560 Refuge
"Mom, why are we here? What's going on outside?"

The woman hugged the child, gently rubbed his hair, and said softly:
"It's nothing, it's just some...sudden natural disasters happening outside."

Silently swallowing the saliva produced by nervousness, she smiled, and said to her child with ease on the surface:

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

Yes, this is a natural disaster.

"Mom! Isn't the natural disaster very powerful?"

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

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

There is no difference between huddling in a crowded underground shelter with my mother now and huddling to watch fireworks on New Year's Eve.

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

After seeing the last old man with disabilities being brought into the refuge, the watchman who was in charge of guarding the entrance suddenly spoke to his companions:
"Now they can bear it, but it will definitely cause problems after a long time."

Different from the dark bunker imagined by most people, the refuge prepared by the Overwatch Society can be said to exceed almost everyone's imagination.

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

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

Whatever you were doing, whether you wanted to or not, was forcibly taken away.

If they had the energy to think, they might wonder why there is so much space underneath, but most people don't have that leeway.

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

The older watchmen have lost their youthful innocence, are no longer impulsive in doing things, and do not look at issues as radically as before.

"It's definitely not a long-term solution."

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

The young watchman pursed his lips and nodded silently.

Or maybe it was because the environment of the shelter was unexpectedly good.

Perhaps because it just happened, some people are in a state of panic, and have not yet reacted to fear.

Conversations like this between mother and son are still being staged everywhere.

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

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

"Oh...then they'll be all right? I've seen on TV that they're all going to be back in good health."

"Mom, can I still go to school to play with other children in the future?"

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

A huge underground city!

To this, his companion responded as follows:
"It's impossible."

……

"They will return safely."

There was no sign, let alone a little bit of preparedness. Everyone received an emergency notification, and a long siren sounded on the city streets outside, and then they were forcibly brought here.

……

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

"Hehe, yes, definitely will."

Some people smiled and endured, while others broke down and cried bitterly, but the number of the latter was obviously less.

"Extraordinary creatures have already begun to invade in an all-round way. If ordinary people are not concentrated and protected, then during this invasion, the casualties of ordinary people will be an astronomical number that is unacceptable to everyone."

So far, more than [-]% of the residents have been taken to shelters.

After entering the emergency shelter, it was like entering a whole new world. It was not like going underground at all, but rather like entering another world through a special gate.

And the most important point is that the space is large enough, even if the whole city walks in, it will not be crowded.

"Everything we do is not to protect those who don't know what to do, but to protect the innocent people who are willing to believe in us."

only……

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

Total time, six hours and 37 minutes.

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

"It's not captivity, it's protection."

This is an emergency shelter.

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

After being stunned for a moment, the woman nodded with a smile and said:
"Well, yes, definitely will."

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

"As for some shady conspiracy theorists, they will definitely exist forever, and there is no defense against them."

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

There is a huge lighting device overhead to allow sufficient light, and the air in the city is fresh, without the slightest dark and damp smell.

"You have to remember something."

Hearing the child's unintentional question, the woman's hand paused, and after waiting for a while, she continued to gently press the child's head:

He spoke calmly, telling the young man who is destined to take over his burden in the future, and warned:

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

Children's words are unscrupulous, but the listener is interested.

Thinking of this, the child was a little excited and asked curiously:
"The teacher told us at school that there seem to be earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions among natural disasters... Mom! Has the volcano erupted here?"

After he wakes up, he will definitely complain, and he may even behave aggressively.

If it wasn't for that document, it would be really hard for him to imagine that the situation has reached such a serious situation.

"Firefighters, police officers, doctors ... many, many people will be at risk, it's not a happy thing."

"Isn't the volcanic eruption very powerful?"

"Just be patient in this special period."

There was a slight uneasiness hidden in the depths of the elder watchman's eyes, but his words were still full of firmness.

他 说:

"After all, only being alive is the most important thing."
