Hei Long smiled and said, “Tell me the detailed plan! We can’t just recklessly attack, right? Although our Black Dragon Mobile City is indeed stronger than your Luo Yang Mobile City, our strength is also limited. I don’t want to suffer heavy losses from attacking your Luo Yang Mobile City.”

After hearing Hei Long’s words, Wang Yun said gently, “Don’t worry! I won’t let you guys just attack like that. I will do something to render the cannons in the mobile city ineffective. When the time comes, we will coordinate from within and without and take down Luo Yang Mobile City in one go!

“After we have taken it down, you can take the ores, food, and other resources as you wish; just leave a little for me. The blueprints for the detectors are with Luo En, the City Lord of our Luo Yang Mobile City, so you will just need to capture him. I only want my position as the City Lord!”

“Alright!”

Hei Long agreed without any hesitation; he only had to pay a small price. As long as he could get the blueprints of the detectors, it would be worth it even if he had to pay a higher price! Once the Black Dragon Mobile City had the blueprints of detectors, it would be able to continuously mine more ores.

And once they had ores, the strength of the Black Dragon Mobile City would greatly increase. It might even develop into a large mobile city! At the very least, it would become a medium mobile city!

To him, this deal was beneficial in every way, so how could he refuse?

“Alright! In this case, I’ll take my leave first! I wish us success!” Wang Yun said as he clasped his fist in salute.

Just as Wang Yun was about to turn and leave, Hei Long stopped him and asked curiously, “Wait! I want to know why you, as the commander of Luo Yang Mobile City, want to overthrow your own City Lord. Shouldn’t you be united against the enemy?”

Upon hearing this, Wang Yun laughed, “A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general isn’t a good soldier! A commander who doesn’t want to be a city lord isn’t a good commander!

“Hahahahahaha, good! Indeed, heroes start young! I’ll be waiting for your good news, then!” Hei Long froze for a moment before he laughed loudly and returned the salute with a clasped fist.

When Wang Yun finished speaking, he turned and left. With his back turned, a sinister look flashed across in his eyes, and he muttered, “Heh… It’s only the position of city lord… Hei Long probably won’t easily believe what I have said. I have to think of a way to further gain his trust…”

“City Lord! Can this person’s words be trusted?”

“That’s right, City Lord! I still don’t believe that a small mobile city would have the blueprints for detectors!”

“City Lord! Beware of deception!”

After watching Wang Yun leave, everyone said to Hei Long.

Hei Long did not pay attention to the voices of the men beside him. He sat on the chair and pondered. Then, he said, “There is certainly deception! This person is not as simple as he looks. He is very shrewd! However, the detector part should be real. After all, the projection can’t be fake. He can’t be stupid enough to use a fake one to fool us.

“Now we’ll just see what his motive is… only the position of city lord… I don’t think so!”

“City Lord, what should we do then? Why don’t we just send someone to follow him, then capture him and interrogate him!” someone beside him suggested.

Hei Long immediately replied, “No! If we do that, we’ll only alert the enemy. We’ll deal with whatever comes our way! Moreover, our Black Dragon Mobile City is not one to be trifled with! He won’t be able to scheme against us! Alright, let’s disperse. Go about your own business!”

“Yes, City Lord!”

Everyone left, leaving Hei Long alone in the same place.

Hei Long looked at the spot in the distance where Wang Yun had disappeared, and his eyes flashed with a burst of brilliant light. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he muttered, “Interesting!”

…..

Luo En did not know that he had been betrayed by his own family. At this time, he was waking up in bed. After stretching comfortably, he got up and walked towards the ground.

Just as Luo En was passing by the plantation, Chen Wei hurriedly walked over and said, “City Lord! I’ve already planted the seeds. Do you want to take a look?”

Luo En thought about it. It seemed that he had never been to the plantation before and did not know what was going on inside. He nodded and said, “Alright! Lead the way!”

“Yes!”

Hence, Chen Wei led Luo En to the plantation.

It was a simulated farmland which occupied a few hundred square meters. The outermost area was isolated from the outside world with special materials to prevent the radiation and battles outside from affecting the growth of the vegetables.

Inside was a simulated-reality environment very suited for the growth of vegetables. The soil beneath the vegetables was collected before this world had been affected by radiation.

There was a large patch of land where new shoots had sprouted, and another patch of land which was already full of vegetables, potatoes, lettuce, eggplants, and so on. In this shed, it was covered above with tubes after transparent tubes of what resembled water pipes. Every once in a while, the pipes above would emit white light stimulating the vegetables below to grow rapidly.

There were no side effects to this method of hastened ripening. This was the technology left behind by the rich.

When both of them arrived at the plantation, the pipes above were emitting beams of white light. The white light shone on the vegetables below. Immediately, some of the vegetables, which had flowered, began to bear fruit at a rate visible to the naked eye. Under the influence of the white light, the seedlings also grew rapidly.

“City Lord! Look! It’s exactly the ripening period that happens once every three days, and many vegetables have ripened!” Chen Wei shouted happily.

In this world, due to the effects of radiation, the land could not grow crops. Therefore, food was also very important!

Luo En looked at everything happening in the plantation and could not help but feel amazed by the wonders of this world. He patted Chen Wei’s shoulder and nodded. “Very good! Take good care of the plantation and maximize its output!”

“Yes, City Lord! I will do my best to take care of the plantation! Rest assured, City Lord!” Chen Wei replied respectfully.

Luo En laughed happily, then turned and continued walking toward the ground.

It did not take long for Luo En to reach the ground.

The workers who were mining saw Luo En walking over and hurriedly said, “Greetings, City Lord!”

Luo En nodded and said, “Yes! You guys have worked hard! Press on! After you’re done, I’ll give you extra food! Zhang Bo, come here!”

“Yes!”

When everyone heard Luo En say that they would be getting extra food again, they couldn’t help but feel excited, and their hands moved faster.

“City Lord! Why did you summon me?” Zhang Bo stepped out from among the workers, came to Luo En’s side and said.

“What is the progress with mining?” Luo En asked Zhang Bo.

“City Lord, according to my computation, we have mined 46 tonnes of copper ore, 10 tonnes of iron ore, and 3 tonnes of silver ore! This… this is the most we’ve ever mined in Luo Yang Mobile City!”

“And there’s still a little bit left to be mined. If we add this, we can probably mine 52 tonnes of copper ore, 13 tonnes of iron ore, and 4 tonnes of silver ore! This… this is really a lot! Unbelievable!” Upon hearing, Luo En immediately started calculating. The more he calculated, the more surprised he became. His hands were trembling slightly as he replied excitedly.

“So much! That’s great! If we can mine more ores, we’ll be able to make new tracks.” Luo En calculated in his heart and said in amazement.

He would be able to obtain 38,200 Evolution Points just from this extraction, and would be only 11,800 Evolution Points away from making new tracks!

Seeing Luo En so happy, Zhang Bo continued cautiously, “City Lord, although we have mined a lot of ores this time, we have finished mining all the ores in this area. If we wish to continue mining, we can only go further away!”

Luo En pondered for a while and carefully weighed the pros and cons. Then, he said decisively, “Continue mining! Go further away for mining! But no matter what the mining outcome is, all of you have to return before dark. Otherwise, your safety cannot be guaranteed.”

“Yes, City Lord!” Zhang Bo felt a bit teary and choked back a sob as he replied.

He did not expect Luo En to be worried about their safety. In this world, the city lord of a mobile city was the emperor of the mobile city, and the emperor did not care about the lives of his subordinates, except for those close to him.

Luo En patted Zhang Bo’s shoulder and reassuringly said, “Work hard!”

“Yes!”

After replying, Zhang Bo turned to continue with, and began the final closing work..
