World-Class Organizations in the Wasteland

Sir Henry grinned, then displayed the item exchange list.

Li Ye focused his gaze and saw that the level 2 work claws and level 1 items had already been completely exchanged. Only 352 units of level 1 alloy remained, and only 1 Vein Crystal was left.

Resources like iron ore, wood, coal, and fuel were all at zero. Even ordinary items were completely gone.

"These guys are really ruthless!" He couldn't help but twitch his lips.

These exchange items were far from enough to distribute among the people of a city.

Li Ye was only fortunate that the Storm IFV was exclusively available to him; otherwise, it would be gone too.

Last night, members of Team 1 brought news.

Two mobile cities had malicious intentions and wanted to kill Sir Henry.

This was normal, as Sir Henry was also a wild BOSS. Killing him would not only grant all his exchange items but also the usual loot dropped by wild BOSSes.

But according to convention, neutral monster caravans and neutral monster towns are very powerful, let alone neutral wild BOSSes.

Team 1 had witnessed Sir Henry's combat power firsthand.

Sir Henry possessed extremely high defense, unimaginable speed, and his weapon was a wrench.

"Oh, I knew you bunch of brats were up to no good!" it shrieked, waving the wrench and charging forward. "I'll show you what I'm made of!"

It quickly circled the chassis of one of the mobile cities, and all the tires and tracks of that mobile city were removed. Then, Sir Henry spun around on the deck a few times, and the city's armor, watchtower, cannons, and heavy machine guns were all dismantled.

By the time Sir Henry landed on the ground and clapped its hands, the entire mobile city had been reduced to a pile of small parts.

The other mobile city didn't escape its fate either.

"..."

Li Ye was completely dumbfounded.

He finally understood why even the Tarot Alliance didn't dare to kill this neutral BOSS; it was indeed a ruthless character that couldn't be provoked.

In terms of its combat power, killing Sir Henry was achievable, but in the battle, several mobile cities would definitely be dismantled into parts.

Li Ye immediately had the 23 pieces of art brought over and placed in front of Sir Henry.

As Sir Henry perked up its ears, full of vigor, and began to appraise the artworks, Li Ye looked at one of them and couldn't help but frown.

"This counts as art?"

That piece of art was actually a banana taped to the wall.

The banana was real, and due to the passage of time, it had rotted beyond recognition.

Among these artworks, the cheapest was a replica of a modern coin, worth 30 Goblin Coins.

The most expensive artwork was a medieval impressionist oil painting, worth 3500 Goblin Coins.

In the end, the 23 pieces of art sold for 12,535 Goblin Coins.

"Still two thousand short." Li Ye frowned.

The competition had reached the final sprint.

What made him anxious was that the area within dozens of miles had been searched clean. Searching further would reduce efficiency.

Just then, Team 2, which he had sent out earlier, returned.

After digging in the museum ruins all night, they found a mummy buried in a coffin.

Sir Henry immediately rushed over ecstatically and offered the highest price of 5,000 Goblin Coins.

Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, his contribution points had reached 31,163.

He quickly exchanged for the level 2 vehicle and used the remaining contribution points to exchange for 1 Lava Crystal and 100 units of level 1 alloy.

"This time, I've really made a killing!" He couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Just as Li Ye was admiring the Storm IFV with great enthusiasm, Can Opener and the other two community leaders appeared behind him.

"We have fulfilled our obligations, and now it's your turn to pay your reward."

Can Opener said slowly.

Seeing that Li Ye's hands were empty, the three of them frowned even more.

Li Ye calmly met their gaze.

"The reward I'm paying you is information."

"What?"

"In about sixty or seventy days, the entire Wasteland Zone will be completely destroyed." Li Ye said slowly. "You need to mobilize manpower as soon as possible, form a convoy, and leave this area."

Amidst the three people's shocked and suspicious gazes, he continued to speak.

"The northern part of the Wasteland Zone is Freshwater Lake, covering an area of 20%. Crossing Freshwater Lake will lead to the level 2 area - Eternal Night Zone."

"The eastern part is a mobile maze that occupies 17% of the area."

"The western part is a mountain range that occupies 21% of the area. Crossing the western part will lead to the level 1 area Basin Area, which is about a month's journey."

"To the south lie the Rotting Lands, Thunder Canyon, and so on. Crossing the south will lead to the Tier 1 Desert Zone."

As Li Ye meticulously shared the information, Can Opener and the others pondered for a moment before gently nodding.

Exchanging a day's worth of labor from the entire community for this information was not a bad deal. Moreover, Li Ye would also process Tier 1 items for them free of charge and gift them Tier 1 crop seeds.

Li Ye originally thought they would be skeptical, but he didn't expect them to believe him so quickly, which surprised him.

As if guessing his thoughts, Can Opener slowly spoke.

"The Wasteland Zone is already rumored to be on the verge of destruction. It's just that no one knows exactly how many days until it will be destroyed, or the regional distribution of the Wasteland Zone."

"What?" Li Ye immediately asked, "Who spread the news?"

The Apocalypse Church.

Li Ye learned the name of this religious organization from the three of them.

According to Can Opener, this church had an extremely large influence, with followers everywhere, making it a world-class organization.

And what they worshiped were the Wasteland Gods.

Li Ye's expression couldn't help but become serious.

This was the first time he had learned of such a behemoth's existence.

As for the Wasteland Gods, just hearing the name made it clear that these things were definitely not benevolent.

At the same time, a huge question arose in his mind.

How did the Apocalypse Church know about this news?

In the following time, the three communities lined up, handing over the metal they had saved and the iron ore they had collected to Tomorrow, to be processed into the Tier 1 weapons and off-road vehicles they needed.

The three leaders began to prepare the convoy, inventory community supplies, and prepare to depart in two or three days.

Their communities usually had vehicles, but they were just ordinary vehicles such as buses, vans, and trucks. Now, with the Tier 1 off-road vehicles and weapons processed by Tomorrow, they had some guarantee during the evacuation.

During this period, the three communities also brought bags of flour, asking Tomorrow to process them into instant cup noodles and whole-wheat biscuits for long-term storage, in case of emergency during the journey.

After a busy day, everything finally came to an end.

"Farewell."

Li Ye shook hands with the three leaders one by one.

Just as he was about to leave, Can Opener hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"Seems like your mobile city is short on people?"
