"It seems that going to Vault 7207 first was a very wise choice."
Wang Qinshui couldn't help but sigh inwardly, then her expression turned serious, and she decisively gave the order:
"Pass down the order: speed up the process, everyone must reach the shelter before resting."
"yes."
Wang Qinshui's orders were quickly relayed, and the entire team's marching speed noticeably increased.
As the royal party continued to advance, the outline of the high walls of the refuge became increasingly clear.
The closer you get to the shelter, the more people there are, bustling and lively.
When the migrants on the road saw so many people from the safe zone, they all consciously and voluntarily made way for them.
People around the shelter were speculating that something big was about to happen.
Otherwise, people in the safe zone wouldn't easily move away from their original area.
What's more, it's a large-scale relocation involving everyone.
The Wang family's procession arrived smoothly at the foot of the high wall.
The shelter had naturally discovered their arrival early on, and the patrol team was already waiting at the gate.
The Wang family's group was stopped at the entrance of the shelter.
Wang Qinshui stepped forward neither humbly nor arrogantly. After all, this was territory under the control of the refuge, so he deliberately adopted a humble attitude and said:
"Please inform the head of the Wangjiaqiu Safe Zone, Wang Qinshui, that she requests entry."
"No need to announce your presence. Only you are allowed to enter." The patrol captain stepped forward with a serious expression.
“There are so many of us…” Wang Liqiang was about to stand up and speak when Wang Qinshui waved her hand and decisively stopped him.
“Then I’ll go in alone,” Wang Qinshui said, stepping forward. The patrol captain then stepped aside.
Before entering, Wang Qinshui turned back to look at Wang Li and solemnly instructed him:
"You stay here with your men and wait. If I don't come out soon, you can take command first."
"Yes." Seeing this, Wang Liqiang had no choice but to respectfully agree.
"Please come in." The patrol captain stretched out his hand, and the gate was slowly opened a little, allowing a few people to pass through.
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Qinshui strode through the gate.
"Boom!"
As Wang Qinshui entered, the heavy doors of the shelter slowly closed, leaving Wang Liqiang and the Wang family's team outside the high walls.
Although Wang Liqiang was somewhat anxious, he remained calm on the surface, knowing that any panic at this moment could cause unnecessary trouble.
"Don't panic, everyone. The patriarch is just going in to discuss some matters. We'll wait here," Wang Liqiang said loudly, his voice revealing determination and confidence.
Hearing Wang Liqiang's words, the people in the group felt their unease subside slightly.
They began looking for shelter from the rain under the high wall, intending to rest there temporarily.
The large number of people gathered under the high wall attracted curious onlookers from the surrounding locals.
Some shrewd businessmen hurriedly stepped forward and chatted warmly with the Wang family, trying to become acquainted with them.
Soon, the two sides opened the door to a transaction.
The trading market beneath the high walls became bustling with activity for a time.
Some refugees around the shelter saw the large amount of supplies carried by the Wang family's group and came forward to exchange them for the items they needed.
The Wang family was quite pleased with this.
Inside the high walls.
Wang Qinshui followed behind the patrol captain and was led to the outside of a magnificent and sturdy tower.
Wang Qinshui shielded her eyes from the continuous rain with her hand and looked up.
The towering tower was covered with complex antennas.
"We've arrived, let's go in." The patrol captain who was leading the way stood guard at the door.
Wang Qinshui shook off the rainwater from her clothes and wiped her feet before going inside.
Upon entering, the space inside the tower was surprisingly large.
The room looked like a huge conference room, but at the moment only one middle-aged man was sitting there calmly.
“Wang Qinshui, head of the Wang family of Wangjiaqiu. Welcome to Shelter 7207.” The middle-aged man slowly stood up and extended his hand to Wang Qinshui.
Although she didn't know the other person's identity, Wang Qinshui still quickly took two steps and shook hands with the middle-aged man.
"I am the head of the high walls of Shelter 7207. You can call me Zhao Gang." The middle-aged man's voice was calm and steady, giving people a sense of reliability.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao Gang, thank you for your hospitality."
Wang Qinshui's polite reply showed no disrespect whatsoever for the other party, who was merely the person in charge of the high walls.
"It seems you also know that the prophesied disaster is about to befall you, and you have already begun your migration."
The middle-aged man gestured slightly, indicating for Wang Qinshui to sit down and speak slowly.
Wang Qinshui sat down and turned to Zhao Gang earnestly, saying:
“Mr. Zhao Gang, everyone in our Wangjiaqiu safety zone is fully aware of the severity of this disaster.”
“We chose to come here because we believe that shelter 7207 can provide the safest refuge.”
Wang Qinshui paused for a moment, then continued sincerely:
"After all, we are also a safe zone under the control of the shelter, and we are willing to contribute all our strength to the defense and operation of the shelter. We only hope that the people in our safe zone can be protected by the shelter."
“Patriarch Wang, your idea is indeed very reasonable.” Zhao Gang nodded slightly in agreement.
"but..."
Zhao Gang suddenly changed his tone:
"Since you are one of the heads of the safe zones under the control of the shelter, I think you should know that the shelter will not take in so many people."
Wang Qinshui fell silent instantly, her expression turning serious.
He knew Zhao Gang was right.
Others have never been inside the high walls and don't know the specifics of the situation here.
But he had been here before, and even had the opportunity to enter the actual shelter.
Wang Qinshui also knew clearly that the refuge was right beneath his feet.
At that time, the young man was just about to inherit the position of head of the Wangjiaqiu family.
It wasn't until his father told him the truth that he realized their Wangjiaqiu was under the rule of Refuge 7207.
Wang Qinshui's father once personally brought him to the refuge.
Only after gaining the approval of the shelter's leadership at a young age was he able to successfully succeed as the new head of the Wangjiaqiu family.
Wang Qinshui was lost in deep memories.
It was an underground fortress filled with technology.
It can withstand various natural disasters from the outside world, and also has a strong ability to defend against radiation and potential attacks.
The shelter has its own complete life cycle system.
It includes planting areas, air pressure stabilization systems, water purification systems, and even advanced medical equipment.
Although he only stayed in the shelter for one night when he was young.
But the comfortable, soft beds and the delicate touch of cotton in the shelter.
All of these things fill Wang Qinshui, who is now over fifty, with longing and often reminisce in her mind.
