Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 18: A New Round of Intelligence Packed with Information

After a sharp roar, the Scarlet Hound began to accelerate and give chase.

With several sharp whistling sounds, several shells landed around the Tomorrow, triggering a fierce bombardment.

Most of the people on board the Tomorrow were awakened and quickly grabbed their weapons to assemble.

"Ah Li, should we prepare to fight back?" Old Zhou's voice came through the megaphone.

After thinking it over carefully, Li Ye quickly shook his head.

"No, we can't fight it. Have Tang Fang speed up, create distance, and then activate the city camouflage."

He was fully aware of the Scarlet Hound's capabilities.

The force consisted of 96 combat personnel, 4 convoys, 8 ordinary artillery pieces, 14 ordinary heavy machine guns, and more than 120 firearms of various types.

And there are also two Tier 1 cannons!
Besides, he had only recently witnessed the power of a level 1 cannon.

With a muffled whooshing sound, a shell exploded not far to the left of the Tomorrow.

Intense flames shot into the sky, and a powerful shockwave instantly engulfed the entire Tomorrow, even causing it to tremble slightly.

Li Ye's expression changed slightly.

This power is undoubtedly that of a level 1 artillery piece.

If the Tomorrow were hit head-on, the consequences would be unimaginable!

With Tang Fang's series of actions, Tomorrow began to gradually accelerate, while Scarlet Hound followed closely behind, and the two mobile cities began a chase across the wasteland.

During the mission, the Scarlet Hound fired several times, and its shells nearly hit the Tomorrow.

Li Ye suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Tang Fang, after you have memorized and planned the route ahead, turn off all the lighting equipment!"

A few seconds later, all the lights on the Tomorrow went out.

With a sharp turn, it disappeared under the searchlights of the Scarlet Hound.

A few minutes later, the Scarlet Hound completely lost track of the Tomorrow.

It kept scanning its surroundings with its searchlight, but still couldn't find any trace of the other party.

This predatory city was quite defiant, and even slowly stopped, unloaded four convoys, and accelerated to search in all directions.

It couldn't believe that this piece of fat meat had slipped away right under its nose.

About half an hour later, the convoy returned from all directions, bringing news that they had not found the missing person.

They intended to find Tomorrow by tracking tire tracks, but this was a border area where many mobile cities passed by daily, leaving behind numerous crisscrossing tire tracks.

The tire tracks of the Tomorrow were thus mixed in with the tracks, making them impossible to trace.

After recovering the convoy, the Scarlet Hound had no choice but to restart and slowly depart.

"Finally gone."

Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Tomorrow has become one with the landscape of the wasteland.

As a precaution, the city camouflage was removed half an hour after the Scarlet Hound left.

"Thanks to this level 2 item, otherwise Tomorrow would have been finished this time," he thought sincerely.

I have to say, this level 2 item is incredibly useful, whether for ambushing or escaping.

If I had to point out a drawback, it would be that it consumes far too much energy.

From its instant startup to its continuous operation for an hour, it had already consumed a full 11% of its energy, enough for the Tomorrow to travel for two days. "No wonder all the level 1 cities are so obsessed with the wilderness boss," he thought. "After all, everyone wants that level 2 item it drops!"

A new day is about to begin.

The people on board the Tomorrow began their daily work.

Lin Wu led the group to begin inspecting the Tomorrow from top to bottom.

Old Zhou patrolled with several companions.

At this moment, Li Ye was standing at the edge of the field.

Today, the blue-heart potatoes are ripe and ready for harvest.

Several residents are busy harvesting potatoes in the fields.

Li Ye picked one up and examined it. The Blue Heart Potato was about the same size as a regular potato, but its skin and inside were both light blue.

He casually took a bite and found it to be somewhat sweet.

This time, Tomorrow's Ship reaped a total of 1563 units of Blue Heart Potatoes.

After the harvest, Li Ye had everyone plant a new batch of Blueheart potatoes, and also planted the newly acquired Morning Light Wheat.

Morninglight wheat takes longer to mature than blue-heart potatoes, requiring about a month. But compared to ordinary crops, this is already quite fast.

Once the morning wheat matures, the Tomorrow Ship will be able to supply flour, which will then be used to make biscuits, bread, steamed buns, and noodles.
Overall, the Tomorrow's ship is capable of being self-sufficient in food.

But
Li Ye stroked his chin and gently shook his head.

The food supply for Tomorrow is still too scarce, consisting only of wheat and potatoes.

He plans to buy more level 1 crops to enrich his meals.

Furthermore, once conditions permit in the future, they will also grow fruit and raise fish.

Incidentally, Li Ye had communicated with the Conqueror and Azure, wanting to trade their respective level 1 crops.

However, upon asking, it was discovered that everyone's level 1 crop was Dawn Wheat, which was sold in Roland Fortress.

Generally speaking, the price of a common level 1 crop is between 500 and 1000 crystal coins.

The reason why Chenguang wheat is much more expensive is because it is a staple food, which can feed more people than vegetables and fruits.

Li Jin and Lei Jian both became interested in the Blue Heart Potatoes on the Tomorrow and wanted to make an offer to buy them.

After all, potatoes are high in starch and protein, making them a very filling food.

But the Tomorrow had just planted all the seeds, so Liye couldn't fulfill their request. So he promised to sell them a share of the seeds when they met again.

As evening approached, a new round of intelligence was released.

[1. 15 kilometers southwest, there is a survivor convoy that has temporarily stopped for rest. The convoy consists of 17 people and currently has sufficient supplies, but no level 1 blueprints, level 1 crops, or level 1 weapons. (Intelligence Value: Average)]

2. The western part of the wasteland is a level 1 area called "Large Basin," which requires a one-month journey to reach. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)

3. After several days of pursuit, the level 1 mobile city "Vanguard" successfully defeated the two level 1 mobile cities that were hunting it, and successfully absorbed their population, resources, and all projects in their production workshops. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)

4. Roland Fortress is currently fraught with internal conflicts. Given the imminent depletion of resources, the radical faction has decided to consolidate all available resources, abandon three-quarters of the fortress's population, and revert Roland Fortress back to a mobile city model. The conservative faction vehemently opposes this, asserting that a solution can be found. The Lord of Roland Fortress possesses extremely high prestige, enabling him to suppress the conflict between the two factions. However, his condition is severe, and he is now bedridden. (Intelligence Value: Rare)

[5. Tomorrow morning, a spore town will appear in the southeast of the Rotten Lands. This monster town is neutral; any survivor can go to the town and interact with its inhabitants to obtain its unique level 1 items. (Information Value: Rare)]

Li Ye quickly scanned through the intelligence report.

This intelligence report did not mention resources such as mines or forests, but unexpectedly, it contained a considerable amount of information.
