Mobile City Travel Guide

When Li Xin woke up, it was already daylight.

The window was still open, and the scenery outside continued to flow.

Since successfully breaking out of the battlefield last night, the Starfire has continued its journey, only now the helmsman has been changed to the one they rescued earlier—this is the advantage of shift work, ensuring the mobile city can move around the clock.

[You have completed the Giant Slayer quest and received 3000 Evolution Points as a reward.]

The prompt was clearly displayed before my eyes.

Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief; this time he could evolve something again. Thinking of this, he immediately dressed and got out of bed without hesitation.

"What should we evolve this time?"

After thinking for a while, he went to a piece of equipment in the driver's cab.

【Item Name: City Radar】

[Description: An old mobile urban surveillance device with a severely rusted antenna, frequently experiencing signal interruptions and often malfunctioning at critical moments.]

[Evolvable Branches:]

[Bio-Radar: Displays the location of all organisms within its detection range] - 500 Evolution Points

[Gold Miner: Can additionally reveal all mineral veins and oil and gas resources within the detection range] - 1000 Evolution Points

【"The Eye of Darkness": 1. Transforms your city's radar into the eye of the Dark Lord of Middle-earth. It will always hover above the city and detect all magical creatures and magical fluctuations within its range. 2. The Eye of Darkness possesses self-awareness and can fire powerful magical rays to attack enemies. Note: Do not be seduced by its promised power.】 - 3000 Evolution Points

After reading the detailed description of the Magic Eye, Li Xin couldn't help but stroke his chin.

Yet another absurd branch of evolution.

He figured that if he had enough evolution points, he might even be able to evolve into a specific style, such as a magic style, a mechanical style, or a biological style.

He undoubtedly wanted to evolve into the Bio-Radar evolutionary branch, which would not only be useful for avoiding giants but also for future travels to other worlds. After hesitating for a while, he simply bought the Gold Miner evolutionary branch as well.

After the evolution is complete, the radar is completely revamped and now includes two new options: "Bio" and "Mineral Vein".

Immediately afterwards, Li Xin arrived at the power engine of the Starfire.

The core of this mobile city is located in the lower level of the city, occupying an entire cabin, and its appearance is quite similar to a steam locomotive.

【Item Name: Mobile City Power Engine】

[Description: An old mobile urban power unit with a rusty boiler, multiple leaks in the pipes, a constantly fluctuating pressure gauge needle, and unstable power output.]

[Evolvable Branches:]

[Extreme Overload: Grants your engine a new "Overload Mode," significantly boosting power for a short period and granting it unparalleled kinetic energy. Note: After the Overload ends, you will enter a weakened state, with engine performance drastically reduced.] - 600 Evolution Points

[Dwarven Craftsman Improves Engine: Improve your power engine with the meticulous craftsmanship of dwarven craftsmen, increasing its output power by 10%, fuel conversion efficiency by 20%, and overheating rate by 15%] - 800 Evolution Points

[Engine-Powered Mechanical Beast "Gluttonous Beast": This activates your engine into a mechanical creature. It cannot be fed conventional fuels such as coal or fuel oil; it only craves gold, silver, jewelry, antique coins, and valuable paintings and calligraphy. The higher the value, purity, and age of the items fed to it, the happier it becomes, and the more motivated it is to work.] - 2000 Evolution Points

In addition to purchasing "Dwarf Craftsman", Li Xin also purchased the "Extreme Overload" evolution branch, since it might be able to save their lives at a critical moment - in fact, given their situation of frequently traveling between worlds, the dangers they will encounter in the future will definitely only increase.

The evolved engine was brand new and shiny, and worked more powerfully. Li Xin then informed the two helmsmen.

Immediately afterwards, he turned his attention to an even more important task: settling the more than 200 people who had just entered his mobile city.

These two hundred or so people are not like two hundred pigs, who can be fed some food and water and that's it. They need shelter, clothing, and all sorts of necessities.

During the breakout, apart from those who participated in the battle on deck, everyone else was reassigned to safe internal compartments below deck, so the overall casualties during the breakout of the Xinghuo were not significant.

Looking at the people in front of him, he thought for a moment and then contacted Gao Nan of Tianyou K4 through the city radio station.

"The situation is as I described. We have gathered about 200 people, but supplies are extremely scarce. We hope you can airdrop some more supplies to us," he said.

Gao Nan was somewhat stunned.

"So many people were rescued...?" he said. "I understand your situation, but the supplies from Tianyou K4 have already been distributed to the seven mobile cities that accompanied it. Their situation is also very difficult. What we gave them is not even enough to go around."

Li Xin was slightly taken aback, then shook his head helplessly after regaining his senses.

"Okay, let's try to hold on by ourselves... By the way, send me our current coordinates. We've broken through, and we can come find you then."

Gao Nan fell silent upon hearing this, and after a long while, he spoke in a deep voice.

"It's best not to."

He told Li Xin that the Tianyou K4 and its accompanying mobile city were being watched. The enemy was an army of giants, clearly acting on orders from their superiors, and were relentlessly pursuing them.

Li Xin's expression became complicated. He naturally knew the fighting strength of the giant army, having just experienced it himself.

"Alright, I wish you a safe escape." He sighed.

"I hope you have a smooth journey ahead," Gao Nan said. "By the way, I just received two crucial messages from my superiors."

"Really?" Li Xin immediately became interested. "Tell me about it."

Gao Nan gave a brief explanation.

First, human civilization has made contact with the giant civilization, and the two sides are about to begin negotiations. Second, one faction within the giant civilization has successfully tested its first nuclear bomb.

After listening, Li Xin stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

If both sides can reach an agreement, they can achieve cooperation and communication, and then everyone will no longer need to hide.

As for the second piece of news, it made his lips twitch – if human civilization had stayed any longer, it might not only have been affected by the giants' world war, but it might even have faced nuclear bombs.

Just then, Gao Nan added another sentence.

"If you'd like, I can plan a sea route for you."

......

After ending the communication, Li Xin called Lu Chen and several companions to start working.

The first thing to do was arrange accommodations. The Starfire itself had limited space, and room had to be made for warehouses, fields, water towers, and various firearms, so the living space was very limited. The accommodations were similar to school dormitories, with several people sharing a room in bunk beds. As a lord, Li Xin was slightly better off, having his own room.

Lu Chen took the notebook and registered people's names, ages, and occupations in turn.

Despite the rudimentary conditions, the survivors cooperated fully with the arrangements, and no one complained. After all, they were already grateful to have survived.

Li Xin then patted his chest and assured them.

"This is only temporary; things will get better in the future."
