Chapter 135 Level 2 Survivor Town (4K)

Atop a snow-capped peak a dozen kilometers away, there stood a steampunk-style human town.

This human town is built along the cliff, with buildings half embedded in the mountainside and half suspended in mid-air.

The cliff face is covered with countless interwoven copper pipes and iron ladders, which connect houses and buildings of all sizes.

The town of survivors is surrounded by a massive, semi-transparent glass dome with a copper frame. The outside of the glass dome is covered in frost, while the inside is covered with steam pipes of various sizes. A small watchtower stands atop the glass, with a rotating brass telescope and a gear-driven searchlight at its top.

Its purpose is probably to monitor potential avalanches and enemies.

The town's streets were paved with wrought iron mesh, beneath which rumbled hydraulic transmission systems. Residents, dressed in heavy leather and woolen coats, moved through the streets, their feet shod in walking boots. Some even wore delicate, small respirators on their faces.

Below the town, there are docks of all sizes.

Countless hot air balloons, jet planes, and airships were suspended there.

In addition, the town was equipped with many heavy machine guns and artillery. Residents carrying firearms patrolled the area from time to time.

Li Ye's gaze lingered on the watchtower atop the glass dome.

The residents on watch in the tower had clearly noticed the Tomorrow Alliance and began waving their arms and legs frantically, shouting and yelling.

He couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Anyone would feel panicked if they saw four Level 2 mobile cities migrating between snow-capped peaks.

So he ordered Tang Fang to sound two long and one short whistles.

Upon receiving the Tomorrow's signal, the town also sounded the same whistle.

After the exchange, Li Ye continued to look at the town through his binoculars.

For him, this town located on a snow-capped peak was still quite novel.

Just as he was looking at it, Lin Xia gently tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"Hey, this town looks pretty nice." Her eyes lit up. "Why don't we go check it out?"

After pondering for a moment, Li Ye shook his head.

Although he was also curious about the town of survivors, the Tomorrow Alliance's top priority was to get on the road.

Within a day or two of arriving in the high-altitude area, many people on the Tomorrow ship had already experienced altitude sickness.

The newly trained doctors and nurses were providing emergency treatment to them.

Not only that, the urban neighborhood committee also specially installed a large number of greenhouses in the middle layer of the fields and connected steam pipes to raise the temperature inside the greenhouses to prevent the crops from freezing to death.

Seeing Li Ye like this, Lin Xia couldn't help but pout in disappointment.

"This is so boring, I don't want to talk to you anymore." She said, gently pushing Li Ye away. "Go back to work!"

Then she realized something, and her face flushed slightly.

"And another thing! Stop coming to the watchtower all the time, people are starting to misunderstand our relationship!"

Li Ye shook his head and smiled, then walked down from the watchtower.

To his surprise, someone even suggested that he go to the town of survivors.

"Let's go take a look," Lin Wu said, adjusting his glasses.

"Why?" Li Ye asked curiously. "Are you also interested in that survivor town? I don't remember you being that kind of person."

Lin Wu gently shook his head and pointed to the town of survivors.

“你看到它的配置没有？2级飞艇、2级热气球、2级重机枪、2级火炮、还有巡逻人员拿着的2级枪械.这显然是座2级幸存者城镇。”

"A level 2 survivor town?"

Lin Wu then gave Li Ye a popular science lesson.

In addition to mobile cities, bounty hunters, caravans, and survivor towns also have a ranking system in the wasteland.

However, their levels are not as clearly defined and intuitively displayed as mobile cities. Instead, they need to be determined through their own configuration.

For example.

如果一个赏金猎人拥有1级车辆、1级防弹衣、1级枪械、1级刀具，并且有一系列强力的1级道具，那么他就是“1级”赏金猎人。

相应的，如果一座幸存者城镇拥有1级车队、1级枪械、1级重机枪和1级火炮，甚至有1级堡垒，那它也是“1级”幸存者城镇。

As Li Ye listened, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

"So, according to you, there are still high-level bounty hunters and survivor towns in the wasteland?"

"There should be." Lin Wu nodded.

Based on Lin Wu's suggestion, the Tomorrow Alliance should stay in this survivor town for a short while.

In towns, they can engage in territorial trade, gather intelligence, and purchase supplies.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ye nodded in agreement.

He turned on the system, and the system CD was already spinning.

[7 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds until the next intelligence update]

[Number of intelligence reports: 5]

"Eight hours? That's barely enough to make a living," he thought. "Maybe I should just rest in this town for eight hours and see what the next round of intelligence is like."

Under his command, the Tomorrow sounded its horn to notify its companions and slowly made its way towards the snow-capped peak where the survivor town was located.

Although it was only a dozen kilometers away, it still took quite a while to get there.

Upon reaching the snow-capped peak where the survivor town was located, the rock anchors at the bottom of the Tomorrow were driven deep into the permafrost, and these thick steel pillars were hammered into the ice layer, locking the mountain.

The omnidirectional track clusters also stopped moving, with each track plate, more than a meter wide, deeply embedded in the rock strata.

The gyro-stabilized cabin, located in the heart of the city, began operating at high speed, constantly fine-tuning its center of gravity through its complex gear system.

As the gyroscope stabilizer gradually stabilized, Lin Wu nodded slightly.

"All right."

The snow-capped peak is over two thousand meters high, and four mobile cities were temporarily stationed near the mountainside.

At the foot of the mountain is a frozen river.

As Li Ye excitedly stepped out of the cockpit, preparing to head to the upper level to pilot the goblin helicopter to town, Lin Wu called out to him.

“Our vehicles haven’t been modified for high-altitude frost protection; they might malfunction and crash halfway through the flight,” he said.

Just as Li Ye hesitated, the town of survivors reacted.

They dispatched airships towards the four mobile cities, clearly to pick them up.

Li Ye then boarded the airship with a group of combat personnel who were escorting him.

Just then, he suddenly realized something and turned to look at Lin Xia on the watchtower.

"Aren't you going?"

Although Lin Xia felt a little hopeful, she still gently shook her head.

"No, no, I have to stay at my post."

In fact, Li Ye had already made a series of preparations before heading to the survivor town.

The helmsman stood by in the cockpit, the combat personnel were ready, and the Black Hawk helicopters on the deck were poised for takeoff at any moment. In his absence, his deputy, Lin Wu, would temporarily assume command.

Even the combat personnel escorting him were equipped with level 2 bayonets, level 2 shotguns, and level 1 falcon assault rifles.

That being said, Li Ye felt that the people in this survivor town probably didn't have any bad intentions, after all, the difference in size between the two sides was obvious.

As long as Li Ye gives the order, the Tomorrow can easily bomb it.

As he was leaving, he saw Lin Xia's reluctant expression, so he ordered a combatant to take over her post on the watchtower.

Lin Xia felt as if she had been granted a pardon and excitedly grabbed his arm.

"Let's go!"

But she quickly realized what she had done, swiftly withdrew her hand, and stuck out her tongue sheepishly.

"By the way, what about the lookout girl who was with you?" Li Ye asked.

Lin Xia gently shook her head. "She hasn't gotten over it yet. So I'm the one who covers for her most of the time."

Li Ye's eyes flickered, and he didn't ask any further questions.

Actually, he learned about Ah Chen and the girl from Tang Fang.

Upon seeing Li Ye and his group approaching fully armed, a town resident who was piloting the airship was immediately stunned.

“I say, you don’t need to be so careful,” he said, waving his hand. “We are the ones who should be afraid.”

After all, there are currently four Level 2 mobile cities stationed nearby, which would make anyone panic.

While riding the airship, Li Ye glanced at its information.

【Item Name: "Snow Peak Walker" Airship】

[Level: Level 2]

[Additional effects: 1. Reduces airflow impact during flight by 40% 2. Increases airship's cold resistance by 30%]

[Crafting Requirements: 125 units of iron ore (level 2), 50 units of cloth (level 2)]

"The attributes are pretty good." His eyes lit up.

This feature is naturally suited for driving on plateaus, and it requires fewer resources to build.

"Speaking of which, how did your town manage to create these Level 2 items?" he asked, turning his head.

The resident patiently provided an answer.

The town of survivors is called "Snowcap Town" and has a history of more than 100 years.

Considering the extreme dangers of the wasteland, the first generation of Snowtop Town decided to try a different path and seek a living in the highlands.

They were not entirely unprepared.

The leader of this generation is on good terms with the lord of a Tier 2 mobile city, which is also a climbing city.

This brought them great convenience.

People collected various materials in the high-altitude area and handed them over to the mobile city, which helped to build Snowtop Town on the snow-capped peaks, as well as a series of level 2 items.

These survivors, filled with hope, settled into their new home on this snow-capped peak.

In the beginning, everyone encountered many problems and was in a lot of chaos, but as time went by, everyone gradually adapted.

Over the course of more than a hundred years, the Tier 2 mobile city has visited Snowtop Town every now and then to help it create a series of Tier 2 items.

The lords of mobile cities naturally cannot live that long; it is passed down from generation to generation.

The town of Snowdrift and this mobile city have maintained a friendship spanning generations.

Everyone listened and nodded repeatedly.

This world has both intrigue and mutual support.

Amidst his reflections, Li Ye suddenly realized a problem.

"Speaking of which, is that mobile city still at level 2?"

The residents nodded.

Not all lords pursue development as wholeheartedly as Li Ye.

Some lords are content as long as they can lead their people to survive and ensure the continuation of their bloodline.

Before they could finish speaking, the airship arrived at Snowtop Town, and everyone disembarked and entered the town.

People also came from the other three mobile cities.

Upon closer inspection, Li Ye discovered that Zhou Xing, Fang Yong, and Yang Zheng had all arrived.

The mayor of Snowtop Town was busy receiving the four lords.

His hands trembled with excitement.

These are a total of four Tier 2 mobile cities, and their configurations look quite impressive.

To his relief, the four lords seemed quite approachable based on their appearances.

Li Ye simply stated his request: he planned to rest in Xueding Town for a while and purchase some supplies, such as medicine for altitude sickness.

"By the way, what do you usually eat?"

The mayor then snapped his fingers.

"Please come with me."

He led the group toward the giant glass dome that covered the town.

There, everyone saw densely packed fields.

A series of mechanical devices are installed inside this huge glass-copper dome.

There are steam pipes that can raise the temperature.

There are mirrored reflectors that can focus and refract the thin sunlight.

It has a nozzle that sprays water mist to melt ice.

And in the field, there was a cluster of silvery-white crops.

【Item Name: Frosted Oatmeal】

Item Level: 1

[Additional benefits: 1. Cold resistance 2. Growth cycle reduced by 50%]

Frosted oats have a silvery-white appearance and are covered with a coating of ice crystals.

According to the mayor, the frosted oats have a very refreshing taste.

Before the four lords could speak, he had the residents bring four packets of frosted oat seeds and distributed them to the people who had left the wilderness.

Furthermore, he instructed the residents to prepare a range of high-altitude medications and a batch of respirators for use at high altitudes.

Since he didn't have many crystals on hand, Li Ye decided to use supplies as payment.

He gave the mayor a batch of cola, orange juice, iced tea, and also a batch of vegetables and fruits.

This delighted them immediately—after all, their daily diet was very limited, consisting mainly of oats.

What made the town mayor even more uneasy was that Li Ye also gave him about 10 kinds of level 1 crop seeds.

"I can't possibly accept this!" He couldn't help but rub his hands together.

Li Ye smiled and waved his hand, telling him not to worry about it.

For Tomorrow, these level 1 crop seeds are very inexpensive, and they are perfect for giving away as gifts on ordinary days.

In the following time, the mayor began to explain to everyone how Snowtop Town operates.

In fact, there are some level 2 monsters in the high-altitude area.

For example, the giant frost spider that climbs between snow-capped peaks.

The agile Icefield Swift Wolf.

The cunning and shrewd snowmen.

Frozen toothed earthworms nimbly move between layers of ice.

Snowtop Town's main business is finding and hunting these monsters in the highlands.

As level 2 monsters, they drop quite a lot of loot.

Not only do they have iron ore, coal, and fabric, but also various finished products, and even design drawings!
In addition, they also drop some special proprietary materials.

Every so often, the townspeople of Snowtop Town would take airships and sell these spoils of war.

In addition to hunting monsters, they also collect various resources in the high-altitude areas.

Overall, life in this Tier 2 town is quite comfortable.

With no competitors, there is little pressure to survive.
