This disinfection shed must have been made by connecting more than a dozen tents together.
Qiao An'an and the others walked about twenty meters before leaving the last tent.
When they came out, they were covered in disinfectant from head to toe.
Li Jianguo disliked this feeling and spat several times: "Is it necessary to spray for twenty meters? It even triggered my rhinitis."
There is a second checkpoint after you leave the tent.
Waiting outside the tent were a man and a woman in uniform. The man was responsible for checking men with a metal detector, and the woman was responsible for checking women. They checked very carefully, even more thoroughly than the checks before boarding a plane.
Especially that man, who was pushing and shoving Li Jianguo and the others, and even told Lu Feihang that Ye Jing didn't look like a good family's child, and asked Lu Feihang why he could just bring people in like that. Li Jianguo disliked him very much: "He's making a big deal out of nothing!"
After checking everyone, another group of soldiers came and led them into their respective rooms. These rooms were actually rows of cubicles, but unlike prison cubicles, they were made of iron plates, even the doors were made of iron. There was only a small square window above the door for ventilation, making them look even more oppressive than prison cubicles.
Joanne asked the soldier, "Can I stay in the same room as my daughter?"
The soldier hesitated, saying, "According to regulations, each person must have their own room."
Qiao An'an explained, "My child is not even four years old yet. She is very timid. Leaving her alone in this closed and oppressive room will scare her."
The soldier seemed hesitant to make a decision, only glancing at the man who was examining Qiao An'an and the others.
The man disliked people who broke the rules. He curled his lip unhappily and said, "I separated you for your personal safety, to prevent one of you from turning into a zombie and biting the others. Don't tell me you're fine. Everyone who comes in says that, but no one can guarantee whether you're alright or not."
Qiao An'an replied, "I don't need you to worry about my safety. I just want to share a room with my daughter, is that okay?"
Seemingly never having been challenged like this before, the man's face showed displeasure. He took out a piece of paper and said to Qiao An'an, "Okay, but you have to write a guarantee that this is your own decision and that I have nothing to do with anything that happens."
Qiao An'an didn't want to argue with him any further, so she signed the guarantee directly.
Qiao An'an and Ya Ya stayed in the tin house for a day and a night. During this time, she could not receive any messages from others, only the soldiers would deliver three meals a day on time.
In addition, staff members drew blood from everyone for medical checkups, ostensibly to prevent them from bringing the fever into the safe area and causing a large-scale infection.
After the quarantine was completed, the iron gate was opened, and everyone walked out of it one after another.
Lu Feihang came to pick them up.
Lu Feihang told them that the first security check was over and they could enter the J City security zone, but they still could not move freely within the security zone; they would be taken to the assessment room in the security zone.
Shen Zhou asked, puzzled, "What is the assessment room for?"
Lu Feihang replied to Chen Zhou, "We do not accept people with criminal records here. The assessment room will review your previous resume to see if you have any criminal records. At the same time, there will be professionals in the assessment room to talk to you and determine the position you are qualified for, and then arrange a suitable job for you."
Qiao An'an was very surprised: "The internet was cut off half a year ago, how did you check it?"
Lu Feihang explained, "This safe zone in J City was created by Dr. Yu. At the beginning of the apocalypse, he downloaded all the information on the Internet to his personal computer. He not only downloaded all the data on the Internet, but also established our own local area network in J City. After you get your jobs, the evaluator will give each of you a mobile phone that can log in to the local area network."
Qiao An'an couldn't help but marvel at the advanced equipment in J City.
Li Jianguo felt that they were there to save the world, not to live a nine-to-five life, so he asked Lu Feihang, "Do we have to be assigned a job? Is it not okay not to work?"
Lu Feihang found Li Jianguo's question very strange: "No way, do you expect to get something for nothing?"
Li Jianguo snorted, thinking that he could just leave after dropping off the person.
Qiao An'an wasn't against working, but they weren't there to work, and they had children with them: "Children have to work too?"
Lu Feihang quickly waved his hand and said, "Your child is too young to need that. We have a kindergarten here specifically for children her age. While you are working, our kindergarten teachers will take care of the children. We also have junior high schools for the two older children, but at their age, they need to do some light work after school."
Since he couldn't escape it, Li Jianguo figured he had to do the easiest and most profitable job: "What kind of job pays the most here?"
Lu Feihang: "What kind of work you do is determined by the assessor. Also, there is no salary for any of the work here. Food and rooms are allocated according to need."
Chen Zhou became interested: "Is this a premature entry into communism?"
Lu Feihang nodded vigorously: "That's right, Professor Yu has managed the security zone exceptionally well. You'll see once you finish the assessment and start working. I'm sure you'll soon fall in love with this place."
When Lu Feihang mentioned Dr. Yu, his eyes were full of admiration.
Moreover, this was the second time Lu Feihang had mentioned this Dr. Yu, so Qiao An'an couldn't help but be curious about who this Dr. Yu was.
No one thought they would love their job; they looked at each other, speechless.
When Lu Feihang went to hand over the work to the assessment team, Chi Xiaoyu said, "I don't like it here."
Qiao An'an didn't really like this place either. If it weren't for developing an anti-zombie virus serum, she wouldn't have followed these people into the J City safe zone: "I don't like it either, but since we're here, we might as well make the best of it. Let's see what their tricks are before deciding whether to stay or leave."
Chen Zhou was surprised: "You're leaving? Aren't you going to develop an antidote?"
Qiao An'an: "Of course we need to develop an antidote, but we need to be alive to do it first. There's a smell here that I don't like."
Shen Zhou disagreed: "Adults have jobs, children have schools, and resources are distributed according to need. I think it's pretty good."
Qiao An'an also thought it was pretty good.
However, even in peacetime, humanity's moral standards have not yet reached the level of communism.
She doesn't believe that in the apocalypse, humans would still be so selfless as to not care about how much they do and to allocate resources entirely based on need: "If it's really as Lu Feihang said, then it would be quite good."
Qiao An'an's unspoken meaning was self-evident.
Just then, Lu Feihang finished handing over with the assessment team and came out, and everyone immediately fell silent.
Lu Feihang did not hear the conversation among the group. He smiled and said to them, "The evaluators will let you in one by one later. Just answer their questions truthfully. After the evaluation is over, I will treat you to dinner."
