When Li Ye reopened his eyes, it was already the next morning.

He quickly got dressed and left the room.

After a night of repairs by Lin Wu and the others, the tracks and tires of the Tomorrow were fixed.

Last night, Li Ye had also assigned another batch of normal residents to become combat personnel.

The new batch of bullets and artillery shells had also been replenished.

At Li Ye's command, everyone quickly assembled.

He nodded, then waved his hand.

"Set off, we're going to hunt the Crimson Hound!"

When the Crimson Hound's lookout saw the Tomorrow appear in their vision, they couldn't believe their eyes.

After looking again and confirming they weren't mistaken, they quickly shouted into the speaking tube.

"Target sighted, a mobile city, it's three kilometers to the northwest!"

Two minutes later, the Crimson Hound's convoy, one by one, descended to the ground via lifting platforms and quickly set off.

The Crimson Hound also began to accelerate slowly.

"Target is 2000 meters, 1900 meters, 1800 meters away."

Lin Xia reported urgently from the watchtower.

Li Ye was standing beside her, looking at the Crimson Hound in the distance with binoculars.

"It's about to enter the ambush zone. I assume the people from Firefly are ready too?" he said softly.

At this very moment, three hundred meters ahead of the Crimson Hound.

Scarface Man, leading his companions from the Firefly Community, was ambushed in the buildings and at the corners of the streets on both sides of the road.

In their hands, they held Gale Rocket Launchers and Falcon Assault Rifles issued by the Tomorrow.

"Listen up," Scarface Man said slowly. "When the target approaches, those with rocket launchers are responsible for bombing the tires and tracks, and those with assault rifles are responsible for shooting the machine gunners and artillerymen."

"This is our chance to get a mobile city." He spat on the ground and said fiercely. "No one can mess this up!"

The moment the Crimson Hound entered the ambush zone, Scarface Man and his companions poked their heads out from windows, doorways, and street corners of multiple buildings, and pulled the triggers of their weapons.

In an instant, overwhelming firepower swept over the Crimson Hound.

Several combat personnel, machine gunners, and artillerymen on the deck were shot and killed before they could even react.

Multiple explosions rocked the tires and tracks on both sides of the Crimson Hound, causing its speed to gradually decrease.

"This tactic really works!"

Li Ye was overjoyed at this sight.

Unlike the open wilderness, in the City Ruins, personnel familiar with the terrain could conduct guerrilla warfare against the enemy's Mobile City.

This tactic was indeed feasible.

After the initial shock, the Crimson Hound reacted quickly, dispatching new Combat Personnel to replace the heavy machine gunners and artillery crews, who then unleashed a barrage of fire towards the buildings on both sides.

Scarface Man and his companions were prepared. After their initial strike, they quickly retreated from their positions.

The buildings constructed from Concrete and Steel Rebar provided them with cover, and the heavy machine gun fire could not penetrate them.

However, the artillery was a different story. Shell after shell exploded within the buildings, and several members who couldn't retreat in time were engulfed by the explosions.

While the Crimson Hound was being tied down, the artillery on the Tomorrow launched a series of attacks against it.

The enemy convoy was firmly held back by Convoy Two, and with the supporting fire from the surrounding Firefly members, they found it even harder to escape.

From the very beginning, the battle had developed in a direction extremely unfavorable to the Crimson Hound.

The Crimson Hound attempted to turn the tide but felt as if it were stuck in a swamp.

On one hand, the distant Tomorrow was firing at it relentlessly.

On the other hand, the nearby enemies, using the buildings for cover, were firing at it from all directions. Its tires and tracks were severely damaged, and Combat Personnel on deck were being shot down one after another. These survivors fighting a guerrilla war were far more troublesome than the Tomorrow.

With another rocket-propelled grenade, the Crimson Hound's tracks and tires were completely destroyed, and it ground to a halt on the street.

This was immediately followed by a volley of fire from the Tomorrow, hitting it head-on.

Under the onslaught of fire from all directions, the enemies on the Crimson Hound fell one after another. The survivors retreated from the deck back into the rooms to continue their desperate resistance.

After more than an hour, the battle finally ended.

Under the assault of the Tomorrow and the Firefly Community, the Crimson Hound's leader, his trusted confidantes, and all its Combat Personnel were shot dead.

In addition, there were still twenty to thirty survivors on the Crimson Hound.

They were all slaves, each emaciated and haggard.

According to them, they had all been captured by the Crimson Hound from other Mobile Cities and towns. As slaves, they received very little fresh water and food daily and had to work day and night.

Li Ye and the Firefly Community chose to spare these slaves.

Following this, Li Ye eagerly began to tally his spoils from the Crimson Hound.

15,674 Crystal Coins.

2,452 units of Iron Ore, 1,623 units of Coal, 782 units of Fuel, 1,052 units of Wood, 534 units of Gunpowder.

2 Level 1 Artillery - Lava Cannons.

What surprised him even more was that he also found a Level 2 Item Blueprint.

[Black Hawk Helicopter - Blueprint]

[Item Name: Black Hawk Helicopter]

[Item Level: Level 2]

[Attached Effects: 1. Flight speed increased by 15% 2. Fuel consumption reduced by 20%]

[Crafting Requirements: 200 units of Iron Ore (Level 2), 50 units of Precision Flight Vehicle Parts (Level 2)]

"I didn't expect to get so much from taking down a Mobile City," he couldn't help but sigh. "No wonder there are so many Predator Cities, this harvest really makes one envious!"

Immediately after, he eagerly entered the Crimson Hound's Production Workshop.

As a Predator City, the Level 1 and common items on the Crimson Hound were very good.

After careful selection, he took more than half of the items from the Crimson Hound's Production Workshop.

The most valuable among them were:

Level 1 City Building - Water Tower, upgrade cost 300 Iron Ore, can store 6,000 units of fresh water.

Level 1 Item - Smoke Shell, crafting cost 5 Iron Ore, can create a large amount of smoke in the target area.

Level 1 Bulletproof Vest, manufacturing cost 20 units of Cloth, can effectively defend against Level 1 and below bullets.

Level 1 Whole Wheat Biscuit, manufacturing cost 0.5 units of Flour, attached effect is "provides an additional 10% nutrition".

Level 1 City Component - Mining Mechanical Arm, crafting cost 300 Iron Ore, can greatly improve mining efficiency.

Level 1 Artillery - Lava Cannon, crafting cost 300 units of Lava Iron Ore, 1 Lava Crystal, astonishing power.

And among the common items, there were also many good things, such as Iced Black Tea, Refrigerator, Electric Fan.

The remaining items were ones that the Tomorrow had already acquired, so he didn't take them, leaving them for the Firefly Community instead.

In addition, the Crimson Hound originally had two Lava Cannons. One was destroyed in the battle, and the other was intact. There were also 5 Lava Shells left in the warehouse.

This was an unexpected joy for Li Ye.

Moreover, the Tomorrow had already unlocked the Lava Cannon project, and as long as Lava Ore was found in the future, more could be manufactured.

The remaining Crystal Coins, Iron Ore, and other resources were divided equally between the two sides.
