The explosion came behind him. Inside the shelter.
"What the—"
With a step, the Nouveu Protector appeared at the entrance of the shelter, which was a good distance away from his position. "I'll handle it here."
"How?" Benign watched the man leave without replying. He kept both ears at his front and back.
Another mine erupted at a distance to the left. The patterns changed, but the people were already hidden. Only those dragging survivors remained.
"If there's a mine in the shelter." He turned to the building. Someone rushed out. "What is it—"
"The portal collapsed. It shut down, and those injured can no longer be taken to the headquarters."
Benign bit his lower lip. The portal answered how so many could enter the shelter and find refuge at the same time. It also solved the problem of having fewer survivors to worry about.
With this development, fear would spread faster than his orders. "Keep them coming."
