Mobile Shelter

Chapter 113 Masako Suzuki

Surrounded by layers of guards, Masako Suzuki remained as pristine as moonlight, even amidst the disheveled ranks of survivors.

She stood out from the bloody chaos around her, seemingly aware of everyone's gaze. She slowly raised her eyes, her cold gaze sweeping over the mess and the bitter faces of the awakened ones, without the slightest panic or fear.

Before anyone could speak again, she lightly raised her hand, signaling the guards beside her to step back. With graceful steps, she walked directly in the direction Dong Qi had left. "Miss Yako!" the person who had made the suggestion earlier hurriedly called out, his voice filled with apprehension. "That man is ruthless and decisive; please be extremely careful."

Masako Suzuki naturally understood everyone's thoughts and was also aware of their current predicament.

She did not refuse; her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a resolute look flashed in her cool eyes. Then she nodded slightly, which was considered as her acceptance of the entrustment.

She raised her hand and gently straightened the slightly disheveled collar of her witch's robes. Her steps were steady and gentle as she walked step by step in the direction where Dong Qi's chariot had left. Without any guards following her, she stepped into the open area alone, her slender figure revealing a tenacious spirit.

She walked very slowly, not daring to move too fast and arouse Dong Qi's suspicion, nor lingering too long and missing her chance to survive. She took each step with great care.

The sea breeze lifted the hem of her white dress and brushed the strands of hair behind her ear. Her exquisite face showed no trace of flattery, only composure and sincerity in the face of adversity, which was in stark contrast to Sasaki's previous arrogance.

Dong Qi was maneuvering his special vehicle to plunder the third shipyard. All kinds of steel and mechanical parts that entered the absorption range disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Dong Qi noticed someone approaching and looked up in the direction where the survivors were.

The figure dressed in white witch's clothes approached gradually, her steps were slow and gentle, and there was no murderous aura about her. Instead, she exuded a peaceful aura.

Unlike Sasaki's arrogance, this woman carried no weapons and did not show any menacing expression. She approached the car alone, step by step, clearly there to negotiate.

Dong Qi narrowed his eyes, temporarily pausing his absorption. He didn't act immediately, not because he was soft-hearted, but because he wanted to see what tricks these island nation people were up to.

He wanted to see what kind of tricks this seemingly frail witch could pull off.

Before long, she walked to a spot several dozen meters behind her car, stopped, and bowed slightly in a respectful but not servile manner.

Speaking in soft, gentle Mandarin with a sweet accent, his voice clear and melodious, just loud enough to reach the car: "Sir, excuse me for disturbing you. We are survivors of the Fourth Island, trapped here for many days. Mutant monsters roam the seaweed thickets, causing heavy casualties. We have nowhere else to go."

She paused, then looked up at the closed car window, her gaze sincere, tinged with a humble hope: "We saw that your car can clear the way and sweep away dangers..."

We humbly request that you have the mercy to allow us to ride in your car or follow you out of this dangerous place.

We would never dare to interfere with your work, sir, nor would we ask for any supplies. We only ask for a way to survive, and we will always remember your kindness.

After speaking, she stood quietly with her hands at her sides, saying nothing more, simply waiting for a response from inside the car. She did not release any supernatural aura, adopting a completely submissive posture, keeping herself extremely humble, just to give the hundred or so survivors behind her a glimmer of hope.

When Dong Qi heard that the other party was asking questions in Chinese, he couldn't help but feel curious as to how the other party knew that he was from Great Xia and not from an island nation.

Perhaps noticing Dong Qi's puzzled expression, Suzuki Masako explained directly without waiting for Dong Qi to ask, "I was given by the gods the ability to communicate with all things."

So no matter what nationality you are, I can not only understand what you are saying, but also communicate with you without any problems.

Upon hearing Masako Suzuki's explanation, Dong Qi instantly understood that the superpower she must have awakened was something similar to translation.

This ability would have been considered quite rare in the 1960s and 70s.

However, even now, due to the impact of EMP, smart translation devices are unusable.

However, with the increasing frequency of exchanges between countries, the three main languages ​​on Earth are now Chinese, English, and Russian.

Most people who need to use foreign languages ​​frequently are proficient in at least one of the three major languages ​​in addition to their native language.

Therefore, if the other party's awakened superpower can only communicate with strangers without any obstacles, frankly speaking, although it is somewhat useful, it is not very useful.

But if the other party can not only communicate with strangers without barriers, but also with other non-humans without barriers, then the use of her superpower is actually not very useful if it is for a single person or a small team.

However, if placed within those large forces, the practicality of this ability is not much less than that of some elemental abilities.

When Suzuki Masako saw Dong Qi remain silent after hearing about the effects of her superpower, although she maintained a calm expression on her face, she couldn't help but feel uneasy inside.

Although the shrine maiden outfit she wore completely concealed Masako Suzuki's figure, unless Masako Suzuki has the legendary angelic face and hideous body, one might still be able to tell the difference.

Otherwise, logically speaking, someone with such a beautiful face would probably have a great figure as well.

Thinking of this, Dong Qi suddenly remembered his original purpose for coming here and couldn't help but say, "After I have collected enough materials here, I will leave here and head to the First Island."

You can get on the bus when the time comes. Others who want to leave with me cannot get on the bus; they can only follow behind it.

I'll use an electromagnetic cannon to clear the way. As long as they can keep up, they shouldn't encounter any major danger.

Upon hearing Dong Qi's words, Suzuki Masako immediately understood the implication behind them, and a blush involuntarily appeared on her face.

He then bowed to Dong Qi and quickly returned.

Upon returning, amidst the expectant gazes of everyone, he recounted the slightly embellished version of their conversation.

Although the conversation between the two had been embellished and polished by Masako Suzuki during her narration.

But none of them were fools; they understood the meaning behind Dong Qi's words.

Although some people were indignant after hearing this, they ultimately held back and did not accuse Dong Qi of taking advantage of the situation.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Masako Suzuki was also filled with mixed emotions, unsure how to face her companions who had always protected her.
