Cave Refuge-Chapter 151 - 150 No Physical Handover_1

Of course, Dong Tianyu’s previous thoughts were merely his own wishful thinking. To actually implement them, a lot of preparation is needed in advance.

For instance, the mode of transportation that is needed to go there. If it is only himself, simply pushing a bike or motorbike from the Shadow Space would suffice. But if he intends to bring people back from that place, he must at least prepare a four-wheeled vehicle that can resist heat.

The current weather outside is quite hot, but it hasn’t reached the point where vehicles are completely unusable. Although vehicles might break down due to overheating not long after hitting the road, certain off-road vehicles could still manage to operate.

While there are plenty of vehicles in Dong Tianyu’s Shadow Space, they were obtained from Pengville Port during the Cold Catastrophe. Most of the electronic equipment within these vehicles is broken beyond repair, requiring professionals to repair them or consuming survival points to transform them into magical artifacts or mechanical devices.

In addition to transportation, the most important aspect is to have armed support. He wouldn’t want the survivors there to take advantage of his vehicle and turn on him just because it’s only Dong Tianyu coming. Although Dong Tianyu wouldn’t be scared, it would certainly be troublesome.

Even if they have no plans to double-cross, they won’t just give Dong Tianyu a house for free. After all, he has high requirements for his house. The ideal situation is for both parties to negotiate a trade, but he’s unsure of what he has to propose in exchange.

Of course, if they plan to double-cross him, he could then freely choose without having to spend a cent. If possible, he might even move his ship there.

Before heading there, Dong Tianyu plans on visiting his parents first. He wouldn’t want his schedule to clash with his mother’s, which would be very bothersome.

At this point, Dong Tianyu doesn’t care about Li Minghao’s previous tracking. Even though Dong Tianyu has always stayed away from official organizations, with his Foundation Building Cultivation and possession of Divine Sense...

Although he can’t guard against firearm attacks, he could still detect an enemy raising their gun within the range of his Divine Sense. Thus, having them aim at him is outright impossible.

However, Dong Tianyu doesn’t know that the pressure on Li Minghao has been increasing lately. After high-ranking officials took two hundred kilograms of saltpeter from the West City District Headquarters, they stopped making official requests.

But some high-ranking officials privately expressed to Li Minghao their desire for more saltpeter, especially after hearing that Ye Liuyun had sent several dozen kilos of saltpeter to the War Reserve Storage Shelter. The urgency in their voices only hastened.

What these high-ranking officials were not aware of, was that, although the saltpeter sent by Ye Liuyun seemed to be for the West City District Headquarters, the saltpeter was divided amongst the members of the Elderly Faction before even reaching the warehouse.

When entering the underground shelter, it was a box of physical saltpeter. But when it reached the shelter’s warehouse, it was converted into a box of loan receipts.

Although this seemed a little irregular, even completely against the rules before the natural disasters occurred, they did it anyway. They were afraid that the Saltpeter would mysteriously disappear once it was put into the warehouse, so they just didn’t allow the physical goods to enter.

You should know that although the warehouse manager is a member of the Airdrop Faction, the actual person in charge of receiving the goods was a member of the Elderly Faction.

Although they received loan receipts, the warehouse manager still registered them as physical goods. Then, they made a quick outbound operation according to the records on the paper.

Through this process, what initially seemed like an irregular act became ostensibly regular. After all, the paperwork for the inbound and outbound operations was complete and both parties had signed. Whether there were any physical goods during the handover then became irrelevant.

Their action of first taking things then completing procedures later cut off the idea of those who wanted to take a cut from the process.

This caused some people in the Airdrop Faction and Neutral Faction to feel depressed, seeing the high-ranking officials from the government pressuring Li Minghao for saltpeter.

And the younger generation of the Elderly Faction, who should have been Li Minghao’s staunchest supporters, started to distance themselves from Li Minghao after understanding how unfair he had been to Dong Tianyu.

These people were not standing up for Dong Tianyu, but rather, they saw their own future treatment from Li Minghao reflected on Dong Tianyu. No one wanted to become the next targeted Dong Tianyu.

After all, in this whole incident, Dong Tianyu didn’t do anything wrong, but Li Minghao vented his anger on him simply because Dong Tianyu stopped contributing. After knowing this, no one wanted to help Li Minghao and become the next Dong Tianyu.

Just after leaving the cave mansion, Dong Tianyu watered a languishing sapling not far away, instinctively using the Spring Rain Blossom magic to water it.

As his spellcasting movement ended, water droplets suddenly appeared in the air above the sapling. At first, it was just a few droplets, then it gradually turned into a small-scale rainfall.

Although the scope of the rainfall is small, less than one meter in diameter centered around the sapling, the raindrops contained Spirit Power. The once languishing sapling, after being watered, became vibrant once again, regaining its previous vitality.

However, looking at the result, Dong Tianyu was helpless. This sapling was specifically planted here by him, not an expensive breed, but a bud found in the dead trees of Nameless Mountain.

After Dong Tianyu transplanted it here, every time he practiced the Spring Rain Blossom spell, it would be targeted.

Unfortunately, as the external temperature got hotter, if Dong Tianyu didn’t increase the mana supply, the rain droplets would become fewer and fewer, and the coverage smaller and smaller every few days when he used this spell.

Casually taking out a thermometer, the current temperature had already reached fifty-five degrees. Considering that it was still early morning and not the hottest part of the day yet, it may well exceed sixty degrees later today.

The platform at the cave entrance deserved to be a natural rock platform. Whether during the Cold Catastrophe or the unbearable heat now, it remained unchanged under the weathering of wind and sun.

Dong Tianyu did not know why he prefers using bicycles for transportation, even though various kinds of cars existed in his Shadow Space and he had sufficient survival points to transform these cars into magical devices or artifacts.

Even though the external temperature was unbearable for ordinary people, Dong Tianyu, for some reason, liked cycling around.

The idea of practicing controlling objects and wanting to fly on a sword was mere fantasy.
