Three Predator Cities?!

"Yes, what is it?" Li Ye turned around.

After some discussion, he understood what the three leaders meant.

Their communities usually consisted of two to three hundred people, but the number of vehicles in the convoy was limited, and they needed to carry living supplies, weapons, firearms, food, fresh water, and fuel.

The convoy had limited space and couldn't take everyone.

Therefore, the three leaders hoped that Tomorrow could recruit some people from their respective communities to take with it.

Although they said the words, the three of them looked extremely reluctant.

Everyone had lived under the same roof for so long, trusting and relying on each other. The sudden separation was really hard to accept.

But sometimes, in order to survive, one has to make choices.

Li Ye thought for a while, then nodded.

"Alright."

Right now, Tomorrow was short on manpower, whether it was combat personnel or ordinary residents engaged in city work.

According to the usual practice, Li Ye recruited more than 70 new people in one go.

Since the number of people recruited this time was far more than before, even exceeding the current number of people on Tomorrow, he changed some of the recruitment conditions.

In addition to lone wolves, every three people could bring a child, an elderly person, a disabled person, or a pregnant patient into Tomorrow.

The reason for doing this was to tie down these newcomers. Only by making them bring their families could they better serve Tomorrow.

Otherwise, Li Ye wouldn't really feel comfortable letting so many new people in at once.

After saying goodbye to the community, the newcomers entered Tomorrow with their families.

Looking at the several cannons and heavy machine guns on Tomorrow, the parked convoys, the level 1 weapons equipped by the combat personnel, the two level 1 cannons on the deck, and the level 1 crops planted in the fields and orchards, the worries in many people's hearts were dispelled a lot, and they were replaced by surprise.

As a level 1 city, Tomorrow's strength was quite good, which added a lot of security to their hearts.

With a roar, Tomorrow set off.

Arranging rooms, assigning work, selecting combat personnel, distributing food and fresh water, and manufacturing and distributing ordinary furniture in the production workshop...

In the next few hours, Li Ye and his deputy, Old Zhou, were extremely busy.

"It's too tiring, Li, I really can't do this!" Old Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead. "To be honest, I just want to focus on being a combat captain and charging ahead."

"How can that work?" Li Ye replied while distributing furniture. "Besides you, who else would I trust to be my deputy?"

"What do you think of Lin Wu?" Old Zhou asked tentatively.

Li Ye then stroked his chin.

Objectively speaking, Lin Wu was both a technical talent and very smart, and he could indeed be his deputy.

He was disabled and sick, and he also had the weakness of his friend and sister, so he couldn't leave Tomorrow.

Moreover, Lin Wu's performance had indeed been good during this period, and Li Ye had gradually developed trust in him in his heart.

"Okay, I'll think about it carefully." He nodded.

In the following time, Li Ye spent 300 iron ore to upgrade the water tower to level 1.

In this way, it could store an additional 3,000 units of fresh water.

After all, the number of people on Tomorrow had now reached 142, and the demand for water had increased sharply.

Now, a brand new problem was placed in front of Li Ye.

With the increase in the number of people, Tomorrow should also improve its living standards.

Currently, the staple food on Tomorrow was Blue Heart Potatoes, which were harvested once a week.

In a few days, Morning Light Wheat would also mature, and then Tomorrow would have pasta available.

And in another two weeks, the Sun Apples on the upper level would also mature in batches.

As for drinks, there were cola and iced black tea.

In addition, Tomorrow would occasionally purchase vegetables, meat, and eggs from passing survivor towns.

If it were on Earth, these supplies would seem a bit shabby, but in the apocalyptic environment, they were quite good.

But Li Ye's ideas went far beyond that. He planned to build a vegetable garden and raise poultry and fish, striving to have a daily supply of vegetables, meat, and eggs on Tomorrow.

However, the space on a level 1 mobile city was limited, and there was not much space left for raising ordinary poultry and fish or planting ordinary vegetables.

Just as Li Ye was thinking, an alarm suddenly came from the watchtower—in order to easily alert all members of Tomorrow in case of a situation, Li Ye had specially asked Lin Wu to install a simple alarm last night.

Old Zhou then quickly gathered the combat personnel, including the newly joined recruits.

Li Ye quickly ran to the watchtower.

"What's wrong?" he asked Lin Xia.

Lin Xia's face was pale, and she handed him the binoculars.

Li Ye picked up the binoculars and looked, and his face suddenly changed.

In multiple directions three kilometers away, unfamiliar mobile cities appeared at the same time.

Judging by their marching routes and weapon orientations, they were clearly a group.

Li Ye also noticed that these mobile cities all had flags and city liveries.

Judging from the patterns, they were the Hanged Man, the Magician, and the Chariot.

"These are characters from the Tarot!" he immediately realized. "They are all Predator Cities!"

Immediately afterward, a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

According to the original plan, Tomorrow was to set off from the city ruins today. But unexpectedly, it encountered an ambush by members of the Tarot Alliance shortly after its departure.

Perhaps the other party didn't know that the mobile city they were hunting had just exchanged for the best spoils from the neutral boss.

At this moment, the three mobile cities simultaneously emitted two short and two long blasts of their horns, lowered their vehicle convoys via the lift platforms, and accelerated towards Tomorrow.

Li Ye immediately ordered Tomorrow to turn around and accelerate to escape.

If it were just one Predator City, Tomorrow could handle it completely. But facing three at the same time, the only option was to flee.

The following time was a chase between the two sides.

The newcomers, watching the three mobile cities gradually approaching in the distance, couldn't help but turn pale.

Everyone had just set off with hope, only to encounter such misfortune.

Just then, Old Zhou let out a loud roar.

"What's there to be afraid of! We are strong!" he said, slowly clenching his fist. "Even if they want to hunt us, we will make them pay a bloody price!"

As Tomorrow slowly lowered its lift platform, Vehicle Teams One and Two arrived on the ground and accelerated towards the nearby streets.

On the deck, combat personnel successively took their positions in front of the heavy machine guns and cannons, while the gunner, Ning Wen, began to debug the Lava Cannon.

The Frost Cannon's shells had been used up, but the Lava Cannon still had 5 shells available.

With another roar, a vehicle arrived on the ground via the lift platform and accelerated into the streets.

That was the Storm IFV that Tomorrow had just exchanged for, and sitting in it were the crew members Li Ye had just selected.

Li Ye, on the watchtower, kept his eyes fixed on its figure.

This time, he could only hope that this Level 2 vehicle would play its part.
