Following the young man's suggestion, Li Ye changed his member name to Tomorrow.
"Welcome to our mobile city alliance," he said. "Then I'll be on my way, since I still need to carry out the lord's orders, searching the wilds for mobile cities and bringing them into the fold."
Watching his off-road vehicle disappear into the distance, Li Ye turned his attention to the A4 Communication Channel.
At that moment, the members in the channel were exchanging messages.
[Moonshadow: I've already explained the situation in the City Ruins to you all. It's extremely dangerous there, everyone should avoid this area when traveling.]
[Bronze Wanderer: Sincere thanks for the intel.]
[Vanguard: Yes, Bronze Wanderer and I have already avoided the City Ruins and chosen to take the western route to Serene Lake. Although it's mountainous and far, at least it's safe.]
[Echo: I just blew up a large monster town and unexpectedly harvested 125 units of Radiant Ore. Does anyone need it? I can bring it to you.]
[Vanguard: Radiant Ore? Then I'll trouble you to bring it to me. The price will be 35 Crystal Coins per unit. Also, if anyone else collects Radiant Ore, please bring it to sell to me. Much obliged.]
Li Ye then joined the conversation.
[Tomorrow: Hello.]
[Moonshadow: Oh, another new member. Welcome, welcome.]
[Bronze Wanderer: May I ask what your current strength is? How many Normal Cannons and Normal Heavy Machine Guns do you have? How many vehicles in your convoy? What Level 1 Weapons do you possess? Do you have any Level 1 Artillery or even Level 2 items?]
[Vanguard: Welcome to the group, Tomorrow. Please don't mind my brother's somewhat abrupt and direct questions. In fact, every member discloses this set of data when they join, myself included.]
[Tomorrow: It's fine, I understand. Currently, I have 6 Normal Cannons and 8 Heavy Machine Guns. My Level 1 Weapons are the Falcon Assault Rifle and the Gale Rocket Launcher. Additionally, I have 2 Level 1 Artillery pieces and a Level 1 Off-road Vehicle. As for Level 2 items, I don't have any.]
Li Ye slowly typed out this line on the screen.
At the same time, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He hadn't expected that the lords of Vanguard and Bronze Wanderer were brothers.
For now, joining this communication channel was extremely beneficial for Tomorrow, allowing it to gather intelligence and trade supplies.
Therefore, following the rules and disclosing combat data was necessary, but out of caution, Li Ye deliberately concealed the existence of City Camouflage to keep it as a trump card.
He couldn't fully trust this mobile city alliance.
After all, in the apocalypse, people's hearts are hard to fathom; the only person one should truly trust is oneself.
[Moonshadow: This new member's strength is quite impressive! They actually have a Level 1 Rocket Launcher and 2 Level 1 Artillery pieces. This strength is second only to the boss and Echo.]
[Echo: No, my combat power is mostly concentrated in artillery. In terms of overall strength, Tomorrow is second only to the boss.]
The "boss" they were referring to was probably Vanguard.
[Seagull: Which zone are you currently in?]
[Tomorrow: I'm currently in the outer area of the City Ruins. Moonshadow, you said it's dangerous here. Is it because there are Monster Mobile Cities and Monster Fortresses in the city center?]
[Moonshadow: No, it's far more than that. There's also a Predator City Alliance in the City Ruins, with at least six members. I advise you to leave that place immediately!]
Li Ye was startled upon hearing this.
There was actually a Predator City Alliance in the City Ruins? And with more than six members?
The thought that Tomorrow had been unknowingly traveling through this area sent a cold shiver down his spine.
[Moonshadow: The members of this Predator City Alliance name themselves after Tarot cards, like Death, Hanged Man, Chariot, and so on.]
[Vanguard: It was thanks to Moonshadow's warning that Bronze Wanderer and I decided to take a detour. By the way, Tomorrow, I should let you know that we're currently planning to head north to Serene Lake together and meet up at its edge.]
[Bronze Wanderer: Do you want to come along? Everyone except Seagull will be there.]
[Tomorrow: Yeah, I was actually planning to head to Serene Lake anyway. Speaking of which, why can't Seagull make it?]
[Echo: Because it's in the Mobile Maze to the east.]
Through Seagull's description, Li Ye roughly understood the situation of the Mobile Maze.
This Mobile Maze had giant walls that shifted periodically, generating new terrain.
Inside the Mobile Maze were some Mines, Oil Fields, Lumber Yards, as well as monster strongholds and towns.
There weren't many mobile cities roaming around there, and Seagull was managing well enough for now.
The only thing it regretted was discovering a Wild BOSS in the maze that it couldn't challenge with its current strength.
The other members in the communication channel could only sigh in resignation at this. Vanguard suggested that Seagull try to find other cities in the maze to cooperate with and see if they could take it down.
As he sighed, Li Ye suddenly remembered something and quickly typed on the screen.
[Tomorrow: Excuse me, have you encountered Azure or Conqueror? One is in the western part of the Wasteland Zone, the other in the southern part.]
[Vanguard: If it's the western part, Bronze Wanderer and I once encountered a red-painted mobile city. Its tracks were extremely special, allowing it to climb and travel among the mountains.]
[Vanguard: As for the southern part, I saw a mobile city heading towards the southern edge. I'm not sure if it was Azure.]
[Tomorrow: Thank you, that should be them. But by the way, what's the area south of the Wasteland Zone?]
[Vanguard: It's a Level 1 Zone called the Desert Zone. We initially planned to go there as a group, but considering the dry climate and lack of resources, we gave up on it.]
[Tomorrow: Alright, thank you very much for the intel.]
[Vanguard: Don't mention it. So, continuing our previous topic... based on everyone's current statistics, the number of mobile cities in the Wasteland Zone is around 60 or more, Level 1 Fortresses are 4 or more, and Survivor Towns are 70 or more. The total population of the entire Wasteland Zone is probably over 100,000.]
[Vanguard: As for the number of Level 2 Fortresses and Level 2 Mobile Cities, we haven't encountered any yet, so it's unknown for now.]
"So Vanguard is using the advantage of this alliance to start compiling data on the Wasteland Zone!" Li Ye was astonished.
However, due to the limited number of members and the fact that the entire Wasteland Zone hadn't been fully explored, the data they had come up with was very inaccurate.
In truth, the only one who knew the full situation of the Wasteland Zone was Li Ye himself.
