“Yes, City Lord!”

As Luo En swung the control stick from side to side, the huge mobile city gradually advanced towards the mountain range ahead.

Soon, the mobile city entered the mountain range.

“Wang Cheng!”

Luo En picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke into it.

Not long after, Wang Cheng walked in and said respectfully, “City Lord, are you looking for me?”

Luo En thought for a while and said, “Bai Chen has already noticed the growth rate of our mobile city. He won’t let us off so easily. We have to be fully prepared. Now, send someone to search for ore resources with all the small detectors. We have to ensure that we have sufficient ammunition!”

“Yes!”

With that said, Wang Cheng brought Zhang Bo and the men to the ground.

This mountain range was several thousand kilometers long, and it was also a mountain range near the central region. Therefore, there would be quite a lot of ore resources here.

Soon, everyone got busy.

Probing, marking, mining, and transporting, every step was strictly controlled; there was not a single mistake.

Luo En watched all this from the square and smiled with satisfaction.

I have over 60,000 Evolution Points now… I can buy two Quake Cannons in case of emergencies… By then, even if Bai Chen comes after me, I won’t be as pathetic as before… Luo En thought to himself.

With that thought in mind, Luo En immediately focused his mind and turned on the System. His right hand clicked it a few times.

Instantly, the Evolution Points on Luo En’s personalized panel decreased by more than 10,000.

At the same time, two shells with dense grain lines appeared in the storage space of the System.

“That’s what a Quake Cannon is…”

Luo En took out a Quake Cannon shell. It was cold to the touch, and its surface was rough due to the grain lines. Apart from the grain lines on its surface, it was no different from other ordinary shells. However, it was the best weapon against mobile cities with energy shields.

After clearing up his mind, Luo En walked down from the mobile city and came to Wang Cheng’s side.

Wang Cheng saw Luo En walking over and said respectfully, “City Lord! What can I do for you?”

“Well, this is the Quake Cannon, which is the strange shell that Bai Chen and his men fired earlier. With it, the next time we encounter the White Tremor Mobile City, we won’t be so passive,” Luo En replied calmly.

As he spoke, he took out two Quake Cannons from the storage space of the System and placed them in front of Wang Cheng.

When Wang Cheng saw that the shells were exactly the same as the strange shell that Bai Chen had fired earlier, he was so shocked that he could not speak.

“I’ll store these two Quake Cannons properly now! That’s great! With these two Quake Cannons, we won’t have to worry about those medium and large mobile cities anymore,” Wang Cheng said excitedly after a long pause.

Luo En’s tall and mighty omnipotent image was deeply imprinted in Wang Cheng’s mind.

After speaking, Wang Cheng took the two shells and headed straight for the mobile city’s cannon zone.

After seeing Wang Cheng leave, Luo En found a place to sit down in the same area to watch Zhang Bo and the men mine ores.

“City Lord! We’ve found gold! We’ve found gold again!” Zhang Bo hurriedly ran over from not far away and said happily.

This time, Luo En was not as excited as the last time. He only replied indifferently, “Yes, very good. Continue mining. I’ll give all of you extra food tonight!”

To him, as long as the gold mine was not a large gold mine, it would not be able to arouse much of his interest. Currently, they were still a long distance away from the central region. The probability of large gold mines appearing here was very low.

As time elapsed, a worker had brought over a stool. Luo En sat down and waited. However, he had a bad premonition, but when he thought about it, there was nothing amiss.

…..

At this moment, on Bai Chen’s side, the ground shook, and smoke and dust rose. Huge mobile cities were moving together in a certain direction.

In the White Tremor Mobile City’s control room, Bai Chen looked at the big screen in front of him. At this moment, a map was displayed on the big screen. On the map, there was a small red dot moving slowly.

But not long after, the little red dot stopped.

Seeing the red dot stop, Bai Chen immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said, “Luo Yang Mobile City has stopped!”

“It has finally stopped, Bai Chen. How much longer will we get there?”

A voice could be heard immediately.

Bai Chen looked at the map and estimated the distance before replying, “It will probably take another day.”

“En, keeping moving!”

After saying that, Bai Chen and the others steered their respective mobile cities and continued driving towards the red dot.

…..

“Alright, everyone stop. Pack up and go back to eat!” Luo En said loudly.

Then, he turned around and walked towards the square on the mobile city. The workers behind him packed up and followed closely behind.

When everyone stepped onto the square, the strong aroma of food assaulted their noses.

Dinner was still a bowl of porridge, two white steamed buns, half a bowl of pickled vegetables and one corn.

Everyone swallowed their saliva as soon as they smelled the aroma. They stared intently at the food in front of them and upon receiving Luo En’s instruction, began to wolf it down.

After the meal ended, the sky had gradually darkened.

As night fell, the mutated creatures also descended upon every corner of this world.

Luo En adopted the same method as before; the men took turns to stand guard while the rest returned to their rooms to rest.

The night was unusually quiet. Although there were mutated creatures approaching the mobile city, they were all killed by the guards in the cannon zone.

Time passed quietly. As the first ray of sunlight pierced through the darkness in the morning, the mutated creatures on the ground had all gone underground and disappeared.

At this moment, the workers in the mobile city had already gotten out of bed. After washing up and eating breakfast, they came to the ground and began their hard work for the day.

Because there were more small detectors, the workers were mining the ores fast.

In just a day, the workers had finished mining the land within a few kilometers of the mobile city.

In total, 30 tonnes of copper, 3 tonnes of iron, and 20 kilograms of gold were mined.

To be able to obtain such a result so quickly from just mining a few kilometers was overall quite good.

Luo En looked at the pile of ores in front of him and smiled happily.

Right at this moment, the ground suddenly began to shake, and the frequency became faster and faster.

“Everyone, get into the mobile city!” Luo En said loudly.

Hearing the order, everyone followed Luo En into the mobile city.

“City Lord Luo! We’ve met again!”

Just then, a voice came from a distance..
