343, March 2nd, 8:00 AM.
Fifty large buses slowly departed from G City's underground city.
Inside were the 2,283 individuals who had agreed to vacate G City's underground city, along with over a dozen medical personnel from Jiang City.
Tang Li's original intention was to send only the medical personnel back to Jiang City, and to drive out the remaining 2,283 people from the underground city to fend for themselves.
The Hai City Governor's Mansion, controlled by the Z Country branch of the Holy Light Organization, would certainly not be willing to accept these burdens.
Even if regional official shelters were willing to accept them, they might be treated as criminals by the Hai City Governor's Mansion and directly sent to underground city construction sites.
Upon learning of this matter, the Jiang City Governor's Mansion stated they were willing to accept these people.
After all, these people were refugees from the eastern region. Their original destination was Jiang City, and they had only gone to F City Base because they heard the living conditions there were better.
Tang Li did not wish to be too ruthless, lest she chill the hearts of other underground city residents, so she sent these 2,283 people back to Jiang City along with the medical personnel.
Before they left Jiang City, she also allowed them to take all their personal belongings.
As for point vouchers, they could be exchanged for general vouchers to take away and still be used in Jiang City, but they could no longer be used to purchase items within G City's underground city.
Upon learning that only they were to be sent out of G City's underground city, those who had previously voted "agree" felt they were being targeted.
Especially upon realizing their point vouchers could not be exchanged for sufficient supplies, they became enraged.
But no matter how much they raged, they were completely subdued by the wireless mind-controlled robots.
When a guard member tried to draw a weapon to resist, they discovered their weapons had already been confiscated, leaving them no choice but to surrender.
Therefore, after being apprehended, these individuals remained unresigned.
Some severely cursed the G City shelter for burning bridges, some called the early confiscation of weapons a despicable act, and some, even under the supervision of the wireless mind-controlled robots, still attempted to cause trouble.
Seeing this, Lu Wan stepped forward and questioned them:
"Wasn't giving up your right to reside in the underground city unconditionally a decision you yourself voted for?"
"You were unwilling to be enemies with the Hai City authorities and feared being sent to construct underground cities by the Hai City Governor's Mansion. Now we are sending you to the jurisdiction of the Jiang City Governor's Mansion, and we don't require you to construct the Jiang City underground city."
"Whether it was your voted decision to vacate G City's underground city and wait for the expanded underground city to be completed in G City before queuing to enter, or your current departure from G City's underground city to wait in Jiang City for the completion of the Jiang City underground city before queuing to enter, the outcome is the same, isn't it?"
"You have enjoyed the convenience of the F City Base and G City Base for such a long time. Now you are merely being sent back to the position you should have originally occupied. What dissatisfaction do you still have?"
"Do you still wish to remain in G City's underground city and defy the Hai City Governor's Mansion that you yourselves call invincible? And then, as that fatty said, be sent to the underground city construction site?"
"Or perhaps, you wish to remain in G City's underground city and act as informants for the Hai City Governor's Mansion?"
In the face of Lu Wan's questions, those who had been unresigned before all lowered their heads.
Indeed, whether it was the choice they made when voting or the future they were about to face, the outcome seemed to be the same.
Being driven out of G City's underground city now seemed no different from their own choices.
The only difference was that one was in the jurisdiction of the Hai City Governor's Mansion, and the other was in the jurisdiction of the Jiang City Governor's Mansion.
Moreover, leaving G City's underground city for the Jiang City Governor's Mansion's jurisdiction meant staying away from the conflict between the G City shelter and the Hai City Governor's Mansion.
But they always felt that this choice caused them to lose something precious, something they could never get back.
It wasn't until years later, when G City's underground city became a paradise envied by all of humanity, while they resided in resource-scarce official underground cities, that they understood what they had lost...
Unlike the extreme heat season, when everyone preferred to travel at night when the temperature was lower,
During the extreme cold season, everyone chose to travel during the day when the temperature was higher, allowing them to sunbathe.
Therefore, Tang Li allowed these people to stay in the underground city for another night and only let them leave after daybreak.
After the fifty large buses departed, battling the north wind, another figure emerged from the elevator.
This person was Tang Li.
After she came out, the sixteen elevator entrances and exits of G City's underground city began to slowly retract into the ground.
The entire underground city was completely sealed off...
