"Hmm?" I looked at him. "What's wrong?"

"Captain Fei asked me to come and call you over, saying he has something to discuss," Pu Weichao said.

"Oh, let's go then." I followed him out.

When we arrived at the open space outside the air-raid shelter, Fei Lichao stood on the roof of the car and beckoned to us to come up.

I climbed onto the roof of the car and asked, "What's wrong? Pu Weichao said he wants to discuss something with me?"

Fei Lichao wasn't in a hurry. He handed us two cigarettes, lit them, and then said, "Well, I have something to discuss with you two."

"What is it?" Pu Weichao asked.

"Regarding the air-raid shelters," Fei Lichao said, "Pu Weichao, do you remember what you said during the inspection?"

Pu Weichao nodded: "I remember, of course I remember."

Fei Lichao said, "I would like to hear your detailed analysis of the air-raid shelter situation. I hope you can point out all the potential hazards you have observed."

Pu Weichao was taken aback, then smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, then I'll tell you everything I saw."

I listened from the side.

Pu Weichao said, "The biggest problem facing the air-raid shelters now is that there are too many people and the space is too small. Moreover, many people in the air-raid shelters are starting to get restless. They all want to go into the warehouse. If you didn't have guns, I guess some people would have already gone in."

Fei Lichao frowned. "Get to the point."

Pu Weichao looked slightly embarrassed and continued, "Actually, the problem right now is that people are restless. Maybe no one has shown it in the last two days, but in another two days, people will definitely start asking what to do next. After all, no one wants to stay in this air-raid shelter for the rest of their life, don't you think?"

"And then there's the issue of food. Captain Fei, let me ask you, are you almost out of food?" Pu Weichao asked.

Fei Lichao didn't hide anything and said, "That's right. As for food, with so many people, the storage in the air-raid shelter is not much to begin with, so it can only last for about four or five more days at most."

I've noticed that too, because I've been in the warehouse the whole time, so I can tell how much stuff is left there.

"What should we do then?" I asked.

Pu Weichao looked at me and said, "What else can we do? We can't stay in the air-raid shelter forever; something bad will definitely happen. You found two problematic people during your inspection today, and there will definitely be more in the future. So, we can only find new accommodations and disperse these hundred-plus people. It's best to let them find their own way to survive. You can't protect them forever, can you?"

“I used to do event planning. Every event requires coordination from start to finish. How can one person possibly manage it all? So the best way is to disperse these people and let them fend for themselves.”

"This isn't a good idea." Hearing him say that, I always felt it was very dangerous, that many people would die.

"Otherwise, do you have a good idea?" Pu Weichao asked me.

I was speechless.

Fei Lichao frowned, his cigarette already burned out. He flicked the butt and said, "Damn it... since that's the case, we'll go out tomorrow to find a place and supplies."
