Civilization Paradise

Chapter 12 Mobile Fortress
"A mobile fortress?"

Long Ming was also shocked by what he saw.

Although the technology of this mobile fortress doesn't seem very advanced on the surface, it gives people a very impressive feeling.

"Holy crap, that's awesome!"

"It's unbelievable that such a deformed product exists in this world."

Gu Yi and the others discussed excitedly.

Long Ming took a deep breath to calm his turbulent emotions and accelerated towards the moving fortress.

Gu Yi and the others were also very excited as they ran towards the mobile fortress.

At this point, the sand on the ground begins to decrease, and it is replaced by soil and gravel, and the ground begins to harden.

"Haha, it's the Gobi Desert!"

"We've reached the edge of the desert!"

Chen Wei and the others shouted excitedly after discovering it.

Long Ming was not surprised by the result, after all, it was indeed difficult to move such a huge mobile fortress in the desert, but he did not show any joy.

Seeing that Long Ming's expression did not change, Gu Yi asked in confusion.

"Brother, aren't you happy that we finally escaped the desert?"

"What's there to be happy about? The Gobi Desert and the desert are not much different, and our situation is not much better."

"Oh, what do we do now?"

"There's no one around here, what else can we do? We have to climb up and take a gamble, otherwise we're still doomed."

Long Ming stared intently at the approaching mobile fortress, his gaze hardening.

"Makes sense."

Gu Yi nodded emphatically upon hearing Long Ming's words.

Soon, Long Ming and the others ran to the front of the mobile fortress.

Rumble~
Before long, the huge mobile fortress moved sideways past them, and although it didn't move very fast, it still kicked up dust and sand.

Long Ming and the others then ran after the castle, observing this mobile fortress.

The moving castle has a large entrance at the front, but the entire entrance is closed, making it impossible to get in.

At this moment, a player shouted excitedly.

"Look, there's a boarding ladder on the side of the entrance to the mobile fortress."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked over and saw an iron ladder attached to the thick metal wall, with an extended platform on top of the ladder.

"Brothers, charge!"

"on!"

Players frantically sped forward, leaping up to grab the boarding ladder.

Some skilled players successfully grabbed the ladder and quickly climbed up.

However, many more players lost their grip on the ladder and fell heavily to the ground. Some were even run over by the conveyor belt, letting out a piercing scream.

Seeing this, Long Ming didn't rush forward blindly. Instead, he continued to observe the mobile fortress, looking for other access ladders. Normally, such a mobile fortress wouldn't have only one access ladder.

"Hey bro, why aren't you going up? Someone's already gone up."

Gu Yi was also very puzzled when he saw that Long Ming hadn't made any move for a long time.

"Yeah, if we don't act now, it'll be too late, and they'll beat us to it."

Chen Wei also offered a reminder.

Long Ming didn't respond to them, but patiently observed.

Seeing that Long Ming remained unmoved, Chen Wei spoke to Gu Yi.

"Gu Yi, why don't we go first?"

"Let's wait a little longer."

Gu Yi hesitated for a moment before replying.

"Ok."

Seeing that Gu Yi had said that, Chen Wei waited patiently.

Just then, the mobile fortress drove past them, and they immediately saw that there were also boarding ladders behind the mobile fortress, one on each side.

Gu Yi exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, there's another entrance ladder behind us!"

"I'll come first!"

Chen Wei then accelerated and jumped up, easily reaching out to grab the ladder thanks to his height advantage.

However, before he could even feel happy, the ladder broke instantly due to rust.

Chen Wei fell heavily, but fortunately they were behind him, so they were not run over by the tracks.

Gu Yi quickly reached out and helped Chen Wei up.

At this moment, Long Ming's gaze fell on the boarding ladder on the other side of the mobile fortress. He then accelerated and rushed over, leaping up to grab the boarding ladder.

"Master, wait for us!"

When Gu Yi and the other man saw Long Ming go up so decisively, they quickly called out to him, afraid of being left behind.

In fact, although Long Ming's health was very poor and he looked very weak, his parents had put him through various forms of exercise since he was a child in order to improve his health and live longer.

Therefore, his reflexes and skills are excellent.

After Long Ming went up, he climbed up the ladder without any hesitation.

"Wait for us!"

Seeing this, Gu Yi and his companion mustered all their strength and rushed forward, leaping one after the other to grab the ladder and successfully climb up.

At this moment, Long Ming had already followed the outer platform, crawled through an open iron gate, and entered a dimly lit corridor.

A pungent smell of rust, engine oil, and decay hit me.

Long Ming frowned immediately. The air inside made him feel very uncomfortable, but he suppressed his discomfort and carefully observed his surroundings.

The corridor is about three meters wide, with mottled rust on both sides of the walls and two iron pipes fixed to them, which should be for sewage discharge if there are no accidents.

In addition, there are old-fashioned lights installed on the top of the passageway. Some of them have been turned off, and the ones that are on have a yellowish tint and flicker from time to time.

At this moment, Gu Yi and Chen Wei, panting, chased after them through the iron gate.

"We finally caught up."

Long Ming turned his head and glanced at the two of them before walking inside.

Seeing Long Ming walk forward, Gu Yi and his companion hurriedly followed without taking a break.

"Hey bro, wanna team up?"

"Not interested in."

Long Ming refused without expression.

Long Ming has high expectations for his teammates. Gu Yi and the other person can only be considered slightly stronger than ordinary people. He doesn't want to have to take care of the two of them during the exploration.

Gu Yi and Chen Wei were not angry when Long Ming rejected them; instead, their gazes toward Long Ming became even more intense.

With such a cool and aloof personality, he's definitely a master.

At this moment, Long Ming reached the end, and a staircase leading upwards came into view. He listened quietly for a moment, and then carefully climbed up.

Gu Yi and Chen Wei followed closely behind.

When Long Ming climbed up the stairs, pushed open a sewer cover and climbed out, his view suddenly opened up, and he arrived at the upper street.

All that could be seen were rows of rusty metal buildings.

The exterior of the second floor of these houses is connected by an iron bridge. Some houses are also built on high ground and can be climbed up by stairs.

Wow, so many houses, but why is it so quiet?

"no one there?"

At this moment, Gu Yi and Chen Wei also climbed out, constantly turning their heads to observe their surroundings.

"I don't know."

Long Ming cautiously walked toward a nearby house that looked rather large.

Gu Yi and Chen Wei were about to follow when Long Ming stopped, turned to look at them, and said coldly.

"What are you following me for? There are so many houses here to search."

"Oh, yes, yes."

Gu Yi and Chen Wei exchanged a glance and awkwardly walked towards the house next door.
