The Scale of the Mobile City

"This cooperation was very pleasant." Li Ye shook hands with Scarface Man and handed him the Lord's Bracelet of the Crimson Hound. "Then, as agreed, this Mobile City is yours."

For the next period, Scarface Man led his companions in cleaning up the Crimson Hound. They used the Production Workshop to manufacture new treads and tires, and replaced them using the Mechanical Arms on the deck.

The people of the Firefly Community also packed their belongings and, with their families in tow, headed towards the Crimson Hound. They arrived on the deck via a Lifting Platform, looking at their new home with excitement.

As for the slaves on the Crimson Hound, the Firefly Community chose to accept them.

They also renamed the Crimson Hound to Firefly.

Li Ye fulfilled his promise and processed the Gale Rocket Launchers, Falcon Assault Rifles, Level 1 Off-road Vehicles, Instant Noodles, and Whole Wheat Biscuits for Scarface Man and his group.

Additionally, he handed over a bag of Blue Heart Potato Seeds and Morning Light Wheat Seeds.

Watching Scarface Man and his crew busily renovating the Firefly, he stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Compared to himself, the Firefly had a pretty good start. It possessed 8 Normal Cannons, 14 heavy machine guns, a Level 1 Off-road Vehicle, Falcon Assault Rifles and Gale Rocket Launchers, and 1 Level 1 Artillery.

As well as two Level 1 Crops.

Although several cannons and heavy machine guns were damaged during the battle, and the entire Mobile City was battered, it could be repaired and recovered in the future.

The Firefly Community had successfully seized this opportunity. How they developed from here on out was their own business.

"Oh right, I need to remind you all that 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. To the west are mountains, to the east is a Mobile Maze, to the north is a large Freshwater Lake, and to the south are canyons and swamps."

Scarface Man hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright, thank you for the reminder."

After saying goodbye, Li Ye led his people back to the Tomorrow, and they departed.

He was swamped with work: collecting spoils of war, arranging for the wounded to be cared for, and assigning Lin Wu to check the damage to various parts of the Tomorrow.

During this time, he suddenly remembered something and slapped his head as if waking from a dream.

"I almost forgot about that!"

He had been so busy fighting the Crimson Hound that he had forgotten to check his intelligence reports.

When Li Ye opened the intelligence panel, the Hourglass Pattern on the system had already turned into a single one, displaying a line of text.

[Cooldown complete.]

[2 days 15 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds until next intelligence refresh]

[Intelligence Count: 5]

"This intelligence refresh took a bit longer, so the quality should be much better. Perhaps there will even be an Epic Intelligence Report," Li Ye mused.

The Tomorrow couldn't just wait for two or three days; they had to find something to do.

Furthermore, Li Ye hoped that this intelligence could refresh some information about these City Ruins.

After all, he still hadn't figured out the situation of these City Ruins.

Currently, he only knew two pieces of information.

Goblins wandering in the city, and Mobile Cities.

The people of the Firefly Community had said that the city center was very dangerous.

The first thing the Tomorrow had to do was to digest the spoils of this battle and replenish its combat strength.

Since they couldn't figure out the situation within the City Ruins, it was very dangerous, and there might even be other Predator Cities around.

[2275 units of Iron Ore, 549 units of Wood, 936 units of Coal, 664 units of Fuel, 157 units of Saltpeter, 70 units of Gunpowder]

[2152 units of Freshwater]

[346 units of Copper Ore, 197 units of Silver Ore, 90 units of Gold Ore]

[18537 Crystal Coins]

[4 Normal Cannons, 8 Heavy Machine Guns, 6 Pistols, 10 Falcon Assault Rifles, 6 Gale Rocket Launchers, 2 Level 1 Artillery, 2 Level 1 Off-road Vehicles]

[13 Normal Cannonballs, over 700 Heavy Machine Gun bullets, 351 Falcon Assault Rifle bullets, 8 Rocket Rounds, 5 Lava Shells]

Li Ye looked at the list of supplies in front of him and nodded at Old Zhou.

"You've worked hard. Go and get some rest."

Actually, at first glance, he couldn't help but be surprised by the quantity.

Unknowingly, the Tomorrow had become so wealthy.

These resources were almost equivalent to the volume of a Survivor Town.

He couldn't help but nod with full confidence. As long as there were resources, the supplies consumed in battle could be replenished, and the Tomorrow could quickly recover its strength.

After some thought, Li Ye decided to build 2 Level 1 Off-road Vehicles first and equip them with personnel, Gale Rocket Launchers, and Falcon Assault Rifles to rebuild Team 1.

In the battle with the Crimson Hound, the importance of the convoy was self-evident.

It was equivalent to a frontline defense for the Tomorrow.

As long as the convoy existed, it could harass enemy Mobile Cities and block enemy convoy assaults.

Although they were at a numerical disadvantage at the start of the battle, the Tomorrow's convoy, with its Level 1 Off-road Vehicles and Level 1 Rocket Launchers, actually showed considerable advantage in the battle, destroying many enemy vehicles.

After finishing the Level 1 Off-road Vehicle, Li Ye added 6 more Combat Personnel, equipping them with Gale Rocket Launchers and Falcon Assault Rifles.

Since the Combat Personnel already had casualties, and now 6 were transferred to Team 1, the remaining Combat Personnel on the Tomorrow were very few.

Li Ye sighed and drafted 15 more from the Normal Residents to supplement them.

Although this would leave the Tomorrow short-handed for daily work, there was no other way.

Next, Li Ye spent 200 units of Iron Ore to manufacture 40 Level 1 Smoke Shells.

He had to admit, these Level 1 shells were incredibly practical.

They could be used to cover the convoy's advance or to shield the Mobile City's retreat.

Afterward, to bolster the Tomorrow's combat strength, Li Ye additionally built 2 Normal Cannons.

After all, in battles between Mobile Cities, a volley of Normal Cannons was considered the primary means of attack.

Although Level 1 Artillery possessed astonishing power, its manufacturing conditions were harsh, and a Mobile City could possess at most two or three.

In battle, a Mobile City often consumed dozens or even hundreds of cannon shells, not to mention countless bullets.

The battle between two Mobile Cities wasn't just about personnel quality and coordination, but also resources.

Li Ye spent another 500 units of Iron Ore to replenish a round of cannon shells, bullets, and rockets.

Looking at the fully stocked combat supplies before him, his mood eased slightly.

Now, even if a new Predator City attacked, the Tomorrow could face it with ease.

After a simple calculation, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

This back and forth had cost a full 1600 units of Iron Ore.

And it was all spent on replenishing combat resources.

But it was necessary.

After all, in the apocalypse, survival was the most important thing.
