Chapter 147 A Survivor Community in the Desert (4K)
After pondering for a moment, Li Ye made his request.

He wanted to ask Gallas to look after his colleagues who were drilling for natural gas.

After a moment of contemplation, Garras let out another low growl.

Mick then nodded to Li Ye.

"It agreed."

"That's good!"

Li Ye immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

With a majestic monster helping to guard him, he could feel much more at ease.

He originally intended to leave the Vanguard gunship to his companions as well.

With the Tomorrow completed its land-based conversion, Rino ordered it to head towards the wormhole in the Asakaya region.

During this time, he glanced at the map description.

The wormhole in the valley will only exist for 3 hours and will be a one-way wormhole, with the teleportation location being the desert area.

There are two wormholes in the desert area. One wormhole directly teleports to a region in the northernmost part of the Western Wilderness, while the other teleports to the archipelago area.

Although the full map of the Western Wilderness was enabled this time, the map did not list the name and level of each region in detail.

However, during this period, Li Ye gained a general understanding of the southern region of the Western Wilderness Continent.

Wasteland, Basin, Desert, Jurassic, Eternal Night, Valley, Archipelago, Gobi, Plain
In addition, there is the plateau region that stretches across the central part of the continent and extends southward.

Li Ye was able to distinguish between the desert and archipelago areas because he saw that one was located south of the wasteland area and the other was located south of the Jurassic area.

The Valley region occupied by the Tomorrow Alliance is located in the southeasternmost corner of the Western Wilderness Continent, and its area is very small.

During the journey, Li Ye frowned and began to plan the route.

After all, there are many wormholes on the map, and their teleportation locations, durations, and directions are all different.

If you don't plan well, it's easy for things to go wrong.

The most outrageous thing is that some wormholes teleport people from land to water, or from the ground to high altitudes. These wormholes are clearly unplanned and must be excluded from the recommended routes.

What Li Ye wants is a route that starts in the Valley region, safely leads to the Red Ridge region in the northern part of the Western Wilderness, and eventually returns to the Valley region.

However, there are currently 301 wormholes on the map, and more and more are constantly disappearing or being added.

As I watched Li Ye, I felt like my brain was about to overload and burn out.

"I'll teleport to the desert area first, and then jump to the northernmost region," he thought.

The crew of the Tomorrow were taken aback when they saw the wormhole appear in their field of vision.

Li Ye immediately issued the order to drive in.

As the Tomorrow approached, the new crew members on the Tomorrow were still panicking, while the veterans were already used to it.

Our lord always seems to have divine assistance, always managing to give all sorts of ingenious instructions.

As Tomorrow sailed out of the wormhole, a vast desert stretched out before them.

Looking out, the sand dunes, large and small, resembled rolling golden waves.

To the north lies an endless expanse of Gobi Desert, with rubble and weathered rock exposed on the surface, occasionally revealing towering cliffs or strangely shaped stone pillars formed by wind erosion.

The south is characterized by dried-up riverbeds and cracked saline-alkali land.

There are also scattered drought-resistant plants in the desert, such as camel thorn and cactus, which tenaciously take root in the barren sand.

It was nearly noon, and the scorching sun beat down on the earth, distorting the distant scenery with its heat.

Li Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead and squinted slightly.

During my conversations with Zhou Xing and the others these days, we talked about desert terrain.

This type of terrain is quite unfriendly to mobile cities.

First, deserts lack a clear surface and the dunes are constantly moving, making it difficult to determine direction.

Secondly, when operating in the desert, the structure of the mobile city needs to balance lightweight design with high strength to withstand the expansion and contraction caused by extreme temperature differences between day and night. Furthermore, the mobile city must also have a coating or insulation layer on its outer shell to reduce heat absorption.

Third, the desert is frequently hit by strong winds, and even sandstorms. Sand and dust can easily seep into parts of mobile cities, causing mechanical failures.

Fourth, the desert also contains soft sand, rugged rocky terrain, shifting sands, and ravines. Traveling is extremely difficult.

Fifth, water scarcity.

Various factors have led to very few mobile cities being willing to venture into the desert for survival.

As for bounty hunters and survivor caravans, needless to say.

However, the desert does have one advantage: it receives abundant sunshine year-round. If mobile cities have urban components similar to solar panels, they can generate electricity and provide energy.

Li Ye immediately ordered the troops to head northeast.

According to the map, Tomorrow is 5 hours away from the wormhole to the northeast.

As he gave the order, he casually fanned himself with his hand.

This awful weather is really unbearable.

Due to the scorching heat, the vast majority of residents chose to return to their rooms to rest. The combat personnel on duty on deck also sought shade.

Li Ye, holding an umbrella and carrying a bottle of cola, went to the watchtower to observe.

After all, it's a rare opportunity to visit a new area, so enjoying the scenery along the way is a good idea.

But soon, he frowned.

Suddenly, a light airship appeared in the distant sky.

It belongs neither to humans nor monsters, but to the zombies.

The zombie airship was painted in a desert style, and its hull emitted a foul stench due to the high temperature.

At this moment, it is swaying in the wind like a balloon.

It's not unusual to see zombie airships in the desert, since the zombie civilization has already conquered the desert region.

"That's disgusting. Shoot it down!" Li Ye waved his hand.

A Black Hawk helicopter was immediately dispatched and strafeeded the zombie airship.

After completing its mission, it did not return, but instead headed forward to clear the way.

To Li Ye's surprise, the Tomorrow Express also passed by a survivor community.

The survivor community is located in a small valley.

If it weren't for one survivor desperately shouting towards Tomorrow, they would never have been found.

The first thing that catches the eye is a defensive fortification: a ten-meter-high wall made of abandoned vehicles, rusted steel plates, and concrete fragments. Outside the wall, there is a "minefield" where survivors have buried homemade, makeshift high-pressure gas cylinders in the ground; any zombies that step on them will be blown to pieces.

Secondly, there were survivor dwellings pieced together from shipping containers, abandoned vehicles, and tents. A small bell hung at the door of each dwelling, making a hollow sound when the wind blew. The roofs were covered with ordinary solar panels.

Next came a makeshift workshop and armory, where several survivors were modifying weapons, with crudely made guns and bullets piled on the workbench.

In the small valley, there is also a pond connected to an underground river, with rows and rows of cacti planted there.

Upon closer inspection, Li Ye discovered that these cacti were actually level 1 crops.

【Item Name: Sandthroat Cactus】

[Level: Level 1]

[Bonus effects: 1. Drought resistance 2. Grows in five days] This is clearly the staple food of these survivors.

After all, both the stem and flesh of the cactus are edible.

After a brief exchange, Li Ye learned that these survivors were not locals of the desert region, but rather refugees who had fled from the wasteland region.

Some of them were bounty hunters, while others came from survivor convoys.

Some were originally residents of the mobile city, who managed to escape when the mobile city fell to the zombies' zombie cannons.

There were a total of 46 survivors.

In order to survive, they bravely endured the harsh climate of the desert, worked hard to search for supplies, and fought against the zombie horde.

Some ventured into the fallen mobile cities to scavenge for supplies, while others drove around mining scarce resources in the wild.

Through arduous accumulation, this community gradually acquired level 1 artillery, level 1 heavy machine guns, and various level 1 weapons.

In fact, this team is also very strong.

This is mainly because the vast majority of them are bounty hunters.

Those who survive in the wild are well-equipped and have outstanding combat capabilities.

The survivors were quite surprised by the sudden appearance of Tomorrow, a Level 2 mobile city.

After pondering for a moment, Li Ye made up his mind.

"Why don't you just board the Tomorrow?" he waved his hand.

The survivors were naturally overjoyed at the suggestion to leave the wilderness.

They quickly gathered all the community resources and moved them into Tomorrow.

Li Ye arranged for the city's neighborhood committee to receive the survivors and have them carefully check whether they were infected.

After that came the routine of arranging rooms, distributing daily necessities, and providing food and water.

Looking at the room filled with daily necessities, and then at the food and water in their hands, the survivors exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief.

They were quite surprised to learn that joining the Tomorrow Ship would not mean becoming a slave and that there was even a promotion system.

Almost everyone chose to become a combatant.

On the one hand, it's because everyone has rich combat experience, and on the other hand, it's because the treatment of combat personnel is indeed good.

Li Ye wasn't in a hurry to incorporate them into the team. Instead, he arranged for Lao Zhou, Lin Wu, and the city neighborhood committee to let these survivors integrate into the Tomorrow first and gradually get them used to each other.

Actually, he doesn't need to worry about that, because these people usually have families with them, including the elderly, children, spouses, and friends.
With these ties in place, these people would naturally work hard to help them settle down on the Tomorrow as soon as possible and to improve their living standards.

After completing the incorporation, Tomorrow continued its journey toward its destination.

During this time, Li Ye obtained a packet of level 1 sand-throat cactus seeds from the survivors and arranged for the residents to plant them in the fields.

This way, the dining table on Tomorrow will be more abundant.

One of the survivors hesitated for a long time before walking up to Li Ye.

"Are you still short-handed? There are several survivor communities nearby, and we keep in touch with them regularly."

After a moment's hesitation, Li Ye nodded in agreement.

"Alright, then you can lead the way."

In the following period, Tomorrow visited several more survivor communities and recruited survivors.

The number of people, scattered here and there, has already reached more than two hundred.

"That should be about right." Li Ye nodded.

After all, Tomorrow's Ship currently only has about 500 people in total, so absorbing more than 200 people at once is already a lot. It will need to be digested slowly.

Along the way, they also found a lot of zombies in the wilderness.

Some are zombie squads patrolling in desert off-road vehicles, some are watchtowers built in the desert, and some are level 1 zombie cities.

The zombie civilization is controlling and managing this level 1 area.

However, overall, their deployment in desert areas is not very strong.

The reason is simple: the desert area has a harsh environment and scarce resources, making it a level 1 area that is disliked by both humans and dogs.

Under Li Ye's orders, Tomorrow also cleared out a lot of zombie forces along the way.

As evening fell, Tomorrow arrived at the wormhole.

As they entered the wormhole, Li Ye rubbed his hands together and took a deep breath.

This time, the wormhole can directly teleport the target to the northernmost area of ​​the wasteland.

As seen on the map, the area is quite large.

"I wonder if this is a level 1 or level 2 area," he thought to himself.

Given that the situation was completely unknown, Li Ye made preparations for battle.

Combat personnel took their positions on the deck in turn, Black Hawk helicopters and Vanguard gunships were ready to take off at any time, and convoys one and two and Storm infantry fighting vehicles were ready on the elevator platform.

Only after completing all this did he order the Tomorrow to enter the wormhole.

When Tomorrow emerged from the wormhole, Li Ye saw a scene completely different from the desert region.

Before him lay a vast white wasteland, with nothing but endless ice and snow stretching as far as the eye could see.

A biting wind howled past, swirling up fine snowflakes that formed a hazy mist in the low sky.

"Is this...the ice field?" he asked hesitantly.

Immediately afterwards, he sneezed.

One second they were in a hot desert region, and the next they were switched to this cold region. Their bodies obviously couldn't withstand it.

At this moment, the deck of Tomorrow was filled with a series of sneezes.

Li Ye quickly returned to his room and put on thick clothes.

Back on the watchtower, looking around at the surrounding scenery, he couldn't help but stroke his chin.

Compared to the southern part of the Western Wilderness Continent, he was completely clueless about the situation in the northern part of the Western Wilderness Continent.

We know absolutely nothing about the human forces that exist here, whether there are predatory cities, or whether there is a monster civilization.

Through the system map, Li Ye only learned the following scattered information.

First, the wormhole in the desert area teleported him to the central part of this unknown region.

Second, there are a total of three wormholes in this unknown region. One is located 154 kilometers to the northeast. One is located 331 kilometers to the southwest. And the other is located about 15 kilometers away.

However, this nearest wormhole is completely off-limits, as it will teleport you to the shallow sea on the left side of the central part of the Western Wilderness Continent. Any ordinary person who dares to step in will be instantly killed.

As for the remaining two wormholes...

The wormhole located in the northeast is a two-way wormhole that will teleport people to the mountainous area in the western part of the wasteland, and will disappear after 15 hours, 25 minutes and 32 seconds.

The wormhole located in the southwest is a one-way wormhole that will teleport people to another unknown northern region of the Western Wilderness Continent, and will disappear after 3 days, 1 hour, 16 minutes and 6 seconds.

Li Ye's gaze followed the wormhole to the northeast and arrived at the wasteland.

The wasteland has a wormhole, and the location teleported by the wormhole is the Red Ridge area of ​​the Western Wasteland.

His eyes lit up instantly.
