Sir Henry grinned, then displayed the item exchange list.
Li Ye took a close look and found that the Level 2 Work Claws and Level 1 Items had all been exchanged. There were only 352 units of Level 1 Alloy left, along with a single Vein Crystal.
Resources such as Iron Ore, wood, coal, and fuel were all at zero. There were no ordinary items left, either.
"These guys are really ruthless!" He couldn't help twitching at the corner of his mouth.
These exchange items were nowhere near enough to distribute among an entire city.
The only thing that reassured Li Ye was that the Storm IFV was available exclusively to him. Otherwise, it would have been gone, too.
Last night, the members of Team 1 had also brought back some news.
Two Mobile Cities had developed malicious intentions and wanted to kill Sir Henry.
That was normal enough. After all, Sir Henry was also a Wild BOSS. Killing him would not only yield all of his exchange items, but also the loot normally dropped by a Wild BOSS.
However, according to convention, neutral Monster Caravans and neutral monster towns were extremely powerful, let alone a neutral Wild BOSS.
Team 1 had witnessed Sir Henry's combat strength with their own eyes.
Sir Henry possessed extremely high defense and unimaginable speed. His weapon was a wrench.
"Oh, I knew you little bastards were up to no good!" it shrieked as it brandished its wrench and charged forward. "I'll show you what I'm capable of right now!"
It swiftly circled the undercarriage of one of the Mobile Cities. All of that city's wheels and tracks were removed. Sir Henry then spun around the deck a few times, stripping away the City Armor, Watchtowers, artillery, and Heavy Machine Guns.
By the time Sir Henry landed on the ground and dusted off its hands, the entire Mobile City had been reduced to a pile of parts.
The other Mobile City also failed to escape disaster.
"."
Li Ye was completely dumbfounded.
He finally understood why even the Tarot Alliance didn't dare kill this neutral BOSS. It really was a vicious character that no one could afford to provoke.
Given its combat strength, killing Sir Henry was certainly possible, but several Mobile Cities would inevitably be dismantled into parts during the battle.
Li Ye immediately had the 23 Artworks brought over and placed them in front of Sir Henry.
As Sir Henry perked up and raised its ears, excitedly appraising the Artworks, Li Ye looked at one of them and couldn't help frowning.
"This counts as an Artwork?"
That Artwork was, astonishingly, a banana taped to a wall with duct tape.
The banana was real. After sitting there for so long, it had already rotted beyond recognition.
Among the Artworks, the cheapest was a replica modern coin worth 30 Goblin Coins.
The most expensive was a medieval Impressionist oil painting worth 3,500 Goblin Coins.
After some back-and-forth, the 23 Artworks sold for 12,535 Goblin Coins.
"We're still short by two thousand." Li Ye frowned.
The competition had reached its final sprint.
What made him anxious was that everywhere within dozens of kilometers had already been searched thoroughly. If they went any farther, their search efficiency would drop.
Just then, Convoy Two, which he had sent out earlier, returned.
After digging through the ruins of a museum all night, they had found a mummy buried in a coffin.
Sir Henry immediately charged over in wild excitement and offered the highest price: 5,000 Goblin Coins.
Li Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
His contribution had now reached 31,163 points.
He quickly exchanged it for that Level 2 Vehicle, then used the remaining contribution to exchange for one Lava Crystal and 100 units of Level 1 Alloy.
"This time, I've really struck it rich!" He couldn't help feeling wildly excited.
Just as Li Ye was examining the Storm IFV with undisguised affection, Can Opener and the other two community leaders appeared behind him.
"We've fulfilled our obligation. Now it's time for you to pay us."
Can Opener spoke slowly.
Seeing Li Ye empty-handed, the three of them frowned even more deeply.
Li Ye calmly met their gazes.
"The payment I'm giving you is information."
"What?"
"In about sixty or seventy days, the entire Wasteland Zone will be completely destroyed." Li Ye spoke slowly. "You need to gather your people as soon as possible, form a convoy, and leave this zone."
Under the three men's shocked and skeptical gazes, he continued.
"The northern part of the Wasteland Zone is a Freshwater Lake, covering 20% of the area. After crossing the Freshwater Lake, you'll reach the Level 2 Zone—the Eternal Night Zone."
"The east is a Mobile Maze covering 17% of the area."
"The west is a mountain range covering 21% of the area. Crossing the west will bring you to the Level 1 Zone, the Basin Area. The journey will take roughly a month."
"The south is the Rotting Lands, Thunder Canyon, and so on. Crossing the south will bring you to the Level 1 Zone, the Desert Zone."
After Li Ye explained the information in full, Can Opener and the other two pondered for a moment before nodding lightly.
Considering that the entire community had to work for a day, exchanging that effort for this information was not a bad deal. Besides, Li Ye would also process Level 1 Items for them free of charge and give them Level 1 Crop Seeds.
Li Ye had originally expected the three men to be suspicious, but he hadn't expected them to believe him so quickly. He couldn't help feeling surprised.
As if guessing what he was thinking, Can Opener spoke slowly.
"In fact, there have already been rumors that the Wasteland Zone is about to be destroyed. It's just that no one knows exactly how many days remain, or how the Wasteland Zone is laid out."
"What?" Li Ye immediately pressed him. "Who spread the news?"
"The Apocalypse Church."
Li Ye learned the name of this sect from the three men.
According to Can Opener, this sect possessed tremendous influence, with believers everywhere. It was a world-class organization.
And what they worshiped were the Wasteland Gods.
Li Ye's expression grew solemn.
This was the first time he had learned that such a colossal power existed.
As for the Wasteland Gods, one could tell from the name alone that those things were definitely not benevolent.
At the same time, a huge question arose in his heart.
How had the Apocalypse Church learned this news?
Over the following period, the three communities formed long queues, handing over the metal they had accumulated and the Iron Ore they had collected to Tomorrow, which processed them into the Level 1 Weapons and Off-road Vehicles they needed.
The three leaders began making frantic preparations for the convoy, taking inventory of their community supplies and preparing to set out in two or three days.
Their communities had vehicles in normal times, but they were merely ordinary vehicles such as buses, vans, and trucks. Now that they had Level 1 Off-road Vehicles and weapons processed by Tomorrow, they had at least some protection during the evacuation.
During this time, the three communities also brought over bags of flour and had Tomorrow process them into Instant Noodles and Whole Wheat Biscuits for long-term storage and use during the journey.
Everything was finally finished after more than half a day of work.
"Until we meet again."
Li Ye shook hands with the three leaders one by one.
Just as he was about to leave, Can Opener hesitated for a while before speaking.
"Your Mobile City seems to be rather short on people, doesn't it?"
Before you continue
