Zhao Zhengbin glanced at the bruises on Su Zhe's body and sighed helplessly.
It has only been two or three days since Su Zhe came here as a security manager, and the security in the shelter has been getting worse and worse... A large part of this is due to a series of conflicts caused by Su Zhe's mediation...
The auntie who was questioned about the unfairness of the food distribution got angry and pulled her hair, and was hit in the eye socket with a rubber gun by a five or six-year-old child running around on the ground. After scolding the child, the parents came to seek justice again, mocking the parents for their poor education quality, and were beaten up again...
"Or, you should go back to be a night watchman." Zhao Zhengbin couldn't help but persuade.
"No need!" Su Zhe glared, then stretched his neck and said stubbornly like a proud goose, "I just like to mediate conflicts between neighbors. There's nothing much to do every day. It's nothing more than getting beaten up twice... After beating me up, won't they be fine? To be honest, I feel that I have a talent for this, but I still lack some experience."
Zhao Zhengbin: …
Zhao Zhengbin didn't want to waste time on this topic anymore, so he said:
"By the way, you were getting beaten just now... um, when we were mediating a conflict, there was a girl who looked a lot like you sitting next to me... Do you have a sister or something?"
Su Zhe was stunned.
He turned his head suddenly and scanned the surroundings, as if trying to find something.
"Where is she? Where is she?"
“… Already gone.”
"Gone?"
"She received a call. It seemed to be her team leader... She said she was early and needed to rush over immediately." Zhao Zhengbin paused for a moment, but continued, "She also said that you have adapted well here and have found your own life. Don't worry."
Su Zhe stood there blankly, his mind going blank.
He looked in the direction of the shelter exit. He didn't know how long it was before he came to his senses and uttered "oh" in a daze.
"...Are you okay?" Zhao Zhengbin asked when he saw that Su Zhe looked a little strange.
"Me? I'm fine!" Su Zhe forced a smile, "I'm fine, right? She also thinks that life here is suitable for me... This is what she wants, this is what they want..."
For some reason, Zhao Zhengbin felt a little awkward when he saw the smile on Su Zhe's face...
"In fact, you are not an ordinary night watchman, right?" Zhao Zhengbin asked curiously, "What did she say was early? Did something happen outside?"
Su Zhe's face turned pale. He was about to say something when there was a sudden commotion among the crowd.
"Look online! There's a big earthquake in the north! Is it the enemy attacking us?"
These words fell into Su Zhe's ears, buzzing like thunder.
"North???" Su Zhe suddenly came back to his senses, "North?? How can it be the north... The time is wrong!"
Su Zhe's sudden words startled Zhao Zhengbin. He immediately opened his mobile phone and sure enough, several related messages on the Internet had been squeezed to the top.
Su Zhe grabbed the phone and clicked directly on the top video.
Unlike the professional equipment of the pioneer exploration team, this video was obviously recorded by someone with a mobile phone. From the picture, the person recording the video was also in a shelter, and several bright and clear characters were clearly visible on the wall in the distance.
"(TH) 128-002?" Zhao Zhengbin asked in confusion, "Where is this..."
"Tianhe City." Su Zhe stared at the screen intently. "One of the northernmost cities in Daxia, there are a total of five shelters. This No. 002 should be located at the northernmost part of the entire Tianhe City..."
In the picture, the shelter was shaking violently, as if something was constantly trampling on the ground. The lights on the ceiling flickered, and the people inside were shouting in fear. Even though military members were evacuating the people in the hall back to the dormitory, the whole scene was still in chaos.
"What's going on? Are the enemies really coming?" Zhao Zhengbin was worried, just like everyone else on the Internet. "Are they in danger?"
Su Zhe stared at the screen for a moment and replied calmly, "No hurry...just keep watching."
Amidst the waves of tremors, the ceiling above everyone's heads kept creaking and hissing, as if something was scratching, gnawing, and trampling on this shelter buried deep underground. The fear on everyone's faces in the picture became more and more intense.
Almost at the same time, a stream of light flashed from the ceiling of the shelter, and the top of the entire underground building was lit up. The dazzling light passed through the mysterious crisscrossing architectural structure, transforming into a huge pattern. Invisible ripples instantly enveloped the entire shelter!
The people in the picture seemed to be hit by something. They swayed slightly and staggered back a few steps. Even the mobile phone that was recording the video fell to the ground.
Boom!
A muffled sound came from under the shelter, and the building seemed to be planted back into the ground, and soon returned to calm.
Everyone scratched their heads in confusion and looked around. The lights that had been flickering had returned to normal. There was no earthquake, no trampling. Everything that had just happened seemed like a nightmare, and now, the dream was over... Everyone stood there unharmed, with only deep confusion in their eyes.
"Don't panic, everyone. The shelter was shaken by some geological structures just now, but it has now stabilized. If you feel dizzy during the shaking just now, it is normal and you will recover after resting for one to two minutes.
If you feel extremely dizzy, please raise your hand immediately and the staff will take you to the infirmary to rest..."
A deep voice broadcast rang out in every corner of the shelter. The calm tone eased everyone's mood a little. After they confirmed that the situation just now had not happened again, they patted their chests in fear and started to communicate with each other.
This is where the video ends.
"What... It's just an earthquake. How can there be any foreign invasion? Please stop spreading panic rumors!" Someone in the crowd spoke helplessly.
The same remarks also occupied most of the comment sections of these hot lists.
[You guys are so scared by an earthquake... This shelter is underground, so it's reasonable that the shaking would be stronger if there was an earthquake, right? ]
[Is this Tanagawa City? It seems to be where the continental plates meet, and there are many earthquakes during normal times.]
[Don't just stand here and talk! I was there! The noise coming from outside was so horrible! It was like something was gnawing at the shelter!]
[It should be caused by geological changes, but it just sounds like gnawing]
[That’s right, if there really were enemies attacking us, why did they stop now? Did they feel guilty?]
[Even if it was the Night's Watch, there should have been sounds of fighting, right? It just stopped abruptly, it really doesn't seem like an enemy attack... Maybe you're just too sensitive]
[But what was that light on the ceiling just now? Is it an emergency light? ]
[Relax, don't be nervous, do some yoga if you have time. It is indeed a bit uncomfortable to stay underground for a long time.]
[Our shelter is also in the north. We did feel an earthquake just now, but it wasn’t as strong as in the video. It should be just an aftershock.]
