Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 17 "You Have Become the Prey"

"By the way, what do you need so much lava spider silk for?"

He left the wilderness, curious and inquiring.

Like him, Li Jin also cast a curious glance.

Lei Jian pondered for a moment, then showed a design drawing.

[Tier 1 City Accessory - Lava Track Design Blueprint]

【Item Name: Lava Tracks】

Item Level: 1

[Additional effects: 1. Increases the traction of mobile cities by 10%. 2. Grants mobile cities the ability to climb, with a maximum climbing angle of 30 degrees.]

[Crafting Requirements: 500 units of Lava Spider Silk, 100 units of Iron Ore]

According to Lei Jian, this was what he obtained while attacking a monster town.

"These are really good urban accessories," Li Ye nodded to himself.

Compared to the standard upgraded Tier 1 tracks in the production workshop, these lava tracks are even better, and can even grant the ability to climb mobile cities.

30 degrees, that's already quite a steep incline.

A magical scene seemed to appear before his eyes: a mobile city, as large as a small mountain, nimbly climbing among the mountains using the tracks on its chassis.

According to the previous agreement, the remaining spoils will be divided between the Conqueror and the Azure at a ratio of 6:4.

The two sides got along well when dividing the iron ore coins, but when it came to the lava armor, they had some disagreements.

Since the Conqueror was the strongest and contributed the most, Lei Jian had more say.

After some negotiation, the Conqueror acquired the city component, and in compensation, the Azure received 300 units of iron ore and 300 units of coal.

Although the compensation was substantial, Li Jin couldn't help but feel a little regretful—his Azure had just been revitalized and urgently needed to increase its strength.

But to be fair, Azure's position in the Three Cities Alliance is the worst this time.

After all, Tomorrow is the owner of the information on wild bosses and the initiator of the alliance, while Conqueror is the strongest party.

But all in all, he still came out ahead this time, gaining a lot of resources. The only thing that pained Li Jin was that the Azure lost its gunner, a long-time member of the ship, and now they had to train a new one.

After the spoils were divided, Lei Jian made a request.

After fighting the Lava Spiders alone in the battle, his Conqueror is now covered in spider silk and can hardly move, so he needs to clear the silk.

In the wild, a mobile city that cannot be moved is very dangerous, so Lei Jian requested that the Azure and Tomorrow escort the Conqueror during this period.

Li Ye and Li Jin agreed without hesitation.

Having gone through this battle, the three sides have developed some camaraderie.

While expressing his gratitude, Lei Jian glanced at the Falcon assault rifle that Li Ye was holding.

"Your level 1 gun is pretty good. Could you also have some of these custom-made for me?"

His Conqueror also has Tier 1 weapons, but the submachine guns are not as powerful as assault rifles.

Li Ye nodded, and out of courtesy, he did not charge any processing fee this time.

Over the next period of time, he brought the city camouflage back to the Tomorrow and handed it over to Lin Wu for installation, and briefly took stock of his own losses.

During the battle, many lava spiders climbed onto the deck, including a spider guard.

The Tomorrow suffered damage to multiple decks and parts, but there were no casualties, although several combat personnel were injured.

As for the shells, machine gun bullets, pistol bullets, and Falcon assault rifle bullets consumed, they were thrown out like water from the start of the battle.

Roughly calculated, this battle was equivalent to destroying more than 400 units of iron ore.

Li Ye couldn't help but gasp; the costs of war were indeed high. It truly lived up to the saying, "When the cannons roar, gold flows like water."

During this time, he glanced at the corpse of the Lava Spider Queen and seemed to be deep in thought.

The loot from this wild boss is incredibly generous; it can even feed three mobile cities.

If Tomorrow's Ship is won by itself, then it's a complete windfall.

But recalling the battle just now, he shook his head slightly and dismissed the idea.

"Sigh, it's better not to be so greedy."

More than an hour later, the Conqueror cleared all the spider silk and regained power.

The three parties exchanged their hostages, bid each other farewell, and set off on their journeys.

Three mobile cities, each heading in a different direction.

In the wilderness, mobile cities generally don't plan to travel together. The reason is simple—resources found in the wild are limited, and two mobile cities together simply aren't enough to share, let alone three. Li Ye opened the system panel, and the epic intelligence report had already been updated.

And its content is
[As of now, the number of human survivors in the wasteland is:]

Number of Tier 1 mobile cities: 119

Number of Tier 2 mobile cities: 3

[Tier 1 Fortress: 16]

[Survivor Towns: 152]

[Survival Team: 63]

Survival Team: 421

Total number of participants: 173531

"Is this the kind of epic intelligence we're talking about this time?"

Amidst his astonishment, a hint of joy flashed in Li Ye's eyes.

"That's really good intelligence!"

Now, he has a clear and intuitive understanding of the entire wasteland.

He hadn't expected that there were as many as 119 Level 1 mobile cities in the wasteland.

Surprisingly, there are also 3 second-tier cities.

To his surprise, there were as many as 17 survivors in the wasteland, which far exceeded his expectations.

Surprised, he sighed again.

The entire wasteland will be destroyed in three months, and it is unknown how many people will survive.

After arranging the duty personnel, Li Ye went back to his room and took a nap.

When he woke up again, he found that it was already evening.

It was completely dark by now, and the searchlights on the Tomorrow were already on.

As he left the room, Li Ye seemed to remember something and immediately opened the system panel.

The system CD is now spinning.

[Time until next intelligence update: 15 hours, 32 minutes, and 52 seconds]

[Number of intelligence reports: 5]

Li Ye couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

This intelligence update was released in less than a day, so its value is probably not high; it's just a drop in the ocean.

Since it was already night, most of the crew of the Tomorrow had gone to rest, with only a few combat personnel on night watch, and the lookouts on the Tomorrow had also been withdrawn.

Li Ye, who had just woken up, was in high spirits and planned to wander around the Tomorrow.

Just then, he suddenly heard a faint rumbling sound coming from afar.

"This sound seems to be coming from the moving city?" he wondered.

The next second, a searchlight fell on the Tomorrow.

Li Ye paused for a moment, then looked in the direction from which the searchlights were coming.

Judging from its outline, it was clearly a mobile city.

"Tang Fang, turn on the searchlight and shine it on that mobile city!"

After shouting those words, he immediately rushed towards the watchtower.

Once atop the watchtower, Li Ye quickly picked up his binoculars and peered at the moving city.

On the flag of that mobile city was a bright red hound with fangs.

He realized it instantly.

"This is... the Scarlet Hound?"

At the same time, the other side sounded its horn.

Two short flutes, two long flutes.

This means
"You have become the prey."
