The fifth episode shakes off the burden, the content is spoiled, don’t enter if you don’t like it

In this episode, almost all the questions are covered.
1. What time is it? In fact, it has been around 4014, and almost 1,500 years have passed since the destruction of human civilization. The protagonist tried hard to climb the high mountains and cliffs, and finally got outside, only to find that the once city was in ruins.
2. How to get to this town? These people seem to have been awakened after being frozen. The psychiatrist built a base called "Ark", which is the town.
3. Does the monster really exist? Yes, (the description in the play) human civilization has been destroyed. A large number of original humans have been deformed into powerful creatures of low intelligence. With sharp claws, they can easily kill the original humans. This is also the reason for the destruction of human civilization.
4. Why not disclose the secret? Allegedly, the secrets began to be disclosed, causing two evil consequences, one is that people commit suicide in despair, and the other is that some people want to flee madly, causing some human deaths; therefore, this secret was not told to adults, only to young children. Said, because children have a strong ability to accept reality.

In the fifth episode, it suddenly became a doomsday survival type, and it was really played by the director again. . . .
In this context, I feel that it is not a pure doomsday survival type. It is more about the social structure and politics of human beings. This small town has always been a high-pressure management method. It is not allowed to tell the truth. Adults live in lies. , The managers used "for your good!" and "for the good of all mankind!" as reasons to imprison civilians.
More things have not been revealed, such as:
What does this town depend on for survival? Food source? How long can food and electricity last? Why is there not enough force to eliminate the deformed people?
Why do you value the male protagonist so much? What are the qualities of the male protagonist that make them value so much? They were selected to come here. What are the reasons for the selection?
Intending to build a base for human survival. The management or governance method is so low-level and ridiculous, and there is no necessary force to maintain it. It only relies on a walled power grid. It looks like a paradise but there is no hope. Everyone is idle. ,why?

In short, although I hate the way of governance, I still look forward to the later episodes in general.
