Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 70 Floating Town on a Tranquil Lake

On the deck, everyone on the Tomorrow was busy performing their duties.

After all, this was their first time sailing on the water, and everyone was both excited and expectant, but also a little nervous and uneasy.

After finishing their work, many ordinary residents would come to the deck, hold onto the railing, and look around at the scenery.

Li Ye arrived at the watchtower. Lin Xia was off duty today, so another girl was on guard duty.

He nodded in greeting to the other person, then picked up his binoculars.

There are far more islands surrounding the tranquil lake than he had imagined; he has already seen several.

Ripples of varying sizes occasionally appeared on the water in the distance, as if something was moving about.

The lake was not as peaceful as one might imagine; monsters occasionally appeared.

Some were wild boar-men gathered in groups by the lake, others were goblin squads patrolling in small boats, and still others were fish-men wandering and lingering in the water.

Li Ye put down his binoculars and scanned the newly installed waterborne city accessories on the Tomorrow Ship one by one, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

These standard-level city accessories can only meet the Tomorrow's water navigation needs at best, without any additional effects, making them somewhat weak.

目前，明日号的水上航行速度为12-15节之间，等同于22-27公里每小时。若是加速的话速度能达到35-40公里。与陆地上相比算是差远了。

To improve the Tomorrow's water navigation performance, one would naturally need to collect a series of Tier 1 design blueprints or add Tier 1 city accessories.

Li Ye then stroked his chin and began to assess the Tomorrow's naval combat capabilities.

After entering Tranquil Lake, the convoy and Storm armored vehicles were rendered ineffective and could only lie obediently in the parking lot. Although the Storm armored vehicles are amphibious, they cannot fire underwater.

The weapons available to the Tomorrow are deck-mounted cannons and heavy machine guns, as well as rockets. Overall, it still has the ability to defend itself.

Li Ye even wanted to install a torpedo system to give the Tomorrow an extra weapon.

According to Li Ye's idea, even when sailing on water, the Tomorrow should still have a mobile squad like the convoy.

In this way, it can serve as a forward barrier during combat, or it can break through to the vicinity of enemy mobile cities and use rockets to destroy their propellers and hulls, rendering them immobile.

On land, mobile squads are convoys; on water, they are naturally fleets of boats.

Get a few motorboats, equip them with Gatling rocket launchers and Falcon assault rifles, and you can achieve the same effect as a convoy.

If conditions are good, we can also get some speedboats and equip them with heavy machine guns.

Once Tomorrow's level increases, it will unlock higher-level production projects, and might even be able to manufacture submarines, frigates, littoral combat ships, amphibious assault ships, and battleships. In that case, it will become an aircraft carrier.

Leaving the wilderness, my thoughts began to wander.

However, such a vision is still a long way off.

Looking around at the nearby waters again, he couldn't help but seem lost in thought.

"There can't possibly be only one mobile city, the Tomorrow, in this tranquil lake, right?"

If that's the case, Tomorrow Ship will be able to enjoy abundant resources.

In fact, Li Ye was very curious about the ecology of the tranquil lake.

This area occupies 20% of the wasteland, so it must be rich in resources, and many mobile cities will definitely move here.

Correspondingly, the variety and number of monsters appearing here are certainly very large, and there may even be monsters preying on cities.

The creatures that appear at Tranquil Lake are mainly mobile cities.

He thought for a moment and then opened the system panel.

At this very moment, the system has just finished booting up.

Cooling is complete.

[4 days, 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 15 seconds until the next intelligence update]

[Number of Intelligence: 6] "This refresh will take 5 days, and the quality of the intelligence won't be too bad," he muttered to himself. "I'll just wander around the outskirts during this time and see if I can gather any resources."

Half an hour later, Li Ye unexpectedly discovered a survivor gathering point.

It was a town of survivors floating on the water.

The town is made of planks, iron plates and waterproof tarpaulins, and has nearly a hundred shacks of all sizes.

The sheds were connected by wooden planks to form walkways.

Small boats or motorboats are moored next to the houses, and some even have speedboats.

"It's truly amazing," Li Ye couldn't help but exclaim.

Even on water, people can still find ways to survive.

During his visit, he also noticed the town's weaponry, including heavy machine guns and large ballistae.

Dealing with ordinary monsters is manageable, but it's completely inadequate against a mobile city like Tomorrow.

He thought for a moment, then had Tang Fang sound two long and one short whistle to show that he wanted to communicate and had no ill intentions.

This town of survivors is not large and probably doesn't offer many resources. Li Ye's main purpose here is to gather intelligence and find out as much as possible about the situation around Tranquil Lake.

The town's residents were initially alarmed when they saw a mobile city approaching, but gradually calmed down after hearing its flute.

A few minutes later, the town mayor arrived near the Tomorrow in a motorboat and took the elevator to the deck.

This was a man in his forties with dark skin; everyone in town called him Old Zhang.

According to Lao Zhang, there are actually many survivors on the tranquil lake.

This town floating on the water is called "Floating Town," and it is a common dwelling for survivors on the tranquil lake.

Compared to the land, the floating town rarely encounters monster attacks, let alone dangerous hordes of zombies. However, every now and then, some monsters will still come to attack the floating town in small boats.

In addition, there are many survivor fleets on the tranquil lake. They often consist of several speedboats, traveling between the islands to collect resources and make a living.

The tranquil lake has a vast number of islands, numbering in the hundreds or even thousands, and is rich in resources.

However, correspondingly, monsters often inhabit the islands.

Just as Li Ye had predicted, the floating town had very few resources to sell, which was insufficient to meet the Tomorrow's demand for supplies.

But he could still manage to procure one good thing—fish.

Li Ye purchased a batch of fish from this town and designated a section of the middle layer of the water specifically for fish farming.

Once the fish population grows, fish will be available on the Tomorrow's dining table.

Seeing that Tomorrow was exceptionally powerful, Old Zhang's eyes flickered, as if he had come up with an idea.

He then told Li Ye some news.

35 kilometers to the northwest, there is a small island occupied by minotaurs.

There are several hundred minotaurs there. They have set up camp on the island and occasionally send out small groups to attack the floating town.

Most importantly, the leader of the minotaurs is a wild boss, a giant minotaur that is thirty or forty meters tall.

Upon hearing this, Li Ye immediately became interested.

Unexpectedly, there was a wild BOSS nearby, and he naturally wanted the level 2 item dropped by the wild BOSS.

Given Tomorrow's current strength, it is already capable of attempting to solo wild bosses.

He then made up his mind.

"Let's go, let's go and take down that wild boss."
