"Hey, Xiao Xin, you're here," the man in the white coat greeted the young man as he walked in, "Are you here to see Dr. Sang?"
The man in the white coat blinked mysteriously, "He told us to go directly to the tenth floor after we arrived."
Bai Xin paused for a moment as she was about to greet him, then raised her hand again, "Okay, I'll go find him now."
I got back into the elevator and pressed the button for the 10th floor. The elevator slowly opened on the 10th floor.
A tall man was sitting leisurely on a pure white hospital bed, fiddling with something with his head down. The light from above just fell on the man's head, and his originally pale skin suddenly turned into a hazy and transparent texture.
It dispels some paleness and adds a bit of beauty.
The white light shone on the man's fine black hair and thick eyelashes, and the shadows it created hid his sight, making it impossible to see what he was looking at at the moment.
He has a bit of the feeling of a weak young man who doesn't like to compete with the world.
The man seemed to be lost in thought and Bai Xin's arrival did not attract his attention.
It was not until Bai Xin was about to walk up to him that the man seemed to have just heard footsteps. He slowly raised his eyelids and looked over with his dark pupils.
Bai Xin looked at the man he was looking at. At this moment, he still remembered the first time he saw the man in this copy.
The man's eyes at that time were as calm as a Dead Sea, without any waves, and even if a stone was thrown in, no splash would be caused.
He appeared in zombie form and never...
But now there is an ambiguous warmth in the eyes of men. His eyes are also filled with desire and love. He will search in the crowd and look at someone intently.
The originally pale and indifferent man was gradually stained with colorful colors and mottled and complex emotions.
He came alive.
After looking at the man for two seconds, Bai Xin's eyes moved down to the man's hand.
In his hand, his index finger and thumb were holding a transparent crystal core.
The crystal core that is extremely precious to others seems to be just a child's toy to him.
Bai Xin: "Is this the transparent crystal core I tested at that time?"
Dr. Sang did not deny it. He nodded and gently rotated the tips of his two fingers. The transparent crystal core immediately rotated with it. Its angular transparent crystal reflected the white light around it and instantly refracted a colorful glow.
"My ability has been upgraded to level A, and the success rate of obtaining the power of this crystal core is about 80%. If I tell you the origin of this crystal core now, I might want to try it even if the success rate is only 80%."
Bai Xin became interested, "What's your origin?"
Although Dr. Sang kept saying this, he seemed to be lacking in interest. "This crystal core was sent back by Yuan."
Yuan
Isn’t he the genius psychic who participated in the search for the antigen and was eventually wiped out
So where does this crystal core come from
"I think you should have thought of that." Dr. Sang got off the bed and walked straight to Bai Xin. He said in a deep voice, "This crystal core came from that mysterious laboratory."
"Some people with special abilities may absorb memories when they inherit abilities, and the probability of this happening is even higher for people with psychic abilities. If this crystal core is absorbed, in most cases, they will also gain the memories of the person with the crystal core."
"I'm not sure whether this memory is good or bad. It may provide some information to the laboratory, or it may damage my nerves due to the heavy memory."
"But since it's for the mission, I guess he will accept this crystal core without hesitation."
The transparent crystal core lay quietly in the man's hand. He handed it to Bai Xin and motioned the young man to take it.
Bai Xin took the crystal core with one hand. The moment his fingertips touched the crystal core, he immediately felt the slightly hot surface of the crystal core.
"How should I absorb it?" Bai Xin asked the stern man in front of him.
Man: "No rush, I still need to prepare for the operation. I need to further synchronize my spiritual frequency with the frequency of the crystal core."
He paused as he spoke, his eyes swept across the high collar sweater on the young man's chin, and his voice softened, "Has the mark not completely disappeared yet?"
"Does it still hurt?"
Bai Xin's hand shook, and the extremely precious transparent crystal core almost fell to the ground.
He quickly clenched the crystal core awkwardly, his eyes flickering, "I'm just afraid of the cold, I don't understand whether it will subside or not, whether it hurts or not!"
The man smiled mischievously, "Yeah, it shouldn't hurt if you yell that, right?"
Bai Xin felt even more embarrassed.
Men seem to particularly like such young people, who are extremely shy at times, but at other times so bold that they amaze him, and do not play by the rules at all.
The man looked at the young man with a smile in his eyes. When the young man was at a loss, he suddenly pried open his mouth and stuffed a small round bean into his mouth.
A sweet taste with a milky aroma suddenly appeared in the young man's mouth. He chewed it twice, and the milk beans melted in his mouth. Bai Xin looked at the man doubtfully while swallowing it.
The man smiled and said, "It's used to reduce swelling and relieve pain. It can also promote blood circulation and remove bruises."
"I've had a busy day today, it's definitely unique."
He said coquettishly with a slight nasal tone, "I didn't even close my eyes."
Bai Xin swallowed the milk beans completely: "..."
Thank you for your hard work.
Who am I doing this for
I have to say, this bastard definitely wins in terms of personality.
This species of zombies, tsk tsk tsk.
My whole body is stiff, but I don't even know how to write "tired".
Seeing the man's increasingly perplexed look, the young man quickly changed the subject: "It's time to investigate the three hidden black holes."
"I have a question. If I absorb this crystal core, is it very likely that the authorities will let me go to that mysterious laboratory to look for antigens?"
The man nodded: "Yeah."
Bai Xin: "Then?"
Man: "First investigate the three black holes mentioned, and then absorb the crystal core after the investigation is completed."
Bai Xin thought for two seconds and nodded in agreement with the man's suggestion: "Okay."
"I took a quick look at the three black hole locations that were marked that night, and I could probably guess where two of them were."
"The first place is at the southwest corner at the bottom. That's Dr. Adolf's laboratory. Although I'm not familiar with Dr. Adolf, if it were me, I wouldn't have to sneak around. I could bring him in directly. Technical exchanges between researchers are also possible."
"The other one, in the middle, is the prison for those with special abilities."
"Billy, who was bullied before, is also imprisoned there. They are holding some serious criminals, and protective devices have been installed around them to prevent detection."
"As for the third place, I don't know."
The man said without hesitation: "If I want to go to prison, I can find a very reasonable reason to go there."
As he was speaking, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the young man, with arrogance in the corners of his eyes, "So, am I awesome?"
Praise me now.
Bai Xin: “…”
What are you doing all of a sudden
____________________________
Studio.
A generation of zombies finally turned into dogs. Alas, as expected, the big guys all have the same fate.
Just a moment ago, I seemed to see a huge tail swaying like a cattail fan.
After a night of sound sleep, God Xin quietly emptied the boss's assets.
I just switched some shots. Song Yuantian and Song Hui are heading north, and it seems that the progress is going smoothly.
That's good, let's wait for their triumphant return.
But the people the Song Society is looking for should not be easy to find, right? The crustal movement, the melting of glaciers, the time factor, and the huge size of the glaciers make it very difficult.
After all, he is the leader of the third largest guild. Even though Song Hui looks sickly all day long, he is very strong, so there is no need to worry.
Speaking of which, I just realized that our Xin Shen also knows how to do it. Have you noticed? The Xinhuo Guild knows how to do it.
Hahaha, I noticed it a long time ago. The position in the Xinhuo Guild has been vacant for so long, and I had guessed that they were leaving it for Xin Shen, but I just realized that I had already submitted my application to join.
Fuck, good dog, I want one too!
Unfortunately, my application for membership was not approved.
Hey, is it so difficult to join the Xinhuo Guild
Of course, you just found out, didn't you? I've applied several times and been rejected several times. Their membership requirements have always been unclear. They don't look at level or strength. There are 500 levels of members, but only a dozen levels of members. Other guilds are vying for people, but Xinhuo Guild actually rejected them.
I think it's easy to join the Xinhuo Guild. I'm here and my application was approved on the first try.
Hiss, this standard survivor deviation. But how did you get in, good brother, tell me about your experience of joining.
I don’t have any experience, so I just filled out the application form that was sent to me, and the next day I received news that my application was approved.
Isn't there any moral test in helping the elderly, sweeping the broom in the office, or tying other people's shoelaces
Hahaha, what is that? No, I think so. I just sent out an application form at that time.
Lost in thoughtjpg.
I just made a bold guess.
Varied
Could it be that Xin Shen's luck is so bad that in order not to affect the luck of this guild, all applications are based on luck? Random selection, those who are selected prove good luck, and those who are not selected prove bad luck.
Um, is it really that careless
… If you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem impossible
Xin Shen: Enough!
Li Cangshan fell into deep thought as he watched the application form being rejected again. He was just about to skillfully put the application form into the recycle bin, but suddenly stopped when he saw the content flashing by on the barrage.
Reopening the application form, he carefully read over what he had filled out from beginning to end.
Professional athletes.
Age: 24.
"Sex: Male.
Personality: Serious and responsible, able to take care of the overall situation and obey organizational arrangements.
I especially like to write about a lot of good deeds that I have done.
He is absolutely perfect, and can be said to be impeccable. He is truly a good young man in society with overwhelming political abilities.
Is it really luck
In just a few days, he had climbed to the 30th floor, but he still couldn't see the upper floors he needed to enter.
The further he went into the dungeon, the more he realized the difficulty of fighting alone.
A loyal ally is too important, not only important, but also urgent.
It had been less than a month since he entered the sect, and he had already witnessed too many deaths.
If he were to keep procrastinating like this, by the time he reached the control area, the opportunity would have been lost.
Maybe by then the evil alien forces will have already ruled the Blue Planet and the Galactic Galaxy.
Li Cangshan stared at the application form in front of him. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the problem might really be with his luck.
He quickly opened a new application form and filled in the fake identity skillfully. When he came to the part about lucky hobbies, he wrote a few big words with a stroke of his pen: Good luck thief!
After finishing, Li Cangshan nodded with satisfaction and submitted the application form again.
________________________________________
The few people who stayed on the Ark also quickly arranged their tasks.
Bai Xin, Dr. Sang and Xia Chi were responsible for going to Dr. Adolf's laboratory.
Li Cancan, the young psychic and the third oldest went to a completely unknown place, while the remaining two from Song Yuantianfang went to prison.
It was around four o'clock in the afternoon. Dr. Sang took Bai Xin and Naya to an elevator that even Naya was unfamiliar with and slowly went down.
Before parting, Bai Xin asked the young psychics a question, which was "How is the restoration work of the photos going?"
After receiving a negative reply, Bai Xin showed a lot of disappointment.
After all, according to the initial calculations, the repair would take at least three or four days, and now, at most, the repair has only been completed for two days.
________________________________________
In the cramped and silent environment of the elevator, time seemed to slow down.
Xia Chi followed Bai Xin carefully, but his eyes would occasionally fall on Dr. Sang in front of him.
Seeing Xia Chi's trembling expression, Bai Xin was a little amused, "Are you scared now? What about when you rejected me back then? Why are you scared now?"
"Brother," Xia Chi stealthily pulled Bai Xin to another corner of the elevator and whispered carefully into Bai Xin's ear, "Did you sleep with the boss?"
This time, not only Bai Xin widened his eyes, but even the man who had been lazy from the beginning secretly pricked up his ears.
Bai Xin: “???”
Xia Chi, are you okay
Xia Chi swallowed awkwardly, "I don't know why, but my mind has been jumping lately. I'll tell you secretly, brother. Boss, he is very likely a zombie. Isn't it said that if a zombie scratches you, you are likely to be infected with the zombie virus?"
"Then sleeping with a big boss is also very dangerous. He might bite you when the passion is strong."
Xia Chi became more and more anxious as he spoke, "Brother, how about we give up our brother-in-law in this copy for now? Safety comes first. I don't want to see another copy forced to stay and the two of us be separated forever."
Dr. Sang: “?”
Bai Xin frowned: "?"
Forever separated? Is this the way the word is used
Are you still a senior in high school
Oh, sorry, I forgot that high school knowledge will degenerate to kindergarten level as time goes by.

《???》
"Forever Separated"
Xia Chi really made me witness the phenomenon of high school students regressing. Xia Chi used to have knowledge reserves of only enough to know the exact time of telephone area codes, but now Xia Chi can't even use idioms.
Contemporary Senior High School Students
Contemporary Dasheng
But isn't it too late for Xia Chi to realize this? The matter has already been settled.
Hindsight
____________________________
The elevator stopped at the twenty-eighth floor underground.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they saw a sturdy old man.
Judging from his appearance, he looked to be only about seventy years old, and his appearance was almost the same as the one Bai Xin had seen in the photo.
Twenty years have passed and there is not even a sign of aging.
Bai Xin's gaze fell silently on the nameplate hanging on the left chest of the old man's white coat.
Dr. Adolph Henry.
Head of a dedicated research project on infectious viruses.
Seeing the arrival of several people, Adolf immediately came forward and extended his hand to Dr. Sang warmly and familiarly: "Sang, it's been a long time since we last met."
The level of enthusiasm left Xia Chi dumbfounded, who once thought that people engaged in scientific research had low emotional intelligence.
Dr. Sang still had that indifferent look. Even though the other party was so enthusiastic, he still said indifferently: "Okay, Dr. Adolf."
Dr. Adolf quickly looked at Bai Xin and the other man, then quickly turned his attention back to Dr. Sang, "I heard that you had a problem, so I came over immediately. What's going on?"
Dr. Sang: "Yes, I performed an organ transplant on a person with special abilities a few days ago. It was very successful during my operation, but for some reason, the operation failed."
"The mutant did not inherit the ability, and the ability suddenly disappeared without being absorbed."
"This is something I have never seen before. I thought you had studied this before, so I came here to ask you for advice."
Dr. Adolf immediately fell into deep thought. "This failed case is indeed interesting. Let's talk about it while we walk. I have been studying infectious viruses for many years. I need to give you more details on that question."
"Of course," Dr. Sang pulled out a USB flash drive from his pocket, "All the data and information from that time are here. If you don't mind and have the time, you can help me take a look."
Dr. Adolf took the USB drive and said, "Okay, of course, follow me."
Along the way, Adolf was talking with Dr. Sang about technical issues. Xia Chi didn't understand at all and looked around absentmindedly. Bai Xin also ignored him.
While the two doctors in the front were chatting, the two behind them were not idle either.
Bai Xin discovered that this laboratory should be a very large system, with heavy steel plates supporting the ground and sufficient anti-earthquake and anti-collapse measures.
This is Dr. Adolf’s mysterious laboratory, and many players have been sent in here one after another.
While Bai Xin was busy out these days, Xia Chi and the others who had been staying in the Ark had been busy.
I don't know what's going on recently, but the zombie crazes are becoming more and more frequent. In the past few days, two more waves of zombies have appeared.
During these two battles, some players were unfortunately infected and died, and more than a dozen players were sent here.
This is a big laboratory. I wonder where those players are at the moment.
These days, except for the infected players who died in battle, they did not receive any death reminders at other times. This means that even if there might be something wrong with Adolf, at least the players are still alive.
"Come to think of it, the last time I saw you was more than ten years ago. Sang, you really haven't changed at all," Dr. Adolf's voice drew Bai Xin's attention back, "You're still that young, it's really strange, it's as if you've never experienced anything."
Dr. Sang: "You too, I was scared when I first saw you just now. I thought it was your ghost standing in front of me. You really haven't changed at all."
Bai Xin and Xia Chi looked at each other, and Xia Chi frowned secretly.
Dr. Adolf: "I have nothing special. I just purified a special kind of germ from the nutrient solution. As long as you take this germ, you can greatly delay the growth of cells, so you won't look old. What do you think?"
Dr. Sang: "I simply don't look old. I'm still young."
Bai Xin: “…”
Will this kind of clumsy effort to approximate the content of the text really not backfire
Also, the old man's explanation is a bit far-fetched.
The cause of human aging is the lack of telomerase. Every time a cell divides, a little telomerase is lost at the end. When the telomerase is too little, people gradually enter old age.
Overcoming aging has always been an eternal research topic for mankind. Although human scientists have discovered telomerase and know the secret of cell division, they can only delay aging.
But Adolf's condition can't be considered a delay, but a complete pause and even a bit of a reversal.
He could even vaguely see a hint of gold at the roots of Adolf's pure white hair.
Dr. Zang is not a zombie because he himself is a zombie, what about Adolf
________________________________________
As they walked deeper, the corridor, which had remained unchanged around them, began to change.
Gradually, four laboratories with glass walls appeared on both sides. Perhaps the dazzling array of instruments were really the unified configuration of the laboratories.
They finally saw the staff other than Dr. Adolf.
The testers lowered their heads and carried out their work, which looked extremely busy and meaningful.
Bai Xin recalled the photos of Dr. Sang's house in his mind, and seemed to randomly overlap the examiners and the people in the photos.
After repeated comparisons, it was found that except for Dr. Adolf who was walking in front, no one else appeared in the photo.
"Come to think of it, I wanted to ask you just now," Bai Xin felt Dr. Adolf glance at him and Xia Chi, "Who are they?"
Dr. Sang: "One of my test subjects is very consistent with the transparent crystal core."
Adolf looked at me with a scrutinizing look this time. "I see. No wonder you came to me all of a sudden. The failure of the last test must have been a big blow to you. You must be afraid that this important operation will fail again, so you came to ask me."
Dr. Sand didn't say anything.
Adolf continued to speak: "Failure is the mother of success. In my long research career, I have encountered many failures. It's nothing."
He paused for two seconds, "But if you are still worried, I can help you complete this test?"
Dr. Sang's eyes flashed with a cold light: "No thanks, I'll do it myself."
Dr. Adolf didn't say anything else, but the unclear look in his eyes seemed to be more complicated than that.
Several people then walked into the computer room. Just as Dr. Sang inserted the USB drive into the computer, Dr. Adolf spoke again, but this time he was talking to Bai Xin and the others: "Are you two interested in my laboratory?"
Dr. Adolf smiled, his eyes slightly curved on his youthful face, and his smile was kind and gentle. "I noticed that you have been looking around since just now."
Xia Chi looked at Bai Xin, who nodded slightly: "This is my first time seeing such a large laboratory. I couldn't control myself for a moment. I'm sorry, Dr. Adolf."
"Hahahaha," Dr. Adolf laughed loudly, "Look at what this kid said. What's there to be embarrassed about? How about this? I'll ask someone to take you on a tour of the laboratory. How about that?"
Bai Xin and Xia Chi looked at each other suspiciously: "."
Such a good thing
Is this Dr. Adolf really a good person
In the end, Bai Xin chose to nod, "I really want to take a look, is that ok?"
Adolf smiled again, "Of course, as long as Dr. Sang agrees. After all, we are the ones brought here by Dr. Sang."
Three pairs of eyes immediately fell on the man, and all the pressure was now on the man.
Bai Xin stared at the man with burning eyes: "."
Just try to say “no”.
The man pursed his lips: "Okay..."
What else can I say
____________________________
Studio.
It was passed down, the boss was forced to close for business.
God Xin: If you dare to say "no", I will twist your head off.
Hahaha.
Boss, it’s hard.
__________________________________________________
Adolf knocked on the door of the next room, and soon four people in white coats and masks came over.
They were all muscular men, wearing white doctor caps on their heads, with only a pair of lifeless eyes exposed on their faces.
Adolf: "Show the two guests around the laboratory and introduce them to it."
Two minutes later, Bai Xin and Xia Chi followed the four people and left without looking back.
Dr. Sang: “…”
When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked.
Too much.
He had always suspected that Dr. Adolf was related to the secret Laboratory No. 13, so even if Dr. Adolf did not bring anyone to introduce it, he would find a way to investigate. Now that Dr. Adolf had someone take them on a tour, it actually saved them a lot of trouble.
"This is the pathology laboratory," he led Bai Xin and Xia Chi through the laboratory with ease, and they soon came to a large glass window.
There are busy staff in green protective suits, and their black tables and cabinets are filled with various small boxes and small instruments.
"We require a sterile environment, so we can just take a quick look outside. You can't go in." A white coat said simply, "Our laboratory is the largest laboratory in the Ark. The laboratory contains a total of 242 glass rooms of various sizes. The equipment in each glass room is priceless."
"Two hundred rooms, how long will it take to finish them?" Xia Chi looked around in amazement, "Is it really this big?"
White coat: "Of course, let me see what you are most interested in."
Bai Xin: "I've always been curious about where those mutants who were scratched by zombies but not infected with the zombie virus are. Aren't they infected? Why haven't they been released after all this time?"
The man in the white coat chuckled and said, "So you guys want to see this. Come with us."
Walking on the winding and complex single corridor, they quickly passed through one path after another, and at this moment, the two heard a shrill roar.
The sound feels a bit like a dolphin, ethereal and distant.
The sound seemed very close, yet it seemed to be right next to my ear.
Bai Xin stopped and asked the man in the white coat, "What's that sound?"
White coat: "This is the special ring tone of our laboratory."
Seeing Bai Xin's slightly frowned brows, the man in the white coat patiently explained, "We are human beings after all. Staying on the 20th floor underground without seeing the sun every day would make anyone feel suffocated. In order to adjust our mood, Dr. Adolf caught a safe dolphin that was not infected."
"Every time we hear the calls of dolphins, we can let go of our fatigue and boredom for a short time, our mood will instantly improve, and our work efficiency will be greatly improved."
Bai Xin's eyes flashed with surprise, and he changed the subject: "I suddenly wanted to see this dolphin."
"That won't do," one of the white coats waved his hand and rejected Bai Xin, "Dolphins are our spiritual pillars. Normally, even we can't see them because they get scared when strangers appear. So, except for Dr. Adolf and the keepers, no one else can see the dolphins."
"It doesn't matter whether it sees or not," the man in the white coat saw Bai Xin's slightly frowned brows and thought that the other party was unwilling, so he explained seriously, "As long as it can help us, it's fine."
"Then let's continue to see the patients who were sent here."
Seeing the other party's affirmative words, Bai Xin did not continue. He just looked at Xia Chi and chose to compromise.
On the way forward, Bai Xin simply asked these psychics why they had not left.
"Because the infection period of the zombie virus is very long," the man in the white coat still had that numb expression, but he was never impatient during the conversation, "Although they appear to be safe now, there is a chance that the zombie virus that has been conquering them will spread all over their body one day."
"According to our research, the longest incubation period of the zombie virus is 20 days. During these 20 days, we will observe and care for them in all aspects, and will not release them until 20 days later. If someone is infected during this period, although it is regrettable, we can only kill them."
Xia Chi: "Oh, so that's how it is. Is that a latent zombie virus?"
White coat: "No. One-twentieth."
Xia Chi: "Fuck, one twentieth is not enough?"
White coat: "Compared to those humans who are 100% infected, this is very lucky. It's just that God gave them a second life."
As they were talking, they came to a glass window.
There are small squares in the glass window, and in each small square there is a bed, and on each bed there is a person lying.
Bai Xin looked behind the glass and found that almost all the players who were scratched by zombies but not infected with the virus were here.
They lay quietly on the hospital beds, their skin rosy, smiles on their lips, and they looked like they were sleeping soundly.
After seeing this, Xia Chi couldn't help but sigh: "Brother, they seem to be very comfortable here. They don't have to go out to fight zombies every day. They can complete the mission just by lying down."
The man in the white coat also nodded: "Yes, Dr. Adolf is very kind. He is old and has experienced a lot. When he sees younger people, he will cherish them like his own children."
"So give them the best places to live and the best food to eat."
"Dr. Adolf is truly the most kind scientist in the world."
Bai Xin looked around carefully again. There were many players participating this time. He had always had a habit of silently memorizing the faces and features of all the players in his mind.
There is no reason, just out of instinct.
He started from the first bed and slowly identified them one by one. After he finished looking at the last bed, he nodded as if nothing had happened and said, "It's pretty cool. Are they all here?"
The man in the white coat nodded quickly without hesitation: "Of course, it's all here."
lie.
Bai Xin's eyes dimmed slightly, and he looked at Xia Chi silently.
The answer was given too quickly. It was a subconscious answer without any thinking, as if he was just reciting the answer he had memorized.
Moreover, he checked carefully and found that the people seemed to be complete, but there were three people missing, the first three.
These four people are very much like the perfect public relations people who deal with interviews in today's society, presenting their best to others, but the content of their conversations may not be true.
In the distance, the ethereal cry sounded again.
Bai Xin also discovered clues from the expressions of these people.
Although they tried hard to maintain their composure, their expressions were somewhat tense. Despite their numb eyes, there was an imperceptible tremor in the corners of their eyes.
It's exactly the opposite of what they said.
Not only do they dislike this sound, they are actually afraid of it.
Looking at this laboratory, there are indeed some problems.
Bai Xin winked at Xia Chi, who instantly turned pale and covered his stomach, shouting, "Ouch, my stomach hurts."
The four white coats made the same numb expression, and one of them asked in a somewhat unfamiliar tone, "What's wrong?"
Xia Chi: "I think I ate something bad at noon, I want to go to the bathroom, big brother, is this the bathroom?"
The four of them stared at each other blankly, and then one of them raised his hand stiffly and pointed to a corner, "That."
—Shit escape, worth embracing.
