Chapter 560 Shelter

"Mom, why are we here? What happened outside?"

The woman held the child, rubbed his hair tenderly, and spoke softly:

"It's nothing, there are just some... sudden natural disasters happening outside."

Silently swallowing the saliva caused by nervousness, she smiled and said to her child in a relaxed manner:

"Do you remember the natural disaster that mom told you before? This is a natural disaster."

Yes, this is a natural disaster.

"Mom! Aren't natural disasters serious?"

"...It's very powerful. It can cause harm to people, so we have to hide here together."

The child in the woman's arms suddenly became energetic at this time. Children at this age have no real concept of danger and disaster.

Now, squeezing into a crowded underground shelter with my mother is no different from squeezing in to watch the fireworks during New Year's Eve.

To him, the current "escape" sounds similar to the "hide and seek" played by children.

"As for some dark conspiracy theorists, they will definitely exist forever, and they cannot be guarded against."

"You have to remember something."

Holding the child tightly, the woman warmed the child's body and at the same time gained the strength to persevere from that small body.

The older watchman has lost the youthfulness of his youth, is no longer impulsive in doing things, and does not view problems as radically as before.

To this, his companion responded:

"There's no way around it."

After being stunned for a moment, the woman nodded with a smile and said:

"Well, it will, it will definitely happen."

After entering the emergency shelter, it was like entering a whole new world. It didn't feel like going underground at all. Instead, it felt like walking through a special door and entering another world.

"This is not imprisonment, but protection."

If they have the energy to think, they may wonder why there is so much space underneath, but most people don't have such margins.

"Everything we do is not to protect those who are ungrateful, but to protect the majority of innocent people who are willing to believe in us."

A huge underground city!

If it weren't for that document, it would be hard for him to imagine that the situation had reached such a serious point.

Thinking of this, the child was a little excited and asked curiously:

"The teacher told us in school that there seemed to be earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions in natural disasters...Mom! Did the volcano erupt here?"

"Mom doesn't know what's going on outside, but she knows one thing, and it's not a good thing."

…

This is an emergency shelter.

Not to mention that ordinary people can't accept it, even he has a hard time calming down his emotions.

Blinking his eyes, the child's excitement gradually calmed down. He instinctively felt a little uneasy. He secretly looked up at his mother's expression and asked tentatively:

The total time taken was six hours and thirty-seven minutes.

"They will return safely."

"You also saw the notice and understand what the situation is like now."

…

"Now that you know, you should know that this is the best solution that can be achieved at present."

"Mom, can I still go to school and play with other children?"

"Isn't the volcanic eruption very powerful?"

Some people forced themselves to smile and endure, while others broke down and cried bitterly, but the number of the latter was obviously smaller.

Maybe because it just happened, some people are in a panic and haven't reacted yet to feel fear.

In his young life, this word was very far away from his world and could only be seen in picture books.

"...I don't like it very much, but I want to play with my friends."

"In addition, although the current conditions are not good and they may have some negative emotions, at least their life safety can be guaranteed, and this... is actually enough."

Like the old man just now, he couldn't understand what was going on outside and stubbornly wanted to stay in his small vegetable garden, so he was eventually brought in by force.

Hearing the child's unintentional question, the woman's hand paused and waited for a while before continuing to gently press the child's head:

"Oh? Do you want to go to school?"

Children's words are unbridled, but the listener has an intention.

At the beginning, many people were worried that this was a new type of conspiracy and that their personal freedom would be restricted. Some people wanted to resist, but in the end, those people chose to be obedient.

Without any warning, and without the slightest precaution, everyone received an emergency notice. A long siren sounded on the city streets outside, and then they were forcibly brought here.

Conversations similar to this between mother and son are still happening everywhere.

There is no fear in his heart, only the freshness of new things.

"Firefighters, policemen, doctors...many, many people will be in danger. This is not a happy thing."

"Oh...then will they be fine? I saw on TV that they will all come back in good health."

After seeing the last old man with limited mobility being brought into the shelter, the watchman responsible for guarding the entrance suddenly spoke to his companions:

"They can tolerate it now, but over time there will definitely be problems."

"This is definitely not a long-term solution."

No matter what you were doing, no matter whether you wanted to or not, you were all forcibly taken away.

Although a child does not need to know too much, he also needs to understand that someone is paying for him.

There is a huge lighting device above the head to provide sufficient light. The air in the city is fresh and there is no dark and humid smell.

The young watchman pursed his lips and nodded silently.

Or maybe it's because the environment of the shelter is unexpectedly good.

At this point, more than 95% of the residents have been taken to shelters.

"Haha, it will happen, it will definitely happen."

"The extraordinary creatures have begun a full-scale invasion. If ordinary people are not protected intensively, then the casualties of ordinary people during this invasion will be an astronomical number that no one can accept."

Unlike the dark bunker that most people imagine, the evacuation prepared by the Watch Society can be said to be beyond almost everyone's imagination.

When he wakes up, he will definitely still complain, and he may even do some drastic behavior.

And the most important thing is that the space is large enough, even if people from the whole city walk in, there will be no crowding.

He spoke calmly, telling the young people destined to take over his burden in the future, and warning:

only……

"Please be patient during this special period."

There was a touch of uneasiness hidden deep in the eyes of the older watcher, but his words were still full of determination.

He said:

"After all, only living is the most important thing."
