Mobile Shelter

When Dong Qi returned to the temporary base, he found that many people had already returned with supplies.

Of course, those who collected the supplies simply returned them to their vehicles and then left again without looking back.

However, Dong Qi could tell from the tattered clothes on their bodies that those people were not entirely safe while collecting supplies.

None of the members of the Wind Chaser team expected that, despite the fact that this industrial park in the secret realm had become an abandoned industrial park, a careful search could still yield a lot of valuable resources.

They even found an oil storage tank that contained a considerable amount of fuel.

After everyone searched carefully, to their surprise, they were able to find enough survival supplies to last for more than half a month.

It's worth noting that the amount of supplies consumed by the Wind Chaser team is almost twice that of some more frugal teams.

Therefore, if they are frugal, the supplies collected at this time are enough to meet everyone's needs for a month.

After everyone returned to the temporary base, Lu Ziye first tallied the casualties from the operation.

The awakened members in the convoy suffered only minor injuries and no one was killed.

However, the number of civilian casualties has reached more than 50. It should be noted that there are only more than 200 civilians in the entire convoy, which has been reduced by a quarter.

But there's really no way around it. After all, when faced with invisible attacks that can harm even awakened beings, ordinary people would die the moment they are attacked, having no ability to resist whatsoever.

There are also monsters hidden in the water. Although they don't suddenly appear to attack during the rainstorm, once they enter a building, the ordinary people they target have no chance to fight back.

Therefore, it is quite normal for ordinary people who went out to collect supplies to suffer such heavy casualties.

However, among the members of the Wind Chaser team, those ordinary people who had undergone multiple enhancements did not suffer serious injuries or deaths, perhaps due to their physical condition.

At this moment, Dong Qi and the other official members gathered together. Seeing that no one had disappeared, Lu Ziye smiled and said, "The supplies collected in this operation are basically enough to meet normal consumption for about half a month."

However, during this resource collection process, we did not find any attachments to the core of the secret realm, so we have two options next.

The first option is that since we've already fulfilled the initial requirements for entering this secret realm—that is, collecting enough resources—we don't need to stay here any longer and can choose to leave directly.

The second option is to remain in this secret realm, search for the entity that holds the core of the realm, and then destroy the realm itself.

Although Lu Ziye offered two different options, after this resource collection operation, everyone realized that the monsters in this secret realm would not pose a serious threat to them.

Therefore, in everyone's hearts, there was already a preconceived notion that as long as some time was spent, the core attachment of this secret realm would surely be found.

That's why, after Lu Ziye gave him two options, Kou Hai immediately said, "Of course, we'll choose the second one: destroy this secret realm."

After hearing Kou Hai say this, Lu Ziye looked around at the expressions of the others and, finding that no one objected, then said, "Since we have chosen to destroy this secret realm, if we continue to search aimlessly like this, it will actually be very difficult to find the attachment to the core of the secret realm."

To get the contribution rewards more quickly, we can simply demolish the buildings in the secret realm by force. We've already taken all the valuable resources from most of them anyway.

Lu Ziye's suggestion was actually quite good, since finding the core attachment of a secret realm is not difficult compared to other secret realms.

Because this secret realm is an abandoned industrial park, no one knows where the core entity of this secret realm is located.

Therefore, instead of painstakingly searching, it would be better to directly and violently demolish those buildings.

After all, even if they find the core of the secret realm, they will only destroy it.

Among the entire convoy, only Dong Qi and Yin An possessed highly efficient demolition capabilities.

There's no need to say more about Dong Qi, after all, in the previous secret realm, he dismantled and took away all the metal in the entire secret realm.

Yin An's ability is due to his awakening of earth-type superpowers. Earth-type superpowers are the most suitable for civil engineers to awaken among all superpowers. With this superpower, both reconstruction and demolition are much easier.

However, it is clearly unlikely that Yin An alone could slowly destroy all the buildings in the entire industrial park.

Even on a sunny day, Ji Yunting's fire-based supernatural ability wouldn't be of much use against reinforced concrete buildings.

As for the demolition capabilities of others, there's no need to elaborate further.

Because if we want to carry out this plan, it is definitely not enough to rely on Yin An alone.

Then, seeing that everyone else remained silent, Dong Qi spoke up directly: "You all know that the rewards for destroying the secret realm are calculated based on the contribution made during the destruction process."

Therefore, now is not the time for you to keep your secrets to yourselves. The sooner you leave this hidden place, the better for us.

Even without Dong Qi saying it, not only the awakened ones present, but also the ordinary people in the convoy actually had a lot of weapons and ammunition on their vehicles.

After all, nobody is stupid at this time. Having food alone is not enough to survive safely. Only by having military force can one guarantee their own safety.

"Shall we just start bombing?"

"Do whatever you want. Anyway, the rewards given when the secret realm is destroyed are based on the principle of 'the more you do, the more you get.'"

When everyone heard that Lu Ziye did not forcefully reveal the number of buildings to be destroyed, but instead wanted to destroy even more buildings, they were even more surprised.

After all, no one is stupid. Even if those explosives are powerful, they are just external objects. But the primal energy obtained from destroying the secret realm can truly strengthen oneself in all aspects. Therefore, anyone who is not stupid should know how to choose.

Seeing that everyone else had made up their minds, Dong Qi suddenly asked, "Have you found the source of those invisible attacks within the buildings?"

Upon hearing Dong Qi's question, everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had found nothing.

Seeing this, Xu Yinuo said directly, "Since we're going to destroy all the buildings anyway, what's inside doesn't matter to us."

After hearing what Xu Yinuo said, everyone thought about it for a moment and agreed that Xu Yinuo was right.

The people present were not the kind of researchers who liked to get to the bottom of things, so even if they didn't figure out the specifics of that invisible attack, they weren't particularly concerned.

This violent forced demolition could not have been accomplished by these awakened individuals alone, but the speed of its completion was certainly slow.

In order to leave this secret place as soon as possible, Lu Ziye directly summoned those in the convoy who had stockpiled explosives to act together.

When ordinary people who possessed explosives heard that they could also participate in the operation and thus share more of the primordial energy, not one of them wanted to keep the explosives.

In fact, they were well aware that although explosives were very powerful, their limitations restricted the scenarios in which they could be used.

Therefore, only in suitable scenarios like the one we are in now can those explosives be used to their fullest potential.

After Lu Ziye determined the number of applicants and the amount of explosives reported, he began to arrange for personnel to go out on missions.

Since there's no need to explore deep inside the building this time, and the monsters hidden in the floodwaters won't attack during the heavy rain outside.

Therefore, after learning about the operation, everyone began to act according to the areas assigned by Lu Ziye.

Lu Ziye forcibly designated each person's explosion zone for two reasons: first, to prevent the waste of explosives and thus avoid repeated explosions.

Another idea is to start from their current warehouse and gradually expand outwards.

After all, even now, Lu Ziye cannot guarantee that all the explosives stored in the convoy combined would be enough to destroy all the buildings in this secret realm.

Perhaps because there were too many people who signed up to participate, Yin An did not go out alone to destroy those buildings.

Instead, they carried out a cleanup operation, burying all the buildings destroyed by the explosives directly underground.

Even if the core of the secret realm is attached to something and escapes the attack of explosives, it will be crushed by the heavy earth after the collapsed building sinks into the ground.

With Yin An in charge of cleaning up, whenever a building collapsed, he could always make the wreckage sink underground, and then a perfectly flat square would appear where those buildings had once stood.

As the rumbling sounds continued, the buildings surrounding the warehouse where the convoy was located gradually disappeared.

As one building after another turned into ruins, Yin An immediately began burying the remains deep underground.

Seeing how proactively others were contributing explosives, Dong Qi abandoned his idea of ​​getting involved.

Bored, he stayed in the warehouse, watching the ordinary people in the convoy hand over supplies and exchange supplies within the convoy.

No matter how much supplies are collected this time, only ten kilograms of food per person are required.

There are no restrictions on the types of food in these ten kilograms, since these awakened individuals would not embezzle the supplies they hand over.

These foods are intended as relief food for ordinary people like them, to be distributed in the next situation similar to the one we are in now.

This is very simple: whatever supplies are handed over will be the same supplies that will be distributed later.

Therefore, the vast majority of the supplies handed over by people were mainly grains and cereals, which were relatively heavy and had a long shelf life.

Dong Qi never expected that, out of boredom, he would find something good after enthusiastically participating in the team's exchange market set up by ordinary people.

It wasn't food or any valuable supplies, but rather a collection of information carried by a military enthusiast.

This collection of data doesn't contain any special information; it's mainly a list of data on various firearms, land vehicles, and sea vessels.

These data not only contain the specific dimensions and specifications of all parts, but also indicate the material requirements standards.

Simply put, once you have this information, as long as you have the corresponding manufacturing ability, you can directly replicate any item in the information.
