The bathhouse is a huge hot water pool surrounded by many containers. There is a sign on the edge of the pool that reads: "Spent Fuel Pool" in Beiming and Taotie.
There are layers of cement steps at the edge of the pool, six or seven meters deep. The water is extremely clear, and many cylindrical black tubes stacked at the bottom are clearly visible.
The water temperature is just around 40 degrees, which is perfect for taking a bath. Apart from them, there were already many people sitting comfortably on the steps at the edge of the water enjoying themselves.
"There's nuclear radiation here."
Meng Fei looked at the dark tubes at the bottom of the pool through the swaying clear water and reminded Duan Yu.
"And nuclear radiation is always 'modifying' us. "
"Revise? Who cares."
Duan Yu didn't even open his eyes. He was thinking of the hot springs he enjoyed during a company-organized tour many years ago in Qingmang.
Compared to the harsh environment of wind and rain in the jungle, how about a little radiation?
Since Duan Yu didn't care, Meng Fei didn't continue to explain to him. It is better to use this person as an observation sample to see what the impact of the "backdoor" will be.
The influence of this "system backdoor" has existed ever since their rental house in Nori Town was designed to fall into a trap. It was only when I got here that I was "confirmed" by him for the first time.
Like an omnipresent ghost, it lurks behind and builds the entire game world. And here, because Meng Fei was close to the core, he directly sensed its existence for the first time.
It's mixed in with the nuclear fallout that's almost everywhere here. These radiations are carefully encoded by a certain consciousness, mixed with the power from God, and change everyone here at a slow speed.
There are two kinds of change. One is that ionizing radiation directly modifies their genes. The other is that the radiation hits the connections between axons and dendrites between their brain cells, changing their memories.
Meng Fei silently activated his ability to repair himself, then was changed again, and then repaired again, and this cycle never ends.
Sure enough, the only way to end this endless game is to use that chip to turn off the "Palace of All Things" as Professor Boulanger said?
All their belongings were left in the boxes they came in in. But he secretly took out the chip and put it in his mouth, hiding it under his tongue and bringing it in.
After taking a shower, the walkway outside is lined with a row of wardrobes. A man in green overalls opened the closet door for them and reminded:
"Please feel free to choose the size that suits you. If you try on an inappropriate size, just throw it away in the trash can in the corridor."
After opening the closet, there were folded and clean clothes arranged in ascending order of styles. There are only two colors, gray green and dark red.
The civic code clearly states that "no red clothing of any kind" is allowed, but red clothing is blatantly provided here? Is this fishing enforcement?
The clothes and trousers were of ordinary style, looking a bit like the "Squid Game" coaching clothes he had seen in his previous life. Fortunately, the texture is soft, clean and comfortable.
Although they are all green, their clothes are made of cotton, which is completely different from the staff's waterproof work clothes with obvious yellow stripes, so there is no possibility of confusion.
Not daring to try the method themselves, Meng Fei and Duan Yu silently chose the gray-green version to put on, and followed the staff's guidance to move in.
After walking through many abandoned workshops and factories, and through long tunnels, they finally arrived at the "living area" for who knows how long.
The living area is also a huge and empty factory building.
It is surrounded by tall gray walls, and overhead is a dome covered with wires and many vertical and horizontal metal frames. The floor is a cement floor that has been polished cleanly by the years.
There are beds neatly arranged in the factory building. Next to the bed are simple wardrobes, tables and chairs, which look like the "square cabins" he saw during the virus epidemic in his previous life.
Some people in the same clothes were half lying on the bed browsing their mobile phones, some were sitting on chairs with their legs crossed, some were sitting on the ground exercising, and some were walking in circles along the aisle.
"This is your place."
The staff member who led them here pointed to two "private areas" on the left and right.
There is truly no need to carry bags to check in!
The bed is like a hotel that has been cleaned. The sheets, pillows, and bedding are all brand new. The cabinets had also been cleaned and were empty, without any clutter.
Duan Yu rolled over and jumped onto the bed, got under the quilt, stuck his head out and asked carefully: "Is there any requirement on the work and rest time here?"
His only desire now is to have a good sleep in a comfortable bed. But after being beaten by Subaru's strict military life, he was not so reckless.
"No request, sir."
As soon as the staff member finished speaking, the bed was already snoring loudly.
"Can I leave here at any time?"
The first thing Meng Fei had to confirm was whether he was staying in a hotel or going to jail.
"Of course you can leave at any time."
The staff nodded and reminded him.
"But once you leave, you can't come back."
"clear."
Meng Fei sat on the chair, always feeling that something was wrong with him here.
"If my clothes are dirty, how do I change them?"
"You can always go to the sanitary area over there when you need to take a bath."
The staff didn't seem to be asked this question. He was a little surprised and pointed in the direction of the "sanitary area."
"Take off your dirty clothes and throw them into the trash can. Just put on new, clean clothes after taking a shower."
"Why do they have mobile phones? Internet access is available here? Aren't all communication lines destroyed?"
After looking around carefully, Meng Fei discovered the source of the incongruity in this place.
He and Duan Yu came in with nothing. But many people here have mobile phones in their hands and are actively browsing. Can these people actually access the Internet here?
When he was first transferred to Weiyue, he discovered that all the electronic equipment in Truffle Town was scrapped, and it was impossible to use a mobile phone.
But this group of people are actually asking for death?
He has no interest in having to die. But if he has a mobile phone to access the Internet, he can log in to WeChat and contact Qingmang directly. Suzaku and Lao Li will come to the rescue soon!
"Of course you can go online.
"Here are the services provided by the Taotie Star Chain."
"Starlink? But what about mobile phones? Are you still giving mobile phones to everyone?"
"Except for clothing, we do not distribute anything to citizens here."
The staff member shook his hand apologetically.
"However, if you need anything, you can use the "wishing box" we provide you. "
He pointed politely at an inconspicuous brown wooden box standing between the bed and the cabinet.
