Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 40 Unprecedented Gains

When Li Ye opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning.

He quickly got dressed and left the room.

After Lin Wu and his team worked through the night to repair the Tomorrow, the tracks and tires of the ship were finally fixed.

Last night, another batch of ordinary residents were transferred from the wilderness to become combat personnel.

A new batch of bullets and shells has also been replenished.

At Li Ye's command, the crowd quickly assembled.

He nodded, then waved his hand.

"Let's go, we're going to hunt the Scarlet Hound!"

When the Crimson Hound's lookout saw the Tomorrow come into view, he could hardly believe his eyes.

After taking another look and confirming that he hadn't misread it, he quickly shouted into the megaphone.

"Target mobile city detected, it's just three kilometers to the northwest!"

Two minutes later, the Scarlet Hound's convoy arrived on the ground one by one via the elevator platform and quickly set off.

The Scarlet Hound gradually accelerated.

"The target is 2000 meters away from us, 1900 meters away, 1800 meters away."

"From the watchtower," Lin Xia reported urgently.

Li Ye was standing beside her at that moment, looking at the Scarlet Hound in the distance through binoculars.

"It's about to enter the ambush zone. I think the Firefly people should be ready by now, right?" he said softly.

At this very moment, three hundred meters ahead of the Scarlet Hound.

The scarred man from Firefly Community, along with his companions, were currently lying in ambush in the buildings and alleyways on both sides of the street.

What they held in their hands were the Gale rocket launcher and Falcon assault rifle issued to them by the Tomorrow.

"Listen up, all of you," the scarred man said slowly. "When the target gets close, those with rocket launchers will bombard the tires and tracks, and those with assault rifles will shoot down the machine gunners and artillerymen."

“This is a golden opportunity for us to acquire a mobile city,” he spat on the ground and said viciously. “Nobody can afford to mess this up!”

The moment the Scarlet Hound stepped into the ambush, the scarred man and his companions peeked out from windows, doorways, and street corners of multiple buildings and pulled the triggers of their weapons.

In an instant, a barrage of firepower engulfed the Scarlet Hound.

Several combatants, machine gunners, and gunners on deck were shot dead before they could react.

Multiple explosions occurred on the tires and tracks of both sides of the Scarlet Hound, causing it to gradually slow down.

"This tactic is really effective!"

Li Ye was overjoyed at the sight.

Unlike the open wilderness, the strategy involves arming personnel familiar with the terrain within the ruins of a city to wage guerrilla warfare against the enemy's mobile city.

This tactic proved effective.

After the initial shock, the Scarlet Hound quickly reacted, sending out new combat personnel to take over the heavy machine guns and artillery, and firing wildly at the buildings on both sides.

The scarred man and his companions were prepared and quickly withdrew from their original positions after landing a successful attack.

The concrete and steel buildings provided them with cover, making them impervious to heavy machine gun bullets.

But artillery was different. Shells exploded one after another in the building, and several crew members were engulfed in the explosions because they couldn't evacuate in time.

Taking advantage of the Scarlet Hound being tied down, the Tomorrow's artillery opened fire on it in succession.

The enemy convoy was firmly pinned down by Convoy No. 2, and with the fire support from the surrounding Firefly members, it became even more difficult for them to break free.

From the very beginning, the battle was developing in a direction that was extremely unfavorable to the Scarlet Hound.

The Scarlet Hound tried to turn the tide but felt stuck in a quagmire. Meanwhile, the Tomorrow was firing wildly at it from afar.

On the other hand, nearby enemies, using buildings as cover, opened fire on it from all sides. The tires and tracks were severely damaged, and combat personnel on deck were being shot down one after another. These guerrilla survivors were far more troublesome than the Tomorrow.

With another rocket fired, the Scarlet Hound's tracks were completely damaged, and it came to a stop on the street.

Immediately following was a salvo from Tomorrow that hit it head-on.

Under the onslaught of fire from all sides, the enemies on the Scarlet Hound fell dead one after another, while the survivors retreated from the deck and fled back to their rooms to continue their desperate resistance.

The battle finally ended more than an hour later.

Under the attack of the Tomorrow and the Firefly Community, the lord of the Scarlet Hound and his trusted men and combatants were all shot dead.

In addition, there were twenty or thirty survivors on the Scarlet Hound.

They were all slaves, each one emaciated and haggard.

According to them, they were all people captured from other moving cities and towns by the Scarlet Hound. As slaves, they received very little fresh water and food each day, and had to work day and night.

The Wilderness and Firefly communities chose to spare the lives of these slaves.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ye eagerly took stock of his spoils from the Scarlet Hound.

15674 crystal coins.

2452 units of iron ore, 1623 units of coal, 782 units of fuel, 1052 units of wood, and 534 units of gunpowder.

Tier 1 Artillery - 2 Lava Cannons.

To his even greater surprise, he also discovered a Level 2 item design blueprint.

Black Hawk Helicopter - Design Blueprints

【Item Name: Black Hawk Helicopter】

Item Level: 2

[Additional effects: 1. Flight speed increased by 15% 2. Fuel consumption reduced by 20%]

[Crafting Requirements: 200 units of Iron Ore (Level 2), 50 units of Precision Flight Vehicle Parts (Level 2)]

"I never imagined that conquering a mobile city would yield so much," he exclaimed. "No wonder there are so many predatory cities; this loot is truly enviable!"

Immediately afterwards, he eagerly entered the production workshop of the Scarlet Hound.

As a predatory city, the Scarlet Hound has excellent Tier 1 and regular items.

After careful selection, he chose most of the projects from the Scarlet Hound's production workshop.

The most valuable of them is:
A level 1 city building water tower. Upgrading it consumes 300 iron ore and can store 6000 units of fresh water.

Level 1 Smoke Shell, crafted with 5 iron ore, creates a large amount of smoke in the target area.

Level 1 body armor, requires 20 units of cloth to manufacture, and can effectively protect against level 1 and lower bullets.

Tier 1 whole wheat biscuit, requires 0.5 units of flour to make, with the added effect of "providing an additional 10% nutrition".

Tier 1 City Accessory - Mining Robotic Arm, requires 300 iron ore to manufacture, and can greatly improve mining efficiency.

Tier 1 Artillery - Lava Cannon, requires 300 units of Lava Iron Ore and 1 Lava Crystal to craft, and boasts incredible power.

Many of the regular items also have nice things, such as iced tea, refrigerators, and electric fans.
The remaining projects were already available on Tomorrow, so he didn't take them but left them to the Firefly Community.

In addition, the Scarlet Hound originally had two lava cannons, one of which was destroyed in the battle, the other was intact, and there were still 5 lava shells left in the warehouse.

This was an unexpected bonus for Li Ye.

Furthermore, Tomorrow has already unlocked the Lava Cannon project, so it can be manufactured again as long as lava ore is found.

The remaining resources, such as crystal coins and iron ore, were to be divided equally between the two sides.
