Mobile Shelter

Chapter 79 Escape from the Ship

When Dong Qi heard from Shao Kai that the captain had already abandoned the ship and chosen to escape, Dong Qi didn't have much time left to make a choice.

Although everyone in the car saw the plane leave, judging from its size, it was clear that it couldn't have taken many people with it.

This means that the vast majority of the combat personnel on the warship did not decrease with the departure of the aircraft.

Therefore, if Dong Qi and his group choose to stay and assist others in clearing out the mutated creatures that have already boarded the ship, it should be fine, according to common sense.

But everyone present knew in their hearts that, despite being the captains of their respective squads, they had far fewer channels for obtaining intelligence on the ship compared to the captain, who was the highest-ranking commander on the entire vessel.

Since the captain has already decided to abandon ship, he must have sensed an insurmountable danger. Therefore, the best option at this point is to follow the captain's example and abandon ship.

Actually, if it were just Dong Qi and Shao Kai in the car, they could have made a decision after a brief discussion.

But when Shao Kai got on the bus, he called on many friends and relatives to get on as well, and these people were not much different from Shao Kai in terms of status and position.

Therefore, if you choose to leave directly at this point, you should discuss it with others to avoid future troubles.

Although it is said that people of the same sex repel each other, only those with similar temperaments and personalities can form friendships and become friends.

It was precisely because of this that, after seeing the horrific scene on the deck and discovering that the captain had abandoned ship, the people in the vehicle quickly reached a consensus.

Not to mention that since their vehicle had the ability to escape directly, everyone chose to leave without hesitation.

After learning what everyone was thinking, Dong Qi first determined the direction of Daxia based on the nautical chart provided by Shao Kai before his departure.

Then the vehicle started instantly, ignoring the mutated marine creatures still wandering on the deck, and crashed through the deck railing into the sea.

As the vehicle plunged into the sea, although the entire vehicle was sealed, it did not rise to the surface; instead, it slowly sank into the sea.

When the people in the car saw this, although they didn't say anything, they were still very nervous.

After all, they were not carrying any items that could save them in the sea. Let alone sinking into the sea like this, they could not hold on for long even if they were to float on the surface alone.

However, before they could even ask, the car that had been slowly sinking stopped sinking and, although it did not rise, they could clearly feel the car starting to move forward.

The water propulsion module that Wu Yifei temporarily installed on Dong Qi's car has started to take effect.

Just when everyone thought they were out of danger, a group of mutated marine creatures suddenly approached them.

As the mutated marine creatures drew ever closer, the unease in everyone's hearts grew stronger.

However, perhaps because the vehicle was completely sealed off and all the energy inside was locked, even when the mutated marine creatures came into contact with it, they treated the vehicle as an inanimate object.

Although a few of them became curious about their favorite car and kept getting close to it, it was unclear what they wanted to do.

However, the vast majority of the mutated marine creatures completely ignored their original vehicle and quickly moved towards the area where the original warship was located.

Judging from the movement patterns of those mutated marine creatures, it seems that even in the water, they have their own unique ways of communicating.

As the main force departed, the mutated marine creatures, who had initially been somewhat curious about their destined vehicle, did not linger near it. Instead, they reluctantly caught up with the departing main force and left with the other mutated marine creatures.

Once all the mutated marine creatures had moved away, everyone in the car finally breathed a sigh of relief and completely relaxed.

At this moment, Dong Qi originally wanted to float his car to the surface of the water, open the window, and drift back to the port of Daxia like a boat.

Although the vehicle has advanced oxygen-generating equipment, the oxygen supply is still insufficient due to the large number of passengers inside.

However, knowing that those mutated marine creatures could pinpoint human locations by their scent, Dong Qi dared not open the car window, fearing that his car might attract the attention of those mutated marine creatures.

Despite its impressive defenses, this vehicle is capable of ignoring attacks from any small, mutated marine creature.

But now that they are in the water, if they are trapped by those mutated marine creatures, then there will certainly be no good outcome for them.

Furthermore, the basic way humans survive is by eating, drinking, and defecating, and at this time, Dong Qi had the food stored in his car.

They brought their own high-calorie food from Pengcheng.

Gao gave Dong Qi his individual rations.

There was also the compressed rations that Wu Yifei applied for from the supply warehouse before boarding the ship.

And after boarding the ship, Shao Kai gave them an extra batch of supplies as a precaution.

Although whether it was Dong Qi or others, when they brought their own or gave it as a gift, they always prepared enough for one or two people.

Because the vehicle was prepared to be fully equipped and high-spec, even though there are many people in the vehicle at this time, it should be enough to cover the energy consumption during the return trip if nothing unexpected happens.

However, while there is no shortage of food, the supply of drinking water is not as plentiful as that of food.

Firstly, the space inside the vehicle is limited, and secondly, when preparing supplies in advance, we did not expect to encounter this situation. Although we prepared double the amount of drinking water in the vehicle to prevent accidents, we did so.

However, the number of people inside the vehicle was too large, so it was impossible to meet the daily needs of everyone inside.

Fortunately, to prevent any accidents, Shao Kai provided Dong Qi with a seawater filter among the supplies. This filter can directly turn seawater into fresh water, although it requires frequent replacement of consumables.

However, with the bottled water already in the car and the people in the car appropriately reducing their daily intake, they should be able to barely make it back to shore.

Although food and drink can barely sustain us for the return trip, the most crucial thing right now is to relieve ourselves.

Although these two things may seem trivial, the cramped space inside the car and the possibility of opening the windows to let in human scent could attract the attention of nearby mutated marine life.

These two issues, which could be easily resolved on land, became the main problems perplexing everyone in the car.

Although everyone in the car was male, it didn't really matter if they were all naked, and they could still manage to solve the problem of spills by using water bottles.

But solving this problem is not easy.
