After the disaster, during the growing season, the outdoor temperature was 13°.
Pure Land Area 3 is surrounded by high walls. Looking down from the sky, you can see huge gates at the four corners of east, south, west and north. Outside the gates, there are queues of people.
At the east gate of Area 3, the team is divided into three columns: A, B, C.
Everyone had a look of anxiety on their face. They looked towards the gate from time to time and looked around nervously, like a frightened bird.
In front of the three rows of queues, under the gate, there were staff members handling registration and medical staff responsible for inspections. In addition, there were two people who attracted special attention.
They were two girls who looked underage, with neatly short hair and black combat uniforms. Although they had childishness on their faces, their eyes were like hawks, scrutinizing everyone who applied to enter Area Three.
In queue B, as soon as a bearded man entered the review channel, one of the girls frowned and pressed a button next to her.
Suddenly, a red light came on in the inspection channel where the bearded man was, and barriers appeared at the gates in front and behind, preventing him from entering.
"What do you mean? Why is the light red?" The bearded man looked panicked and tried to force his way in.
The next moment, several black gun muzzles were pointed at him. With a bang, the man fell to the ground with a bloody hole on his temple.
When the gunshots rang out, everyone else in the queue closed their eyes, their faces turned pale, and they didn't dare to look at the man's body.
But there was no riot, only some people quietly left at the back of the team.
As the man's body was dragged away, the queue, which had been somewhat noisy, gradually quieted down.
There were also those who had just arrived and were at the end of the line, not knowing the situation. They asked with pale faces, "Did someone just get killed? What did that person do? Why was he shot directly?"
"Did you rush from other districts?" The woman in the queue in front was an old lady in her early forties. She looked up and down at the three people who were asking questions, with a look of vigilance and caution in her eyes.
Bai Daoran nodded. It was his mother who had just asked the question. Bai Daoran subconsciously protected his parents and faced the old aunt's scrutiny: "Yes, my parents and I came from Yunjiang District. Auntie, didn't you say this is an official shelter? What's the situation now?"
The old lady was a little surprised: "From Yunjiang District? That place is not close to Line 6. It takes two districts to get here. You are just a family of three?"
Bai Daoran pursed his lips and didn't answer.
The old lady also knew that she was asking too many questions, and everyone was wary of strangers at this moment.
She didn't ask any more questions and explained, "The man who was just shot had a history of murder on his hands. He must have done a lot of evil. Did you see the gate at the front? If it lights up red, it means he has a criminal record or has killed someone. People like him are shot directly."
Bai Daoran's expression changed slightly: "As long as you kill someone, you will be shot?"
"It's not absolute. I heard that if the killing was done in self-defense, the red light wouldn't go off. I don't know exactly how that's determined." The old lady said she didn't know, but she obviously knew a lot. "Anyway, I heard people say that there are a lot of strange things happening in this shelter."
The old lady was very cautious at first, but later she couldn't stop talking.
"If you ask me, it's better to execute him. Who wants to be neighbors with those murderers? The world is in chaos now, and people's hearts are very evil."
"But guys, didn't you encounter any danger along the way?"
Bai Daoran nodded: "I did. Someone tried to rob me, but I got rid of him."
The old lady looked a little strange: "Did you drive here?"
Bai Daoran nodded: "My family is lucky, the car is not broken and can still be driven."
The old lady looked at the three of them with a more subtle expression: "So the biggest danger you've encountered in all this time is just people?"
The family of three looked at each other.
In today's world, the most dangerous people are of course strangers, what else could it be?
