Cave Refuge

Dong Tianyu, who had prepared in advance, stepped out of the stairwell and immediately closed the heavy door behind him.

At this moment, he could rely on Divine Sense to observe the surroundings, so his movements were not affected.

The biggest difference between the vision of Divine Sense and real vision, other than the color variation, is that within the range observed by Divine Sense, Dong Tianyu could overlook any buildings and see any area as if he were looking at a map in a game. No matter if there are any obstructions between the center of the two, he could clearly see the actual situation in the area of focus.

Real vision, when using sight, is different. Firstly, the view is obstructed by coverings, only allowing clear vision of areas without obstructions. However, real vision has no distance limitations; as long as there is no obstruction between the viewer and the object and the object is sufficiently large, theoretically, no matter how far apart they are, real vision could see it directly.

For the most physically relatable example, through Divine Sense vision one cannot see the sun suspended high in the sky, but through real vision, even an ordinary person could see the sun in the sky.

There were no other pedestrians on the streets at this time, and Dong Tianyu, walking alone, seemed to be wandering through a deserted city.

Because of the sudden electromagnetic pulse, the Magic Capital Base seemed to be paralyzed at this moment.

Normally, the defense of the Magic Capital Base relies on cross-patrolling by the city guards coupled with surveillance equipment to form a seamless defense network.

But at this moment, the electromagnetic pulse first disrupted electronic surveillance, and the sudden dazzling light rendered all the Patrol Team members responsible for defending the city blind.

Although wearing sunglasses could reduce the brightness, when the external sunlight reaches a certain intensity, even with sunglasses on, one could at most protect their eyes; however, when looking around, the view is still a white expanse.

So, Dong Tianyu couldn't judge the status of other bases, but at this moment, the Magic Capital Base is completely defenseless.

Although Dong Tianyu had guessed the current state of the Magic Capital Base, he had no intention of looting amidst the chaos or taking proactive defense measures.

The reason why Dong Tianyu would not loot was not only because he still had a moral bottom line, but most importantly, at this time, because of the existence of Storage Equipment, the vast majority of people would carry their valuables with them when facing danger.

Everyone was like NPCs in a game, essentially carrying all their belongings with them.

Some might criticize carrying all one's possessions, as in the event of an accident, the items carried would directly become the enemy's spoils.

If you think about it from another angle, in this era of frequent accidents, without a stable long-term residence, even if one has a long-term base.

But in this era where Transcendents are commonplace, the supplies stored at home not only could be stolen by other Transcendents but could also be lost or damaged due to some unforeseen accident.

Therefore, at this time, as long as most people get a hold of Storage Items, they would store valuable things in these items and carry them.

As previously mentioned, they would rather have their hard-earned supplies become another person's resources after their own deaths than be stolen and used by thieves or wasted due to accidental damage.

That's why even now, although the Imperial Court had offered many benefits to attract more population, there were still a group of people who would rather hide in the wilderness than move back into the city.

As the old saying goes, "Murder and arson bring riches in their train"; after experiencing the behavior of easy gains without labor, asking those people to work hard becomes a difficult task.

But another adage says, "Poverty breeds schemes, while wealth fosters benevolence."

When someone is so poor that they're on the verge of starvation, they will use any means necessary to ensure their survival.

But once they earn money, enough not only to meet daily survival needs but even to have substantial savings, they will start doing good deeds to satisfy their spiritual needs.

If they have experienced genuine, unprofitable gratitude from others, they will truly feel an indescribable sense of refreshment deep inside.

If it were before the Natural Disaster, Dong Tianyu would have taken advantage of the timing and strived to acquire a large amount of supplies by all means.

Just like in the early stages of the Natural Disaster, Dong Tianyu rushed to Logistics Park and the storage bases to search for supplies. Back then, although he couldn't be said to lack food or clothing, he didn't have much in the way of reserves either.

But now, Dong Tianyu's Storage space not only holds a variety of materials, but the Cave can also produce a steady stream of food ingredients.

So now, Dong Tianyu could be barely considered well-off. Because he is not lacking in money and supplies, he has no intention of looting the Magic Capital Base at this opportunity.

Although due to the prevalence of Storage Equipment, the vast majority of people carry valuable goods with them, Dong Tianyu could still manage to gather some items in the Magic Capital Base without much effort if he wanted to.

As there was no one else around and he had not set any specific goals when heading out, Dong Tianyu leisurely made his way to the vicinity of the base's city wall.
