Mobile Shelter

It's important to know that a total of ten ships were deployed for this rescue mission, even disregarding the value of the ships.

The vast majority of the personnel who carried out the mission were veterans with experience in naval warfare. A single ship had a crew of anywhere from three to five thousand to eight or nine thousand, approaching ten thousand.

Even if we don't mention total loss, more than half of the casualties would still be a major loss.

Not to mention that due to the emergence of EMP, at this time, not only the ships of Great Xia, but also most ships of other countries around the world have been paralyzed and cannot be used.

Therefore, even losing only two or three ships would be a significant loss for the Great Xia Dynasty at present.

Furthermore, according to the intelligence reported by the captain of the Winter, if it is verified, then unless the other ships did not encounter the same situation, the possibility of their complete annihilation is very high.

Even with the captain of the Wintership, only a few people managed to escape safely; the rest of the crew and the ship were completely lost.

It's no wonder that others wouldn't be happy about such a significant loss.

Many more days passed. Based on the speed of the ships that were sent out to carry out the mission, it would have been enough for two round trips, let alone just to provide support en route or to go directly to the other country.

Just when everyone thought that all the ships and crew members on the mission had been killed or lost, they suddenly received a report from the coastal areas of Qidong.

It is said that crew members from the Wintership have appeared there. Although there are only a dozen or so people, it is enough to verify the authenticity of the information reported by the captain of the Wintership.

At this point, everyone present disregarded everything else and immediately requested that the local government take the people over and then use the government's communication devices to contact them directly.

In addition to verifying the authenticity of the information reported by the captain of the Winter, they also wanted to know how those people escaped from the Winter.

Is this escape method universally applicable? If it is not complicated, do the crew members on other ships also have a chance of returning safely?

Although Dong Qi and his team were not interrogated separately due to the need for secrecy in their mission, they did not choose to be isolated during this direct communication with the higher-ups of Da Xia.

Instead, they turned on the speakerphone button on the communicator, and everyone present, including high-ranking government officials from Qidong, answered the call together.

Lin Dong was undoubtedly the first to give a report. After Lin Dong finished reporting on their experience of drifting at sea,

Everyone's attention turned to Dong Qi without prior arrangement.

According to Lin Dong's account, if Dong Qi's natal vehicle hadn't been able to isolate the human presence inside, they wouldn't have been able to successfully pass through the layers of blockade by those mutated marine creatures and return safely to the ground.

Moreover, according to Lin Dong's account, Dong Qi's natal vehicle can not only travel on water, but also has strong defensive capabilities.

Although most of the people present had come into contact with Awakened Ones and had personally witnessed many Awakened Ones unleashing their awakened superpowers.

However, at this moment, it was learned that awakened individuals could play a decisive role in saving lives when facing special circumstances.

Everyone present, including the logistics personnel on the Wintership who shared the same identity as Shao Kai, knew that the research institute was currently developing a special drug that could awaken superpowers in ordinary people.

After learning about Dong Qi and the others' experience, everyone present had never wanted to become an Awakened One and yearned to awaken their superpowers as much as they did now.

After all, as long as one can awaken superpowers, one will have the ability to protect oneself when facing dire situations in the future.

However, upon hearing that the marine creatures used human bodies as ovaries for incubation, the way the people on site looked at Dong Qi and his group gradually became strange.

However, because the captain's assistant had reported in detail his findings after dissecting the survivors, it was only necessary to use X-rays to confirm whether Dong Qi and the others were physically normal, and thus determine whether they had been parasitized by those mutated marine creatures.

In addition, a large number of guards were stationed outside the door, so although the Qidong executives inside looked at Dong Qi and his group with strange eyes, they did not immediately turn hostile.

Although the emergence of EMP has rendered most medical equipment in hospitals unusable, some awakened individuals have also awakened restorative abilities.

Although the number of awakened individuals with this type of restorative ability is not large, under the arrangement of the imperial court, these awakened individuals will take turns going to various cities to repair some key instruments and equipment.

While we can no longer guarantee that every hospital in the city will be equipped with all kinds of medical equipment as before, we can at least ensure that at least one hospital in each city has all its medical equipment in working order.

Or perhaps it was because Dong Qi reacted quickly that, after repeated and careful examinations, it was finally determined that these people had not been parasitized by the mutated marine organisms.

Although some awakened individuals have developed repair abilities related to equipment, the vast majority of equipment across the country was paralyzed due to the damage caused by the EMP, and since these awakened individuals were also newly awakened, their ability to repair equipment using their abilities was relatively slow.

Therefore, at this time, the number of aircraft in the Great Xia that could still be used normally after repair was only a handful.

Even though Dong Qi and his team passed the examinations conducted by the hospital's equipment, the imperial court still required them to go to Kyoto to give a detailed report on the course of their mission.

Since there were no planes available, the imperial court required them to drive there themselves.

Fortunately, this time when they went to Kyoto, they were not required to squeeze into Dong Qi's car again. Instead, a long-distance bus was generously arranged for them.

Because of the special circumstances at the time, as long as they traveled north along the coast, they would find that all the coastal areas had troops stationed there to defend against the invasion of coastal creatures, and there was no shortage of supply points along the way.

Heading north along the coast, they could also pass by the port city where they started their journey, where they could take care of some personal matters.

The court gave them a very generous timeframe this time, so they had time to handle their personal matters along the way.

Originally, the people in Qidong, upon discovering that Dong Qi's car had been adrift at sea for so long, kindly wanted to help dismantle it and inspect the damage inside.

However, after learning that the vehicle's internal structure had actually been enhanced multiple times by Dong Qi's awakened superpowers to enable its amphibious capabilities, he immediately lost interest in it.

After all, amphibious assault vehicles are not uncommon in the navy; they have become standard equipment for landing forces.

That's why, after hearing that Dong Qi refused their offer to help with the inspection and only asked for help with refueling and charging, they didn't bother with him after telling him the location of the gas station.
