Chapter 1919 – Sanctuary
Hong Ying was about to leave when her afterglow caught a glimpse of Zhao Zhengbin in the crowd and her eyebrows rose slightly.
She waved her hand at the crowd and smiled, “Bye everyone~”
In the next moment, her figure also disappeared in place.
Zhao Zhengbin stared blankly at where she had originally stood, and for a moment, he was a bit bewildered.
In his mind, the scene where he entered that firm at that time came to mind……. That young girl who killed the monster with a single shot, and that young man who spoke, were all people from that firm?
So, the Peace Firm was actually one of the strongholds of the Night Watch?
Over the years, they have been hiding in such places, secretly guarding the safety of Cangnan City?
Thinking that he was once so close to the Night’s Watch without realizing it, Zhao Zhengbin instantly felt some remorse, if he had been more persistent at that time, perhaps he could have discovered their secret earlier? Maybe there would have been a chance to join them?
Just as he was rambling on, the military personnel on the side had rushed over and started evacuating the crowd.
The good news was that after that, the crowd didn’t encounter any accidents along the way, and with the arrows overhead, they soon arrived in front of a newly built subway entrance.
”Subway?” Someone in the crowd spoke in disbelief, “The shelter is in the subway?”
”No, this is just the entrance to the refuge pretending to be a subway entrance, not a real subway …… Specifically, you guys will know when you go down there.” A member of the military explained.
The crowd went all the way down along the steps, and found that the bottom was quite a bit deeper than an unusual subway station, and after walking for almost two minutes they still didn’t see the bottom, until the crowd turned back and couldn’t even see the entrance from which they had come, and the outline of a portal gradually emerged below.
”This place is so deep ah …… how long will this take to dig?”
”I passed by this road a while ago and thought it was just renovating the subway line, but I didn’t realize that what was actually being repaired was actually a shelter? It seems that the Night’s Watch has long been prepared.”
”I also came here once, it seems like only ten days have passed since the start of the repair here, right?”
”Ten days? Ten days can be repaired like this?”
”I don’t know …… maybe they have some special method.”
As they spoke, the crowd had already arrived at that doorway, and several figures in military uniforms gave them a security check in turn, and after confirming that there were no dangerous items, someone led them inside.
This underground space is even better than what the crowd imagined, not the kind of rough underground garage that was rushed out in a hurry, but a bright and neat underground city, with lights illuminating every corner, and all kinds of signs plastered on the ground, and although the space is not big, there is a dining hall, restrooms, dormitories, showers, and a supply station for everything.
”I go …… this shelter can ah? Who told me that this place was built in ten days?”
”Really don’t say, this is completely different from the shelter I imagined ah …… I thought it was that kind of war-damaged version of a dark basement with only a few bare walls and then a few mattresses on the floor.”
”Yeah, yeah, yeah, don’t they all act like that in the movies?”
”But then again, don’t you guys think the décor is a bit strange?” Someone walked up to a wall and rubbed their hand against a block of pixelated particles on it, each the size of a basketball, “How does it feel, kind of like My World?”
”I’ve been meaning to say this for a while, what are these? The latest type of building materials?”
Just as the crowd was curiously sizing up the pixelated particles, a staff member accompanying them spoke up.
”This is a special material that is stronger than the vast majority of materials currently known to mankind, this shelter stacked a hundred meters underground is said to be able to withstand the aftermath of a divine war below the Supreme God, it is also stocked with sufficient amounts of food and water and other supplies, as well as smooth communication and network signals, so please don’t worry about it.”
”Supreme God?” Zhao Zhengbin immediately grasped the point, “Gods, are they also divided into levels?”
”Specifically, I’m not sure, I’m only sent by the military to take charge of the order of the refuge, not an internal member of the Night’s Watch.” The staff spoke apologetically, “Everyone, the refuge quarters are on this side, please follow me.”
The crowd quickly followed the footsteps.
Zhao Zhengbin’s afterglow searched the surroundings, only to see that on the wall in the center of the refuge, a few large characters were clearly visible.
”cn(136)-007.”
”What does that mean? A number?”
”cn (136) is Cangnan City’s city number within the Vigilantes’ archives, a shelter like this can accommodate up to one million people to live in, Cangnan City’s range includes the urban area and remote areas, there are a total of thirteen shelters, and this is number 007.”
”Cangnan alone has thirteen shelters? Then how many must there be in the entire country?”
”Many …… very many. Only by boosting the number of shelters and dispersing them as widely as possible to different areas of the city can we maximize the efficiency of evacuating the people.”
”I see.” Zhao Zhengbin couldn’t help but speak, “In ten days’ time, so many shelters can be built, is this the power of the Night’s Watch ……”
In his eyes, a look of reverence surfaced.
”Ah yawn!!!”
At the Night’s Watch headquarters, Memorial, who was resting, sneezed violently!
”What’s wrong? Catching a cold?” Chloe, who was beside him, spoke in confusion.
”I don’t know …… Maybe it’s because the divine power has been overdrawn heavily during this period of time, and my body is a bit weak.” Remembrance rubbed her nose while opening her mouth grudgingly.
Memorial, who was still alive and kicking a few days ago, was currently like an emaciated panda, with two dark circles under his eyes on top of his face, and his entire person was wilted.
”Grandma, my old lady’s five cannons are still bombarded lightly …… If I had known that guy Lin Qiye was so dark, I wouldn’t go back to Daxia with him even if I killed him!” Memorial grinned viciously, “Wait for him to finish this period of time busy …… If I don’t beat him all over the place, it’s hard to solve my heart’s hate!”
”…… You can’t beat him.”
Remembrance: convex (f*cking petri dish f*cking)?
”But then again, in ten days’ time, building thousands of shelters all over Da Xia …… you actually did it.” Chloe couldn’t help but speak, “Lin Qiye is right, in this world, no one but you Memorial could do this in such a short period of time, your merit is too great.”
”Huh? He really said that?” Memorial scratched his head and laughed.
”Actually, it’s not so bad …… They dug up enough space in advance, those things to be built are not complicated, and the drawings have also been prepared in advance, only pursuing sturdiness, no need for aesthetics, this kind of thing I can put together a building in a few seconds… …It’s just that there are so many of them that it’s a bit of a labor of love.”
As soon as Memorial’s words left his mouth, the intercom on the table suddenly rang, ??????
”This is sz (018)-011, too many people have come in, exceeding the loaded number of people in this shelter …… requesting expansion. Repeat, this is ……”
Memorial’s smile froze on his face.????
Chloe stood up from the table and picked up her intercom and replied with a received, turning her head to look at Memorial with a slight smile.
”Time to get to work …… President Memorial.”
