Mobile Shelter

Chapter 114 Preparing to Leave

However, everyone was already in dire straits, so even though they knew that Dong Qi's invitation was somewhat malicious, they gritted their teeth and endured it for the sake of their own lives.

Without interference from others, Dong Qi's subsequent actions were much faster.

Although there were about a hundred people following behind him, Dong Qi didn't pay them any attention and continued his looting operation regardless.

It's unclear what those island survivors were thinking, but during Dong Qi's three-day looting operation, they all stayed obediently in the safe zone that Dong Qi had created with his electromagnetic cannon.

When hungry or thirsty, they would find food from the seaweed nearby, just as they always have.

Even though three days had passed since Suzuki Masako last approached and spoke with Dong Qi, the island nation survivors did not urge Dong Qi to leave with them immediately.

On the contrary, as Dong Qi continued to collect metal materials, they discovered that the volume of the metal materials he had collected was hundreds of times greater than the volume of his chariot.

The initial malice that Suzuki Masako felt gradually disappeared, and even without getting close, she became more and more respectful to Dong Qi.

Of course, since Dong Qi wanted to enjoy the food, he couldn't let the ingredients starve. So, during the evenings of the past three days, Dong Qi would throw some food towards Suzuki Masako from afar.

Originally, when Suzuki Masako saw Dong Qi bringing her food at night, she thought that Dong Qi intended to make a move on her that night.

But when she got close to her destined car, Dong Qi did not invite her to get in. Instead, he told her very clearly that he would not leave the fourth island until he had collected enough metal materials, and he would not invite her to get in the car.

Even though Dong Qi had practically offered himself up, he still refused without hesitation, leaving Suzuki Masako with very mixed feelings.

On the one hand, some people wondered if Dong Qi's seemingly cold and unapproachable attitude meant that his attractiveness to women had decreased significantly, leading to his feelings of disappointment.

On the other hand, it is also because they have preserved their purity, and they feel somewhat fortunate at the same time.

Though words may say, pluck the flower while it blooms, lest you pluck an empty branch in vain.

However, Dong Qiyu could distinguish between what was important and what was urgent. At this moment, the most important thing was to collect metal materials and quickly upgrade the grade of his vehicle.

As for personal enjoyment afterwards, that can wait for now.

If Dong Qi is too eager to satisfy his personal desires at this moment, his efficiency in collecting metal will inevitably decrease significantly.

Dong Qi knew his own nature, so he was very self-aware.

Furthermore, although Dong Qi's operation was going very smoothly, the shipyard was located in a coastal area. While scavenging for metal materials, he could easily deal with the suddenly appearing mutated marine creatures.

But don't forget those giant marine creatures that appeared before. Although Dong Qi was on the shore, he wasn't afraid of those big guys.

But if you really offend the other party, it will definitely be a very troublesome thing.

Therefore, spending an extra day in a coastal area increases the chances of encountering danger.

Fortunately, although the Fourth Island has an excellent geographical location, it is not very large, so there are not many large shipyards here.

Three days was enough time for Dong Qi to loot all the metal materials and equipment stockpiled in the shipyard.

Dong Qi never expected that even after absorbing all the metal from all the shipyards on the Fourth Island, he would only be able to upgrade the vehicle's frame to level nineteen.

Furthermore, the amount of metal materials required to upgrade to level 20 is more than all the metal materials consumed in upgrading from level 0 to level 19.

It seems that to obtain enough metal materials from the island nation, it is necessary to set foot on the island nation's largest island.

Perhaps only there can one collect enough metal materials to upgrade to level 20.

However, during his metal collection at the shipyard, Dong Qi unexpectedly discovered some submarines in the dock.

By absorbing those submarines, the level of the vehicle-mounted oxygen generation equipment was indirectly improved, and the upgrade restrictions on the oxygen generation equipment were also lifted, which can be considered an unexpected gain.

Next, Dong Qi only needs to collect enough metal materials to upgrade the vehicle frame to level 20, and then upgrade the electromagnetic cannon and oxygen generation equipment to level 10.

If all goes well, I should be able to get another 6,000 energy points. Adding that to the 4,000 I already had, that should be enough to get my car, which will cost at least 10,000 points to upgrade the items this time.

Once his car advances to the next level, Dong Qi will likely choose to leave Japan and return to Great Xia.

Despite Dong Qi's ability to act recklessly in the island nation, humans are ultimately social creatures and do not feel a sense of belonging in unfamiliar territory.

Although Dong Qi was also an orphan in Da Xia and was bound by his hometown environment, even if he would face some restrictions after returning to Da Xia, Dong Qi would still choose to return to Da Xia.

Dong Qi and his group are currently located on the east side of the fourth island, while the first island is located on the northwest side of the fourth island.

As mentioned before, there are two routes to get from the fourth island to the first island.

The road on the west side is relatively short to the first island. Although there is a sea bridge, at this time, it is impossible to know the status of the sea bridge.

After all, even the sturdiest sea bridge is no match for those giant mutated marine creatures.

Therefore, if you choose to leave from the west, you need to be prepared to cross the sea for the entire journey.

If you choose to leave from the north, although the distance between the north and the first island is relatively far, there is a small island between the first island and the fourth island that can serve as a transition.

If you choose to head to the first island from this direction, although the journey is much longer than the western route, you only need to cross two short stretches of water, and spend most of the time traveling on the road.

In fact, choosing which of these two paths to leave wouldn't have much impact on Dong Qi.

If Dong Qi had to choose, he would actually prefer the western side, which has a longer sea route.

The reason is actually not complicated. If the northern route is chosen, most of the land on a large island like the Fourth Island will be covered by seaweed.

Therefore, the land on that tiny island between the first and fourth islands must have been completely covered by seaweed by now.

To cross that island, Dong Qi had no choice but to painstakingly clear a path using an electromagnetic cannon.

Although driving on land is very safe, it requires a lot of metal materials, and a road has to be carved out of the dense seaweed.
