Chapter 192 - 190: A Small Note
As Chen Xin was considering how to make snow treads, the atmosphere in the city was becoming increasingly tense.
Although on the surface everything seemed calm, beneath this facade was a looming tempest ready to erupt.
Each main shelter entrance was guarded by a strict checkpoint manned by city management personnel, police, and armed police, enforcing rigorous checks on everyone entering and exiting.
Management personnel were responsible for identity checks to ensure that everyone passing through had verifiable identities and possessed shelter residency permits and passes issued by the city government.
This management system was only implemented after the disaster; though residence and travel permits were used before, enforcement was not as stringent, much like IDs before the disaster.
Police were responsible for security checks, ensuring no one entering or exiting carried dangerous or prohibited items, while armed police maintained order, arresting or detaining suspicious individuals, and could neutralize those who resisted.
Under this tight coordination, while it wasn’t entirely foolproof, order appeared to be well-maintained, making it nearly impossible for malicious criminals to blend in.
Shelters were closely guarded, especially the City Hall Shelter.
As the current office location of the city government and the residence of the joint investigation team, soldiers from Star City stationed there made the defense even higher than that of other shelters, to the point where not even a fly could get in, although flies no longer existed.
However, despite stringent checks for entering and exiting, standing by the shelter entrance for a smoke was relatively easy and simple.
Due to the closed environment inside the shelter, smoking was quite troublesome.
Smoking in an enclosed space leaves an unpleasant odor and poses a fire risk.
