Mobile Shelter

Based on the available information, the zombies roaming the city are likely the most traditional zombies depicted in movies and TV shows.

Judging from their slow pace of movement, it's easy to guess that the biggest threat these zombies pose to them is probably their sheer number and unparalleled infectivity.

But let's not forget another thing: the zombie virus can actually be considered a failed body enhancement agent.

If the infected person has exceptionally strong physical abilities, after being infected with the zombie virus, they will not only not become mindless zombies, but may even gain special abilities like the awakened ones.

However, the chances of this happening are extremely slim, so it is not recommended to try it proactively.

Just when Dong Qi thought that there were only zombies wandering the streets in the city, several drones were suddenly attacked one after another.

As the videos on the screen gradually went out, it goes without saying that in this city, besides the ordinary zombies roaming the streets, there should be many mutants hiding in the shadows.

After learning the general situation in the city, Dong Qi then notified the others in the convoy of the intelligence gathered by the drone.

As ordinary people in the convoy acquire more and more primal energy, many of them who frequently volunteer for combat, in terms of physical fitness alone, should already far surpass those elite soldiers in the military during peacetime.

Therefore, after determining that those people no longer needed the protection of the Awakened Ones when they entered the secret realm or the city, when the Wind Chaser team held another pre-battle meeting, the participants were not only the Awakened Ones with superpowers, but all the participants.

Of course, even if ordinary people could enter the combat channel, become official members of the convoy, and gather relevant intelligence, they would not have the right to speak on the radio.

"The creatures roaming the city are similar to the zombies in our traditional impression. They move slowly, but have very sensitive hearing, poor eyesight, and their sense of smell cannot be tested for the time being."

If nothing unexpected happens, the greatest threat to us from the zombies in the city will likely be the highly contagious virus and their countless numbers.

In addition, during this intelligence gathering process, my drone also suffered several unknown attacks.

Therefore, there is no doubt that there are evolved beings in this city that are stronger than ordinary zombies. Compared to those slow-moving ordinary zombies, these evolved beings will pose a greater threat to our upcoming actions.

After Dong Qi finished recounting the intelligence gathered by the drone, Yin An added, "Dong Qi is right. Based on my perception, most of the zombies in the city move very slowly, but a small number of them have relatively high movement speeds."

After hearing Yin An's additional information, everyone understood exactly where the danger in the city lay.

Having finally recovered his complexion, Ji Yunting suddenly asked, "Is there a lot of supplies in this city? If there aren't many supplies left in this city, then we don't really need to enter the city to collect them."

After all, if the city doesn't have much supplies, we can simply bypass it and continue to the next area following the map, just like we did before.

Ji Yunting's suggestion was not wrong. It wasn't like they had ignored it before. As for the secret city, if they felt that the exploration was too dangerous, they could simply give up and bypass the secret city and continue their journey that they had stopped before.

However, Ji Yunting's proposal was met with opposition not only from the other official members of the team, but also from the ordinary people who frequently participated in battles.

The reason is actually very simple. Whether it is Ji Yunting or the other official members of the team, even though they drive heavy truck campervans, the interiors have all been modified by mechanics and expanded by space-type ability users.

Therefore, although the vehicles driven by the official members of the convoy may appear to be the same model as those driven by ordinary members, the interior conditions are vastly different.

Therefore, the interior space of the vehicle, after being expanded by those with spatial abilities, will inevitably have a larger storage space.

With more storage space, you can gather more supplies when collecting them.

Compared to other ordinary vehicles, although the Wind Chaser team has been relatively lucky these past few times, each time their food supplies dropped to the warning zone, the team always managed to encounter new secret realms or cities when facing dire situations.

Therefore, even though the convoy's vehicles are always packed full of supplies after each collection operation, don't be fooled by the fact that they are always full of supplies.

After a few successful searches, instead of prioritizing staple foods like rice, noodles, and cooking oil which are very filling, some people sacrificed storage space and instead carried some tasty but bulky puffed foods.

Therefore, many people on the road did not have much supplies left in their vehicles, making them the group most likely to enter the city to scavenge for supplies.

However, the opinions of these people were not of much concern to the awakened ones in the convoy.

"Dong Qi, do you think this city is rich in resources?"

Upon hearing Kou Hai's question, Dong Qi initially didn't want to answer or give a wrong answer, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke quietly:

"I don't know the exact amount of supplies left in the city, but judging from the situation of the shops along the street, this city should not have been visited by other convoys."

Upon hearing Dong Qi's answer, Kou Hai immediately said without hesitation, "Since we're already here, why don't we go in and see what's going on inside?"

Poor scholars, rich warriors; poor scholars, rich warriors.

Kou Hai volunteered to enter the city to scavenge for supplies, and the reason was actually very simple, not complicated, and not dramatic.

That is, Kou Hai, who has awakened a special ability related to body enhancement, needs to maintain a full stomach at all times. Otherwise, if his stomach is hungry for a long time, it will easily weaken the enhanced awakened ability.

Therefore, although Kou Hai doesn't usually show much, whenever he collects supplies, he always uses various excuses to improve the food of others, tasting all kinds of flavorful seasonings or snacks. Kou Hai always exchanges for the most filling staple foods.

Therefore, although Kou Hai's vehicle was expanded by a space-type ability user, although he stored a lot of supplies, the consumption rate was also fast.

Therefore, when she heard that Ji Yunting wanted to bypass the city, she had no choice but to directly refute him.

Besides Ji Yunting, the other official members also wanted to enter the city to scavenge for supplies.

After all, at this time of year, whenever they encounter an area where they can obtain a large amount of supplies, they will plunder it without hesitation.

Having food on hand and not using it is different from having no food available.

Dong Qi also wanted to enter the city, but his purpose was not to collect supplies, but to kill the zombies in the city.

After all, if nothing unexpected happens, this city should be a secret realm. As long as the core of this secret realm is destroyed, the value of the primordial energy in Dong Qi's version should be able to reach millions.

At this point, the vehicle's frame level is sufficient. Next, as long as Dong Qi accumulates enough 1 million units of Origin Energy, he can exchange for the core items needed to upgrade his vehicle again.

Before we know when we'll encounter the secret realm again, or even how strong it will be, it's better to try and destroy this one.

After all, in most zombie movies, zombies are still carbon-based life forms and are not immortal.

Therefore, although the main characters in movies and TV shows face perilous situations when confronting zombies, in reality, as long as one acts carefully and cautiously, dealing with zombies is not particularly difficult.

However, when facing a dense horde of zombies, it is quite easy to avoid them given the slow movement speed of ordinary zombies.

Therefore, now that such an easy opportunity has been presented to him, Dong Qi would be wasting this golden chance if he didn't take a bite.

Seeing that the other official members all chose to enter the city to collect supplies, Lu Ziye did not agree with Ji Yunting's suggestion.

Instead, they directly set the next steps. There was no problem entering the city to collect supplies, but just in case, all members of the convoy who entered the city should stay in the city for the time being, unless the secret realm is destroyed.

The main reason for issuing this somewhat inhumane order was the fear that the convoy members who left the city early might be carrying a highly contagious zombie virus.

Fortunately, after a detailed investigation by Dong Qi's drone, it was found that various things were still preserved in the shops along the streets of the city.

Therefore, the team members had no objection to spending a long time in the city.

After all, compared to the process of the caravan migrating, where every meal required careful calculation of the remaining rations, the caravan could freely eat the food they had just found while collecting supplies.

Anyway, as long as you eat what you want before submitting the registration, it won't appear on the record sheet.

Compared to the past when Lu Ziye had to assign personnel one by one, now many formal members have formed various small groups of varying sizes with themselves as the core.

Therefore, when entering the city to collect supplies this time, Lu Ziye no longer assigned groups, but directly told everyone to act freely.

Upon hearing this, Dong Qi didn't linger there waiting and drove straight into the city.

As soon as I entered the city, I saw several zombies wandering around and approaching.

Faced with these zombies, two mechanical guards wielding long swords suddenly appeared on either side of the vehicle.

While the four-armed swordsman's performance in previous battles wasn't particularly outstanding, when facing these zombies, he could seemingly effortlessly sever a zombie's head with each seemingly effortless stroke.

Under the protection of the four-armed swordsmen, the car was gradually entering the city center along the predetermined route.

However, before his car could even get close to the center, a series of whooshing sounds came from both sides of the street, as if they were trying to ambush Dong Qi.

Faced with this sudden attack, before Dong Qi could even react, the natal car, under the control of the intelligent hub, had already taken evasive action in advance.

Just as the car was about to be hit by a sneak attack, it suddenly accelerated and avoided the enemy's attack.

Not only that, the laser tower reappeared on the roof of the car, and then shot out a series of tiny laser beams.

Despite the extremely thin laser beams emitted by the laser tower, they melted the heads of those zombies with ease.

Therefore, the zombies that had been hiding in the corner were directly eliminated by the laser beams from the laser tower.

It wasn't until all the zombies were dead that Dong Qi finally realized what had happened.

At this point, the intelligent central hub's performance was actually close to the ability of a spirit to actively protect its master.

Previously, Dong Qi thought that among items of the same level, those from the technology side would be much more practical than those from the cultivation or magic side.

However, as the level of his natal vehicle continued to increase, Dong Qi was somewhat surprised to find that at higher levels, whether it was a technology-based or cultivation-based item, the only difference was the name, but the effects were not much different.

Dong Qi originally thought that the ancients didn't have big imaginations, which is why they couldn't come up with those highly practical things. But in reality, many items that are highly practical in the field of technology are just different names in the field of cultivation.

For example, the intelligent hub or powerful AI in the car is called a spirit in the cultivation world.

Or it could be called brain-computer interface technology for transmitting consciousness, which in the cultivation world is also known as sealing the soul into an object to become an object spirit.

There are many similar things, which will not be introduced one by one here.

As the car gradually penetrated deeper into the city center, the laser tower on its roof began to continuously shoot out short laser beams.

Through continuous attack testing, the intelligent control center has been able to calculate how long a laser beam should be used to directly eliminate a target zombie.

While the rest of the convoy had just entered the city and were still gathering supplies on the outskirts and casually hunting ordinary zombies,

Even before entering the city center, Dong Qi had already encountered evolved forms of zombies.

In various zombie movies and TV shows, besides ordinary zombies, the most common type of zombie is the Devourer, which can evolve by consuming its own kind.

These zombies, resembling Frankenstein's monsters or abominations, may not be particularly strong in combat, but they possess formidable defense and regenerative abilities.

Furthermore, when severely injured, it can quickly recover by devouring ordinary zombies around it.

The best way to deal with these zombies is not close-quarters combat, but to attack them directly with fire.

However, Dong Qi did not choose to use fire attacks, not because there were no Molotov cocktails or similar weapons in the farm warehouse, but simply because Dong Qi did not have a large stockpile of such special weapons.

Therefore, every time you use the electromagnetic cannon, the alloy metal projectile it fires is worth far more than all the weapons and ammunition on your vehicle.

However, because Dong Qi possesses the complete production process and manufacturing plan, despite the high cost of each use, he is ruthless in using the electromagnetic cannon when encountering the corresponding enemy.

The close-in weapon system (CIWS) that Dong Qi had been longing to install, despite its high rate of fire (over 3,000 rounds per minute), was something he wouldn't use often because he lacked the technology and materials to manufacture the ammunition himself.

Therefore, when facing the enormous Devourer, Dong Qi did not use the most efficient Molotov cocktail, but instead used the laser cannon to attack.

However, since the scattered laser beams do not cause any pain or discomfort to the target, in order to maintain respect for the target, the laser cannon attacks by directly using the laser beam.

As the laser beam pierced through the Devourer's body, the laser tower slightly adjusted its angle, and the laser beam, in the process, directly shredded the opponent into pieces.

After dealing with the Devourer, Dong Qi opened the data panel in his mind and found that he had only gained less than 100 points of Origin Energy from killing it.

Seeing that he had only obtained such a small amount of primordial energy, Dong Qi wondered when he would be able to obtain a powerful weapon with a large kill radius.

After all, before natural disasters, in any zombie game or movie, thousands of zombies of all kinds would appear during every big scene.

Therefore, if you want to get high rewards by killing zombies, you must have weapons of mass destruction.

Most of these technological weapons are consumables, so if Dong Qi wants to use them frequently, he can only choose weapons from the cultivation or magic side.

In any case, the Yongzhen Furnace on the vehicle can supply most types of energy, so Dong Qi doesn't need to painfully give up the weapons he has chosen because of compatibility issues.
