A clearly audible sound of footsteps silenced everyone in the hall.
That's on the second floor, Deli's room.
He is also the person with more say in this shelter...
At least, until a bigger boss appears, his words are the rules here.
Although Chen Xiaowei has not been here long, she has heard of Deli's reputation to some extent. The other three roommates who live with her will occasionally mention this person's name when chatting.
Therefore, her attention was naturally drawn to it...
"Everyone must have a strange feeling, right?"
Deli stood in the corridor on the second floor and spoke.
Chen Xiaowei felt something in her heart.
What happened just now may not be that simple...
A guy like Deli who usually doesn't go out even half a step can come out and say a few words. Maybe in a certain way, the impact is no longer what he expected.
"It's like this. The people sent from the shelter have just been investigated. Now the town outside is undergoing irreversible changes. A ghost domain is spreading, and it won't be long before it reaches the location of the shelter."
Deli speaks very fluently.
There is no doubt that his words were just made up.
certainly.
There are also a few people who feel confused...
After clearly falling into sleep, the town should be a confrontation between replicators, predators, and refugees.
How could a ghost realm suddenly appear?
But this doubt remained for a moment. After all, everyone was in the shelter and did not know the current situation outside.
Deli said this.
Even if you have doubts, there is no reason to refute...
But after these words were spoken, most people couldn't help but start talking, lowering their heads and whispering.
Obviously, the ghost realm has touched the point of the refuge, which inevitably makes everyone a little panicked.
They spent a few safe days in the shelter.
Extremely sensitive to dangerous things...
"Don't worry, everyone. According to the current situation, it will take some time for the ghost domain to spread here. As long as we evacuate quickly enough, that thing will not be able to affect everyone."
Deli tried to say something comforting.
However, some people still didn't sit still and asked questions.
"Evacuate? Aren't ghost areas spreading all the time? This town is so big, where do we have to evacuate to where it will be considered safe?"
"Everyone can rest assured that this time the ghost domain is quite special, and the area of its spread will be limited...that is to say, it will not become larger and larger as time goes by.
It will stop after clicking it.”
Deli said calmly.
Perhaps it was because he acted very calmly, but some people chose to believe him because of his words.
After a pause, Deli added.
"You don't have to doubt it. The shelter is also considering its own safety, so this news will be told to everyone only after it is confirmed."
"For now, please just pack what you need to pack, just bring the necessities, try not to have too many... I will take everyone to another evacuation location in the shelter as soon as possible."
"Is there another shelter?" someone asked in confusion.
"Naturally, we will definitely have backup plans in case an accident like this happens."
Deli explained.
In fact, Deli's logic is quite normal.
Although it may sound like it doesn't stand up to scrutiny at first glance, in fact, it is normal to be able to quickly build a shelter like a shelter when a sleep event occurs, leaving a back-up or something.
On the contrary, when crisis comes.
The shelter was not prepared at all, which seemed a bit illogical and strange...
"Time is limited, so please hurry up and pack your things. For everyone's safety, we will set off in about ten minutes."
Having said this.
Deli waved his hand casually, and several big men with guns around him dispersed their positions one after another, and came to various positions to direct everyone to avoid crowding.
immediately.
I don’t know when the alarm was installed, but it rang at this time. It seemed like a disaster was coming, and residents were evacuated. It sounded like a clip from a movie and TV series...
Frankly speaking, after hearing that we were going to evacuate.
Chen Xiaowei felt very weird.
Although if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is not much problem with the whole incident. If there is really a ghost domain spreading, then evacuation is normal.
After all, it is not easy to gather so many people in the shelter.
Letting everyone leave together can also be said to prevent them from being harmed by other things during the evacuation process, such as replicators...
but,
Chen Xiaowei always felt vaguely uneasy in her heart.
I feel like things are not as simple as they sound...
only.
As Deli said, time is limited. After Deli finished his speech, the others began to pack up busyly.
Even if she has doubts, Chen Xiaowei can only go with the general trend at the moment and plans to adapt to changes when the time comes...
...
"Go to the kitchen and bring some food and drink. You can't live without these things."
"I know, where did you get that backpack? Do you still have it? It's not convenient for me to use both hands."
"There are rooms in the rooms. If you don't have a room, you can only go to the utility room to find a few bags and use them first."
"Do you know how far that other shelter is from our place? How long does it take to walk?"
"Who knows... I've never heard of it. Just follow along when the time comes. There will always be someone to lead the team."
"No, I was wondering if I would bring enough..."
"..."
The villa suddenly became busy.
In addition to this villa, there are several shelters in the surrounding area.
Chen Xiaowei and Qianye discovered this when they first arrived.
It's just that there may be some distance, so the villas do not disturb each other. If I didn't think of it deliberately, I wouldn't have realized that besides this villa, there were other refugees around...
But at this time.
Several other villas, where it was difficult to hear much noise on weekdays, also had noticeable movements at this time.
It seems that besides Deli, there are also people with the same status as him, telling everyone in the next few villas that they need to evacuate...
The place was a little messy.
Chen Xiaowei didn't have much to pack, so she took a backpack and brought some food and water, but nothing else.
She didn't want to waste too much time preparing, and planned to spare some time to observe the people around her, because she always had a strange foreboding feeling in her heart.
Although what Deli said is logically sound...
But she felt that the other party seemed to be hiding something.
Of course I can't say specifically.
This is just pure sixth sense intuition.
Stand in the crowd.
Chen Xiaowei carries her bag and observes carefully...
Almost everyone was packing up their own things, and it was difficult to tell anything different on their faces.
During this period, she caught a glimpse of Lin Yuan, who came to the shelter with her.
It's not like the other party just brought some simple things with her.
On the contrary.
Lin Yuan prepared two backpacks for himself.
I almost want to stuff everything I see into my backpack, until I can’t stuff it anymore, and then I zip up the bulging bag...
He looked like he was afraid he wouldn't be able to finish it all.
Chen Xiaowei couldn't help but remember that when she first met Lin Yuan, he showed up as someone who stole their food.
By the way...
Chen Xiaowei suddenly thought of it.
When he and Qianye left together, the other party did not take the food he had prepared with him, but placed it under the bed in the hut.
If something unexpected happens.
It seems that I can still go there to get some supplies...
"Hey, have you packed everything?"
Lin Yuan also saw Chen Xiaowei.
Since Qianye disappeared not long ago, he didn't have to maintain his timid attitude.
Facing Chen Xiaowei, he said hello naturally.
After all, in Lin Yuan's view, Chen Xiaowei was a victim kidnapped by that guy Qianye just like him...
"Well, I think this is enough."
Chen Xiaowei replied.
She didn't have much interest in Lin Yuan, so she simply replied with no intention of continuing the conversation.
Turn your head sideways.
She found that the girl named Kawakiko was still where she was.
Unlike the others, the other party did not make preparations for evacuation...
It was very unusual for me to stand there, not knowing what I was thinking.
"What a strange man..."
Chen Xiaowei muttered softly.
Think about it.
She still decided to remind the other party.
After squeezing through the slightly crowded crowd, Chen Xiaowei came to Kawakiko and patted the latter on the shoulder.
"Why don't you go pack your things?"
"It's useless... things are not what Deli said..." Kawakiko shook her head and said numbly.
"Hmm? What's that like?"
"I don't know, but it must not be what he said..." Kawakiko replied.
Hear the words.
Chen Xiaowei understood somewhat.
The other party was probably the same as her, feeling that there was always something strange that could not be explained, but if she wanted to explain it in detail, there was no way to find out where it was.
only......
Chen Xiaowei thinks that no matter what feels wrong, it never hurts to bring something.
Kawakiko seemed a little silly just standing like this.
Of course, Chen Xiaowei is not a warm-hearted person in nature.
Besides, she didn't have a good relationship with Kawakiko, they were just acquaintances.
Since the other party is unwilling, there is no need for her to pretend to remind...
And ten minutes.
It will pass soon.
Some people have packed up their things and are ready to go, lining up in an orderly manner under the guidance of the shelter management staff, such as people like Chen Xiaowei.
Some people were in a hurry and planned to bring more things. When the big man with the gun reminded them to leave quickly, they reluctantly approached the team, such as Lin Yuan...
all in all.
During the ten-minute evacuation, no major accidents occurred.
Regardless of whether they are willing or not, thoughtful or not, we all basically abide by the discipline and stand together.
Only a few guys with more unique ideas chose to sneak out alone when everyone was packing their things. They felt that it was better to leave their own safety to themselves...
for this situation.
The shelter did not sit idly by.
Although we cannot force others to have the same ideas as our own, the purpose of establishing the shelter is very obvious.
It is nothing more than relying on the logic that strength in numbers brings together all the refugees...
Someone comes in and wants to leave.
Of course they couldn't allow it.
To put it in more official terms, if their character is allowed to leave like this, then other people will also want to leave after seeing this. When the time comes, everyone will leave and it will become a mess. What is the meaning of the existence of the shelter?
But Chen Xiaowei just thinks it’s good to listen to this explanation...
After all, any high-sounding words can be said by any normal person, who knows if there is anyone else’s thoughts here.
Therefore, those who tried to leave were also taken to a special care position, that is, at the front of the team, under special supervision...
Follow the leader's instructions.
People in several villas quickly gathered together.
Among them, Chen Xiaowei saw many unfamiliar faces that she had never seen before. They should all be refugees in other villas...
The crowd was huge, and even in the dark, it was extremely eye-catching.
The posture is somewhat exaggerated, and it is roughly estimated that there are as many as five to six thousand refugees.
Chen Xiaowei never thought that these villas could accommodate so many people...
"The villa has a basement."
Kawakiko on the side seemed to know what Chen Xiaowei was thinking, and reminded her in her ear seemingly casually.
"basement......"
Chen Xiaowei thought about these three words for a moment.
She vaguely heard this word when she eavesdropped on the conversation between Chino and Kawakiko.
Just now, when I was sighing at the number of people, I subconsciously forgot about this thing I had only heard once.
"Qianye probably disappeared in the basement."
Kawakiko continued to whisper.
"Huh? How do you know?"
Chen Xiaowei was very confused about Qianye's sudden disappearance.
Although she usually labeled the other person as a pervert, Chen Xiaowei still paid attention to her sudden disappearance from sight...
That guy.
Chen Xiaowei has always felt that the other party is a weirdo who cannot be described clearly.
"Because I told him that there are secrets that have been hidden in the shelter in the basement, which may be related to the safety of all the refugees."
"And after that, he never showed up..."
Kawakiko explained to Chen Xiaowei.
After listening to Kawakiko's words.
Chen Xiaowei raised her eyebrows slightly and thought for a few seconds.
She was present in a shy posture when Qianye mentioned her, which is somewhat remembered in her mind.
"So you think he entered the basement and was killed?"
"Um."
Kawakiko nodded slightly.
"How is it possible? Even if there is something in the basement, Qianye is not the kind of guy who would give up himself for others..."
Chen Xiaowei retorted.
But before she could finish speaking, Kawakiko interrupted her.
"No, he will..."
"He won't."
"He will."
"He doesn't...well he will."
Chen Xiaowei was too lazy to argue with Kawakiko about this problem.
In her opinion, Kawakiko was completely led astray by Chino, perhaps because beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so Chino should be superior to Kawakiko in every aspect.
Chen Xiaowei has never experienced "mom's world".
Of course, she doesn’t know what kind of impression Kawakiko has on Chino, who was riding a bicycle crookedly and then broke into Amada High School...
She cares.
It was during the conversation with Kawakiko just now.
The sudden mention of "basement".
Originally, she just felt that there was a strange evacuation action. After thinking about this thing, Chen Xiaowei felt that there was something wrong...
