Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 109 The Dining Table on the Tomorrow (4.7K)
In the driver's seat, Li Ye logged into the Eternal Night District city channel again.

During this time, he chatted with Bishop Heath about various operational details, trying to complete the plan as much as possible.

As they chatted, he glanced at the system panel.

The sixth piece of intelligence from the previous round still exists.

6. Below is a map of the plains where you are located. Duration: 5 days. (Intelligence Value: Epic)

The topographical map shows that Tomorrow's Alliance is located on a plain, and the mobile cities, patrol convoys, airships, fortresses, outposts, and towns deployed by the zombies are all clearly visible.

In addition, it details the iron mines, forests, rare mineral veins, and lakes on the plains.

As the Tomorrow, which Li Ye is riding, moves, the corresponding distance will also be clearly displayed.

"There are quite a few resources."

Looking at the map, Li Ye also began to think carefully.

For this mission, it's probably best for the Tomorrow to venture deep into enemy territory alone.

As an assault-type city, Tomorrow is equipped with energy shields and city camouflage for defense, and level 2 frost cannons and level 1 lava cannons for offense, along with storm infantry fighting vehicles, black Hawk helicopters, and bloody rippers.

The weapons include a level 2 shotgun, a level 2 flamethrower, and a level 2 bayonet.

It possesses both strong combat capabilities and self-defense capabilities.

The Iron Whale and the Engineer are defensive and engineering cities, respectively, making it difficult for them to utilize their capabilities when encountering enemies. The Tomorrow may even be dragged down as well.

Rather than having Zhou Xingfang follow him deep into the Eternal Night District, it would be better to have them hide in the vicinity first, and send out some convoys to collect these wild resources while I return.

After all, there are safe locations on the map.

A few hours earlier, Li Ye had hastily copied a map and handed it to Fang Yong and Zhou Xing.

The two were stunned when they saw the map in their hands.

The map precisely lists the locations of the zombies' strongholds, the possible movement paths of patrol convoys, airships, and mobile cities, as well as a range of wilderness resources.

It has to be said that Li Ye is indeed a bit outrageous, always managing to turn misfortune into good fortune and providing the best decisions and directions.

The same applies to accurately identifying that level 2 wilderness boss before.

While it may seem surprising and puzzling, it's not necessarily a bad thing as companions.

Coming to his senses, Li Ye continued his conversation with Bishop Heath.

[Tomorrow's Ship: This time I will venture alone into the Eternal Night Zone. As for my two companions, if possible, I hope you can devise a route for them to evacuate the Eternal Night Zone and reach the Jurassic Zone.]

[Saint: I completely understand your desire to protect your comrades.]

[Tomorrow's Issue: Is this possible?]

[Saint: Sorry.]

Upon seeing this, Li Ye couldn't help but sigh softly.

But with maps in hand, the Iron Whale and the Engineer should be quite safe.

Zhou Xing, on the other hand, provided a hidden solution.

The Engineer is, after all, a fully equipped Tier 1 city. Although its combat strength is weak, it still has some ways to survive in the wild.

It can disguise itself as a mountain through a series of engineering processes.

The Engineer can produce the Tier 1 item "Bionic Rock Layers," which requires 0.2 units of iron ore and 1 unit of dirt to craft and looks quite like mountain rock layers.

The armor seams of the mobile city can be disguised as rock crevices. The mobile city can lift the biomimetic rock layers by manipulating the support rods to imitate a slowly growing mountain.

After completing this step, the entire mobile city is then adorned with flowers, trees, and shrubs to resemble mountain vegetation, thus completing the project.

"Is there really such a method?"

Li Ye was surprised.

The three then made a decision.

The isolated force ventured deep into the Eternal Night to carry out a mission for the Apocalypse Cult. The Engineer and Iron Whale moved to a safe hiding place marked on the map, concealing themselves within the mountains and entering a long period of standby.

They also sent out a convoy to sneak in some resources.

The Iron Whale did not have a fleet of vehicles, while the Engineer had regular motorcycles and off-road vehicles.

When Tomorrow returns, the three mobile cities will leave together again.

[Tomorrow's Issue: Well, I'm leaving then. Be careful.]

[Iron Whale: Go ahead and do your job, Alliance Leader. Don't worry about us.]

[Engineer ID: Take care.]

Li Ye bid farewell to his companions and ordered the Tomorrow to depart.

When Li Ye opened his eyes again, all he saw was darkness.

He slowly stood up and looked at the clock on the wall.

It clearly showed "11:12".

After getting dressed and quickly washing up, Li Ye immediately left the room and headed towards the driver's seat.

It is now the eleventh day since Tomorrow ventured deep into the Eternal Night District.

According to Li Ye's estimate, the Tomorrow should now have entered the central area of ​​the Eternal Night District.

He made this judgment because he encountered more and more zombie strongholds and patrol convoys along the way.

You'll even encounter a beacon every few kilometers.

At this moment, the originally unpleasant darkness became the best disguise for Tomorrow.

The city, a second-tier city, slowed down as much as possible to reduce the noise while driving, as night gradually fell.

Li Ye then went to the driver's seat and looked at the city channel of the Eternal Night District.

Because the city channel is under public control, everyone's messages are extremely simple and concise.

Important messages will be pinned to the top.

During this time, the Engineer and Iron Whale remained safe. They communicated privately via city channels.

Using the map set up in the wilderness, the convoy built by the Engineer safely collected 2412 units of level 2 iron ore, 1994 units of level 2 coal, 1013 units of level 2 saltpeter, and a total of 764 units of various level 2 rare ores, as well as one level 2 shadow crystal.

If some mines hadn't been occupied by zombies, even more resources could have been extracted.

When Li Ye learned of this, he couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

However, these resources can only be shared after Tomorrow reunites with its companions.

Through the pinned message, he briefly summarized the current situation.

In the past few days, the human forces have been engaged in a full-scale war with the zombie civilization.

The fiercest fighting occurred on the northern front, where the human side deployed the largest number of mobile cities. The zombie civilization, naturally, was not to be outdone, deploying even more mobile cities and a million-strong horde of zombies.

According to intelligence gathered from the front lines, the overall commander of the zombie civilization stationed on the northern front is a zombie marshal named Ryan.

Even though the northern front possessed the vast majority of the Apocalypse Church's fighting force, it still found it extremely difficult.

The situation on the western and eastern fronts is even worse, and they are on the verge of collapse.

The worst situation was on the southern front, where there was absolutely no fighting force to resist the zombies. The Bone Barrier had been repaired, and zombies were continuously invading the wasteland from the south.

During this time, Li Ye also learned something: when faced with an overwhelming threat, the monsters and humans in the wasteland chose to put aside their past grievances and fight together against the enemy.

When Li Ye learned of this, he was quite surprised.

Goblins, ant-men, and boar-men—these monsters fought alongside humans against the zombie horde. He found it hard to imagine such a scene.

In addition, he unexpectedly learned of news from the front lines.

The zombies' mobile cities and hordes of zombies are almost endless; every time one batch is wiped out, another batch will quickly replenish it every day or two.

In this way, even if the human side fights bravely and cooperates well, they will eventually be worn down and killed by the zombies.

Once the human defenses collapse, the zombies will sweep across all areas like a black tide.

Thinking of this, Li Ye couldn't help but shake his head.

"How could this zombie civilization be so powerful?"

To his relief, the Iron Whale and the Engineer were safe and sound, and Zhou Xing and Fang Yong would call him regularly every day to let him know they were safe.

When Li Ye looked at the screen, he saw the latest private message.

[Saint: Tomorrow, where are you now?]

Li Ye shook his head and typed to indicate that he had no idea.

Although it has ventured deep into the Eternal Night District, the Tomorrow is completely unaware of the surrounding area and can only wander around aimlessly like a headless fly. But there's no need to rush; the intelligence will be updated tomorrow.

There are a total of eight pieces of intelligence this time, and the amount of information is definitely substantial.

Just then, Bishop Heath sent another message.

[Saint: The situation is very unfavorable for humanity right now, and you are currently the only member who has broken through to the enemy's heartland.]

[Saint: We all place our hopes on you.]

Li Ye couldn't help but shake his head.

If that's the case, then the pressure on him is far too great.

After ending the call, he stretched and smoothed his face to calm his emotions.

Now, it's time to eat.

During this period, all the Level 1 crops planted in Tomorrow's fields have matured.

Rainbow tomatoes, kiwi oranges, dragon's breath peppers, crystal cabbage, wind song rice, jade greens, black corn, plus the blue heart potatoes and morning light wheat stored in the warehouse, have greatly increased the food on the table.

Moreover, the Sunshine Apples and Yunmeng Cotton planted on the upper layer also reaped a bumper harvest.

All types of crops combined total 20421 units.

After the crops were harvested, a new batch of seeds was sown.

In the following period, Tomorrow was able to harvest a batch of crops every one or two weeks, so the vegetable supply was secured.

Moreover, the chickens and ducks that Tomorrow initially raised have also started laying eggs and breeding, and their numbers have now increased several times over, enough to supply chicken and duck meat and eggs.

The residents of Tomorrow's Ship happily gathered in front of the warehouse, exchanging their accumulated contribution points for vegetables.

Hundreds of people from the entire city flocked to the warehouse, creating a lively scene.

Meanwhile, the neighborhood committee and the people in charge of managing the warehouse were working up a sweat.

Everyone was incredibly busy measuring vegetables, manually deducting and recording residents' contribution points, and maintaining order.

Li Ye simply called over Lao Zhou and had him collect a batch of all the vegetables and fruits, except for Yunmeng cotton.

Not only that, he also had Lao Zhou collect a batch of eggs and slaughter a chicken and a duck along the way.

“It’s a rare bumper harvest, so why don’t you invite Lin Wutang, Fang Ningwen, and the others to get together and have a good meal?” he said.

The gathering was to be held in the public canteen.

Soon, everyone arrived in turn.

Besides the helmsman, Ah Bai, there needs to be someone on standby in the cockpit of the Tomorrow.

In addition to the original staff, the public canteen has now hired two chefs and four helpers.

The chefs were selected from ordinary residents and were given T6-level treatment.

This level will gradually increase as working hours increase.

During this period, the public dining hall on the Tomorrow has already opened.

It originally sold two kinds of food.

First, various types of wheat-based foods, such as steamed buns, rice noodles, and noodles.
Second, various foods made from blue heart potatoes.

Because newly planted crops such as rainbow tomatoes were not yet mature, the only vegetables available in the cafeteria were blue-heart potatoes.

To enrich the variety of dishes, the chefs in the public canteen have racked their brains.

Shredded potatoes, potato slices, mashed potatoes, potato pancakes, potato noodles
Taking into account the residents' "income level", Li Ye decided to set the prices of public canteens to be cheaper, and try to keep the prices between 3 and 20 points of contribution.

Even though the canteen had a limited selection of dishes in the early days, residents still flocked to it.

The food sold in the public canteen is almost always sold out every day.

Upon witnessing this scene, Li Ye was deeply moved.

In the apocalypse, being able to eat and drink well is truly a rare treat.

Upon learning that it was the lord himself who had come to visit, the cooks and helpers who were resting rushed over and got to work.

Lin Wu, Ning Wen, Tang Fang, Lao Zhou and the others also arrived one after another, and everyone took their seats in turn.

Stir-fried eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried shredded potatoes, stewed chicken, stir-fried greens, corn stir-fried with meat, and salted duck.
Soon, one fragrant dish after another was served.

A helper carried in a large pot filled with steaming white rice.

In the center of the table was a large plate of sun-dried apples and kiwi oranges.

Before coming here, Li Ye also used a batch of fresh water in the production workshop to produce a batch of cola, orange juice, and iced tea, which he brought over.

"Coming, coming!" Lin Xia rushed over.

Upon seeing so much food on the table, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in delight.

Wow, so many dishes!

Then the young girl realized something, looked up at Li Ye, stuck out her tongue, and asked cautiously.

"You're treating everyone to so much food all at once? Isn't that a bit wasteful?"

"No." Li Ye smiled and waved his hand.

He wasn't disappointed. After harvesting the crops, a new batch of seeds was sown, and another batch would be harvested in a week or two.

From now on, the supply of vegetables and fruits will be at this level.

Everyone took their seats in turn and began to eat.

To make it easier to discuss matters, his deputy, Lin Wu, sat down next to Li Ye.

On his other side was his friend's younger sister, Xiao Yao.

Since Lin Wu is now his deputy, his treatment has improved significantly, so Xiao Yao's daily food and drink have become much better.

Li Ye ate heartily, this was the first time he had been able to eat so well since he transmigrated.

The others also enjoyed the meal immensely.

After taking a sip of cola, Li Ye turned to Lin Wu and said.

"We'll distribute a portion of these newly harvested vegetables and fruits to the cafeteria so they can launch new dishes, and we've already negotiated the prices."

Lin Wu nodded.

"By the way, my lord, the members of the city's neighborhood committee have been working hard to incorporate everyone's opinions these days," he began. "According to the residents, they want more public facilities in the middle-level areas."

"Public facilities?" Li Ye asked in surprise.

Lin Wu nodded.

"Yes, for example, basketball courts, soccer fields, small parks, small squares, and the like."

Li Ye put down his chopsticks, seemingly lost in thought.

After being upgraded to a Tier 2 city, Tomorrow's size increased several times over, and the available area within the city also increased significantly.

Just as he thought, the residents' living standards should be improved.

“Okay, let’s build a small square and a small park then. You can get the materials for the construction from the warehouse and give them to the city neighborhood committee for distribution.” He nodded. “A football field is unnecessary; those things take up too much space. We can build a few more basketball courts, though.”

“But we don’t have any basketball production projects yet,” Lin Wu reminded him. “None of them are basketball courts either.”

"Hmm." Li Ye came back to his senses. "Then we can put the basketball court project on hold for now."

Once he's done with this busy period, he'll try to collect design blueprints for common items, such as basketballs, ping-pong balls, and badminton shuttlecocks, and then manufacture them in the production workshop. He'll also build a series of sports facilities to enrich the lives of the residents.

Considering his current busy schedule, he made a decision.

Give some power to the city's neighborhood committees, and let them make their own decisions on things like building public spaces.

For particularly important matters, it is necessary to report to Li Ye and obtain his signature of approval before they can be carried out.

“It’s not just these things, Lord. The residents on the Tomorrow’s clothing is also too monotonous,” Lin Wu continued to remind them. “We also need to purchase design blueprints for summer and winter clothing, as well as gloves, warm hats, thick socks, and the like. These items don’t necessarily have to be level 1; ordinary level will suffice.”

Li Ye listened and nodded repeatedly.

Just then, he realized something and spoke up.

"Isn't it already autumn?"

Since he transmigrated, he has hardly ever looked at the months—in fact, it's hard to find calendars in the wasteland.

Normally, when leaving the wilderness, one would ask Lin Wu and the others.

“Yes, it’s already autumn.” Lin Wu nodded. “I think winter will be here in another two or three months.”
