The Fallout Shelter was on the third and fourth floor of the Skyscraper's basement. The people who entered the Fallout Shelter could use the elevator, the parking lot, and the public passageway to enter the Fallout Shelter.
A few hundred meters was not a long distance, and Xia Pingan was very fast. In less than two minutes, he had rushed to the Iron Cloud Skyscraper on Qingyun Middle Road. He was holding a two-year-old boy in his arms, and a pale-faced middle-aged woman at his side. They followed the surging flow of people into the Fallout Shelter's express passageway.
The passageway flashed with red light.
"Everyone enter in an orderly manner, don't crowd …"
"Everyone enter in an orderly manner, don't crowd …"
A few uniformed Skyscraper security guards were shouting with loudspeakers in the passageway.
The surrounding people were panicking. Xia Pingan saw that a few white-collar women had lost their high heels when they ran over. They were barefoot when they entered the Fallout Shelter.
A few men with big bellies were sweating profusely from running. They unbuttoned their neckties and shirts.
When Xia Pingan ran over, he saw a middle-aged woman carrying a child get out of a private car. She couldn't run fast, so he picked up the child and ran in with the middle-aged woman. The child was not heavy. Carrying him was not much heavier than carrying a takeout.
After a bunch of technological enhancements, the anti-space intrusion security app could give a five-minute warning when the surveillance satellite sensed a gravitational anomaly. In the city, the distance of the Fallout Shelter allocated to everyone through computers and big data was within five minutes. As long as one entered the Fallout Shelter within five minutes, there was a high probability that they would be fine.
However, there were always accidents. It was impossible to be perfect. If there was no Fallout Shelter near your area, and the space intrusion happened to be near you, or in some extremely short period of time, a few space intruders could break through the Fallout Shelter's sturdy defensive layer, or if you did not enter the Fallout Shelter within five minutes, then you could only pray for your own good.
Once they entered the Fallout Shelter, Xia Pingan handed the child he was carrying to the pale-faced middle-aged woman.
"Thank you, thank you …" The middle-aged woman hugged her child tightly. She was grateful to Xia Pingan.
"You're welcome!"
The underground shelter was like a huge quarantine chamber. The underground shelter of Iron Cloud Tower was divided into four sections. The people who entered the underground shelter were separated at the entrance and separated into four separate shelters.
This design was to protect the safety of the people in the fallout shelter to the greatest extent in case of an accident.
For example, if there really was a monster that could break through the several meters thick concrete protective layer and the steel safety door of the shelter, then the monster that entered the shelter could only enter one isolation chamber at a time. The other isolation chambers were still safe. Such a design was similar to the watertight compartments on a ship. If one compartment was flooded, the entire ship would not sink.
Xia Pingan and the middle-aged woman entered Fallout Shelter No. 2. Fallout Shelter No. 2 was brightly lit and was the size of four basketball courts. The height of the shelter was not high, only less than three meters. People kept coming in, and in a short while, five to six hundred people had squeezed into Fallout Shelter No. 2.
"The passage to the shelter is about to close, the passage to the shelter is about to close …"
When the five minutes were up, the steel door of the shelter closed with a loud bang. The inside of the shelter was immediately isolated from the outside world. The people in the shelter also let out a sigh of relief.
In the shelter, to prevent rumors from causing panic, everyone's mobile phone signal was cut off and isolated. There was a screen in the shelter that was responsible for relaying news and notices from the National Committee of Order and the government. Everyone could only wait for the notice.
Only after the invasion of the space outside had been removed could everyone leave.
The shelter was in chaos, and it was difficult to calm down. Some people were sobbing softly, while others were looking for their lost wallets, phones, and shoes …
Xia Pingan found a remote corner, leaned against the wall, and sat down, waiting quietly.
When the Space Invasion monsters were eliminated, they would be able to leave. This time depended on the severity of the Space Invasion. It could be as short as a few hours, or as long as a few days. If it was longer, then it would be a complete disaster.
Generally, public shelters had a certain amount of food and water reserves, which could allow people to survive for half a month to a month.
Large public shelters were even connected to the supply warehouses of large supermarkets in the city and the underground war preparation tunnels.
In less than a few minutes, Xia Pingan heard the faint sound of an explosion coming from outside. As soon as the sound was heard, the noise in the shelter instantly stopped. The entire shelter was silent. Even the people who had been sobbing in a low voice stopped. The people who were looking for things also stopped …
"Drones, it should be our drones that came first. They are already cleaning up the space invasion creatures outside …" Next to Xia Pingan, a man in his forties who was sitting on the ground swallowed his saliva and whispered to himself. This man seemed to have rich experience in dealing with space invasions. "In the city, the Committee of Order's drones can immediately rush to the scene of space invasion and launch the first wave of attack …"
"The explosion just now was so loud that it could be heard in the shelter. It might have been a high-altitude thermobaric bomb. The sound came from the air …" An intellectual man wearing glasses pushed his glasses up and whispered, "The high-explosive bombs of the drones won't land in densely populated urban areas and forests that can easily cause fires. If it was in the city, no one would have the chance to use the more accurate blade missiles …"
"Everyone will be fine …"
As soon as the man next to him finished speaking, the lights in the shelter flickered, and the entire shelter suddenly fell into a state of darkness. Then, someone screamed.
Two seconds later, the dark red lights in the shelter were turned on, and a voice came from the loudspeaker.
"Everyone, don't be nervous. In order to avoid causing a fire, the public power in the city was actively cut off. The emergency engine in the shelter has been activated. The situation in the shelter is normal. Please wait patiently …"
Only then did the restlessness in the shelter calm down.
Xia Pingan, who was sitting in the corner, closed his eyes and began to focus his attention. In just a few seconds, a clear image appeared in Xia Pingan's mind …
It was the scene outside the building.
In just a few minutes, there was no one on the street outside the building. There were parked cars everywhere on the street, and it was still raining. In the clouds above, strange dark red clouds were tumbling in the air. The rotating clouds were like a tornado and the tentacles of an octopus. They split into several parts and extended from the sky to the ground …
Whoosh …
There was an ear-piercing sound in the air.
Two drones quickly whizzed past the top floor of the building, one on the left and one on the right. They rushed towards the swirling clouds in the sky.
After flying for a thousand meters, flames flashed under the wings of the two drones. Two missiles drew two lines of fire in the air as they flew towards the tumbling dark red clouds.
Two huge dazzling lights exploded in the gloomy sky, and then a huge explosion sounded in the sky above the city. It was like a thunderclap, and the glass on the window of a tall building in the distance was shattered.
The two cloud tornadoes that extended from the strange dark red clouds in the sky were blown apart by the explosion.
Red rain and minced meat fell from the sky.
After more than ten seconds, the sound of the explosion was heard again in the fallout shelter.
…
In the midst of the loud explosion, on a street more than a thousand meters away from the Iron Cloud Building, the dark red clouds tumbled. After the clouds dissipated, more than twenty demon rats suddenly appeared on the ground.
Those demon rats were even bigger than lions. Excluding their tails, they were nearly two meters long. Their eyes were blood-red, and they had sharp teeth …
After appearing on the ground, those demon rats stayed still for two seconds. After looking around, they began to scatter in all directions.
One demon rat was running like a rhinoceros. It rushed onto the road and fiercely knocked away a car parked on the roadside. It then ran onto the city road and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Another two demon rats smashed the door of a nearby hotel and immediately rushed into a nearby hotel …
One of the demon rats was a bit slow. After rushing a few steps, a strange sound came from the sky. A missile with blades fell from the sky and accurately hit that demon rat. The sharp blades sliced over at high speed, completely shredding that demon rat into a pile of flesh and blood, leaving only a pit on the ground.
Several helicopters flew over from afar. As soon as the helicopters hovered in the air, they dropped ropes. Teams of fully armed special forces in black combat uniforms grabbed the ropes and flew down from the helicopters.
One team entered the hotel, while the others were chasing after the other demon rats.
Helicopters continued to fly over and drop off teams of fully-armed combat squads in the areas where the Demon Rats had appeared.
Xia Pingan saw a man in a black leather windbreaker and sunglasses directly jump off the helicopter which was over 10 m above the hotel in the heavy wind and rain without holding ropes. He then steadily landed on the roof of the hotel. After that, he flashed and entered the hotel.
After a few seconds, fierce gunshots drifted from the hotel.
After a short while, a window of a room on the 3rd floor of the hotel was suddenly broken. A demon rat broke through the window and jumped off the windowsill on the 2nd floor before landing on the ground.
It was that man in a black windbreaker and sunglasses who closely chased after that demon rat from the balcony of the 3rd floor of the hotel. He was holding a black short-barreled large-caliber shotgun. When he was still in the air, he had already fired his shotgun.
Blood spurted out from the demon rat's body as it was severely wounded.
Seeing that man chasing after it, the demon rat turned around and intended to escape.
"Fire..." The man pointed at the demon rat with his hand which didn't hold a gun in the air as he roared. Closely after that, a scorching flame suddenly jumped up from the puddles on the ground and wrapped up the demon rat.
The demon rat shrieked as it turned into a flaming torch, evaporating the water vapor around it in a split second.
The man in a black leather windbreaker and sunglasses steadily landed on the puddles on the ground from the 3rd floor. In the blink of an eye, the burning demon rat became a pile of ashes in the flame.
Right then, the ground suddenly bulged up while the bricks and mud flew away...
A monster that was five to six meters long, as thick as a gasoline barrel, with a body like an earthworm but a head full of sharp teeth suddenly drilled out of the ground. It opened its mouth and bit at the man wearing a black leather trench coat and sunglasses.
The man opened fire. The large-caliber pistol bullets hit the monster's body, creating sparks. However, the monster that had drilled out of the ground was unharmed. The monster's skin was covered in a thick layer of quartz, like armor.
Watching the monster biting towards him, the man abruptly jumped back in an unimaginably agile way. He almost jumped onto the balcony of the 2nd floor of the hotel which was over 4 m high. After that, the man waved his hand as he uttered two words, "Slave soldier!"
With a light flashing on the ground, a strong far-ancient warrior with bare feet appeared in front of that earthworm-like monster at once. His body was covered with a layer of red light. He was wearing animal skin and holding a long spear.
The warrior waved his long spear and stabbed into the monster's body. Green blood spurted out of the monster's body and sprayed all over the ground. The moment the blood touched the ground, it corroded the ground with a sizzling sound. The roof of a car on one side was directly corroded into numerous holes.
The monster turned around and swallowed the summoned warrior in one gulp.
A few seconds later, the monster's body suddenly twisted in pain and rolled around on the ground, making a mess of the flower bed outside the hotel. However, before the monster could roll around a few times, a dagger pierced through the monster's abdomen. Then, with a slash of the dagger, the monster's body was directly cut from the middle, and the two halves fell to the ground.
The summoned warrior that had just been swallowed by the monster drilled out of the monster's stomach with green blood all over his body. After taking a few steps, he turned into specks of red light and dissipated in the air, leaving only the monster's corpse on the ground.
...
Only then did the team that had just rushed into the hotel retreat. Of the 10 people who had just entered, only 7 came out. 3 of them were injured and covered in blood. They had to be carried out on someone's back. One of the injured team members had his arm separated from his shoulder and was being carried by another team member.
The helicopter landed and quickly left with the injured team members.
The rain in the sky became heavier...
While leading the other team members to chase after another demon rat, the man in the black leather windbreaker and sunglasses suddenly stopped, turned around, and glanced at Xia Pingan.
This glance was like a face-to-face meeting with Xia Pingan. Xia Pingan felt that the man in the black leather windbreaker and sunglasses seemed to have seen him.
Xia Pingan was slightly surprised.
Xia Pingan, who was still in the fallout shelter, suddenly opened his eyes and softly muttered to himself, "Is this a summoner? So strong, he can actually see me... "
Xia Pingan closed his eyes again. A few seconds later, Xia Ning's face appeared in his mind. Seeing that Xia Ning was indeed in the school's fallout shelter, Xia Pingan was relieved.
Xia Pingan opened his eyes again and then closed them again. This time, Xia Pingan really began to lean against the wall and take a nap, resting his mind and waiting for everything outside to end.
