After a rapid roar, the Crimson Hound began to accelerate in pursuit.

With several sharp whistling sounds, multiple artillery shells landed around the Tomorrow, causing a violent bombardment.

Most people on the Tomorrow were awakened, quickly grabbing their weapons and preparing to assemble.

"Li, are we preparing to counterattack?" Old Zhou's voice came through the intercom.

Li Ye thought carefully and quickly shook his head.

"No, we can't fight it. Have Tang Fang accelerate, and once we've created enough distance, activate the city camouflage."

He was well aware of the Crimson Hound's strength.

Combat personnel: 96. Four convoys, 8 Normal Cannons, 14 Normal Heavy Machine Guns, and over 120 various firearms.

And that's not counting the 2 Level 1 Artillery!

Moreover, he had personally witnessed the power of Level 1 Artillery not long ago.

With a dull whistling sound, an artillery shell exploded not far to the left of the Tomorrow.

Intense flames shot into the sky, and a fierce shockwave instantly swept across the entire Tomorrow, causing it to tremble slightly.

Li Ye's expression changed slightly.

There was no doubt that this power came from Level 1 Artillery.

If the Tomorrow were hit head-on, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Following a series of operations by Tang Fang, the Tomorrow began to gradually accelerate. The Crimson Hound followed closely behind, and the two mobile cities engaged in a chase across the wasteland.

During the chase, the Crimson Hound fired multiple times, its shells narrowly missing the Tomorrow.

Li Ye suddenly had an idea.

"Tang Fang, after memorizing the route ahead and planning it, turn off all lighting!"

A few seconds later, all the lights on the Tomorrow went out.

With a sharp turn, it disappeared under the Crimson Hound's searchlight.

A few minutes later, the Crimson Hound had completely lost track of the Tomorrow.

It continuously scanned the surroundings with its searchlight but could not find any trace of the other.

This predator city was quite stubborn; it even slowed down to deploy its four convoys and began searching in all directions at an accelerated pace.

It couldn't believe that this piece of fat meat had escaped right under its nose.

About half an hour later, the convoys returned from all directions, reporting that they had found nothing.

They had intended to track the Tomorrow by following tire and track marks, but this was a border area where many mobile cities passed through regularly, leaving behind numerous crisscrossing tire and track impressions.

The Tomorrow's tire and track marks were lost among them, making them impossible to trace.

After recalling the convoys, the Crimson Hound had no choice but to restart and slowly depart.

"Finally, it's gone."

Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the Tomorrow had blended seamlessly with the wasteland scenery.

To be safe, Li Ye waited for another half hour after the Crimson Hound had left before deactivating the city camouflage.

"Thanks to this Level 2 Item, the Tomorrow would have been finished this time," he thought sincerely.

He had to admit, this Level 2 Item was incredibly useful, whether for surprise attacks or escapes.

If there was one drawback, it was that it consumed a lot of energy.

From instant activation to an hour of continuous use, it had consumed a full 11% of its energy, which was enough for the Tomorrow to travel for two days.

"No wonder all Level 1 cities are so crazy about field bosses," he mused. "After all, who wouldn't want the Level 2 Item that drops from them!"

A new day arrived quickly.

The people on the Tomorrow began their daily work.

Lin Wu led a few people, starting a top-to-bottom inspection of the Tomorrow.

Old Zhou, meanwhile, led several companions on patrol.

At this moment, Li Ye was standing by the fields.

Today, the Blue Heart Potatoes had ripened and were ready for harvest.

Several residents were busy in the fields, harvesting the potatoes.

Li Ye casually picked one up to examine it. The Blue Heart Potatoes were about the same size as regular potatoes, but their skin and interior were a light blue.

He took a bite and found the taste to be slightly sweet.

This time, the Tomorrow harvested a total of 1563 units of Blue Heart Potatoes.

After the harvest, Li Ye instructed everyone to plant a new batch of Blue Heart Potatoes and also to sow the newly acquired Morning Light Wheat.

Morning Light Wheat had a longer maturity period than Blue Heart Potatoes, requiring a month. However, compared to normal crops, this was already quite fast.

Once the Morning Light Wheat matured, Tomorrow would be able to supply flour. Using the flour, they could make biscuits, bread, buns, and noodles.

Overall, Tomorrow's food supply could be considered self-sufficient.

But...

Li Ye stroked his chin and gently shook his head.

Currently, Tomorrow's food supply was still too scarce, with only wheat and potatoes.

He planned to purchase more Level 1 Crops to enrich their meals.

Not only that, but once Tomorrow had the conditions, they would also grow fruits and raise fish.

Incidentally, Li Ye had communicated with Conqueror and Azure, wanting to trade their respective Level 1 Crops.

However, upon inquiring, he discovered that everyone's Level 1 Crop was Morning Light Wheat, sold by Roland Fortress.

Generally, ordinary Level 1 Crops were priced between 500-1000 Crystal Coins.

Morning Light Wheat was more expensive because it was a staple food, capable of supporting more people than vegetables and fruits.

Li Jin and Lei Jian simultaneously took an interest in Tomorrow's Blue Heart Potatoes and wanted to make an offer to purchase them.

After all, potatoes were rich in starch and protein, making them a very filling food.

However, Tomorrow had just planted all its seeds, so Li Ye couldn't fulfill their request. He promised to sell them some seeds the next time they met.

As evening approached, a new batch of intelligence refreshed.

[1. 15 kilometers to the southwest, there is a survivor convoy temporarily docked for rest. The convoy has 17 people, sufficient supplies, and no Level 1 Blueprints, Level 1 Crops, or Level 1 Weapons. (Intelligence Value: Normal)]

[2. West of the Wasteland Zone is the Level 1 area "Large Basin Area," which requires a one-month journey to reach. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)]

[3. After days of pursuit, the Level 1 Mobile City "Vanguard" successfully defeated the two Level 1 Mobile Cities hunting it and successfully annexed their population, resources, and all items in their Production Workshops. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)]

[4. Roland Fortress is currently rife with conflict. Given that resources are about to be depleted, the radical faction has decided to consolidate all current resources, abandon three-quarters of the fortress population, and revert Roland Fortress to its mobile city mode. The conservative faction firmly opposes this, stating they will definitely find a way out. The lord of Roland Fortress possesses high prestige, allowing him to suppress the conflict between the two factions. However, his illness is severe, making it difficult for him to get out of bed. (Intelligence Value: Rare)]

[5. Tomorrow morning, a Spore Town will appear southeast of the Rotting Lands. This monster town is neutral, and any survivor can go to the town to interact with its residents and obtain its unique Level 1 Items. (Intelligence Value: Rare)]

Li Ye quickly scanned through the intelligence.

This time, there were no resources like mines or forests mentioned in the intelligence, but unexpectedly, the amount of information was substantial.
