Mobile Shelter

Chapter 22 Chaos

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood. In normal times in Daxia, people may remain indifferent to most things, but if you say that you are starving and just want to beg for food without asking for money, almost everyone will lend a helping hand.

I dare not say how good the food was, but it was enough to provide at least a fast food meal worth about ten yuan, not to mention staple foods like steamed buns and flatbreads.

Therefore, when faced with these people who were already so hungry that they looked pale and emaciated, the police officers stationed here really couldn't bear to shoot them.

The police officers stationed here are all frontline personnel from nearby police stations.

Therefore, although they did not recognize the people who were storming the warehouse, they were basically familiar with their faces. They knew that most of the people in the crowd would not have dared to storm the supply warehouse in front of them unless they were starving.

In addition, and more importantly, they knew in their hearts that the supplies in the warehouse were all allocated here by the government, and that under normal circumstances, the supplies stored there could only meet the planned distribution quantity for three days.

Therefore, even if those people took everything, the amount of supplies that each person received would not be much.

This time they let the other party go, firstly because they couldn't bear to see the other party looking pale and emaciated, and secondly because no one could bear the responsibility of killing so many people at once.

After all, even if all the supplies in the warehouse were looted, at most the higher-ups would just reprimand them a few times and give them a major demerit.

But if they were to kill a hundred people at this moment, they would not know what kind of consequences they would face. After all, those who sit in offices and engage in politics will not have any sympathy for frontline personnel like them.

So after weighing the pros and cons, the police officers could only watch helplessly as the crowd filed into the supply warehouse, carrying away the supplies stored inside with large and small bags.

Those people weren't stupid either. After seeing that the police only drew their guns but didn't say anything to stop them, they simply restrained the supplies management personnel.

The situation was not escalated. Everyone quietly entered the warehouse, loaded up the supplies they needed, and left quickly.

As the police officers had anticipated, after the authorities conducted a thorough investigation into the incident, they were only given a verbal warning.

They then arranged for other people to replace the original staff who were in charge of managing the distribution of supplies.

As subsequent supplies were distributed on time and in the required quantities, there were no further incidents like the one before, where people gathered and stormed the supply warehouse.

Dong Qi was unaware of the riots taking place in the city. He left early and returned late, completely unaware that the streets were now distributing emergency food to everyone.

Because his family had already stocked up on a lot of supplies, Dong Qi was not short of food and drink for the time being.

Moreover, although he was going to metal processing plants every day, most of these plants had on-site supermarkets with a lot of supplies. So, during these past few days of outings, Dong Qi's supplies not only did not decrease, but actually increased.

Unfortunately, there are only a dozen or so metal processing plants in Pengcheng Industrial Zone. Although there are some small workshops, they are basically processing materials supplied by customers, and Dong Qi doesn't care about the inventory in their warehouses.

My specialty: light passenger vehicle.

Level: Magical Artifact

Body frame: Reinforcement level LV6

Power System: Enhancement Level 4

Electrical equipment: Enhancement level LV0

Other equipment: LV3 Refining Furnace

Manifestation of ideas

Number of occurrences: 2

Unknown special energy value: 10.1

(Each manifestation consumes a minimum of 100 energy points, with no maximum limit.)

Reserve materials: 28.3 grams of refined gold, 2 tons of metal alloys

Dong Qi originally planned to use the metal alloy he had harvested this time to strengthen the car body frame and power system, just like last time, and then use the remaining alloy to strengthen the hundred-refinery furnace.

When Dong Qi strengthened the vehicle's frame to LV5, he realized that to upgrade his vehicle to the level of a magic weapon, he only needed to strengthen the frame to LV10; there were no specific level restrictions on other aspects.

In gaming terms, the vehicle's frame is part of the base stats; only when the base stats reach a certain level can its rank be upgraded.

Other enhancement branches are skill branches, which may affect combat functionality but do not affect the overall quality of the character.

Take the Hundred Refinement Furnace as an example. The only factor affecting its own grade is the grade of its materials. The level of enhancement during the refiner's refining process will not affect the grade of the magic weapon.

Since the level of the chassis frame is related to the defensive capabilities of the vehicle, Dong Qi focused on upgrading the chassis frame first after understanding this.

As time went by, order was gradually restored in the Great Xia region. Among the Awakened, various healing abilities were awakened, and with their efforts, traffic gradually returned to the roads.

However, Dong Qi, who had already confirmed that it was no longer possible to quickly collect metal around Pengcheng, stayed obediently at home.

Actually, there are several other places where large amounts of metal can be collected, such as scrap metal recycling stations or scrap car processing centers. If you think about it, you can find similar places.

However, as the damaged vehicles were gradually repaired, Dong Qi could no longer effectively conceal his whereabouts when he went out.

Despite the fact that Dong Qi's previous operations went very smoothly, if you were to estimate the metal cost consumed during the enhancement of his natal vehicle, it would be no small sum.

The sudden disappearance of such a massive amount of metal would undoubtedly attract the attention of the government.

So Dong Qi, now that he had settled down, didn't want to be caught red-handed by the authorities in the future.

After all, even in peacetime, cases are not necessarily judged based on evidence. At this time, if it arouses suspicion among government officials, it will have a great impact on Dong Qi.

Even though the main vehicle has been upgraded to withstand attacks from large-caliber shells, it's important to remember that there are missiles attached to the shells, and those missiles are equipped with nuclear peace agents.

Although the EMP impact temporarily prevented the activation of weapons that posed a threat to the vehicle.

But right now it's just that the electronic devices are damaged, not that Great Xia has lost the technology to manufacture those things.

Given the industrial capabilities of Great Xia, I believe it won't be long before they can remanufacture those weapons.

Dong Qi's approach was not wrong; indeed, riots caused by awakened individuals did occur in some border cities.

However, those awakened individuals did not have a chance to be arrogant for more than a few days before they were wiped out by the regular army dispatched by the imperial court.

Many awakened individuals have emerged in the military. The reason is actually quite simple: due to their physical fitness, soldiers are generally much better than most ordinary people.

In addition, many troops are stationed in remote locations, and although they have stockpiled a lot of medicine, it is still far from enough to cover the number of people stationed in the camps.

Therefore, when a large number of people in the camp experience dehydration, not everyone can receive glucose replenishment in time.

As a result, many soldiers who endured the ordeal developed superpowers to varying degrees.

However, for some unknown reason, the awakened abilities of those awakened individuals in the military camp were mostly related to their physical attributes.

Basically, they all involve strengthening a specific part of the body or a particular ability.
