Devouring City: My Mobile Town Evolves Infinitely - Chapter 24

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As Luo En was thinking, he made his way immediately to the Resource Room.

When Luo En arrived at the Resource Room, there were workers outside transporting ores into the room.

“Greetings, City Lord!”

The workers greeted Luo En respectfully as he approached.

Luo En nodded and said, “Everyone has worked hard all day! Go and rest. I’ll handle this!”

“Thank you, City Lord! Long live the City Lord!”

Everyone cheered on hearing Luo En’s words.

They were indeed tired after working all day and could not wait to rest. Now that Luo En had taken the initiative to handle the ores, they were so happy that they almost jumped for joy.

After everyone had left, Luo En looked at the pile of ores before him and smiled. He concentrated and said, “System! Devour!”

[City Lord System: Devouring…Devour successful!]

[City Lord System: Congratulations to the host for obtaining 18,200 Evolution Points!]

The System’s voice sounded, and Luo En saw tens of thousands of Evolution Points appear on his personalized panel.

Of course, as usual, Luo En kept some ores as raw materials for the manufacture of machines.

“System! Purchase the design blueprint for a drone!”

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

Just as the System’s voice had finished, a yellow blueprint appeared within the storage space.

The design blueprint of a drone was similar to the design blueprint of a small detector; it could not be duplicated and could only be used once.

Looking at the yellow blueprint in his hand, Luo En picked up his walkie-talkie as usual and said, “Wang Cheng!”

Not long after Luo En had finished speaking, Wang Cheng was quickly seen walking over from a distance. He came to Luo En’s side and said respectfully, “City Lord! What did you call me for?”

Luo En smiled and said, “Look at this.”

As he spoke, Luo En took out the yellow blueprint and handed it to Wang Cheng.

“This… This is? The design blueprint for a drone?!” Wang Cheng asked in shock.

Luo En did not say anything. He just nodded, but that had already confirmed it.

Wang Cheng was so excited that his hands were trembling. His lips were quivering as he said, “This… This is too unbelievable! City Lord, you even managed to get the design blueprint of a drone! I’ve always dreamed of making a drone, but it’s not something that a small mobile city like ours can have? I really didn’t expect it! Now, my dream is about to come true, hahahaha!”

Luo En smiled and patted Wang Cheng’s shoulder. “Make a drone as soon as possible!”

“Yes, City Lord! I will definitely do my utmost!” Wang Cheng replied resolutely.

“En! Work hard! There will be more in the future!” Luo En said, with a meaningful smile.

“Yes! I will take my leave!” Wang Cheng replied respectfully, and then left excitedly.

After seeing that Wang Cheng had left, Luo En also came to the rest area and got ready to rest. After being busy all day, Luo En was also a little tired, body and soul. After having a relaxing bath, Luo En lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Night came quietly. It was dark outside the mobile city, even the mobile city was only emitting a faint light. The gunners took turns to guard their posts and perform their duties. Once any mutated creatures were found within a thousand meters of the mobile city, they would be mercilessly shot to death.

The method used by the Black Dragon Mobile City was surprisingly the same as that used by Luo En. Apparently, the method that Luo En had thought of, at the very last moment, was very effective and widely used.

At this moment, Hei Long was also in his mobile city. He looked at the mutated creatures outside the city and suddenly remembered that he had not told Luo En how to deal with these mutated creatures. Hence, he was about to pick up the walkie-talkie to speak when he saw a mutated creature, which came within a thousand meters of the mobile city, being shot dead by Luo Yang Mobile City.

Hei Long did not think much of this as he had thought it was a coincidence, but when he next saw again that Luo Yang Mobile City would only open fire when the mutated creatures were within a thousand meters of the mobile city, he could not help but be greatly shocked.

He thought to himself, “This… How did he know the method to deal with the mutant creatures? Logically speaking, the method was only circulated among some large mobile cities at the moment. I got to know this method only through a lot of connections and had to pay a huge price for it… It seems that this Luo En is really something!”

Seeing that his ally was fine, Hei Long went to rest in peace.

The sun set in the west and rose in the east. The day passed quickly. When the first rays of the morning sun shone on the land, Luo En and Hei Long, as well as the residents of their mobile cities had already woken up and started to get busy.

“It’s time for breakfast!” Luo En stretched, picked up the walkie-talkie and said.

Upon hearing Luo En’s words, everyone stopped what they were doing and walked towards the square.

When everyone arrived at the square, the chefs had already placed the breakfast in front of everyone.

Two white steamed buns and a potato. Although it could not be compared to the previous few meals, it was already very good. It was almost comparable to the standard of a medium mobile city.

Everyone smelled the aroma and their mouths watered. Upon Luo En’s order, they began to wolf down their food.

Soon, everyone had finished their breakfast.

After watching everyone finish their breakfast in satisfaction, Luo En picked up the walkie-talkie and said, “We’ll start wrapping up today! Then, we can leave this place!”

“Great! We can finally leave this place!”

“That’s right! This place is too remote! There’s nothing here! This mountain range doesn’t even have a few decent trees!”

Everyone started talking upon hearing Luo En’s words.

“Alright! Let’s begin!” Luo En said loudly.

“Yes, City Lord!”

Everyone replied in unison.

Then, a group of men walked down from the mobile city toward the mining area on the ground. Of course, Luo En also followed closely behind.

When Luo En arrived at the mining area, he was greeted by Hei Long and his men. Like Luo En, they were here to wrap up the work.

“Brother Hei Long!”

“Brother Luo En!”

The two smiled and greeted each other.

“Brother Hei Long, how was your progress last night?” Luo En asked.

Hei Long smiled and said, “All thanks to Brother Luo En for the precious gift. The energy shield of our Black Dragon Mobile City has been repaired. Hahahaha, and the ammunition is almost replenished!”

“Congratulations!” Luo En replied gently.

Hei Long immediately asked Luo En, “What about you, Brother Luo En?”

Luo En smiled and said, “Not bad!”

Hei Long saw that Luo En did not elaborate, so he did not ask further. He continued, “How about we go to the marketplace after we have finished our work here?”

“Alright! I also have this intention!” Luo En nodded and said.

“Do you have any more small detectors, Brother Luo En? I am thinking of buying a few more units. The price is negotiable!” Hei Long asked expectantly.

Luo En immediately replied, “No, Brother Hei Long, you too know that the small detectors are monopolized by the large mobile cities. Even if you want to buy them, the price will be astronomical! I’m already very lucky to have these few units. How can there be more?”

Hei Long sighed disappointedly and said, “Alright! It’s indeed very lucky to have one or two small detectors!”

How would he believe this! How could Luo En not have small detectors in his possession? Previously, when he was working with Wang Yun, Wang Yun had personally revealed that Luo En had the design blueprints for small detectors. Now, Luo En was saying that he had no more? He did not believe a word of it. Of course, it was normal for Luo En not to want to sell them. After all, this kind of thing, like wealth, should not be revealed to others.

If it was discovered by another mobile city, it would bring destruction upon the city.

Seeing that Luo En had no intention of doing so, Hei Long naturally did not continue to pester him.

Thus, the two of them, each moved a chair over and sat down, and started chatting again.

Time passed minute by minute. Just as the two of them were chatting heartily, Wang Cheng came over running and said, “City Lord! We’ve finished wrapping up!”

Upon hearing this, Luo En immediately stood up and said, “Alright! Get everyone into the mobile city! We’re ready to set off!”

At this moment, someone from Hei Long’s side also came over to report that the wrap-up work had been completed.

“Brother Luo En! Prepare to set off for the marketplace!” Hei Long said with a smile.

Luo En nodded and replied with a clasped fist, “Yes! I’ll still need Brother Hei Long to lead the way!”
