Mobile Shelter

Chapter 34 Next Target

"Captain Wang, that kid doesn't seem simple. Maybe I should..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Wang Meng interrupted, scolding him, "What do you mean, 'what are you doing'? What do you think you're doing at a time like this?"

They have the ability to travel alone now. Regardless of their purpose, the fact that they can travel alone is something we can't compare to.

Don't be fooled by the size of our team; there aren't many people who can match their strength.

In response to Wang Meng's reprimand, someone retorted indignantly, "What can that kid do? Don't forget, the weapons we have aren't just firewood sticks."

Hearing his teammate's rebuttal, Wang Meng felt somewhat helpless. This was because there were too many people in the team; in a large forest, there are all sorts of birds.

They actually had quite a few weapons, and although they were all homemade, they were no worse than those used by the police. In fact, after modification, their firepower was even more powerful than that of the police.

The working principle of firearms has long been thoroughly studied by some craft enthusiasts during peacetime. Since manufacturing iron products is illegal, these craft enthusiasts basically use paper as the material for replication.

Although the replicas are all just for show, their basic structure and principles are exactly the same as the genuine product.

Most machining factories, even small individual workshops, actually have the capability to manufacture firearms. However, they are usually strictly regulated, and the profit margin is low, so it's not worth the risk.

However, once a special period arrives, the output that emerges from the grassroots level can absolutely surprise everyone.

All the firearms in their convoy were homemade.

Actually, mass-producing bullets is more troublesome than firearms. That's why most of the firearms in their convoy are fog guns, also known as shotguns.

The team members didn't even consider that since they were all qualified to use firearms, was Dong Qi, who was out alone, the kind of person who would recklessly set off without a care in the world?

Since someone dares to go out alone at this time, they must have something to ensure their safety.

It was precisely because Wang Meng understood this, and also because he didn't want to cause trouble, that he allowed Dong Qi to leave.

Dong Qi was unaware that his departure from the team would cause some controversy among the team members due to his presence.

Even if Dong Qi knew about this, he wouldn't care too much. After all, as long as it wasn't against the official regular army, ordinary people posed almost no threat to him.

For some reason, Dong Qi kept encountering convoys on the highway during the rest of the journey.

Although ordinary tires cannot drive normally in snow and dust, a living person will not die from holding in their pee. Since ordinary tires cannot be driven on the road, it does not affect the travel of modified cars.

Along the way, Dong Qi witnessed a wide variety of vehicle modification methods.

The most common method is to directly convert ordinary rubber tires into pure wooden tires, which are difficult to drive on muddy dirt roads.

However, in the Great Xia, a country known for its infrastructure development, there are extensive asphalt roads everywhere. Apart from the higher wear rate and higher fuel consumption, wooden tires don't really have any major disadvantages compared to rubber tires.

In addition, Dong Qi also saw many heavily modified tracked vehicles, and many of them had a cargo box attached to the back, which must have contained a lot of supplies.

When Dong Qi passed the other vehicle, he saw through the car window that the other vehicle was only on high alert and did not make any outrageous moves, so he knew that the convoy was not short of supplies at this time.

Some of them would greet Dong Qi in advance using a walkie-talkie after spotting him.

Through several conversations, Dong Qi gained a general understanding of the situation of these racing teams.

These convoys are basically organized spontaneously by residents of various towns or counties.

Their purpose was similar to that of the Haili car team that Dong Qi first encountered: to leave their original towns and head to larger cities to escape the disaster.

This behavior is similar to fleeing famine during ancient times. They all felt that they might not survive if they stayed in their hometowns, so they spontaneously went to big cities in order to have a chance to survive.

The underground shelter that Dong Qi was unwilling to enter in Pengcheng was their dream paradise, and they couldn't wait to move in there as soon as possible.

Because Pengcheng is the closest city to this area, the vast majority of the convoys head to Pengcheng.

However, because the Great Xia Dynasty has a mature transportation network, some convoys with sufficient supplies are also considering heading north along the highway to directly reach the core city of the Great Xia Dynasty: Kyoto.

After all, no matter the era, Kyoto, as the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, always had a much better standard of living than other cities.

Of course, there aren't many people like them who have both vehicles and the ability to modify them.

Therefore, the vast majority of residents in townships and counties still lived in local shelters under the organization of the local government.

Fortunately, the characteristics of the gray snow were quickly understood by everyone, and many people found suitable ways to deal with it, so life afterward was much easier than expected.

Under normal circumstances, it only takes two to three hours to travel from Pengcheng to the destination by expressway.

However, due to the gray snow, even though my car has been upgraded many times, its speed can only be maintained at the minimum speed limit of 60 km/h on the highway.

This was the highest speed that vehicles were traveling on the highway at that time. The other convoys were only going around 20 or 30 kilometers per hour. After all, who would be speeding in the snow?

Dong Qi arrived at the logistics park late at night. Seeing that it was already dark and he was unfamiliar with the place, he did not take any action that night.

My car has undergone multiple upgrades, and its body insulation is quite good, so even when the engine is off at night, the interior temperature doesn't change much.

However, as Dong Qi lay in the driver's seat preparing to sleep, he thought that after multiple reinforcements and improvements to the vehicle's sealing, although external environmental factors could be ignored, the lack of air circulation inside the vehicle could also lead to oxygen deficiency.

Therefore, an internal circulation device with oxygen generation function needs to be installed inside the vehicle.

This device does not actually rely on the ability to materialize ideas. Although it is not very common in Daxia, it is actually installed in some poorly ventilated underground buildings or fully enclosed buildings.

However, such devices are usually quite large, so they rarely appear in the sight of ordinary people.

However, some smaller submarines are also equipped with this system. Although it is not as capable of generating oxygen independently as the larger equipment, it can still maintain a sufficient oxygen supply in a closed environment for a certain period of time.

Once his vehicle's rank is upgraded, Dong Qi's next goal is to find this type of equipment.
