Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 148 An Emergency in the Dead of Night (4K)

Despite his excitement, Li Ye soon began to worry.

the reason is simple.

The wormhole in the Wasteland that can teleport targets to the Redridge District is located deep within the Tranquil Lake in the north and will disappear in 18 hours.

This means that Tomorrow's journey will be extremely troublesome.

First, it needs to reach the wormhole in the northeast, and then use it to reach the mountain range. Then it will spend a few hours climbing and modifying itself.

After finally reaching a flat section of road after traversing mountainous terrain, we had to switch back to land-based driving to reach the tranquil lakeside.

Then switch to water travel mode, drive into the depths of the tranquil lake, and arrive at the wormhole.

After arriving at the Red Ridge area through the wormhole, you have to switch back to land-based travel mode.

Just thinking about this series of actions sends chills down your spine.

Moreover, time is of the essence; the wormhole will disappear in 18 hours.

As he pondered this, Li Ye gently shook his head.

"This road won't work."

It seems that Tomorrow can only choose the wormhole in the southwest.

With a roar, Tomorrow changed direction and headed southwest.

As time went by, night gradually fell.

The Tomorrow ship turned on its searchlights to illuminate the road and continued its journey.

Li Ye glanced at the system; the cooldown had already finished.

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

[Number of intelligence reports: 5]

"Only 10 hours have passed, it seems the intelligence value isn't very high." He shook his head.

But overall it's not a bad thing, since it will be refreshed first thing tomorrow morning.

This intelligence round might even provide information about the region.

Suddenly, he yawned.

"It's about time to take a break," Li Ye muttered to himself.

After having a quick dinner at the communal canteen, he went back to his room to sleep.

midnight.

Li Ye, who was fast asleep, was awakened by a loud noise.

As he quickly dressed, he listened intently to the sounds around him.

On the deck, lava cannons and frost cannons were firing.

The sound of convoys one and two and storm infantry fighting vehicles accelerating could be heard from the ground.

On the upper deck, Black Hawk helicopters and Vanguard weapon gunships took off one after another.

Upon hearing these sounds clearly, Li Ye's expression immediately changed.

The fact that the Tomorrow is deploying such a large-scale armed force suggests that it is likely facing considerable trouble.

He rushed out of the room.

When he arrived on the deck, the combatants were operating the cannons and firing fiercely into the distance.

Several flares were launched into the sky, illuminating the entire area brightly.

Through the light, Li Ye could clearly see the approaching enemy.

Three Level 2 mobile cities.

He immediately rushed to the watchtower, picked up the binoculars, and looked carefully.

A defensive mobile city.

A mobile, assault-style city.

A mobile city supported by artillery.

These Tier 2 cities were not preyed upon by human forces, but rather originated from the monster faction.

The monsters that drive these mobile cities are walrus people.

In appearance, these monsters exhibit a human-like upright posture and the physiological characteristics of walruses.

Their skin was covered in thick wrinkles, and because it was too dark to see the color clearly, it only appeared to be somewhat dark.

These creatures are typically between 1.8 and 2 meters tall, with thick necks and broad shoulders, and short limbs with webbed hands and feet.

Their heads are the most distinctive feature, with a pair of prominent long teeth and small eyes.

These walrus people also wore amulets made of fish bones and seashells.

At this moment, defensive cities are already charging forward at full speed, assault cities have deployed helicopters, airships, and convoys, while artillery support cities are calculating parameters in the distance, preparing for bombardment.

The Tomorrow then fired multiple smoke shells to conceal its own position.

This order was issued by Lin Wu.

The conditions in the wild are complex and ever-changing, and full of dangers.

To ensure that the Tomorrow can be deployed to combat at any time, the combat personnel in the city are basically on standby in shifts.

The person in charge of command on weekdays is Li Ye.

But no matter how energetic he is, he cannot be on duty 24 hours a day.

Therefore, when he was sleeping and resting, Lin Wu or Lao Zhou would usually take over command in case of emergencies.

Li Ye nodded, then spoke into the megaphone on the watchtower.

"I have arrived."

"Understood. I will hand over command to you immediately," Lin Wu replied.

Li Ye chuckled softly upon hearing this.

Now we don't need to be so formal; just saying it is enough.

Immediately afterwards, he stared intently at the three monster-moving cities in the distance and picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Ning Wen, fire frost shells at the enemy's defensive city, remember to aim at its tires and tracks!"

"Tang Fang, if the Frost Shell misses and fails to disable its mobility, remember to maneuver and evade!"

"Caravan number one and two, and Storm infantry fighting vehicles, intercept the enemy convoy!"

"Black Hawk helicopters are responsible for strafing enemy aircraft!"

Finally, he looked at the distant city with fire support and spoke coldly.

"Pioneer gunships, prioritize taking out that fire support city! Black Hawk helicopters can provide escort support if necessary!"

"Received." The voice of the gunship's communications officer came through the walkie-talkie.

The next second, the vanguard gunship accelerated and sped toward the fire support city.

The walrus people immediately tensed up.

Judging from its size and imposing presence, this is undoubtedly a Level 3 flight vehicle.

And the weapons it carries are even more terrifying.

With a whistle, enemy airships, jet planes, and helicopters deployed in the sky quickly surged toward the vanguard gunship.

At the same time, six Black Hawk helicopters also headed towards the enemy.

Both sides engaged in fierce advance and counter-advance operations centered around the vanguard armed gunships.

The leaden clouds were torn apart by the violent air currents, and the human and monster aircraft clashed fiercely in the low sky.

The rotors of several Black Hawk helicopters roared as they tore through the air, their fuselages spinning at near-sideways angles, machine guns spitting fire, and ammunition rained down on the enemy aircraft.

Several Hellfire lightweight missiles were launched from both sides of its wings, exploding into a series of orange fireballs in the sky.

The enemy's aircraft were also formidable, consisting entirely of Tier 2 airships, Tier 2 aircraft, and Tier 2 helicopters, equipped with machine guns and light missiles.

The Black Hawk helicopter formation was at a severe disadvantage in the battle because the enemy had as many as twenty or thirty aircraft.

Just then, the Vanguard gunship took action. Its BK-27 rotary heavy machine gun opened fire, and the crimson ammunition belts instantly engulfed several enemy airships.

These airships were instantly torn to pieces by the strafing, crashing to the ground amidst billowing smoke and turning into burning fireballs.

Immediately afterwards, the Avenger rocket launchers under the gunship's wings and the AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles on the pylons were activated, unleashing a massive barrage of seventy rockets and missiles.

Enemy jet planes and helicopters rained down one after another.

During this period, they attempted to concentrate their firepower to attack the vanguard armed gunships.

However, as a Tier 3 vehicle, the gunship not only has powerful firepower, but also a relatively thick fuselage.

With the support of the Black Hawk helicopter squadron, the aerial battle became particularly easy.

Meanwhile, fierce fighting broke out on the ground.

Convoys 1 and 2, along with Storm infantry fighting vehicles, engaged the enemy's advancing convoy.

The walrus convoy also consisted of Tier 2 off-road vehicles, and the crews were equipped with Tier 2 heavy machine guns and Tier 2 rocket launchers.

Among them were even three Tier 2 infantry fighting vehicles!

Illuminated by flares, the convoy wove a web of death with its firepower.

The off-road vehicles charged and circled at various angles, exchanging fire with each other.

The roar of vehicle engines was drowned out by the deafening gunfire, and the ammunition belts lashed out at every area nearby like the Grim Reaper's whip.

1000 meters, 900 meters, 800 meters.
The enemy's defensive mobile city is getting closer and closer to Tomorrow.

The Hunter Cannons and Frost Cannons on the deck of the Tomorrow opened fire.

The Hunter Cannon's shells transformed into a giant mass of slime in mid-air, instantly trapping the left half of the defensive city. Meanwhile, a frost shell exploded to its right, instantly freezing its tires and tracks.

In an instant, this defensive city lost its balance.

As several combat personnel pulled the firing pins, the four Level 2 lava cannons opened fire.

An unprecedentedly violent explosion instantly engulfed the defensive city.

"We took it down!"

Li Ye immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But he was soon stunned again.

Because an energy barrier had been generated around this defensive city.

"It actually has an energy shield device?" Li Ye was stunned.

What shocked him even more was that the energy barrier actually withstood the salvo from four lava cannons!

He instantly realized what was happening, and his pupils slowly widened.

"This is a Level 3 energy shield device!"

It's not just the Level 2 city of Tomorrow that can obtain Level 3 items; other Level 2 cities on the human side, and even the moving cities on the monster side, can do the same!

Li Ye shook his head with a sigh.

Equipping a level 2 defensive city with a level 3 energy shield—these walrus people are really willing to go to great lengths.

But this has one advantage: it elevates the defensive capabilities of this defensive city to a new level.

In city battles, it's practically unstoppable. It can be launched like a cannonball to breach the enemy lines.

At this moment, the assault city had reached within 3 kilometers of the Tomorrow and began firing at it.

Meanwhile, the distant city providing fire support launched a volley of fire, and the overwhelming barrage instantly engulfed the Tomorrow.

The Tomorrow immediately began maneuvering to evade, and activated its energy shield.

Li Ye was too lazy to bother with that defensive city anymore.

He knew that defensive cities typically carried large amounts of fuel to maintain their energy systems.

In that case, Tomorrow doesn't need to waste its four lava cannons firing at it simultaneously.

Although we can't destroy it, leaving the wilderness can still annoy it.

With a wave of his hand, the Hunter cannons of the Tomorrow opened fire in succession, and clumps of giant slime stuck to the defensive city.

It will be unable to continue moving for the time being.

When Li Ye looked up at the sky, he saw that most of the enemy's flying vehicles had been shot down.

"Reporting to the lord, we have successfully gained air superiority."

The voice of the gunship's communications officer came through the walkie-talkie.

"Alright! Now take out their fire support cities! Black Hawk helicopters, go support the convoys on the ground!"

As he nodded, Li Ye continued.

"Normally call me Lord, but in battle call me Commander."

Under his gaze, the vanguard gunship flew over the fire support city.

BK-27 rotary heavy machine gun, Odin's Hammer 105mm heavy howitzer, Avenger rocket launcher, AIM-9 Sidewinder missile, MK80 general-purpose bomb.
This terrifying aerial behemoth unleashed its full power.

In just a few seconds, this fire support city was engulfed in a violent explosion.

After witnessing the deaths of their comrades, the assault city acted swiftly.

It fired several smoke shells in all directions, enveloping itself in them.

Not only that, it also fired smoke shells at the besieged defensive cities to help cover them.

Li Ye was taken aback when he saw this, and then nodded slightly.

"He's quite smart."

After all, it was the next target of the Vanguard gunship.

His gaze then fell on the defensive city shrouded in smoke not far away.

"How about we take it out with the Vanguard gunships?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Ye gently shook his head, dismissing the idea.

The enemy has a level 3 energy shield, and it's unclear how much firepower the gunships will need to expend to deplete it.

There aren't many level 2 iron ore ore on Tomorrow, so let's try to save as much as possible.

Just then, another level 2 mobile city appeared in the distance.

They are still walruses, and they are assault-type.

The Tier 2 city was cautious, and it clearly noticed the gunships circling overhead.

Seeing this, Li Ye was too lazy to get entangled with the enemy any longer.

He ordered the withdrawal of Convoys 1 and 2, Storm infantry fighting vehicles, and Black Hawk helicopters.

Meanwhile, the vanguard gunships circled nearby, deterring the enemy.

This time, the walrus hunters did not continue the pursuit.

Before long, Tomorrow escaped the enemy.

After the battle, Tomorrow began its routine maintenance and obstacle removal for the city and vehicles.

Meanwhile, the new survivors from the desert region who had just entered the Tomorrow clenched their fists, their hearts pounding with excitement.

They witnessed the entire battle of the Tomorrow.

This Level 2 mobile city is far more powerful than they imagined.

The vast majority of these survivors chose to become combatants. At this moment, unable to contain their excitement, they approached Li Ye and expressed their desire to immediately join the battle.

Li Ye simply waved his hand in response.

"You've just joined Tomorrow, so you need to gradually get used to each other and train in the simulation training pod."

"But I can assure you that you will have plenty of opportunities to fight in the future."

After explaining these things, he looked in the direction where he had previously clashed with the walrus people and couldn't help but frown.

"Speaking of which, what exactly is the situation in this area?"

With his doubts in mind, he convened a meeting in the cockpit to discuss the situation in this area.
