章 1018: Please do not approach

After dinnertime, a convoy of vehicles suddenly sped out of the garrison base at Stronghold 144 and headed straight for the stronghold nearby.

The strongholds in the Northwest did not shut their gates at night anymore. The garrison troops changed shifts and allowed anyone to pass through as long as they didn't carry any prohibited items, be they refugees or stronghold residents.

A large number of patrolling troops and Public Order Division officers were also within the stronghold to maintain peace and order.

To maintain internal security, police hotlines were even set up in the Northwest. As long as someone called to report a case, the stronghold's administrative center would guarantee that officers from the Public Order Division would get there within 15 minutes to resolve matters.
