang stood firm and turned back to look at the person who pushed her expressionlessly. It was a pregnant woman with an unusually large belly.
“Why did you push me?”
The pregnant woman looked at him coldly, raised her head proudly and snorted, "I saw it first! Do you understand the principle of first come first served?"
Hua Yang replied coldly, "I didn't see you when I came. Please get out of the way!"
Hua Yang squeezed past her and was about to reach the sleeping bag, but the sleeping bag was kicked away by the pregnant woman. "Who do you think you are? Even if I can't sleep, you can't sleep either!"
Hua Yang became famous after coming here. It wasn't that she had to have this sleeping bag that others had slept in, but she was planning to stay here for two more days in a low-key manner before leaving. But someone didn't want her to live a low-key life.
Hua Yang glanced at the woman's belly. She was wearing branded stuff, a QV suit, PCV shoes, and even her nail polish was a diamond-studded model from a famous snakeskin shop. It was said that one nail polish cost a thousand yuan.
What Hua Yang found most amusing was that in this quarantine area full of pregnant women, no one had taken a shower for at least three days. If they were newcomers from other cities, it was very likely that they had not taken a shower for two months since the end of the world.
The whole place had a strange smell, but she was the only one who smelled strongly of perfume.
"I see that your belly is at least nine months old. You're going to give birth soon, right?" Hua Yang stared at the woman's belly with his eyes slightly narrowed.
Hua Yang's expression suddenly made the woman's heart jump, "You, what do you want to do? Why are you looking at my belly! I tell you, don't do anything reckless! If you dare to do anything reckless, my parents will definitely not let you go!"
"Why are you so excited? It's really inconvenient for you to have such a big belly." Hua Yang glanced at the pregnant women around her who were watching the show silently.
This quarantine area is actually not small. Each floor is about 150 square meters, and there are about 70 to 80 pregnant women. And next to the empty sleeping bag, there was a pregnant woman lying there with lifeless eyes for a long time.
Hua Yang's spiritual power swept her body for a long time, and the woman had long since died. However, there was a faint stench of decay in her stomach, but it was covered by the strange smell from pregnant women who had not bathed for a long time.
But who is Hua Yang? When she was at level one, she had a vortex of consciousness that only high-level psychics have. Not only is her power comparable to that of a high-level psychic, but her mental strength is also many times greater than that of an ordinary psychic.
Hua Yang didn't know how to calculate this multiple. But what she knew was that she could easily sense the ability level and ability system of the people around her. But no one else seemed to be able to do it.
Seeing Hua Yang retreating, the pregnant woman snorted coldly, "That's better than right! If you know what's best for you, my husband will come to pick me up tomorrow. By then, maybe I can even ask for your permission to leave earlier!"
Hua Yang looked at her sarcastically and said nothing. With a slight smile on her lips, she strode out of the rest area on the second floor. After returning to the first floor, she found a place near the wall with few people, spread the blanket on the ground, and then leaned against the wall and closed her eyes.
This place gave her an extreme sense of insecurity, but leaving seemed to be a hassle. Gu Xiaoyue had already gone home, and she didn't know if this girl was reliable and could help her find out about Xing Lie.
The woman upstairs who had snatched the sleeping bag from her curled up in the sleeping bag smugly and started chatting with several pregnant women sitting nearby.
"I say, don't think too badly. We're only staying here for three days. When I get out tomorrow, I'll have someone provide everyone with some hot meals and water. Three days will pass quickly!
Hey, the one downstairs who just stole my sleeping bag, luckily you knew what was best for you and didn’t offend me, otherwise you would have suffered a lot tomorrow!"
Originally, only three or four people agreed, but when they heard that food would be delivered, many people immediately got out of their sleeping bags.
"Really? Then you have to remember that it is too difficult for us women to suffer in such a place while pregnant! My husband said he would find a way for me to get out early, but there is no information at all!"
"Yeah, my parents used to be in the circle of nobles in Kyoto. They used all kinds of connections to help me, but it was useless. I was forcibly arrested and forced to come here. They said I had to be quarantined for three days! Sigh!"
"Ahem, you guys are such a big deal! Don't you know that the five major families are in power in Kyoto now? If you don't have any connections, you can't get through at all! I'm from the mother's side of the Zhu family, one of the five major families, so I can come in for one day and leave tomorrow!"
"Wow, so good?"
"I envy you so much! We have been hungry for almost two days! If we wait another day, we might not even have the strength to climb out!"
"Yeah, I only give you half a cup of water every day, and I don't even have the strength to walk!"
The more they talked, the more excited they became. Suddenly, a few pregnant women stood up at the second-floor staircase and asked, "Hey, didn't the fat woman tell you when you came in? You must take the number plate that represents your identity and quarantine time! When I came here, someone told me that there have been several cases of people trying to snatch other people's number plates because they wanted to leave early.
You all should be careful, don't trust anyone, or you could have left but lost your number plate. The person in charge outside doesn't recognize people but only the number plate, and they won't give you food just because you stay in there for a few more days. You won't die if you don't eat and only drink water, but the piece of meat in your stomach might be in danger!"
The pregnant woman who had snatched the Hua Yang sleeping bag suddenly stood up and pointed at the person who was speaking with a frown, "What nonsense are you talking about! Say it again!"
But what answered her was indeed a baby zombie that suddenly jumped out of the sleeping bag next to her.
