Monster Mobile City

This time, a total of 1 normal, 1 excellent, 2 rare, and 1 exceptional intelligence reports were refreshed.

[1. There are a total of 16 survivor communities in the city. The largest community is named "Firefly" with a population of 372 people. (Intelligence Value: Normal)]

[2. On the western edge of the city, there is a train station occupied by monsters. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)]

[3. On the commercial street 25 kilometers to the northwest, there is an overturned oil tanker containing a total of 543 units of petroleum. (Intelligence Value: Rare)]

[4. A monster mobile city is patrolling the city, please be careful. (Intelligence Value: Rare)]

[5. The Level 1 Wild BOSS "Serene Lake Monster" has been subdued by Silent. (Intelligence Value: Exceptional)]

As usual, Li Ye began analyzing the intelligence reports.

First, the first one.

Communities.

These are common survivor gathering spots in city ruins.

Compared to the wilderness, city ruins are more suitable for human survival.

There are mainly three reasons.

First, quite a few supplies can be scavenged from city ruins.

Second, city ruins are filled with tall buildings and houses, making it easy for survivors to hide. When powerful monsters or foreign convoys and mobile cities invade their homes, they can use buildings and sewers for cover to conduct guerrilla warfare.

Third, well-preserved small factories, power stations, and other buildings in city ruins can be utilized by survivors to improve their living standards.

Survivor communities often section off an area, erect high walls and fences, cultivate crops on-site, and strive for self-sufficiency. Communities typically consist of people bringing their families, including not only young people but also the elderly and children.

The second intelligence report sparked some interest in Li Ye.

A train station occupied by monsters.

There might be several trains parked at the train station, and their carriages could be dismantled and smelted into iron ore.

This is much easier than painstakingly smashing concrete to extract steel rebar.

The third intelligence report brought Li Ye some joy.

An oil tanker with over 500 units of petroleum, and it's not far away.

Over 500 units of petroleum is equivalent to over 500 units of fuel. His convoy has just been built and is in urgent need of fuel. This time, it should last for a good while.

The fourth intelligence report left him dumbfounded.

What the heck is a monster mobile city?

Li Ye took a deep breath and rubbed his face vigorously, trying to calm himself down.

If interpreted literally, it could be understood as a Level 1 mobile city driven by monsters.

Just like the mobile cities driven by humans, it possesses city components, heavy machine guns, cannons, and its own combat personnel and convoys. It might even have Level 1 artillery and Level 1 heavy machine guns.

Li Ye couldn't help but take another deep breath.

He had already found it outrageous to see Goblins capable of piloting helicopters, and he never expected to encounter monsters capable of piloting mobile cities.

The fifth intelligence report made his expression change drastically.

A Wild BOSS had appeared in the Wasteland Zone again, but it had been subdued by a mobile city named "Silent."

Subdued.

Does this mean the Wild BOSS is like a subordinate, taking commands from Silent?

Li Ye's expression gradually became grave. He had witnessed the strength of Wild BOSSes before.

From this, it could be inferred that Silent, capable of subduing a Wild BOSS, must be even more terrifying.

For a moment, his sense of insecurity intensified.

After recalling all personnel back to the deck, Li Ye ordered Tomorrow to advance towards the northwest.

That street was rather secluded, and the road wasn't wide. They had to make a big turn to see it.

At the end of the street, an oil tanker was overturned.

Li Ye immediately dispatched people to collect the petroleum.

Concurrently, he sent out two convoys.

Convoy One was responsible for exploring the outer areas of the city ruins, while Convoy Two was responsible for exploring the central areas of the city ruins.

Li Ye instructed the convoy members to prioritize their own safety at all times. Their mission was to gather information, and they were only to open fire when absolutely necessary if they encountered enemies.

They were to return by 6 AM tomorrow at the latest, regardless of whether they had gathered any information.

Soon, the two convoys departed.

As for Tomorrow, it would remain stationed nearby for the time being, continuing its repairs.

Since he had nothing else to do, Li Ye decided to send out the residents again to continue collecting metal.

Although the amount of metal collected wasn't much, every little bit counts.

What Li Ye didn't expect was that even though this was the outskirts of the city ruins, and a peripheral area at that, there were still quite a few factions passing through.

Two Bounty Hunters, three Survivor convoys, and one Level 1 Mobile City.

The Bounty Hunters and Survivor convoys didn't dare lay a hand on the Tomorrow. They all cautiously kept their distance and hurried away.

The Level 1 Mobile City, however, was lurking restlessly in the distance.

But after noticing that the Tomorrow had Level 1 Artillery, the Mobile City quickly abandoned the idea and fled in a panic.

Only after the other party had gotten far away did Li Ye order the all-clear.

Time trickled by, and soon it was deep into the night.

Li Ye, who had been fast asleep, was awakened by a series of slight tremors.

In fact, ever since he had transmigrated here, he had been very sensitive to any disturbances as the leader.

After all, he now bore the responsibility of leading the entire Mobile City's population to survive, and he dared not slack off in any way.

Li Ye put on his clothes and quickly walked out of his room, heading up the ladder towards the Watchtower.

At this moment, there was no light in the entire Tomorrow; both the searchlights and the deck lights were turned off.

This was all Li Ye's arrangement.

In the darkness, a Mobile City with lit lights could easily attract enemies, whether they were monsters or humans.

Even though the lights were off, a combat team was still patrolling the deck, and a Helmsman remained on standby in the control room.

When Li Ye arrived at the Watchtower, he was surprised to find Lin Xia still awake.

"The sound is coming from the northeast, about 1 kilometer away. It's probably something big," she said, handing him the binoculars.

Li Ye nodded and took the binoculars, looking towards the northeast.

The silhouette of the big thing was massive, tens of meters tall, with a large bright spot and dozens of smaller bright spots on it.

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then he realized.

This was clearly a Mobile City!

The large bright spot was its searchlight, and the smaller bright spots were the lights on it.

"Should we prepare for battle now? No, the distance between both sides is too short right now," he muttered. "And there isn't enough time to get all the combat personnel in position."

He quickly aimed the megaphone on the Watchtower.

"Tang Fang, are you there?"

Ah Bai's voice came through the megaphone.

"Tang Fang is asleep. Is there something, Brother Li?"

"Now, activate the Tomorrow's City Camouflage immediately," Li Ye said softly.

"...Understood!"

As the City Camouflage activated, the Tomorrow instantly blended into its surroundings.

The next second, the other party's searchlight swept over.

However, it only illuminated a patch of old buildings.

"This thing is really useful," Li Ye couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Once again, the Tomorrow had escaped a disaster thanks to its City Camouflage.

While feeling fortunate, he glanced at the other party.

Since there was "no situation" ahead, the Mobile City didn't pay it much mind, changed direction, and entered another nearby street.

Using the binoculars and the lights on the other party's deck, Li Ye got a clear look at the Mobile City's appearance.

It was a Mobile City piloted by Goblins!
