Chapter 155: Terminal
The smell in the terminal is very bad, and most of the free people who gather here from all over the world are emaciated, tired, dirty and smelly "beggars".
They lined up like a long line, and the speed of exit was very slow, and most of them still had uneasiness and anxiety on their faces. People who have experienced the cruelty of the last days will inevitably feel fearful and sensitive when they expose themselves unhindered again.
Although everyone is trying not to make any noise, because of the large number of people, it is like a place full of flies, and there are all kinds of low noises.
This noise made the living people even more uneasy, but fortunately, there were still a few staff around them, and the ease and carefree in them comforted every newcomer here.
"Hello, we are" Wei Xuancheng took his wife's hand, a little nervously, to inquire about a staff member.
This is a middle-aged man, with yellow skin, a clean and tidy uniform, no odor on his body, and a ruddy face. He didn't listen to Wei Xuancheng's questioning, and interrupted him a little rudely, not so civilized and polite.
"Go to the queue, take a shower, get your ID card, and learn kung fu, and then you can eat and go out." When he was talking to Wei Xuancheng, a newcomer came to inquire.
Listening to the middle-aged man, saying the same thing over and over again, Wei Xuancheng and his wife Zeng Min glanced at each other, as if they understood his impatience and impoliteness.
Wei Xuancheng and his wife lined up behind a long line, and in front of them was a tall white man, above the back of his neck. It's a hideous scar, which is left every time the "worm line" is drawn. His wounds, some of which were infected, were pus and foul-smelling.
"He just said to take a bath, is there still hot water here? What a luxury. A young white man and his companion behind Wei Xuancheng said.
"No, I don't think we had that much luck, maybe cold water." His companion replied.
His words made Wei Xuancheng and Zeng Min a little nervous, such a cold weather. Take a cool shower. That's a fatal thing.
"Oh my God! I'm going to catch a cold, I'm going to die like I'm terminally ill! The young man behind him exclaimed.
"Maybe it won't be that bad, don't worry. We'll live. His companions comforted him.
The hands of Wei Xuancheng and his wife Zeng Min. The grip is tighter. They were also very nervous. In today's lack of medical treatment, illness is a battle with death for everyone.
Until the slowly moving several long dragons. Approaching a temporary building with several doors open on its outer wall. Between the opening and closing of the gate, a little white water vapor came out, which made Wei Xuancheng and his wife, as well as several people behind them, let go of the worries in their hearts.
"Men go to the left, and women to the right. Everyone only has 15 minutes to take a shower, don't keep the people behind you waiting long or they'll kick you in the ass. A dark-skinned staff member, shouting loudly over and over again, spoke English.
On the sign at the gate, Chinese characters are written, and the content on them is basically the same as that of the black staff, but the words are much more euphemistic.
On the runway outside the terminal, almost every 10 to 15 minutes, a plane landed, and behind Wei Xuancheng and his wife, there was already a queue of people, and the long winding line was separated by the building, with no end in sight.
Wei Xuancheng and his wife finally stood in front of the bathroom door, and the water vapor leaking out of the door smelled of sulfur, mixed with various peculiar smells, which was very pungent. Beside them, the black staff member's voice was loud and harsh, which made Wei Xuancheng and his wife feel even more uncomfortable.
The hands of the quartz clock hanging on the gate pointed to the hour again, and the door in front of Wei Xuancheng "clicked" and was pulled open by the black staff next to him. Because there is also a leather cotton curtain inside, there is not much heat coming out, but the pungent smell is even more choking.
"Hurry up, get 30 in, and don't let me kick your ass." The black staff yelled as they remembered the number of people who had entered, and when they had counted 30 people, they slammed the door shut.
Wei Xuancheng lifted the cotton curtain, and there was another wall in front of him, and a door was opened on the left and right sides, and men and women were marked in various languages on the side of the door.
The lights here were dim, and the smoky water vapor made it impossible to see inside the door. The hot and humid water vapor made the place a little stuffy, but the pungent and choking smell was no longer as unbearable as it had just been.
The time was only 15 minutes, and Wei Xuancheng said to his wife: "Round outside, see you or leave." After speaking, he let go of his wife Zeng Min's hand.
"See you or leave," Zeng Min also said, but his husband had already been squeezed into the door on the left by the people behind.
Among the 30 people in this wave, there were only 2 women, and the small hall at the door was very narrow, and her husband couldn't stay for a moment longer.
Zeng Min entered the door on the right, and unexpectedly found that there was a woman sitting in the door, she was a white person, wearing a bikini swimsuit, with a good figure, long golden hair, but she was a little older.
She just glanced at Zeng Min and another lady who came in, and then closed her eyes again, as if she was napping. Originally, Zeng Min wanted to say hello to her, but when he saw her close her eyes, he stopped talking.
That knew that Zeng Min had only taken two or three steps, and before she could see the environment clearly, she heard a "bang" behind her, and then someone was moaning. Before she could turn around, she heard someone yelling in English, "Go back to your men's bathroom, this is the women's bathroom." ”
When Zeng Min turned around, the blonde woman was sitting back, she was obviously the security guard here, preventing men who had other intentions, or who had gone through the wrong door, from entering the women's bathroom.
"Thank you" Zeng Min expressed her gratitude to her, as a religious believer, she should be grateful for the help of others.
The blonde woman nodded and said, "There are few women, you can ignore the 15-minute rule and wash a little more." She closed her eyes again, and seemed to be napping again.
There was only a shower in the bathroom, no shower gel, no shampoo, only soap, but such a hot bath was also a joy. You must know that after the end of the world, many people have not bathed again, and the bitter cold outside, and the rapidly destroyed civilized world, have changed the way of life of everyone who is still alive.
Wei Xuancheng waited anxiously, and it took 45 minutes for his wife to come out of the door. Her white skin was flushed with pink, and she looked so charming, and the new clothes that didn't fit her body looked fat and bloated, but they were extremely cute.
"Dry your hair, don't get frostbite." Wei Xuancheng used the sleeves of his new clothes to help his wife wipe her hair, and the anxiety and worry just now instantly disappeared the moment he saw his wife. This is the little bond and support he has left in this world.
Zeng Min smiled sweetly, enjoying her husband's thoughtfulness and love, at this moment, there was no trace of fear in her heart.
Perhaps because of the crowd effect, people who have taken a bath seem to be much more relaxed. There was still a long queue here, and the noise was a little louder, and even some young people whispered a tune that they hadn't hummed for a long time.
The process of receiving a number plate is very simple, only need to fill out a resume form for each person, and a simple small iron sheet will be issued, engraved with a string of letters and numbers. And this is the identification number plate of everyone here, in the future.
Closer and closer to the exit on the second floor of the terminal, people are already able to smell the aroma of food. Listening to the shouts of the staff around me, as long as you finish learning "Kung Fu", you can go to the first floor to get food. This made the hungry people a little commotion, and they crowded around the people in front, trying to speed up the speed of moving forward.
"You, and you, come out." Suddenly, a staff member walked over and pointed at Wei Xuancheng and his wife.
"We?!" Wei Xuancheng pointed to himself and his wife, and he was a little uneasy.
From the expressionless faces of the staff, Wei Xuancheng and Zeng Min didn't see any information, and they were instinctively a little frightened.
"It's you, take it." As soon as the staff finished speaking, two more staff members came over and dragged them out of the group. Their strength is very strong, and they can't tolerate any resistance from Wei Xuancheng and his wife. (To be continued......)
