Chapter 94 – “Is This Revenge, Qiu Tin?”
Unlike the base in H City, there is no one waiting at the entrance of Yi Guang base to volunteer to be a “tour guide” and earn some tips.
Because there are very few new people in the base, even if new people come, the official will quickly take over and assign the tasks.
Everyone in the Yi Guang base has his or her own position. From the elderly to the children, even a child, everyone has to complete some simple packaging work.
This sense of order, like that of an ant society, led to the peaceful and orderly scene that Wen Bei saw at this moment.
It has a completely different feeling from the messy and noisy atmosphere of the H City base.
Qiu Tin took Wen Bei to a hotel. The receptionist was a girl with brown hair and pockmarks on her face. When she saw two handsome guys walking towards her, she couldn’t help showing some excitement on her face: “Do you want a room?”
Qiu Tin grabbed a handful of crystals and placed them on top: “Yes.”
The girl counted the crystals and asked, “You guys are staying for five days?”
Qiu Tin said nonchalantly: “Yeah.”
Wen Bei glanced at the girl’s work badge on her chest, which read her name – Sparrow.
Sparrow noticed his gaze and smiled sheepishly: “I lost my memory due to pollution, and I chose my name myself.”
It was a very casual name, but it surprisingly fits her chattering personality.
But because of her amnesia, compared to the indifference of the other people in Yi Guang who were devastated by the end of the world, Sparrow seemed more lively and enthusiastic. She scratched her head: “But I ate poisonous mushrooms and suddenly turned from an ordinary person into a polluter. It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. Among the people who ate the same batch of poisonous mushrooms as me, I am the only one who survived.”
She spoke frankly, as if eating poison was a very common thing.
Wen Bei felt a little strange, but his expression remained calm, and he said casually: “Sometimes it’s good to be an ordinary person.”
He was so perceptive that he observed everyone along the way. Everyone he saw had a serious degree of deformation. Even Sparrow had anti-gravity hair that was tied into braids and floated upwards.
This shows that everyone he saw along the way were polluters.
Given the proportion of polluters in the human population, this is almost impossible.
Even if the Yi Guang base did not take in ordinary people, according to the law of reproduction, newborns are almost all ordinary people. They only have the chance to become polluters if they encounter pollution sources later in life. Therefore, the number of ordinary people can never be less than that of polluters.
Considering the looks he had just received along the way, Wen Bei reasonably suspected that in this base, the living areas for ordinary people and polluters were separated.
As expected, the innocent Sparrow looked very shocked. She didn’t see Wen Bei’s temptation at all, and spoke carelessly: “What’s good about being an ordinary person…”
Before he could finish his words, a loud shout came from behind him.
A bald dwarf jumped out, looking ferocious: “Sparrow, you are chatting again instead of working!? Did you mop the floor today?”
Sparrow was startled and said, “I’ll go right away.”
Then she quickly handed the room card to Qiu Tin and ran away without looking back.
”If the Base hadn’t made me hire her, I wouldn’t have hired such a stupid employee.” The short bald man complained and looked them over.
His eyes paused when they fell on Wen Bei.
Qiu Tin’s red eyes always reveal an evil nature, and with the black mist surrounding him from time to time, no one would doubt his identity as a polluter, just as no one would think that Wen Bei was not an ordinary person.
The short bald man coughed and said, “Although some people like to do this, I still want to remind you that if you bring ordinary people into Area A without permission and are reported, you will be severely punished.”
Wen Bei casually used his supernatural power to control a cup and threw it to the ground, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes: “I am also a polluter.”
He always has a somewhat noble temperament, which can be transformed into an itchy arrogance with just a slight change.
The short bald man was shocked, and he quickly apologized: “I’m sorry.”
Wen Bei didn’t say anything. He walked upstairs with a stern face without giving any explanation.
If he didn’t explain at this time, he could imagine many consequences.
He was not angry either. After all, although the bald boss’s reminder looked harsh, it was actually well-intentioned.
It also made him realize that he was indeed in some danger.
He has special abilities, so he is naturally not afraid of being reported, but he is worried that there will be problems when verifying his identity after being reported.
It is still unknown whether the identity card that Qiu Tin secretly obtained can withstand verification.
He didn’t want to rashly reveal his purpose to the higher-ups of the base. After all, there was something strange and inconsistent about this base.
Wen Bei sat on the bed in the hotel. The bed here was different from the one in the Hotel and was not soft at all. Fortunately, the quilt and pillow looked clean.
He showed a somewhat distressed look. The man who was playing with his fingers beside him tilted his head and said, “Just change your image.”
Wen Bei glanced at him: “Change your image?”
With his temperament, even if he dyed his hair and wore colored contact lenses, he would still be mistaken for an ordinary person if he had no other obvious deformities.
Qiu Tin took out something thin from his pocket and asked, “Try this?”
Wen Bei’s expression was blank for a moment. He stared at the familiar object in Qiu Tin’s hand: “Why do you… have this?”
It was a familiar mask.
It suddenly reminded Wen Bei of the mask he had worn in order to infiltrate the black market at the H City base.
The mask not only changed his appearance, but also gave him cat ears and a cat tail. The furry ears and tail with synesthesia made him very sensitive for a time.
Qiu Tin curled his lips and said, “I thought it might be useful in the future, so I asked the polluter for an extra mask.”
Wen Bei’s eyes changed from surprise to suspicion and finally to a pool of stagnant water: “You did it on purpose.”
He still remembered how helpless he felt when he was bullied by having his cat ears rubbed and was unable to resist.
He definitely wouldn’t want to grow cat ears again.
Qiu Tin saw through his thoughts and was not in a hurry: “Don’t worry, this is not a cat ear or a cat tail.”
Wen Bei looked suspicious: “Really?”
”Really.”
The clock inside the room ticked, and five minutes passed. Wen Bei thought about other more convenient and simple methods in his mind, but in the end he had to take the mask and put it on his face.
At that moment, Wen Bei felt an itch on the top of his head and his tailbone also felt strange.
His eyes were dull for a moment, and he gritted his teeth: “Is this revenge, Qiu Tin?”
Qiu Tin went to find a mirror and gave it to him, saying innocently, “This time it’s really not a kitten, it’s a little fox.”
He couldn’t help but say the last half sentence with a hint of a smile.
Wen Bei: “…”
The face in the mirror was still his original face, without any changes this time. The only difference was that he had grown furry, flame-colored fox ears and a big, fluffy tail with a tuft of white at the tip.
Sensing its owner’s mood, the big tail drooped unhappily.
Qiu Tin took a look and couldn’t help but touch the big tail.
BANG!!
A sudden sound came from the room, and Sparrow that was mopping the floor outside was so scared that she trembled all over and ran away.
The two people inside the room stared at each other.
Qiu Tin covered his abdomen and smiled helplessly: “You are so cruel.”
Of course he could have dodged the punch, but in order to touch the tail, he still took the punch.
Wen Bei did not hold back any strength. He was an adult male with normal strength. He had soaked in the hot spring before and used a bath ball that could increase his strength. If it were an ordinary person with a weak point, his ribs might have been broken by Wen Bei’s punch.
Qiu Tin cooperated and showed an expression of pain.
Even though he knew that given his physical strength, this punch would not hurt him at all, Wen Bei was still strangely comforted.
He showed a cold expression: “Don’t touch me again.”
Little did he know that the triangular ears on his head, which were bent into the shape of an airplane tail, had completely weakened his ferocity, just like his hair standing on end.
Qiu Tin’s hands were itching again. He wanted to touch those furry ears, even if it meant getting punched a few more times.
Unfortunately, before he could put it into action, Wen Bei had already turned around, wagging his tail unhappily: “Let’s go downstairs, I want to see what the system of this base is.”
Qiu Tin retracted his gaze: “Ok.”
He didn’t need to worry. There were still many opportunities.
This time the mask will not disappear for half a month.
They arrived at the hotel. When the short bald man saw Wen Bei’s sudden extra ears and tail, he was just surprised for a moment, but soon returned to normal: “Are you going out?”
Wen Bei looked back at him: “Do you provide dinner here?”
The short bald man shook his head. Out of guilt for mistaking the man for an ordinary person, he couldn’t help but say something extra: “Don’t come back too late.”
Wen Bei: “Is there a curfew?”
Previously, there was a curfew in some areas of the H City base in order to prevent polluters from getting angry and fighting with ordinary people at night, causing the latter to be injured.
The short bald man was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misunderstood. “There is no restriction in our hotel. You can open the room at any time with the room card. But many people died in the recent Red Blood Incident. You’d better not come back too late.”
Red blood incident?
Wen Bei took note of this matter. From the owner’s attitude, he immediately understood that there was no curfew in this base.
At least not in Area A.
Wen Bei walked out, his big furry tail swaying constantly as he was thinking, making it particularly conspicuous.
With such a conspicuous tail and ears, fewer people looked at them sideways on the road.
Occasionally one or two people would look at him, simply because he was pleasing to the eye.
However, Qiu Tin was always by his side, and no one dared to come over and talk to him.
They found a restaurant that looked no different from before the apocalypse. It was decorated luxuriously and had a modern feel. There was a brand new revolving door at the entrance, and the crystal chandelier on the ceiling emitted warm light.
Unlike the H City base, which is full of small civilian restaurants with only small stools and tables, there is no such noisy place here.
After they entered, a waiter immediately appeared in front of them and handed them a menu. Wen Bei could understand all the words on it, but when they were put together, he couldn’t understand what they meant.
What is yogurt stewed eggplant? What are old tree root fried mutant clams…?
Wen Bei pinched his eyebrows, regretting not bringing more instant noodles from his hotel.
He could only order a few dishes that sounded “normal”.
While waiting for the food to be served, he heard a quiet conversation at the table next to them.
”Today…someone died again.”
Wen Bei’s expression paused, and the furry fox ears on his head unconsciously stood up and curved sideways.
