Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 137 The World's Most Unique Monster Civilization (4K)

1000 units of level 2 iron ore, 500 units of level 2 gunpowder.

Li Ye clearly remembered that this was the consumption of resources by the Vanguard Armed Gunship to replenish its combat resources.

"I have to remind you, we really don't have enough level 2 iron ore on our Tomorrow. As for gunpowder, it goes without saying," Lin Wu said slowly.

"We can get some from the Iron Whale," Tang Fang suggested. "By the way, I wonder how things are going with Professor Annie?"

Li Ye's expression became quite interesting.

It has to be said that the threat posed by this zombie civilization is too great, forcing the human forces and the level 2 frogman civilization to unite.

He is not optimistic about the situation in the archipelago.

With the zombies' onslaught, it's only a matter of time before the archipelago falls.

At that time, the only remaining safe haven in the southern part of the Western Wilderness will be the Valley region where the Alliance is about to arrive.

Not long after, Tomorrow Alliance encountered War Sword M3.

On the deck, Li Ye picked up his binoculars and looked around.

The War Sword M3 has a tough, masculine style, with its urban paint scheme and deck exuding a steampunk-inspired ruggedness.

Its deck is equipped with an astonishing number of cannons and heavy machine guns, as well as a series of combat vehicles.

A light airship equipped with heavy machine guns, rocket pods, and bomb bays.

A jet aircraft armed to the teeth, with an extremely aggressive appearance.

The Spider Tank is a vehicle-sized vehicle with eight mechanical legs, equipped with a heavy machine gun and armed personnel, and capable of nimbly traversing between snow-capped peaks.

What surprised Li Ye the most was that there were actually mechs on the deck of the War Sword M3.

Although it's called a mecha, it's actually more like an exoskeleton armor for individual combat, or powered armor.

This power armor is three to four meters tall, with a heavy metallic style and an iron-gray paint job.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that not only the armor, city paint schemes, but also the flags all feature overlapping patterns of gears, swords, and documents.

"This Iron Brotherhood's mobile city looks pretty formidable," Li Ye thought to himself.

Then, looking at the powered armor, he couldn't help but feel a strong urge to get started.

"That's really cool. I wish I could get my hands on its production project."

Upon seeing four Level 2 mobile cities approaching, the War Sword M3 immediately emitted two long and one short whistle sounds.

Tomorrow responded with the same whistle.

War Sword M3 then dispatched an airship.

Soon, the airship landed on the deck.

A bald, burly man with a cigarette dangling from his lips walked over.

He looked around at everyone and then spoke.

"Who among you is in charge?"

Upon seeing Li Ye nod slightly, the bald, burly man was stunned.

"It's you? So young?"

The two sides then engaged in a series of exchanges.

The bald, burly man was named Willie, and he was a low-ranking knight on the War Sword M3.

As a world-class organization, the Iron Brotherhood, like the Titan Throne and the Cult of the Apocalypse, has a strict hierarchical system.

"Then may I ask what your Iron Brotherhood's hierarchy is?" Li Ye asked with great interest.

In fact, he is very interested in the structure, hierarchy, and configuration of world-class organizations.

Willie then gave an introduction.

The Iron Brotherhood adheres to strict military discipline, with rank directly linked to military merit and contributions, and rejects hereditary succession and political appointments.

It operates on a dual-track, parallel path for promotion.

In combat, they belong to the "Knight" tier; in writing, they belong to the "Scholar" tier.

Knights are divided into four ranks: Apprentice Knight, Knight, War Knight, and Elder Knight.

The clerks were categorized in order of seniority: apprentice, clerk, scholar, and great scholar.

Each class has three sub-levels: low, medium, and high.

Those responsible for command and management are the elders, who are divided into ordinary elders, elite elders, red-robed elders, and supreme elders.

The Council of Elders, composed of the High Elders, governs the Iron Oath Brotherhood.

"I see."

As Li Ye nodded, Willie spoke again.

The lord of War Sword M3 is Elder David. Elder David originally wanted to come in person, but he is currently busy preparing combat resources and planning to launch another war against the Zerg swarm, so he cannot get away.

Therefore, he sent Willie to deliver the message.

“The swarm in the highlands is growing too rapidly, so the elders hope you can provide assistance.” Willie frowned as he spoke. “If left unchecked, the swarm will soon become a major threat.”

"Definitely." Li Ye nodded.

Lin Wu, who was standing next to him, hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Mr. Willie, with the swarm's reproduction and evolution speed so fast, is it possible that it's only at level 2?"

“You’ve got it wrong,” Willie said. “The swarm that appeared in the highlands is not the main body, but just a small branch.”

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, he then spoke.

"Listen patiently, I will explain to you in detail what the swarm is all about."

Insect swarm.

The most unique monster civilization in the wasteland.

They even surpassed the extremely threatening zombie civilization.

The most outstanding feature of the Zerg swarm is its ability to adapt to the environment at an extremely fast pace and evolve various types of units.

They reproduce extremely quickly, often growing from a small group of insects to occupying an entire area in less than a month.

The main core of the swarm is the queen, who is divided into 1-7 levels from low to high.

Each queen is the absolute core of her swarm, capable of continuously producing basic larvae, which then evolve into different types of units as needed.

The queen can also produce various swarm buildings.

Most importantly, the queen of each swarm is responsible for directing its swarm's reproduction, resource extraction, and external combat; she is essentially the "brain" of the swarm.

Regarding the swarm, the human and monster factions have reached a rare consensus.

Once a swarm is discovered in any area, both parties must immediately eliminate it.

Both sides tacitly agree that using high-level mobile cities in areas where the swarm is located does not constitute a violation of the Silence Agreement.

Upon hearing this, Li Ye was stunned.

The fact that both humans and monsters have been forced to tacitly break the silence agreement shows just how great a threat this swarm poses.
Tang Fang and the others asked in confusion.

What is a silence agreement?

In fact, Li Ye already possessed far more information than his companions.

Willie declined to comment on the silence agreement.

To illustrate the threat posed by the swarm, he made a simple comparison.

If a level 1 insect queen appears in a level 1 area, and no one takes action, the area is considered to have fallen.

And so on.

"This swarm is still in its early stages and is relatively easy to handle. Now that you're here, you'll need to work with us in this battle."

He waved.

"Don't worry, the Iron Oath Brothers won't let you work for free. You'll get a generous reward after the job is done."

He then glanced around at Li Ye before speaking. "Are you ready to engage in battle now? If you need anything, please let us know as soon as possible."

After pondering for a moment, Li Ye spoke.

"Iron ore, lots of iron ore."

战剑M3号一次性给了明日号1500单位2级铁矿，1500单位2级火药，2000单位1级铁矿，以及一批1级熔岩铁矿和冰霜铁矿。

Looking at the mountain of resources before him, Li Ye rubbed his hands together excitedly.

It has to be said that this world-class organization is incredibly generous.

He then replenished the combat resources of the Vanguard gunships.

Then, they consumed level 1 iron ore to replenish a large number of bullets and shells.

He then dispatched Black Hawk helicopters to transport the remaining iron ore to the Peacemaker.

In the following period, Li Ye started the city radio station.

Using the invitation code shared by Li Ye, Zhanjian M3 joined the K1 City Communication Channel.

Elder David then sent out a message.

[War Sword M3: This is truly beyond my expectations. I was already surprised by the development and configuration of your Tomorrow Alliance, but I didn't expect you to even have a Level 2 city radio station.]

[War Sword M3: To make a long story short, we will be departing in 10 minutes. Please raise any questions or requests you may have as soon as possible.]

[Tomorrow's Report: Hello Elder David, we have learned about the situation through Mr. Willie. How long will the battle last?]

[War Sword M3: If all goes well, the battle should be over within a few hours.]

[Engineer: What if things don't go smoothly?]

[War Sword M3: Then we'll be completely wiped out.]

"Is it really that serious?" Li Ye asked in surprise.

The War Sword M3 already had ridiculously high firepower, and with the addition of the Tomorrow Alliance, the two sides could almost sweep through an area together. Yet, they were completely wiped out by the Zerg swarm.

[WarSword M3: This is your first time fighting a Zerg swarm, so I must solemnly remind you of one thing.]

[War Sword M3: Regardless of the environment, it is essential to maintain distance from the Zerg swarm and suppress their advance with firepower.]

[WarSword M3: The Zerg swarm is very intelligent and will prioritize destroying the mobility of your mobile cities. Your defensive cities cannot be deployed in combat.]

[Tomorrow's issue: Understood.]

Ten minutes later, the five Level 2 mobile cities set off for their destination.

The combat mobilization for Tomorrow is complete. Black Hawk helicopters and Vanguard gunships have taken off in succession, and Storm infantry fighting vehicles have entered the deck to complete their deployment.

The combat personnel took their positions in front of the heavy machine guns and artillery, and manpower was assigned to guard key positions on the deck.

Their weapons included the Burner flamethrower, the Remington shotgun, and the Bloodletter bayonet.

Looking at the men guarding the key points, Li Ye couldn't help but ponder.

He began to consider whether the Tomorrow should build fortifications in these key locations.

the reason is simple.

First, after being upgraded to a Tier 2 city, the size and area of ​​Tomorrow have increased significantly, and the space on the deck has become much more spacious.

Secondly, during the Eternal Night and Jurassic periods, the Tomorrow encountered enemy intrusions on its deck multiple times during battles.

Therefore, deck defense has also become a focus for Liye.

As they gradually moved closer, some insects appeared in the sky.

That was the "balloon worm beast" that the mayor of Snowtop Town had mentioned.

These insects, which look like balloons and are filled with light gas, are suspended high in the air.

Li Ye turned to look at the screen; Elder David had already sent a message.

[War Sword M3: These balloon-like insects have an extremely wide detection range. They have discovered you and relayed the message to the rear.]

[WarSword M3: The Zerg swarm will be ready soon.]

[War Sword M3: Prepare for a fierce battle.]

With a whistle from the War Sword M3, the knights on its deck raised their guns and aimed at the balloon-like insects.

Through the telescope, Li Ye also saw that some knights had already been equipped with power armor.

Many people were busy in front of the power armor, carrying out final maintenance and troubleshooting; they were probably the "apprentices" in the paperwork sequence.

Looking at those balloon-like insects and beasts, Li Ye couldn't help but have a thought.

He then ordered the Black Hawk helicopter to capture a balloon bug and bring it to the deck of the Tomorrow, and took out a monster language translator.

"What is your swarm like?" he then asked.

The balloon-like insect-like creature emitted a faint hissing sound.

These sounds translate to...
"We survive, we reproduce, we plunder."

Even when Li Ye continued to ask questions, the insect simply kept repeating the same things.

Li Ye shook his head, raised his military dagger, and struck it down.

A few minutes later, the War Sword M3 sounded a warning whistle.

Li Ye picked up his binoculars and looked out, only to find that several snow-capped peaks in the distance had turned black.

That was clearly the territory where the insect swarm operated and lived.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the snow-capped peaks were covered with fungal carpets.

Elder David offered an explanation for this.

Fungal carpets are essentially living organic matter secreted by the Zerg, enabling the Zerg on them to move quickly and providing them with body repair and habitat.

It's not only the Earth-Eater that can secrete creep; in fact, many units in the swarm can secrete it.

At this very moment, a large number of diggers are traversing the snow-capped peaks, excavating various tunnels.

Meanwhile, the engineer worms traverse the snow-capped peaks through tunnels, gathering various resources. Their gathering method is quite unique: they use the large pincer-like branches on their heads to crush the mountain ore, then swallow it and carry it away.

High in the sky, groups of Gale Wyverns patrolled and kept watch. On the snow-capped peaks, large numbers of Frostblade Beasts ran about, the fungal carpet making them move as if on flat ground across the steep slopes and cliffs.

Not far away, a eroding beast was devouring the ice mountain, continuously secreting a fungal carpet.

[War Sword M3: Commence Operation.]

The next second, the cannons on its deck opened fire.

The earth-eating beast that was working was instantly hit, its body shattered in the explosions, and it crashed down amidst raging flames.

The Tomorrow and the Peacekeeper opened fire, and a barrage of firepower instantly swept across several snow-capped peaks.

The insects on the snow-capped peaks, along with the fungal carpet, were engulfed by the rolling explosions.

The wind-splitting dragons circling in the sky roared and surged forward.

They were met with anti-aircraft fire from the War Sword M3.

The War Sword M3 was equipped with more than a dozen level 2 anti-aircraft guns. Under the dense firepower of the anti-aircraft guns, the bodies of the Rending Wind Dragons were torn apart like white paper, and they fell in droves.

Occasionally, a few Gale Dragons would break through the barrage of fire and rush to the deck, opening their massive mouths and spewing out sonic waves.

The deck that was hit dented instantly.

The swarm of insects was quickly dealt with after being bombarded by three mobile cities.

[War Sword M3: Keep moving forward.]

[War Sword M3: Don't let your guard down, the battle has only just begun.]

After thinking for a moment, Li Ye asked the question that concerned him most.

[Tomorrow's Report: Elder David, does the Zerg swarm have ranged firepower?]

[War Sword M3: Yes.]
