We Have Obtained a God's Protection

At Ian's behest.

Xiupa also made a name for himself, standing on the shoulders of the Red Giants Toy Soldiers and directing him to dig directly into the hidden underground shelters.

Certainly.

At first, Xiupa was quite puzzled by the orders Ian had given him.

But when the ground was dug up, revealing the steel reinforcement walls, Xiupa instantly realized that there was an underground shelter here.

Ian did not waste any more time searching for the main entrance to the underground shelter.

In fact, using [Underground Gas] can also provide direct access to those survivor shelters.

But after careful consideration, I still think that a more direct and violent approach would be better. A giant falling from the sky would likely leave a more shocking impression on these survivors.

It will also make subsequent management easier.

Besides, with their President Xiupa, around, the survivors should be able to accept the status quo quickly and follow orders.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Inside the enormous shelter, cold white light shone, and a motley crew of people, looking disheveled and in disarray, huddled there.

Some people were shivering under blankets, while others sat numbly on the cold ground.

They were all once ordinary people with flesh and blood, who cried and laughed.

At this moment, some of them have lost loved ones, some have lost limbs, and some have lost their lives, lying in the Passageway of the shelter.

Those who are alive appear numb.

But at least they were still alive. They cursed the monster that had ruined their peaceful lives a thousand times over in their hearts, hoping that all of this was just a nightmare.

But after a tiring sleep, when I woke up, everything felt so real.

They did not escape this hellish world.

At this time.

Terror strikes again!

The grief in their hearts had not yet dissipated, but now, with another loud commotion, they were afraid again!

It seems like that terrifying night from a few days ago is happening again.

Countless monsters swarmed into the city.

All the people inside the shelter huddled together, looking up in terror at the constantly shaking metal ceiling—humanity facing a terror it could not possibly overcome.

It's no different from a hamster that cowers in fear at the sight of a cat.

My mind was filled with terror; my brain was completely blank.

"Boom--"

With each shake, a large amount of dust fell from the ceiling.

God knows how there could be so much dust inside this semi-alloy-cast shelter. Everyone stared in horror, and some women had already started to cry.

They couldn't even continue grieving for their deceased loved ones; instead, they were terrified that they too would face death!

"Boom--"

Finally, with a loud bang, the massive metal ceiling seemed to be ripped open, and blinding, intense sunlight streamed into the shelter, replacing the cold light source.

Everyone screamed in terror!

This sight, beyond their comprehension, reawakened their fear of colossal creatures!

"Ahhh!!"

Sharp, noisy, and frantic screams echoed throughout the shelter. When everyone saw the giant hand tearing open the ceiling, their minds went blank, and only instinctive fear controlled their bodies to scream!

This moment.

They even wished they would never see the warm sunshine again, and instead remain "rats" hiding in this cold shelter.

Just imagining it is terrifying.

When they saw the giant figure casting a huge shadow in the sunlight, everyone stopped crying and collapsed in horror.

The expressions on everyone's faces were distorted with fear.

"Don't panic!"

"Don't panic, everyone!!"

But... strangely...

Just then...

A familiar voice came from the terrifying giant.

"I am President Xiupa, people of Pino City! Do not panic, do not be afraid! I have come to save you, guided by the Gods!"

That familiar voice, often heard on television, resounded in the ears of the survivors.

The screams gradually subsided, and everyone stared wide-eyed.

Even though the light was blinding, they tried their best to open their eyes wide, trying to see clearly why the president's voice was coming from the giant monster!

Then, a pair of large hands slowly descended, and there stood the blond man.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's the president!"

"It really is the president!"

"Thank goodness! We're not going to die! It's not a monster, it's the president who came to save us!"

At this moment, the joy of surviving the ordeal overwhelmed their reason; they couldn't even think about why Xiupa had come with the giant.

However, after experiencing a series of events beyond common sense, such as monster attacks and the appearance of giants, they...

Upon encountering the "authoritative" certification from old ideas again, the brain enters a brief state of numbness, only wanting to obtain a sufficient and intense sense of security.

President Xiupa was somewhat moved after witnessing this scene.

He was a politician, but also an ordinary person—a native of Congo who grew Congo and rose through the ranks of politics to become president with the support of voters.

Seeing the survivors of Pino City in this state, he felt a complex mix of emotions, and his tone and eyes were full of sincerity.

"Don't worry, everyone, there won't be any more monster attacks..."

"We no longer need to worry, because we have the protection of the Gods..."

At this point, he pointed to the several "giants" behind him and then tried to force a smile.

"Look, these are the helpers that the Gods sent me to save you! People of Pino City, don't be afraid, they won't harm us like those monsters!"

Upon hearing his words, the survivors gradually calmed down and, after their initial shock, began to sob and cry.

Soon, under Xiupa's command...

A group of survivors were carried out at once by the giant Toy Soldiers's large hand, and they were dragged outdoors.

When they reached the ground, most of the survivors' legs went weak.

Especially when they stood on the ground outdoors and saw the enormous, towering figure of the giant standing in the sunlight, and there was more than one of them, they were deeply moved.

At this moment, Xiupa, with his infectious enthusiasm, explained to the crowd.

"We must remember this day; it marks the end of our misfortune and the beginning of our new life."

"The God beings sent their messengers to save us, guide us, and help us rebuild our homes. The suffering is over; let's all look forward and to the future. That's the best way to say goodbye to our loved ones..."

The group of survivors heard what Xiupa said.

Although it was still unclear at this time what kind of being the God the president was referring to was.

But at this moment... having suffered a devastating blow to their spirits, lost their homes, and lost everything, they have placed all their hopes on that merciful God because of Xiupa's speech.

At the same time.

Ian then used [Underground Gas] to dive directly into an underground structure nearly four hundred meters deep.

Wearing a [Superpower Hat], he could clearly see everything in this Strategic Reserve Base, and couldn't help but be amazed by the amount of strategic resources a country had stored.

Ian knew very well that he was not omniscient or omnipotent.

Although, on many occasions, he can easily reach realms that ordinary people cannot attain and learn knowledge that ordinary people cannot master.

However... as I said before, he is not omniscient or omnipotent.

It's like a swordsman who has achieved physical immortality, no matter how powerful he is.

It's also impossible to understand how much research and calculation Nuclear Physics Physicists have actually done at the atomic level.

Same.

Even a Nuclear Physics Physicist cannot understand how a Biologist views the information encoded in Genes.

If you don't know, you just don't know; everyone has blind spots.

Ian, on the other hand, was an ordinary person in his previous life.

In this life, although I gained some understanding of a city's resource command and dispatch through Ejin City.

However, he had absolutely no idea about resource management at the national level. In this regard, let alone Xiupa, even those few incompetent high-ranking military officers might know more about it than he did.

The park is filled with various resources piled up like small mountains.

Ian was too lazy to use any other complicated methods.

Turn on the [Small Light] directly.

The moment the light shone into the room, the strategic resource reserve, which was originally as large as a mountain and filled to the brim, was soon transformed into a miniature landscape of about one cubic meter.

Ian immediately put it into his [Gadget Combination Belt], then activated Teleportation, instantly arriving at Xiupa's location.
