Chapter 126 It woke up.

Chapter 126 It woke up. (4K)

"Speaking of which, is the Tomorrow Ship now capable of fighting a level 2 predator city alliance?" Li Ye wondered.

In fact, he himself was surprised by the development of Tomorrow.

"Don't forget, our wheel tracks and engine haven't been upgraded yet," Lin Wu reminded him.

“Yes!” Li Ye nodded.

However, the current amount of crystals is no longer enough to purchase level 2 blueprints and the level 2 iron ore required for crafting.

Just a few minutes ago, Zhou Xing applied to Li Ye for funds to purchase more Level 2 design drawings for engineering projects.

Li Ye readily agreed to this.

He planned to give all the remaining balance in the account, as well as the proceeds from the subsequent sale of oil, fuel, and natural gas, to the Engineer.

"These tires, tracks, and engine can only be upgraded when there's an opportunity later," he thought to himself.

Overall, the money spent on Tomorrow was entirely used effectively, with no waste. All the necessary upgrades were implemented.

In fact, among the Tomorrow Alliance, Tomorrow Ship consumed the most crystal resources this time.

City resource transport device, Level 3 vanguard armed gunship, Level 3 city camouflage upgrade blueprint, a series of Level 2 vehicle design blueprints, and a large quantity of Level 2 iron ore.
All the various projects combined have exceeded 500,000 crystal coins.

In general, it is easy to become a strike-type city, but it is difficult to become a powerful strike-type city.

Artillery, heavy machine guns, close-combat weapons and firearms, training combat personnel, and naval, land, and air combat capabilities—all of these cost money.

The second expense is for artillery-supported mobile cities.

To maintain its formidable firepower, it needs to build a large number of ordinary cannons and cannons with upgrades. Moreover, it must have a sufficient stockpile of cannonballs, since each salvo involves firing dozens or even hundreds of shells.

Now, Li Ye can finally feel at ease.

The oil resources in the sedimentary basin have been largely exhausted. Perhaps there are still some undiscovered scattered oil and gas fields in its corners, but he wouldn't feel too sorry about them.

The Tomorrow Alliance ate way too much this time.

"This epic level of resource intelligence is truly worthwhile!" he exclaimed sincerely. "If we could get one every week, the Tomorrow Alliance would take off completely."

With the mining operation completed, the Liye faction brought all the lords aboard the Tomorrow for a celebratory banquet.

The location is a private dining room in the public dining hall.

For this reason, Li Ye specially asked the chef to slaughter a few chickens and ducks, and told them to cook as many dishes as they could.

Half an hour later, a dozen dishes were laid out on the round table, along with drinks such as iced tea, cola, and orange juice, as well as kiwi oranges and sun-dried apples.

Yang Zheng and the other lords' eyes lit up instantly.

"You're getting really good treatment!"

In addition to the seven lords, they were accompanied by their respective deputies.

The group quickly began eating and drinking, and started chatting.

"Thank you so much this time," someone said sincerely.

In this oil field exploration activity, the Alliance will reap the rewards tomorrow, and the lords will also get a share.

Each lord's share of oil was worth tens of thousands of crystal coins.

With four more Level 2 mobile cities now in place, the mobile cities in the Jurassic and Cretaceous regions dared not even covet the sedimentary basins, and the dinosaurs became much more docile.

"I wonder what the situation is like outside the sedimentary basin," someone muttered to themselves.

Li Ye picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

“It’s pretty messy,” he said.

While developing the oil field, he also sent out Black Hawk helicopters to scout the surroundings.

According to the information they brought back, more and more mobile cities have arrived in the Jurassic-Cretaceous region through wormholes.

They were greeted by "hospitable" dinosaurs.

On their first day of arrival, many mobile cities suffered greatly.

The dinosaurs took advantage of their unpreparedness and launched a surprise attack at night.

There was also the Thunder Tyrant, a dinosaur so powerful it could emit electromagnetic pulses.

The people sent out by Li Ye witnessed the Thunder Tyrant with their own eyes. Its size was much larger than that of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. As it slowly gathered its strength, a powerful electromagnetic pulse swept through the target mobile city.

The entire mobile city was immediately paralyzed and instantly overwhelmed by dinosaurs.

Moreover, the Thunder Tyrant seems to have evolved an electromagnetic sense of smell, which allows it to detect the electromagnetic fields generated by operating vehicles and various devices in mobile cities, and the range of these fields is extremely wide.

"Why are there such troublesome monsters in the wasteland?" someone couldn't help but sigh.

Li Ye also had a solemn expression.

This Thunder Tyrant poses a tremendous threat to mobile cities, and it seems to have tracking capabilities as well.

Without a doubt, if it is discovered, the first thing to do is to concentrate firepower to eliminate it.

"So what are you all planning to do next?" someone asked.

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

In fact, they had only been in the Jurassic-Cretaceous region for a few days.

Currently, only the sedimentary basins have been explored, and a large area in the northern region remains unexplored.

The western region we came from was not even explored, let alone the eastern and southern regions.

The Jurassic and Cretaceous zone is actually very dangerous. The dinosaurs are incredibly powerful, and there are even creatures like the Thunder Tyrant that are extremely effective against mobile cities and vehicles.

"Why don't we go to other regions to seek development?" Li Ye thought to himself.

However, this is not a good idea.

This area has already been explored.

Wilderness areas, basin areas, and Gobi areas, and desolate wastelands on the verge of destruction.

These are all level 1 areas, not good choices.

The Eternal Night District is absolutely off-limits.

In contrast, the areas adjacent to the Jurassic region to the north, south, and east have not yet been explored.

"Perhaps we should continue exploring the Jurassic-Cretaceous region," he thought. "With the Tomorrow's current combat capabilities, it's safe enough to maintain its position."

Looking around at the four lords before him, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

Their level 2 mobile cities are all pretty good; why not try recruiting one of them into the Tomorrow Alliance?

After all, Tomorrow's Alliance is currently in an expansion phase.

When Li Ye made this suggestion, the four lords were taken aback at first, and then fell into thought.

To be fair, Tomorrow's Alliance is indeed quite strong at present.

It already has a Tier 2 defensive city and a Tier 2 engineer city, so the foundation is already in place.

The Tomorrow boasts a range of Tier 3 items, powerful land and air combat capabilities, and a Tier 2 city radio station.

Its development prospects are undoubtedly very good.

Ultimately, one person decided to join the Tomorrow Alliance.

That was Yang Zheng, the lord of the Peacemaker.

Li Ye and Lin Wu exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

The two were naturally delighted to have the Peacemaker join them. After all, the Tomorrow Alliance was in dire need of cities with fire support capabilities.

Overjoyed, Li Ye immediately turned to look at the other three lords.

What about you? Won't you reconsider?

The Alliance of Tomorrow currently needs at least two assault-type mobile cities to join, since the Engineer has no combat capability and the Peacemaker needs to stay in the rear when engaging in firefights.

In city battles, the main force typically moves to attack cities. The three lords politely declined the offer to leave the city.

Although somewhat disappointed, Li Ye did not force the issue, after all, everyone has their own ambitions.

As everyone continued eating, a noise suddenly came from outside.

"Did something explode in your city?" someone asked.

Li Ye looked at Lin Wu, who shook his head.

"No, our city's safety management has always been very standardized."

As he nodded, Li Ye realized something, and his expression changed.

"Wait... Could it be that thing has woken up?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. After they came to their senses, their faces all showed the expression of someone who had been chased and torn apart by a vicious dog for several blocks.

People forgot about eating and rushed out of the public canteen, putting down their bowls and chopsticks.

At this moment, the mid-deck of the Tomorrow was packed with people, all staring in astonishment in the direction of the giant extinct volcano.

A muffled rumble, like thunder, could be faintly heard from there. Spiderweb-like cracks appeared near the mountain pass, from which billowing steam, carrying the smell of sulfur, spewed out.

Birds scattered in alarm and wild animals fled in a frenzy throughout the sedimentary basin, as if they had already sensed the impending catastrophe.

A lord looked around at the crowd and then at Li Ye.

"What's wrong?" Li Ye asked, puzzled.

"Your Tomorrow Ship has quite a large population. How many people are there now?" the other party asked.

"Around 500," Li Ye replied.

The other party and the others were taken aback.

"So many?"

"Is that a lot?" Li Ye asked in surprise.

2级移动城市虽然能承载5000-10000人，但实际上绝大多数2级城市人口都保持在1000以下。

Many mobile cities don't have the same resources as Tomorrow, and can't support a larger population.

Generally speaking, a population of around 1000 is sufficient to meet the combat personnel needs, daily work, and operational needs of a Tier 2 city.

There's a bit of a labor surplus at higher levels.

In the wasteland, the principle of "no work, no food" applies, and everyone in the mobile city must play a role.

Unless you are a family member of a scarce talent in the city.

“That’s the situation,” Lin Wu summarized. “If a tier 2 city has three or four thousand people, and these surplus laborers cannot be absorbed, it’s like wasting the city’s resources.”

As he nodded, a question arose in Li Ye's mind.

"What if we build small societies in the city, where everyone has their own role and engages in production and labor?"

Lin Wu was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled softly.

"It's hard."

“Excuse my bluntness, but what you’re doing sounds like rebuilding civilization,” a lord interjected. “In the wasteland, people are just trying to survive; there’s no way to do what you’re saying.”

Li Ye waved and smiled, but his eyes remained firm.

He believed he could do it.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, accompanied by a deafening explosion, the summit of the giant volcano cracked open, sending a column of volcanic ash several kilometers in diameter into the sky.

It resembles a giant black tower piercing through the clouds, making one's heart tremble just by looking at it.

The crater then erupted with large and small "volcanic bombs"—actually solidified magma blocks. These volcanic bombs were propelled high into the air by the enormous impact, crashing down like fireballs over an area of tens of kilometers.

The side of the mountain collapsed, and the rolling lava, like a flood bursting its banks, swept down at an astonishing speed, swallowing everything in its path.

"Retreat immediately!" Li Ye waved his hand. "The sedimentary basin is no longer safe; we must all evacuate!"

The lords came to their senses and immediately prepared to evacuate.

Before leaving, some people even rushed back to the communal canteen to pack up their food, leaving Li Ye both amused and exasperated.

He then dispatched a Black Hawk helicopter to escort everyone away.

Tomorrow quickly started up, followed by other mobile cities, heading towards the edge of the sedimentary basin.

Just then, a sound suddenly came from inside the giant volcano.

That was a roar so powerful it could tear the heavens and the earth apart.

The people on deck were startled, and Li Ye rushed to the watchtower and grabbed a telescope.

He knew in his heart that it had woken up.

Under his gaze, a giant claw landed on the crater.

This giant claw is over a hundred meters in size, and its entire body is obsidian-colored, with lava-like patterns covering its surface.

Li Ye's expression changed.

Based on this scale, the main body of this imperial monster must be over a thousand meters long!
He then went to the driver's seat and turned on the city communication channel.

All lords logged on within a minute, and lines of messages appeared on the screen.

[Greyhound: !!! !!! ]

[The Pacifier: My God!!!]

[Twilight: Is this Monarch monster really that ridiculously large? When a bounty hunter mentioned it to me before, I thought he was just bragging!]

Then, Professor Anne spoke.

[Nature L3: According to information I previously read at Titan Throne headquarters, this imperial monster is named "Fire Eater" Gidon. It is approximately 930 meters long, 400 meters tall, and weighs approximately 9000 million tons.]

[Nature L3: This imperial monster has a normal body temperature of 2200 degrees Celsius, equivalent to twice the temperature of volcanic magma.]

[Natural L3: In other words, the moment you reach its surface, you will be instantly vaporized.]

[Tomorrow's Post: Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Professor Anne. But I don't think anyone would want to approach a Monarch monster.]

A few seconds later, molten lava erupted, and a giant beast roared as it emerged.

It resembles a tortoise in appearance, with eyes like incandescent fireballs, billowing thick smoke from its mouth, and a body like a moving mountain.

The Emperor Monster "Fire Eater" Gidon makes its debut.

Faced with the colossal beast that stood majestically between heaven and earth, the people on the deck were speechless with astonishment.

Li Ye was also filled with emotion.

Humans are far too insignificant in the face of such a mighty monster.

Just then, someone asked a question.

[Burning Steel: Professor Annie, what level is this Emperor Monster?]

Li Ye shook his head slightly after seeing this.

The Emperor Monster has no levels.

These top predators in the wasteland food chain only demonstrate their strength by destroying their enemies.

Professor Anne quickly gave the same answer that Li Ye had expected.

[Nature L3: All Imperial Monsters do not have levels, but for Gidon the Fire Eater, I can give you some reference data.]

[Nature L3: It was several decades ago, Gidon single-handedly destroyed a level 4 assault mobile city.]
