Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 155 Fighting with Fish (4K)
"Report, the Iron Whale has destroyed this giant fish."

Fang Yong reported.

"Well done," Li Ye nodded.

Through the searchlight, he saw the giant fish floating belly up on the surface of the water.

The other person's large, round eyes made him feel quite uncomfortable.

"Wow, what a huge fish! If we moved it to the mobile city, it would last us for days," Zhou Xing exclaimed. "Why don't we just scoop it up?"

“It’s best not to do that,” Yang Zheng’s voice followed. “I’ve heard people say that humans who eat the flesh of these giant fish will turn into monsters.”

After some discussion, the four decided to give up on retrieving the giant fish.

The four mobile cities continued their journey.

Li Ye had no intention of going back to sleep. He left the room and walked along the deck to the cockpit.

Tang Fang is currently on duty in the driver's cab, while A Bai has gone to sleep.

To Li Ye's surprise, Lin Wu was also there.

He is reading a book right now.

"This is the science fiction novel 'Six Bodies'." He waved the book in his hand toward Li Ye.

Li Ye curiously cast his gaze towards it.

"Did a monster drop it?" he asked.

Lin Wu shook his head.

"This was published by the Apocalypse Church. When I was buying design drawings for daily necessities in the Red Ridge District, I found the book for sale in the Apocalypse Church's shop, so I bought a few copies."

"Oh, I see. How much does one book cost?"

"Usually between 50 and 200 crystal coins."

As he answered, a hint of emotion appeared in Lin Wu's eyes.

"As expected of a world-class organization, they actually have the capability to publish science fiction novels in the wasteland. They even have the resources to cultivate talent for writing science fiction."

Li Ye nodded repeatedly.

The resources of these world-class organizations are still outrageous.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside.

Li Ye turned his head and saw a cook from the public canteen carrying a plate into the room.

There were two bowls of noodles on the plate, each with a fried egg.

Clearly, this was Lin Wu and Tang Fang's late-night snack.

The Tomorrow's public dining hall does not sell late-night snacks; it closes at 7 p.m.

However, the two men, as the second-in-command and the helmsman, possessed this privilege.

"Would you like me to make you a bowl too, my lord?" the cook asked cautiously.

"No need," Li Ye waved his hand. "You've worked hard too, go and get some rest."

The three then started chatting in the driver's seat.

Tang Fang had already set up the autopilot system and was now slurping down his noodles.

Thanks to the improved food on the Tomorrow, he is no longer as thin as before.

The two ate noodles, while Li Ye pondered a question.

"Why do you think this fish is heading towards the Tomorrow Alliance?" he asked, puzzled.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Wu gave his answer.

"Do you remember what Dr. Mick once told us?"

"what?"

He said that these giant fish's favorite food is humans.

Under the astonished gazes of Li Ye and Tang Fang, Lin Wu made his own deduction.

The giant fish may be very sensitive to the noises made by the moving cities, and they may even know that there are a large number of humans on these steel behemoths.

The giant fish that had just arrived knew this situation and rushed over to feed.

Tang Fang slowly put down his chopsticks and said hesitantly.

"Brother Lin's guess makes a lot of sense."

Li Ye nodded slowly.

Just then, his walkie-talkie rang.

"Report! Emergency situation 10 nautical miles ahead. (Sea, nautical mile)"

The panicked voice of the Seahawk anti-submarine aircraft's communications officer came through the walkie-talkie.

"Calm down and speak slowly!" Li Ye said quickly.

"There are hundreds, even thousands, of large objects in the sea! They look like a school of giant fish!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Fang and Lin Wu's expressions changed instantly. They quickly put down the noodles in their hands and took their places.

"If we turn around and speed away now, will we be able to avoid them in time?" Tang Fang asked while rapidly operating the vehicle.

"Absolutely not!" Lin Wu quickly shook his head. "These giant fish are coming for us! In the sea, they are much more agile and faster than mobile cities!"

Li Ye then picked up the walkie-talkie and issued a series of orders.

The Alliance will enter a state of maximum alert tomorrow.

The Iron Whale then gradually accelerated and entered a state of complete city lockdown.

This defensive mobile city will stand at the forefront of the formation, acting as a shield.

The Engineer and the Peacekeeper slowed down and came to the back of the column.

The Tomorrow began to deploy a large number of combat forces.

Black Hawk helicopters and Vanguard gunships took off one after another.

The first and second convoys and the Flight III destroyer sailed out in turn.

On the deck, the combat personnel quickly took their positions.

The Engineer then launched multiple flares, illuminating the area.

Li Ye arrived at the watchtower and picked up the binoculars to look around.

The sea ahead is boiling.

Thousands upon thousands of giant fish burst from the water, their enormous bodies flashing past the searchlights of the mobile city.

They moved forward in dense, crowded masses, covering the entire sea surface as far as the eye could see.

Li Ye frowned deeply.

This is a really big problem.

One or two giant fish pose no threat to a mobile city. However, a large group of giant fish increases their threat level dramatically.

The underwater environment provides natural cover for the giant fish, allowing them to move freely in the unobstructed sea, making them difficult for conventional weapons from mobile cities to target.

Most terrifyingly, these giant fish might swarm and crash into the hulls of the moving city, causing it to break, leak, and sink.

As the fish drew ever closer, he spoke softly into the walkie-talkie.

"Yang Zheng, fire!"

In an instant, all the cannons on the Peacemaker opened fire.

Instant artillery fire swept across the sea ahead, with explosions rolling across the surface and columns of water carrying smoke and bubbles rising one after another.

Countless giant fish were blasted to pieces, while others, provoked, frantically pushed their companions out of the water.

With a whooshing sound, Tomorrow's air combat forces arrived above the school of fish.

Six Black Hawk helicopters sped forward, conducting a carpet-bombing of schools of fish that occasionally leaped out of the water.

The Vanguard gunships unleashed their full firepower: BK-27 rotary heavy machine guns, Odin's Hammer heavy howitzers, Avenger rocket pods, and AIM Sidewinder missiles.
While unleashing a barrage of fire at the school of fish, the gunship's bomb bay opened, and the MK6 depth charges it had loaded rained down.

These light gray depth charges traced brief arcs in the air before falling into the water with a slight tremor.

In order to effectively kill the fish, the crew specially set the triggering method to a hydraulic fuse 30 meters deep.

5 meters, 15 meters, 25 meters.
Beneath the dark, chaotic, and frenzied waters churned by schools of fish, the depth charge's fuse flashed red several times.

In an instant, the seawater seemed to be struck by several invisible giant fists.

The blinding white light expanded into a spherical shape, and the shock wave formed a transparent wall of water that was visible to the naked eye and spread out, with huge columns of water rising one after another.

The fish were torn in half, and the mangled flesh rose with the explosion, forming a bloody mist.

This is not over yet.

With a wave of his hand, the deck guns of the Tomorrow opened fire.

The lava cannons and frost cannons struck the area ahead in an instant, and the explosions created a purgatory of ice and fire.

Under the bombardment of the Tomorrow Alliance, half of the originally surging fish were killed or wounded.

The remaining half of the giant fish did not flinch; instead, they accelerated their advance toward the mobile cities.

At this moment, they are less than 300 meters away from Tomorrow Alliance.

The Iron Whale suddenly accelerated, rushing forward like a cannonball breaking through enemy lines.

But the giant fish showed no sign of backing down.

Seemingly amplified by the intense bombardment, or perhaps craving the "food" within these steel behemoths, the giant fish became even more turbulent and frenzied, charging forward relentlessly!

"Boom!"

When the first giant fish struck the hull of the Iron Whale, Fang Yong and the others heard the muffled thud.

Then came the second, the third, and countless other giant fish that charged suicidally into the city. Their scales shattered against the ship's hull, and their blood and flesh splattered across the surface like fish paint.

From above, the Iron Whale looks like a metal can surrounded by a school of fish.

Its momentum gradually slowed down, and its speed also gradually decreased.

The defensive city began to tremble, as if it were being bombarded by countless iron hammers.

The giant fish never stopped.

They charged forward relentlessly, using their bodies as weapons to crash into the city. Gradually, dents appeared on the Iron Whale's sturdy hull.

During this period, many giant fish appeared to leap out of the water one after another.

Their massive tails swung wildly in the air, adjusted their angle, and leaped onto the deck of the Iron Whale.

"boom!"

When the giant fish landed, the deck shook violently, causing nearby railings and other structures to tremble as well.

This time, dozens of giant fish landed on various parts of the Iron Whale's deck.

They thrashed their tails and thrashed about, their thick mouths opening and closing, their bulging eyes bulging, as they began searching for food on the deck.

Even when out of the sea, these giant fish are quite agile.

They crawl like seals using their pectoral and pelvic fins, and their spines spring together to generate energy for leaping.

Li Ye, who was on the watchtower, clearly saw this scene and couldn't help but frown.

A group of fish, some tens of meters long, were splashing and moving on the deck of the mobile city, a sight that was enough to cause intense physical discomfort.

"Did you see that?" Lin Wu's voice came through the walkie-talkie. "Judging from the giant fish's skillful movements on the deck, they've become accustomed to hunting humans in mobile cities."

Li Ye nodded slowly.

He couldn't imagine how many mobile cities that had sailed out to sea had been ravaged by the giant fish.

Fortunately, the Iron Whale had closed its deck and entered a sealed state, so the giant fish could not hunt humans inside.

"My God." In the already sealed cockpit, Fang Yong saw these scenes on the deck.

The others in the cockpit were also dumbfounded.

With a thud, a giant fish thrashed its body and crashed into the cockpit.

Its head was close to the cockpit window, its bulging eyes rolling around as it began to scrutinize the humans inside.

Immediately afterwards, the giant fish began to frantically ram the cockpit.

However, as a defensive mobile city, the Iron Whale's structures were quite sturdy and robust. Even after the giant fish crashed into it, its skull dented and bleeding profusely, the cockpit remained completely unmoved.

Seeing this, Fang Yong gradually felt relieved.

"See that? Although it's huge, it's ultimately just a stupid thing with no intelligence, only knowing how to use brute force! We have absolutely no reason to be afraid of them!"

As if hearing his words, the giant fish outside suddenly stopped moving.

Its eyes darted around, staring intently through the cockpit at Fang Yong inside.

The cockpit fell silent instantly.

Fang Yong's mouth was wide open, and a bead of sweat fell from his forehead.

"Hey, can't be that smart?" he muttered.

On the other side, under the command of Li Ye, the entire crew of the Tomorrow Ship were engaged in a fierce battle against the attacking swarm of fish.

Because several rounds of bombing had already been carried out, and the Iron Whale had taken the lead and absorbed most of the pressure, the battle went quite smoothly.

The Tomorrow, operating at full power, attracted the attention of the vast majority of giant fish.

They quickly crossed the deck and returned to the cockpit.

Centered on the Tomorrow, the first and second fleets, Black Hawk helicopters, Flight III destroyers, and Vanguard gunships began to unleash a barrage of firepower.

Under the intense barrage of fire, a large number of giant fish were killed or killed.

Li Ye looked out the cockpit window at the fish carcasses floating on the sea.

The vast majority of these giant fish have streamlined bodies, small scales, and silvery-white bellies.

"This looks like...herring?" he muttered to himself.

In the ocean, herrings are fish that move in extremely large groups, often numbering in the millions.

Compared to the herrings on Earth that are 20-40 centimeters long, the herrings here are over ten meters long.

Its size and scale make it all the more terrifying.

Not only herring, but other fish species were also spotted outside the area.

The wrasse is 70 to 80 meters long, with a laterally compressed body, a small mouth, thick lips, and sharp teeth.

A grouper that is hundreds of meters long, with a robust body, a huge mouth and a protruding lower jaw, and sharp teeth.

The anglerfish has a short, stout body, a huge head, a wide mouth full of sharp teeth, and a glowing camouflage "fishing rod" on its dorsal fin.

Flying fish with strong tails, explosive power, and the ability to leap hundreds of meters out of the water.

The most outrageous thing is that it was an eel that was two or three hundred meters long.

Despite the intense gunfire, the giant fish rammed into the hull of the Tomorrow, leaving a noticeable dent.

Li Ye watched these scenes unfold and couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly.

"I never imagined that our first naval battle as the Tomorrow Alliance would be against fish," he remarked. "And it was such a fierce battle."

Lin Wu also shook his head repeatedly.

"From this perspective, the threat posed by these giant sea fish is far greater than that of monster-infested cities!"

During this time, many giant fish leaped onto the deck.

They were met with barrages of fire from Crimson Ripper machine guns, Burner flamethrowers, and Remington shotguns.

This time, all the combatants who opened fire stayed close to the cover.

After all, in the previous battles against the zombie horde and dinosaurs, Li Ye had fully realized the importance of deck defense.
