Mobile Shelter

Chapter 126 is about to advance.

At this moment, Aoki Kotoko, who was the strategist of this small team, was not present. So Oda Taka turned his head and glanced at Kobe Mako. In this situation, only her ice-type ability could control the situation on a large scale.

Perhaps because of the reputation of the cult, Mako Kobe did not answer, but simply waved her hand, and instantly ice walls appeared around them.

With the ice wall acting as a barrier, those mutated marine creatures, whose eyes had turned red, were temporarily unable to get close to them.

Seeing this, just as Kurokawa Kumaji was about to say something, the shadows on the ground behind the surviving members of the God's Guard suddenly transformed into a pitch-black spike.

Before they could react, the dark spikes pierced their bodies with lightning speed.

Perhaps because their physical abilities were greatly enhanced after awakening, Kurokawa Kumaji and the others did not die immediately even though they were pierced in the heart by spikes.

Blood kept flowing from Kurokawa Kumaji's mouth. He opened his mouth and murmured as if he wanted to say something, but perhaps because the blood was blocking his throat, he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Seeing this, Oda Taka looked at the shadow hidden behind him with a puzzled expression, wondering why he had suddenly made a move.

Before Oda Taka could even ask, Kage explained, "You probably haven't met Kurokawa Kumaji before, so you don't know his personality."

This guy has a terrible personality and is extremely petty.

Even though we saved his life, we also saw his pathetic side.

Don't be fooled by his current gratitude; once he's safe, he'll definitely try to kill us. That way, he can both repay our life-saving kindness and prevent more people from finding out about his humiliating past.

That's why I chose to take direct action to prevent him from retaliating against us later.

Besides, our goal this time is to steal that man's car.

That person was a criminal wanted by the Shinto Church, and as Kurokawa Kumaji just said, they had already trapped him.

Do you think Kurokawa Kumaji would be willing to give us that car if we asked him for it back at this point?

So many of us came here just to ask for that car. Anyone who isn't an idiot can probably guess that the car must be something special.

So no matter what happens next, unless we're willing to give up that car, we'll eventually have a conflict with Kurokawa Kumaji and his group.

Rather than risk being ambushed by him later, it's better to strike first while they're off guard.

After we kill these cult members, we can do whatever we want with them.

After hearing Ying's explanation, everyone looked at each other, seemingly acknowledging it, and stopped mentioning Ying's unauthorized actions.

Then everyone turned their attention to the mutated marine creatures that were constantly crashing into the ice wall.

Seeing the mutated marine creatures gradually becoming somewhat frenzied, everyone realized that these creatures, isolated by the ice wall, were in a different state than usual.

That is why Mako Kobe did not immediately remove the ice wall, but instead used it to temporarily block it.

Just as those awakened islanders were still hesitating, with the death of Watanabe Kotaro, the giant seaweed leaf that had been binding the car began to wither rapidly.

When Dong Qi noticed this situation through the car window, his car was already on all four wheels and was no longer being lifted into the air.

Seeing those mutated marine creatures with their eyes already red, heading straight in a certain direction, a huge ice wall appeared there not long after.

Dong Qi knew that something unexpected must have happened in the battle over there. After glancing at the data panel, he found that the stored energy value had increased by another thousand. Dong Qi knew that there must have been another killing over there.

In fact, if we're only talking about short-range situations, the data display can also be used as an early warning device.

After all, if death occurs in the surrounding area, the energy value on the data panel will change in most cases.

Even without a field of vision, one can get a general idea of ​​the casualties on the surrounding battlefield simply by looking at the changes in the data display.

However, Dong Qi didn't want to get involved unnecessarily. Since his vehicle had regained its mobility, Dong Qi decided not to stay there any longer and drove away from the battlefield in a different direction.

Perhaps due to previous exertion, Masako Suzuki was still lying diagonally in the passenger seat and had not woken up.

It wasn't until Dong Qi followed the coastal area and found a new dock that Suzuki Masako groggily opened her beautiful eyes.

Upon arriving at the container warehouse, Dong Qi ignored the items stored in the container and directly absorbed the container along with its contents.

Non-flammable materials such as metals are directly absorbed and refined by the hundred-refinement furnace into basic alloys.

After the other combustibles are absorbed by the Myriad Elephant Furnace, Dong Qi will not classify them in detail. Even if there is a lot of food inside, Dong Qi will still choose to incinerate it and turn it into consumable energy.

As Suzuki Masako regained a bit of her senses, she watched as Dong Qigang drove his car closer to the containers, and the huge containers immediately disappeared.

Although she had already seen this scene from outside the car when Dong Qi was collecting metal in his car on the fourth island.

But sitting in the car and witnessing the things around her suddenly disappear gave her a different feeling.

However, being very intelligent, she did not ask Dong Qi any questions, but instead sat quietly in the passenger seat without disturbing Dong Qi's actions.

Dong Qi, focused on scavenging metal, did not notice that Suzuki Masako, sitting in the passenger seat, had already woken up.

After thoroughly looting the container warehouse, Dong Qi, who was finally able to relax, noticed that Suzuki Masako in the passenger seat had woken up.

"You're awake. If you're thirsty, there's bottled water and drinks in the back. Feel free to help yourself."

Hearing Dong Qi's greeting, Suzuki Masako thought that since she had already chosen to follow Dong Qi, she didn't hesitate and turned around to climb into the back of the car to take two bottles of mineral water.

After unscrewing the cap of a bottle of mineral water, place it on the cup holder near the handbrake. This way, Dong Qi can easily take it with one hand when he is thirsty.

Only then did I open another bottle of mineral water and sip it slowly.

Neither of them were particularly talkative, and although they knew each other well, they didn't know what to talk about for a moment, so the atmosphere in the car was somewhat silent.

Then, when his vehicle left the container warehouse and arrived at the port, Dong Qi looked at the many ships docked near the pier.

Thinking that if all these ships were absorbed, they would surely be able to gather enough metal for the upgrade.

However, if mutated marine creatures nest on those ships, Dong Qi will be unable to absorb and refine those ships.

However, when Dong Qi drove into the dock and approached the ships, he was surprised to find that none of the ships docked at the shore, regardless of their size, had any mutated marine creatures nesting inside them.

Dong Qi quickly realized the reason behind this unexpected discovery.

The reason why some mutated marine creatures nest on those ships at sea is because there is no land around. In the vast sea, only those ships are floating alone in that area.

This is why many mutated marine creatures that cannot stay in the sea for long periods of time will burrow into ships to build nests.

Meanwhile, the coastal area was completely covered by seaweed. Compared to the bare interior space of the ship, most of the mutated marine creatures preferred to hide in the seaweed.

That is why the ships docked near the pier were not overrun by those mutated marine creatures.

If Masako Suzuki could have resisted her curiosity and refrained from asking about the disappearance of those larger shipping containers, then...

As she watched the giant cruise ships and cargo ships disappear one after another, Masako Suzuki was so shocked that she could no longer contain her curiosity.

After much deliberation, Masako Suzuki ultimately refrained from asking, forcibly suppressing her curiosity.

Dong Qi noticed Suzuki Masako's hesitant expression, so he smiled and asked, "Do you want to know where those giant ships that disappeared around us went?"

Upon hearing Dong Qi's question, Suzuki Masako nodded somewhat shyly at first, then realized that Dong Qi was driving and probably wouldn't notice her actions.

So, in her very soft and sweet voice, she cautiously asked, "I want to know what you're going to do with all that metal you've collected."

"What else can you do with collecting metal? Use the collected metal to upgrade this car in every way."

Dong Qi did not hide the purpose of collecting the metal and told Suzuki Masako very frankly.

In any case, whether it's Suzuki Masako asking or someone else asking, unless Dong Qi is unwilling to answer, he will never hide anything once he does answer.

Renowned author Zui Boluo has joined the platform with his new work, "Mobile Shelter"!

Because Dong Qi knew that since there were already awakened individuals who had gained superpowers, even if the probability was very low, someone would still awaken and gain the ability to determine the truth or falsehood of words.

Even without asking, others could roughly guess Dong Qi's purpose in collecting metal on such a large scale.

It's better to tell the truth than to deceive people with lies that no one believes.

After all, if others use their supernatural abilities to confirm that Dong Qi is lying, then others will definitely be extremely wary when they come into contact with Dong Qi in the future.

Just like Suzuki Miyabi, who is sitting in the passenger seat right now, the superpower she awakened is not just limited to simply communicating with all things.

It also allows you to confirm whether the other party's words are sincere during the communication process.

After confirming that Dong Qi's answer was not a lie, Suzuki Masako felt very happy.

Dong Qi didn't know why Suzuki Masako suddenly showed a very bright smile after hearing his answer.

However, Dong Qi did not delve into the details, but continued, "My awakened superpower is related to this car. It can be upgraded in all aspects by absorbing other metals."

I don't know if you usually read novels about leveling up or play games.

You can think of this car as the main character in a game. Absorbing the metal is like a character gaining experience in a game. Once the experience bar is full, the character levels up and gains comprehensive enhancements.

Although Masako Suzuki rarely leaves the shrine, it has long been connected to the internet, so she often reads novels and plays games in her spare time.

Therefore, she could not only easily understand Dong Qi's statement, but also accept it very naturally.

Perhaps because Dong Qi took the initiative to speak, the two of them started talking and naturally entered into a conversation.

As the saying goes, "Men and women working together makes the work easier."

Unbeknownst to him, Dong Qi had once again absorbed all the ships docked at the pier.

The basic alloys stockpiled in the hundred-refinery furnace have finally met the requirements for the upgrade.

Seeing this, Dong Qi did not hesitate and directly upgraded the vehicle frame level to level 20.

Just as Dong Qi guessed, every ten upgrades to the Destiny Car will grant an energy bonus.

After upgrading the vehicle frame to level 20, I directly received a reward of 5,000 energy points.

With the energy points that Dong Qi had previously accumulated, he immediately met the minimum requirements for exchanging for upgrade items.

My personal item type: Lightly modified vehicles.

Level: Magic Item

Body frame: Reinforcement level LV20

Power System: Enhancement Level 10

Electrical equipment:

Composite Radar: LV10

Oxygen generating equipment: LV10

Other equipment:

Hundred Refinement Furnace LV10

Universal Furnace LV10

Miniature space prototype (not yet independent, space size: 100 cubic meters)

Thunder Dragon Electromagnetic Cannon: LV10

Manifestation of ideas

Number of occurrences: 3

Unknown special energy value: 12562

Dong Qi was actually a bit of a perfectionist, so after upgrading the vehicle frame to level 20, he used the remaining basic metal alloys to upgrade all other upgradeable items to level 10.

It's not that Dong Qi doesn't want to upgrade all the other projects to level 20, the maximum level, but the basic alloy consumption for each upgrade doubles.

Therefore, the remaining reserve base alloys can only upgrade a certain project by one or two levels at most. In any case, the value of the main vehicle has already exceeded the limit, so Dong Qi did not upgrade it again.

Although all the conditions for upgrading his natal car had been met, Dong Qi did not immediately choose to upgrade the level of his natal car.

Because each time the pump's main vehicle level is upgraded, the additional equipment installed inside the vehicle will be completely integrated with the main vehicle.

Although I acquired a considerable amount of metal materials during this trip to the island nation, I did not install or add any new equipment to my car throughout the entire process.

If Dong Qi were to directly upgrade his natal car like this, he would be wasting a fusion opportunity.

Although more equipment can be installed to compensate before future upgrades.

However, as your main vehicle upgrades, the upgrade speed of subsequent vehicles will inevitably become slower and slower, wasting a fusion opportunity and requiring a long time to make up for it.

Dong Qi had already planned out the items he wanted to incorporate into the car during this upgrade.

First is the intelligent control system. With this, many tedious tasks can be reduced in the future.

Dong Qi had actually acquired this thing long ago; it was that small military command center.

Don't be fooled by the name; this thing is actually an intelligent control system, just with a military focus.

The conversion of military equipment to civilian use is certainly not a problem.

There are also twenty drones with different functions, and ten basic multi-functional mechanical wolves.

Dong Qi wanted to try connecting and fixing these things directly to his destiny during the upgrade process.

Try it out: after upgrading your vehicle, see if you can integrate these features into it and give it additional companion equipment.

If the integration is successful, Dong Qi can use the vehicle's intelligent control center to operate it, even if those components are damaged due to accidents.

Because it is an accessory of the main vehicle, no matter how damaged it is, as long as the main body is found, Dong Qi can use the Treasure Forging Technique to repair it.

Therefore, as long as those drones and robotic wolves are successfully integrated into the vehicle, even if they are accidentally damaged during combat, they will be safe.

Even if Dong Qi is not a professional repairman, as long as there are enough materials in the Hundred Refinement Furnace, Dong Qi can quickly repair it using the Forging Treasure Technique.

Rather than repairing, it's more accurate to say that it's restored to its original state.

Therefore, at this point, neither the small military command center nor the drones and mechanical wolves are usable.

However, these items were not damaged overall; only some of the internal precision parts were damaged by EMP.

Whether you find a professional to replace or repair the electronic components inside, or find an awakened individual with repair abilities to repair it.

Both of these methods can restore damaged and unusable items to their former glory.

Therefore, Dong Qi needs to consider finding a professional in the island nation who can repair these things, or an awakened person with repair abilities.

Instead of lingering here, they chose to return to Great Xia immediately and find a suitable person there to carry out the repairs.

Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, which are quite obvious.

They stayed on the island to find professionals to carry out repairs.

Advantages: After repair, the vehicle can be upgraded to its main vehicle level immediately. After that, whether you stay in the island country to continue scavenging for metal or cross the sea to return to Great Xia, the safety is greatly improved.

Disadvantages: Dong Qi is unfamiliar with the island and has no clear goal in finding professionals or people with special abilities to repair the equipment.

Furthermore, even if a professional or superhuman could be found to repair those items, given Dong Qi's status, it would be difficult to get them to perform the repairs properly.

The more high-tech the electronic product, the easier it is for repair personnel to fool customers.

The advantages and disadvantages of repairing the artifacts after returning to Great Xia are exactly the opposite of those of leaving them on the island.

Advantages: It's very easy to find people who can repair these devices. Dong Qi has acquaintances at the research institute. As long as he pays some price, he should be able to ask them for help.

Disadvantage: After leaving the island nation, it will be almost impossible to plunder metals in Great Xia as recklessly as it does now.

In addition, the giant mutated marine creatures in the sea are no longer hiding on the seabed as before, but are becoming more and more active.

Therefore, if Dong Qi's main vehicle is not upgraded, his safety during the return journey will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, if possible, Dong Qi still wants to upgrade his vehicle in Japan before setting off back to Great Xia.

Most importantly, Dong Qi also wanted to obtain some raw materials from the nuclear power plant in the island nation. Although he had already exchanged some uranium rods and had the Wanxiang Furnace to refine any fuel.

But energy reserves are always better the more the better.

I highly recommend "Mobile Shelter"! Go straight to the exciting parts.
