Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 182 The Scrap Yard and the City of Buildings (4K)
"This should be the new area."

Li Ye said softly.

During the two days of sailing along the coastline, the shoreline was lined with rolling mountains.

The new land only came into his view a few minutes ago.

Li Ye put down his binoculars and frowned slightly.

This new area was completely different from what he had seen before.

It was littered with plastic waste and metal scraps, and extremely dirty and messy.

Even the nearshore waters are filled with a lot of garbage.

"What exactly is going on with this area? What level of area is it?" he wondered.

To find out the situation, Li Ye dispatched two Black Hawk helicopters to scout ahead.

The Tomorrow Alliance, on the other hand, remained docked at the shore, maintaining vigilance.

Half an hour later, the man he sent out brought back the news.

This area is full of garbage mountains and waste piles, and occasionally bounty hunters, survivor convoys, and mobile cities roam around.

In the rare quiet spots, there are makeshift shacks built by humans, as well as towns for survivors.

Some mobile cities have also built smelting plants and decomposition towers to collect waste and decompose it at high temperatures in order to extract metals.

Monster scavengers, caravans, and mobile cities occasionally roam the area.

However, everything was filthy.

What surprised Li Ye the most was that one of the Black Hawk helicopters also discovered a huge survivor settlement.

It was a planned residential community, and the residential buildings within it were quite unique.

They are all giant buildings over a thousand meters tall, covering an area of ​​approximately 0.5-0.8 square kilometers.

"Over a thousand meters? How many floors would that be?" Old Zhou was stunned upon hearing the news. "How many people can live in this building?"

Li Ye seemed lost in thought.

This level of construction is probably only achievable by high-level engineering-type mobile cities.

The driver also brought back two important pieces of information.

First, the monsters roaming in this area are level 3.

Secondly, the city walls were decorated with images of the Apocalyptic religion.

Li Ye nodded.

Level 3 monsters mean this is a level 3 area.

It was unexpected that the Apocalypse Church built these massive buildings.

Perhaps it was to resettle the survivors from Nanliuzhou?
It must be said that among the three world-class organizations, the Apocalypse Church is the most concerned about its fellow human beings.

From the very beginning until now, Li Ye's perception of this sect has clearly improved considerably.

"Shall we carry out land-based modifications and land in this area, Alliance Leader?" Fang Yong's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

“This area is too dirty, it’s best to avoid it,” Zhou Xing said hesitantly.

Li Ye's idea was the same as Zhou Xing's.

This Level 3 area is absolutely filthy! There's so much trash and debris that it's practically impossible to walk.

A mobile city, with its sheer size, can naturally crush mountains of garbage along its path, but it will also become extremely dirty.

A few seconds later, a strange noise was heard from the nearby coastline.

A wormhole suddenly appeared from the ground.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, it slowly opened, vomiting out a large amount of garbage and waste like a person.

He vomited for quite a while, and the newly generated garbage and waste piled up into a small mountain nearby.

Li Ye's expression changed.

He had a vague idea of ​​where all the garbage in the area came from.

"I see! I understand now!" Yang Zheng suddenly realized.

"What happened? Tell me in detail," Fang Yong pressed.

Yang Zhengsui patiently explained.

In the wasteland, wormholes are often used for teleportation.

But some people have found new uses for wormholes.

That's like dumping garbage into a wormhole.

In the apocalypse, people cannot have a systematic waste recycling and transportation system like in modern society.

People often burn, bury, or dump the waste indiscriminately in the wild. All of these methods are extremely unsanitary.

In a mobile city, it might be possible to feed garbage into fuel tanks for energy. However, burning garbage provides very little energy and produces a lot of harmful gases during combustion.

Just then, everyone noticed the wormhole.

This magical space appears and disappears occasionally.

If you dump trash into a wormhole, the trash will disappear along with it when the wormhole disappears.

This method is efficient, simple, and does not cause pollution.

Thus, convoys, survivor towns, mobile cities—whenever a new wormhole is discovered, all factions dump all their accumulated garbage into it.

As time went on, people made new discoveries about wormholes.

Wormholes have a limited carrying capacity. When the amount of garbage they can hold reaches its limit, they will appear in a certain area and spit out all the garbage they have loaded.

Fortunately, all the wormholes tend to cluster in one area and spew out trash.

Once this was clear, everyone could dump their trash into the wormhole with greater peace of mind.

Not only humans, but monster civilizations also dumped their garbage.

Over time, that area naturally became a designated garbage dump.

"I see!" Li Ye suddenly realized.

After ending the conversation, he returned to his room and opened the system panel.

The system CD has been refreshed in the past two days. A new round of intelligence has been updated.

Since the time limit is only 8 hours, it's not very valuable.

1. Several fish selected by the canteen chefs from the seafood section for cooking today were diseased and could cause diarrhea if consumed. (Intelligence Value: Average)

2. You are currently in the level 3 area "Junkyard," which has no monster civilization. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)

3. A fierce battle is raging between humans and monsters around the Heavenly Road passageway in the Western Wilderness. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)

4. Over the years, both human and monster world-class organizations have made numerous attempts to control the Leviathan Ocean, but all have failed. (Intelligence Value: Rare)

5. The giants have begun to expand outwards. (Intelligence Value: Rare)

Li Ye's gaze immediately locked onto these two rare pieces of information.

“The Leviathan Ocean, isn’t that the ocean where the giant fish first developed? I didn’t expect that even a world-class organization couldn’t control it.” He shook his head repeatedly.

After gaining intelligence, the giants surprisingly began to expand outwards very quickly.

Li Ye couldn't help but turn his head and look at the mountains not far away.

These mountains act as a natural barrier, separating the old civilized area from the wasteland.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

"It's no use, we definitely can't stop them."

Giants are enormous and strong, so traversing mountains and rivers is naturally no problem for them.

It's likely that even the highlands of the Western Wilderness couldn't stop it, let alone these mountains in front of us.

It's even quite possible that they're already on their way.

It might be almost here by now.

Li Ye made a decision quickly.

The message about the giants' expansion was relayed to the Apocalypse Cult leadership who managed the giant buildings, so that they could also check out the situation of these giant buildings.

He was actually very curious. However, out of caution, he didn't expect to stay in the giant building for more than an hour. He would just take a look and leave at most.

Without hesitation, Li Ye boarded a Black Hawk helicopter and set off.

Five Black Hawk helicopters and Vanguard gunships conducting strategic high-altitude patrols were also escorting the aircraft along the route.

However, Li Ye himself felt that there should be no danger in this area.

There are no level 3 monster civilizations, and even survivor shacks and towns have appeared, which means that the monsters are not putting too much pressure on humans.

The area of ​​those giant buildings was very close; it took them less than an hour to get there.

As Black Hawk helicopters landed in batches, several deacons of the Apocalypse Church approached.

"Who are you? Please state your purpose," the leading discipline officer said.

"Please take me to see your higher-ups; I have important news to report," Li Ye replied.

A few minutes later, he met the manager of the giant building.

High Bishop Albert of the Church of Apocalypse.

An elderly man in his sixties with a kind face.

“You need to leave as soon as possible. The giants of the old civilization have already begun to expand outwards,” Li Ye told him.

Albert was taken aback by what he heard.

"Thank you for your kind offer to inform us, but we are already aware of it. We have already begun evacuating our fellow humans from the waste disposal area."

Li Ye was initially puzzled, but quickly figured it out.

A world-class organization like the Apocalypse Cult is far more capable of gathering intelligence than he is.

He continued to speak.

"So, do you know that all giants possess intelligence?"

"What did you say? How is this possible?" Albert was completely stunned this time.

The expansion of mindless giants is completely different from the expansion of intelligent giants.

The high bishop was skeptical of Li Ye's explanation.

Under his guidance, Li Ye began to visit a nearby mega-building.

According to Albert, these giant buildings are called tower cities.

The origin of the city tower must be traced back to the beginning.

In the Southern Continent, the development of humankind is not optimistic.

The vast majority of the region is controlled by the monster civilization, and the survival of humanity is in grave danger.

In response, the cardinals of the Apocalypse Church proposed a solution.

Using the remote Level 3 wasteland as their base, they gathered and resettled the human compatriots of Nanliuzhou.

The cardinals discussed what buildings to construct.

If it's just building ordinary towns, it will be very troublesome.

Because wormholes constantly appear in the waste disposal area, spewing out large amounts of garbage, the sanitary environment is extremely poor.

Wormholes might appear near towns and spew out large amounts of garbage.

But as the decision-makers of the Apocalypse Church, the cardinals were by no means ordinary people.

Soon, they came up with two feasible solutions.

First, construct underground cities in the wasteland. Establish subways connecting multiple underground cities to facilitate communication between them.

Second, construct mega-buildings over a thousand meters tall. Each mega-building is an independent and self-sufficient survivor community. Each mega-building has farmland for growing food, and its base is connected to seawater via numerous pipes, which is then filtered into fresh water by a multi-stage filtration system inside the mega-building. The mega-buildings also contain a range of living facilities.

Due to the harsh external environment, the giant building is usually kept closed.

After careful consideration, the cardinals decided to adopt the second option.

They mobilized a large amount of engineering city and construction resources to build a city of buildings in the wasteland.

According to the plan, Tianqi Church has built a total of 6 residential communities.

Each community contains 5 apartment buildings, spaced 1 kilometer apart, arranged in a grid pattern.

A single building can accommodate 5 to 10 people. It is about 1650 meters high and has a total of 535 floors.

It also includes 15 underground floors.

The floor height distribution is as follows: 4 meters for the upper floor, 3 meters for the middle floor, 2.5 meters for the lower floor, and 2.5 meters for the basement floor.

The building complex is fully equipped with elevator network, circulating ventilation system, water supply system and power supply system.

However, even a world-class organization like the Apocalypse Church is somewhat overwhelmed in managing a city of tens of thousands of people.

The main problem is that the situation inside the city is extremely complicated.

The official forces of the city, comprised of bishops, administrators, and disciplinary deacons.

A group of survivors from various regions of Southern Liuzhou who chose to stick together for safety.

Countless gangs, large and small.

Marginalized groups such as scavengers, plumbers, and impoverished residents.

"So how many people did the Apocalypse Cult deploy to manage a single building in the city?" Li Ye asked curiously.

Albert paused for a moment after hearing this, and then slowly spoke.

“About 500 people.”

Li Ye was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then gently shook his head.

A single building can house tens of thousands of people, which is simply impossible to manage.

There are 6 residential communities, and each community has 5 apartment buildings.

This means that the Apocalypse Church will need to deploy a total of about 15000 people.

Even world-class organizations would find it extremely difficult to cope.

At this moment, he had already entered the city under the guidance of Bishop Albert.

The city gate is 25 meters high and 100 meters wide.

However, the giant gate was tightly sealed, and the group entered the city through small doors and passages on the side.

Soon they left the wilderness and arrived at the first floor of the city.

It's extremely dirty and extremely chaotic here.

The sign hanging on the public notice board reads "Obey management".

But the public board was riddled with bullet holes.

The floors and walls were covered in bloodstains, food scraps, and gang markings, forming a disgusting black patina.

The building has a square structure inside and out. The first floor has a large hall in the middle, and the upper floors have a hollow structure similar to a courtyard house.

At this very moment, from the railings of a building more than ten stories above, many residents are looking down at Li Ye and his group.

The vast majority of people's faces and clothes were very dirty and messy.

Upon hearing the gunshots coming from the building above, Li Ye couldn't help but turn to look at Albert.

The latter simply shrugged.

“There are just too many gangs in the city; we simply can’t manage them all. We can only barely maintain a superficial balance through official authority,” he said.

Albert also told Li Ye something.

Due to a severe shortage of manpower, the Apocalypse Cult often adopts the approach of supporting certain gangs within the city as agents to manage it.

After all, the gang members knew the situation of each floor and the residents inside and out.

In a sense, the gangs are the black gloves of the Apocalypse Cult.

When a difficult situation arises, the high-ranking bishop in charge of the city will delegate the task to the gang to handle it.

In return, they turned a blind eye to the gang's expansion and activities in the city.

But it is still a gang, and there are always all sorts of problems.

Violence and crime are rampant.
