"Ordinary citizens? Get them to seek shelter..." Lister began instinctively, but he got only halfway through his sentence when a ruckus of shouting and scuffling rapidly approached from the corridor. Almost immediately after, he heard the voice of a young girl outside, yelling at the top of her lungs—
"Everybody f*cking move! Make way! Time is precious! What's the word for it... window, oh, the window of opportunity is just f*cking this brief!"
Lister looked up in astonishment, and the next second, he saw two young girls burst through the soldiers' blockade and forcefully storm into the critical command center.
One was short and slim, dressed in a black cotton dress, yet she single-handedly pushed two burly soldiers away from the door. The other was slightly taller, clad in a simple brown coat and cotton dress, her complexion seemingly a bit tense.
Both girls looked to be only sixteen or seventeen, the slim one even younger-looking.
