"What doesn't kill me will be killed by me, no exceptions."
Wu Xiaode said and continued to walk forward.
All the drones scattered, flew into the sky, and followed him from a distance.
A shrill and piercing air raid siren sounded throughout the city.
An electronic voice echoed through every playback device in the streets and alleys:
"One more hour until the meteor shower arrives."
"All citizens are requested to proceed to underground shelters."
"I repeat."
"All citizens must immediately go to underground shelters!"
The ground opened to reveal small compartments, somewhat like miniature elevators.
Scattered pedestrians jumped into the compartments and pressed the buttons above them.
Ding!
A gentle chime sounded.
A soft female voice followed:
"Identity verified, you will be directed to your designated underground shelter."
The compartments closed randomly.
From below, a dense sound of rail movement could be heard.
Soon, there were hardly any people left above ground.
