Mobile Shelter

Chapter 63 Other Awakened's Methods

This massive explosion not only wiped out all the mutated marine creatures that had landed on land, but also cleaned up the battlefield.

But along with the one caught in the fishing net, a giant marine creature resembling a manatee approached the shore.

Even more turbulent mutated marine life surged out of the sea and landed on the coastal areas.

Because of the explosion, all the garrison troops who were originally stationed here have retreated to a safe area.

At this point, the only people still in the vicinity of the coast were those few awakened individuals enveloped in blue light.

Looking at the seemingly endless tide of monsters emerging from the sea, Dong Qi hesitated for a moment, but then felt an urge to drive his car to save them.

The reason why this thought arose in Dong Qi's mind was not because he had a saintly heart and insisted on going to save people regardless of his own life.

Dong Qi was certain that even if he rushed over, the attacks from those mutated marine creatures would not cause any damage to his vehicle.

Even if those mutated marine creatures were allowed to attack for three days and three nights, they would not cause the slightest damage to Dong Qi's natal car.

Furthermore, "saintly mother" and "saintly hypocrite" are two different kinds of beings.

When faced with danger, the Virgin Mary would risk her own life to save others.

A "saintly hypocrite" will also risk danger to save people, but instead of going to save them personally, he will use moral blackmail to arrange for others to go and save them.

The saying "kill the saintly one first in times of chaos" actually means killing the hypocritical saint, while the saintly one is actually the best ally in the apocalypse.

Because at least you can entrust your back to the other party with peace of mind, and the other party will not betray their teammates for personal gain.

Dong Qi didn't mind showing some goodwill in front of others as long as it didn't endanger his own safety.

Furthermore, the other party's status and personal strength are both worthy of Dong Qi's initiative to befriend.

However, before Dong Qi could make up his mind, the blue light that had surrounded them disappeared as the explosion ended.

The moment the blue light enveloping them disappeared, the mutated marine creatures, which had been aimlessly wandering after reaching the ground, suddenly seemed to find a target and rushed towards their location.

At this moment, it was also the first time that Dong Qi had personally witnessed the fighting style of other awakened individuals.

Among the awakened ones, someone casually waved their hand, and all the mutated marine creatures that were about to approach instantly stopped in their tracks. Then, as if they had lost their souls, those mutated marine creatures instantly went limp and collapsed to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, five or six humanoid wooden puppets sprang out from the ground. Apart from the two long swords they were holding, the rest of the puppets were made entirely of wood.

After leaving the underground, the puppets moved as nimbly as fish, freely darting among the mutated marine creatures.

Each time it approaches and leaves, it takes the lives of several mutated marine creatures in the vicinity.

With just the two of them taking action, even if the surrounding mutated marine creatures were numerous, they could not get close to them, nor could they stop the actions of the awakened one who remained silent while pulling the fishing net.

The other awakened individuals on the battlefield, seeing that their two teammates had taken control of the battlefield, stopped trying to expand their achievements.

Instead, they patiently stood around the awakened one who had been silently dragging the fishing net, protecting him and preventing other mutated marine creatures from attacking or interfering with his actions.

Meanwhile, the garrison troops who had already moved away from the coastal area rejoined the battle with their guns.

The gunfire, which had stopped, resumed. The garrison troops who had left returned to the battlefield and were gradually advancing towards the location of the awakened ones.

Seeing the garrison appear and once again engage in a protracted war of attrition with the mutated creatures, Dong Qi asked Wu Yifei beside him, somewhat puzzled:

"Hasn't the situation returned to what it was before the explosion? If that's the case, then the elaborate explosion just now seems to have had no effect."

Since he had already decided to curry favor with Dong Qi, Wu Yifei patiently explained to Dong Qi's question: "How could it not work? The timing of the explosion was chosen when those mutated creatures were just going berserk."

The explosion wiped out all the mutated marine creatures that had just gone berserk, and also bought them some time.

The main purpose of coming here is not to eliminate many mutated marine creatures, but to find a way to capture the giant mutated marine creature that has been hiding underwater.

Therefore, as long as the battlefield can be stabilized and the big guy who has been caught in the net can be dragged ashore, everything else needs to be put aside for the time being.

After the explosion, these mutated marine creatures that have just emerged from the sea have not yet entered a berserk state.

Therefore, the re-entry of the defending troops into the battlefield would not only avoid casualties but would also alleviate some of the defensive pressure on the awakened ones.

After hearing Wu Yifei's explanation, Dong Qi immediately realized what was going on and said with some disbelief, "So, this so-called electromagnetic gun test mission was actually a bait for the military."

Ostensibly, it was a test of the electromagnetic railgun's combat effectiveness, but actually, it was to attract the attention of that giant mutated sea creature, right?

Upon hearing Dong Qi's question, Wu Yifei did not show any shame on his face. Instead, he bluntly said, "I don't know why you were able to get this opportunity to test the new weapon."

To be honest, whether in the past or present, even for newly manufactured prototypes, the selection of testers is extremely rigorous, and strangers are never considered for this kind of testing.

Not to mention, the electromagnetic railgun installed on your vehicle is already fully developed and, after passing combat testing, can be incorporated into the military's deployment plan.

Seeing the questioning look on Dong Qi's face, Wu Yifei immediately guessed what the other party was thinking, so he continued, "Don't doubt it, don't question it. This electromagnetic gun has undergone multiple internal tests and has met the conditions for military procurement and deployment."

However, the one installed on your car roof is a defective, downgraded version, which only increases the difficulty of loading ammunition, without reducing other aspects.

To be honest, if you can find a skilled modifier who understands the structure of an electromagnetic railgun, you can modify its ammunition supply system and it will be almost indistinguishable from a laboratory-produced product.

I don't know if you have connections or if you've offended someone.

You've offended someone, haven't you? This electromagnetic railgun is no big deal. You won't even get a glimpse of the finished product, let alone install it.

But if you're talking about connections, I don't know why they installed a crippled electromagnetic cannon on you.
