Mobile Shelter

Chapter 119 Only Two Remaining

The people around her never expected that the story would end with a change in Masako Aoki's facial expression.

The original Masako Aoki had vanished without a trace, and in her place appeared an ordinary survivor dressed in Masako Aoki's clothes. The ordinary survivor looked around at the situation with a somewhat blank expression.

For some reason, she didn't know why. She was riding her bicycle, following the car in front of her, preparing to cross the sea and leave the fourth island.

But in the blink of an eye, she found herself in this place for some reason. Although she recognized the other Awakened Ones around her, she was an ordinary person and had no contact with them at all.

Oda Taka watched as the bewildered ordinary survivor appeared after Aoki Kotoko disappeared, and instantly realized what was happening.

At this moment, Oda Taka didn't even bother to greet the others, and the same move he used in the attack earlier appeared again.

In just a few breaths, Oda Taka disappeared from here as if by teleportation, and in a flash, he vaguely appeared on the road that Dong Qi had opened up with the electromagnetic cannon, and then disappeared without a trace.

After the others realized that Oda Taka had left, they quickly reacted and used their own abilities to break through the encirclement of small mutated marine creatures. Following the path left by Dong Qi, they quickly left the area.

When the ordinary person finally recovered from her confusion, she realized that she was now surrounded by mutated marine creatures.

Before she could even feel fear, a huge crab claw came crashing down from the sky and smashed her into a pulp.

After killing the ordinary survivor, the giant mutated sea creature did not calm down. Enraged, it repeatedly swung its pincers and slammed them into the ground. Even when it unintentionally killed the smaller mutated creatures around it, it did not quell its fury.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. Anyone who is sleeping soundly and is woken up by someone, stretches out, and before they are fully awake, has their limbs broken and is then beaten up.

No one would be in a good mood at this time.

Although Aoki Masako and Oda Taka left in a very strange way, not all other Awakened Ones have the same ability.

The others, however, relied on their own strength to break through the encirclement of the small mutated marine creatures and escape using their own raw power.

It was precisely because of their method of breaking through that they left a direction for the giant mutated marine creatures to track.

After venting its anger for a while, the giant mutated sea creature still couldn't completely vent its rage, and then chased after it recklessly.

At this moment, Dong Qi, who was about to approach the coastal area of ​​the first island, was unaware of the situation behind him.

As they approached the coastal area of ​​the First Island, the survivors following behind the vehicle became incredibly excited upon seeing the land of the First Island.

Once they set foot on the land of the first island, their lives would be mostly saved. Only if they could reach the area controlled by the island nation's government would their lives be completely saved.

When Mako Kobe saw the ordinary people around her gradually transform into Kotoko Aoki, she was not surprised.

"You're back. Judging from the looks of it, your hunting operation probably didn't succeed."

Mako Kobe's icy tone didn't sound like she was joking; rather, it sounded like she was stating a fact.

"Isn't this normal? The person in front wasn't stupid. You could roughly guess the outcome from the fact that the other party only disabled that guy's mobility instead of killing him."

It's just that some people are greedy and can't resist the temptation to take advantage of the situation.

Sensing the blame-shifting undertone in Aoki Kotoko's words, Kobe Mako didn't pay much attention and casually asked, "What about the casualties?"

"It's all up to your own abilities. Those who can catch up before the ice road you created melts are lucky to survive. Those who can't catch up can only pray for their own good fortune."

After saying that, Masako Aoki seemed to have lost all her strength and sat on the back of the bicycle without saying another word.

The ordinary person riding the bicycle ahead, though terrified and wanting to get away from the place, had no choice but to silently continue riding.

As Dong Qi's vehicle approached the beach of the First Island, he began using the electromagnetic cannon to clear a path on the beach.

Oda Taka finally caught up to the back of the group, and then casually found an empty bicycle seat.

Regardless of whether the ordinary person riding the bicycle in front of him agreed, he plopped down on the bike.

The physical exhaustion and mental lethargy caused by repeatedly using his superpowers left him unable to move after relaxing.

Even if the ordinary person riding the bicycle in front of him had malicious intentions, Oda Taka was powerless to resist and could only let the other party do as he pleased.

Fortunately, those awakened individuals had not oppressed ordinary people too much before, and they had also demonstrated the power of their abilities in front of ordinary people.

So even though the person pedaling the bike noticed that Oda Taka, who was riding behind him, was somewhat weak, he still dared not show any resistance.

As the sea ice path created by Mako Kobe gradually melted, the other awakened ones, even those who broke through the encirclement of small mutated marine creatures, were still trapped on that small island.

As for why they didn't swim over and catch up with the group...

Anyone with a brain would know that while they could hold their own against those small, mutated marine creatures on land, once they entered the sea, they would be on the enemy's home turf.

At that time, let alone being surrounded by numerous mutated marine creatures like now, even fighting one-on-one, they might not be able to defeat those mutated marine creatures.

The coastal area of ​​the first island is basically the same as that of the other islands, all of which are covered by dense seaweed.

However, what Dong Qi did not expect was that, unlike the other two islands which were still under the autonomous control of the survivors, the First Island had already been placed under military control.

Upon landing on the first island, Dong Qi noticed that not far from the shore, a large number of people were harvesting seaweed in an organized and large-scale manner.

To be honest, at this time of year, it is impossible to grow food or raise livestock in the wild.

Although tests have revealed that certain body parts of some mutated marine creatures are edible, hunting them is far from sufficient to meet the enormous daily food consumption.

And most importantly, due to the pollution from the snow and ash, even the groundwater buried deep underground is no longer clean.

The tests showed that the seaweed that grows on the ground, although it doesn't taste very good, is not only filling but also juicy like a watermelon.

Therefore, after discovering the uses of seaweed, the island nation's government began to systematically organize manpower to harvest seaweed.
