Chapter 96 Crossing the North Korean Peninsula
Chapter 96 Crossing the North Korean Peninsula
If you choose to cross the Korean Peninsula, you can stop by the mold base there. If you're lucky, you might be able to get some weapons and ammunition supplies from there.
If we're even luckier, we might be able to complete the missing weapons for the remaining three attack systems all at once.
Thinking about this, Dong Qi suddenly realized that this time, he would have to cross over from the Korean side to leave.
Most importantly, after multiple upgrades to his natal vehicle, Dong Qi's body has also undergone multiple enhancements, making him virtually immune to all poisons and possessing formidable firepower.
While he still needs to abide by etiquette and law in China, Dong Qi would like to vent his frustrations if he has the chance, especially in South Korea or Japan.
After all, in this era where ordinary people live hand to mouth, even awakened individuals like Dong Qi, who have gained superpowers, have faced life-or-death crises.
Although Dong Qi's mindset was relatively stable at this time, without a good outlet for his emotions, the psychological pressure would continue to increase, and over time, it would inevitably lead to mental illness.
Throughout history, the best way to relieve inner stress has always been through violence and animal language (a homophone for "violent").
Dong Qi is neither a saint nor does he want to be one.
Just like those noble captains during the Age of Exploration, they could commit all sorts of atrocities on the high seas, but as soon as they returned home, they would all revert to their refined and courteous demeanor, adopting the manners of a nobleman.
Therefore, once Dong Qi leaves the Great Xia, he can easily break free from the constraints of etiquette and travel light, enjoying the life of a superior person.
With this in mind, Dong Qi couldn't wait to embark on his journey to travel and collect materials.
Just as they were about to set off, Dong Qi suddenly thought of another route: starting from Kyoto and heading to Daqin Island.
Then, after crossing the inland sea and transiting in Dalian, they continued crossing the inland sea to South Korea, and finally departed from the port of South Korea to the island nation.
This route combines land and sea travel. There are not many detours along the way, and the distance that needs to be traveled in the water each time you cross the ocean is not very long.
Theoretically speaking, choosing this route to the island nation should be the most suitable.
However, Dong Qi suddenly remembered the skirmish he had encountered along the coast of Tianjin on his way here.
If this route is chosen, Dong Qi will need to traverse the coastal region multiple times. At this time, the coastal region is still a battlefield where humans and mutated marine creatures are fighting for control.
If this path is chosen, then Dong Qi will need to traverse the battlefield for each landing or sea voyage.
If someone notices and reports Dong Qi's whereabouts, his unconventional behavior will definitely attract the attention of the high-ranking officials in the imperial court.
So after much hesitation, Dong Qi finally decided to depart from Kyoto, take a detour to Fengtian, cross North Korea by land, and then cross the sea through a port in South Korea to reach the island nation.
Although this route may seem to involve a much longer journey, both the Kyoto area and the Fengtian area are still under the control of the imperial court at this time, so its safety is guaranteed.
And the journey was just as Dong Qi had predicted before he set off; he encountered virtually no unexpected events when he left Da Xia.
However, at this time, Fengtian is also beginning to shrink its battlefield and move away from the coastline.
Dong Qi once again chose to travel along the road near the coastline, but he never expected that, compared to when the coastal area was firmly controlled by the Great Xia, it had now fallen and was completely occupied by those mutated marine creatures.
Fortunately, this led humans to discover that the marine creatures that invaded the land could not stay on land for long and had to return to the ocean after a period of time.
This is why, although humans have lost control of the coastal areas, the mutated marine creatures have not ventured too far inland after occupying the coastal areas.
Fengtian and North Korea are separated by a long river, which was originally just used as a dividing line of the border.
But at this moment, those mutated marine creatures actually began to invade the land on both sides of the river, following the long river.
However, perhaps because this river extends deep inland, those mutated marine creatures are able to enter the inland areas along the river.
However, due to their limited numbers, these mutated marine creatures can only emerge from the riverbed from time to time and invade the riverbanks on both sides, just as they did when they first appeared.
Because of the small number of them, both the Xia and Beibang sides could easily handle the situation.
Furthermore, since it has been confirmed in the Great Xia region that certain parts of the mutated marine creatures are edible, those mutated marine creatures that crawl ashore are captured by humans stationed on both sides of the river shortly after leaving the water, becoming delicacies for the people in the surrounding area.
However, for some unknown reason, when Dong Qi arrived at this side of the border, he was surprised to find that the bridges connecting the two countries had all collapsed.
If Dong Qi wanted to go to North Korea, he had to cross a long river.
Crossing the river posed no challenge for the car that was destined for this moment.
Although crossing the river was relatively simple, due to the special circumstances at the time, patrol personnel were frequently seen in the area near the river, both on the Da Xia side and on the opposite side, North Korea.
At this point, it was almost impossible for Dong Qi to cross the river silently without being noticed by others.
However, if one relies on the strong protective capabilities of their main vehicle, it is not impossible to force their way across the river at this point.
However, the Asian map in Dong Qi's hand only showed the rough locations of cities in North Korea, so it seemed unlikely that he could cross North Korea based on that map.
Therefore, once Dong Qi enters North Korea, he needs to find a way to obtain a map of North Korea. This map does not need to be particularly accurate; it only needs to mark the main roads in North Korea.
Therefore, this river crossing should not attract the attention of the North Koreans. Otherwise, once Dong Qi enters North Korea, he will definitely be caught in endless trouble.
However, Dong Qi did not linger near the riverbank. After nightfall, he found a relatively flat area on both sides of the riverbank and rushed over there.
Once the tires of his car were back on the ground, Dong Qi realized that his previous considerations might have been a game with thin air; his attempt to cross the river had not attracted the attention of anyone else.
Just as Dong Qi was excitedly finding his direction and driving along the main road, he was unaware that his car had already attracted the attention of the authorities in North Korea.
Although Dong Qi had already removed the license plate from his car when he arrived, and after learning that there were many vehicles of this model in North Korea as well.
However, Dong Qi was unaware that the National Day celebrations in North Korea were different from those in Da Xia.
