Mobile Shelter

The combatants along the coast originally used melee weapons to fight the mutated marine creatures in close combat.

As the vehicle gradually moved north, Dong Qi saw an increasing number of combatants and firearms along the coast.

At this moment, Dong Qi didn't know whether this situation was due to the increasing danger of fighting the mutated marine creatures, or because the military had repaired the ammunition supply chain and could provide ample ammunition to the front lines in large quantities.

If it's the second scenario, that's good. It means that in the battles along the coast, the Great Xia side is gradually gaining an advantage, and there's even a faint possibility of a counterattack.

However, this idea only flashed through his mind and did not linger for long, because even Dong Qi, an ordinary person, knew how difficult it was to build a complete ammunition production supply chain in this modern era where knowledge could be easily acquired.

Even in peacetime, there are very few countries on the entire planet that truly possess a complete ammunition production supply chain, let alone now, when it has been disrupted by EMP.

Therefore, Dong Qi vaguely knew that the fact that most of the combatants were using firearms was probably due to the increasing pressure from the attack of the mutated marine creatures.

The old-fashioned cold weapons could no longer easily end the battle as before, so they had no choice but to choose firearms to fight.

Thinking of this, Dong Qi subconsciously glanced at a box in the back of the car. Inside the box were three fully automatic rifles, several pistols, and a small amount of ammunition.

These firearms were the ones that everyone carried when they abandoned ship and fled.

When they finally made it back to land, everyone else seemed to have lost their memory and unanimously refused to ask Dong Qi for the guns and ammunition they had left in the car.

Although the weapons they left behind were of little use to Dong Qi, he was still somewhat grateful for their actions.

After all, if Dong Qi were just an ordinary person, the guns and bullets they left behind would have provided him with a strong ability to protect himself.

Dong Qi thought their journey north would go smoothly, but no one expected that an accident would occur just as they were about to enter Tianjin and arrive in Kyoto.

No one expected that the previously calm sea would suddenly be engulfed by a tsunami tens of meters high. Before the personnel stationed along the coast could react, the giant wave instantly submerged the entire coastline.

Countless mutated marine creatures followed the waves, instantly breaching the defenses formed by humans along the coast.

Although Dong Qi and his group were traveling north along the coastline, they were actually quite a distance from the coastal battlefield.

Even so, the spray from the waves that crashed onto land with the giant waves still managed to wet their vehicle's tires.

The personnel stationed along the coast were nearly drowned by the crashing waves, and before they could even react, they were attacked by countless mutated marine creatures.

Unlike before, when they only had to face attacks from mutated marine creatures on one side, this time, with the appearance of giant waves, the mutated marine creatures that had been swept ashore by the seawater appeared directly around the stationed personnel.

Even more seriously, because the cold weapons they originally used were replaced with firearms, the firearms in the hands of some personnel malfunctioned and became unusable due to the impact of the seawater.

This pushed those who were already in crisis into an even more desperate situation.

Upon seeing the people along the riverbank in such a dangerous situation, Dong Qi and his team did not immediately get out of the car to help; instead, they stepped on the gas and sped away.

The reason why Dong Qi and his men made this choice was not because they were cowardly and afraid of trouble, but because they were very smart and would not choose to make a foolish and pointless sacrifice.

It should be noted that the number of combatants they could see along the coast at this time far exceeded several thousand, and these thousands of people were no longer armed with cold weapons as before, but each had a gun.

Those people were already fully armed but were still in dire straits. How could Dong Qi and his dozen or so men go to help them unarmed?

It should be noted that apart from the few items in Dong Qi's car, Shao Kai and his group did not carry any weapons on their bus.

Their trip to Kyoto was to report on their mission, not to participate in combat, so naturally they wouldn't be carrying any firearms.

After all, Kyoto is the central hub of the Great Xia Dynasty, and its security is not something that Dong Qi and his dozen or so insignificant figures need to worry about.

That's why if they stop their cars and go over there, they're not helping; they're just fools going to their deaths.

Their most important task now is to immediately go to the nearby command post, report what they are seeing, and have the command post arrange for personnel to come and provide support.

It was thought that the attack intensity of those mutated marine creatures would gradually increase, but no one expected that with the appearance of the tsunami, the originally relatively stable coastal battlefield would collapse instantly.

If it weren't for the mutated marine life, the already frequent battles meant that all the personnel on duty were divided into four groups to take turns on duty. If they hadn't set out with the tsunami, perhaps all those responsible for guarding the coastline would have been wiped out, instead of only losing a quarter of them as they have now.

Even this quarter of the population is not a small number.

It should be noted that due to the frequent attacks by mutated marine creatures, and the fact that it has now been discovered and verified that the bodies of some mutated marine creatures are edible.

This led many young adults to sign up for the fight in order to fill their stomachs.

Perhaps because those mutated marine creatures were not strong in individual combat, even when some middle-aged people signed up later, some private organizations accepted them all without rejection in order to stabilize the defense.

Therefore, although the coastal front appeared very stable at this time, it was also a gathering place for most of the young and middle-aged people from coastal cities and nearby cities.

The occurrence of this massive tsunami directly killed the vast majority of people guarding the coastal areas. Of all the coastal defenses of the Great Xia Dynasty, only a few hundred survivors were able to escape.

It is important to know that at this time, the number of people involved in the defense along the coast was close to ten million with records, and the number of those without records was countless.

Perhaps due to the prolonged period of calm fighting, the participants gradually lowered their guard, resulting in a sudden and devastating attack by the mutated marine creatures.
