Mobile Shelter

Chapter 30 Gray Snow

Seeing Dong Qi's slightly puzzled expression, Dong Hao said with a hint of exasperation, "Do you remember when I came over a couple of days ago?"

"Of course I remember! Didn't I treat you and your colleagues to dinner?"

"Just remember. I came here last time to investigate a case. I can't disclose the specific details of the case, but it had a great impact on Pengcheng."

I can't go into the specifics, but anyway, you've been...

No.

It would be best to move into the underground shelter tomorrow. At this rate of cooling, it won't be long before most underground shelters will close their external exits to reduce energy consumption.

Of course, this is the explanation given to the public. In reality, the existing materials in Pengcheng are insufficient to reinforce all underground shelters, so only some important shelters can be reinforced first.

It just so happens that the subway stations, which connect to most of the city’s subway stations, are key underground shelters, so they will be prioritized for reinforcement.

Those underground shelters converted from independent underground air-raid shelters will be gradually renovated after the subway station renovation is completed, if there are any remaining materials.

Originally, even I wasn't qualified to know about this, but the Captain Gao you met last time was a nice guy. Although he didn't say it outright, he arranged for all the families of our investigation team members to be gathered together in a shelter converted from a subway station.

Don't spread this around. Move into the underground shelter before it closes.

Although Dong Hao didn't say it, Dong Qi knew that Dong Hao was taking a certain risk by going out to visit that night.

However, Dong Qi did not want to heed Dong Hao's well-intentioned reminder.

Dong Qi was not worried about the impending closure of the underground shelter; on the contrary, he was quite excited.

Because no matter the reason, as long as the underground shelter is closed and people are prohibited from leaving, Dong Qi can do whatever he wants in the outside world just like last time, as long as he pays a little attention.

At this point, Dong Qi's chariot was only two levels away from being upgraded again, so Dong Qi wished that all the residents of Pengcheng would stop going out and leave only himself to run wild outside.

Seeing Dong Qi's indifferent reaction, Dong Hao knew that he had made a wasted trip. It seemed that Dong Qi had no intention of moving into the underground shelter.

Dong Hao did not interfere much with Dong Qi's choice.

He informed Dong Qi about this as a way of thanking Dong Qi for reminding him to stockpile supplies.

As for whether Dong Qi will move into the underground shelter after hearing his advice, that is Dong Qi's personal choice, and Dong Hao will not interfere with Dong Qi's choice.

After all, although the underground shelters look very safe, the living conditions inside are not very good. Theoretically, each person's living space is about five square meters, but in reality, it is only the size of a single bed.

Although Dong Qi lived alone outside and had to bear unknown dangers, in terms of living conditions alone, the high-ranking officials in Pengcheng who moved into the underground shelter might not have lived as well as him.

That's why, after realizing that Dong Qi was unwilling to move into the underground shelter, Dong Hao stopped trying to persuade him.

Watching Dong Hao leave, even though he knew that Dong Hao's suggestion was for his own good.

However, firstly, the other party did not know his true situation, and secondly, Dong Qi did not know what he would face if he moved into the underground shelter.

It should be noted that Dong Qi does not have a personal space and cannot conceal the large amount of supplies.

If the supplies were brought into the underground shelter openly and honestly, it would be remarkable if Dong Qi could retain even one-tenth of the supplies by the afternoon, given that the supplies had just been moved in by morning.

It's important to know that some fairies were able to take half of the Great Emperor's cultivation after a divorce, because that was due to the restrictions imposed by the Great Dao's rules.

If Dong Qi moves into the underground shelter, he will inevitably be limited to acting within the rules.

Although Dong Qi's body has been reinforced multiple times and is now immune to small-caliber firearms, the government definitely possesses some powerful weapons. If he moves into the underground shelter, Dong Qi could very well be at the mercy of some people.

Therefore, Dong Qi would rather live alone in the outside world and face unknown risks than hide in a safe underground shelter.

After being woken up by Dong Hao, Dong Qi couldn't fall back asleep anytime soon anyway, so he walked to his natal vehicle, touching the body of the vehicle while considering what kind of magical artifact to integrate after its advancement, so that he could calmly deal with future disasters.

Just as Dong Qi was still pondering which magic weapon would be suitable, snowflakes quietly began to fall.

Unlike the pure white snowflakes that fell during the last blizzard, this snowfall lost its previous pristine whiteness, with each snowflake resembling ashes from burnt-out vegetation.

The grayish-brown snowflakes not only look unclean, but they also cause a burning sensation when they come into contact with the skin.

When Dong Qi got up the next day and drew back the curtains, he discovered that the outside world was covered in gray.

Unaware of what was going on, Dong Qi put on his coat and immediately went into the yard. Looking at the gray snow covering the yard, he subconsciously squatted down to grab a little and examine it closely.

As soon as the gray snow touched his hand, he felt a faint burning sensation in his palm.

It should be noted that Dong Qi's body had undergone multiple rounds of reinforcement and strengthening, and his resistance to various things had reached an extremely high level.

If Dong Qi's skin could feel a faint burning sensation at this moment, it would definitely cause great damage to the skin of an ordinary person.

Perhaps because this natural disaster has just begun, although the snowfall is still continuous, the snowfall is not as frightening as the last blizzard.

At that time, no one knew that this snowfall would not only corrode human skin, but also have a certain degree of corrosiveness to rubber products such as tires, as well as various plastic products.

Only metals and wooden products are immune to the corrosion caused by dust and snow.

As the snow on the ground grew thicker, the tires of the cars parked on both sides of the road gradually could not withstand the corrosive effects of the snow and began to burst.

The continuous tire blowouts initially led most of the people who had taken refuge in the underground shelter to guess that there might be a fierce battle taking place outside, otherwise, explosions wouldn't be heard coming into the underground shelter every now and then.

The various investigation teams, who were staying in their underground shelters at night, immediately got up and dressed the moment they heard the tire blowout, and were on high alert within minutes.

But when they cautiously went outside, they discovered that the continuous explosions outside were actually caused by the tires of cars exploding on both sides of the road.

Upon hearing the news, the tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.

But when a speck of gray snow landed on the skin of someone who was out, the person covered in the snow couldn't help but scream.

When the group pulled him inside the building for inspection, they discovered that the skin that had come into contact with the gray snow was not only red and swollen, but had even developed ulcers.
