Mobile Shelter

Chapter 93 Knowledgeable

Seeing the change in Lao Wang's expression, Shao Kai said with a hint of pride, "Uncle Wang, what's wrong? Are you surprised? Even if there were more than thirty boxes, we could easily take them all away."

When Lao Wang heard Shao Kai's voice, he finally realized what was happening. After calming down for a moment, he said in a slightly puzzled tone, "The interior of this carriage has been expanded by a space-type ability user."

To be honest, neither Dong Qi nor Shao Kai expected that Lao Wang could so readily reveal the information that the vehicle's interior space had been expanded by supernatural abilities. This suggests that Lao Wang had at least encountered a similar situation before.

When Old Wang saw the look of surprise on Shao Kai and Dong Qi's faces after hearing his words, he immediately said angrily, "What, do you think I'm ignorant and have never seen anything like this before?"

To tell you the truth, I not only personally witnessed an awakened individual with spatial abilities using their powers, but I also... I also...

When Shao Kai saw that Lao Wang hesitated when he got to the most crucial point, he deliberately teased him with a sarcastic tone: "Lao Wang, don't keep saying 'again,' it's not shameful to not be able to explain things clearly if you've never seen one before. After all, there are very few Awakened Ones, it's normal for ordinary people not to encounter them."

Upon hearing Shao Kai's slightly provocative tone, Old Wang, who had been somewhat agitated, instantly calmed down. He then looked around to make sure no one else was present.

He then quickly walked to the two of them, and then lowered his voice to a whisper, saying in a voice that could only be heard by the three of them at close range, "Do you think I haven't seen or experienced anything in all my long life?"

"With your paltry tricks of provocation, you two think I'd fall for it? If I really don't want to talk, and you manage to get even a single piece of information out of me, then all these decades of my life have been wasted."

After speaking, Lao Wang hesitated for a moment and then glanced at Dong Qi next to Shao Kai.

From the look in Lao Wang's eyes, Shao Kai guessed the reason for Lao Wang's hesitation, and then immediately said, "Uncle Wang, don't worry, we have a life-or-death friendship. My last mission abroad was extremely dangerous."

To be honest, of the nearly five thousand people on the ship, fewer than fifty actually made it back alive. If it weren't for Dong Qi and his vehicle, I wouldn't have made it back alive at all.

After saying that, Shao Kai couldn't help but pat the car body next to him.

(Two groups of people returned alive from the Wintership; one group accompanied the captain back by plane, and the other group consisted of Dong Qi and his crew.)

Although he didn't know the specifics of Shao Kai's last mission, he could tell from Shao Kai's few words that the mission was dangerous, and he also understood that the two of them had formed a deep friendship.

After learning about these circumstances, Old Wang continued in a low voice, "My eldest and second eldest sons have already gone to the Northwest with a group. They are said to be going there to rebuild those bases that were built in the past to deal with dangers."

Furthermore, there are rumors that the Great Xia Dynasty has already launched the Fire Seed Project, preparing to establish a post-apocalyptic survival base in the Northwest.

While this rumor may not be entirely true, I've heard that the large base currently under construction in Kyoto is gradually having its construction workers replaced by ordinary people, and most of the original professional engineers have been reassigned, leaving only a few to manage and control the construction progress.

We're good friends despite our age difference, and I know your family's situation. Right now, there aren't many transport vehicles available. If something unexpected happens, you won't even be in the first batch to board a train, let alone a plane.

Because of my eldest and second eldest children, my application and your aunt's application have been approved. While we are still in good health, we can work as support staff there. We have already arranged to leave by car next month.

Since conditions there are relatively harsh right now, and not many people know about this yet, try to find some connections and make some moves. It would be best if you could be transferred there on a lateral basis. If that's not possible, even if you have to be demoted, you should leave as soon as possible.

It's not that I'm overthinking it, but staying here isn't really safe.

Upon hearing what Lao Wang said, both Dong Qi and Shao Kai stood frozen in place.

Neither of them expected that Old Wang would reveal such important information to them.

It's important to understand that such matters are normally kept highly confidential. Not to mention ordinary people, even high-ranking officials in the government, even the top or second-in-command, would probably have a hard time knowing about this news right now.

Shao Kai then thought of Lao Wang's two sons. Although they were both in the engineering corps and their positions were not very high, they led front-line personnel. As long as there was a personnel transfer, they would definitely know about it immediately.

Therefore, Shao Kai understood why Lao Wang knew such secret information.

When Old Wang saw the grateful look on Shao Kai's face, he immediately took a few steps back and then said in a slightly louder voice, "It's just that I sold you a few more supply boxes. You're not so grateful. Anyway, it doesn't matter who I sell to. Everyone who comes here to buy things is one of our own."

Upon hearing Old Wang's sudden remark, Dong Qi and Shao Kai immediately realized what he meant and chimed in, "Uncle Wang, how can you say that? If it weren't for you, I would have had to wander all over the market to buy all these things. Being able to buy them all from you at once has saved me a lot of trouble."

When Lao Wang dragged the supply boxes out of the warehouse, he disguised them to avoid gossip. Unless you looked closely, it was hard to tell that the pallets were all filled with the same thing.

The three of them then quickly loaded all the supply boxes on the tray onto the vehicle.

Just as the three were parting, Old Wang couldn't help but pat Shao Kai on the shoulder and then said, "Come visit me for a drink sometime."

Upon hearing Lao Wang say this, Shao Kai instantly understood the hidden meaning in Lao Wang's words. Lao Wang hoped that Shao Kai would have the opportunity to be transferred to the Northwest, where the two of them could reunite.

Back in the car, Shao Kai became somewhat silent. It wasn't until the car drove back to Shao Kai's villa that he spoke up, saying, "Dong Qi, I'll take twenty of these thirty-odd supply boxes from the car. The rest are yours."

Before Dong Qi could refuse, she immediately continued, "Don't refuse yet, just listen to me. Just unload ten boxes for me in a bit. The remaining ten boxes can be stored in your car for now. The rest of the supply boxes will be considered as storage fees for these ten boxes."

After hearing Shao Kai's explanation, Dong Qi didn't stand on ceremony and agreed after a short hesitation.
