After the three poignant screams from outside, Luo En sat back in his chair and said with a severe look, “This is the outcome of betraying me! I hope that there will not be another from among you!”

“We will follow the City Lord till death!”

Everyone pledged their loyalty.

Luo En laughed and said, “Very good! Since that’s the case, disperse and get on with your own work!”

“Yes, City Lord!”

Everyone replied respectfully and left to get busy with their own work.

After seeing that everyone had left, Luo En too left the conference room and came to the square.

Should I make a small detector for them… This can also increase their strength, right…

Luo En thought to himself, as he looked down from the square at Hei Long and his men who were continuously probing the ground below.

Thus, Luo En turned on the System and said, “System! Purchase a design blueprint for a small detector!”

[City Lord System: Purchase in progress…. Purchase successful!]

The System’s voice sounded and a small detector’s design blueprint appeared in the System’s storage space.

Luo En looked at the blueprint, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said, “Wang Cheng!”

In a short while, Wang Cheng hurried over from a distance and said respectfully, “City Lord! Why do you call for me?”

When Luo En saw Wang Cheng walking over, he took out the design blueprint of a small detector that he had just bought, and handed it to Wang Cheng, saying, “Build a small detector! The faster the better!”

“Why does the City Lord want to build another small detector? We don’t have enough manpower to use all five of our small detectors. Even if we build a sixth detector, we won’t be able to use it!” Wang Cheng asked puzzledly, after hearing Luo En’s words.

Luo En said sternly, “Just do what I tell you to do. Don’t probe too much!”

“Yes, City Lord!”

Wang Cheng took the design blueprint of a small detector and took his leave respectfully.

Seeing that Wang Cheng had left, Luo En got off the mobile city and came to the ground.

He came to Hei Long’s side and said, “Brother Hei Long!”

Hei Long realized that Luo En was beside him and said with a laugh, “Brother Luo En!”

“Brother Hei Long! I’ll give you something good later!” Luo En looked at Hei Long and said with a mysterious smile.

“Oh? What is it?” Hei Long asked, puzzled.

“I’ll keep you in suspense first!” Luo En replied with a smile.

Hei Long smiled and said, “Alright! Hahahaha! Brother Luo En, would you like to visit and have a tour of my Black Dragon Mobile City?”

Upon hearing this, Luo En’s eyes lit up and he immediately said, “Sure! I also wish to experience the splendor of the Black Dragon Mobile City!”

“City Lord! You can’t go! Beware of a trap! Who knows what Hei Long is thinking! It’s very dangerous to enter someone else’s mobile city!”

“That’s right, City Lord! Be careful!”

The guards around him cautioned

“Alright, I’ve already made up my mind, so there’s no need for all of you to say anything more. Besides, Brother Hei Long is our ally, so why would he harm me? All of you stay here!” Luo En said to the men around him.

“Hahahaha! Brother Luo En is so resolute! Please!” Hei Long replied with a smile.

After saying that, he made an inviting gesture. And, Luo En followed Hei Long into the Black Dragon Mobile City.

Inside, the Black Dragon Mobile City was very much like the Luo Yang Mobile City, but it was more exquisite and appeared more grand. There were six cannons at the front of Black Dragon Mobile City, four cannons at its rear, and more than ten small cannons. There were all kinds of transport vehicles, mining machines, and so on. There were also more people in the city than in the Luo Yang Mobile City.

Upon entering, many people could be seen busy at work. Some were repairing, some were cooking, some were transporting ores, and some were patrolling. Everything seemed to be orderly.

“Greetings, City Lord!”

Everyone greeted Hei Long respectfully when they saw him.

Hei Long nodded at everyone and said with a smile, “This is City Lord Luo En!”

“Greetings, City Lord Luo En!”

Everyone looked at Luo En and said respectfully.

“Greetings to you all!” Luo En responded with a smile.

Then, Hei Long brought Luo En around to see the control room, command room, plantation, and other places before finally arriving at the square.

“Brother Luo En, how do you find my Black Dragon Mobile City?” Hei Long looked at Luo En and asked.

Looking at the spacious square, Luo En replied honestly, “Brother Hei Long’s mobile city is indeed great! It is justifiably the small mobile city that is most likely to advance to a medium mobile city! My Luo Yang Mobile City is still far from it!”

After hearing Luo En’s words, Hei Long patted his shoulder and said appeasingly, “Brother Luo En doesn’t have to be anxious. Your Luo Yang Mobile City has five small detectors. For you to advance to become a medium mobile city or even a large mobile city, is not something unattainable! When the time comes, Brother Luo En, do take good care of us!

“Hahahaha! Brother Hei Long, please take care of me before that!” Luo En laughed.

At this moment, a fragrant aroma wafted from not far away. Soon, chefs pushing dozens of small carts, were coming over from a distance.

When Hei Long saw this, he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said, “Everyone! Stop your work and come to the square to eat!”

Then, he turned around and said to Luo En, “Brother Luo En, since the meal is ready, why don’t you eat here?”

Luo En smiled and clasped his fist. “Then, your wish is my command!”

“Please!”

After exchanging some pleasantries, the two of them came to the center of the square and sat down.

“Greetings, City Lord!”

Soon after, more and more people walked over from not far away and respectfully greeted before sitting down.

After everyone had sat down, the chefs placed the food in front of everyone.

Everyone had a bowl of porridge, two white steamed buns, and half a bowl of pickled vegetables, including Hei Long and Luo En.

The standard of the meal was one of the best among small mobile cities. It could even be better than some of the mobile cities that had fallen into dire straits. Only Luo En, who had the Merchant City System, could eat so sumptuously for a regular meal. Typically, small mobile cities could only have food of such a standard on a major festive occasion.

Everyone present picked up their food and wolfed it down. There was a small cup placed in front of Hei Long and Luo En.

Hei Long carefully took a jar from the hands of a chef and opened it carefully. Immediately, a strong fragrance of wine wafted out. Everyone present inhaled the fragrance of the wine greedily, but they could only swallow their saliva.

“Brother Hei Long actually has such a good thing?” Luo En said in surprise. He began to salivate as he smelled the fragrance of the wine.

He really had not expected Hei Long to have such a rare item like wine. Wine had become undrinkable when this world was affected by radiation. Furthermore, there were no suitable conditions currently for brewing wine. Only wines that had been preserved a long time ago were spared the damage, and these wines were all in the hands of those who loved wine as much as their lives.

It was almost impossible to trade for and get wine from the hands of those who loved wine as much as their lives. Even if some of the wines were sold, the price would be sky high!

Although wines were sold in Luo En’s Merchant City System, they were very expensive! The price of a jar of wine was close to 10,000 Evolution Points! This instantly made Luo En abandon his desire to buy it.

“Hahahaha, this is a jar of wine I had spent a fortune on to get! I’m very happy today! So, I took it out for Brother Luo En to try!” Hei Long said happily.

Hei Long poured the wine into his and Luo En’s cups. He only poured half a cup before he stopped and carefully sealed the lid.

Hei Long raised his wine cup and said to Luo En, “Come! Try this wine! Cheers to our alliance! Hahahaha!”

Luo En laughed and said, “Great! Hahahaha, cheers!”

Then, the two of them took small sips to savor the taste of the wine.

“Brother Luo En! How’s the wine?”

“Good wine! Hahahaha!” Luo En laughed heartily.

“Hahahaha, let’s continue!” Hei Long laughed happily.

…..

After everyone at the square had finished eating, Hei Long said loudly, “Everyone, go back to work!”

“Yes, City Lord!”

Everyone left reluctantly.

Just as Luo En and Hei Long were about to finish savoring their wine, Luo En’s small token vibrated.

Luo En then took out a small token from his pocket and pressed it a few times.. A cheerful voice could be heard immediately, “City Lord! Gold… found!”
