After leaving Feng Zi at the military factory's production line, Zhang Heng followed Black to continue sightseeing. He saw more people who worked so hard to welcome the arrival of the new world. Some of them were Mr. G's cronies, but most of them were ordinary people who stuck to their jobs.
Just like the workers in the military factory, they were originally in different places, doing different jobs. But now, because of a common belief, they gathered together like drops of water that eventually converged into a raging river.
But what made Black a little disappointed was that Zhang Heng remained calm no matter what he saw from beginning to end. He was like a boulder in the middle of the river. No matter how hard the river washed him, he would not react, and no one could guess what he was thinking.
It was not until dusk that the two came to the last place they visited today.
Unlike before, this was neither an arms production factory nor Mr. G's secret base. It seemed that this place had nothing to do with the so-called new world. On the contrary, this should be the most lethargic place in the entire New Shanghai 0297.
That was because this was a nursing home.
Black parked the car outside the nursing home's gate, but this time, he did not get out of the car. "I'm glad to be your temporary driver and introduce you to our companions. But now, it's time for you to meet your companions."
Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows, but in the end, he did not say anything. He opened the door and walked out.
Unlike the gate, which had been in disrepair for years, Zhang Heng did not expect the interior of this nursing home to be quite beautiful. There was a small garden that looked quite warm, and the flowers and trees were neatly trimmed. There was also a fountain and a fish pond.
Zhang Heng walked through the garden and came to a four-story white building at the back.
The sensor door opened automatically in front of him, and Zhang Heng noticed a light flashing once above his head, accompanied by the sound of taking pictures. Soon after, a nurse in a blue nurse uniform ran out of the duty room in a hurry and gave Zhang Heng a card. "You're here. The elderly you are taking care of is in room 219. Your job and the things you need to pay attention to are written on the card. Just look at it yourself. By the way, welcome to Happy Nursing Home. I hope you can be happy too. "
Seeing that Zhang Heng did not move, the young nurse explained again, "Oh, here's the thing. Our nursing home pursues a happy way of providing for the elderly. We pay special attention to the emotional state and mental health of each elderly person. To put it simply, we encourage them to do what they really want to do, and we also pass on happiness."
"Passing on happiness?"
"Yes, we believe that happiness can be passed on, so the staff of the nursing home also have to pass on happiness to the elderly living here. It may sound a little complicated, but the actual operation is very simple. You just have to make yourself happy, and then pass on this happiness to the elderly you are taking care of."
The nurse patted her head as she spoke. "I almost forgot. I haven't told you about the nursing home yet. Let's go. I'll briefly explain the facilities here to you."
After that, the nurse took Zhang Heng's hand and walked to the other end of the corridor. She pointed to a spacious and bright room with a row of tables and stools. It looked like a banquet hall. "This is the cafeteria. You can tell the chef what you want to eat."
"What do I want to eat? Or do you mean what the elderly I take care of want to eat? "
"Yes, it's what you want to eat. This is the staff cafeteria. The elderly in the nursing home usually eat in their own rooms. After eating here, the staff will bring the food cooked for them upstairs." The nurse smiled sweetly. "How is it? Isn't it simple?"
"Well."
After that, the two came to another room. The nurse continued to explain, "This is the game room. You can play some new video games on the market. If you don't have some old games, you can tell us and ask our staff to purchase them. You can choose to play against each other here. Of course, you can also play on your own. The game room is also equipped with a beverage machine. Don't worry, it's free."
"You let the elderly in your nursing home play games?"
"No, no. This lounge is also for the staff. The elderly in the nursing home also have their own game room. Both sides do not interfere with each other," the nurse replied. "Let's go up to the second floor. There is a swimming pool, a basketball court, and a badminton court."
"These are also for the staff, right?" Zhang Heng seemed to have thought of something.
"No, the basketball court is for the elderly." Seeing Zhang Heng's eyebrows raised again, the nurse burst out laughing. She then added, "I'm just kidding. Of course, it is for the staff. The elderly have their own. Hmm … it's not that intense. Besides, I strongly recommend the spa room on the third floor. Believe me, you must try it once. After that, you will never be able to leave it."
"Isn't the welfare of the staff in your nursing home a little too good?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Well, you are not the first person to ask this question, and I don't think you will be the last. I admit that it looks a little strange, but do you remember the principle of our nursing home? We believe that only by making the staff happy can we pass this happiness to the elderly living here …"
"Thank you, Xiao Yi. Let's stop here. Leave this to me." A voice came from the other end of the corridor, and Miss F walked out.
"Okay, Sister F." The nurse named Xiao Yi stuck out her tongue and returned to the duty room to gossip.
After she left, Miss F also nodded at Zhang Heng, "You are here."
Zhang Heng nodded, paused, and said, "You know what you are doing is actually meaningless, right?"
"It seems that you already know what this nursing home is for." Miss F did not answer Zhang Heng's question. Instead, she gestured for Zhang Heng to go upstairs with her.
"Yes, it's because you pitied the clones who have been used as tools, so you rented them from their company. On the surface, it's to let them work here, but in reality, it's just to let them rest and catch their breath. They are the ones who are really taken care of in this nursing home, not the elderly. The so-called happy delivery is just an excuse to prevent some of their memories from being read and the people from the company finding out about the abnormalities here, but …"
Zhang Heng paused, "You should know that these clones who are rented out to do odd jobs are at the bottom of the entire clone community. Every time they finish a job and go back, their memories will be reset. After that, they will not remember what happened here at all. You are wasting your time."
"I don't agree with you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have played that movie for you when we first met." Miss F shook her head and then said in a serious tone, "To answer your question, they may not remember this memory, but this experience is real. Their happiness is also real. Even if it's only for a short period of time, at least they have lived in this world."
