Chapter 169: Human Resistance Organization "Embers" and the Old Civilization District
On the streets of the urban ruins, three Giants were slowly wandering about.
They were wearing ordinary T-shirts and jeans, resembling Ordinary Residents living in the city.
Each Giant had a strange smile on their face, with drool dripping from the corners of their mouths.

Heavy footsteps shattered the crumbling concrete debris.
Seconds later, just as the Giants passed by a corner, a sudden mutation occurred.
From the surrounding ruined buildings, several Survivors appeared simultaneously at various windows.
And in their hands—they held rocket launchers.
Rocket-propelled grenades, trailing tail flames, whistled through the air and struck the Giants’ heads with precision.
Blazing white flames instantly engulfed their grinning faces as thick black smoke rose into the sky.
"What tremendous power!"Li Ye’s eyes flickered slightly.
Judging by this, it must be a Level 3 Rocket Launcher.
As for how powerful it was—
Once the smoke cleared, the Giants’ faces had already been blown apart.
A bloody mess, exposed white bones—too gruesome to look at.
Yet they seemed to have no reaction to the pain, nor any emotion of anger or vitality.
One of the Giants had suffered a particularly severe head injury. It staggered back several steps before crashing heavily to the ground.
But soon, the Giants slowly began to regenerate their wounds.
The damaged flesh restored itself, skin regrew over exposed bone, and the same smile remained on their faces.
As they looked toward the Survivors firing from the building ruins, the smiles on their faces grew even wider.
As if children had just discovered their favorite toys.
One of the Giants raised both hands and charged at the building ruins, flailing excitedly.
What greeted it was the Survivors’ assault rifle fire.
They aimed for the Giant’s eyes.
Their marksmanship was steady and accurate.
Flames spat from the assault rifles in their hands, bullets whistled forward, carving a series of holes in the Giant’s eye sockets.
The impact was strong—like a finger cutting through butter.
After both eyes were damaged, the Giant immediately lost its vision and began swinging its arms wildly, even stumbling uncontrollably into a nearby building.
Its hundred-meter-tall figure crushed the entire building straight down.
At that moment, a loud explosion echoed from afar.
The back of the Giant’s head exploded, and all its movements slowed significantly.
The Survivors focused their fire on its head, relentlessly shooting until it stopped moving altogether.
Watching this, Li Ye stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Level 3 Rocket Launcher, Level 3 Assault Rifle, Level 3 Sniper Rifle.
No wonder these Survivors dared to fight Giants.
From the look of the battle, they had developed proficient combat techniques.
While nodding repeatedly, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
As Level 3 Monsters, did the Giants have no weaknesses? Even the Survivors could only kill them by focusing fire on their heads.
Suppressing his doubts, he continued to observe.
Despite their enormous size and powerful regeneration, the Giants were limited by extremely low intelligence.
The two remaining Giants were actually lured by the sound of music from speakers set up by the Survivors on a rooftop.
They immediately ran toward the rooftop, pushing each other along the way.
A few minutes later, after their heads had been bombarded by heavy fire, they crashed to the ground and stopped moving.
Just as Li Ye was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a sudden change occurred.
Countless fragments of rubble, like artillery shells, came raining down, sweeping across the ruined building where the Survivors were.
These buildings were already aged and decaying, and the barrage instantly caused them to collapse.
Huge cracks tore open in the walls, dust surged out like fog, and chunks of concrete fell like raindrops.
Entire ceiling panels collapsed with a roar, exposed rebar hung down like fangs of a beast, and heavy building debris occasionally plummeted from above at an angle.
With a deafening rumble, several buildings came crashing down.
The Survivors who had been bravely fighting were instantly buried.
"Who did this?"Li Ye was shocked.
As he shifted his gaze, he quickly spotted the culprit.
It was another resident Giant, also dressed in a simple T-shirt and jeans, standing two to three hundred meters away from the battlefield.
Unlike its kind, this one had a normal expression and a vigilant gaze.
Its weapon was a handful of concrete, casually pulled from the ruins and crushed into fragments with brute force.
Li Ye’s expression changed instantly.
Without a doubt, this was an intelligent Giant!
Such a Giant posed a significantly greater threat to Survivors—and even to Mobile Cities.
At this moment, the Giant was continuously hurling rubble toward the ruins.
These seemingly insignificant chunks of concrete had become deadly weapons in its hands.
Li Ye thought for a moment and immediately made a decision.
"Blow him up."
At his command, the Gunship swiftly descended toward the Giant’s location.
In an instant, a sweeping barrage of ferocious firepower engulfed the Giant.
This Giant let out a pained wail and desperately ran through the urban ruins, using both hands to shield its head.
"Increase the firepower. Don’t give him a chance to recover."Li Ye said coldly.
The Gunship immediately unleashed full firepower, directly blasting the Giant into a burning wreck.
Only after confirming that it had completely ceased moving did Li Ye give the order to ascend.
During this time, the Flight Crew ed to Li Ye.
The Vanguard Armed Gunship had exhausted all its ammunition.
"It’s all used up already?"Li Ye exclaimed in surprise.
Carefully counting—since the landing until now—they had only taken down six Giants.
Fortunately, the Tomorrow’s current reserves of Level 2 Iron Ore were still sufficient; a return trip would allow for resupply.
On the way back, Li Ye deliberately instructed the Gunship to fly over the ruins where the Survivors had been.
To his surprise, two people had actually survived.
At that moment, they were supporting each other as they walked atop the ruins, looking up at the Gunship flying overhead.
Seeing this scene, Li Ye gave a slight nod.
They should be able to follow the flight path of the Gunship to track their way over.
At that time, both sides would be able to communicate and exchange properly.
In fact, the other party’s response was even faster than he had imagined.
In less than two hours, a Survivor arrived on a Motorcycle to make contact.
When he saw the four Mobile Cities anchored along the coast, he became visibly excited.
"This is great! We haven’t seen Mobile Cities come here in years!"
Years?
Li Ye was initially confused but soon figured it out.
The continent adjacent to Southern Continent was the Western Wasteland Continent, and the Taranis Ocean had already been blockaded by a chain of Monster Islands.
Therefore, few Mobile Cities ventured across the sea to reach this region of Southern Continent.
That Survivor first expressed his gratitude to Li Ye and his group for helping his companions.
He then introduced himself and informed Li Ye of the situation in this region.
This Level 3 zone located in the northwest of Southern Continent was called the "Old Civilization District".
The Survivor was very young—at most in his early twenties by appearance. His name was A-Kai, and he was part of the human resistance organization "Embers".
Embers was an organization spread throughout the entire Old Civilization District.
Its goal was to gather and resettle human compatriots in the Old Civilization District and eliminate the Giants.
Whether its headquarters or branches, Embers operated within the urban ruins.
The countless buildings and streets served as natural cover for humanity.
Together with the city’s underground sewer systems, it was extremely convenient for humans to move about.
According to A-Kai, the total number of people in the Embers organization had already exceeded 200,000.
Li Ye couldn’t help but be a little shocked.
200,000 people was a considerable number.
He also felt a sense of admiration.
These Survivors were actually fighting Giants with nothing but mortal bodies.
"I have a question,"Lin Wu spoke up. "Why do you call this place the Old Civilization District?"
A-Kai then explained in detail.
In the Old Era, this area had belonged to a powerful nation.
That nation divided its territory into states, and the place Li Ye and his group were currently in was the Tourism State.
"That’s what the older generation in the organization told me,"A-Kai scratched his head as he spoke, "And they also heard it from even older people when they were young."
Hearing this, Li Ye felt somewhat complicated.
According to estimates, the Old Era had passed several hundred years ago.
The once-prosperous human civilization on this planet had already perished, and the memories of the Old Era could only be preserved through oral transmission from one generation to the next.
A-Kai belonged to the Seventh Division of Embers.
The Seventh Division was located within the urban ruins, operating in the form of a community.
Its main task was to take care of the people in the community and eliminate as many wandering Giants in the city as possible.
As Level 3 Monsters, the drops from Giants were quite valuable.
Level 3 Iron Ore, Level 3 Coal, Level 3 Fabric, as well as a series of Level 2 Items.
If Level 3 Items dropped—especially Level 3 Blueprints or even Level 3 Upgrade Blueprints—it would be an enormous gain.
The Embers organization often traded with human forces in Level 2 zones of Southern Continent, where Level 3 Items could fetch high prices.
It was precisely because of this that the organization had gradually grown stronger.
Upon hearing this, Li Ye scratched his head.
As expected, no matter where you go, resellers were always in demand.
"By the way, you folks must’ve made a lot of money these past years, right?"Ning Wen asked curiously. "You should be able to afford a Mobile City by now and leave the Old Civilization District to develop in a safer Low-level zone."
However, A-Kai shook his head.
"We will not leave this place,"he said firmly.
"The founder of our organization once said this—"
"There has never been a place on the Wasteland where humanity cannot survive."
"Mobile survival has never been humanity’s theme. Courage, battle, sacrifice, and commitment—that is."
As he spoke, this young man’s words carried a hint of sorrow.
"Every member of the Embers organization will continue to fight—until all Giants are completely driven out of the Old Civilization District."
"Otherwise, the sacrifices of our fallen comrades in the organization, and all those predecessors who died one after another—everyone’s efforts would be rendered meaningless."
For a moment, the scene fell into silence.
Old Zhou and his group all looked at this member of the Embers organization with eyes full of admiration, and Li Ye’s gaze also flickered.
This Survivor organization was like wild grass, tenaciously taking root in this dangerous region.
On the Wasteland, everyone had their own choices, and their own paths to follow.
A-Kai hadn’t only come to thank Li Ye—he also brought a proposal from the leader of the Seventh Division.
The Embers Seventh Division and the Tomorrow Alliance would join forces to wipe out the Giant Civilization in the urban ruins.
In fact, the Level 3 weapons used by the Embers Seventh Division were Level 3 finished products dropped from slain Giants.
The number of Level 3 weapons across the entire division was extremely limited.
After all, to mass-produce Level 3 weapons, one needed the Production Workshop of a Level 3 Mobile City.
Embers did not possess a Level 3 Mobile City.
In the Old Civilization District, where Giants were everywhere, Level 3 Mobile Cities were simply too conspicuous and had a low survival rate.
Therefore, whenever a Level 3 Mobile City passed by, the Embers organization would send people to communicate and spend Crystal Coins to request a batch of Level 3 Firearms and Level 3 Vehicles to be produced on their behalf.
Out of curiosity, the Lords of the Level 3 Mobile Cities would always ask the reason.
Upon learning that Embers wanted to drive out all the Monsters from the Old Civilization District, they found it utterly incomprehensible.
Yet the vast majority of Lords still agreed—some even offered to do the processing for free.
Now, the Tomorrow Alliance, which had sailed from the distant ocean, naturally became the partner the Seventh Division sought to collaborate with.
Embers clearly had a whole series of contingency plans prepared long ago.
Every division had in storage the Blueprints or Upgrade Blueprints for Level 3 Firearms, so that when they encountered a Level 3 Mobile City, they could easily collaborate and have them process the Level 3 Firearms.
They had even prepared the required Level 3 Iron Ore and the Crystal Coin compensation.
Regarding this, Li Ye was in no rush to agree and instead began carefully weighing his options.
Cooperating with the Embers Seventh Division did come with several advantages.
First, while undertaking the outsourcing of Level 3 Firearms, the Tomorrow would naturally obtain these Production Items, effectively saving a good amount of money.
Second, if the Tourism State could be fully cleared, it would become a foothold for the Tomorrow Alliance in the Southern Continent. This was a Level 3 zone—if rare Mines, Mineral Veins, or even Oil Fields and Natural Gas Fields refreshed in the wild, it would be a huge gain.
Third, the Survivors of the Embers Seventh Division were clearly familiar with the urban layout. With Level 3 Firearms produced by the Tomorrow arming them in large numbers, their combat strength would increase significantly. Combined with the firepower of the Iron Whale, the Peacemaker, and the Tomorrow, taking down the Giants would be much easier.
Li Ye estimated there were probably over a thousand Giants in the city.
The drops from these Level 3 Monsters were very tempting.
If he could get a Level 3 Cannon Upgrade Blueprint—or even a Blueprint for a Level 3 Vehicle—that would be a huge breakthrough.
Thinking of this, Li Ye nodded.
"Alright, we can cooperate with you."
Seeing him agree, A-Kai let out a long sigh of relief.
"I will deliver your message to the head of our Seventh Division. If all goes well, he will come personally to discuss the details of the cooperation with you."
Li Ye was quite surprised by this.
Though it was clear the other side had no ill intent, if it were him, he would never rashly visit the base camp of an unfamiliar force.
Unless it was a World-class Organization like the Apocalypse Sect serving as a guarantor.
