The environment in the wilderness was extremely dangerous, and some of the refugees were cowering in their own residences. They would rather suffer the outbreak of the mutation virus than leave the safe house. However, there were also some refugees who did not want to sit around and wait for death. They took the risk of crossing the wilderness to reach the only Sanctuary.
With Bennett's personality, it was naturally impossible for him to abandon them. Even if the Sanctuary was heavily burdened, he would still save as many as he could. Until now, the Sanctuary had taken in more than ten million refugees, and the main city was packed to the brim. Many new satellite cities had been opened outside the city walls to divert the refugees who had come from afar.
Because there was an endless stream of refugees, although the production of the suppressant had increased, the supply still could not meet the demand. Thankfully, there were players who maintained the law and order and were willing to work hard.
Because of the large number of refugees, Aurora was extremely busy. She played the role of a human radar, constantly identifying the infected among the refugees and did not have any time to rest.
At a certain Sanctuary checkpoint …
More than a thousand unkempt refugees were being checked here, and fully armed soldiers were maintaining order. The refugees had unease and nervousness in their eyes. The disaster had caused their nerves to be in a tense state at all times.
"When can we go in?"
"Do you know how many dangers we encountered on the way to the Sanctuary? Forget about the body search earlier, why are we being kept here?"
Many of the refugees were extremely agitated.
"Everyone, before entering the Sanctuary, we need to conduct a virus check. Please cooperate with us," a guard said loudly.
A guard captain said loudly. Although the refugees were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to suppress their impatience.
At this time, Aurora walked to the front of the crowd and closed her eyes. She used her ability to sense the life aura of these refugees.
After a while, she opened her eyes and said with an apologetic expression, "There are infected people among you. Please follow the guards to the quarantine area."
The guards walked into the crowd and pulled out the infected people one by one. This action instantly caused the refugees to explode.
"What are you doing? Let go! I am not infected! "
"Let go of my child!"
"Scram!"
The emotions of the refugees were like a barrel of gunpowder, and the slightest spark would cause it to explode. Even if the majority of them had intended to listen obediently, a small portion of them took the lead and became agitated. They resisted and charged at the guards.
The sounds of cursing, begging, roaring, and falling to the ground were extremely noisy, and the scene was chaotic.
During this time of emergency, the guards were very tough in maintaining order. They used punches and kicks to drag the infected out, handcuffed them, and threw them to the side. There were also infected children who were taken away from their parents by the guards, crying non-stop.
Bang!
Gunshots rang out.
The scene fell silent for a moment. A male refugee had an excited expression on his face as he raised a pistol. Smoke was rising from the muzzle as he fired a shot into the sky. The other refugees hurriedly retreated, and there was no one around the gun-wielding man.
The guards' expressions changed, and dozens of guns pointed at the man at the same time.
"Damn it, what's the matter with the people searching in front? Why did they miss his gun?"
"Put down your weapons! Otherwise, we'll shoot! "The captain of the guards shouted.
The man with the gun trembled and shouted, "Don't, don't be fooled by them. I heard that the infected who were quarantined were actually executed. Don't believe them!"
"You've misunderstood. We do have a way to save her. Don't get too worked up." The captain of the guards comforted the man, but he secretly signaled to the gunner beside him with his eyes.
As long as the man's attention was distracted by him, he would immediately shoot and kill him.
At this moment, among the infected who were caught, there was a sudden cry of a young child.
"Dad!"
A seven or eight year old boy broke free from the big hands of the guards and stumbled in front of the gun-wielding man. He grabbed the man's trousers tightly and looked around with his big frightened eyes. His small body was trembling.
The captain of the guards cursed and hurriedly pressed down on the muzzle of his companion's gun. Shooting the father in front of a child, not many people were willing to do this. If this child was not there, it would be easier.
"Think about your child. Please put down your weapons immediately. We do have a way to save her!"
"How, how do we save her?" The gun-wielding man shouted.
The captain of the guards explained patiently, "We have a drug to suppress the virus. Quarantining the infected is to make it easier to screen the patients and then give them the drug."
"Then give the drug to my child right now. I want to watch the whole process!"
"This …" The captain of the guards hesitated, "The production of the suppressant is limited. The infected in the quarantine area are all waiting in line. It should be your turn in three days. I don't have the authority …"
The gun-wielding man roared and interrupted the captain of the guards, "I don't care! Give me the drug immediately, or else, or I will shoot! "
With that, the gun-wielding man pointed at Aurora who was looking at them from a distance. He just noticed that Aurora was the person who could distinguish the infected. She seemed to be an important person. He felt that this threat was useful.
All the guards were shocked and their fingers were about to pull the trigger.
"Don't shoot! She is the only one who can distinguish the infected. Everyone needs her! "
"I don't care! I want the drug! "The gun-wielding man's eyes were bloodshot and his emotions were extremely unstable.
At this time, a dark red energy protected Aurora. Hella walked out from the side with a cold expression.
The gun-wielding man immediately fired, but all the bullets were bounced off by the dark red energy shield. Hella waved her hand and the dark red energy shot straight to the gun-wielding man's forehead.
When Aurora was working, Hella had always been by her side as a guard to prevent any accidental factors from hurting her sister. This shot was fatal. She would not show mercy to anything that threatened her sister's safety.
"Sister, don't!"
Hella frowned. The energy that was supposed to explode the gun-wielding man's head changed its course and only broke the gun in his hand. The guards immediately swarmed up and subdued the struggling man. At the same time, they pulled the little boy who was holding his father's trousers and crying to the side.
"You should let me kill him. Kindness is the natural enemy of survival. You should change. Don't be so childish." Hella was impatient.
Aurora smiled and said, "No, I know that sister is here. He can't hurt me. He was just impulsive. We shouldn't take his life because of that. We are the ones who save the refugees."
"My stupid sister …" Hella narrowed her eyes. Those bloody memories flashed through her mind. She shook her head and said, "Don't be stingy and use the greatest evil to figure out others."
Hella walked up to the gun-wielding man and looked down at him. She said coldly, "If you don't believe us and don't want to be quarantined, then please leave. We lack everything but refugees. No one will stop you from leaving. Guards, let him and the child go."
The guards did as they were told and let go of the man. The man hurriedly picked up his child and glared at Hella. However, he was glared back. Under Hella's murderous gaze, the man's anger slowly subsided.
He glanced at everyone, held the child tightly, and walked out with heavy steps. He didn't want the child to be quarantined, so he didn't want to stay.
At this moment, Aurora spoke.
"Please don't leave."
The man paused and looked back at the petite Aurora with a surprised expression.
Aurora said sincerely, "Although we won't stop you from leaving, I strongly suggest that you stay. The wilderness is really too dangerous. You can only be safe in the shelter. Please believe in my sincerity."
"Then bring the medicine immediately to save my child," the man hurriedly said.
However, Aurora shook her head. "In order to protect your family, you did not hesitate to take the risk and resist. Believe me, I understand this impulse very well. However, I'm very sorry. We will definitely not give you the inhibitor in advance. This is unfair to others. Causing trouble cannot be exchanged for special treatment. However, I implore you to believe us. As long as you are patient, your child will be saved sooner or later."
Kindness was kindness, but she wouldn't allow her emotions to overflow. After experiencing the long darkness, the naivety in her personality had already disappeared.
Her words had a reassuring power. The man hesitated. At this time, his son wiped his tears and said, "Dad, I believe in her. Let me go to the quarantine area. I will protect myself."
The man gritted his teeth and put down the boy. The guard captain stepped forward and held the boy's hand. The man wanted to stop him several times, but in the end, he didn't do it.
After this episode, the emotions of this group of refugees also calmed down. They obediently accepted the quarantine and restored order.
The two sisters left the station. Because of its large size, the giant bear that waited at the door followed behind Aurora obediently.
Hella touched Aurora's head and frowned: "Did you forget what I said? It is meaningless to help other people's spiritual comfort. It is selfish of them to ask you to be selfless. Don't show kindness to strangers. They are not qualified to receive your help."
Aurora shook off Hella's hand and whispered: "Since I have the ability to help others, isn't it selfish to hide it and not use it?"
Hella coldly said: "For others, it is noble. For yourself, it is ugly. Hypocrisy is disgusting. Most of the moral principles are just scams to make people stupid."
"Uncle Black Star took the initiative to save me in the past. We are people who received help. Don't say that you are unhappy." Aurora giggled.
"…" Every time this topic was brought up, Hella was speechless. She solemnly said: "In short, this favor, I will definitely return it to him. I don't like to owe others."
That being said, Han Xiao had already entered a new level, and his status had changed greatly. Thinking of the first time they met, Han Xiao was just a weak test subject with a pale face and a thin body. He was trained by her, but now he had such achievements. She sometimes wondered if all this was real. Life was too unpredictable.
Hella was very conflicted about how to face the current Han Xiao. Han Xiao did not seem to need her power anymore. She did not know how to return this favor.
"Sometimes, I really can't talk to you." Aurora pretended to be mature and sighed. "If sister was not so eccentric, there would be thousands of times more people who would acknowledge you."
"Humph, so much for people who need others' acknowledgment." Hella frowned.
Aurora helplessly shook her head.
Although she had always been protected by her sister, she felt that sometimes, her sister was the child who had not grown up.
…
At a corner not far away, Han Xiao and Herlous had just arrived. They heard the two sisters' conversation and looked at each other.
"Go back. I don't think you have a chance." Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
Herlous was shocked.
"F * ck, you haven't asked yet! Can't you be more useful?! "
