Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 183 "Hide Yourself, Find the Enemy" (4.2K)
"It's really chaotic," Li Ye remarked sincerely.

"Gun and knife control has always been a problem that has been troubling us."

Albert said slowly.

"After all, they are survivors living in the wasteland, and the vast majority of them carry guns."

"Although the Apocalypse Church conducted body searches upon entering the city, many people still managed to bring in guns and knives through various means."

Whether the city was in chaos or not could be seen from the 30 disciplined deacons who accompanied them.

Under Albert's guidance, Li Ye observed the various facilities within the city.

A water supply station, a public canteen, a medical clinic, an educational center providing various books, and a small recreation plaza.
Albert told Li Ye that the city had existed for more than twenty years.

Despite its chaotic internal management and numerous problems, its long existence has proven its viability.

After nodding, Li Ye raised the question that interested him most.

"Bishop Albert, how many regions in Southern Liuzhou are under human control?"

“Just the junkyard,” Bishop Albert replied.

Two to three million survivors living in the junkyard.

The remnants of a resistance organization with over 200,000 members in the old civilized district.

This is the main population of humans in the Southern Liuzhou.

The reason why the monsters tacitly allow the existence of the city in the junkyard is because the humans have ceded some of their interests in the world.

Currently, the Apocalypse Church needs to organize the evacuation of these two to three million survivors within a few days.

This is clearly a huge and troublesome problem.

All the high-ranking bishops in charge of managing the city were in a state of utter chaos.

"So where do you plan to retreat to?" Li Ye asked curiously.

According to his speculation, the Apocalypse Cult would likely use air transport to transfer the two to three million survivors to a small island in the ocean.

This way, there is more land available, making resettlement easier and even facilitating the construction of new homes.

However, Bishop Albert shook his head upon hearing this.

"The situation at sea is far worse than on land."

“Islands inhabited by a large number of survivors are vulnerable to large-scale attacks by monster civilizations.”

"Unless it's a mobile island equipped with teleportation devices that can move large numbers of people."

Li Ye's expression changed upon hearing this.

Did we never imagine that the ocean situation had deteriorated to this extent?

Land is ultimately too dangerous. Tomorrow's Alliance should just sail slowly along the coastline and find a suitable place to land and develop in Southern Liuzhou.

However, Bishop Albert couldn't help but laugh when he heard his idea.

"Who told you that it's safe to drive along the coastline and find a suitable place to land?" he said casually.

From this high-ranking bishop of the Apocalypse Church, Li Ye learned about the situation in the seas of Nanliuzhou.

Nanliuzhou is bordered by the Terranes Ocean to the north and the Southern Ocean to the south.

A level 4 monster civilization exists in the Southern Ocean.

Although the Southern Liuzhou is a very large and vast region, even a level 4 monster civilization cannot unite to form a chain of monster islands around the continent.

But they will send nuclear submarines to begin strategic patrols along the seas of the entire continent.

Once a human-made city is discovered along the coastline, the nuclear submarine will immediately surface and strike.

Over the years, many human-made mobile cities have been destroyed.

"Do you understand?" Albert said earnestly. "The reason your mobile city wasn't destroyed is simply because the monsters' nuclear submarines just happened not to have detected you."

"Thank you for reminding me." Li Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He was somewhat surprised that a level 4 mobile city could have a nuclear submarine.

As killers on the high seas, nuclear submarines are equipped with heavy torpedoes, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and may even be armed with nuclear warheads.

Nuclear submarines are powered by nuclear energy, which can support them to remain submerged for months or even be deployed globally.

Nuclear submarines can lie in wait in the deep sea, making them difficult to track.

The combat power of a nuclear submarine is self-evident; it can destroy dozens of low-level cities single-handedly.

The Tomorrow Alliance currently has absolutely no means to counter nuclear submarines, let alone intercept the missiles and torpedoes they launch.

However, this suggests that a level 4 mobile city would be able to build nuclear power plants and nuclear missile silos, thus possessing nuclear weapons.

A level 4 city battle is probably equivalent to a nuclear war.

Seeing the sweat on his forehead, Albert couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Are you wondering if the monsters' nuclear submarines are equipped with nuclear warheads? Oh, of course they are."

"."

"So, a level 4 city battle in the wasteland must be a nuclear war?" Li Ye asked.

Albert pondered for a moment, then gently shook his head.

"Battles between two Tier 4 cities, or battles between an alliance of two Tier 4 cities, have been subject to calls from both sides' world-class organizations prohibiting the use of nuclear weapons."

"In regional or even continental wars, both the human and the monster sides will strictly limit the use of nuclear weapons."

"That's it."

Li Ye nodded in agreement.

He could understand the need to limit nuclear weapons in a continental war, since if both sides loosened nuclear restrictions, the continent would be destroyed within days.

It is even possible that launching too many nuclear missiles could lead to a nuclear winter.

Therefore, it is indeed necessary to control nuclear weapons.

Albert simply smiled and shook his head.

"The higher the level of the mobile city, the higher the intensity of the war will be, which is a natural thing."

"Level 4 mobile cities possess a wide variety of warfare capabilities, while the threat of nuclear weapons is relatively minor."

"Think about it carefully. There are many ways to defend against nuclear weapons, such as a level 4 energy shield, a level 4 missile misdirection system, and a level 4 decoy. I'm only talking about one of them."

The old man earnestly told Li Ye the truth about a high-level city.

That is.
"Hide yourself, find the enemy."

High-level cities in the wasteland are more like dark forests.

Once your whereabouts are exposed, you are very likely to attract attacks from predatory cities of the same level, predatory city alliances, or even monster civilizations.

You will then face an overwhelming air force, a massive tank force, and a naval fleet.

A large number of incoming missiles, including missiles equipped with nuclear warheads.

And countless long-range weapon strikes.

Similarly, high-level mobile cities employ a variety of methods to conceal themselves.

Some dive into the deep sea, some burrow underground, and some sail at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

In addition, urban camouflage and regional signal jamming techniques enabled them to migrate safely across the wasteland.

Bishop Albert's words enlightened Li Ye.

He now has a clear understanding of high-level mobile cities.

“Based on your point of view, by the same logic, the flagship mobile cities of both human and monster world-class organizations should be in a highly concealed state under normal circumstances,” he guessed.

As a flagship mobile city of a world-class organization, it must be at least at level 6, or even level 7, of the "Mobile Continent" level.

Mobile cities of this scale are already unimaginably large.

It carries a population of tens of millions and is equipped with land, sea and air combat forces capable of destroying an entire continent.

The city has a complete range of buildings and a well-organized system, just like a human society.

Their area is like that of a small continent.

Land is no longer suitable for these mobile cities; only the skies and oceans can accommodate their migration. Perhaps even the vast expanse of space, or some alien planet.

After pondering for a moment, Li Ye gently shook his head.

"My thinking was too one-sided. With each upgrade of the mobile city level, the advancement of the technology tree increases dramatically. You can see this from level 1 to level 2, and from level 2 to level 3."

"Mobile cities at level 6 and above should have features such as miniature universes and city shrinking."

Bishop Albert smiled and nodded at the idea of ​​leaving the wilderness.

"clever."

"Then, Bishop Albert, what is the highest level of mobile cities for the three world-class organizations on the human side?" Li Ye asked excitedly. "How many are there in total?"

“Since you’ve managed to develop your mobile city to level 3 and form a city alliance, I think you must be a smart person,” Albert replied leisurely. “So you should also understand that I’m not going to reveal any information to you.”

Li Ye nodded in disappointment.

He was actually very interested in knowing the size of the mobile cities of the Cult of Apocalypse, the Throne of Titans, and the Iron Brotherhood.

However, there's no need to be too disappointed; future information may contain similar content.

As they walked and talked, Albert casually inquired about Li Ye's situation in Tomorrow's League.

After careful consideration, Li Ye informed the other party.

His main goal was to recruit a group of survivors from the city to join the Tomorrow, in order to make up for the manpower shortage.

Informing them of the size of Tomorrow's Alliance might reassure them or even get them to agree.

"So what means did the Church of Apocalypse use to evacuate these two or three million people?" he asked.

After hearing Albert's account of the Apocalypse Church's plan, he couldn't help but chuckle.

This method is actually quite old-fashioned.

That is to call upon the Apocalypse Cult's level 3 underground mobile city in Southern Liuzhou, load it with a large number of survivors, and then evacuate underground.

In extreme cases, a Level 3 excavation-type mobile city can accommodate 3 to 4 people.

The two to three million survivors in the junkyard can be transported away with just a hundred or so level 3 excavation-type cities.

However, the problem is that the Apocalypse Cult has very few forces deployed in Southern Liuzhou, and simply cannot mobilize so many Level 3 excavation-type cities.

Even if you call upon the Titan Throne and the Iron Brotherhood, it's the same.

Fortunately, level 3 excavation-type cities have powerful underground excavation capabilities, which can temporarily excavate multiple underground spaces to temporarily house the survivors from the junkyard.

With some temporary urban construction and repairs, this underground space can serve as a temporary underground city.

During the period when the giants were expanding outwards, people had no choice but to make do.

Incidentally, the internal environment of dug-out cities is often very poor.

Therefore, people prefer to stay in the underground spaces that are dug out of the city rather than in the city itself.

Right now, one after another, excavated mobile cities are emerging from the ground. Under the arrangement of the discipline deacons, the residents of the towers packed their belongings and lined up in long queues to land in the cities.

"Isn't a sky city better than an underground city? It can accommodate more people and the living conditions are very comfortable," Li Ye asked in confusion.

Albert shook his head.

He told Li Ye that most areas of Nanliuzhou were controlled by the monster civilization, and the human side had no air superiority at all.

There are no human-made aerial cities in the skies above this continent.

As soon as a human-made mobile city appears, the monsters' flying units and land-based anti-aircraft units will come looking for you.

Soon after, Li Ye made a request to recruit residents of the city.

Albert readily agreed, even more so than if he could have done so.

"Just say so! I'll give you as many people as you need!"

Li Ye, on the other hand, appeared quite cautious.

Judging from the situation inside the city, it is a mixed bag, with numerous gangs of all sizes and the residents are not benevolent people.

Unauthorized large-scale recruitment will lead to chaos within Tomorrow.

Upon learning of his concerns, Albert immediately waved his hand.

"What kind of difficulty is this?"

He told Li Ye that each of the apartment complexes had a high-standard apartment building, and the residents of these buildings were all survivors of good character and high moral standards. Some were even professionals.

The Apocalypse Cult conducts rigorous assessments within the city every year to select the most qualified survivors.

The purpose of this was to allow human-made cities to recruit these survivors as city residents when they passed through the junkyard.

"I see?" Li Ye nodded repeatedly. "Thank you so much, you're so kind."

“I have over 30,000 survivors here who are of relatively good quality. Can you take them all in at once?” Albert asked.

Li Ye shook his head, looking troubled.

Although he was tempted, the Alliance of Tomorrow would not be able to spare more than 30,000 men.

He did a quick calculation.

Tomorrow needs to recruit more than 3000 people this time in order to reach a scale of 5000 people.

If the Iron Whale, the Peacemaker, and the Engineer can recruit a total of 1000 people, that would be considered pretty good.

Having made up his mind, he immediately spoke.

"We need about 4000 people, any more than that and I can't handle it."

Albert's face immediately showed a troubled expression.

As a high-ranking bishop of the Church of Apocalypse, this man in his sixties has always been very concerned about his fellow countrymen.

Especially these 30,000-plus law-abiding and well-mannered residents.

In the wasteland, this is a rare treasure.

“As the lord of a mobile, assault-type city, you naturally understand the importance of population,” he tentatively began. “This is such a great opportunity right in front of you; you might not get another chance if you miss it.”

Li Ye slowly shook his head.

Albert clearly didn't want to give up such an opportunity.

After careful consideration, he made a decision.

"If Apocalypse taught you how to build a Level 1 mobile city, would you be willing to recruit an additional 5000 people?"

Li Ye was stunned when he heard this.

Give him a level 1 mobile city as payment?
For the Tomorrow Alliance, a Tier 1 mobile city is extremely valuable.

If this city were equipped with level 3 artillery, level 3 heavy machine guns, level 3 power engines, and level 3 city armor.
Tomorrow Alliance would essentially have an additional Tier 3 assault-type mobile city—although Tomorrow Alliance doesn't currently have these projects.

After all, in city battles, having only one assault city like Tomorrow is far from enough.

Li Ye's eyes gradually brightened.

This time, he was truly tempted.

Moreover, hiring an additional 5000 people is not necessarily a bad thing.

If it can be fully digested, it will become a great help to Tomorrow.

However, he also had great worries.

With these 5000 people added, Tomorrow's Ship has recruited more than 8000 people into the city at once, which poses a huge challenge to internal management.

Albert seemed very experienced.

After carefully inquiring about the production projects currently owned by Tomorrow, he spoke calmly.

"What if I gave you a Tier 3 fighter jet design blueprint and a Tier 3 destroyer design blueprint?"

"."

Li Ye couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It must be said that the reward offered by this high-ranking bishop of the Apocalypse Church hit his weak spot precisely.
