Chapter 38 Survival is War
For a fleeting moment, Li Ye seemed to see the two shells clearly.

They swept toward the deck of Tomorrow with graceful parabolas.

Time seemed to slow down very slowly, and he seemed to hear Death whispering in his ear.

The next second, two shells exploded near the Tomorrow, instantly reducing the building where the shells landed to ashes, sending flames soaring into the sky, and a violent shockwave swept outwards.

One of the shells came very close to the left side of the Tomorrow, and the shockwave, carrying a large amount of building debris and flames, swept over the left side armor and tire tracks.

"so close."

Li Ye's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Judging from the power of this cannon, if it were hit head-on, the Tomorrow would be finished.

"Report! The tires and tracks of Tomorrow are severely damaged, and it is expected to stop and lose its mobility soon!" Tang Fang's voice came through the loudspeaker.

Meanwhile, Tomorrow's speed gradually decreased.

The battle between the convoys continues on the streets and alleys.

Using the power of the Gale rocket launcher, Team Two destroyed another off-road vehicle.

The enemy, with its numerical advantage, concentrated its firepower and destroyed one of the off-road vehicles in the first convoy.

Immediately afterwards, an enemy convoy headed straight for the Tomorrow, which was gradually slowing down.

What awaited them was the Tomorrow's heavy machine guns, as well as the Falcon assault rifles and Gale rocket launchers of the combat personnel on deck.

"Don't let them get close to the wheels and tracks!" Old Zhou roared as he pulled the trigger.

A dense barrage of fire was then unleashed upon the enemy convoy, and the lead SUV was riddled with holes and exploded in flames.

The remaining two cars turned and disappeared into a nearby street.

Old Zhou and his companions exchanged glances, a few drops of sweat dripping from their foreheads.

"broken."

Just as they had anticipated, half a minute later, two off-road vehicles sped out from the corner ahead, and their combatants were already leaning out of the windows, holding rocket launchers.

Under the barrage of fire from Lao Zhou and his men, one of the vehicles was quickly pierced by bullets and crashed into a shop on the side of a nearby street. The other vehicle kept twisting and turning to evade, getting closer and closer to the Tomorrow, while the combatant had his finger on the trigger.

At this critical moment, a series of gunshots rang out, and the driver of the SUV was immediately shot dead. The vehicle lost control and overturned on the street.

Old Zhou and the others snapped out of their shock and nodded repeatedly.

"Well done!" Old Zhou couldn't help but praise. "Which good lad fired that shot? Give him a big credit!"

When he turned his head, he found it was Li Ye.

Li Ye put away his gun and nodded slightly to them.

"Keep fighting, everyone," he said in a deep voice.

A few seconds later, the Scarlet Hound fired another salvo.

A devastating explosion engulfed the Tomorrow, which retaliated by firing several shells at its target.

On the street, the two convoys were engaged in fierce combat.

The battle between the two mobile cities has reached a fever pitch.

"The situation is very bad, Brother Li!" Tang Fang said urgently. "The speed is still decreasing! I estimate it won't last more than ten minutes!"

Before he could finish his report, the Scarlet Hound's two Tier 1 cannons fired simultaneously.

The moment the shell left the barrel, Tang Fang made a forced maneuver to evade it.

The Tomorrow Express made a sharp right turn, skimming past several buildings on its right and chipping away countless pieces of debris.

The next second, two violent explosions shot into the sky behind it.

"Well done, Tang Fang."

Li Ye silently recited a sentence in his heart.

Then, he looked in one direction and roared at the top of his lungs.

"Ning Wen!"

Seemingly in response to his shout, the Frost Cannon fired.

The shell exploded to the lower left of the Scarlet Hound, instantly freezing part of its tracks and tires. The Scarlet Hound, which was traveling at high speed, immediately lost its balance and crashed head-on into a nearby building.

Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the ordinary cannons on the Tomorrow opened fire one after another, and shells exploded one after another on the Scarlet Hound. Just then, the Scarlet Hound suddenly opened fire in all directions with its cannons.

In an instant, a plume of smoke billowed into the sky, engulfing the entire area where it was located.

"This is... a smoke bomb?" Li Ye's expression changed slightly.

"Lord, shall we continue the attack?" a combatant asked.

Li Ye pondered for a moment, then quickly shook his head.

He was eager to expand his gains, but the enemy's smoke screen made it difficult to hit them, and the Tomorrow's left tire and track were severely damaged, so it would soon lose its mobility.

He immediately gave the order.

"Retreat first!"

A few minutes later, the Scarlet Hound slowly emerged from the smoke.

But at this moment, Tomorrow has disappeared without a trace.

After arriving at a remote location, the Rino-Yuki stopped the Asahi.

At this moment, the left tire track of the Tomorrow is so badly damaged that it is difficult to even maintain the most basic movement.

In city battles, mobility is crucial for mobile cities; if a city cannot move, it becomes an easy target.

Overall, the losses in this battle were within an acceptable range for Liye.

Even he was somewhat surprised, because the Tomorrow was actually able to fight a predatory city like the Crimson Hound to a standstill.

Recalling the battle just now, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

The Crimson Hound's Tier 1 artillery was too powerful; a single hit would essentially destroy an ordinary Tier 1 city. Several times during the battle, the Tomorrow narrowly escaped being hit.

If they succeed, all the resources I've painstakingly accumulated, the talent I've gathered, and the future of Tomorrow will vanish into thin air.

This is the war between mobile cities.

Cruel, cold-blooded, and utterly irrational.

"Survival is war," he thought to himself. "Everyone needs to give it their all."

Li Ye briefly reviewed the losses from this incident.

52 artillery shells were used, and a total of more than 1200 rounds of heavy machine gun bullets and assault rifle bullets were used.

There weren't many casualties, but the destruction of the No. 1 convoy was heartbreaking.

After conducting an evaluation, mechanic Lin Wu gave his answer.

“I can fix it for you by tomorrow morning,” he said. “If you can give me more manpower, it will be even faster.”

“Okay, I’ll give you as many people as you want.” Li Ye nodded.

Moreover, the Scarlet Hound also suffered considerable losses.

With the advantage of Tier 1 off-road vehicles and Tier 1 rocket launchers, Tomorrow's convoy destroyed more than half of the enemy's vehicles.

The Scarlet Hound sustained damage in multiple locations, particularly after being hit by the Frostfire cannons, which severely damaged its tracks and tires. While it was paralyzed, two more volleys of shells struck its deck.

Presumably, the other side also suffered extremely heavy casualties.

"So what should we do next? Continue the attack on the Crimson Hound, or leave?"

In the lower furnace chamber, Old Zhou slowly filled a corpse into the furnace and said softly.

Space is limited in mobile cities, and the bodies of the dead are usually cremated in furnaces without graves.

At this moment, ordinary residents are cleaning the deck, Lin Wu is leading a team to urgently repair parts of the Tomorrow, and the logistics personnel are treating the wounded.

Li Ye stared at the sparks leaping in the furnace, saying nothing.

This battle consumed a large number of bullets and shells, and there were casualties among our comrades. If we choose to leave, all these sacrifices will be in vain.

The Scarlet Hound will recover and continue its hunting.

However, if the fight continues, although Tomorrow is currently capable of fighting, its condition is not good, and the outcome is hard to predict.

Just then, a sudden inspiration struck him.

"Have it!"
