Chapter 30: The Dome Refugee: Part 2 (1/2)
From the outside, Gray could see that rather than it being one single Dome, it was one large connected by four other medium sized ones, this was certainly interesting to see.
After passing through the gates, they were quickly subjugated to a sterilization area, a place where, upon entering, sprayed them with some sort of detoxified or sterilizer.
There was only one path, the room following that was an area known as the quarantining area, this one was heavily guarded by automatic reinforced metal doors.
There were a few others in the area, a small queue which led to a group of trained professionals wearing a white full body suit and gas masks.
It was split between males and females, the females conducted a full body check up hidden behind curtains for the girls and the same went for the guys. Aurora and Lita were hesitant to split up at first, but eventually they got over it.
The process itself was quick, they had to strip down to their underwear. Fortunately it was nothing further than that, otherwise Aurora might have honestly frozen the whole place down.
After that, they also did a blood test to make sure there was no signs of the virus in the bloodstream, as apparently many of the water supplies around the city were indeed infected meaning it could still be in some peoples system.
”W-What?! What do you mean I'm infected?!” Someone suddenly sprung up, yelling out from the other side of the curtains.
Gray who was outside waiting his turn could, watched quietly as a group of guards escorted the man out of the curtains. Once he began struggling saying that there was nothing waiting for him out there, one of them pointed their rifles at him.
”This is for everyone's safety. You're already a goner. I'm sorry.” Said the guard as he kept the rifle pointed at him.
A military outfit, so far all the guards Gray had seen had been apart of the military. Well all those except for the ability users outside, they wore regular clothing.
”P-Please! M-My family is in there, They called me! I still have the mail!” The man begged.
Despite that, the guard didn't falter.
”I'm sorry.”
The man cried out for help as they dragged him outside the quarantine room.
Without a change in his expression, Gray proceeded through, now that it was his turn.

After everything was done, they were given a key card with their digitalized names and a number displayed. They were also given a rule book which explained how they would get their rations and how things worked were given to them.
Together, the four along with the rest of those who had passed the exam stood in front of another set of automatic reinforced doors, waiting for it to open.
A voice came from the speaker.
”Welcome to Refugee X-012, I hope you enjoy your stay.”
Following that, the sound of steam compressing could be heard, as the reinforced doors automatically opened.
A warm breeze instantly blew by, the sweet scent of food filled their nostrils and a bright light lit up their eyes.
Through their eyes they could see a large transparent spherical roof, displaying the cloudy and rainy sky. Beneath it were countless different types of stores, the range varied from restaurants to even clothes.
There was even an arcade with games inside and a casino.
From the outside, this was completely unexpected. Smiles could be seen on the faces of many as they walked around. Music was playing and there was even a large TV, broadcasting prerecorded channels at the very top.
The four of them were honestly taken aback, compared to outside, it looked like heaven.
”Amazing, isn't it?”
Turning to the source of the voice, they find a grown man. Short black hair, brown eyes and a trimmed beard. He wore a black shirt with long green camo pants.
”With how bad things are outside, it almost seems fake. But you can relax.” He said as he took a step forward. ”You're safe here.” He added before walking off.
Without saying anything, they watched as he disappeared off into one of the restaurants.
