Let Everyone in Donghai City See

The first and second points were easy enough to understand.

After all, the Android Warriors were stronger and well suited to serve as the main force.

And sealing the gates was also meant to protect the shelter's residents as much as possible.

But what the hell was the third point?

Xu Ruoxi could not help looking over, concern on her face.

If they issued a Zombie Tide warning now, it was highly likely to cause panic.

Li Chen did not explain further.

The Star-Level Shelter would be the first to face the Zombie Tide.

But that did not mean the Zombie Tide would not spill over!

By then, scattered zombies might end up in every corner of Donghai City.

Without preparation, it would probably become another living hell!

"Alright, meeting adjourned."

"There are only a little over five hours until the Zombie Tide arrives. Move faster."

Li Chen spoke hurriedly.

Xu Ruoxi immediately accepted the order.

She arranged every squad in the Resident Combat Team into their training formations.

At the same time.

A message appeared on the Smart Bracelets of every resident in the Star-Level Shelter.

Notice: The Star-Level Shelter has entered Tier 2 Alert. The gates will soon close. All residents, please return immediately!

The residents who were still shopping at the market outside.

Were utterly confused when they saw the message.

Tier 2 Alert?

What happened?

Just then, someone spotted a post on the forum.

"Look! It seems the Zombie Tide is about to arrive!"

"Let's hurry back. It isn't safe outside anymore."

"Honey, move it! Stop packing up. How many Energy Cores are this stuff worth? Our lives matter more!"

"Hurry, hurry! If we're any later, the shelter gates will close!"

The Star-Level Shelter's residents all hurried back.

Leaving the independent survivors completely baffled.

So they opened the forum as well.

Yellow Alert—In six hours, a Tier 2 Zombie Tide will arrive from the south of the Star-Level Shelter.

By then, the zombies will no longer be affected by daylight and will become even more frenzied and bloodthirsty. All non-combat personnel, evacuate immediately!

The Star-Level Shelter has entered Tier 2 Alert. The gates will be closed, and material exchange services will be suspended. Please prepare accordingly.

This post, pinned by the Star-Level Shelter's official account and marked in bold red text.

Instantly threw the independent survivors into an uproar.

Everyone hurriedly packed up their goods.

And fled to wherever they thought was safe.

Meanwhile.

The other shelters in Donghai City also entered a state of alert.

The Star-Level Shelter had now become the leading force in Donghai City.

If it merely stamped its foot, Donghai City would tremble three times!

No one questioned the information released by the Star-Level Shelter.

Most shelters intended to hole up.

And quietly wait for the Zombie Tide to pass.

But some bold people actually began mobilizing, hoping to make a big score from this Zombie Tide!

The Star-Level Shelter had recently put out quite a few good things.

The foremost among them was the Tier 1 Armored Car.

Its imposing, domineering appearance made it practically the ultimate tool for surviving the apocalypse!

Every shelter wanted to get a few and improve its combat strength.

Even independent survivors were extremely tempted by the Armored Cars.

After all, their defensive capabilities were astonishing.

They worked even better than guns and cannons!

Unfortunately, they were simply too expensive.

A single Tier 1 Armored Car actually required 3,000 Energy Cores.

Many independent survivors had dulled their blades from hacking zombies and still could not scrape together enough!

For shelters.

3,000 Energy Cores were not difficult to obtain.

The difficult part was that one or two Armored Cars would not be enough for them.

At least ten to start with, right?

If, during this Zombie Tide.

They could follow behind the Star-Level Shelter and pick up the leftovers, obtaining the Energy Cores of Tier 2 Zombies.

Perhaps they could finally fulfill their wish!

While everyone was making preparations.

A group of people.

Gathered at the entrance of the Star-Level Shelter.

"Why won't you let us in? The Zombie Tide is coming!"

"We all live nearby! Aren't we being dragged into this because of your Star-Level Shelter? You can't treat us like this!"

"That's right! Open the gates and let us in to take shelter!"

This group shouted loudly from outside the electric grid.

The Resident Combat Team members who were deploying outside.

All looked over.

Xu Ruoxi immediately walked out. Looking at the group, she frowned and asked, "Who are you people?"

"I know her. She's one of the Resident Combat Team's managers!"

"We all live near the Star-Level Shelter! This Zombie Tide is coming for the Star-Level Shelter, and we innocent people are getting dragged into it!"

"That's right, miss, let us in already. The Star-Level Shelter is such a huge place. Surely it doesn't lack a little food and water for an old woman like me?"

The independent survivors all became excited when they saw Xu Ruoxi.

But no one dared to rush in on their own.

After all, the High-Voltage Grid was right there.

And every member of the Resident Combat Team was well equipped.

Their fierce expressions alone sent chills through people's hearts!

"No!"

Xu Ruoxi rejected them cleanly.

"The gates of the Star-Level Shelter will open only for residents!"

"And the Zombie Tide did not appear because of the Star-Level Shelter. How are we responsible for dragging you into this?"

These independent survivors had not originally lived here.

They had merely felt that the area around the Star-Level Shelter was safer.

So they got some ideas and settled nearby.

Normally, they relied on the Star-Level Shelter's armed personnel to ensure their safety.

Now that the Zombie Tide had arrived.

They were instead blaming the Star-Level Shelter for dragging them into it.

How ridiculous!

"I don't care! If you won't let me in, I'll die right outside the Star-Level Shelter's gates!"

"That's right! Let everyone in Donghai City see what kind of people you at the Star-Level Shelter are, leaving people to die!"

"Why is it that no one else knew about the Zombie Tide, but you people at the Star-Level Shelter did? You must have caused it! And now you don't want to take responsibility!"

Upon hearing Xu Ruoxi's answer.

This group of independent survivors erupted.

They all chose to make a scene.

Xu Ruoxi's chest heaved with anger.

Yet she did not dare shoot them lightly.

Because Li Chen had not given the order!

Xu Ruoxi feared that killing these people would bring negative repercussions.

During these days, Xu Ruoxi had been training.

While also observing the forum.

She had discovered that many people resented the wealthy.

The supplies possessed by the Star-Level Shelter had long made everyone envious.

If the Star-Level Shelter's armed force had been even slightly weaker.

These people would surely have swarmed it long ago!

So Xu Ruoxi was full of concerns at that moment.

Seeing that Xu Ruoxi did not dare use force against them.

The independent survivors became even more emboldened.

Insult after insult was hurled at Xu Ruoxi.

That was right.

They wanted to cause trouble.

Ideally, they would force the Star-Level Shelter to compromise and let them move in.

After the Zombie Tide passed.

They wanted them to leave?

Heh, heh, that would be impossible.

This was a perfect opportunity!

After all, none of these people met the Star-Level Shelter's application requirements.

In the past, they had no way to join the Star-Level Shelter.

Now that the opportunity was right before them, they had to seize it!

Just as Xu Ruoxi was about to be overwhelmed.

Li Chen was busy in the Command Room and took a moment to glance at the surveillance feed.
