Mobile Shelter

After the two unloaded ten supply boxes from the car, perhaps because he had just heard Lao Wang's instructions and was in a bit of a daze, Shao Kai did not try to stop Dong Qi when he heard that Dong Qi was about to leave. He stayed alone in the villa and took the opportunity to calm down.

After leaving Shao Kai's villa, Dong Qi had a map of Kyoto given to him by Shao Kai, but in this day and age, who still looks at paper maps?

Fortunately, under Shao Kai's guidance, Dong Qi also knew his current location and the area where the furniture market was located.

However, it's unclear whether the furniture market is still operating normally during this special period.

And most importantly, if the business operates normally, will the money Shao Kai gave us still be usable?

When Dong Qi arrived at the furniture city, he realized that Kyoto, as the capital of Great Xia, was not greatly affected by the EMP attack and the successive defeats in the coastal battle.

And just as Shao Kai said, cash is still usable here, and prices have even dropped considerably.

At least at this time, the prices of various goods in the furniture market were not much different from those of similar items in the furniture market in Pengcheng.

After adding some simple furniture to the carriage and creating a separate rest area in the back carriage with a simple partition, Dong Qi went to the clothing wholesale market to buy some clothes for all four seasons.

While Dong Qi was buying supplies in Kyoto, the battle between humans and mutated marine creatures in the coastal areas was beginning to show signs of defeat.

Faced with each mutated marine creature launched by the giant waves, the Great Xia's ammunition consumption increased dramatically.

The ammunition stockpile, which was theoretically sufficient to last for about two or three years, was depleted by one-tenth in just a few days.

Meanwhile, although the bullet production line had gradually begun to resume production, its capacity was far from keeping up with the rate of consumption.

Faced with this situation, the defensive forces of the Great Xia could only retreat step by step, using a wider combat area to reduce the offensive pressure brought by those mutated marine creatures.

As the Great Xia relinquished its coastal area, the suddenly sprouting aquatic plants gradually spread and covered the entire region.

If you look down from the air, you can see that the coastal area has now been submerged in a green ocean.

Before ten days had passed, Dong Qi heard air raid sirens blaring in the city of Kyoto.

Keep in mind that this is Kyoto. After entering this special period, the strongest fighting force from all over the world, except for some who went to support the coastal areas, has gathered here.

Furthermore, this place is quite a distance from the coastline, and Dong Qi never imagined that he would hear a danger alarm here.

When Dong Qi arrived at Shao Kai's villa amidst the sirens, he found the villa gate tightly shut.

However, Dong Qi found a message left by Shao Kai on the gate of Shao Kai's villa.

Heeding Uncle Wang's advice, he had already made arrangements in the past few days. Because it was urgent, he should already be on the train to the Northwest. He hoped that Dong Qi would have the opportunity to visit him in the Northwest.

Upon seeing this message, Dong Qi never expected that the other party would choose to leave so decisively.

Perhaps if they weren't in Kyoto at the time and their shortwave walkie-talkies weren't malfunctioning, Shao Kai would have at least given them advance notice before leaving.

Knowing that Shao Kai had already left, Dong Qi became somewhat confused about his next plans.

Logically speaking, Dong Qi and his group should have returned to the northern base to report in a few days. After all, they were only given ten days of free time when they left, and it was unknown whether there would be any other arrangements for them.

Based on the reception they received last time, Dong Qi felt that the base there did not value them at all. Even if they returned to report after ten days, there probably wouldn't be any proper arrangements.

At most, they would just return to their original units, and as for Dong Qi, the only outsider, there's no need to say more about his arrangements.

Perhaps because of Dong Qi's status as an Awakened One and the situation of his destined car, he might be given a position in the logistics and transportation department.

This situation, which would be a good arrangement for an ordinary person, would actually hinder Dong Qi's future growth.

Therefore, Dong Qi immediately made a decision: since Shao Kai had already left, it seemed that he didn't need to care too much about what was happening at the base.

Now that your vehicle has successfully advanced, the next step is to continue collecting enhancement materials to further improve its core level.

That is why Dong Qi needs to make another choice.

First, continue north. As we all know, the three northeastern provinces are the heavy industrial base of the Great Xia Dynasty. We can definitely get metal materials there to meet the needs of vehicle upgrades, or even continuous upgrades.

However, compared to the Gray Snow period, this time is not like that. Everyone is hiding in shelters. If Dong Qi were to collect various metal materials indiscriminately, he would definitely be discovered by others.

The second option is to head directly east, across the ocean, and directly to the island nation.

At this time, the coastal areas of Daxia had already begun to fall, and the situation must have been even more difficult for resource-poor island nations.

Moreover, having experienced the previous rescue mission firsthand, Dong Qi was well aware of the terrifying extent to which the mutations of marine life had reached.

Therefore, Dong Qi was certain that even the survivors in the island nation still had organized armed forces, but because they could not obtain resource supplies, those survivors could only retreat to a few isolated areas.

If Dong Qi were to go there now, he would probably be able to collect all kinds of equipment and materials without any scruples, just like during the Gray Snow period.

If Dong Qi had felt a little guilty about the large amount of equipment and materials that Pengcheng Enterprise had taken, then...

Even if one acts recklessly in the island nation, one will remain unmoved, for it is merely an application of their own methods.

However, if you go to an island nation, you may encounter some dangers while crossing the sea, and you also need to pay special attention to the consumption of supplies during the round trip.

Although theoretically, one should be able to obtain some supplies upon arriving in the island nation, since the actual situation there is unknown, it is best to prepare all supplies before heading there.

More importantly, having learned from his previous experience crossing the sea, Dong Qi will definitely need to take care of his bladder before going. He can't just resort to the same crude method of relieving himself outside the vehicle as last time.
