Devouring City: My Mobile Town Evolves Infinitely

“Hmm? This voice is coming from the dormitory building. Who is speaking?”

Wang Cheng, who was on the side, asked puzzledly.

“It’s me, Wang Yuan!”

A voice could be heard in the control room.

When Luo En heard the voice, he immediately clapped his hands and said, “That’s right. Didn’t we just buy Wang Yuan? He’s an advanced gunner.

“Bring Wang Yuan over!” he then added.

“No, City Lord! This Wang Yuan has just moved into our mobile city. We don’t know what is in his mind now. If he escapes, our losses will be huge!” Wang Cheng persuaded anxiously.

He knew that in order to buy Wang Yuan, Luo En had paid a huge price. Although advanced gunners were indeed scarce, had he not heard from the City Lord of the Red Brilliance City that Wang Yuan had already escaped from them more than once, causing them not to dare to use him anymore? Releasing him now after they had just bought him? If he were to escape later, the gains would not make up for the losses.

“It’s fine! I know what I’m doing. Just follow my orders!” Luo En replied coldly.

“Yes!”

Wang Cheng had no choice but to obey Luo En’s orders and take his leave respectfully.

As time elapsed, Luo En continued to steer the mobile city and avoid the giant turtle’s attacks. He also attacked it from time to time.

Soon, Wang Cheng came in with a man.

“City Lord! Wang Yuan is here!”

Wang Cheng said respectfully, and then stepped to the side.

“City Lord Luo!” Wang Yuan cupped his fist and said calmly to Luo En.

When Wang Cheng saw that Wang Yuan was actually so disrespectful to his City Lord, he immediately shouted, “Don’t be rude!”

Wang Yuan looked at Wang Cheng in disdain. Wang Cheng also glared at Wang Yuan angrily. The two of them looked at each other, neither giving in to the other.

Just as they were about to speak, Luo En interrupted the two of them. He looked at Wang Yuan and slowly said, “Alright, Wang Cheng. All the etiquette is not important. Tell me, can you take down that ore field?”

Wang Yuan ignored Wang Cheng and replied truthfully, “Yes!”

“Do you know the consequences of lying to me?” Luo En sat down again in his chair and leaned forward. He stared at Wang Yuan coldly as he spoke, exerting great pressure.

Wang Yuan was not intimidated by Luo En’s imposing stance. He replied calmly, “As an advanced gunner, I have the confidence and ability! If I can’t do it, I’ll let you do whatever you want!”

Originally, he had thought that as an advanced gunner, he would be given special treatment no matter which mobile city he was in. Therefore, he did not choose to offer himself at the beginning. He wanted to wait for Luo En to invite him personally, and then he would ask Luo En to give him special treatment.

But now, he realized that not only did Luo Yang Mobile City not treat him preferentially, they even ignored him. They simply let an advanced gunner stay in the dormitory and even locked him up. Even when facing the current problem, they had not let him out.

At that moment, his fantasy, his longing, were shattered in an instant, so he had no choice but to speak up personally in order to find an opportunity to showcase himself and make Luo En pay attention to him.

“Alright!”

Seeing Wang Yuan’s confidence in his words, Luo En nodded, and then added, “Wang Cheng!”

“I’m here!” Wang Cheng, who was at the side, stepped forward and said respectfully.

“Bring Wang Yuan to Wang Yu and have Wang Yu arrange something for him!” Luo En said as he lay back on his chair.

“Yes, City Lord!”

Wang Cheng came to Wang Yuan’s side and said impatiently, “Let’s go!”

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the door.

Wang Yuan did not care about Wang Cheng’s facial expression; he followed Wang Cheng out.

In the control room, Luo En swiped the big screen in front of him and images instantly appeared before his eyes.

The giant turtle, not far away from the city, was still roaring and attacking the Luo Yang Mobile City. The mutated bats in the air were also charging at the energy shield outside Luo Yang Mobile City, without any fear of death. The mutated bats could be blocked by the energy shield and would not pose any threat to Luo Yang Mobile City, but not the giant turtle.

Although the giant turtle was known for its strong defense, its attack was also very powerful, just not as remarkable as its defense. Therefore, Luo En had to control the mobile city to constantly dodge the giant turtle’s attacks.

If they were hit by the giant turtle, the energy shield outside the mobile city would be instantly shattered. By then, the dense mass of mutated bats outside the city would be unstoppable. They would charge into the mobile city like unleashed wild horses. After all, the energy shield was not complete. Its design blueprint was also incomplete. It could withstand the attacks by the mutated bats but not the attacks by the giant turtle.

At this moment, Wang Cheng was leading Wang Yuan towards the central area of the mobile city, where the cannon zone was located.

In the cannon zone, the gunners were sweating profusely as they busied themselves.

Soon, the two of them arrived at Wang Yu’s side.

“Wang Cheng, who’s this?” Wang Yu said in surprise when he saw Wang Cheng and Wang Yuan walking over.

Wang Cheng pointed at Wang Yuan who was looking around and said slowly, “The City Lord asked you to make arrangements for him. He can hit that ore field.”

“What? He can hit that ore field?”

“What a joke! Such a small piece of ore field, and it’s even when the giant turtle is moving, he can hit it?”

“Even our Captain Wang Yu doesn’t dare to say that he can hit it. If he can hit it, I’ll eat shit!”

Just after all the words had been spoken, everyone who was present looked at Wang Yuan. He was looking around as though he had never seen the world. Their eyes showed contempt as they all doubted.

Wang Yu’s face was also full of doubts. He immediately asked, “Wang Cheng, are you sure he can do it?”

“I know you guys don’t believe me. As an advanced gunner, there’s no need for me to explain anything to you guys. Whether I am able to do it or not, you’ll all know after I have given it a shot!” Wang Yuan replied confidently when doubted by Wang Yu and the others.

He had actually been observing the cannons around him and the energy shield. When he walked into the cannon zone, he was fascinated by the cannons before him. He realized that although the cannons before him were not very powerful, their design structure was very different from other cannons.

The unique design structure of the cannons before him could actually increase the accuracy of the gunners operating the cannons! A low-level gunner operating this type of cannons could even achieve the same level of accuracy as an intermediate gunner operating other types of cannons! Furthermore, each time a shell was fired, the amount of resources consumed was much lesser than other cannons, but the fire power was almost the same.

This had caused him to be shocked by his city lord’s means and wisdom. As such, he could not help but observe a while longer.

To everyone present, his behaviour was definitely like one who had never seen the world.

“Sure! Come here!” After hearing Wang Yuan’s confident words, Wang Yu pointed at the empty cannon beside him and said.

Wang Yuan came to the front of the cannon and touched the cannon, feeling the vibes given by the cannon. After a while, he said, “Alright, when do we fire?”

When everyone saw Wang Yuan’s strange actions, they were filled with doubts.

Wang Yu replied frankly, “Wait for the City Lord’s order!”

Hence, everyone began to wait. This scene was witnessed by Luo En, who was sitting in front of the big screen in the control room.

“There’s only one chance…” Luo En muttered, staring out at the giant turtle outside the city.

Although this ore field was useless to the giant turtle, the area where the ore field was located was the most vulnerable part of the giant turtle’s body. Therefore, once they launched an attack there and failed to knock down the ore field, the giant turtle would become wary and it would be even more difficult to continue attacking.

At this moment, the giant turtle outside the city was roaring continuously because it could not hit the tiny ant before it.

Soon, a large flipper swung again toward the Luo Yang Mobile City. Luo En was sitting in the control room, nervously holding onto the control sticks. When the flipper was about to come at the mobile city, Luo En quickly moved the control sticks and the mobile city immediately swerved to the side, dodging the giant turtle’s attack with ease.

“Now! Fire!” Luo En ordered as he picked up the walkie-talkie.

Wang Yu and the men in the cannon zone naturally had heard Luo En’s command as well. They immediately pressed the button, and the gears immediately turned, producing creaking sounds. Following that, a shell was loaded into the cannon in front of Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan aimed the muzzle of the cannon at the moving turtle’s right foot, lit the fire, and fired!

Boom!

A shell flew out from the muzzle of the cannon in front of him and headed towards the giant turtle’s right foot.

Everyone looked nervously at the shell in the air.

Success or failure depended on this!
