Is this the room?
A migrant worker pointed to the heavy iron door at the end of the corridor and asked with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
“Yes.” Zhou Xu nodded slightly to the refugees.
"The people here are really strange; their houses are all made of iron."
Another vagrant muttered, finding everything in the laboratory fascinating.
After the refugees entered the room, the iron door behind them was ruthlessly slammed shut by the soldiers.
The room was cramped, containing only a few beds and some basic medical equipment, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant.
"What happened?"
One of the refugees was the first to sense something was wrong; he pounded on the iron gate.
The palm struck the iron gate with a "bang," trying to attract the attention of those outside.
"Open the door! Let us out!" another refugee shouted, his voice filled with panic.
No matter how hard they shouted, there was no response from outside.
The soldiers stood expressionless outside the door, unable to hear anything from inside.
......
[Armor-Piercing Arrow LV13: Penetration +130, Stability +130, Flight Speed +130, Sonic Speed.]
Inside the makeshift hospital, Li Yu was constantly converting energy.
The leveling speed is now much faster, and experience points are increasing at a visible rate.
Looking at the experience bar, Li Yu knew that at this rate, he would soon be able to level up the Armor-Piercing Arrow to level 15.
"roar!"
A tremendous roar resounded once again from the horizon, so loud that even those inside Qingcheng could hear it clearly, its deafening sound deafening.
Moreover, this roar was noticeably louder than before, suggesting that it was much closer to Qingcheng.
"You think that sound is coming at us?" Li Yu suddenly asked.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Li Yu's casual remark nearly gave Ma Yuanbai a fright.
As soon as the noise outside subsided, Li Yu said to Ma Yuanbai:
"A few refugees slipped out just now."
“I know.” Ma Yuanbai was naturally aware that there were fewer refugees.
“I guess they won’t be coming back,” Li Yu said thoughtfully.
Ma Yuanbai fell silent. He knew that the disappearance of these refugees was probably tacitly approved by Qingcheng.
Although he trusted Qingcheng, it was very likely that these people would not be able to return.
Li Yu seized the opportunity to ask in return:
Didn't you say this place is very civilized?
"No one can stop someone who wants to die," Ma Yuanbai tried his best to explain.
"If there really were a free upgrade to superpowers, would it be available to the homeless?"
"So it was that person who did it." Li Yu was somewhat surprised.
Unexpectedly, Ma Yuanbai had already guessed the reason why the refugees left.
Li Yu couldn't help but sigh. The upgrade of superpowers that person mentioned was indeed quite tempting. He didn't expect that some refugees would actually succumb to the temptation and secretly go.
"These idiots didn't even have a backup plan, it's no wonder they didn't make it back."
Ma Yuanbai was utterly speechless. These refugees hadn't even informed him, the vice leader, before they left. Now, he had no reason to go to Qingcheng to demand their return for a few idiots.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the makeshift hospital, and a large number of soldiers ran past quickly.
Li Yu and Ma Yuanbai arrived at the door.
Countless Qingcheng soldiers appeared on the street, their steps synchronized, and they quickly ran in one direction.
Some soldiers also set up roadblocks, blocking all intersections and completely sealing off the roads.
The local residents in the area seemed to be used to this practice, and they all quickly returned to their houses.
Then another well-organized special forces team came running up and quickly headed towards the gate.
Seeing this, everyone in the makeshift hospital couldn't help but panic.
"Are you sure this place is safe?" Li Yu couldn't help but turn her head again and ask with a doubtful look.
"Logically speaking, it should be perfectly safe..." Ma Yuanbai realized something was wrong at this point.
The noise outside grew louder and louder, as if something big was about to happen in Qingcheng.
"I feel like I've been tricked by you." Li Yu looked at Ma Yuanbai with a questioning expression.
"Perhaps we came at the wrong time." Ma Yuanbai also noticed the unusually tense atmosphere outside.
"Hurry! Hurry!" The soldiers outside kept shouting as they passed by.
The situation was gradually getting out of control.
The refugees inside the makeshift hospital began to stir and whisper among themselves.
"It seems like something big has happened."
"Could it be that there's a war going on?"
Some migrants who knew they could not integrate into Qingcheng, and now seeing the crisis that was happening in Qingcheng, instantly gave up the idea of living there.
They also knew that refugees would remain refugees no matter where they went, and that living in the city might just be a dream for them, something that was too difficult to achieve.
With the safety situation in Qingcheng changing, it is now extremely difficult for displaced people to leave Qingcheng.
"I should have known better than to come in. Now I can't leave even if I want to." Looking at the soldiers with guns outside, some of the refugees began to complain with regret.
“No, it looks like we have to leave Qingcheng.” The Awakened One beside him suddenly spoke.
"But can we get out of here by ourselves? Are we just going to wait here forever?" the refugee asked the awakened one, his voice tinged with unknown fear.
"Of course we can't stay here any longer, but now we need to find someone to back us up."
The awakened one among the refugees glanced around, then finally fixed his gaze on Li Yu.
“Join them.” The Awakened One pointed at Li Yu and Ma Yuanbai.
