Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 94 Daily Operations of a Level 2 Fortress
After receiving an invitation code from Liye Sharing, the Iron Whale joined the K1 City Communication Channel.

Looking at his two companions in the channel, Li Ye couldn't help but nod.

With defensive cities and engineer cities in hand, his Tomorrow Alliance is beginning to take shape.

He plans to recruit another fire support city, and then a few more assault cities.

The three mobile cities thus set off.

More than ten hours later, Li Ye saw the safe harbor that Fang Yong had mentioned.

That was a Level 2 fortress standing on the plain.

Its size is several times larger than Roland Fortress.

The walls of this Tier 2 fortress are not made of brick or stone, but are welded together from multiple layers of composite armor plates, each up to 2 meters thick, with rivets and heat dissipation pipes covering the surface.

Gear hinges are also installed at the joints of the city wall, allowing it to slowly adjust its posture when necessary.

The top of the city wall displays more than 30 level 1 cannons, 8 level 2 cannons, and is also equipped with heavy machine guns and automatic crossbows.

During this time, Li Ye also noticed that the walls of this level 2 fortress were badly damaged, covered with bloodstains, bullet holes, and traces of explosions.

"This level 2 fortress seems to be frequently attacked by zombies?" he couldn't help but wonder.

After a series of exchanges using ship horns, the fortress gates slowly opened, and the three mobile cities entered one after another.

As a Tier 2 fortress, its interior is much more spacious than Roland Fortress, almost equivalent to a small town.

Industrial zones, farmland areas, urban areas, market areas, and rest and rest areas
These areas were divided into sections within the fortress, bustling with activity and extremely prosperous.

Caravans, mobile cities, bounty hunters, fortress residents—countless people are coming and going on the streets at this moment.

Li Ye did a quick estimate and found that the population of this fortress was over ten thousand.

In the wasteland, this is already considered a rather astonishing number.

The fortress is surrounded by a mining area and a freshwater lake, which is a standard feature for a fortress to stand firm.

An administrator from the fortress drove up to guide the three mobile cities.

They were then guided to the anchorage and rest area in the southwest of the fortress.

This is a large, spacious open space, with a series of parking areas of varying sizes painted in white.

From bounty hunters' motorcycles to survivors' off-road vehicles, and then to Tier 1 and Tier 2 mobile cities.
At this moment, the parking area contains about a hundred vehicles and more than a dozen mobile cities.

The parking area is right next to the industrial zone, making it convenient for people to purchase vehicle parts, hire people to repair vehicles, and move the city.

The fortress's management told Li Ye that this level 2 fortress would charge outsiders a stay fee.

The parking fee for a level 1 motorcycle is 20 crystals per day.

The parking fee for a Level 1 off-road vehicle is 50 crystals per day.

The stay fee for a Level 1 mobile city is 300 crystals per day.

The stay fee for a Level 2 mobile city is 500 crystals per day.

As for lone wolves and casual players, it's free.

Li Ye didn't have much of an opinion on this.

A level 2 fortress provides a safe haven, and maintaining its walls, cannons, and heavy machine guns, as well as supporting its combat personnel, all require investment. Therefore, the costs associated with stationing convoys and mobile city junctions are relatively insignificant.

He also specifically inquired about the costs of opening a shop in the market from the management.

According to him, the monthly rent for a shop in the fortress is 4000 crystals. If calculated on a daily basis, it's 300 crystals per day.

In addition, the fortress will charge an extra 10% transaction tax.

“Understood, thank you.” Li Ye nodded. His attention was then drawn to the moving cities.

There are a total of 15 Tier 1 mobile cities and 7 Tier 2 mobile cities.

"I didn't expect there to be so many Level 1 mobile cities here," he muttered to himself.

But upon closer reflection, this is actually a common phenomenon.

After all, the number of city upgrade blueprints, city structure blueprints, and city crystals produced in a level 1 area is really limited, and it is too difficult to collect them all in a level 1 mobile city.

Only those with strong resources, like city alliances, have the potential to gather all of them.

Most people in Tier 1 cities will try to move to Tier 2 areas to make a living after reaching the full configuration of Tier 1.

Overall, the majority of those involved in the reselling business, like the Engineer, are simply resellers.

But this is a level 2 area after all, and the longer you stay, the more dangerous it becomes.

What surprised him most was that three Level 2 mobile cities had the exact same paint scheme and flag.

The holy white paint, the broken bronze cross on the banner, the open eye in the center, and the twelve asymmetrical light blades floating around it.
"Were these three Tier 2 cities originally part of the Apocalypse Cult?" Li Ye frowned slightly.

He had heard before that this sect that worshipped the gods of the wasteland was powerful, and this time he witnessed it with his own eyes.

According to Li Ye's plan, he intended to rest in the fortress for three days and make further plans when a new round of intelligence was released.

You can also trade within your territory, purchase supplies, and recruit people here.

Tomorrow will now begin its maintenance period.

This time, the repair and troubleshooting work no longer needs Lin Wu to lead the team; the Engineer can easily handle it.

Li Ye quickly went to the market and got a general idea of ​​the prices of level 2 resources.

Iron ore costs 38 crystals per unit, coal costs 42 crystals per unit, and fuel costs 50 crystals per unit.

Rare mineral vein ore is priced at 60-100 crystals per unit, while rare mineral vein crystal is priced at 7000-12000 crystals per piece.

"Too expensive!" He frowned. "I feel the price is a bit too high."

That being said, these tier 2 resources are a real and essential need for the development of tier 2 cities.

Since the city auction, Li Ye has spent all of his 40000 crystal coins. He hasn't saved much in the past few days, not even enough for three days' stay and shop opening expenses.

Just then, Lords Zhou Xing and Fang Yong stepped forward.

Li Ye realized what was happening instantly and slapped his forehead.

Now I'm no longer fighting alone, but in an alliance.

We need to consider things from the perspective of the alliance as a whole.

The three parties then briefly exchanged their respective needs.

To maintain its combat effectiveness in the wild, Tomorrow needs at least 1500 units of Tier 2 Iron Ore and 400 units of Tier 2 Lava Ore to craft the Crimson Ripper Machine Gun, Black Hawk Helicopter, and Tier 2 Lava Cannon.

铁鲸号需要1000单位2级煤炭。作为2级防御型城市，它的动力虽然强大，但消耗的城市能源也足够多。而1级煤炭和1级燃料已经无法满足它的需求。

There isn't much demand for the Engineer class at the moment. As a fully equipped Tier 1 city, it's stuck at the bottleneck of advancing to Tier 2.

Zhou Xing told the two that the Engineer had obtained the city promotion blueprints, and the resources they were currently missing were 1000 units of level 1 city alloy, city structure blueprints, and city crystals.

Li Ye nodded.

"Okay, we'll find a way to help you gather the resources needed to advance to level 2."
