"Hello, please wait a moment. We will register you one by one here. First of all, I would like to ask, what is your name?"
The staff in charge of registration were smiling and speaking in gentle tones. Hou Cheng admired them for being able to receive so many people in a day and still smile, even though they were sweating profusely.
"My name is Li Cheng."
"My name is Hou Fei."
Hou Cheng and Li Feier smiled at each other. They were currently in a long line of refugees and had been waiting in line for a long time to be registered. The names they used were not their real names.
Liu Jia, who was traveling with them, had already completed the registration procedures and his ID card was still intact on his body, so he was not asked to register again.
With the existing valid information, Liu Jia easily passed through the gate and went inside to wait for Hou Cheng and Li Feier who were queuing up to register and go through a series of subsequent procedures.
After Hou Cheng and Li Fei'er successfully registered their names, the staff member skillfully picked up the camera and took a one-inch photo of each of them.
Not long after, two brand new identity cards were completed and handed to them.
The two people who received the information board put it away, took the biscuits and water distributed, and followed the staff to the next step - taking off clothes to check whether there are any signs of bites on the body.
After a careful inspection and confirmation, Hou Cheng and Li Fei'er were taken to different areas according to their gender, namely the men's bathing area and the women's bathing area, to prepare for bathing and cleaning.
For them who are used to taking a bath regularly, this procedure is not unfamiliar or exciting.
But the situation was quite different for some other survivors in the team. They had not enjoyed such a comfortable bathing treatment for a long time, and they all seemed particularly excited.
Some people didn't even care about anything else and just gulped down the water flowing from the shower head.
While happily washing his body which had not been thoroughly cleaned for a long time, he rubbed off the dirt.
"I made the right choice to come here. I was given bread right after I registered! I can even take a shower! There's no shortage of water here! And I can take a shower once a week!"
"That's right, the staff said that as long as you work hard, you will get three meals a day!"
"Great! Finally I don't have to worry anymore!"
"Mom and Dad! You guys didn't make it to the good old days!"
"You're kidding me. If you had given your parents food, they wouldn't have starved to death."
"You're talking nonsense. I didn't have anything to eat at that time either!"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing and go find a job!"
Hou Cheng stood quietly at the bathroom door, but his ears were keenly aware of the idle chatter of others.
He smacked his lips, as if he was quite interested in what he heard, and slowly looked around.
At this time, the base was bustling with people and filled with laughter, presenting a thriving scene.
Many people were holding various tools and were busy moving around in various corners. Some were moving goods, some were repairing houses, and some were reclaiming wasteland...
This bustling scene made Hou Cheng sigh: "Who would have thought that such a peaceful place could be a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones!"
After shaking his head helplessly, Hou Cheng sighed deeply, then turned and walked outside, ready to meet up with Li Feier and Liu Jia.
Because according to the plan, after everyone has taken a shower, they can go find the tour guide together, and the tour guide will lead them to the designated location to assign dormitories.
When Hou Cheng arrived near the city gate, he saw from afar that Li Feier and Liu Jia were already standing there gracefully, and a staff member was enthusiastically introducing the various work contents in the base to them.
The delicate and moving faces of Li Fei'er and Liu Jia undoubtedly became the focus of everyone's attention.
Although the clothes they were wearing seemed a little worn out, they still couldn't conceal their natural beauty.
Especially Li Feier, her super plump figure is even more eye-catching. Even loose clothes can hardly hide her graceful figure. Instead, it is propped up and outlines a charming curve.
Although their clothes were a little dirty, their clean and tidy faces after taking a shower were as radiant as lotus flowers emerging from water, which was unforgettable.
Hou Cheng walked along with steady steps, keenly aware of the many malicious looks around him, which felt like thorns in his back. Most of these looks were very obscure, making it difficult to guess their true intentions.
Among them are the staff within the base and the guards who seem amiable and always have smiles on their faces.
Whenever those guards cast their gazes at Li Feier and Liu Jia, a barely perceptible dark light would quietly flash in their eyes.
It is not difficult to tell from the expressions they revealed at that moment that their inner thoughts are far more complicated than the kindness they show on the surface.
At this moment, a clear and pleasant shout broke the strange silence: "Uncle Hou! Over here!"
Liu Jia saw Hou Cheng from afar and waved to him, and the voice quickly spread around.
The tour guide, who had been concentrating on introducing the situation to Li Feier and others, also looked in the direction Liu Jia was looking after hearing the shout.
When seeing Hou Cheng gradually approaching, the tour guide still had that seemingly sincere smile on his face, but his eyes were like a scanner, looking Hou Cheng up and down in a disguised manner, as if he was secretly evaluating his actual strength.
When Hou Cheng came up to him, before he could say anything, the tour guide took the initiative to greet him and said enthusiastically: "Hello, sir, we can arrange a dormitory for you now, please follow me."
After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation and led everyone towards the dormitory.
Among this group of people, there are not only Hou Cheng, Li Feier and a few others, but also many other survivors moving forward with them.
A closer look reveals that the gender ratio among these people is almost half and half.
Perhaps because he noticed that Hou Cheng and Li Feier's complexions were rosier and healthier than those of the others, the tour guide was particularly polite to them from beginning to end, and even showed a little more patience than with others.
After all, in this environment, a good complexion often means that one has eaten enough and has not suffered from hunger.
Those who can do this usually have certain abilities or means, and are not people who can be easily provoked.
According to the established rules, Li Fei'er and Liu Jia should have been assigned to live in the female dormitory with other female survivors.
