There is no need to do anything. Let the secret of the collapsed underground corridors of bunker remain buried in the dark depths.

Gregory's proposal has some logic, but you are overcome with a bad feeling.

Of course, maybe these are just paranoid thoughts...

But what if your vague fears are true?

"It is better not to clear the ancient underground corridors of that bunker from rubble and not to explore. What if there is an even greater danger to your settlement there than feral ghouls? No, there is no need to risk it..." - this is approximately how you think.

A hunched old human with a graying mustache and a bald head respectfully awaits your decision. His hands nervously fiddling with the fabric of his old, worn cloak.

"My answer is categorically negative. No. I will not allow any further exploration of the territory of this bunker. It is too dangerous. Forget about it, Gregory." - the peremptory tone of your voice does not allow for objections.

The look in the old man's brown eyes shows some surprise and perhaps even displeasure.

But he subdues his emotions, bows to you and leaves your office.

After he left, you ate a little, and then you decided to walk along the streets of the settlement.

Your attention is drawn to the noise coming from the eastern outskirts of the settlement.

You quickly go there and see a small crowd of local inhabitants.

The crowd is clearly unfriendly.

Shouts and curses.

You even see how someone from the crowd throws stones at the sign of a small shop of scavekger’s stuff.

"Uncle Skull's Useful Things" - your attentive gaze notices this inscription, painted in black fuel oil on the sign of the shop.

You also notice that the owner of the shop (a puny ghoul with a head on which the skin is almost completely missing) and a small group of other ghouls are trying to hide inside the shop.

"You stinking rotten shit eaters! Your ugly "kins" killed my daddy!" - the scream of one of the teenage girls makes it easy for you to guess that the usual hostility towards ghouls has received a powerful boost due to recent events.

Numerous casualties during the attack of feral ghouls...

Indeed, despite the successful defense, there were many dead and wounded.

And now the relatives and friends of these dead or wounded persons have decided to "take action" against what, in their opinion, was the cause of what happened.

More and more stones are flying at the building of the shop...

Suddenly you hear the tramp of many feet.

You turn around and see Ben and an armed squad of your elite guard.

"Dar... I meant... Mister Mayor! It was reckless of you to go for a walk in the streets without protection!" - you see the smiling face of your old friend.

Ben is dressed in a bulletproof vest and he is holding an M16 rifle.

At this point, an old woman from the crowd notices you and shouts: "Mister Mayor! Please take action! Because of these ghouls, my son was injured and he is still **** to treat a wound on his left hand! Drive these vile monsters out of our settlement! I am sure that these monsters are to blame for the recent attack - they opened the bunker and released their "kins"!"

Ben comes up to you and says quietly: "I only need your order... My guys and I will quickly use **** and disperse this crowd of idiots. A couple of shots in the air, a few blows with rifle butts and these fools will run to their huts!"

Ben, as usual, demonstrates his readiness for decisive action...

But is it right to act this way now?

So, you will now have to make a difficult decision...

Disperse the crowd by ****?

This will temporarily eliminate the risk of negative events.

But in the long run, this could lead to something unpleasant…

Or will you try to persuade the crowd to disperse?

This may help if you are eloquent and persuasive. But this is also only a temporary solution.

Or will you still decide to satisfy the demand of the outraged crowd?

Completely expelling all ghouls from the territory of the settlement The Green Oasis…

This decision will eliminate some of the problems. But this decision will also create new problems.
