At noon the next day, the soldier opened the door of the quarantine room as promised.
After a night of torment, all the survivors were almost tortured to look like "ghosts".
So as soon as the soldier entered the room, his instinct was to grip the steel gun in his hand tightly.
If it weren't for Old Lin's timely greeting, the former might really have shot them on the spot, mistaking them for mutated zombies.
The soldier carefully checked everyone's physical condition, and upon confirming that their gloomy complexion was only due to the room's environment, he relaxed and announced:
"Alright! Congratulations everyone, you're cleared! Quarantine is over! Please follow me!"
"Where are we going now?" Wang Qiang asked feebly, his tone was truly like that of a wandering ghost in a horror film. Coupled with the dim atmosphere, it sent a chill down one's spine.
The soldier smiled slightly, then casually pointed to the damp clothes of everyone and said with a grin, "I noticed that your clothes were soaked during the inspection just now. It seems you were quite hot last night, so come on, let's address your hygiene needs!"
Upon hearing this, the previously dispirited and exhausted survivors suddenly perked up.
No joke, nothing could lift their spirits more than a refreshing cold shower after a hot day.
Wen Quanxin was nearly ecstatic to the point of cheering, but before he could shout out, what the soldier said next immediately extinguished his enthusiasm.
"However, I must emphasize a point: there's no power at the base, and the water supply is also cut off. I'm sure all of you have experienced this outside, so I won't elaborate on the preciousness of water. In short, try to conserve water as much as possible when washing up later."
"Then, how much water can one of us use?"
"Two people share half a bottle!" In response to Wu Chao's question, the soldier answered straightforwardly and left the room, ignoring everyone's reaction.
The shower room was located deeper than the quarantine room; to be honest, if not for so many people accompanying, no one would be willing to walk alone in such a dark environment.
Not to mention anything else, just the sound of their "tapping" footsteps echoing leisurely in the air was enough to fray the nerves of anyone in this gloomy atmosphere.
"Alright, this is it!" The soldier halted in front of a door with a "Shower Room" sign hanging.
"Oh man, this is it?" Wang Qiang curiously peeked in.
Not only him, but everyone else also showed a look of surprise.
After all, places like players' shower rooms are less commonly reported in official channels.
This inevitably created a sense of curiosity among the public.
However, after the survivors went in for a collective "inspection," the previously "novel" feeling dissipated, replaced by an "extreme disappointment."
Indeed, there was nothing in the bathroom that could make the survivors' eyes light up.
After all, this gymnasium is just a relic from the last century.
Two rows of opposing fixtures and a tiled basin composed the entirety of this humble room.
"My god! This damn place doesn't even have a partition. I say, Qiangzi! Make sure you don't drop the soap later!" Wen Quanxin nudged Wang Qiang with a mischievous smile.
"Get lost! You damn pervert!" Wang Qiang naturally retorted unceremoniously.
While the two were bantering, the long-awaited water for bathing finally arrived.
Grouped two by two, except for Wei Yang, who was taken to a designated female shower room, the rest of the survivors entered the pool together.
20 minutes, or even less, as the soldier constantly emphasized the preciousness of water in their ears, the survivors already unable to bathe comfortably lost even more interest.
So after a simple wipe and rinse, they changed into new clothes and came out.
Once gathered, without any superfluous words, the soldier maintained the concise and efficient style characteristic of the military, saying succinctly: "Now I'll take you to see our company commander; he has some details he needs to discuss with you."
With that said, everyone followed the soldier back the way they came, and on the way, they happened to run into Hu Xiaodong, whose wound had just been restitched.
Friends meeting naturally ensued a round of inquiries.
Upon learning about the care provided by the military doctor during this time, the hidden concerns of everyone dissipated instantly.
"Alright, brothers, if you have anything to say, let's talk later. Don't keep the military chief waiting!"
Considering the young soldier was still waiting beside them, Old Lin interrupted their conversation at an opportune time.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Perhaps seeing the elder brother's condition improve, Wang Qiang, who previously had intense animosity toward the soldier, now seemed as if he had consumed honey, his attitude taking a 360-degree turn:
"So, um, don't just stand there, let's hurry up and go! Brother Hu, since you're not mobile, there's no need for you to come along. I reckon it won't take long; you can just wait here for us."
Finished with his instructions, Wang Qiang waved his hand and eagerly motioned for the soldier to lead the way forward.
The commander's room was located at the entrance of the players' tunnel, unquestionably the best place in terms of lighting and ventilation in the entire corridor.
Moreover, this location was near Piling Road Port, so if any irregularity occurred at the court, the manager inside could be the first to know and take appropriate action.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Arriving at the target location, the soldier knocked lightly on the door and spoke forcefully, "Report!"
"Come in!" A vigorous and powerful reply also came from inside the room.
Based on this shout, Old Lin judged that this person had been calling out for years; otherwise, their voice could never achieve such resonance and penetrative power.
"Report to the commander, a total of 9 new personnel. No irregularities occurred during the quarantine. Currently, except for 2 people who need rest due to discomfort, the remaining 7 have all been brought in! Please advise!"
"Hmm, good job, Xiao Luo!" Speaking, the man referred to as the commander stood up, then with an extremely gentle smile, he said to the survivor team entering the room one after another:
"Welcome everyone to Yuhuan Gymnasium! Let me introduce myself first; I'm Xu Renjie, the commander of Sharp Blade Company under the XX Regiment! You can just call me Old Xu! By the way, Xiao Luo, have they filled out their forms?"
Hearing this, the soldier surnamed Luo immediately stood straight and reported, "Report to the commander! All 9 individuals have completed their personal information forms! Please review them!"
After saying this, the soldier began to pass the forms held under his arm...
