Chapter 85 Eternal Night District

The boundless darkness.

This is how I feel right now.

By this time, Tomorrow had been traveling in the Eternal Night District for more than an hour. It was pitch black and quiet, which made people feel uneasy.

There was no light shining from above, only thick, leaden-gray clouds that seemed impossible to clear.

The mobile city, illuminated by searchlights, moved through this silence, like a lone boat on a deep sea.

Through the light of the searchlight, Li Ye could clearly see the scene ahead.

Twisted car wrecks, desolate town ruins, forests with withered trees, and rotting rivers.
As he looked at it, he couldn't help but shake his head.

He is currently unclear about the situation here.

There aren't actually many options for Tomorrow.

The wasteland will soon be destroyed, so there's no point in staying there for long. Its western part is a level 1 basin region, its southern part is a level 1 desert region, and its eastern part is unexplored—if that's also a level 1 region, there's not much point in going there.

This makes the Eternal Night District one of the few remaining options.

Thinking of this, Li Ye couldn't help but open the system panel.

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

[Number of intelligence reports: 5]

This intelligence update period lasts for two days, so its value should be considerable.

During this time, Li Ye naturally couldn't be idle; he had to find a way to collect some resources.

作为2级区域，像2级铁矿、2级硝石、2级煤炭、2级设计图纸之类的资源永夜区能广泛产出。

Li Ye's current biggest wish is to find more level 2 iron ore as soon as possible.

After all, Tomorrow has just been promoted to Level 2, and there are still a series of Level 2 projects that urgently need to be built in the production workshop.

Whether it's the Blood Ripper heavy machine gun, the Black Hawk helicopter, or the Iron Dome city armor, they all require a large amount of level 2 iron ore.

Furthermore, the Tomorrow's energy consumption has also increased. After all, its size is much larger than before, and maintaining the city's daily operations requires more urban energy.

Li Ye glanced at his watch; it was 8:43 a.m.

Normally, it should be a sunny time, but instead, it's pitch black.

This isn't just a scene from today; it's a common sight every day in the Eternal Night District.

Li Ye then arrived at the fields in the middle layer of the region, where the residents were diligently sowing a series of Level 1 crop seeds. These seeds would grow in the next week or two, enriching the tables on the Tomorrow.

To provide lighting for the crops, Li Ye specially built a batch of ordinary fluorescent lamps in the production workshop, which residents then installed in their greenhouses. These ordinary fluorescent lamps were actually spoils from the Tarot Card Alliance; Li Ye had picked them up casually, never expecting them to be so useful.

For a considerable period of time to come, fluorescent lights will be running in the greenhouse, which will increase Tomorrow's energy consumption.

Urban electricity consumption.

Li Ye couldn't help but think of such a thought.

Although it has been upgraded to a Tier 2 city, Tomorrow's current energy supply is far from sufficient to supply electricity for daily life.

The daily electricity available per person is 0.

There's nothing we can do about it. Currently, Tomorrow's energy consumption is prioritized for daily operation, greenhouse crop lighting, urban camouflage, and energy shields.

"When we advance to level 3 or higher, the city might have a surplus of energy," Li Ye thought to himself.

To facilitate a thorough investigation, he specially commissioned a searchlight to be built in the production workshop and installed it on top of the watchtower.

Lin Wu installed a rotating base under the searchlight, allowing it to rotate 360 ​​degrees.

At that moment, lookout Lin Xia was manipulating a searchlight, shining it back and forth across the distant road to scout the situation. "Ali, should we send out a convoy to explore the surrounding area?" Old Zhou approached and offered a suggestion. "Let's see if there are any mines or oil fields nearby, so we can start mining resources."

As the Tomorrow resumed its land-based operation, the speedboats in the fleet were retrieved one by one and placed in the lower-level ship area. Meanwhile, the Storm infantry fighting vehicles and the first and second convoys were able to be put back into service.

Now, the parking area and ship area of ​​Tomorrow have been expanded considerably, and can now accommodate forty or fifty off-road vehicles or speedboats.

Once it reaches a higher level and its internal space is further enhanced, it might be able to accommodate an entire fleet.

"You mean exploration abroad?"

After a moment's thought, Li Ye nodded.

"Okay, then."

"Report! Emergency situation three kilometers ahead!" Lin Xia's voice came from the watchtower. "A massive zombie horde is approaching! They appear to be a level 2 horde!"

"What?" Li Ye and Lao Zhou exchanged a glance, their expressions changing simultaneously.

Li Ye immediately rushed to the watchtower and took the binoculars from Lin Xia.

As Lin Xia shone his searchlight into the distance, he was able to see the scene several kilometers away.

Zombies! Countless zombies! Tens of thousands of them!
They swept towards Tomorrow like an endless sea of ​​decay.

In addition to the common level 1 zombies, many other zombies of various shapes and sizes were also seen in the wilderness.

A massive, colossal corpse, four or five meters tall, with skin hardened into keratinous armor.

A female zombie with a slender, bony body, a deformed and expanded chest cavity, and a throat that has been mutated to resemble a megaphone.

A zombie whose body is covered in festering sores and oozing pus, with putrid fluid constantly seeping out and corroding the ground.

The zombie's limbs have mutated into spider-like arthropods, allowing it to crawl as nimbly as a spider, and its mouth seems to be able to spray spider webs.

Without a doubt, they are all Level 2 zombies.

"Tyrant, Screaming Banshee, Corruptor, Webweaver. This time they're really coming on strong."

In the driver's seat, Lin Wu picked up the binoculars and muttered to himself.

"When the bounty hunters in Wilderness Town first mentioned these things, I wondered what kind of monsters they were. Turns out they were level 2 zombies."

Li Ye then waved his hand and gave the order.

"All combat personnel on deck, prepare!"

"Ning Wen, immediately prepare the lava cannons and frost cannons, and be ready to fire at any time!"

"Tang Fang, change direction and shake off the zombie horde at maximum speed!"

"Old Zhou, bring the Storm Fighting Vehicle out of the garage!"

The zombies had already spotted the Tomorrow in the distance and began charging at a frenzied pace.

As they turned and retreated, the Tomorrow's level 1 artillery opened fire in succession.

A massive explosion shot into the sky, instantly obliterating hundreds of zombies!
But this is hardly enough to stop the advance of the zombie horde, because there are just too many zombies!
Through the telescope, Li Ye noticed that the level 2 zombies did not suffer much damage when they were bombarded by artillery and even retained the ability to move.

He couldn't help but shook his head.

Level 1 artillery is virtually invincible in the wasteland, but its damage is reduced when facing level 2 monsters.

The zombies were extremely fast, and it wasn't long before the first batch of zombies caught up with Tomorrow.

The zombies at the very front were instantly engulfed by the tracks and tires, the cracking sound of bones breaking drowned out by the roar of the engine, their flesh crushed into mud by the wheels. But the zombies continued their relentless advance.

After all, they are bloodthirsty monsters devoid of emotion and reason.
