Li Ye proceeded to set the invitation code âSH5215â and informed Zhou Xing.
A few minutes later.
ăCity Communication Channel: K1ă
ăMembers: 2/12ă
ăEngineer: Hello?ă
ăTomorrow: I can see you.ă
ăEngineer: This is unbelievable, this is a Level 2 City Radioâit can accommodate up to 12 members!ă
ăTomorrow: Our members will keep increasing in the future.ă
After a brief chat with Zhou Xing, Li Ye closed the city radio.
After all, this thing consumed a considerable amount of energy and couldnât stay on all day.
Once his City Alliance members gradually increased, Li Ye planned to open it at fixed intervals.
âBrother Li, should we give the City Alliance a name?â Tang Fang reminded from the side.
Li Ye thought for a moment, then spoke.
âLetâs call it the Tomorrow Alliance!â
Accompanied by a few roaring sounds, the Tomorrow and the Engineer started up and drove into the depths of the Eternal Night Zone.
Li Ye immediately convened Old Zhou, Ning Wen, Lin Wu, and others for a meeting to discuss what they had seen in the Zombie Mobile City.
âThis Eternal Night Zone is very strange. I suggest we leave this area as soon as possible and head to a new zone,â Old Zhou spoke with evident worry.
Ning Wen hesitated for a moment, then spoke up.
âI agree with Uncle Zhou.â
Li Ye looked at Lin Wu.
âWhat about you, Lin Wu?â
Lin Wu adjusted his glasses.
âI think we need to figure out whatâs going on in the Eternal Night Zone.â
Li Ye nodded.
In fact, his thoughts aligned with Lin Wuâs.
âNo matter whatâs happening in the Eternal Night Zone, we must get to the bottom of it,â he said.
A new day arrived.
When Li Ye opened his eyes, it was still pitch-black outside.
He glanced at the time and saw that it was 6:43 a.m.
Without bothering to get dressed, Li Ye opened the system to check.
The systemâs cooldown had reset.
ăTime until next Intelligence Refresh: 5 days 16 hours 52 minutes 59 secondsă
ăNumber of Intelligence Entries: 6ă
âA refresh interval of six days⊠looks like this batch of intelligence will be valuable.â Li Ye nodded.
After washing up and stepping out of the armor plating, he found the combat personnel already conducting routine patrols.
Seeing the Lord approaching, they all waved in greeting.
Li Ye returned the gesture briefly and then walked toward the warehouse.
There, he picked up a vegetable bun for breakfast.
The filling of the vegetable bun was made from recently harvested Emerald Lettuce, and it tasted quite good.
The food and freshwater of the Tomorrow were distributed uniformly through the warehouse, and residents received them by paying Contribution Points.
Since there was no registered electronic system yet, Li Ye had recruited a staff member to record transactions on paper.
As the Lord, he naturally didnât need to accumulate Contribution Points, let alone pay.
With over five days remaining until the next Intelligence Refresh, the Tomorrow couldnât just sit idle. It had to explore more zones and gather resources.
What surprised Li Ye was that the Engineer could still supply Level 1 Fuel.
This was mainly because it possessed a Level 1 item.
ăItem Name: Goblin Fuel Processing Deviceă
ăItem Grade: Level 1ă
ăAttached Function: Insert 5 units of Wood and 1 unit of Freshwater to process into 1 unit of Fuel (Level 1).ă
âWhat a great thing!â Li Ye couldnât help but marvel.
For the Tomorrow at its current stage, there were far too many areas in need of fuel.
Whether it was the Waveblade Speedboat on water, the Off-road Vehicle and Storm Infantry Vehicle on land, or the Goblin Helicopter in the sky, all of these vehicles required fuel supply.
The Tomorrow itself needed even more fuel.
After upgrading to a Level 2 Mobile City, the fuel required for its daily operations had drastically increased.
In fact, Level 1 Fuel could hardly meet its demands anymoreâonly Level 2 Fuel would suffice.
All in all, Wood and Freshwater were fairly easy-to-obtain resources in the wild.
Li Ye thus provided the Engineer with 200 units of Freshwater and 1,000 units of Wood, instructing it to help craft 200 units of Level 1 Fuel.
Soon, the fuel flowed through the pipelines of the Engineer into the Tomorrowâs storage compartment in a steady stream.
Li Ye touched his chin, deep in thought.
For now, the Level 1 Fuel was enough. So, it was time to consider expanding the scale of their vehicles.
First, although the Off-road Vehicle currently on the Tomorrow was a Level 1 vehicle, it could be equipped with the Level 2 Heavy Machine Gun Bloodtear Ripper. Such a convoy would still be capable of putting up a fight against the Zombie Swarm.
It had to be said, a Level 2 Zombie Swarm posed an extremely high threat to a Mobile City. Without a convoy forming a front-line shield, the Zombie Swarm would rush the Mobile City and breach its armor plating.
If distance wasnât quickly widened, and too many zombies got caught in the treads and wheels, the Mobile City would stall in the wild.
Second, the Tomorrow currently owned a Level 2 Flying Vehicle â the Black Hawk Helicopter.
Once built and equipped with Level 2 Heavy Machine Guns and Rocket Launchers, it would undoubtedly become a powerful aerial firepower support unit.
In peacetime, the Black Hawk Helicopter could also carry goods and explore new areas.
Although the vision was great, one realistic problem lay before Li Ye.
He severely lacked Level 2 Iron Ore.
âŠâŠ
Zombie Swarms, Bonfire Outposts, Patrol Convoys, Watchtowers, Fortresses, Flesh Mobile Cities, Fortified StrongholdsâŠâŠâŠ
Over the next two days, the Tomorrow encountered multiple zombie bases and vehicles.
Li Ye became increasingly certain that these zombies were the Level 2 Civilization of the Eternal Night Zone.
However, he still didnât know the scale or base of this Zombie Civilization.
The zombies charged in aggressively, and battles erupted again and again.
At these times, the Bloodtear Ripper proved extraordinarily effective. With just one sweep of its firepower, zombies charging the Tomorrow and the Engineer were torn apart like paper.
Even the heavily defended Tyrant couldnât withstand its bullets.
Combined with the Tomorrowâs Molten Cannon, Frost Cannon, and the Storm Infantry Vehicle deployed outside, the Tomorrow relied on this powerful firepower to win multiple skirmishes.
Zhou Xing, the Lord of the Engineer, broke into a cold sweat as he witnessed all of this.
The danger level of the Eternal Night Zone far exceeded his imagination. If not for traveling with the Tomorrow, he didnât know how many times the Engineer wouldâve perished.
Though the battles were perilous, Li Ye still had some concerns in his heart.
There were too many enemies in the wildâambushes came too frequently.
To stay safe, the Tomorrow needed to keep moving at all times.
During these two days, the Tomorrow had consumed a large amount of bullets and shells.
With the Energy Shield deployed for defense, the City Energy had also been significantly depleted.
Moreover, the Tomorrowâs wheels and treads had accumulated a lot of zombie remains.
The armor deck had sustained damage from the Zombie Swarmâs intrusion and urgently needed to find a Safe Harbor for repairs.
A few minutes later, the Tomorrow and the Engineer unexpectedly came across a strange Mobile City.
After picking up the binoculars and taking a glance, Li Ye gently shook his head.
âNo saving it.â
