Devouring City: My Mobile City Evolves Infinitely - Chapter 26
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Luo En sat on a chair in the square, leisurely basking in the sun. He looked at the passing scenery along the way and gradually fell asleep.
He dreamed that he had relied on the City Lord System to become the largest and most powerful mobile city in this world. All mobile cities had to listen to his commands. Under his command, the originally chaotic world became orderly…
Time passed. The sun gradually set in the west, and darkness quietly came, sweeping the whole world.
This time, Luo Yang Mobile City did not turn off all the lights in the city like before. Currently, the tracks of the Luo Yang Mobile City had been built, and with the speed of the mobile city, even the mutated creatures on the ground would not be able to catch up with the mobile city.
The city was still guarded in shifts to ensure that everyone had sufficient sleep.
The Black Dragon Mobile City beside him also did not turn off its lights, and continued to charge forward.
The night passed quickly. This time, Luo Yang Mobile City had gotten through the night peacefully without having to use any ammunition.
The sun rose from the east once again. The people in the mobile cities had all woken up and begun yet another busy day. However, as the mobile cities were not mining ores, there was not much to do. Yet, everyone was still very proactive in their work.
As usual, Luo En had come to the square to bask in the sun.
“Brother Luo En! We’re almost there!” Hei Long took out the small token, pressed it a few times and said.
There was a vibration in Luo En’s pocket, and he took out the small token from his pocket. He clicked it open and heard Hei Long’s voice. He slowly said, “We’re finally here!”
Boom!
Just as Luo En and Hei Long were rejoicing, they suddenly heard a boom from afar. The ground shook, and a blinding light shoned.
“Brother Hei Long! Do you know what’s going on?”
“This… I don’t know either!”
Both Luo En and Hei Long were shocked. They looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what was happening.
“City Lord! What happened?” At this moment, the captain of the guards ran in and asked anxiously.
Hearing the noise, the people in the city panicked.
Luo En looked at the man who came over, shrugged and said, “I don’t know either. Go and maintain order! Tell everyone not to move around!”
“Yes, City Lord!” The man replied respectfully before hurriedly taking his leave.
Looks like the drone could come in handy… Luo En thought.
Then, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said, “Wang Cheng! Bring the drone over!”
Soon, Wang Cheng rushed over from a distance, holding the drone carefully in his hands, afraid of breaking it. He handed it to Luo En.
After Luo En had taken the drone from Wang Cheng’s hands, he carefully placed it on the ground and pressed the power button on top of the drone.
With a hum, the drone slowly lifted from the ground and hovered in the air. The control panel in Luo En’s hands also showed that the drone had been connected.
Luo En swiped the control panel, and the drone immediately flew slowly in the direction that Luo En had specified.
The drone slowly flew toward the source of the ground vibrations. The footage along the way was projected clearly on the control panel in Luo En’s hands.
Soon, the drone arrived at its destination.
What greeted his eyes was a giant turtle! It was almost like an ordinary turtle except that it had been affected by radiation, resulting in its mutation. Many mutated bats could also be clearly seen living inside its shell.
And, opposite to the turtle were three mobile cities. From their size, it could be seen that there were one large mobile city and two medium mobile cities. With the three mobile cities side by side, one could imagine how powerful they were. Yet, what was shocking was that the three mobile cities were actually being suppressed in the fight with the giant turtle.
To be precise, they were being crushed! The three mobile cities could not retaliate at all. Their shells hitting on the back of the giant turtle had produced hardly any trace. And, the mutated bats on the giant turtle were coming endlessly at the three mobile cities at an extremely fast speed.
Due to its heavy weight, the giant turtle was not as fast as the mutated bats on it. However, it still followed closely behind the three mobile cities.
The loud sound earlier was when the giant turtle slammed down its foot hard after it had caught up with one of the mobile cities. Half side of the mobile city was slapped down by the forceful slam.
Fortunately, it was only half of the side, so it did not affect the speed of the mobile city. As for the half side of the mobile city which had been slapped down, it was swallowed by the giant turtle.
Then, the giant turtle roared as it continued to chase the three mobile cities in front of it. The moment the three mobile cities split up and fled, the mutated bats on the giant turtle would swarm in together and attack the first mobile city to separate from the rest and flee.
There was another medium mobile city earlier but because of this reason, when that mobile city fled separately, the entire mobile city was devoured by the countless mutated bats. Therefore, no mobile city dared to be the first to scatter and flee separately
“City Lord! What should we do! We can’t shake off the giant turtle behind us. We can’t beat it or escape. What should we do!”
At this moment, in the large mobile city, a man was speaking anxiously to the figure in front of him.
“Don’t be anxious! I’ve already released the drone. This place is quite close to the marketplace nearby. There should be mobile cities passing by. When we discover them later, we’ll go to them directly to share the stress!” The figure in front did not turn round. Only a voice could be heard. However, from the tone of the voice, it could be seen that the person who spoke was also very anxious.
“City Lord! Found! The drone has found mobile cities. It’s just two small mobile cities!” At that moment, a man hurriedly ran in from outside and said respectfully.
The figure turned round, took the control panel from the man and looked at it.
The footage shown on the control panel happened to be when the mobile cities of Luo En and Hei Long arrived.
“Two small mobile cities are enough! We can always share some of the stress and find an opportunity to run away later!” said the figure.
“Yes, City Lord!”
Then, the figure contacted the city lords of the other two mobile cities and informed them of their current situation before turning and heading in the direction of Luo En.
…..
Luo En looked at everything in front of him in shock and muttered, “The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders!
“Hmm? Not good! These three mobile cities are trying to lure the giant turtle here… they want to drag us down with them!”
On the control panel, Luo En clearly saw that the three mobile cities, which were originally heading forward, were suddenly heading in his direction now.
Then, he hurriedly took out the small token from his pocket and pressed it a few times before saying, “Brother Hei Long! I’ve just checked. It’s very dangerous up ahead. Let’s retreat quickly!”
As he spoke, Luo En recorded what he had just seen and transmitted it through the small token.
On the other side, Hei Long was looking anxiously into the distance. Suddenly, there was a vibration in his pocket. He took out the small token and pressed it a few times. Then, Luo En’s voice was transmitted together with a video clip.
Hei Long looked at everything before his eyes in shock. He could not help but feel his scalp tingle. He hurriedly spoke into the small token, “Brother Luo En! How did you detect this?”
“I don’t have time to explain to you now. We have to retreat as soon as possible, or we’ll be in trouble if the three mobile cities catch up with us!” Luo En ignored Hei Long’s doubts and said worriedly.
“Alright! Let’s go!”
Thus, the two of them maneuvered their mobile cities forward quickly in twists and turns.
Driving in twists and turns could effectively avoid the tracking by drones.
The city lord of the large mobile city behind had realized that the two of them had fled and were out of the drone’s sight. Instantly, he was enraged and cursed.
He was puzzled that the two small mobile cities were able to know that danger was approaching. He knew the locations of Luo En and company because of the drone, but how would Luo En and company know about his situation? He could not figure it out, but now, it was more important to escape!
Luo En and Hei Long sped ahead for a few hours. After confirming that no mobile cities were following them, they heaved a sigh of relief..
