"This cooperation has been very pleasant." Li Ye shook Scarface Man's hand and handed him the Crimson Hound's Lord's Bracelet. "Then, as agreed, this Mobile City is yours."
Over the following days, Scarface Man led his Companions in clearing out the Crimson Hound. They manufactured new track tires in the Production Workshop and replaced them using the Mechanical Arms on the deck.
The people of Firefly Community also packed their belongings and, with their families in tow, headed toward the Crimson Hound. They took the Lifting Platform to the deck, excitedly looking at the new home where they would live from then on.
As for the slaves aboard the Crimson Hound, Firefly Community chose to accept them.
They also renamed the Crimson Hound Firefly.
Li Ye honored his promise and processed Gale Rocket Launchers, Falcon Assault Rifles, Level 1 Off-road Vehicles, Instant Noodles, and Whole Wheat Biscuits for Scarface Man and the others.
In addition, he handed over a packet of Blue Heart Potato Seeds and Morning Light Wheat Seeds.
Looking at Scarface Man and the others working enthusiastically to renovate Firefly, Li Ye thoughtfully stroked his chin.
Compared with his own, Firefly had gotten off to a very good start. It possessed eight Normal Cannons, fourteen Heavy Machine Guns, Level 1 Off-road Vehicles, Falcon Assault Rifles and Gale Rocket Launchers, and one Level 1 Artillery piece.
It also had two Level 1 Crops.
Although several Cannons and Heavy Machine Guns had been damaged in the battle, and the entire Mobile City had been battered, it would recover after some repairs.
Firefly Community had successfully seized this opportunity. As for how they would develop in the future, that was their business.
"Right, I need to warn you about something. The entire Wasteland Zone will be destroyed in a little over two months." He said to Scarface Man, "You need to leave as soon as possible. There are mountains to the west, the Mobile Maze to the east, a large Freshwater Lake to the north, and canyon swamps or something like that to the south."
Scarface Man hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Fine. Thank you for the warning."
After saying goodbye, Li Ye led everyone back to Tomorrow and departed.
He had to collect the spoils of war, arrange for people to care for the wounded, and send Lin Wu to inspect the many damaged parts of Tomorrow. For a while, he was so busy that he could barely keep up.
During this time, he suddenly recalled something and slapped his forehead as if waking from a dream.
"I almost forgot about that!"
He had been busy fighting the Crimson Hound these past few days and had forgotten to check the intelligence.
When Li Ye opened the intelligence panel, the Hourglass Pattern on the system had long since turned into a single mark, displaying a line of text.
Cooldown complete.
2 days, 15 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds until the next intelligence refresh
Intelligence quantity: 5
"This intelligence refresh took a little longer than usual. I suppose the quality should be much better. Maybe there'll even be an Epic Intelligence Report." Li Ye pondered.
Tomorrow couldn't simply wait around for the next two or three days. They had to find something to do.
In addition, Li Ye hoped this intelligence refresh would reveal something about these City Ruins.
After all, he still had no idea what exactly was going on in these City Ruins.
At present, he only knew two things.
Goblins' Mobile Cities wandered through the city.
The people of Firefly Community had once said that the city center was extremely dangerous.
The first thing Tomorrow had to do was digest the spoils of war and replenish its strength.
Since they couldn't figure out the situation inside the City Ruins, this was extremely dangerous. There might even be other Predator Cities there.
2,275 units of Iron Ore, 549 units of Wood, 936 units of Coal, 664 units of Fuel, 157 units of Saltpeter, 70 units of Gunpowder 2,152 units of Freshwater 346 units of Copper Ore, 197 units of Silver Ore, 90 units of Gold Ore 18,537 Crystal Coins 4 Normal Cannons, 8 Heavy Machine Guns, 6 Pistols, 10 Falcon Assault Rifles, 6 Gale Rocket Launchers, 2 Level 1 Artillery pieces, 2 Level 1 Off-road Vehicles 13 Normal Cannonballs, over 700 Heavy Machine Gun rounds, 351 Falcon Assault Rifle rounds, 8 Rockets, 5 Lava Shells
Li Ye looked at the list of supplies before him and nodded at Old Zhou.
"Thanks for your hard work. Go get some proper rest."
Actually, he had been shocked by the quantity at first glance.
Without realizing it, Tomorrow had become this wealthy.
These resources were almost equivalent to the scale of an entire Survivor Town.
His confidence swelling, he nodded. As long as they had resources, they could replenish the supplies consumed in battle, and Tomorrow could quickly recover its strength.
After thinking it over, Li Ye decided to first build two Level 1 Off-road Vehicles and equip them with personnel, Gale Rocket Launchers, and Falcon Assault Rifles so that Team 1 could be rebuilt.
The importance of a convoy had been self-evident in the battle against the Crimson Hound.
It was equivalent to Tomorrow's forward line of defense.
As long as the convoy existed, it could harass enemy Mobile Cities and stop enemy convoys from launching assaults.
Although they had been outnumbered when the battle began, Tomorrow's convoy possessed Level 1 Off-road Vehicles and Level 1 Rocket Launchers. They had instead displayed considerable advantages in battle and destroyed quite a few enemy vehicles.
After building the Level 1 Off-road Vehicles, Li Ye added six combat personnel and equipped them with Gale Rocket Launchers and Falcon Assault Rifles.
Since there had already been casualties among the combat personnel, and six more people had now been transferred to Team 1, only a handful of combat personnel remained aboard Tomorrow.
Li Ye sighed and recruited fifteen more people from among the ordinary residents.
Although this would leave Tomorrow short-handed for its daily work, there was no other choice.
Next, Li Ye spent 200 units of Iron Ore to manufacture forty Level 1 Smoke Shells.
There was no denying that these Level 1 Shells were incredibly useful.
They could cover the convoy's advance and also cover a Mobile City's retreat.
Afterward, to replenish Tomorrow's combat strength, Li Ye built two additional Normal Cannons.
After all, in battles between Mobile Cities, a volley from Normal Cannons could be considered the primary means of attack.
Although Level 1 Artillery had astonishing power, its manufacturing requirements were harsh. A Mobile City could possess at most two or three pieces.
In battle, a Mobile City often consumed dozens or even hundreds of Shells. As for the bullets consumed, they were beyond counting.
When two Mobile Cities fought, they competed in more than just personnel quality, coordination, and cooperation. They also competed in resources.
Li Ye spent another 500 units of Iron Ore to replenish a batch of Cannonballs, bullets, and Rockets.
Looking at the neatly stacked combat supplies before him, his mood eased considerably.
Even if a new Predator City attacked now, Tomorrow could face it calmly.
After doing a quick calculation, he couldn't help shaking his head lightly.
In the end, he had spent a full 1,600 units of Iron Ore.
And every bit of it had gone toward replenishing combat resources.
But this was necessary.
After all, in the apocalypse, survival was the most important thing.
