As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the streetlights lining both sides of the road had already lit up.
Meanwhile, the hotel was brightly lit.
From the explanation given by a man wrapped head to toe in a thick Biohazard Suit—who appeared to be the supervisor here—Bai Zhi learned the general outline of this mission.
The number of Severely Infected would not be disclosed, but each Volunteer had three task quotas. Once they completed their own quotas, they could choose to leave.
The thirty Volunteers lined up in groups of three to receive their task quotas from the supervisor, then went into the kitchen to select the corresponding dishes before beginning their deliveries.
...Very flexible.
Although the First Floor Hall of the hotel was spacious, as far as Bai Zhi could see, apart from the thirty Volunteers and the supervisor in the Biohazard Suit, there was no one else. The whole place looked exactly like a Bio-Crisis film set.
An old pendulum clock hung in the hotel lobby.
As he blended into the queue, Bai Zhi raised his head and checked the time. According to the clock, it should have been around five-thirty in the afternoon.
"No... the clock seems to be running a little slow..."
After staring at it for a while, Bai Zhi could not help frowning slightly.
After thinking it over, Bai Zhi took the notepad from his pocket. As his thoughts stirred, several lines of writing visible only to him slowly appeared on its pages.
Although timing things by counting his own heartbeat was not particularly difficult, given a more convenient option, Bai Zhi naturally chose the easier one.
