Ark, I became a mobile city, but the moon city

Lin Yi looked at Texas's record for a while, then stopped thinking about it and continued to tinker with his own stuff.

At the same time, he once again realized the importance of madness.

The amount of resources in the surrounding environment is limited.

Lin Yi's heart couldn't help but feel heavy. The current problem was like a vicious cycle.

The surrounding environment's resources, such as steel, are limited. However, once you reach a distance of six kilometers, you could be attacked by that unknown monster at any time.

In other words, the resources that Lin Yi can currently utilize are only within a range of six kilometers.

In this way, the number of questions that can be created is also limited... Even if a question is scrapped and even the remains become non-recyclable garbage, then in the short term, the upper limit of the questions that Lin Yi holds will be reduced by one.

Lin Yi let out a long breath, his heart filled with worry for a moment.

The scavenger's corpse didn't generate much madness anymore. Texas and Lin Yi spent an entire afternoon wandering around the city, struggling to collect 100 madness, barely enough to give Lin Yi three more draws.

An even greater sense of crisis weighed on Lin Yi's heart.

Lin Yi and Texas finished cleaning up after spending most of the afternoon. After Texas removed his personality, he followed Lin Yi back to the cabin in the middle.

"Here, look over there."

Then, Lin Yi leaned against the window with Texas beside him. He smiled and stretched out his hand, his finger pointing at a newly completed cabin not far away.

"You can stay there for now... The interior design might be a little lacking, but you'll have to work on it."

Lin Yi said calmly. Texas listened, looked at the cabin that Doubt had worked so hard to build, and then looked back at Lin Yi.

"Is there nothing else I can do for you?"

Looking at Lin Yi, who was obviously worried, Texas asked this question without thinking.

However, Lin Yi just shook his head silently.

Texas can't help much.

Lin Yi was quite sure of this.

Texas and Lin Yi looked at each other for a few minutes, and finally, they just sighed softly.

Lin Yi didn't seem to want to get too involved. So, let's just trust him for now.

"Then I'll go first, take care of yourself."

Texas said this casually, as if it were a joke between friends. But Lin Yi nodded seriously as a response.

This is your own business... There's no need to let others interfere too much.

After seeing Texas walk away, Lin Yi leaned against the window and let out a long breath.

Out of a sense of responsibility, Lin Yi instinctively wants to solve urban issues on his own as much as possible.

If you really have no other options, there's no need to seek help from others. If others can't help you either...

Then, alone, find a way out.

This was Lin Yi's thought. He had always done this. Otherwise, wouldn't it have been better to just send all the monsters in the city to Terra?

But he didn't do that. Call it the values of his past life, or just being a pushover, but in short, Lin Yi wasn't planning on asking Texas for help just yet.

"Huh... I've finally gotten to the point of questioning. Time to see what that monster is over there. I hope it can at least give me a glimmer of hope."

Lin Yi let out a long breath, his consciousness coming to the doubts he had sent out early in the morning. Then, looking at the scene before him, his pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly.

"Wait! This is..."

The being before him wasn't a blood demon, nor a scavenger, nor a whale, and certainly not an Abnormality...

Right now, what existed in front of Lin Yi were just bugs.

However, there are "bugs" all over the mountains.

Confused, Lin Yi stared blankly at the scene before him. A tiny robot, and in front of it stood a vast army of hungry insects. They devoured everything around them, like a swarm of insects...

Then, a giant insect noticed the problem and slowly crawled over. Lin Yi tried her best to escape, but there was no place to stay. These disgusting insects were everywhere...

Then, the huge insect came up and bit Lin Yi. In an instant, all the doubts collapsed.

When Lin Yi regained consciousness, his expression became heavy.

What fucking copy of the city is this?!

For a moment, Lin Yi felt a little desperate.

There is no doubt that the thing just now was Amber Dusk, [Food Chain]!

This was a different test from [Question], but it had already entered the twilight phase, while Question was merely the dawn... According to speculation in my previous life, midnight was the point at which the world might end, and twilight was only a step away from that final midnight...

As for the food chain, it symbolizes devouring, akin to a swarm of insects. It possesses immense destructive power, capable of devouring most anything within its reach. Furthermore, it possesses the ability to summon amber dawns, fresh food, and, in other words, those little bugs.

"No, the most deadly thing is not these..."

But then, Lin Yi suddenly shook his head, sat in front of the bed, murmured softly, and then suddenly raised his head.

He just suddenly remembered a detail.

Just now, the food chain seemed to be moving towards the cabin where Lin Yi was... its distance was more than 300 meters closer than yesterday.

In other words, in about twenty days at most, the food chain will reach the cabin where Lin Yi is!

There was no doubt that with Lin Yi's current strength, he was completely powerless against that monster. Once the food chain reached this point, Lin Yi would probably be dead.

"The pressure is really great... We have to find a way to eliminate this food chain within twenty days... or at least successfully delay it."

Lin Yi murmured softly. After a long moment of contemplation, he calmed down and looked towards the well beside him.

Gotta take a gamble...

"Come on, Shuijing, draw a card for me!"

This time, without hesitation, Lin Yi poured 390 Madness into it. Then, in an instant, Lin Yi once again became a pauper with only 10 Madness left.

However, when he saw the three things emerging from the well, a smile appeared on Lin Yi's face.

"YA☆DA☆ZE! We win!"

Chapter 11: 11 New Vest, Head of Company A, Pioneer

At this moment, Lin Yi cheered, with endless joy showing on his face.

In fact, judging from the rarity alone, the results of these three draws are not the best.

5 ordinary spindles and 2 cards of second-level rarity, no gold was produced at all.

However, from this card draw, Lin Yi saw... hope of life.

At least, it gave him a glimmer of hope that he could deal with the food chain. Even if there was no way to solve it once and for all, at least he had a chance to delay it.

For the current situation, delaying time is the best possible outcome... In many ways, time represents hope.

He first gathered the spindles and prepared to give them to Texas as a reward later. Lin Yi looked at the two second-level rarity items he had drawn and pondered how to use them.

He wanted to integrate and unify the existing resources at his disposal and do his utmost to fight against the food chain.

The good news is that there's only one food chain. If there were multiple of them like in Lobotomy, there would be no hope.

Just now, the two things Lin Yi obtained were not technologies, but two brand new props.

【Full body prosthesis·Basic version】.

[Identity grants permissions].

For Lin Yi, these two props are crucial.

The former is a full-body prosthesis capable of completely transforming the human body. This transformation allows for advantages such as increased physical strength and the ability to consume no food, requiring only recharge. It's similar to the Brotherhood of Steel's prosthesis in the ruined library. While subsequent upgrades are limited by the prosthesis's strength, for Lin Yi, it's a timely help.

Because this is a whole body that can be controlled by his consciousness. And because of the built-in complete vocal system, he can even use this prosthesis to communicate normally.

The effect of [Granting Permissions by Identity] is even simpler.

In this way, Lin Yi can create an "identity" that comes with all the necessary documentation to prove it. By granting this identity to any being, Lin Yi can give a person a special identity...

When these two appeared at the same time, Lin Yi thought of how to use them in almost an instant.

Let your consciousness control the prosthesis, then make it an independent individual and give it an identity!

With this identity, Lin Yi can communicate with the outside world in person!

"I have to take a gamble..."

Lin Yi slowly leaned back, lay on the bed, and thought silently.

What he lacks most now is resources.

So, now, the quickest way to acquire resources is to directly find a way to trade for ready-made resources from the outside world...

If the number of questions could be piled up to the same amount as [fresh food], then Lin Yi might have a chance to fight the food chain, and all it would require is resources.

At that moment, Lin Yi had already finalized the plan.

I used the two things I just got to create a new identity for myself, and then left the city with a bunch of questions in my mind and went to the nearest big city to trade for a batch of steel resources.

Lin Yi had a way to sell these things for a good price. So, the next important thing was how to sell these things.

First of all, your own identity is very important and you must not make a careless decision.

After a long pause, Lin Yi stood up and looked at the android before him. It was similar in shape to a human, but lacked facial features. Its body was entirely cast from steel, with only a pair of glowing eyes visible. After a moment's deliberation, Lin Yi fetched a wide-brimmed cowboy hat and a set of traveler's clothing, and dressed the android.

Then he said solemnly:

"From today on... you are a member of Company A, the highest-ranking company in this mobile city. You are one of Company A's top executives, a member of an organization called the Head."

"Your code name is, Pioneer."

The next moment, [Identity Granting Permissions] was activated. A flash of light appeared in Lin Yi's hand, and several documents appeared in front of him. A blank sheet of paper appeared out of thin air. Lin Yi only took a glance and knew that this was to let him design a logo for Company A.

Is it because when the concept of Company A first appeared and the identity was created, they were asked to complete this background?

Lin Yi exhaled lightly and casually sketched a scene of a city under the starry sky.

Thus, one document after another was created. Company A's employment documents, the head's identification letter, the pioneer's files... Each one was a forgery, but it was absolutely certain to withstand scrutiny. Only by visiting the city to inquire about it could the clues be discovered.

So, the person standing in front of Lin Yi became Lin Yi’s new alias, the Leader Pioneer.

This inspiration also came from the worldview of the city in my previous life. There, among the twenty-six World Wings, the one that ruled the world was Company A. And within that, the top leaders of Company A, also known as the heads, painstakingly maintained the city's existence...

Of course, this is also the main reason why the gutter city has become a cesspool.

After doing all this, Lin Yi immediately separated a part of his consciousness and completely attached it to the prosthesis in front of him. Suddenly, the eyes of the prosthesis in front of him lit up completely, flashing a soft orange-yellow light.

"I've adapted quite well and my battery is fully charged."

Then, an electronic synthesized voice sounded from the mouth of the "Pioneer". He stretched his arms and legs and walked around the room.

"Huh... This feeling of finally having a physical body is really nice."

The pioneer muttered to himself, walked out of the cabin, looked around, and then decisively walked towards the outskirts of the safe activity area.

The grip strength is about 200 kilograms, and the kicking force is about 350 kilograms. Lin Yi smacked his lips, thinking that this strength should be much stronger than the Brotherhood of Steel, but it is definitely far inferior to the Texas Thumb personality.

Compared with conventional full-body prostheses of the same level, the advantage probably lies in the built-in solar generator... If you run out of electricity in the wilderness, then you can charge half of the power by basking in the sun for a day.

The battery life has been greatly improved. On sunny days, it is enough to charge once every three days.

Strictly speaking, this is Lin Yi's first real body.

He controlled the pioneer all the way to the edge of the city. Looking back, behind Lin Yi, there were already ten questions. This was the amount Lin Yi wanted to bring to the trade.

We can definitely trade for enough resources...

There was a gleam in the pioneer's eyes, and such a firm stream of information flashed through his mind.

"As a mobile city, after all this time traveling, the city should be not far from Victoria..."

Looking at the wilderness below, the pioneer muttered to himself, then stepped off the pedal and came to the vast wilderness with a group of questions behind him.

He looked around. Everywhere was yellow sand and dust, blown by the wind, turning the sky a khaki color. Tumbleweeds could be vaguely seen on the ground. The pioneer lowered the brim of his cowboy hat.

This is the wilderness!

And the next goal is... to go to Victoria and get enough resources!
