Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 57 Sir, would you be interested in learning more about Dagon? (4.2K)

Upon seeing the market, Li Ye's eyes lit up instantly.

"We can start trading again!" he exclaimed excitedly.

Currently, he has almost no crystal coins on hand, so he can take this opportunity to earn some money and replenish some resources for Tomorrow.

When the Tomorrow approached, the people on the plains were instantly filled with panic and tension. Only after the Tomorrow sounded its horn, indicating its desire to communicate, did they gradually calm down.

When Li Ye arrived on the ground via the elevator platform, he took a quick look at the mobile cities.

There are a total of three mobile cities.

One of the mobile cities is particularly unique.
The entire mobile city was painted white, and a huge flag was erected on top.

The flag features a broken bronze cross with an open eye at its center, surrounded by twelve asymmetrical, radiating light blades.

"This is the mobile city of the Apocalypse Cult. This cult has a wide reach, almost all over the world."

Lin Wu explained to Li Ye.

Li Ye glanced at the upper area and saw a magnificent white cathedral standing there.

Several huge statues also stand in front of the church.

These statues are probably the wasteland deities of the Apocalyptic religion.

They come in all sorts of strange shapes; some have ferocious faces and sit alone on thrones, while others are bloated and covered with pustules and sores.

Just then, a voice came from behind him.

"Sir, would you be interested in learning more about Dagon?"

Li Ye turned his head and saw a guy in a white robe suddenly appear beside him.

According to him, his name is Jack and he is a missionary deacon of the Apocalypse Church.

"Dagon?" he asked in surprise.

"Yes."

The other person was smiling.

"He is the sleeping god, the lord of R'lyeh, and our Father and Savior in the Wasteland."

Following Jack's finger, Li Ye saw a statue of a wasteland god.

It was a humanoid monster with an octopus head and tentacles growing from its back. Its body was covered with slippery, gelatinous scales, and its skin was grayish-green, like a rotting deep-sea creature.

“Sorry, not interested.” He shook his head.

Looking around again, they discovered that there were quite a few missionaries wandering around nearby.

They were clearly all from that mobile city of the Apocalypse Church.

"This mobile city is called the Believer, and it is one of the mobile cities that our Apocalypse Church sends out to spread our faith."

“In fact, we send out many mobile cities every year to travel around the world and recruit believers to spread the faith.”

"Our power is so great that even those cities that prey on us dare not provoke us easily."

Jack spoke eloquently.

After saying that, he showed Li Ye the thick book in his arms.

The book is titled "The Gospel of Revelation". It has a cold-rolled steel cover that is more than ten centimeters thick, and the cover is inlaid with seven exquisite brass gears arranged in a cross shape.

The spine is made up of interlocking piston rods, which emit a regular "hissing" exhaust sound when the pages are turned.

As Li Ye listened and watched, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

This sect looks quite impressive.

However, he wasn't interested in that at all; all he wanted to do now was go to the market to do business.

Jack then noticed the lord's bracelet on his arm.

"So you're a lord of a mobile city. Would you be interested in visiting the Believer?"

After pondering for a moment, Li Ye nodded slightly.

He didn't want to learn about these wasteland gods, but he was quite interested in a religious mobile city.

Led by Jack, he took the elevator to the deck of the Believer.

The landscape of this Apocalyptic mobile city is similar to that of the Tomorrow.

At this moment, the mechanical deacons and their apprentices were conducting a series of inspections and troubleshooting. Ordinary residents were either working in the fields or carrying out city cleaning and other tasks. Armed disciplinary deacons patrolled in formation, their steps precise and orderly.

Occasionally, a few children would run by, chasing and playing.

The only difference was that everyone was dressed in white.

According to Jack, the Believer had a total of 159 people, including 69 cult members and 90 ordinary residents.

Just as Li Ye was about to say something, he suddenly heard a roaring sound from above.

He looked up and saw that the noise was coming from the huge bronze steam clock on the upper church spire.

The clicking sound of gears meshing in this precision mechanical creation echoed between the steel and glass structures.

The exhaust valves on the deck instantly sprayed out black smoke mixed with incense smoke. Deacons, holding mechanical incense burners, walked slowly along the pipes engraved with the Gospel of the Apocalypse, the incense weaving a pious fog behind them.

When Li Ye turned around, he found that everyone on the deck had stopped what they were doing and were devoutly making the sign of the cross on their chests.

Even Jack, who brought him, was no exception.

“This is our usual prayer time, please follow me,” he said with a smile.

Led by Jack, Li Ye arrived at the core area of ​​the middle level of the Believer.

There was a square there.

Its ground is made up of hundreds of white-painted steel plates, each engraved with prayers and blessings.

In the very center of the square stood a massive steam altar, where a high-ranking deacon was reciting scriptures.

People knelt on cushions with bronze cross patterns, closed their eyes, and began to chant in unison.
"To our revered, immortal gods."

"Your gaze shines like the stars."

"Your hands support the Kingdom of Heaven."

“Teach me my way, and let me walk in your will.”

"Strengthen my faith and be my strength in my weakness."

"Please cleanse my heart and eradicate all my unrighteousness."

"Forgive our rusted souls, soothe our corroded souls, may our faith burn as brightly as a furnace, may our will be as unyielding as steel!"

"Amen!"

After the prayer ended, everyone stood up and did not leave.

"What else do you want to do?" Li Ye asked, puzzled.

Jack remained silent, only smiling.

Just as Li Ye was about to ask further questions, he suddenly heard a cry.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a resident couple slowly walking towards him, carrying their newborn.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

In the apocalypse, newborns are like tiny flowers blooming before the tombstone of human civilization.

But his expression quickly changed.

The high-ranking deacon took the child from his parents and began to baptize him.

The child was placed in a small, airtight copper chamber and subjected to steam jets, leaving a permanent bronze cross mark on his forearm.

The crowd erupted in cheers, and the parents were moved to tears.

Li Ye's expression was extremely complicated.

Over the next few hours, he began to tour the mobile city, led by Jack.

Contrary to his expectations, the Believer had many special facilities.

The "Furnace of Repentance" is a dark, furnace-shaped chamber containing an "Iron of Truth." Those who have erred must crank the built-in handle to heat the furnace, branding their skin with divinely revealed doctrines to demonstrate their genuine repentance.

"Gear Cemetery" is a cemetery where gears serve as tombstones. Generally, mobile cities have limited space, and the dead are usually cremated in furnaces. However, the Apocalypse Cult believes that the dignity of the dead should not be offended, so they have built Gear Cemeteries in every mobile city they own.

Each tomb is very small, and the skull of each deceased person is placed inside, with their life story recorded on a gear-shaped tombstone.

His remains were cremated. The "Sanctuary Academy," a pristine white mechanical building located on the upper level, was used to train ordinary residents to join the church and select devout individuals to join the sect. The entire academy had a spiral staircase structure, divided into sanctuaries, enlightenment halls, and scripture halls, with each level representing a different stage of learning and symbolizing advancement and enlightenment.

Finally, Li Ye was led by Jack into the upper cathedral and introduced to the lord of the Believer.

That was also a clergyman, a low-ranking bishop in his sixties.

“Welcome, young lord.” He gently embraced Li Ye.

Li Ye thought for a moment, then asked a question.

"How can you be so sure that the wasteland god you worship has no ill intentions towards humanity and will truly save us?"

The bishop smiled.

“Our Holy See and Cardinals throughout history have planned everything out, and the Church of Apocalypse is steadily progressing according to their plan.”

When Li Ye pressed for further details, the bishop gently shook his head.

"Only by converting your mobile city to our sect can you learn more."

Li Ye quickly shook his head.

As he was leaving, he remembered something and turned back to ask.

Do you know what the situation is like in the Eternal Night District?

The bishop's expression turned serious.

"Do not go to the Eternal Night District!" he said in a deep voice. "The monster civilization there has grown to an unimaginable level; humans simply cannot survive there!"

Li Ye's expression changed slightly.

Is the situation in that area really that bad?

The other party nodded solemnly.

After watching the bishop leave, his expression turned somber, and he slowly pulled a document from his robes.

That was clearly a notice issued by the Cardinals just yesterday.

The content above is clearly stated.
"Within one month, evacuate as many human forces as possible from the areas surrounding the Eternal Night Zone and make them seek refuge."

"This monster civilization is about to expand."

After leaving the Believer, Rino arrived at the market.

Like Roland Fortress, the market also has a notice board.

[This Week's Commodity Prices]

Wood: 0.5 crystals/unit

Iron ore: 3 crystals/unit

Coal: 4 Crystals/Unit

[Fuel: 6 Crystals/Unit]

[Rare mineral vein: 15-35 crystals/unit]

Rare mineral vein crystals: 2000-3000 crystals/piece

"It's actually much cheaper than Roland Fortress!" Li Ye exclaimed in surprise.

He couldn't help but look towards the forest not far away, lost in thought.

This is probably because this forest is rich in resources.

However, compared to common resources such as iron ore, timber, and coal, the prices of rare ores and mineral crystals are more stable, probably because the drop rate in forests remains low.

Falcon assault rifle.

Gale rocket launcher.

Level 1 off-road vehicle.

Blue heart potato seeds.

Morning Light Wheat Seeds.

Instant cup noodles.

Whole wheat biscuits.

Smoke shells.

Cola and iced tea.

Li Ye picked a spot in the market, took a sign, and wrote down the main business of Tomorrow.

While running the shop, Li Ye didn't let the residents on the deck be idle.

He divided the remaining crew of Tomorrow into two groups: one group was responsible for repairing the city and vehicles and taking care of the wounded, while the other group took axes to the edge of the forest to cut down trees and collect timber.

After all, upgrading a city requires a full 2000 units of wood, and Tomorrow also needs it to make furniture.

Here, timber is practically the least valuable resource.

Soon, the shop was packed with people.

Li Ye wasn't surprised by this, since he had chosen some very competitive products.

Among them, the most popular items are the Falcon assault rifle, the Gatling rocket launcher, smoke grenades, and cola.

As evening approached, Li Ye contentedly tallied his harvest.

10389 crystal coins, 2315 units of iron ore.

Because the forest produces a lot of iron ore, survivors often prefer to use iron ore to settle accounts.

Li Ye naturally welcomes all comers. After all, iron ore is such a useful resource; there's never enough of it.

Now that we've made some money, the next step is to purchase supplies.

After leaving his companions to watch over the shops, Li Ye went to explore the market.

Soon, he spotted several good items.

Level 1 heavy machine gun blueprints, priced at 3500 crystals.

168 units of Frost Ore, 1 unit costs 27 Crystals.

Level 1 crop - Emerald Green Vegetable Seed, priced at 1100 Crystals.

Design blueprint for Sachima (a type of Chinese pastry), priced at 500 crystal coins.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Ye took it down.

When purchasing frost ore, he negotiated with the seller and eventually reduced the price to 25 crystals per unit.

At this moment, the residents of Tomorrow, whom he had sent out to cut down trees and collect timber, also finished their work.

After a busy day, they collected 1720 units of timber.

During this time, Li Ye also had Tang Fang take the Tomorrow to the freshwater lake to replenish it with freshwater.

This freshwater lake is considered a public resource, and with its bottom connected to an underground river that provides a continuous supply of water, it is practically inexhaustible, so anyone can use it at will.

Everyone divided up a plot of land and cut down trees to collect timber to build houses and cultivate fields.

According to Li Ye's plan, he is not in a hurry to reunite with the Moon Shadow and the others. Instead, he plans to rest here for another two or three days to earn more money to purchase supplies.

However, when he accidentally opened the system panel, he found that the epic intelligence report had already been updated.

He was stunned when he saw the contents.
