Devouring City: My Mobile Town Evolves Infinitely - Chapter 32

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When the three city lords heard the voice, they thought it was a medium mobile city or a large mobile city coming to their aid. They could not help but fix their gaze toward the direction from where the voice came.

A mobile city was coming over slowly from not too far away. The words “Luo Yang Mobile City” were carved on the mobile city. It was none other than the Luo Yang Mobile City, which had been watching from the sidelines.

When the three of them saw that it was Luo En, they were all greatly disappointed. They had each tried their best to deal with the mutated bats swooping down at them from the air and also the giant turtle’s flippers which would be swung at them from time to time.

Was this person courting death? Did he not see that even they had to struggle hard just to hold out? Help them?

The three of them were prepared to escape at the first possible moment; they had just been waiting for the right opportunity. And Luo En’s arrival had created this opportunity for them.

Because of the previous transaction, the City Lord Chi Huang had a good impression of Luo En. He immediately advised, “City Lord Luo! Why are you here?”

“I’m here to help all of you!” Luo En blurted out.

“City Lord Luo, don’t joke. We, three medium mobile cities, can’t even do anything to this giant turtle. What can you, the city lord of a small mobile city, do to help us?

“Listen to me, quickly leave! The three of us will wait for an opportunity to escape later. This giant turtle is not something we can fight against! Also, you had come at the wrong time. Those two want to use you as bait to facilitate their escape!” the City Lord Chi Huang advised softly.

“Don’t worry! My Luo Yang Mobile City is not inferior to all of you!” Luo En replied confidently.

He could have used the speed of 300 kilometers per hour of the mobile city to leave the place immediately, but after he saw a certain area on the giant turtle, he changed his mind.

Due to radiation, the giant turtle had become brutal and ferocious. Although it fed on living creatures, it would use its ability to devour ores when it was unable to find food to relieve its hunger.

However, the ores could not be digested by the giant turtle. Hence, they would collect somewhere in the giant turtle’s body and form an ore field.

And it was precisely because Luo En had seen the ore field on the giant turtle’s right foot that he changed his mind and chose to take the initiative to attack!

There must be at least tens of tonnes of copper and iron ores in such a large ore field! There might even be silver ore! Thinking of this, Luo En could not help but feel excited.

Then, Luo En looked at the giant turtle in front of him and said slowly, “Fire!”

Upon receiving the order, Wang Yu and the men immediately pressed the switch on the machine. As the gears turned, the reconstructed shells were loaded into the cannons one by one. Then, the gunners took aim, lit the fire, and fired!

Shells, accompanied by sparks and black smoke, shot out from the muzzles of the cannons and bombarded the giant turtle in front.

When the giant turtle saw the shells bombarding, it immediately retracted its limbs into its shell.

Boom!

Sounds of the explosions rang out. Rings of blast waves swept over, and the field was filled with smoke and dust.

City Lord Chi Huang and his men became frozen in place when they saw, from the side, such powerful shells. They were stunned that Luo En, the city lord of a small mobile city, had such powerful cannons! Their eyes were wide as they stared intently in the direction of the giant turtle.

After the scene had settled, everyone looked over.

At this moment, a crack had actually appeared on the turtle shell where the artillery shells had struck! Blood was also flowing non-stop from the crack, and the giant turtle was knocked back a few meters by the impact of the shells!

The three of them looked at the scene in front of them in utter disbelief.

The three medium mobile cities had been fighting for a long while, yet they were unable to cause any damage to the incomparably hard turtle shell, and Luo En, of a small mobile city, was actually able to injure the giant turtle! He even blasted the giant turtle back by a few meters! They could not help but suspect if what they were seeing was real!

The giant turtle stretched out its head in pain and let out a series of angry roars towards the Luo Yang Mobile City. The ferocity in its eyes became even more intense!

“City Lord! We can’t hold out any longer!”

“That’s right, City Lord! Are we going to die here?”

On the other side of the battlefield, more than twenty mobile cities were struggling against the attacks by the mutated bats. One of the men looked at the mutated bats in despair and said bitterly.

“Am I really going to die here…” the figure in front of him looked up at the sky and muttered.

Suddenly, the mutated bats that were swooping down on the various mobile cities gave up on their targets upon hearing the giant turtle’s roars. They turned and flew towards Luo En.

“Quick! Stop those mutated bats! Don’t let them get there!”

While the city lords were still wondering why this group of mutated bats had suddenly given up attacking, one of the city lords, who was also stunned for a moment, suddenly shouted.

After hearing the shout, the other city lords came back to their senses and anxiously ordered the cannons to continue firing. They were determined to stop the mutated bats before them!

Combining the explosion just now, the furious roars of the giant turtle and the abnormal behavior of the mutated bats, they had also realized that a mobile city was currently fighting against the giant turtle. The giant turtle was obviously very furious and had wanted to gather all the mutated bats to destroy that mobile city.

Luo En had given them the hope of survival, so they naturally had to hold on to it tightly! At present, Luo En was struggling against the giant turtle, and what they had to do was to stop the mutated bats which were going there to provide support!

However, no matter how they tried to stop them, a large number of mutated bats still flew out.

Luo En looked at the mutated bats flying towards him from not far away and said calmly, “Deploy the energy shield!”

The main reason why he had taken the initiative to attack was because Wang Cheng had told him not long ago that the preliminary energy shield had been built! With the energy shield, the mutated bats would not be able to pose a threat to him.

“Yes, City Lord!”

The men below immediately turned on the switch of the energy shield. Immediately, the mobile city emitted a blinding white light, and then the mobile city was enveloped by a ring of invisible energy.

The mutated bats that were swooping down in the air came into close contact with the energy shield outside the mobile city.

The mutated bats were all repelled but the energy barrier only rippled slightly. Then, the mutated bats charged again fearlessly at the energy barrier but the energy barrier remained unaffected.

“This… Am I seeing things? Energy shield?!”

“How can a small mobile city have an energy shield?! Could he have lied to us? Was he originally the city lord of a medium mobile city?”

Everyone present looked at the white light outside Luo Yang Mobile City and were all dumbfounded. They were perplexed about where Luo Yang Mobile City’s energy shield had come from.

The giant turtle charged angrily at the Luo Yang Mobile City, intending to use its body to smash the mobile city, which was like an ant to it.

Luo En saw the giant turtle charging over and steered the mobile city at an even greater speed, avoiding impact with the giant turtle easily.

Then, he took the opportunity to continue firing!

Wang Yu and the men aimed the muzzles of their cannons at the turtle’s right foot and started firing!

Boom!

Shells flew out one after another.

As usual, the giant turtle retracted its limbs into its shell, causing the shells that were aimed at its right foot to miss the target.

Although the wounds on the giant turtle’s body were getting deeper and deeper, and more and more blood was flowing out, these were all superficial wounds to the giant turtle. What Luo En wanted was not this, but the ore field on the giant turtle’s right foot!

However, the giant turtle was exceptionally smart. Every time Luo En’s shells came, it would retract its limbs into its hard turtle shell. This rendered Luo En helpless, yet he was reluctant to give up. After all, they had been fighting for so long and had used so many shells, it would be a waste to flee halfway!

As such, both sides were powerless against each other.

With the passage of time, the artillery shells in Luo Yang City gradually could no longer sustain the consumption.

When the giant turtle swung its flipper and lunged again at Luo Yang Mobile City, Luo En’s eyes suddenly lit up. He realized that when the giant turtle was attacking, it would not be able to react in time to any attack.

However, it would definitely be moving when it attacked. To hit a small area when the enemy was moving would demand a very high degree of accuracy from the gunner! But as far as the eye could see, there was no gunner in the entire mobile city with such high accuracy!

“I think I can give it a try!”

Just as Luo En was fretting over this, a hoarse voice could be heard in the control room through the dormitory’s microphone..
