Chapter 97 Arrival in South Korea
Chapter 97 Arrival in South Korea
After a disaster, all drivable vehicles, whether they survived the damage caused by the EMP or were repaired by individuals afterward, should be taken into account.
All the vehicles that could be driven were assigned to the government for use. So even if Dong Qi encountered other vehicles on his journey, without exception, those vehicles belonged to the government of North Korea.
More importantly, at this point in time, the drivers in the same area generally know each other.
This is precisely why Dong Qi, this unfamiliar driver, immediately attracted the attention of the North Korean authorities upon his appearance.
After learning that an unfamiliar driver was driving a car without license plates on the road.
The North Korean government did not connect Dong Qi to the fact that he had smuggled himself over from the Great Xia, but simply and crudely assumed that Dong Qi was a car thief.
After all, during this special period, it's unthinkable that a complete stranger, someone no driver recognizes, is driving a vehicle without license plates on the road.
In the eyes of the North Korean government, Dong Qi's behavior was no different from that of a car thief. After all, all vehicles in North Korea were now under the control of the government and no private individuals were allowed to control them.
However, although the North Korean government had already identified Dong Qi as a car thief, due to EMP, most of the communication equipment on the North Korean side, like that on the Great Xia side, was basically paralyzed and unusable.
Some special communication devices that still retained their communication capabilities at this time, although North Korea had some, were few in number and were mostly controlled by high-ranking officials within the North Korean government.
For a small case like car theft, it's impossible to use valuable communication equipment to contact the thief.
So, during Dong Qi's journey across North Korea, he was constantly spotted by others and even reported by drivers he encountered along the way.
However, because Dong Qi kept moving forward without stopping to rest, the North Korean authorities along the way, although aware of the matter, had no energy to pursue and capture him.
Although all vehicles in North Korea were assigned to the local government for use, the number of usable vehicles was small because most of them were already broken down.
Therefore, as long as each vehicle is able to drive normally, it is basically performing various important tasks, and no vehicle is idle.
So even though they identified Dong Qi as a car thief, they only told all the drivers after Dong Qi left that if they encountered a car thief in the future, they could force him to stop if conditions allowed, and if the car thief resisted, they could shoot him dead.
It should be noted that since all vehicles were now under the jurisdiction of the local government, the government cherished them greatly. In addition to the necessary driver, each vehicle was also equipped with an armed security guard who accompanied the driver throughout the journey, just in case.
Of course, Dong Qi himself was unaware of the warrant issued by the North Korean government for his arrest.
When Dong Qi actually entered North Korea, he discovered that North Korea was not as backward as he had imagined, and the main road he was traveling on was a wide and clean asphalt road.
Although Dong Qi couldn't understand the North Korean script on the signs, he could still understand the road map on the signs.
At this point, as long as Dong Qi ensures that he is not veering off course, he doesn't need to find someone familiar with the roads to guide him; he can simply continue along the main road.
Since Dong Qi had no intention of causing trouble in North Korea, he relied on a rough map of Asia and the compass in his hand.
Dong Qi actually crossed North Korea directly along the main road and successfully reached the border line between North and South Korea.
Perhaps because both countries were constantly attacked by mutated marine creatures, the number of troops guarding the border was not large and the management was very lax.
Even before Dong Qi got close, he could see that the border line, which should have been heavily guarded, was now being rested in the guard post.
Those who crossed the border and traveled between North and South Korea were not expelled or even acknowledged.
When Dong Qi drove over, the guard in the post only raised his eyelids briefly to glance at Dong Qi's car before closing his eyes to rest again.
Seeing this situation, Dong Qi was at a loss for words. After all, according to his online research, there should be irreconcilable conflicts between the people of North and South Korea.
In Dong Qi's view, when the two sides meet, they should target each other, and such a harmonious situation should not occur.
However, Dong Qi immediately realized that apart from those high-ranking officials and extremists in the public, for the vast majority of ordinary people, especially those living near the border, it was a different story.
The people on both sides speak the same language and have similar living conditions. They often meet occasionally and even exchange goods.
Therefore, unless there is a deep-seated blood feud between them, the two sides will not exhibit that kind of exaggerated hostility and hatred.
Dong Qi never expected that he would cross the border so easily again and enter South Korea so smoothly.
Having experience in North Korea, Dong Qi didn't worry too much after entering South Korea.
When Dong Qi left Kyoto, he had already marked the area where the mold base was located on the map. Although it was just a general location, the mold base stationed there must be quite large.
Therefore, Dong Qi doesn't need to know the exact location. As long as he arrives in the general area, finding the body of the mold base will be a piece of cake.
Just as Dong Qi guessed, the mold base stationed in South Korea was not a hidden area.
When Dong Qi was still quite a distance away, he saw the exact location of the mold base on the road signs.
Although Dong Qi still couldn't understand the South Korean script, he could easily understand the simple icon drawn on the sign.
Following the directions indicated by the signs on the road, Dong Qi easily found the area where the mold base was located.
However, when Dong Qi actually arrived at the area where the mold base was located, he was surprised to find that the mold base was now covered with plants that resembled seaweed.
Although these plants were only about one meter tall, after Dong Qi observed them carefully for a while, he was surprised to find that there were quite a few small mutated marine creatures hidden among them.
Just as Dong Qi was somewhat surprised by what he was seeing, he looked around and inadvertently discovered a group of ragged people slowly approaching the mold base.
