Chapter 133 Speculations and Ideas

It's not just the island nations surrounding Great Xia; giant marine creatures have been seen landing on the coasts of all islands, regardless of size.

Although killing and consuming giant mutated marine creatures can enhance the power of awakened individuals, the difficulty of killing them is gradually increasing as more and more of these creatures land on land.

Given the precedent of seaweed growing alongside small, mutated marine organisms, the Great Xia court reacted swiftly upon discovering this situation.

Although a survival base has been established in the mountains near Kyoto, it remains a military secret zone and no residents have been relocated.

However, as the number of giant mutated marine creatures landing on the coast gradually increased, the imperial court also began to arrange for the relocation of the people of the capital.

Having already experienced a previous migration and settlement in coastal areas, the imperial court this time offered two migration options for the residents to choose from.

The first option, of course, is to relocate to the survivor base near Kyoto, which has already been built.

Another option is to leave Kyoto and relocate to an inland area far from the coastline.

Even now, the danger of hunting giant mutated marine creatures is greatly increased, but in order to quickly improve the strength of their own abilities and obtain meat, they are willing to do so.

The imperial court continues to organize manpower daily to hunt down the giant mutated marine creatures that have landed.

Dong Qi was unaware that beneath the seemingly peaceful surface of Kyoto, undercurrents were already surging.

Perhaps because his destined car had successfully advanced, Dong Qi was still full of energy and discussing philosophy with Suzuki Masako even though it was late at night.

Even though Suzuki Masako was somewhat listless due to the long discussion, Dong Qi was still very excited.

Their discussion did not end until dawn.

Looking at Suzuki Masako resting in the back of the car, Dong Qi still felt no sleepiness at all.

After spending one night in Kyoto, Dong Qi did not plan to stay there any longer.

After all, his signature car had just been upgraded. Although he had tried it briefly yesterday, it wasn't something Dong Qi would do.

At this moment, Dong Qi was like a child who had just received a new toy. He needed to cherish the new toy for a while before he could return to normal.

That's why, after driving away from Shao Kai's villa, Dong Qi left Kyoto directly.

Having previously visited the island nation, Dong Qi already knew that there were no personnel on duty in the coastal area of ​​that location.

When the small mutated marine creatures first appeared, in the initial period, Da Xia did indeed arrange a large number of personnel to patrol and protect every inch of Da Xia's coastal area.

This is precisely why there is a shortage of personnel, requiring the support of sheriffs and volunteers.

However, after determining that those small, mutated marine creatures, even if they had landed, could only occupy coastal areas and could not penetrate inland.

The Great Xia then began to redeploy its forces. Some uninhabited coastal areas were abandoned by the imperial court, which concentrated its efforts on guarding those coastal areas that were closer to the residential areas.

Although the imperial court also knew that the coastal areas they had abandoned would soon be covered by seaweed, which would indirectly expand the range of activity of those mutated marine creatures on land.

However, due to the special circumstances at the time, guarding every inch of the Great Xia's coastline would require not only a huge amount of manpower, but also some material difficulties over time.

Because of EMP, even though Daxia possesses the world's only complete industrial chain advantage, this advantage has no opportunity to be demonstrated at this time.

Therefore, the imperial court had no choice but to settle for second best, no longer hoping to guard all the coastal areas, but instead choosing to abandon those uninhabited areas and coastal areas with few residents.

That's why Dong Qi is now able to find coastal areas that no one cares about. If the mutated marine creatures had just appeared, Dong Qi wouldn't have been able to find such areas at all.

After leaving Kyoto, Dong Qi found the no-man's land he was looking for in just half a day.

Dong Qi was momentarily stunned as he looked at the enormous body that, even when it was lying in the seaweed, still had more than half of its body protruding beyond the seaweed's cover.

He was only thinking about trying out the new abilities his car had acquired, but after seeing the enormous creature not far away, Dong Qi suddenly realized something.

Whether it's drones or mechanical wolves, even if they can damage giant mutated marine creatures, killing them would likely require a huge cost.

Just as a mosquito can pierce an elephant's skin, it's not entirely impossible to kill an elephant with mosquitoes, but it would certainly come at a great cost.

Even though Dong Qi had already installed heavy machine guns on the backs of the mechanical wolves and equipped each mechanical wolf with two thousand rounds of ammunition.

However, unless all two thousand rounds of ammunition hit the vital points of the giant mutated marine creature, even if all the bullets hit and penetrated its defenses, they would not pose any threat to its life.

The only firearm that could potentially cause serious damage to it was the sniper cannon left behind by Dong Qi.

It has a kill radius of five meters and the penetrating power to easily penetrate ordinary concrete walls.

If a blow is delivered to the vital point of a giant mutated marine creature, it can indeed cause fatal damage.

Even with the sniper cannon that Dong Qi left in the warehouse, there are only two sniper cannons in total. Furthermore, even though Dong Qi's body has been enhanced many times, he is not a sharpshooter.

In Dong Qi's hands, the sniper cannon served more of a deterrent purpose; in terms of actual combat accuracy, it was actually not as high as the mechanical wolf equipped with a sniper cannon.

However, dealing with those giant mutated marine creatures was not too difficult for Dong Qi, given that his electromagnetic cannon had been upgraded to level ten.

It already possesses the power to kill those giant mutated marine creatures with a single blow.

Not to mention the cooperation between drones and radar, coupled with the control and locking of the vehicle's intelligent central hub.

At this moment, the accuracy of the electromagnetic railgun was many times higher than the accuracy that Dong Qi had previously estimated on his own.

If in the past, when Dong Qi used electromagnetic cannons, he could only ensure that the firing direction was correct before firing, and the specific hit rate was left to fate.

Now, with dual positioning from radar and drones, as well as ballistic calculations from the intelligent central control system, the electromagnetic cannon is like a sharpshooter in control, hitting the desired location with every shot.

Although they were unaware back in the island nation that consuming giant mutated marine creatures could improve physical fitness and enhance superpowers.

However, not long after returning, Dong Qi learned of this information.

In order to boost the hunting team's morale, the Great Xia Dynasty did not conceal this information.

Anyway, those giant mutated marine creatures are extremely large, so even if only a small part of their bodies are edible.

However, each kill yields several tons of meat, and over time, the number of giant mutated marine creatures landing on the coast is increasing.

Even with the increasing number of hunting teams, their daily harvest has not decreased; on the contrary, the number of giant mutated marine creatures they encounter is constantly increasing.

The reason Dong Qi didn't hunt the giant mutated marine creature before wasn't because he couldn't defeat it, but because there wasn't enough space inside the car.

Even if you kill it, you can't take away much fish meat.

Unless you can quickly find special organs inside the giant mutated marine creatures you hunt.

Otherwise, dissecting the body and searching for special organs would be a very troublesome task for Dong Qi.

If you don't have a concept of it, imagine searching for a gold nugget the size of a basketball in a ten-story-high mountain.

Although the gold nugget is quite obvious in the mountain, it is difficult to pinpoint its location if there are only one or two people working there.

Furthermore, since Dong Qi's strength improvement mainly relied on the Treasure Forging Technique at this time, hunting giant mutated marine creatures was essentially useless to him.

But things are different now. The upgraded vehicle has added drones and an intelligent hub, and the electromagnetic cannon has been upgraded from LV4 to LV10.

The electromagnetic railgun's power has been greatly enhanced, and its accuracy has also been significantly improved.

Most importantly, with the warehouse in the farm space, Dong Qi now has a huge amount of storage space.

As long as you don't hunt too many mutated giant marine creatures, and only hunt one or two, the farm warehouse still has plenty of storage space.

Just as Dong Qi was about to take action, he suddenly saw a vehicle enter the radar's scanning range.

If the original radar scanned in a single mode each time it was used, it could only indicate that a stranger was approaching, but could not provide specific details.

With feedback from the intelligent control center, as long as Dong Qi activates the radar scan, the radar will perform scans in turn using various scanning methods.

Therefore, as long as a stranger enters the radar scanning range, the intelligent central system can combine the information from different scanning modes and, based on past experience, provide the specific number of those who approached, as well as some other information.

If aerial reconnaissance is conducted in conjunction with drones, even if the drones cannot broadcast real-time footage of intruders, the real-time situation of those approaching can be reconstructed through data simulation.

If aerial reconnaissance is conducted in conjunction with drones, even if the drones cannot broadcast real-time footage of intruders, the real-time situation of those approaching can be reconstructed through data simulation.

Upon seeing that there were only three vehicles approaching, two of which were large trucks, Dong Qi roughly knew the purpose of those people's visit.

Compared to his time in the island nation, where he always assumed the worst about strangers, after returning to Daxia, while he didn't immediately lower his guard against strangers who approached him, he also refrained from harboring any unwarranted malice towards them.

As the three cars drew closer, the drivers spotted Dong Qi's car.

Then, the oncoming vehicle honked its horn to let Dong Qi know it was there, and then an SUV accelerated away from the convoy and drove toward Dong Qi.

When the SUV was about ten meters away from Dong Qi's car, it slowed down and stopped.

Then a young man got out of the passenger seat. Although he was wearing simple work clothes, even someone like Dong Qi, who had no factory experience, could tell that the work clothes were just a style of clothing and not the actual attire of a worker.

"Hey bro, we're the Tiger Roar Squad. We came here because we saw you parked here alone in your car. Is your car broken down? Do you need our help?"

After seeing someone get off at the other end of the road, Dong Qi did not stay in the car any longer.

After getting out of the car, Dong Qi smiled and replied to the other person's question, "My car is fine. I came here to check on the situation in the coastal area."

Upon hearing Dong Qi's words, the young man immediately became excited and said to Dong Qi, "Don't you also think that appearing in the coastal area now...?"

Before the other person could finish speaking, the horn of the SUV suddenly sounded, interrupting the young man's next words.

Instantly, the sound of the horn drew the attention of Dong Qi and the young man on the other side.

Before the young man could ask anything, a middle-aged man got out of the car, quickly walked to his side, placed his hand on the young man's shoulder, and then spoke to Dong Qi:

"Since you're alright, young man, we won't bother you any longer. Seventh brother, come with me; we have a lot of things to do."

Even as he turned away after speaking, the hand on the young man's shoulder remained on his shoulders.

As the middle-aged man turned around, the young man's shoulders, under the middle-aged man's control, also turned along with him.

Seeing the two people's behavior, Dong Qi did not say anything, but some thoughts had already formed in his mind.

After seeing the off-road vehicle return to the convoy and leave with it, Dong Qi returned to his car.

Masako Suzuki, who had been resting in the back of the car, had gotten dressed and sat in the passenger seat, perhaps because of the sound of the horn earlier.

After Dong Qi got into the car and closed the door, Suzuki Masako asked with some confusion, "Where are we? What just happened?"

Upon hearing Suzuki Masako's question, Dong Qi did not answer immediately, even though he had not had much contact with her just now, and the young man had been interrupted before he could finish speaking.

However, Dong Qi still vaguely guessed some things from the other party's behavior.

Just as Dong Qi was deep in thought and analyzing, the young man who had just gotten out of the SUV was being scolded by the middle-aged man who got out later: "Seventh Brother, this is not the first time this has happened."

I know you have a lively personality, and I know you can't keep your mouth shut when you're happy, but you should know that loose lips sink ships.

You have no idea who the other person is or what their identity is. If you talk to an acquaintance about some things, even if you reveal some unimportant information, the other person will be grateful and won't say anything more.

But if you tell this to a stranger, and someone with malicious intent leaks it, they can trace it back to you, and you'll be the one who suffers in the end.

Hearing the middle-aged man's reprimand, the young man lowered his head and did not refute. After all, he was not stupid. Although he was sometimes impulsive, he knew that the other party was actually concerned about him when he said that.

Dong Qi was unaware of the situation inside the off-road vehicle. After sorting out some of the details, he answered Suzuki Masako's question: "Didn't I hear that eating the flesh and blood of giant mutated marine creatures can not only improve physical fitness but also enhance the strength of superpowers?"

Seeing how tired you were after yesterday's discussion, I thought I'd make you something nice to eat to help you recover.

That way, you won't be able to hold your tongue for long during future discussions.

Upon hearing Dong Qi's words, Suzuki Masako blushed slightly, then lowered her head shyly and ignored Dong Qi.

At this moment, Dong Qi deduced the purpose of the group's trip from the composition of their convoy.

It's easy to see from the fact that two of the three vehicles were freight trucks that the purpose of their trip was to hunt giant mutated marine creatures for food.

However, in general, even privately formed hunting teams usually operate within the vicinity of official hunting teams.

This way, even if you encounter danger, you can easily call for help and receive rescue quickly.

After all, when hunting giant mutated marine creatures, unless you can kill the target instantly with one shot, you'll be at a disadvantage.

During battle, one cannot avoid being attacked by small, mutated marine creatures hiding in the seaweed.

Don't underestimate the individual combat strength of those small mutated marine creatures. In crucial battles, their occasional attacks can have a significant impact on the outcome.

Not to mention, even when those small mutated marine creatures launch a sneak attack, they always hide in the seaweed.

If you let your guard down even slightly during the battle, you'll only discover the traces of those small, mutated marine creatures hidden in the seaweed when the attacks hit you.

Therefore, even private teams led by a few awakened individuals with supernatural abilities would choose to operate near the hunting teams organized by the imperial court when hunting those giant mutated marine creatures.

The imperial court naturally tacitly approved of this situation.

After all, even if those free teams didn't join them, they were still part of the Great Xia.

As long as the other party does not take any excessive actions, the Great Xia government will not only not target them, but will also take care of them as a matter of course.

After all, the presence of those free-roaming squads operating around them can be considered as helping to alleviate some of the pressure on the battlefield.

But like the caravan just now, they left the densely populated areas and chose sparsely populated, uninhabited areas to hunt.

Without a doubt, there must be some issues that Dong Qi is unaware of.

Furthermore, judging from the young man's excited expression upon seeing Dong Qi and his opening remarks, one could roughly guess that he believed Dong Qi was there for the same purpose as them.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Dong Qi only has his own car here. It's a light passenger vehicle, and although it can carry seven people, it can actually comfortably seat more than a dozen people without feeling cramped.

That's why the young man who came out first felt that great minds think alike.

After figuring out the other party's purpose, Dong Qi suddenly remembered something very interesting.

Since the way to upgrade a farm is to gain experience by breaking down crops.

That………….
