As usual, Li Ye arrived at the Watchtower.

Every morning when he woke up, he would usually go up to the Watchtower and pick up the Binoculars to survey the distant surroundings.

At this time, Lin Xia and another girl were also present.

The latter immediately greeted him nervously upon seeing the Lord come up, then tactfully left.

"Isn't today your rest rotation? Why are you still here?" Li Ye approached Lin Xia.

Lin Xia gave a light smile, stretched her arms long in a lazy pose, and the young girl's graceful figure was fully revealed.

"I already had a good rest last night."

As she spoke, she squinted slightly to feel the breeze brushing against her, and waved her hand gently.

"Didn't expect life on the Mobile City to be surprisingly pleasant."

Li Ye nodded lightly.

In the post-apocalyptic Wasteland, Mobile Cities were a special kind of romance for the Survivors.

They allowed one to wander together with family and friends, traveling to new places, meeting new people and things—it was like a moving hometown.

He was about to say something, but saw Lin Xia tilt her head and look at him.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"Didn't the Tomorrow just acquire two Level 1 Sniper Rifles? I want one," Lin Xia spoke hesitantly. "Is that okay?"

Li Ye nodded.

"As long as you can use it."

Then he looked thoughtfully toward the Watchtower beneath him.

This position had the best view.

Mounting a Sniper Rifle here would be unexpectedly ideal.

After descending from the Watchtower, he began inspecting the mid-level fields.

The freshly matured Blueheart Potatoes and Morning Wheat had already been harvested, and the ordinary residents were sowing a new batch of crop seeds.

Besides Blueheart Potatoes and Morning Wheat, there were also some newly acquired Crystal Cabbage, Rainbow Tomatoes, Dragon Breath Peppers, and Windsong Rice. But due to limited space, only a small amount could be planted.

As for Exotic Oranges, they were sown on the upper level of the Tomorrow, together with the previously planted Sunshine Apple Trees.

On the deck, Old Zhou, having finished his patrol, began training the newly selected combat personnel.

Considering that another great battle might erupt in the future, Li Ye had specially selected an additional forty combat personnel this time.

It had to be said—population was the most important resource for a Mobile City.

Whether it was combat personnel or the ordinary residents engaged in work.

Population, unlike coal or iron ore, did not grow in the wild. Just relying on natural reproduction, it would take a good ten or twenty years to raise a young adult.

Hence, Mobile Cities usually increased their population through external recruitment.

As the Lord, Li Ye also had to consider mediating conflicts between long-time residents and newcomers.

Halfway along the path, a thought occurred to Li Ye.

"This Legendary Intelligence should be refreshing soon, right?"

With excitement in his heart, he slowly opened the System Panel.

The Legendary Intelligence had already been refreshed.

[7. In the future, a Temple of the Wasteland God buried tens of thousands of meters underground will emerge. The entire Wasteland Zone will be completely destroyed. Currently, there are 132 Ancient Suppression Devices scattered throughout the Wasteland Zone. Locate and repair these Suppression Devices to temporarily suppress the Temple and preserve the Wasteland Zone. Temple Zone Level: ? (Intelligence Value: Legendary)]

Upon seeing the content, Li Ye's expression changed slightly.

So this was the reason for the destruction of the Wasteland Zone.

And as long as those 132 Ancient Suppression Devices were found, the Temple could be suppressed and the Wasteland Zone preserved.

But this was simply impossible.

No one knew where these 132 Ancient Suppression Devices were, let alone how to repair them.

To achieve this, one would have to gather the entire human strength of the Wasteland Zone to search all over for these Ancient Suppression Devices and repair them.

But no matter how one looked at it, this was an impossible task.

Tomorrow was only a Level 1 Mobile City, fundamentally lacking such influence.

"It seems the destruction of the Wasteland Zone is inevitable."Li Ye let out a sigh.

After refreshing the final piece of intelligence, the system began its cooldown as usual.

When dawn of a new day arrived, Tomorrow finally drove out of the Giant Forest.

What appeared before everyone now was an immensely vast freshwater lake, its surface stretching to the horizon, meeting the distant skyline.

The lake surface was like a mirror, reflecting the morning light, with the sky and the water merging into one.

Li Ye was a little surprised.

He had originally thought he still had a week's journey left in the forest, but unexpectedly exited so quickly.

"Since that's the case, Tomorrow must temporarily be refitted for water navigation mode."he muttered to himself.

Yes, a Mobile City could navigate on water like a ship.

The prerequisite was that it needed to be equipped with a hull, as well as fitted with an anchor, propeller, thruster, sail, and other related waterborne city accessories.

Li Ye then opened the System Panel.

In the project list of each Mobile City's Production Workshop, these basic water navigation city accessories were available.

【Hull (Normal): Costs 200 units of Iron Ore to manufacture】

【Anchor (Normal): Costs 50 units of Iron Ore to manufacture】

【Propeller (Normal): Costs 150 units of Iron Ore to manufacture】

【Thruster (Normal): Costs 100 units of Iron Ore to manufacture】

【Sail (Normal): Costs 50 units of Wood and 100 units of Cloth to manufacture】

As these city accessories were of normal grade, they only provided basic functionality without any additional effects.

Li Ye then took out a list from his chest—this was the inventory of Tomorrow just compiled by his deputy, Lin Wu.

【1048 units of Iron Ore, 2460 units of Coal, 1568 units of Fuel, 1098 units of Saltpeter, 842 units of Gunpowder, 1710 units of Cloth, 3012 units of Wood】

【3312 units of Freshwater】

【997 units of Copper Ore, 197 units of Silver Ore】

【48691 units of Crystal Coins】

【1000 units of City Alloy】

【Rare Ores: 51】

He then used the Production Workshop to craft these city accessories and instructed Lin Wu to arrange personnel to begin refitting Tomorrow.

Amidst a heavy rumble, Tomorrow’s thick treads and tires were gradually retracted and folded into the containment bay.

The Multifunctional Mechanical Arms activated, sequentially fitting the newly produced steel plates beneath Tomorrow, assembling them into a streamlined hull and beginning the welding process.

On the deck, everyone worked together to raise the massive sail.

Then came the installation of the anchor, thruster, propeller...

Due to the large number of personnel on Tomorrow and the assistance of Mechanical Arms and cranes, the refitting process was completed within two to three hours.

The final task was applying thick sealant beneath the hull to form a sturdy waterproof layer.

With this last task completed, Li Ye nodded and then waved his hand.

"Begin water entry!"

With its center of gravity shifting forward, Tomorrow gradually slid into the water, ultimately stirring up towering waves.

As the thruster activated and the turbine blades began to rotate, the Mobile City started navigating over water.

"We did it!"

The crowd on the deck erupted in cheers.

Li Ye also nodded slightly.

Now, Tomorrow would begin exploring this great lake, which occupied 20% of the area.
