Everyone's on a time-travel adventure! I'm raising city beasts in a post-apocalyptic world

The adjutant hesitated for a moment, then reminded him, "General, although Jack's intelligence is accurate, it cannot assess the danger. Last time, our intelligence led us to run into the Great Xia people's sword-wielding team. Not only did we fail to obtain the treasure, but we also lost two mobile cities."

Lance's body tensed almost imperceptibly, and the muscles on his face twitched. He was ordered to drive the mobile city away from the Sacred Tree Forest to collect people and resources in the wilderness. However, a merchant named Jack was able to teleport to his side, which startled him. Later, Jack sold him a piece of intelligence, which gave him a rare artifact from the Armory that could produce weapons and ammunition, greatly increasing his strength and raising his status.

Having tasted success, he contacted the mysterious Jack again to purchase another piece of information.

The location indicated by the coordinates of the strange object in this intelligence report was exactly where they encountered a group of guys wielding large swords. Two mobile cities had already caught up with them. At that moment, Lance cursed Jack for lacking any sense of contractual obligation, as he had sold the same intelligence report to multiple companies simultaneously.

The two arrogant colleagues, seeing that it was just a group of guys with cold weapons, opened fire immediately, preparing to seize the strange item.

As a result, that group of people were simply monsters. Wielding large swords, they charged straight in, ignoring the hail of bullets, and ruthlessly chopped the other two steel cities into ruins. The soldiers inside the cities were cut down like wheat being harvested.

Seeing this terrifying scene from behind, Lance's mobile city immediately turned 180 degrees and ran away without thinking. Fortunately, the enemy did not chase after them; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The adjutant added, "General, those Xia people's big sword squads were in a hurry to catch the Japanese, which is why they let us go. If they catch up and find out it was just bait, and the real Japanese emperor has already detoured into the Sacred Tree Forest from another direction, won't they turn back and cause us trouble?"

Lance's heart sank. He shook his head violently to banish the images from his mind and slammed his fist on the control panel.

"Shit! There's a Chinese proverb, 'Fortune favors the bold.' I spent so much money to buy this information from that guy. If I give it up, all my previous investment will be wasted. The five rare items are in that valley ahead. If I miss them, I'll never have another chance."

He stared at the location marked on the screen, his eyes filled with greed: "Let's do it. I don't believe that guy impersonating the Japanese emperor can be that powerful. The Japanese made it very clear that he's just an ordinary person who got lucky and obtained a rare item. As soon as we show up, he might just hand over the treasure like he would a Yamato woman, take the item and leave without delaying our rendezvous."

"Pass on my orders: advance at full speed, prepare for battle, and I want to see that valley before sunset."

The adjutant opened his mouth, but seeing Lance's expression, he swallowed back what he wanted to say, turned around and left the command room.

Lin Feng opened his eyes, retreating from Jin Tong's field of vision, his expression grim.

Guo Yi, standing nearby, couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

Lin Feng's tone was somewhat heavy: "A mobile city has come into the jungle. There are quite a few people, and they mainly have guns and cannons. I don't know if we can stop them."

The power of modern weapons has deeply impressed people, leaving Lin Feng somewhat undecided.

Guo Yi's excitement vanished instantly, his good mood from creating the flying car disappeared in an instant, and his brows furrowed.

"A mobile city? One of those post-apocalyptic movies? With guns and cannons? How is that possible?"

He found it hard to accept. He was still playing with crossbows and cold weapons, while others were going straight to high technology. Wouldn't they have missiles, or the ultimate weapon—the mushroom bomb?

"It truly is a mobile city, even more imposing than those in the movies, with dozens of cannons and fully armed soldiers."

Lin Feng took a deep breath to calm himself down: "We've all transmigrated, so what's impossible? We all have Xiao Xuan, the Qi Gathering Inheritance, and the Professional System. It's also possible that others can obtain the wonder that can create mobile cities..."

"When I saw them clearing out the millipede swarm, the shells blasted down and they fell in droves. I wonder if professionals could withstand that..."

Guo Yi pulled out the key, turned around and walked out: "I'll go call Wang Lie and Daoist Lin. You go and inform the others. We'll have a meeting to discuss this."

Lin Feng nodded and walked towards the conference room, using the walkie-talkie to notify everyone to start the meeting as he went.

The crowd arrived faster than he had anticipated. Combat professionals such as Chen Min, Yangjin, Zhuoma, Wang Lie, and Daoist Lin arrived one after another, and even Luo Xiaoxiao and Mi Xue were there. After everyone had arrived, Lin Feng got straight to the point.

"The situation is urgent, so I won't go into details. A mobile city has arrived, equipped with modern weapons and artillery, and its target is our valley. Now, should we fight or retreat? Let's discuss this..."

The group began to exchange ideas.

When Wang Lie heard that it was a mobile city, his eyes lit up, and tiny arcs of electricity crackled and popped uncontrollably from the lightning patterns on his body.

"I'm currently level 5, and I just happen to need a vehicle. I can take my patrol team on a raid. Plus, I'm a lightning-type awakened being, so maybe I can counter that steel city and cripple its power system. After we capture it, we can recruit more people, hunt down more monsters, and level up quickly!"

His eyes were filled with excitement, as if he could already see the mobile city within his grasp.

Guo Yi poured cold water on the idea: "A patrol team? Your patrol team has less than a hundred people left. You're dreaming of raiding a steel city. What if the other side also has level 5 or even level 6 awakened beings? You'll be more likely to die if you rush in. If you get caught and used as a human generator, you won't even have time to cry."

Wang Lie glared at him: "Can't you wish me well for once?"

Guo Yi shrugged: "I'm just telling you the truth. I'm reminding you because we're trying to survive together. We don't even know if the other side has any Awakened beings, yet you're rushing in. I think you've ruined your brain by using Ghost Crystals to boost your strength."

Zhuoma suddenly chimed in, "My knight squad has expanded to 500 men, all of whom have acquired the professional talent of steel bones, making them fearless of ordinary weapon attacks. Moreover, each of them is equipped with a set of black iron-grade Xuan armor, which should be able to withstand gunfire. I'll lead them in a direct assault, dismantle their tracks, and turn that mobile city into a sitting duck. Then we can attack however we want..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Feng interrupted her: "No, that's too risky. Although Black Iron professionals have the talent of steel bones and are not afraid of ordinary weapons, these are guns and cannons, not kitchen knives. The penetrating power of bullets is incomparable to that of ordinary weapons. Even if we can stop bullets, what about artillery shells and missiles? Who knows if the enemy has even more powerful weapons?"
