"This is bullshit!" someone shouted, seeing people moving towards the back.
The person who shouted was the man who wanted to cause a riot after the base fell into disrepair. Whether in real life or a simulation, this man liked to rile up a crowd.
Ivan watched him, not afraid of what he might try to do. As long as he tried to step forward, Ivan would cripple him. They may want people for the base, but they are not desperate.
"If what you saw had been real, do you think you would be left alive? Any of you?"
Ivan's voice was steady and flat. He did not beat around the bush and pretend to be a good person.
"If anything that happened in the simulation happened in real life, you would have died."
He turned to Cassia to tell her to continue letting people in. As soon as he turned, someone lunged. Ivan drew his knife. The knife slashed through the man's neck. He turned to the other standing there, horrified.
"Leave," he said evenly.
