What Xiaojie said was surprising. He actually came out of the shelter.

Qin Bai immediately realized something was wrong. Xiaojie came out of the shelter. Could it be that something really happened in the shelter?

"What happened to the shelter?"

Qin Bai asked.

There was a hint of fear on Xiaojie's face. He swallowed and said, "I was one of the first to enter the refuge. At that time, I was fishing nearby with my friends..."

That day, it snowed heavily. Xiaojie and a few friends went fishing in a river not far from the shelter. This was a place they often came to play.

"Hey Brother Jie, how many fish are you going to catch today?"

one friend laughed.

"Nonsense, that will definitely bring you back with a full load. A fisherman will never be in the air force!"

Xiaojie held his head high and said confidently.

"Really? How did I hear that Brother Jie didn't catch any fish last time and finally caught an eel and went back?"

another friend joked.

Brother Jie's face turned red and he said something incomprehensible. Even eels are fish, and fishing is just a hobby. The air was filled with a happy atmosphere.

But when they were halfway through fishing, it snowed heavily, and they had no choice but to return to their house in the village.

"It's strange, it's such a hot day, how can it snow? It's really a ghost."

"Who says it's not? It will still be so hot tomorrow."

At first they didn't take it seriously, but as the snow gradually increased, they quickly put on thick clothes and continued to wait.

But then, after they finished eating the remaining food at home, they became anxious.

If there is nothing to eat, they will starve to death here.

At first, they asked around to see if there was any food available, but there were only home-grown vegetables in the countryside. If they wanted to eat, they had to dig it themselves.

The snow was up to one meter thick, and they had a hard time digging around for a few vegetables.

They have been paying attention to the news on the Internet, hoping that the country can provide support, but they don't know whether it is because their village is relatively remote, and there has never been any support materials.

It wasn't until almost a month later that one day they heard news about the shelter through their home radio.

Several people immediately decided to go to the shelter.

Before leaving, they were still promoting the shelter in the village and preparing to take everyone there.

However, heavy snow blocked the road, making it very difficult to walk. Many elderly people had no way to cross. They had no choice but to take away some people who could still walk.

Since their village was the closest place to the shelter, it took them less than a day to find the entrance to the shelter.

Here, they saw soldiers wearing green military uniforms, and they were all very happy.

The soldiers quickly arranged for them to move in, with a place to stay and some food. This made Xiaojie feel relieved and felt relaxed.

This is a refuge provided by the state. If anything happens elsewhere, nothing will happen here.

But as more and more people come over, conflicts will always arise.

Two people fought on the spot because of a verbal dispute, and one of them beat the other to death.

This incident alerted the military's top brass, who directly ordered the man to be arrested.

Xiaojie didn't think much and just shook his head. Everyone came here to take refuge. Is this necessary?

But later, he always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

On this day, one of his friends suddenly said: "It's strange, why is there always an empty seat in our room? Doesn't it mean that the space here is very tight?"

Xiaojie looked up and saw that the upper floor of a bunk bed was indeed empty.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. As long as someone comes in, they must fit into an empty bed. The space here is indeed very tight.

At that time, Xiaojie didn't think much and went out for a walk.

But then, he noticed one thing. In many rooms, there were always beds available, ranging from two or three to one.

This puzzled him, so he simply asked a soldier.

"Why are there empty beds in every room? Isn't it because the beds are tight? It's okay to squeeze people together."

Xiaojie said.

But what he didn't expect was that after he said this, the soldier said strangely: "The bed is empty? Impossible, we only move to the next room after filling each room. ."

"Then come with me and I'll show you."

Xiaojie led the soldier to his room, pointed to the empty bed and said, "This is it. It has always been empty. No one lives in it."

When the soldier saw it, he immediately frowned: "Wait a moment, I'll go ask about the situation."

But after waiting and waiting, Xiaojie did not wait for the soldiers to come, but instead waited for an order to assemble.

Everyone must gather in the open space in the middle of the shelter. If someone doesn't gather, they will have nothing to eat.

Here, the military is the boss and everyone must obey orders.

After Xiaojie and his friends came here, they began to stand in line and wait for the military boss to come.

Not long after, the boss came. He looked at so many people in the field and startled everyone when he opened his mouth.

Because what he said is...

"Everyone, this shelter is no longer safe. If any of you want to leave, please leave now, otherwise you may not be able to leave."

Everyone in the scene looked at each other. The reason why they came to the shelter was not just because it was safe and they had food and shelter.

But why did this big boss say such a thing?

"Why are we allowed to leave? Did the shelter encounter any difficulties?"

Someone asked below.

The boss shook his head, with a hint of helplessness and sadness on his face: "Because the world has changed and is different from before. From now on, there will no longer be a so-called safe place in the world, and here is..."

But before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared.

The most bizarre thing was that no one at the scene realized that the military boss had disappeared, as if he had never appeared.

But Xiaojie was the only one who didn't know what was going on. He felt that his head hurt, and two different images were intertwined in his mind.

One picture shows the military boss talking just now, and the other picture shows them standing here all the time without anyone speaking.

It took a while for the pain to disappear, but both images were fixed.

He had two simultaneous memories appear at the same time!

This made Xiaojie feel extremely panicked, but being cautious by nature, he did not tell anyone and continued to wait.

But after a while, a soldier suddenly asked them to disperse. No one explained to them why they were gathered here.
