At this very moment, Li Ye found himself speechless with astonishment.

On the deck of this mobile city, the goblins were busy, their movements synchronized and their training evident.

Combat Captain, Lookout, Helmsman, Mechanic, Artilleryman... all the specialized personnel that should be on a mobile city were present on this goblin mobile city!

It was also equipped with normal cannons and heavy machine guns, and Level 1 City Armor. It seemed a series of City Components had also been upgraded.

On the deck, the goblins, armed with rifles and rocket launchers, began their patrol under the leadership of the Combat Captain.

Near the mobile city, goblin convoys were also roaming.

This monster mobile city was surprisingly well-organized!

He couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Goblins were too outrageous as monsters, flying helicopters and operating mobile cities.

If things continued like this, maybe they'd be piloting giant robots next.

Not long after, this goblin mobile city gradually moved away.

After confirming the threat was gone, Li Ye ordered the Tomorrow to deactivate its City Camouflage.

While this item was useful, it consumed a lot of city energy. If they kept it active until dawn, their energy reserves would be depleted.

At this moment, many people on the Tomorrow had already been awakened by the commotion.

Upon learning that a monster mobile city had passed by, everyone was stunned.

"How is that possible? Aren't goblins the weakest Level 1 monsters?"

"This is too terrifying! You must be joking!"

Li Ye waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down.

"Actually, there's no need to be so surprised."

He said softly.

"After all, this world has long since ceased to belong to humans."

When Li Ye woke up again, it was already dawn.

He glanced at his watch, the time reading 5:36 AM.

"If nothing unexpected happened, the two convoys I sent out should be returning by now," he thought. "I wonder what kind of information they managed to gather."

He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

One off-road vehicle was equivalent to 250 units of Iron Ore. Coupled with the heavy machine gun, rocket launcher, and assault rifle it was equipped with, it started at 600 Iron Ore. Not to mention the three crew members in each vehicle.

If any vehicle met with an accident, it would be a significant loss.

Fortunately, to his relief, about ten minutes later, the two convoys returned successively, bringing back their respective findings.

First was Convoy One. According to the team members, they had discovered a survivor community of considerable size.

"Brother Li, this community is called Firefly," said one of the convoy members. "The people in the community initially mistook us for a survivor convoy and intended to give us supplies, but we politely declined."

"They're willing to provide supplies to outsiders?" Old Zhou asked in surprise. "That Firefly community seems pretty decent."

Li Ye nodded slowly.

There was scheming, but also mutual support.

This was the apocalypse.

"We also noticed that they only possessed ordinary firearms," another member added. "They were very interested in our assault rifles and rocket launchers, and even asked if we had any intention of selling them."

"Perhaps we can cooperate with them," Li Ye replied.

He could do contract manufacturing of firearms and rocket launchers for the Firefly community, earning some Crystal Coins and Iron Ore.

He never complained about small gains.

However, what surprised him was that Convoy One had stumbled upon the largest survivor community in the city by chance.

As for Convoy Two, Li Ye noticed that their off-road vehicle had quite a few bullet holes, clearly indicating they had been attacked.

And the convoy members brought back some explosive news.

On their way to the city center, they unexpectedly encountered the Crimson Hound on the outskirts.

This Predator City immediately opened fire with the heavy machine guns on its deck, even mobilizing multiple cannons to bombard them. Seeing the convoy gradually escaping, it directly deployed its lifting platform to drop the convoy and pursued them relentlessly.

The chase between the two parties lasted for a long time before it ended.

Due to the unexpected delay and the excessive consumption of Fuel, Convoy Two, after weighing the pros and cons, ultimately abandoned their plan to explore the city center.

They found a secluded street to spend the night, and as soon as dawn broke, they hurried back.

Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief and patted the convoy members on the shoulders.

"It's good that you're all safe. It doesn't matter even if you ran out of Fuel."

After all, a convoy consisted of two off-road vehicles and six people. If they had all been wiped out, he would have been heartbroken to the point of spitting blood.

At the same time, he also let out a melancholic sigh.

"I didn't expect the Crimson Hound to come here too. Talk about bad timing,"

But why would this Predator City come here?

After thinking for a moment, Li Ye quickly figured it out.

This city ruin was the central area of the Wasteland Zone. It was originally a city, and it still held many resources. Moreover, many convoys and Mobile Cities would come here.

Therefore, as a hunter, the Crimson Hound naturally followed.

Li Ye simply estimated the current gap between the Tomorrow and the Crimson Hound.

Now, with Level 1 Artillery and convoys equipped with Gale Rocket Launchers, the Tomorrow had the strength to fight this Predator City. At least they wouldn't have to choose to flee like last time.

It's just that the difference in the number of cannons between the two sides was too great. The Crimson Hound possessed twice the number of cannons as the Tomorrow, giving it an overwhelming advantage in strength.

Even worse, the Tomorrow's greatest weapon—the Frost Cannon—was running low on ammunition.

After attacking the Gross Mine last time, it only had 3 Frost Cannon shells left, and they hadn't been replenished.

He shook his head.

For a moment, he had the thought of quickly leaving this city ruin and heading straight for the giant forest.

Just then, Lin Xia's voice suddenly came from the watchtower.

"Attention! Three kilometers to the northeast, a Mobile City is heading our way!"

"What?"

Li Ye's expression changed.

Without time to think, he shouted urgently.

"All combat personnel of the Tomorrow, take your positions immediately! Normal Residents, take shelter at once!"

Immediately after, he quickly ran towards the watchtower.

The moment he picked up the binoculars, he clearly saw the Mobile City.

It was the Crimson Hound.

Looking at this Predator City, Lin Xia's face was pale, her lips tightly pressed together, her gaze fixed on it. The newcomers, who were originally residents of Roland Fortress, also had pale faces.

In less than a few days, their enemy had appeared.

The Crimson Hound had clearly also spotted the Tomorrow. It began to slowly accelerate and let out a whistle of two short and two long blasts.

"You have become the prey?"

Li Ye read its whistle, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Then let's see who is the prey and who is the hunter."
