However, there is a clear clause in the employee code of conduct that states that the Ecological Bureau will assign employees tasks of reasonable difficulty. If employees choose to refuse to perform tasks of reasonable difficulty, they will face a fine of a thousand times the remuneration for the task.
The Ecological Bureau defines a task of reasonable difficulty as being at most one level higher than the employee's ability level, and this unfair clause is legally binding in District 6.
The reward for this B-level task is 80,000, and a hundred times the fine is 80 million. Although the treatment at the Ecological Bureau is much better than other places, this number is still an astronomical figure.
Thinking of this, those who were originally ready to make a move immediately calmed down. It would be better to let them die than to ask them to pay 80 million.
Anyway, in this world, who knows if you might suddenly die one day by accidentally getting caught in a drop of rain?
The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly grew heavier. After everyone put on their protective gear, Wen Xu coughed lightly and said, "Let's discuss the information we've obtained so far."
"According to the information Bai Ze provided, the infection should have occurred on the lower floors. However, based on the scope of the B-level domain when it was formed, it is estimated that everyone in the sanatorium has been implicated in the domain. At least for now, no one has left the sanatorium."
Zhuo Guangyu finished speaking and sighed, "There are over a thousand people living in the sanatorium, most of whom are people with special abilities. Although some of them are severely infected and unconscious, it doesn't mean that they won't be reinfected by the domain and become more powerful."
That is to say, although this area is currently marked as B-level reproductive type, once they actually enter it, they may find that it is far more difficult than that.
The worst outcome would probably be that they would be completely wiped out, and the domain would mature and release spores.
"Please take note. We are expected to arrive at our destination in five minutes. Team members, please put on your protective gear and be ready. Preliminary mission rating: B-class breeding type. Estimated time to maturity: 5 hours and 25 minutes."
Everyone checked the weapons they carried again, and this time everyone brought as many weapons as possible.
Five minutes later, the shuttle bus stopped at the entrance of the sanatorium, the door opened, and Zhuo Guangyu was the first to get off.
The sanatorium in front of me has turned pure white. At first glance, it is a bit similar to the Ecological Bureau building, but if you look closely, you will find that this white is entirely due to the mycelium covering the facade, and this white is not as pure as the color of the Ecological Bureau building.
Apparently, Xie Xuan wasn't the only one who felt this way. Someone in the team whispered, "I feel like this mycelium isn't as white as Bai Ze's."
But the situation has become so serious that traces of mycelium can be seen on the facade, which is certainly not a good thing.
The gate to the sanatorium was closed, but the pedestrian entrance was open. After they entered the front yard of the sanatorium, Zhuo Guangyu stopped and said, "Team 3 will go in the front, Team 8 will bring up the rear, and the six of you will be in the middle."
Xie Xuan and the others nodded without objection, "No problem."
But Zhuo Guangyu gave Xie Xuan a special look. Just when Xie Xuan thought he would say something like "protect yourself," Zhuo Guangyu actually said, "Xiao Yao said you're quite powerful. If possible, please try to take care of the C-level psychics."
Xie Xuan nodded a little unexpectedly, "I will."
After the team was redistributed, Xie Xuan walked on the outside of the middle, and Zhuo Guangyu led another B-level psychic and a C-level psychic from Team 03 to walk in the front.
The original sensor-type automatic glass door was now covered with white mycelium, and the sensor had malfunctioned. Zhuo Guangyu stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, which was instantly covered with a layer of metallic luster.
He swung a punch, and the glass shattered into countless small pieces, which fell to the ground with a clatter, wrapped in mycelium.
Xie Xuan guessed that Zhuo Guangyu's ability should be something like body hardening. No wonder Wen Xu said that he has both offensive and defensive capabilities.
After the door opened, the scene inside was revealed.
It was similar to the last time Xie Xuan came, but this time there was no one behind the front desk. The ground, walls and ceiling were covered with white mycelium.
The current spore concentration detected is 25%.
There was a faint smell of damp and rotten mushrooms in the air, but other than that, there was no special smell. Logically speaking, with thousands of people in the area, the characteristics of the mycelium outside should not be so subtle.
Zhuo Guangyu had probably been to the nursing home before. He simply ignored the elevator which was probably out of use and took people through the emergency passage.
The first floor is the lobby, and the lower floors starting from the second floor are critical care wards such as emergency rooms. Zhuo Guangyu stayed briefly on the second floor and then went to the third floor.
The mycelium in the entire safe passage is not very thick, so it is difficult to tell on which floor the infection occurred.
It took them some time to reach the fourth floor, when they finally felt that the mycelium on the ground had become thicker and the smell in the air had become stronger.
"Everyone, please be careful." After saying this, Zhuo Guangyu walked into the corridor on the fourth floor.
The layout is similar to that of all hospitals, with wards lined up on both sides of the corridor, but now all the doors are covered with hyphae, making it impossible to tell the previous locations of the infested people.
"Let's split up," Wen Xu, who was walking at the end of the team, said, "Zhuo Guangyu will lead Team 31, and I'll lead Team 27 and Xie Xuan. We'll investigate the left and right sides separately. Once we find any clues, don't act rashly. Gather everyone before entering the area together."
Zhuo Guangyu hesitated for two seconds, then nodded and said, "Okay."
The team split in the middle, half going left and half going right.
Wen Xu and Zhuo Guangyu walked at the front of their respective teams. Unlike Zhuo Guangyu's simple and straightforward ability, Wen Xu, like Xie Xuan, took out a dagger and cut open the door covered with mycelium.
But unlike Xie Xuan who only relied on the dagger that was as sharp as a cheat, Wen Xu seemed to have added some special power to this ordinary dagger, making it stronger.
Xie Xuan withdrew her gaze, and the door of the first ward opened.
Perhaps it was because Xie Xuan had a special connection with the hospital, Xie Xuan found herself either hospitalized or carrying out some hospital-related tasks and investigations during this period.
Although the sanatorium is not called a hospital, the layout of the room is quite similar to the Eighth Hospital on 278 Street that Xie Xuan visited last time.
There are two beds on both sides of the room, an instrument in the middle, and two bedside tables on both sides.
There is no one on the bed now, and the instrument is no longer functioning properly, showing a reading of 0.
Although Xie Xuan didn't know what characteristics the hospital beds of the parasited people in this area should have, it seemed that this one was not one of them.
