They carried huge backpacks stuffed full on their backs, bulging plastic bags in their hands, and some were pushing creaky handcarts piled with bedding and clothes.
On each face, weariness and confusion were intertwined, yet a hint of determination shone in their eyes.
Li Qingyang remembered.
Last night, while I was at work, I overheard a senior medical professional mentioning it in casual conversation.
Most of these people were preparing to leave Tokyo.
Some went to seek refuge with relatives who had not been attacked by the monsters.
Some, however, planned to simply return to their rural hometowns to seek refuge.
After all, this region is no longer a habitable place after a series of disasters.
A spatial vortex could appear at any time, and once it hangs high in the sky, everyone will have to drag their families into the underground containment facility.
Nobody knows when the monster will crawl out—the next second? Or next week?
How many times has this happened this month alone? Who can stand it?
It now appears that more people have chosen to leave than he imagined.
Yeah, who wouldn't want to live? Who would want to leave if they could stay here? The defense force can't even defeat the monster, what can they do?
Don't talk about Ultraman coming or anything. Even if Ultraman comes, there will be a battle. The terrifying aftershocks of that battle can make your ears almost go deaf, even if you're hiding underground.
If you really want to experience it on the ground, why don't you try it?
Do you believe I'll die right away?
In conclusion, although I really want to see Ultraman fight monsters in person, this is reality, not a tokusatsu drama. As an adult, I always think that life is more important.
Just now, Li Qingyang overheard someone packing up while cursing loudly, saying things like, "Why does the space vortex like Tokyo so much? What is it about Tokyo that makes it want to visit again and again? Go Ultraman! Kill all the monsters soon so we can all return to this place..."
The intensity of the language used made Li Qingyang shake his head, secretly thinking it was still lacking.
If you were to use Chinese to greet the mother of the Space Vortex, you could greet her a dozen or twenty times, going around in circles without repeating yourself.
Of course, some young people are also looking forward to witnessing Ultraman's battle firsthand, and when they gather together to brag, they say things like, "If I can see Ultraman fight monsters, it would be worth the ticket price even if I die..."
One look at him and he's clearly a bloodthirsty spectator; they should be carried off the stage immediately.
My phone suddenly vibrated in my pocket.
Li Qingyue*Yi-Shou*fa Yang took it out and saw that it was a text message from Kato Megumi.
He opened the text message and glanced at it.
The content was very brief, consisting of only a few words.
"Li Jun, look to the left."
Li Qingyang subconsciously looked towards his left.
Not far away, a slender figure sat quietly on a relatively flat stone at the edge of the mound.
The afterglow of the setting sun perfectly outlined her soft silhouette, as if draping her in a warm orange veil, isolating her from the somber atmosphere around her.
It's Megumi Kato.
Today, she changed out of the plain-colored clothes provided by the shelter and wore a light blue cotton dress with delicate white lace trim at the neckline. The simple style made her look exceptionally fresh.
Her signature shoulder-length bob swayed gently in the evening breeze, a few soft strands brushing against her fair and delicate cheeks.
The girl's clear eyes gazed in this direction.
She raised her right hand, which was holding the phone, her wrist slender, and waved it slightly at Li Qingyang.
A faint, almost imperceptible smile played at the corners of her lips, like a ripple on a calm surface of water, gentle and serene.
Oh...she is a beautiful sunset scene in herself.
Good looking, love to watch.

Li Qingyang took a step forward, the sand and gravel making a slight scraping sound on the soles of his shoes, and walked towards the figure in the setting sun.
The girl's light-colored eyes reflected the light of the setting sun, like crystal. She smiled slightly, her eyebrows like crescent moons, her expression as serene as autumn water.
"Finally off work, thank you for your hard work, Li Jun." Her voice was soft, a little softer than usual, with a hint of elation.
Li Qingyang's gaze lingered on Kato Megumi's face for a moment, his eyebrows immediately furrowing. Then, his gaze shifted to her left arm, which was still bandaged, and his expression turned rather unpleasant.
What happened to your hand?
"It's nothing..." Kato Megumi looked away slightly, as if organizing her thoughts, before replying softly, "I was accidentally bumped into by someone while I was taking refuge yesterday."
The girl looked up at Li Qingyang and forced a relaxed smile.
"It hurts a little, but it's nothing serious."
Only Li Qingyang knew how forced that smile looked in the setting sun.
Despite her best efforts to conceal it, the pain she was enduring could not escape the eyes of this professional.
"Let me see." Li Qingyang's voice wasn't loud, but it exuded a sense of pressure that made the girl involuntarily shrink back.
“Li Jun looks a little scary when he’s angry…” Kato Megumi said softly, obediently raising her injured left arm slightly, her movements revealing obvious stiffness and pain.
Seeing this, Li Qingyang squatted down, his line of sight level with the girl's left arm. He carefully reached out and supported her elbow, his fingertips lightly touching the edge of the plaster cast covering her arm. He frowned and scanned the area, a glint of light appearing in his eyes as he maximized his observation skills.
After taking a closer look, Li Qingyang's brows furrowed even more.
The previously set bones are clearly misaligned, and inflammation and swelling have also appeared.
Tsk... You must have been badly bumped into during the hustle and bustle of the refugee camp, and you're only bringing it up now.
"It's alright, Mr. Li."
Kato Megumi seemed to notice the subtle change in his emotions and tried to comfort him, "Mom and Dad went to get some painkillers, and after taking them I'm already..."
So your parents are also superhuman, able to fix their misaligned bones with painkillers?
This is making my blood pressure drop!
Now, right now, make your parents kneel before me... Never mind, it's not that serious.
Li Qingyang didn't say anything, but just gave her a deep look.
That look made Kato Megumi involuntarily fall silent, and she said somewhat awkwardly, "In Marseille, everyone says medical resources are very scarce, so my parents took it upon themselves to decide..."
"Don't move."
After saying that, Li Qingyang got up and strode towards the entrance of the shelter, leaving Kato Megumi sitting alone on the rock, looking at his back with some confusion.
Not long after, Li Qingyang returned, carrying a slightly worn canvas medical kit.
He knelt down next to Kato Megumi again, unzipped the medical kit, revealing neatly arranged gauze, disinfectant, and some basic medical equipment inside.
"It might hurt a little, just bear with it."
As he spoke, he took out medical scissors.
"I'll reprocess it for you."
Kato Megumi looked at his focused expression, her eyes sparkling, and gave a soft "hmm".
Li Qingyang said no more, and quickly and gently cut open the bandage on the outside of her arm, then carefully removed the somewhat loose plaster cast.
With the removal of the cast, the girl's bruises and unnatural swelling on her arm were clearly exposed.
Li Yinqi, using a cotton swab dipped in disinfectant, gently and carefully cleaned the skin around her wound.
A slight, cool stinging sensation came over her, and Kato Megumi's body tensed up slightly. Her eyelashes trembled and drooped, and her small, delicate toes curled up unconsciously in her slippers before slowly relaxing.
Li Qingyang gently pressed and probed the misaligned bone with his fingertips, his brow furrowed the entire time.
This needs to be reset...
"Take a deep breath and don't be nervous."
Li Qingyang looked up at her, his voice steady, and quietly drew a stream of light from the boundless sea of light within his body, silently illuminating her. The light gathered at his fingertips, gently caressing her delicate skin.
The light was extremely faint, clinging to the skin beneath the fingertips, almost transparent, carrying a warmth like the early spring sun.
The girl's condition was rather serious, and she might not be able to receive proper treatment under the current conditions. So, after a moment's consideration, he quietly increased the output power of the light.
The tiny warmth at the fingertips became even more gentle the moment it touched the girl's skin.
It gently seeped in, enveloping the slightly misaligned bones, soothing her nerves that were tense from the pain, and dispelling the accumulated swelling and pain.
Kato Megumi's eyes reflected the faint light from the boy's fingertips, and her subconsciously held breath slowly relaxed with this sudden feeling of comfort.
Her slightly furrowed brows relaxed a little unconsciously, and she squinted her eyes with a hint of enjoyment, a slight blush appearing on her pale face.
The tense body gradually relaxes...
My period is huge!!!
In that instant, Li Qingyang's eyes flashed, and he suddenly exerted force with both hands. There was a very slight sound of bones rubbing together, accompanied by Kato Megumi's suppressed exclamation. The dislocated bones had been quickly reset by him.
The whole process was so fast that it was almost impossible to react.
Kato Megumi's face twisted into a frown for a moment, then, as if realizing something, she immediately relaxed and stared at him blankly.
"No...it doesn't hurt?"
Her initial fear and anxiety stemming from a slight fear of pain transformed into confusion.
Oh no, I used too much force, and the broken bones were healed by his light.
Looking into the girl's light-colored eyes, which were filled with confusion and surprise, Li Qingyang's heart skipped a beat. He calmly withdrew his hand and said in as steady a tone as possible, "The situation is not as serious as I thought. She is almost fully recovered."
Kato Megumi blinked and carefully moved her left arm.
The excruciating pain vanished without a trace, leaving not even a hint of discomfort, as if the previous fracture was just an illusion.
Is this... this seven_ mountain hills (nine) weapon mountain?
Was Li Jun just putting my dislocated bone back in place? There was a cracking sound...
How come even the swollen areas have gone down now?
Kato Megumi tilted her head, her bob hair swaying gently with the movement. "You said you'd need a cast for a month... but I only got my cast about two weeks ago."
Li Qingyang coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment, stood up, and began packing his medical kit.
"That's the normal situation."
He explained as he tossed the disinfectant-soaked cotton swabs into the trash bag.
"Your bone condition is much better than that of the average person. Your bones have a strong self-repair ability, so it is normal that you are recovering quickly."
"Really?"
"real."
Li Qingyang put everything back in its place, zipped up the canvas bag, and then stood up and said, "Just make sure you get plenty of rest and don't bump into anything again."
"Soga..."
Kato Megumi gently stroked her left arm, which had recovered completely, and the incredible warmth seemed to linger on her skin.
Li Jun is a person with a secret...
A faint smile played on her lips. She didn't ask another question about how her injuries had healed so quickly. She looked up at the black-haired boy in front of her, her voice returning to its usual soft and calm tone.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, for making you work overtime. Sit down and rest for a while."
Li Qingyang's gaze fell on the girl.
The afterglow of the setting sun outlined her slender figure, and the light blue dress made her skin appear exceptionally fair and delicate.
Her shoulder-length bob swayed gently in the breeze, revealing her delicate, small ears.
She sat there quietly, a stark contrast to the noisy and oppressive crowd around her, like a delicate little flower blooming alone amidst the ruins.
He wanted to leave, but looking into her clear eyes, Li Qingyang found himself unable to refuse. He put his canvas bag aside, plopped down next to her, leaned forward, rested his elbows on his thighs, and looked at the city ruins that stretched out into the distance, letting out a long sigh.
The lingering rays of the setting sun struggled, painting a blood-red hue across the city's shattered skyline.
Twisted steel frames pierce the dim sky; the once bustling streets are now nothing but rubble-filled ravines, with shadows of varying depths spreading across them.
