In her previous life, Tang Li had heard about the collapse of other city shelters while seeking refuge in shelter A, but she never knew the process or the reasons behind it.
To her, shelter collapses were simply due to extremely severe natural disasters.
Even a less severe natural disaster, or a shortage of supplies, would not cause a shelter to collapse.
Because if it really came to that, the authorities would organize the shelter's residents to migrate to other shelters.
Just like shelter A in her previous life, which had to be evacuated as a whole due to the arrival of the great tsunami.
However, the great tsunami came too quickly, and the evacuation was too rushed, resulting in the group scattering on the road, which then led to the collapse.
But shelter D had not migrated and had not been directly attacked by natural disasters, so its situation was still fine.
Moreover, the refugees numbered only a few million, while the population of shelter D reached tens of millions.
In addition, the armed forces were well-preserved, and with the help of local residents, they should have been able to cope with the impact of the refugees alone.
Although the losses would be considerable, it would still be better than a direct collapse, leaving tens of millions of people displaced.
Tang Li always felt that there were some things that the news had concealed and not disclosed.
"Yesterday, the first batch of survivors from country R arrived in Jiangcheng... including hundreds of scientists and countless research achievements..."
"Today, the construction of the Jiangcheng Underground City has been underway for a month, and the progress is going smoothly. It is expected that the first phase of the underground city construction will be completed by the end of this year..."
"The Jiangcheng Underground City is related to the future of the country and the hope of humanity... All sectors of Jiangcheng should remain vigilant. No person or matter should interfere with the construction progress of the Jiangcheng Underground City..."
On television, the news continued to broadcast.
"Jiangcheng officials announced: Starting from now, the city will strengthen its vigilance and strictly enforce martial law. Anyone whose behavior is similar to attacking duty personnel or disrupting social order will be regarded as a saboteur and shot on sight, regardless of whether there was intent!"
Hearing this, Tang Li frowned. https:/
"It's that serious? It seems that what happened in city D was indeed not simple."
Seeing Tang Li frown, Tang Guo knew that this matter was not simple.
She asked, "Lili, what's wrong?"
Tang Li shook her head and did not reveal her guess.
She only said, "Be careful when you go out today. Jiangcheng might be in chaos soon."
Hearing Tang Li's words, Tang Guo also nodded seriously.
After breakfast and washing the dishes, Tang Guo went out to sell electrical appliances and collect old ones.
Tang Li, on the other hand, went to the black market first to deliver today's goods and collect yesterday's earnings.
After leaving the black market, she drove to the Jiangcheng Research Institute.
Today marked the end of the month. She had agreed with Song Pinxuan to pick up the integrated mechanical exoskeleton today.
As soon as she arrived at the entrance of Jiangcheng University, Tang Li saw two banners hanging on the gate.
One banner, written in Traditional Chinese characters, read "Warmly Welcome Country R Scientists to Join Jiangcheng Research Institute."
The other banner was written in English. However, judging by the fragmented characters, its content was similar to that of the Traditional Chinese banner.
When Tang Li arrived, the entrance was as usual, with no one around.
Only the mess on the ground and the cleaning staff remained.
It was obvious that the "Country R scientists" who had arrived and the people welcoming them had already left.
Tang Li called Song Pinxuan, and soon someone came to guide Tang Li's car in.
However, they did not go to the previous building but directly to the garden behind that building.
Song Pinxuan had already had the integrated mechanical exoskeleton moved down and was waiting for Tang Li in the garden.
