Mobile Shelter

The crisscrossing, disordered earth spikes exploded directly inside the giant mutated marine creature.

The chaotic, disordered earth spikes, though not piercing through the giant mutated marine creature's body like a giant spear, still penetrated deeply into its interior.

Just as the giant mutated marine creature was writhing in agony from being pierced, its remaining three tentacles flailing wildly.

The remaining ordinary members of the hunting team who had not yet awakened their special abilities worked together to launch a huge, specially made capture net.

The giant net completely covered the immobile, mutated marine creature, and then the members worked together to drag the end of the net.

As the hunting team members exerted their strength, the giant net began to tighten.

Perhaps because the giant mutated marine creature had been captured by the giant net, the soil spikes that were originally wrapped around the giant mutated marine creature were gradually melting as the giant net contracted.

The spear that pierced the giant mutated sea creature had shrunk back to normal when the giant net was thrown towards it by the hunting team members.

The members of the hunting team responsible for the final battle did not expect the battle to go so smoothly when they made up their minds to intercept the giant mutated sea creature.

The original intention was to kill it, but the final result was quite unexpected: it was captured.

The main reason why the giant mutated marine creature was able to be captured alive was because it was a mollusc.

If other kinds of giant mutated marine creatures suffered such damage, they would have died long ago and would not have survived at all. Such tenacious vitality is remarkable.

Because Dong Qi deliberately chose to hunt giant mutated marine creatures in areas far from human habitation, the giant mutated marine creatures that appeared there, even if they underwent some secondary mutations, still generally looked like common sea fish.

When Dong Qi went to the warehouse where he had arranged to meet Qin Hanxiao, Qin Hanxiao was already there with a masked man, waiting for him.

Seeing Dong Qi get out of the car and stare warily at the mechanic beside him, Qin Hanxiao quickly explained to avoid any misunderstanding:

"This is a mechanic I specially invited from the research institute to be in charge of installing and debugging those devices. Because his identity is somewhat sensitive, he wears a mask to prevent any accidents."

You don't need to worry, his skills are excellent. Even in a research institute full of experts, his skills are among the best.

Hearing Qin Hanxiao's explanation, Dong Qi was puzzled, but he didn't say anything more.

After seeing Dong Qi's reaction, Qin Hanxiao assumed that Dong Qi had accepted the explanation, even though the other party did not speak.

"If you don't have any additional requirements, then we can have the mechanic start working now."

Upon hearing Qin Hanxiao's words, Dong Qi, to avoid any complications, did not delve into the other party's identity and simply nodded in agreement.

After confirming that the installation could begin, the mechanic's abilities far exceeded Dong Qi's expectations.

I thought that even if the mechanic was an awakened being with superpowers, he would still need to do the installation himself when installing those devices.

But Dong Qi never expected that when the installation of the new equipment actually began, the mechanic did not install it himself, but stood quietly in place without moving.

Just as Dong Qi was about to ask a question with some doubt, a box not far away suddenly opened, and dozens of mechanical insects, each only the size of a palm, crawled out of the box.

After leaving their original boxes, these mechanical insects immediately crawled towards boxes containing other equipment.

Under Dong Qi's astonished gaze, the mechanical insects worked together to open the box containing the equipment Dong Qi had ordered. Then, more than a dozen mechanical insects crawled into the bottom of the equipment and worked together to lift the equipment in the box.

Then, to Dong Qi's astonishment, the mechanical insects lifted the equipment in the box to the side of his vehicle.

Immediately following Qin Hanxiao's signal, Dong Qi opened the car door, and several more mechanical insects crawled directly into the car.

Dong Qi never expected that those mechanical insects would use the wires they spat out of their mouths to lay out and connect networks.

What surprised Dong Qi even more was that when it came to installing a base, the mechanical insects did not use special parts, but instead changed their form directly, transforming their bodies into suitable base parts.

Upon seeing this, Dong Qi's first thought wasn't to marvel at the mechanical insects' abilities, but rather to worry about whether the base parts transformed from the mechanical insects might contain any hidden tricks left behind by the mechanics.

Perhaps guessing what Dong Qi was thinking, Qin Hanxiao explained directly when Dong Qi saw the mechanical insects transform: "The mechanical insects you see now are actually created by mechanics using their supernatural abilities."

I can't disclose the specific effects of these mechanics' abilities, but to ease your worries and prevent you from overthinking, I'll give you some information.

Those mechanical insects created by the mechanic will become inanimate objects and no longer be controlled by the mechanic's powers once the mechanic stops infusing them with supernatural abilities.

More importantly, the Mechanic's special ability only takes effect upon first use, so you don't need to worry about safety. The Mechanic wouldn't and couldn't leave any hidden traps on those mechanical insects.

Although Qin Hanxiao made a solemn promise, Dong Qi did not trust his guarantee.

However, even if it's a mechanic, Dong Qi isn't actually worried if he leaves some kind of backup plan on his signature car.

As long as the vehicle is upgraded next time, even if the mechanic leaves some kind of backup plan on the vehicle, it will only be adding new abilities to the vehicle.

The mechanic installed the equipment much faster than Dong Qi had imagined, and the way he installed and debugged the equipment was completely different from what Dong Qi had envisioned.

Dong Qi had assumed that the other party would sit in the car and use the control panel to gradually adjust the installed equipment.

But Dong Qi never expected that the other party would not even approach his car, and would simply stand still without moving.

The laser cannon, already mounted on the roof of the vehicle, was swaying violently up, down, left, and right. Even just by looking at its exterior, it was clear that the laser cannon was in a pre-launch energy storage state.

However, when the laser cannon was finally fired, it was adjusted to its minimum power and was aimed at the ground, only creating a small hole in the ground.

In addition, both signal base stations and stealth shielding equipment were all crammed into the trunk by the mechanics.

The once spacious trunk was now crammed full after those devices were installed, leaving barely enough space for mosquitoes to move around freely.

After the mechanic finished debugging all the equipment, he didn't leave in a hurry. Because of Dong Qi's previous request, he still needed to guide Dong Qi on how to quickly disassemble and assemble those devices.

I thought that when the other person was guiding me through the disassembly and assembly, I could remember their voice so that if I encountered them again in the future, I could guess their identity based on their voice.

However, the well-prepared mechanic disguised his voice even when instructing Dong Qi on how to quickly disassemble and reassemble the machine. Whenever he spoke, Dong Qi heard a disguised electrical sound.

Even if they meet face-to-face in the future, Dong Qi will not be able to guess the other person's identity from their voice.

However, since the other party has already displayed their superpowers, and the probability of the superpowers being repeated is not high, Dong Qi can still find out who the other party is from this aspect in the future.

To be honest, if the other party hadn't deliberately concealed their identity, Dong Qi wouldn't have been interested in the mechanic's true identity.

However, the fact that the other party deliberately concealed their identity when they met aroused Dong Qi's curiosity, making him want to find out who the other party really was.

After confirming that Dong Qi understood how to install and disassemble the equipment, the mechanic didn't linger. He said goodbye to Qin Hanxiao and left immediately.

After the mechanic left, Qin Hanxiao said, "Brother, don't mind him. That's just his personality, and his identity is indeed a bit sensitive, so it's really inconvenient for me to introduce you to him."

But don't worry, precisely because his position is somewhat sensitive, he's very tight-lipped and won't reveal to anyone that he takes on private jobs or that he's modifying this car for you. At most, only the three of us know about it.

Dong Qi didn't pay much attention to Qin Hanxiao's explanation, since he hadn't hidden the fact that his car had been modified and strengthened.

After observing Dong Qi's expression and confirming that Dong Qi was not angry, Qin Hanxiao took out two A3-sized booklets from a box next to him and handed them to Dong Qi, saying, "These two are the maps you wanted."

Brother, you know what, even though these two things aren't very well-kept secret, getting your hands on them is actually quite troublesome.

"But to be honest, you have a good eye. Although you don't usually need this, it can really be a lifesaver in a critical moment. Besides these two, I also got you two extra sets as backup."

After saying that, Qin Hanxiao patted the box in his hand.

Upon hearing Qin Hanxiao's words, Dong Qi immediately retorted, "Since they're so useful, didn't you make more? Did you also make some other types of maps?"

Qin Hanxiao did not answer Dong Qi's question directly. Instead, he smiled and said, "Seeing through things but not saying them out loud, we can still be good friends."

Qin Hanxiao did not answer Dong Qi's question directly. Instead, he smiled and said, "Seeing through things but not saying them out loud, we can still be good friends."

Alright, let's stop chatting here. All the equipment has been installed in your car; now it's time for your final payment.

Hearing Qin Hanxiao's urging, Dong Qi immediately took out the giant mutated marine creature corpse that he had prepared beforehand.

Looking at the giant mutated marine creature corpse that suddenly appeared in the warehouse, perhaps because of his previous experience, Qin Hanxiao did not show any surprise this time.

After circling the corpse and confirming its integrity, he finally spoke, "The transaction is complete. We're even now."

It was a pleasure doing business with you. If you'd like to buy anything else next time, don't forget to come back and find me again.

Qin Hanxiao had just finished speaking when he suddenly seemed to remember something and continued, "It's all my fault. You bought the communication base station, but I forgot to give you a few short-range communication devices."

I need to deal with this big guy in the next day or two. Why don't you come to my shop the day after tomorrow, and I'll get you a few short-range intercoms.

With this communication base station, the communicator should be able to maintain normal operation within a 100-kilometer radius.

Although Qin Hanxiao was very enthusiastic, Dong Qi still refused him outright, having already obtained everything he needed.

For Dong Qi, the most important thing next is to use the map to find suitable companies to scavenge metal, quickly collect metal materials, and upgrade his vehicle again.

After saying goodbye to Qin Hanxiao, Dong Qi did not leave Kyoto, but instead drove to Shao Kai's villa.

Before entering the villa, confirm that no one is inside and, based on the marks you left before leaving, confirm that no one else entered the villa during the time you were gone.

After driving the car into the villa's yard, Dong Qi immediately removed the laser cannon mounted on the roof and all the equipment in the trunk, following the disassembly and assembly methods he had just learned, and then stored them directly in the warehouse.

Dong Qi hadn't expected that the mechanic Qin Hanxiao had hired was so skilled. He had originally thought that only one type of laser cannon could be installed on the roof, and that two types of laser cannons couldn't be installed at the same time.

However, in reality, the other party raised the position of the powerful single-target energy-concentrating laser cannon during installation.

The scattering laser cannons are mounted around the base of the energy-focusing laser cannon.

However, from the outside, the car's roof box is equipped with a raised cylindrical laser cannon.

The topmost part is equipped with a turret for a focused laser cannon, while the base below is composed of turrets for multiple scattering laser cannons.

However, although the mechanics cleverly integrated and installed these two laser cannons together, they also mentioned before leaving that due to wiring issues, the two laser cannons could not be used simultaneously during combat.

The reason for this is that using two laser cannons at the same time will overload the power supply line, and forcing the power supply line to use it will cause it to collapse due to the inability to withstand the energy.

Upon hearing this reason, Dong Qi already knew that even if he couldn't use it now, he could wait until his destined vehicle was upgraded.

These two laser cannons are integrated into the vehicle and become one with it. The Universal Furnace can then directly power them, allowing the user to use both laser cannons with different effects simultaneously during battle.

Looking at the new items that appeared on the data panel, Dong Qi felt that the equipment configuration on his car was almost perfect.

Next, all you need to do is find a suitable company on the map to collect metal, and collect enough metal to allow your vehicle to advance to the next level.

Furthermore, Dong Qi had already decided on the types of items to be used in the next upgrade and fusion of his natal vehicle.

With the robotic arm, the vehicle not only gained the mobility to move freely across rugged terrain, but also gained the ability to navigate freely on water.

Now that we have the ability to move on land and water, the only thing we lack is the ability to fly in the air.

However, due to its poor quality, even if it were to take off, it could only barely fly.

That's why Dong Qi gave up this option in the early stages, and only at this point did he choose to equip his vehicle with items that have the ability to fly.

Furthermore, Dong Qi's thoughts at this moment were not merely about giving his natal car the ability to fly.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the car is now almost omnipotent after Dong Qi added various equipment to it.

However, in reality, Dong Qi had already discovered that the light commercial vehicle he had chosen as his initial vehicle was now facing a growth bottleneck.

Although light commercial vehicles are larger than sedans, no matter how much they are improved, they are still just small civilian vehicles.

Even now, if Dong Qi's signature vehicle were to collide head-on with a tank, it would still be the tank that gets crushed.

However, the size of the vehicle at this time still limits its growth potential, and Dong Qi needs to give the vehicle a new form.

In fact, whether you look at it from the perspective of technology, fantasy, or even the realm of martial arts, there are always items that can give your favorite vehicle a new form.

And just as Dong Qi had thought, the items he chose for his future promotions not only had to give his vehicle a completely new form, but also the ability to fly.

Even if it is necessary to satisfy these two completely different requirements at the same time, Dong Qi still has quite a few items to choose from.

But for some reason, even though Dong Qi was only making plans in his mind, he still felt as if he had forgotten something, and felt a little uneasy.

In fact, at this moment, not only Dong Qi, but all the awakened individuals with superpowers who were near the coastal area were experiencing the same emotion for some reason.

At this time, they were unaware that the sea had undergone another unexpected change, which would have a significant impact on everyone's future survival.
