Mobile Shelter

Chapter 163 The Beginning of the Migration

The sudden collapse of major cities forced most ordinary people who wanted to live in their original cities to embark on a migration journey.

Even if some people are well-trained, they do not know the location of those safe zones because they do not have the coordinates left by the original will of Blue Star when it left.

Therefore, even ordinary people who possess a large number of firearms need to rely on awakened individuals to embark on the migration to the true safe zone without any deviation.

Fortunately, the exact location of the safe zone is already known to any awakened being.

Therefore, even though the number of awakened individuals is not large, it is not particularly difficult for ordinary people to find a suitable awakened individual to guide them.

Of course, as I've said before, while all roads lead to Rome, some people are born in Rome.

Some people were in areas where the safe zone appeared.

The luckiest people are those whose areas have been designated as safe zones, while the unluckiest are those living in coastal areas.

The coastal areas used to be the happiest, with no worries about food or drink.

Compared to the inland areas that previously lacked drinking water and had difficulty obtaining food.

The difficulty of survival has undergone a complete reversal.

Dong Qi, who was collecting metal materials in the industrial park, was unaware of the situation outside.

However, the convoy that entered the city to collect supplies was discovered by the city's survivors just as it approached the city's edge.

Although the original city center area has now been occupied by countless humanoid mutants.

However, compared to the harsh living environment in the wild, even if the suburbs are dangerous, survivors will choose buildings in this area as temporary shelter.

After all, with the cement foundation in place, the survivors who have temporarily settled here will no longer be harassed by the ubiquitous mutant insects.

And most importantly, modern people who are used to living in buildings would find it very difficult to stay outdoors for long.

As a result, the originally sparsely populated suburban areas gradually became the settlements for the remaining survivors in the city.

Looking at the people blocking the car, perhaps because of his previous experience, Lu Ziye became very cautious when faced with someone trying to stop him this time.

After all, the windshield of one of the cars in the convoy had already been smashed. Although Lu Ziye had prepared another spare car in advance, he temporarily switched to his own vehicle.

However, having learned from his previous experience, Lu Ziye was now on high alert when faced with other people's attempts to intercept him.

Perhaps because the area was relatively open, after hearing Lu Ziye's announcement on the radio, the other vehicles behind the convoy gradually accelerated and drove alongside Lu Ziye's vehicle.

The Cui Ran team had fewer than ten vehicles at the time, but all of them were heavily modified. When these vehicles were lined up side by side, they still gave others a strong sense of pressure.

Perhaps sensing the hostility from the convoy, the group that had been blocking the way gradually dispersed after the leader of the group appeared.

Seeing that the other party was taking the initiative to be friendly, Lu Ziye did not press too hard, but instead got out of the car.

Of course, when he got off the vehicle this time, he not only notified the awakened people in other vehicles in advance via radio, but also carried a fully automatic rifle in one hand as a deterrent.

Just as the convoy encountered trouble, Dong Qi's previously successful looting operation also ran into problems.

Although Dong Qi had prepared himself mentally before going to this area alone, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable when he actually faced this scene.

The main reason was that when Dong Qi was scavenging for metal materials, he found a tightly closed, heavy metal door in a certain enterprise.

Dong Qi had assumed that behind the metal door was a warehouse storing valuable supplies, but to his surprise, after using a robotic arm to remove the metal door, he discovered a rather secluded survival base behind it.

If Dong Qi hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that someone in the industrial park would build an underground survival base in this high-profile, bustling area.

However, in general, residents living in such independent private bases are much safer than those low-level personnel who are left to fend for themselves in bases.

But after Dong Qi used the robotic arm to open the door inside the survival base, he discovered the presence of the mutants.

The moment Dong Qi saw the mutants, he knew that the shelter had been completely overrun.

After all, in such a completely enclosed environment, no matter how well hidden the location is, it is difficult to escape the tracking of the mutants.

Based on Dong Qi's previous experiments, whether it's mutated marine creatures or mutated insects, their vision is actually not that advanced.

The reason they can pinpoint the location of their prey from an extremely long distance is because they possess a scent tracking method similar to their sense of smell.

Therefore, after Dong Qi completely sealed the vehicle and isolated the ventilation inside and outside, as long as the vehicle did not get particularly close to the mutants, those alien creatures would not actively attack the vehicle.

After noticing the presence of mutants in the shelter, Dong Qi opened the metal door but did not immediately drive his vehicle inside. Instead, he directly ordered the mechanical wolf to go in first and clear out the mutants.

Compared to the frequently seen drones, the mechanical wolves, after being integrated into their designated vehicles and becoming mechanical guards, rarely have the opportunity to be deployed.

This time, Dong Qi did not hold back. In addition to sending five mechanical wolves in, he also dispatched several small drones to follow and assist.

After entering the shelter, the mechanical wolves quickly discovered the mutant's body.

Seeing the deformed mutants, the mechanical wolf launched a probing attack first.

After all, Dong Qi still doesn't know the fatal weaknesses of those mutants. The battles he's seen before have either been one-sided massacres or retreats without even a fight.

Although those mutants appeared to be very powerful, Dong Qi didn't really know their actual combat strength.

Because the mechanical wolf is not equipped with melee weapons, even though its body has been enhanced, both its fangs and claws have been greatly strengthened.

However, at the start of the battle, the mechanical wolves still used the guns they carried on their backs to attack.

The first to make a move was not the mechanical wolf carrying a sniper cannon on its back, but the two mechanical wolves with fully automatic rifles mounted on their backs.

With a gunshot, the mutant successfully unlocked the metal shell and searched for its scattered flesh and blood.

Dong Qi never expected that the mutants in the shelter were so weak in combat; a single volley from two fully automatic rifles was enough to easily eliminate one of them.

And most importantly, judging from the appearance of this mutant, it is still the most powerful first-generation mutant in the outside world.

But the bursts of gunfire that followed were like a rallying cry.

A steady stream of mutants gradually gathered and accumulated in this area.

As the mechanical wolf discovered that the mutants were gradually gathering in this area, a series of alarms sounded on the monitor on the center console of Dong Qi's car.

As the bizarre and varied figures of the mutants gathered around the mechanical wolf.

Even if the vehicle in question has not actually entered the shelter, the vehicle body is still considered to be outside the shelter.

But Dong Qi still felt the earth tremble. Normally, anyone who has experienced this before would not have felt it.

Either you're still asleep, or an earthquake occurs in the area where you are.

So just as Dong Qi was about to drive away from this area, a huge thing slowly walked out from the passage deep inside the shelter.

The earth trembled just now because every step he took was extremely heavy.

Simply put, the body is so heavy that even slow walking causes tremors in the surrounding area with every movement.

The moment Dong Qi saw this behemoth on the screen on the center console, he knew that it was absolutely the source of the shelter's destruction.

After all, in such a closed environment, only the first to be infected and become a mutant can obtain enough nutrients for growth by hunting other humans.

Dong Qi had no intention of waiting for the enemy to be ready before starting the battle; he acted immediately upon seeing the guy.

Several drones hovering above the mechanical wolves immediately launched their only offensive weapon: micro missiles.

This missile, which is less than half a meter in length, carries only a few percent of the amount of ammunition that a conventional missile would carry.

But even against thick tank armor, it can deliver a fatal blow, rendering the tank unusable.

The missile mounted on the underside of the drone is released from its mounting slot the moment it is activated.

The missile fell naturally to a height of less than 20 centimeters before breaking the sound barrier instantly due to the appearance of flames with a Mark ring at its tail.

Although the text describes it extensively, in reality, it only took the blink of an eye for the missile originally mounted under the drone to collide with the body of the giant mutated creature.

Before the giant could even react, the missiles that had struck his body one after another exploded instantly.

Perhaps in just a moment of hesitation, the strongest fighting force in this shelter was blown into pieces by three miniature missiles carried by drones.

A tremendous roar, accompanied by the shockwave from the explosion of the miniature missile, burst forth directly into the only passageway of the previously sealed shelter.

However, even if Dong Qi were not sitting in his car at this moment, but instead staying outside, he would not be affected by this level of impact.

With the powerful shockwave generated by the missile explosion, the entire shelter was instantly left in a state of chaos.

The drones that were originally hovering in the air were also destroyed after the missile exploded.

Although the drone's airframe strength has been greatly enhanced after several reinforcements, its small size, coupled with the fact that it exploded in mid-air, meant it had no other leverage points.

Therefore, it was unable to maintain its original balance in the shockwave and was blown away and crashed into the walls of the shelter.

After this violent impact, these drones are basically totaled.

If Dong Qi hadn't been able to repair it using the Treasure Forging Technique, it would have been virtually impossible for an ordinary person to repair it, unless they were awakened individuals with repair-related superpowers.

Compared to the nearly destroyed drones, the mechanical wolves had already all crouched down before the missile was launched, taking advantage of the powerful impact of the missile explosion.

As the impact of the explosion gradually subsided, the five mechanical wolves slowly stood up again.

Compared to the nearly destroyed drones, these five mechanical wolves did not suffer much damage in the shockwave of the explosion.

Because the drone was rendered unusable, Dong Qi had no choice but to send another drone into the shelter.

After the five mechanical wolves got up, they worked with the radar installed on their vehicle to lock onto the remaining living beings in the shelter.

Under the close-range, precise scanning of the radar on the vehicle, the remaining surviving mutants in the shelter could not be hidden at all.

The mechanical wolf locked onto the mutants before they were even out of the lingering effects of the missile explosions.

Although the mutants were still dizzy and temporarily unable to resist, the mechanical wolves still showed no intention of approaching to inspect them.

Along with those in-vehicle intelligent center consoles, they lock onto the target location based on the direction given by radar scanning.

Even before the smoke and dust had completely cleared from the shelter, the guns on the backs of the five mechanical wolves had already begun firing directly at the target area, following the instructions issued by the intelligent control center.

Although Dong Qi still cannot determine the vital points of those mutants, he shot them twice in the chest, once in the head, and finally added a bullet to their waist.

If even this couldn't kill those mutants, Dong Qi would have no choice but to accept it.

But those mutants were still carbon-based life forms after all, so even though it was somewhat wasteful, the mutants were hit in different places by the four bullets.

The body, which had been struggling, instantly calmed down, seemingly entering a deep sleep.

Except for the mechanical wolf with the sniper cannon mounted on its back, which stopped firing and remained standing guard, the others...

The other four mechanical wolves, due to the environment in the shelter, could only move their bodies to adjust their shooting angles.

With the help of radar, even the mutants buried underneath could not escape the mechanical wolves' finishing blows.

As the last mutated creature in the shelter disappeared from the radar, so too did the glowing spot disappear.

Dong Qi subconsciously opened the data panel in his mind and found that after clearing out this shelter and hunting so many mutants, he only obtained a little over two hundred points of Origin Value.

It took so much effort to wipe out all the mutants in this shelter, and only that little bit of Origin Value was obtained. To be honest, it wasn't as efficient as using the electromagnetic cannon to hunt down the giant mutant ocean.

After all, a single, simple shot was enough to easily eliminate a giant mutated marine creature.

Most importantly, the ammunition used by the electromagnetic railgun is pure metal ammunition. Although it is theoretically more valuable, Dong Qi, who owns the Hundred Refinement Furnace, can manufacture it himself by consuming metal materials.

Now, as they clear out the mutants in this shelter, not to mention anything else, Dong Qi doesn't have much of the micro missiles used by the drones left in his inventory.

The miniature missiles carried by the drones were all spoils of Dong Qi's secret underground base in the island nation.

If all of them are used up, Dong Qi really has no stable source of replenishment.

However, if it really comes down to it and Dong Qi really wants to acquire micro missiles, he can come up with a way if he's forced into a corner.

Don't forget that Dong Qi not only awakened the special abilities of Lan Xing Dan Yu, but also carried the gift of the Earth to every wanderer.

Originally, because he didn't understand the Origin Value and the corresponding acquisition channels, Dong Qi would hoard the Origin Value he obtained like a hamster, and dared not use any of it except for exchanging it for items to upgrade his Destiny Car.

However, after understanding the original value and clearly knowing the channels through which the original value is obtained.

Although the Origin Value was still very precious in Dong Qi's eyes, the original restrictions on its use had long been relaxed in his mind.

As long as it's cost-effective enough, Dong Qi doesn't mind using his fingers more often, especially the unique Golden Hand Chest ability of a time traveler.

With the death of the last mutant in the shelter, the mechanical wolf on guard remained in place.

The remaining four mechanical wolves, meanwhile, were in the corner, carrying away the nearly destroyed drone belonging to the boss back to his car for recycling.

Although there were no longer any signals from the mutants on the radar, to ensure safety, after the four mechanical wolves retrieved the drone, they still sent it back to its shelter.

Using the infrared vertical scanning equipment carried on them, the entire shelter is scanned, allowing the intelligent central system to generate a three-dimensional model of the shelter.

Perhaps because the shelter was not very large when it was originally set up, the three-dimensional model was built very quickly, and Dong Qi did not have to wait in the car for long.

With the 3D model, Dong Qi was able to gain a more intuitive understanding of the overall structure of the shelter.

Once Dong Qi had fully grasped the layout of the shelter's interior, he left the driver's seat fully armed and personally entered the shelter.

As Dong Qi walked into the passage where the metal door had been, his car followed behind him and stopped directly in the passage, blocking it to prevent anyone else from getting close.

As soon as I stepped out of the passage, all I saw was a messy ground.

The ground was littered with various broken pieces of objects, as well as fragments of the mutated creature's flesh and blood.

After Dong Qi, who had just entered the lead shelter, saw this scene, the expectant look on his face gradually disappeared.

Guided by the drone in front of him, Dong Qi began to explore the shelter in detail.

It took Dong Qi half a day to walk through the entire sheltered area.

The good news is that there are still a lot of supplies in the warehouse inside the shelter. It seems that the initial infected people were the first group of people to enter this shelter.
