Defect another world

He was actually killed!
When he woke up again, his whole body was supported by the warm water, and he was sitting lightly on the cement step under the water. The water was about up to his chest. The surroundings were filled with steam. Most of them were sitting in the water taking a bath like him, and some boldly swam to the center of the pool, floating with their feet in the water.

In this branch, he didn't do anything but followed Duan Yu to the health area, rushing to take a bath before the bathroom was closed.

Such a large group of people actually took a bath in the spent fuel pool of a nuclear power plant. This would be unbelievable in normal times. But during the war, for people like him and Duan Yu who had been wallowing in the mud for more than ten days, having hot water to bathe was a life in paradise.

Since it is a spent fuel pool, radiation is naturally inevitable. The mysterious existence behind the Palace of All Things is still using these radiations to subtly transform these people. But overall, compared to the war zone, it is extremely safe here.

All spent fuel is sealed in large lead tanks in a cylindrical shape. Lead blocks most of the radiation, and very little of it affects the human body. Even taking a hot bath here for a whole day is equivalent to the radiation dose of a CT scan.

The real danger in spent fuel pools is that the spent fuel continues to heat up. If it weren't for the flowing water constantly taking away the heat, it would get hotter and hotter until the lead tanks holding them melted, and the spent fuel would leak out.

Therefore, in addition to serving as a bathhouse, this pool also supplies hot water and heating for the entire 11th district. It is an excellent example of waste utilization and environmental protection.

But for Meng Fei, now is a good time to enjoy a hot bath. He immediately opened a new branch without hesitation. In the backup branch, he continued to quietly enjoy the nuclear fuel hot springs. In the main branch, he began to actively plan actions.

Chaikufu did not hide in the cabinet as he thought, but instead set a fatal mechanism inside. Why did he do this? The reason is quite simple.

When one person dies, one more person becomes infected. Tchaikow didn't care who opened the cabinet. Be it cleaners, security personnel, or other residents. If anyone dies from the attack, his goal is achieved.

But where was he himself?

Everyone's cupboards and under the bed in the living area are undoubtedly filled with things they wish for, including Taotie coins and gold bars, as well as all kinds of toys that everyone likes. There is no room for one person - unless there is no one to live in. Outside private room No. 51.

Under the bed in private room 51? He had noticed that place in the branch where the steel ruler was shot. It was empty below and no one was hiding there.

It was impossible for Chaikufu to put on security clothes and blend in among the security personnel. The same move cannot be used twice. After what happened just now, the managers must have strengthened the identity checks of security personnel. Likewise, hiding in the bathroom is impossible.

not good!

An idea suddenly came to his mind. For Chaikufu, a man who had already died once, if he wanted to avoid being discovered, the best way was to hide in the closet, and the second best way was... to stay in a crowded place.

In the noisy and steamy bathroom, everyone is as meticulous as rows of hanging ducks. Who cares what each roast duck looks like? Even if someone happened to bump into him in the bathroom who had seen him before, they probably wouldn't notice.

If so, the camera on the entrance to the bathroom must have caught him. It’s just that security guards don’t always look at the cameras. Even if you stare at them, you won't notice that there is a person who has been "dead" among the crowd.

Meng Fei couldn't help but want to connect his phone to his brain, and then log in to the server in the backend of District 11 to see the surveillance video. If this person is found in the surveillance video, his suspicion can be verified. Then what? Call the manager to block the bathroom and arrest people?
To his surprise, he couldn't connect to any cell phone!
This accident reminded him that he was also sitting naked in the bathtub, and no one around him had a mobile phone. Bathroom rules do not allow storage of items.

They all took off their clothes outside the bathroom and went in to take a shower. All their clothes were thrown into the bucket for recycling and cleaning on the spot. After washing, just choose brand new clothes and pants from the cabinet outside and put them on. Everyone’s cell phones and other belongings are left in private rooms in the living area.

The walls of the bathroom are particularly thick and have the effect of isolating radiation. Considering this is a spent fuel pool, this makes sense. The problem is that the wall blocks his brain waves. His attempt to connect directly to the cameras outside also failed.

Even the clothes were gone, not to mention the emergency call button on the sleeve. It was impossible for him to call the administrator. Then if the murderer goes on a killing spree here...

The more Meng Fei thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He began to search everyone sitting in the bath with his eyes. Although the mist was thick and the area was vast, when he turned on the micro-control, his vision became extremely sensitive. Even if it is vague information, he can quickly grasp the key features.

However, after scanning around, he didn't see the person he was looking for.

In addition to the huge spent fuel pool in the middle, there are a row of shower rooms around it. Meng Fei quietly walked out of the pool and walked along the aisle between the shower room and the bathtub. No, still not! Did that guy run away and hide?
Did he go to the women's bathroom? No... that's impossible, unless he is originally a woman. Otherwise, if you go there, you will be discovered and beaten up immediately, causing a big mess, and you will never be able to hide yourself.

After returning to the bath and sitting down, Duan Yu next to him noticed his return.

"Boss, what did you just do?"

"I went to take a shower."

"Oh, boss, are you planning to go back?"

Most people only shower after taking a bath before leaving. He had only been there for a few minutes, but he still couldn't bear to leave.

"No, I want to soak for a while longer."

Meng Fei stared calmly at the center of the mist-filled bathtub. The water was very deep, it was said to be more than ten meters, so the water surface was bottomless black.

"That's right!"

Duan Yu felt relieved. He usually follows the boss automatically. If the boss stops washing, he has to go back.

"Why don't you take more bubbles with such a good opportunity today? Boss, didn't you notice? The water today is much hotter than before."

"It seems true."

When they took a bath here before, although the water was hot, it was only 34 to 5 degrees Celsius, far from the feeling of a hot bath at home. It's just that the people who come here are people who have suffered a lot from the war and are not so picky. But now the hot water should have reached 40 degrees, which is comparable to the refreshing feeling of a hot spring hotel.

"Hey, you don't understand. That's why we have to stop for a few days for repairs."

What Meng Fei didn't expect was that another bald, round-faced man sitting next to him could understand the Qingmang conversation between him and Duan Yu. If you look closely, you will see that this guy's face is round and bloated, his facial features are a bit sunken in the middle, and his figure is round and strong like a cow, much like the cattle prisoners who live in the north of Qingmang.

"Oh? Why?" Meng Fei asked.

The strong man pointed under the dark water in the center of the bathing pool.

"This is a pool containing nuclear waste from a power plant. The things underneath are piled up with radiant heat. The water is not boiled because there is water flowing underneath. The water goes to other places and cools down and then flows back, just like a river. So, is it normal? The water was lukewarm.

"But there are some valves, pipes, nets, etc. down there, and it gradually gets clogged. If no one takes care of it, the water will get hotter and hotter. If it gets too hot, someone will have to work hard to clean it up. .

"This is going to be really troublesome! You have to wear a wetsuit and it takes a long time to do it. You have to stay in the bathroom for several days."

"Brother understands this very well," Meng Fei showed admiration and extended a thumb, "Brother, did you work in this factory before?"

It's not that Meng Fei didn't know this. What he was curious about was how could this man who looked like he was herding cattle on the grasslands of Beidongzhou know this so well?
"Oh, how can you? I don't understand. The guy named Sero who moved next to me a few days ago told me. He used to do this."

"Sero?"Sero? This name is so familiar. Meng Fei was shocked. Isn't this the man who was just killed in the bathroom? (End of chapter)
