The Fourth Calamity: People in High Martial Arts, Gods in Games

Chapter 135 The Mobile City: Emerald Sky

"Brother Qin, you're too kind."

"Brother Qin is willing to bring his people to show his support, and I certainly welcome that."

"Open the door! Let them in!"

Lin Qi saw Qin Mu approaching and, without saying a word, made a hand gesture, instructing the players stationed there to open the gate.

It's quite normal for caravans to stop at the bases or camps of various gangs in the wilderness for a night's rest. As long as the caravans are willing to pay for the lodging, the gangs are happy to oblige, since they can get some money for free.

Qin Mu brought the search and rescue team here on his own initiative because he wanted Qin Mu to make some money. Otherwise, with the name of the search and rescue team, no matter where they went, all the major wilderness gangs would welcome them with open arms. There was no need to come to the newly built Red Moon Mountain.

Meanwhile, the jungler hero standing next to Lin Qi also had his eyes shining as he looked at the rather large convoy in front of him.

"This is the first time I've heard the name 'search and rescue team.' What are these people doing here?"

"It's probably a new storyline; there might be some kind of quest that can be triggered."

"Should we say hello to them?"

"What are you thinking? Didn't you see that the Master hasn't said anything? If you mess around and cause a bad impression, you might not be able to get any more missions. You'd better just do your job as our gatekeeper."

The dozen or so players guarding the gate slowly opened it, taking in the sizable search and rescue team and whispering amongst themselves.

"Thank you very much, Brother Lin." Qin Mu turned to look at the search and rescue convoy, where a dignified man from the Feather Clan leading the team nodded in acknowledgment.

The dignified man from the Feather Clan said nothing, but respectfully spoke to the young Feather Clan member sitting beside him. With the young man's consent, twelve medium-sized transport vehicles drove into Crimson Moon Mountain.

The other quasi-martial arts masters from various races who got off the vehicle followed the vehicle up the mountain.

Qin Mu only breathed a deep sigh of relief after the convoy disappeared from sight.

"Brother Qin, what's going on? Weren't you supposed to be on a mission for the association? Why are you with the search and rescue team?" Lin Qi asked Qin Mu, unable to contain his curiosity. "Has some nearby city been wiped out by a monster horde?"

"It's a long story," Qin Mu sighed, then asked, "Do you have anything to eat? Let's eat and talk."

"Yes, our martial arts school has a nice restaurant on the mountain. Let's go there to talk." Lin Qi nodded with a smile and took the initiative to lead Qin Mu up the mountain.

As for the transport convoy of energy ore, it was all handed over to the players to transport it back.

While upgrading the primary training grounds is important, it pales in comparison to the work of the search and rescue team.

A monster horde attacking a city is no small matter. Once a nearby city is destroyed, the monster horde will definitely attack the nearby cities as well. The places it passes through will definitely be forbidden zones for all races.

If the monster horde comes to the City of Light, he'll be in big trouble.

On Red Moon Mountain, at the Tianwei Restaurant.

After Lin Qi ordered two servings of grilled meat and rice, he couldn't help but chat with Qin Mu about the search and rescue team.

"Brother Qin, what's the situation with this search and rescue team?" Lin Qi asked.

"Just as you guessed, a city was wiped out by a monster horde. We went there to find survivors and gather more information," Qin Mu said with a smile. "However, the city that was destroyed wasn't one of those nearby, but rather a small, mobile city called Azure Sky!"

"Mobile city? Mobile cities can be destroyed?" Lin Qi gasped in surprise.

In the world of high martial arts, there are many cities. Most of these cities are built on large energy veins, but a small number of them move around on land. They not only acquire a large amount of rare resources, but also trade with other cities. The resources they possess are far greater than those of fixed cities.

Because mobile cities possess more resources, their overall strength far surpasses that of fixed cities. In fact, many powerful individuals living in fixed cities choose to move to mobile cities.

Such mobile cities, besides being very strong themselves, are often able to avoid monster hordes in advance.

In the database of the City of Light, it is known that over the past hundred years, few mobile cities have been destroyed by monsters; more than 90% of the destructions have been caused by monster hordes.

"This news is indeed hard to believe. A mobile city could actually be destroyed." Qin Mu nodded and said slowly, "If such a monster tide were to rush towards the City of Light, it would probably be impossible for the City of Light and other surrounding fixed cities to withstand it. This is why we were sent to investigate."

"The mobile city Azure Sky, according to its original route, should have passed through several cities near us more than ten days ago, but for some reason, it has not appeared."

"Until yesterday, the reconnaissance aircraft discovered Azure Sky, but the mobile city of Azure Sky was in ruins, with many monster remains scattered everywhere. The city was just slowly advancing along a pre-set route, so the higher-ups guessed that Azure Sky was attacked by a monster horde, and it was very sudden, falling to the city with little resistance."

"The city's high-ranking officials are very worried. Originally, the Martial Arts Association intended to send high-ranking experts to investigate, but those city officials are very afraid of losing their lives and are worried that powerful monsters might be lying in wait in the Azure Sky. So they sent us, the peripheral members of the association, to scout ahead."

The latest novel is first published here!

"These city officials are really cautious." Lin Qi's expression relaxed slightly after hearing this, and he looked at Qin Mu with a smile, saying, "But this also gives you guys some opportunities, Brother Qin."

"Who says otherwise?" Qin Mu nodded with a smile. "Azure Sky was an extraordinary mobile city. Back then, many talented students from the City of Light wanted to apply to Azure Sky's martial arts university. Even those genius martial artists wanted to study in Azure Sky. Now that Azure Sky has been destroyed, we can't even dream of the resources of such a city. If we could get even a tiny bit of it, we aspiring martial artists would have a chance to break through to become martial artists."

"However, our search and rescue team is only the second group. The major gangs and families in the suburbs who knew about the news had already sent people to Azure Sky. As representatives of the Martial Arts Association, if we go there at this time, we will only be picking up scraps."

"So, Brother Lin, how about it? Do you want your Obsidian Martial Arts Academy to come with us?"

"Can we go to our Obsidian Martial Arts School?" Lin Qi asked in surprise.

A mobile city like Azure Sky is practically a piece of the pie for the surrounding major cities. It's hard to imagine that it would let anyone else get any benefits, especially a wild gang like Obsidian Martial Arts School. If they dare to make a move, they will definitely be crushed by the major powers.

"What's wrong with that?" Qin Mu said dismissively. "Do you think everyone in this search and rescue team is from the Martial Arts Association? The Martial Arts Association only sent one hundred of our peripheral members this time. The other two hundred people in the convoy are all experts from major gangs in the wild."

"Moreover, this is only the first batch of people from the major wilderness gangs. The major wilderness gangs have only recently received the news, and many are already organizing their forces. It's not just our City of Light; the major wilderness gangs in the surrounding cities are probably doing the same."

"The core area of ​​Azure Sky may be inaccessible to large out-of-the-world gangs, but the areas on the outskirts of the city are beyond the reach of gangs and families in the suburbs. Not to mention that the gangs and families in the suburbs also need these large out-of-the-world gangs to handle some matters, so they turn a blind eye."

"The reason I brought people here this time is to inform you of this news, so that you won't be as foolish as other gangs in the wilderness who know the news but don't dare to seek any benefits."

"The destruction of a mobile city is a rare occurrence, perhaps only a few times in a hundred years, let alone in our region. If we miss this opportunity, we may not have another chance in another hundred years."

"In short, do you want to come together?"
