In the dim indoor light, the conversation among the four roommates gradually deepened, discussing the increasing tension and dissatisfaction within the shelter.
Owen's voice carried doubt, and his words revealed questioning of Adam's management style: "I sometimes really don't understand Adam. From the initial psychological issues to the current factional conflicts, it seems like many things could have been avoided."
Dali retorted somewhat impatiently, "You have to understand how much pressure Adam is under. He has to manage so many people and deal with so many things. He's only human after all."
Bruce, on the other hand, was more composed, with a subtle touch of affectation in his words, "It's true that Adam is working hard, and we all see that. However, there is room for improvement in his management skills, especially when it comes to handling complex issues and interpersonal relationships. At times, he seems a bit overwhelmed."
Jack Listening to these discussions, he felt heavy-hearted. He could sense that everyone was trying to adapt to this oppressive life, but the issues at the shelter seemed to be getting more and more complicated.
Dali sighed, "We need more understanding and communication. After all, we are all living under the same roof."
Owen nodded in agreement, "Yes, communication is really important. We need to find a way to solve these problems together."
Bruce shook his head gently on the side, with a hint of calculation, "Each of us should make some concessions. For Adam's management, we can offer constructive feedback. After all, we are all responsible for the future of this shelter."
Jack listened to Bruce's words, and although he nodded in agreement on the surface, he couldn't help but feel that there might be hidden intentions in Bruce's words. He began to suspect whether Bruce was using the chaos to seek more benefits for himself, and this thought made him uneasy. In this controversial and uncertain refuge, Jack began to feel the need to observe the people and things around him more carefully.
In the dormitory at night, Jack had a lot on his mind and found it difficult to fall asleep. The increasing heat and muscle pain made his night uncomfortable and restless. He tossed and turned, trying to find some comfort, but it seemed to be in vain.
However, just as the agonizing night was about to pass, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the morning shelter. The abrupt noise shattered the tranquility indoors, jolting everyone in Room 103 from their sleep. The alarm was the signal that the shelter's main door had been opened, indicating the return of the ground exploration team.
Jack and his roommates quickly put on their clothes, opened the door, and joined the crowd rushing towards the shelter entrance. The corridor was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere. Everyone was filled with questions: What news did the exploration team bring back? What was the situation on the ground?
When they arrived at the entrance to the shelter, they found a large crowd already gathered there. Helen and her followers stood at the front, their faces filled with anxiety and curiosity, seemingly eager to witness the outside world as soon as possible.
However, the management personnel in blue uniforms and the security soldiers quickly surrounded the entrance, preventing people from getting close. They loudly scolded the crowd, demanding that they step back to ensure that the situation remained under control. The stern attitude of the management personnel and the tense atmosphere made the whole scene even more chaotic.
Jack and the other residents could only watch from a distance, filled with various speculations and questions. They were waiting for any news about the exploration team, hoping to understand the true situation of the outside world. At this moment, it was of great significance to everyone in the shelter.
Dali loudly exclaimed in the crowd, "Look, the exploration team is back! But why is there only one person?" His voice was filled with doubt and worry.
Owen pushed the person in front of him, trying to see the situation ahead clearly. He frowned and said, "Look at that guy's expression, something big must have happened on the ground."
In the crowd, Bruce looked serious and whispered to Jack, "This is not a good sign. One person comes back, and in such a miserable state."
Jack tried to make his way through the crowd, but he was squeezed in and couldn't move. He listened to the people around him discussing fervently, some saying that the exploration team member had strange bloodstains on him, while others said he was covered in various kinds of fluids. The entire shelter seemed like a huge rumor mill, with everyone speculating and spreading various news.
Just then, soldiers began forcibly dispersing the crowd, while the personnel in blue uniforms loudly ordered, "Back off! Make way! We need to deal with this exploration team member immediately." They urgently took the unidentified exploration team member to the medical room, their expressions grave and urgent.
As the alarm sounded again, the shelter's gate was about to be sealed once more, causing panic and chaos among the crowd. People searched for answers while feeling uncertain and worried. Jack stood in the crowd, his eyes filled with deep confusion and concern.
At that moment, a supporter of Helen, ignoring the soldiers' attempts to stop him, suddenly broke through the crowd and rushed towards the stairs leading to the ground, heading for the gate. His movements were quick and decisive, disregarding all obstacles. The soldiers panicked and tried to intercept him, but it was already too late.
The man rushed out of the gate and onto the ground. He stood on the desolate land, staring blankly at the barren scene in front of him, filled with despair and shock. He fell to his knees, unable to accept the reality before him.
Suddenly, a huge scorpion, an astonishing 3 meters long, with a thick, shining green exoskeleton, emerged from the nearby ruins. Its massive tail pierced the man's body, leaving only a sharp scream.
This scene was witnessed by some people standing at the entrance of the shelter, causing a panic and screams. Upon seeing this, the soldiers immediately pushed the door forcefully, sealing off the only exit to the outside world.
This scene shocked everyone who witnessed it. It was not only a tragedy for the man, but also the shattering of the last glimmer of hope in the hearts of the shelter residents. Everyone realized that the situation on the surface far exceeded their imagination, filled with unknown and deadly dangers.
Jack looked at all this and felt a chill in his heart. He had once held a glimmer of curiosity and hope for the outside world, but now, all of that had been replaced by fear and despair. He realized that their life in the shelter, though difficult, was at least safe. The outside world was no longer their familiar home, but a desolate land filled with unknowns and death.
