Ants Moving Home

Li Ye couldn't bear to tear his eyes away for even a moment.

High defense, amphibious, self-repairing, and with its own weapons.

This Tier 2 vehicle was simply amazing!

Most importantly, it was a finished product, ready to use as soon as it was redeemed.

If it were a blueprint, the Tomorrow wouldn't be able to build it anytime soon.

"No matter what, I have to redeem this Tier 2 item!" Li Ye thought to himself. "Speaking of which, this intel is really good."

In combat with enemy Mobile Cities, this Storm IFV would undoubtedly play an unimaginable role.

It could be deployed as a key combat force. Its high defense would allow it to advance under enemy machine gun and cannon fire, and its amphibious capabilities would make it even more flexible in combat.

Then he looked longingly at the Tier 1 items.

As expected of a neutral wilderness BOSS, the Tier 1 items it offered were far better than those from neutral caravans and monster towns.

The Tier 1 defensive structure, Goblin Fortress, only required 100 units of iron ore. A sturdy fortress could be built nearby using mechanical arms, equipped with heavy machine guns and cannons for defense. This would be very useful when a Mobile City wanted to defend a location and fight a positional battle.

The Tier 1 firearm, Goblin Bandit Machine Gun, required 60 units of iron ore to craft. It was incredibly lethal when sweeping Zombie Hordes and monsters—but it was still slightly inferior to a heavy machine gun.

Not to mention the Tier 1 City Sails and Tier 1 Steam Ballista, and this time it even offered blueprints for Tier 1 cannons.

As for Tier 1 Alloy and Tier 1 Mineral Vein Crystals, these were all things Li Ye wanted.

While coveting them, Li Ye couldn't help but sigh.

These things were valuable, but also quite expensive.

Especially the Storm IFV, which required a full 28,000 contribution points.

Sir Henry even reminded him with a smile that the open period was only 3 days.

Li Ye was overwhelmed for a moment.

When he was in Spore Town, he worked his butt off for three days and only managed to accumulate about eight or nine thousand contribution points. How could he possibly scrape together 28,000?

"Ah, if I can't get enough, then I'll try to redeem Tier 1 Alloy first," he sighed.

After all, Tier 1 Alloy was the material needed to advance to a Tier 2 city.

As he left, Li Ye glanced at the wilderness BOSS with concern.

Without a doubt, others would soon discover this wilderness BOSS and frantically collect coins and artwork.

But the Storm IFV project was only open to him alone by Sir Henry, so there were no competitors.

However, Li Ye's pressure was also considerable, as he needed to gather 28,000 contribution points in 3 days.

The situation in this city ruin was complex, with Goblin forces and the Predator City Alliance, as well as many lone wolf Mobile Cities, survivor convoys, bounty hunters, and communities.

With too many wolves and not enough meat, the competition would become extremely fierce. Everyone would fight tooth and nail to collect coins, even to the point of bloodshed.

Li Ye didn't even think about being able to redeem one or two other things, only hoping to get whatever he could.

After returning to the Tomorrow, Li Ye immediately gathered everyone.

Except for the helmsman and lookout, everyone else was mobilized to search the city ruins for Goblin Coins and valuable artwork.

With the arrival of Sir Henry, the wilderness BOSS, a large number of Goblin Coins were scattered throughout the city.

These coins were about the same size as human currency, but the image printed on the front was a Goblin wearing a top hat, smiling and showing a mouthful of big white teeth.

As for valuable artwork, these were things like famous paintings, antiques, and collectibles. No one cared about these things in the apocalypse, let alone collected them specifically.

But now, they had become particularly valuable.

Li Ye sent out all the manpower he could muster to pick up Goblin Coins in the nearby streets and alleys.

The No. 1 and No. 2 convoys were dispatched to search the city for buildings like museums and galleries, to see if they could find valuable artwork.

An hour later, Li Ye inventoried the current harvest.

The number of Goblin Coins scattered in the city was decent. You could find one or two every few minutes. If you were lucky, you could find a Goblin Pouch, which would give you 5-10 Goblin Coins when opened.

Currently, Li Ye had obtained a total of 58 Goblin Coins. As for the No. 1 and No. 2 convoys, they found a rusty knight's helmet in a rich man's villa.

A member rode a motorcycle to Sir Henry and exchanged it for 50 Goblin Coins.

Li Ye frowned slightly.

At a rate of fifty or sixty Goblin Coins per hour, plus reliably finding one piece of artwork, it would be great to have 100 Goblin Coins coming in per hour.

If the manpower was divided into 3 shifts, working 24 hours a day, then at most 7200 Goblin Coins could be collected in three days.

This was assuming that a piece of artwork could be reliably found every hour. In reality, he would get even fewer Goblin Coins.

What made him even more upset was that, according to information gathered by the No. 1 and No. 2 convoys, many people in the city had already discovered Sir Henry, and the news was gradually spreading.

According to the convoy members, the convoys, Mobile Cities, and bounty hunters they saw along the way had already begun frantically searching for coins and artwork.

Li Ye's expression became serious.

If he thought about it carefully, the "Tarot" Predator City Alliance was undoubtedly the most advantageous among these competitors.

They had a full 7 Predator Cities here, with ample manpower and supplies, and could freely search for coins, attack Goblin strongholds, and destroy Goblin Mobile Cities and fortresses.

Most of the good stuff Sir Henry sells will just get snatched up by them.

Three hours later.

Li Ye dejectedly counted the Goblin Coins he had managed to collect.

Only 143.

And his luck had been terrible during this time; he hadn't found a single piece of art.

In addition, Vehicle Team Two, which had gone out scavenging, brought back some news.

The Goblin Fortress standing in the city had fallen, and that Goblin Mobile City had been destroyed as well.

"That must be the Tarot Alliance's doing," Li Ye said.

For the Predator City Alliance, when they work together, something like that is ridiculously easy.

They not only get iron ore, coal, fuel, and other resources from the fortress and Mobile City, but they also get a total of 4,000 contribution points as a reward, which is enough for them to exchange for two or three Tier 1 items.

Plus, the Goblins, fortresses, machine gun nests, and artillery positions they destroy in the battle will earn them a large amount of contribution points.

Just as Li Ye was sighing in despair, a voice sounded from behind him.

"Perhaps, we have a chance to scrape together 28,000 contribution points."

Li Ye turned around and saw that it was Lin Wu.

"It seems you already have an idea. You might as well tell me about it," he raised an eyebrow.

Lin Wu reached out and adjusted his glasses, saying softly, "The method I've thought of... is moving house like ants."
