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

This had to be Lin Yi's own secret. No one else could know that he was the sole head of Company A... Otherwise, all the effects Lin Yi envisioned would be impossible to achieve.

The character he gave to the pioneer was one of arrogance, self-confidence, superiority, and an insatiable curiosity.

However, speaking of it, it seems that Lin Yi is doing something unnecessary if he only shows it to Texas at the moment... Although it is likely that this will be proven to be a necessary step in the future, Lin Yi still couldn't help but ponder it for a moment.

After a while, once the food chain issue is resolved, we should start preparing to develop more residents in the city...

Questions alone are not enough. There are too many things that cannot be solved by questions.

While the pioneers were walking on the land of the city, on the other side, Lin Yi was lying in the cabin, and Texas was gnawing on the scavenger's meat beside him.

Although she already has her own cabin, Texas always has the habit of running to Lin Yi's side... Not only because the well is there, or because she expects Lin Yi to give her something, but more because of some reason that Texas himself can't explain.

If Texas had to explain it himself, it might be that in this state of being alone, he naturally relied on Lin Yi...

Texas hadn't experienced his family's genocide for too long. Therefore, in this state of escape, Lin Yi, like a guiding light in a new world, naturally attracted Texas...

When a person is trapped in the depths of the sea, desperately wanting to escape the world they live in, Lin Yi and the entire city around him undoubtedly provide this person with the best place to go, even a home...

Texas is that guy.

It is also because of this that no matter how bad the situation in the city is, Texas has no intention of leaving.

Initially, she had only planned to gather enough supplies. But now, she wasn't planning to leave anytime soon. She was somewhat envious of the secluded life here...it felt like another paradise.

However, this paradise seems a little bit like hell.

But no matter what, for Texas, this is a paradise for those who seek to escape from the world.

Therefore, Texas was deeply attracted by Lin Yi and the city.

At this moment, Texas's mind flashed with such thoughts. Her analysis of herself was quite accurate.

And it was at this moment that suddenly, Lin Yi next to Texas stood up abruptly, causing Texas to almost fall down.

"What's wrong? Lin Yi?"

"The pioneer is back, and I hope he will bring good news."

Lin Yi smiled and told Texas. Texas was stunned at first, then she remembered the person Lin Yi had told her about.

"Will you follow me to meet him?"

Lin Yi turned around, looked at Texas, and asked with a smile.

"Go! Why not go?"

Texas also responded with a smile, then stood up and followed Lin Yi closely.

........................

Lin Yi lit a torch, and he and Texas walked away in the night.

"Just to be clear, my old friend might not have the best temper. If you feel offended after meeting him, please bear with me."

Lin Yi said calmly, and then Texas nodded.

After Lin Yi's introduction along the way, Texas had already learned that the Pioneer was a cyborg and his characteristics. But this did not prevent her from being full of curiosity about the upcoming Pioneer.

When she began to escape from the real world, she devoted all her energy to exploring the city.

Then, as Texas walked down the road, suddenly, a soft orange-red light caught her eye. Then, a wide-brimmed cowboy hat appeared in her sight.

"Hey, Master, you brought me a new friend?"

Texas's eyes then caught sight of the pioneer. He walked up and greeted Lin Yi. Then, he glanced at Texas and asked. There was no emotion in the electronic synthesized voice.

So, Lin Yi's code name is "The Controller"...

Texas chewed on this new information in his mind. At the same time, Lin Yi also put on a smile and faced the pioneer.

"Well, a new friend came to this city while you were away... By the way, did you get a new body?"

"The other prosthetics are still out there exploring new areas, so I just took a less-used prosthetic for daily use. It won't get in the way anyway."

The pioneer said this. Texas was a little surprised when he heard the news and looked up at the pioneer.

So... this is just one of his prosthetic parts?

What kind of organization is this leader?

For a moment, Texas couldn't help but start to fantasize.

She had already witnessed Lin Yi's power. Although she had never actually used it, she was well-versed in the city and possessed a variety of magical and convenient abilities...

Although I have just seen the pioneer in front of me, he doesn’t seem to be simple at the moment.

"Then, you can handle this girl yourself. You know my temper. I don't want to bother with this..."

"Okay, all right. Let's not talk about that for now. What's the resource situation like?"

"One hundred and twenty tons of steel, this is all we can initially retrieve. The Emperor should be responsible for delivering these tomorrow."

The pioneer took off his hat, dusted it off, and said.

"So...how long will you stay?"

"I'll take care of some things in the city. In five days, I'll go back to the wilderness."

The pioneer put on his hat and replied. Texas couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this.

Is he going to stay in the city for five days?

"Oh...right, one last question, Master."

Just as Texas was thinking, the pioneer suddenly spoke up and asked Lin Yi, "What's the situation on the food chain?"

Food chain?

Texas' heart skipped a beat when she heard this new term, and then a thought flashed through her mind.

This food chain...could it be what Lin Yi was worried about a few days ago?

At that moment, Texas felt a strong curiosity.

Chapter 15: 15 It is a good thing to take more food from the food chain

For a moment, Texas felt a sense of curiosity about the food chain.

"It's the same as always. Not great, but not bad either... Aside from the time constraints, there aren't any more problems."

Lin Yi said casually. He had been closely monitoring the food chain for the past two days. This creature seemed to specialize in areas with a lot of inorganic and organic matter. Over the past two days, Lin Yi had seen it devouring large amounts of debris and fresh food.

Lin Yi even felt sad about this for a while.

These guys... don't seem to have any intelligence. All they follow is their biological instinct, the instinct called hunger.

Lin Yi thought so in his heart.

However, thanks to this, the pace of the food chain was slightly slowed down. Because of this, Lin Yi felt a little relieved.

However, although there was enough time to prepare, Lin Yi still felt uneasy.

Using a large number of people to pile up the insects can indeed increase combat effectiveness in a short period of time. However, the enemy's food chain also has a large number of soldiers, so the total number of insects may be several times that of the insects.

In addition, the food chain itself can be said to be a killer with human wave tactics. Just relying on the current combat effectiveness, Lin Yi feels that he has only a little more chance of winning, but it is still unstable.

If the estimate was wrong, or if the power of the food chain was even stronger than he imagined... then Lin Yi probably had no hope.

Facing such an enemy, we must not be careless.

We must make more preparations and be prepared for the worst.

Lin Yi thought so in his heart.

In this city, there was so little room for maneuver. Lin Yi estimated that the only thing that could be of use was probably madness. In other words, if he wanted to make more preparations and improve his chances of winning, he would need madness, a lot of it.

As mentioned earlier, there are many sources of Madness. Expanding the human activity area can earn Madness. However, when we first arrived in the city, the human activity area was already over a kilometer, but it has been dwindling over time. Now, we are back to the starting point, and no Madness is awarded.

But in the current situation, there is no way to continue expanding the territory...

In addition, recreating the original city's landscape and culture can also gain popularity, but this is obviously not possible now.

In other words... the only option left is to kill monsters to gain madness.

Lin Yi had already had this plan in mind long before the pioneers returned here.

The scavengers were running low on madness. Even if they concentrated their efforts on slaughtering the monsters late at night, they probably wouldn't be able to muster enough madness. They couldn't find enough of the other monsters right away...

In other words, the best way at the moment is to try to snatch some food from the food chain.

Frankly speaking, Lin Yi had been craving the madness that the food chain could bring for a long time. If he hadn't been unable to defeat it, he would have thrown it into the well long ago and turned it into a bright red madness.

But now... I can't beat you, but can't I beat the fresh food over there?

It’s just a fight for food, I’ll grab it!

After making up his mind, Lin Yi controlled the Pioneer and said calmly:

"Okay... I'll go over there tomorrow to check out the situation and see if I can slow down that thing."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

After finishing this conversation, the pioneer walked straight towards the cabin. Listening to the conversation between the two, Texas was stunned for a moment.

Is he going to go to the other side of the food chain tomorrow?

Suddenly, some thoughts came to Texas' mind.

Of course, she also knew that Lin Yi probably said these words to her on purpose... However, based on her understanding of Lin Yi, she was sure that since he dared to say these words to her, it meant that as long as she was careful, this matter itself would not endanger her life.

Suddenly, Texas, who became quick-witted, made a decision.

How about... secretly following them and taking a look tomorrow?

........................

Tonight, the pioneers returned to the third cabin. This cabin had been built by Yizhi overtime. Lin Yi estimated that by the time they had five cabins, they might be able to harvest a large amount of madness.

But there is no building materials now, and we can’t go any further. The building materials nearby have either been stripped clean by Lin Yi or eaten up by the food chain.

Time went on like this until the next day. Early in the morning, the pioneer walked out of the cabin in the sunshine and headed into the distance.

Texas had already woken up and now poked his head out of the cabin. When the pioneer's figure disappeared at the end of his sight, he quietly came out and walked towards the pioneer.

She deliberately maintained her speed, hoping to keep the distance... but soon, before she took two steps, in the empty wilderness, Texas made an embarrassing discovery.

The pioneer was not far ahead, waiting for him. In the sunlight, the orange-yellow electronic eyes beneath the wide-brimmed cowboy hat stared at Texas, and then he spoke:

"I was wondering when you would catch up."

"You... knew I was coming back?"

"I could tell from your expression yesterday. You're too shallow and too easy to be fooled. Let's go."

The pioneer said this and turned away. Texas hesitated for a moment, then followed the pioneer.

"So…what are we going to do?"

"Go clean up the bugs along the food chain. It's that simple... Look, here we are."

The pioneer spoke calmly, then suddenly stopped. He raised his chin toward the horizon and said, "Texas looked into the distance, his pupils shrinking slightly."

At the horizon, a layer of pitch-black stuff was densely packed there...Only when you looked closely could you see that they were all bugs!

Among the insects, there was a gigantic being that looked like a small hill...

They look a bit like Originium Worms, but it's obvious to the naked eye that the strength of these things is probably not comparable to that of Originium Worms...

"These are, the food chains?"

"Only the middle one is. The others are companion creatures, fresh food. I never expected they were only four kilometers away from home."

The pioneer spoke calmly, then lowered his mechanical head and looked at Texas, then said:

"Come on, put on your personality and shoot two shots there."

Texas didn't refuse. She was planning to try the bugs herself.

He replaced his personality card, raised the barrel, and loaded the penetrating bullet in one smooth motion. Then, Texas pulled the trigger.

Suddenly, the bullet burst out with a loud "bang". Two seconds later, three fresh foods fell to the ground. Texas' heart sank.

Although it was killed quickly... it was nothing compared to all the bugs.

And at this moment, something happened that made Texas shudder.
