"Everyone follow me, those from District Three, follow me!"
"District Four! Look at my flag and follow me!"
Several guides wore work badges and held high a flag with their area code written on it.
From District One to District Five, these districts were all allocated for these later comers to live in.
The people came to this strange place, with uneasy hearts, and followed the guide in front of them.
Along the way, they talked a lot with the guide and got to know the rules of the base. Generally speaking, everyone was quite satisfied. The base had rules, and it was good to have rules. Having rules meant that the cruel and inhumane things they saw outside would not happen.
Moreover, the base commander of this base was the former official head of Shudu. Coupled with what they saw along the way, everyone had a little yearning for the base, but they had not really adapted to it, so they were still unsure.
The team led by Old Wu and Old Jia was from District Five. Old Jia held the flag high in his hand, gathered the people assigned to his district, and led them to a place full of tents and countless people in white coats.
"We've added a lot of new equipment here that was developed later. We'll be taking you guys to check if anyone is carrying the virus. Just let me know in advance. If we find out, don't blame us for being ruthless."
Old Wu added, "Don't think you can get away with it. We've been using this machine for a long time, and no one can escape it. If you have the zombie virus, since it hasn't broken out yet, you can probably still be treated. Don't worry about being kicked out of the base. We'll do our best to treat you."
"What? Can we save people even if they are caught by zombies?" a teenager asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, the others avoided him as if they had seen a ghost, leaving a vacuum zone around him.
"Yes, there is a certain possibility of cure. Our base has been researching antigens. Although we can't guarantee a complete cure, there is still great hope."
After Lao Jia finished speaking, he asked, "Have you ever been caught by a zombie?"
The young man pursed his lips and gently rolled up his sleeves, revealing a purple and black claw mark on his arm.
When the other people saw this scene, they were immediately frightened and screamed, "He's going to turn into a zombie, catch him quickly!"
"No, no? We've been with him for this long. Will we get infected by him?"
"There won't be many people like him, right? It's all over!"
Lao Jia and his colleagues have also been trained, especially Lao Jia himself is a good communicator. When he saw the commotion, he immediately raised his hand and suppressed the crowd of people who were talking.
"Everyone listen to me, don't worry!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd immediately turned their eyes to him. They thought that this group of Shudu people had walked the same way with them. If something really happened, they would definitely be more worried. But seeing that the leader didn't seem worried at all, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?
"It's okay! As long as we don't get bitten by zombies, we won't be infected if they catch us, so don't worry."
Old Jia glanced at the silent young man, "As for this young man, although he has been arrested, the virus in his body has not yet spread to his heart, so there is still a possibility of recovery. If there are others like him, please step forward quickly to save us the trouble of going through the formalities and delaying treatment."
"If it's discovered that someone deliberately concealed their wound, or if the situation is serious, they will be expelled from the base!"
After Lao Jia talked for a while, a man and a woman stood up. Lao Jia took a look at them. Both of them had families, so he guessed that they would not implicate their families.
"Is there no one here? Okay, let's start checking."
Lao Jia took a group of people to do a check-up, and Lao Wu took the three people who stood up to the red house on the other side, and handed them over to the nurse inside.
"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate with the treatment at the base, there's a certain chance of recovery. Because you've actively cooperated with our treatment and management, we'll give you priority in arranging jobs after you recover. Once you have a job, you'll be able to steadily earn points and live a stable life at our base."
Old Wu said a few more words to the three of them and then went to meet up with Old Jia.
When he arrived, he saw a group of soldiers dragging a couple out, and a woman was cursing at them.
"Why are you arresting us? I just forgot! I didn't hide it on purpose! I didn't notice it myself!"
"What's going on?" Old Wu came over and asked.
Old Jia folded his arms and looked at the couple coldly, "The woman has a scratch on her waist, which has been found. She is still not giving up and is dragging them to the farm."
Only those with serious offenses would be expelled from the base. Out of humanitarianism and due to the population shortage, the couple were sent to work on a farm. Of course, they had no tools, and no points for their work. They were only provided with food for their survival.
…
After checking and confirming that these people were not carrying the virus, Lao Jia and his companion took a group of people to arrange their accommodation, and told them about the base along the way.
"Professor Lan, this is where your family lives."
Professor Lan was an old lady in her sixties or seventies, followed by her daughter and son-in-law. "Why does this place look a little different from where other people live?"
Old Wu smiled and said, "When you were registering your information just now, didn't you mention that you were an expert in agriculture? Our base is currently developing production, and agriculture and industry are both top priorities. Your expertise will be of great help to our base. This house is a benefit for our special talents."
Professor Lan looked at the two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment and nodded. "Are there other experts living next door?"
"You guessed right. Most of the people living on your floor are experts in the scientific field. Across from you is where we, the military families, live. My family lives in the first room on the second floor opposite. If you have any questions, you can always come to me."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wu."
Old Wu waved his hand. "Hey, what's so hard about this? We're helping ourselves by helping you. This is our job. If it weren't for my son being an officer in the army and me becoming a military dependent, I wouldn't even be able to get this job."
"By the way, please take a look around the room first. The base will give you three days of free rations, but you'll need to collect them later. Just go to the food purchasing station I pointed out earlier. Just take your ID cards with you. After these three days, you'll have to earn points on your own."
