A Guide to Farming in a Mobile City-Chapter 159: The Most Interesting Legendary Information

Chapter 159

"What’s that noise?"
On the armor deck, Li Ye instinctively turned his head to look in a certain direction.
Something in the distance seemed to have exploded.
Staring toward the source of the explosion, he faintly sensed a bit of unease, then picked up the walkie-talkie.
(Please remember Taiwan Fiction Site→𝓉𝓌𝓀𝒶𝓃.𝒸ℴ𝓂 for the fastest chapter updates)
"Everyone head to the Black Fog Sea Region as soon as possible. Once the mining is done, depart without delay."
A few hours later, the Tomorrow Alliance arrived at the Black Fog Sea Region.
It was a sea area shrouded in dense mist, the fog churning and writhing, wrapping the entire region in a secluded no-go zone.
Even in the bright daylight, sunlight could barely penetrate the fog layer.
The four Mobile Cities sailed into the Black Fog Sea Region and spread out to start mining iron ore.
This time, they couldn’t send out residents to dig. Instead, they used mechanical arms, work claws, and cranes to coordinate with each other for extraction.
After more than an hour, Li Ye quickly tallied the harvest.
2,532 units of Level 2 Iron Ore, 423 units of Level 2 Wind‑Erosion Ore.
Not just the Tomorrow, the other three Mobile Cities likely reaped considerable gains too.
Just then, Li Ye heard a series of rumbles from afar.
He couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
That sound was all too familiar to him—it was the sound of Mobile Cities moving.
And it sounded like there were quite a few of them.
He immediately picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Everyone’s about done mining, right? There are unfamiliar Mobile Cities approaching. Get ready for battle."
Out of caution, Li Ye sent Fang Yong to drive out of the Black Fog Sea Region first.
As the Iron Whale sailed out of the region, Fang Yong immediately saw the distant Mobile Cities.
Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He picked up the walkie-talkie and said,
"Everyone stay inside the region! Those are Monstrous Civilizations’ Mobile Cities! There are more than a dozen of them!"
On the distant sea surface, Mobile Cities of various Monstrous Civilizations—Minotaur, Kobold, Naga, Merfolk, Sea Crocodile—lined up in succession and came surging forth in full force.
The Iron Whale had barely surfaced before it came under a concentrated bombardment from those Monstrous Mobile Cities and had to retreat back into the region.
Fortunately, as a Defensive-type Mobile City, it was sturdy and well-armored. Combined with its speed and execution of Mobile Evasion, it didn’t suffer any real damage.
"Fang Yong, did you get a clear look at the enemy Mobile City configurations?"Li Ye asked.
"Two Defensive-type, seven Assault-type, three Fire-support Mobile Cities... I think. I didn’t get a good look either,"Fang Yong replied.
Li Ye pondered for a moment, then spoke.
"Yang Zheng, try your luck with a shot."
On the armor deck of the Peacemaker, the Electromagnetic Railgun began aiming in the direction Fang Yong had indicated.
The barrel faintly crackled with blue-white electric arcs, and then a blazing white glow ignited at the end of the rail.
Within the misty sea region, the blast and buzz of the projectile rang out, and a conical trajectory shimmering with heat waves streaked across the air.
A Merfolk’s Level 2 Mobile City was immediately struck head-on. The projectile pierced through the City Armor, completely perforating the entire structure from inside out. A massive shockwave detonated within, and the city’s framework crumbled like brittle cookies.
The shockwave spread out in a spherical burst, and the cabins, armor decks, corridors, and heavy machine guns at the epicenter disintegrated into ash.
Then, a torrent of scalding metal jets swept across.
The entire Mobile City shattered as if hit by an invisible giant fist, breaking apart like a sheet of glass.
The surviving Merfolk scrambled into the sea to escape.
Though called Merfolk, these monsters didn’t look like beautiful mermaids at all. Instead, they fully bore the features of fish species.
Fish-like heads, short and stout bodies, huge round eyes, massive jaws split to the base of the ears, and rows of saw-like sharp teeth densely packed like those of sharks.
"...That commotion outside must mean the hit landed,"Yang Zheng slowly said.
"Alright!"Li Ye couldn't help but nod repeatedly.
This Electromagnetic Railgun projectile required 100 units of Level 2 Iron Ore to craft—wasting a shot would indeed be a bit of a loss.
But on the flip side, if one Electromagnetic Railgun shot could take out an enemy Mobile City, then that would be a huge profit.
The monsters quickly became alert and began unleashing overwhelming firepower toward the Black Fog Sea Region.
Li Ye, however, was in no rush to return fire, instead steering slowly with his comrades deeper into the region.
"Yang Zheng, how many projectiles do you have for the Railgun?"Fang Yong asked.
"They’re projectiles. Just two total—I already used one just now,"Yang Zheng corrected."Mainly because the cost is quite steep, so I didn’t make more."
"You could’ve made a few extra,"Li Ye said."They’re pretty useful against Mobile Cities. With some luck, you might destroy a Fire-support Mobile City from a thousand li away in a City Battle."
Just then, the group suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object roaring past overhead.
Li Ye immediately sensed something was wrong and shouted loudly,
"Everyone initiate Mobile Evasion now!"
Above the Black Fog Sea Region—
A heavy bomber slowly swept across.
Its wing contours gleamed with a cold, sharp light under the setting sun. As its massive engines operated, the surrounding air distorted from intense heat.
Inside the bomber, a Kobold pilot gripped the control stick tightly, feet lightly pressing the rudder, eyes scanning the instrument panel.
The Kobold navigator quickly ed a series of adjustment instructions.
The bombardier, machine gunners, and engineers among the crew members operated steadily, all well-trained.
As the heavy bomber slowly opened its bomb bay, rows upon rows of bombs were released.
A piercing screech tore through the sky as the bombs plummeted like raindrops.
Upon hitting the water surface, it was as if a giant hand had torn through the sea—columns of water soared dozens of meters high at the center of the explosions. The shockwaves spread in rings, depressing the surrounding sea into deep pits, then surging back with jagged waves.
The four Mobile Cities spread out and accelerated into evasive maneuvers.
Li Ye clenched his teeth, gazing up at the sky cloaked in black mist.
This was definitely a Level 3 Flying Vehicle piloted by monsters. Judging by the movement, it was very likely a Level 3 Bomber.
Just as he was about to speak into the walkie-talkie, the next moment, a wave of scalding air swept past nearby.
Upon closer inspection, the air still crackled faintly with blue-white electric arcs and residual heatwaves.
Seeing this, Li Ye froze in place.
"Electromagnetic Railgun! I didn’t expect the monsters to have an Electromagnetic Railgun too!"Yang Zheng’s shocked voice came through the walkie-talkie.
"My god!"
"How is that possible?"
Zhou Xing and Fang Yong were both stunned.
Everyone immediately broke into a cold sweat. If their Mobile City were to take a direct hit from an Electromagnetic Railgun, it would be instant death without question.
And that wasn’t all—they also heard rumbling sounds underwater.
Hearing that noise, the four of them felt a chill down their spines.
"Hey—"Zhou Xing felt a drop of cold sweat trickle down his forehead."Don’t tell me this is..."
Beneath the sea surface, a Level 3 Submarine was slowly approaching.
Its streamlined hull cut through the dense seawater, leaving behind a fleeting translucent wake.
Inside the submarine, Naga crew members—Captain, Helmsman, Weapons Officer, Engine Crew—were all at their stations, seasoned and skilled.
Adjusting the submarine’s angle, aiming at the target, loading torpedoes.
The Nagas used hand signals and tactical terms to proficiently complete a series of operations, then fired at the Tomorrow Alliance.
With a muffled "bang", the compressed air blast was filtered through the submarine’s watertight compartments, turning into a dull thud. The entire submarine tilted slightly from the recoil.
Six torpedoes launched from the tubes at high speed.
"Initiate Mobile Evasion now!"Li Ye commanded sharply.
The four Mobile Cities narrowly dodged the incoming torpedoes.
On the upper armor deck of the Tomorrow, the Black Hawk Helicopter, SH-60 “Seahawk” Anti-Submarine Aircraft, and Vanguard Armed Gunship launched into the air one after another.
Guided by the Anti-Submarine Aircraft, the Vanguard Armed Gunship moved above the Naga Submarine and dropped a barrage of MK6 Depth Charges.
However, the Nagas were well-prepared. With a series of experienced maneuvers, the submarine dove rapidly, successfully evading the depth charge bombardment.
Li Ye thought for a moment, then made a decision.
Since they couldn’t eliminate the enemy’s Level 3 Submarine, then they would prioritize eliminating their Level 3 Flying Vehicles.
With a single order, the Vanguard Armed Gunship and the Black Hawk Helicopter flew over the sea region, ready to open fire.
But just as they emerged, enemy anti-air firepower came raining down in dense waves.
Even the well-armored Vanguard Armed Gunship couldn’t withstand it—it was riddled with a string of bullet holes.
Upon hearing the crew members’ , Li Ye was momentarily stunned.
"Could this be the enemy’s Level 3 Anti-Air Autocannon?"
At that moment, he fully realized just how troublesome the monsters were.
More than a dozen Level 2 Mobile Cities.
A Level 3 Submarine.
A Level 3 Flying Vehicle.
A Level 3 Electromagnetic Railgun.
A Level 3 Anti-Air Autocannon.
And possibly more Level 3 Items they hadn’t even discovered yet.
He couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
These Monstrous Civilizations at sea were far more troublesome than he had imagined!
He had no choice but to temporarily retract the order to shoot down the enemy Flying Vehicles.
In the following period, the Tomorrow Alliance used the Black Fog Sea Region as cover to steadily retreat.
During this time, the monsters' Bombers, Submarines, and Electromagnetic Railguns fired continuously.
They even had Level 3 Cannons.
The shells fired from those Cannons would trigger strong sea tornadoes upon impact, forcefully drawing in everything around them—including dispersing the mist.
"Such powerful force! This must be a wind-type Level 3 Cannon,"Yang Zheng judged."I really want one..."
It wasn't until deep into the night that the monsters finally ceased their attacks.
Li Ye briefly assessed the damage.
The Iron Whale was struck by two torpedoes from a Level 3 Submarine. Its hull was breached and took on water, but thanks to emergency repairs from the Engineer, it was nothing serious.
The Tomorrow suffered multiple bombardments from Heavy Bombers. However, due to Mobile Evasion and the Energy Shield, the city sustained minimal damage—only consuming a large amount of energy.
As for the Engineer and Peacemaker, they remained intact.
More than that, what worsened his mood was—
More noise echoed from outside the Black Fog Sea Region.
All rumbling sounds.
Clearly, the monsters had brought in more Mobile Cities, trying to trap the Tomorrow Alliance inside the Black Fog Sea Region.
In response, Li Ye let out a long sigh.
"...I just wanted to mine some ore. Why go to such extremes?"
"Leader, are we going to keep hiding in this sea region?"Zhou Xing asked.
Li Ye immediately fell into thought.
Although the Black Fog inside the sea provided visual cover, staying here left the Tomorrow Alliance far too passive.
Adding to that, the enemy had Level 3 Bombers, Level 3 Submarines, Level 3 Electromagnetic Railguns—
At the thought of Electromagnetic Railguns, he couldn’t help but grimace.
That thing exerted far too much pressure!
Though the monsters lacked vision and were firing blindly, the Tomorrow Alliance couldn’t afford the risk.
If they were hit—even from the side—it would be seriously damaging.
Therefore, Li Ye decided to take a risk.
He chose to sneak out of the Black Fog Sea Region under the cover of night.
Following his command, the four Mobile Cities shut down all lights and adjusted to minimum speed to avoid making any noise.
In the next few hours, the four Mobile Cities drifted forward like sea debris, silently exiting the Black Fog Sea Region.
After cruising a distance at normal speed and confirming no pursuers, Li Ye finally exhaled in relief.
"We’re finally out of danger."
He didn’t want to spend even another moment in the Taranis Ocean—just wanted to reach the Southern Continent as soon as possible.
"Leader, I mined 426 units of Level 2 Frost Ore. Do you want to dispatch a Helicopter now to collect it?"Zhou Xing asked.
"Alright."
As he nodded, Li Ye also felt somewhat tired.
After arranging personnel for night watch, he returned to his room to rest.
By the time he woke, it was already noon.
Judging from the outside sounds, nothing major had occurred while he slept.
While yawning and dressing, Li Ye instinctively opened the System Panel.
This time, the Legendary Intelligence had already refreshed.
Its content was entirely different from previous Legendary Intelligences.
【7. Below is the map of the Taranis Ocean. All Mobile City data on the map will be updated in real-time. (Intelligence Value: Legendary)】
As Li Ye clicked it half-doubtfully, a panoramic map of the Taranis Ocean unfolded before him.
This ocean was shaped like an inverted triangle. The four Mobile Cities of the Tomorrow Alliance appeared in the upper left corner of the map.
When Li Ye clicked on the Tomorrow, the map detailed all its configurations—
From Land, Sea, and Air Combat Vehicles, to City Armor, Mechanical Arms, Cannons, Heavy Machine Guns, Firearms of personnel, and Level 3 Items.
Even Level 1 and Ordinary-grade Items.
All the data was laid out clearly.
Peacemaker, Iron Whale, Engineer...
As Li Ye clicked through each in succession, their equipment configurations were presented one by one.
Moreover, regardless of which Mobile City Li Ye clicked on—be it from the Human side or Monstrous side—all data appeared clearly before him.
Not only Mobile Cities—any deployed Flying Vehicles, Ships, or Submarines under them were shown as well.
The Tomorrow, for instance, appeared on the map as a large blue light dot.
When Li Ye picked up the walkie-talkie and issued a command to deploy a Swordfish Mini Submarine, a small light dot representing it instantly appeared on the map.
"This intelligence is really pretty good!"he exclaimed.
With this, the Tomorrow Alliance could now safely and surely traverse the Taranis Ocean and reach the Southern Continent.
