Just when Luo En was resting and the workers were mining the ores, about ten kilometers away from the mountain range, a black mobile city shaped like a dragon, and about the same size as the mobile city Luo En was in, was rushing straight toward the mountain range.
On top of the mobile city was a raised flag with the words “Black Dragon Mobile City” engraved; the words “Black Dragon” were indeed befitting.
The Black Dragon Mobile City seemed to be slightly larger than the mobile city that Luo En was in, but it was not as big as the White Tremor Mobile City. The number of cannons on its caterpillar tracks was also more than the mobile city that Luo En was in. It was obvious that the Black Dragon Mobile City was developing toward becoming a medium mobile city.
“City Lord! Are we just going to let this go? The White Tremor Mobile City has gone too far!”
“That’s right, City Lord! Those were the ores that we had painstakingly mined!”
“I’m unwilling to just leave like this!”
At this moment, on the square inside the Black Dragon Mobile City, several men were speaking anxiously to a tall and sturdy man in front of them.
The tall and sturdy man was the City Lord of the Black Dragon Mobile City, Hei Long!
Hei Long’s expression was that of extreme agony as he clenched his fists tightly. He turned around and yelled at the people below, “Damn it! Do you think I am willing to do so?! Do you think I want to give up the ores that we have painstakingly mined? But can we defeat White Tremor Mobile City? Ah! Tell me, how can we fight?!”
Everyone below fell silent. Indeed, how could a small mobile city defeat a medium mobile city?
The matter started a month ago. At that time, Black Dragon Mobile City was struggling in its search for ores. After spending more than ten days, Black Dragon Mobile City finally found a site.
Everyone was overjoyed.
Hei Long and his men immediately began mining.
It took Hei Long and his men eight full days to finish mining all the ores from the site.
However, the good fortune did not last long. Just as Hei Long and his men were happily preparing to leave, they encountered the approaching White Tremor Mobile City!
This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. The weak could only be oppressed and exploited by the strong!
The White Tremor Mobile City, upon encountering the Black Dragon Mobile City, immediately went forward and fought. After fighting for ten minutes or more, Black Dragon Mobile City was defeated.
Following some interrogation, White Tremor Mobile City found out that Hei Long and his men had just mined a large amount of ores.
In this world, ores were everything! Without hesitation, the City Lord of White Tremor Mobile City, Bai Chen, plundered all the ores that Hei Long and his men had just mined. Although Hei Long and his men were unwilling, they had no choice. After all, they were the defeated party.
After Bai Chen and his men had obtained the large amount of ores, they were so elated that they could not stop laughing. They happily let Hei Long and the others off happily.
Thus, Hei Long and his men escaped.
Back to Hei Long’s side, everyone kept silent and looked ahead with a gloomy expression.
After Black Dragon Mobile City had advanced for a while, the mountain range that Luo En was in gradually came within the line of sight of Hei Long and the others. At this moment, a man pointed ahead and said, “City Lord! There’s a small mountain range in front! Let’s rest over there and continue mining ore while there. The resources in the mountain range are more abundant.”
Upon hearing this, Hei Long also looked in the direction the man had pointed. When he saw the mountain range, he said tiredly, “Alright! Let’s rest there!”
After receiving the order, the man immediately held up the walkie-talkie in his hand and shouted, “Everyone, listen up! Stop at the mountain range in the southwest direction!”
With that said, the man turned and left to make preparations for ore mining.
Black Dragon Mobile City moved rapidly at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour towards the mountain range.
Not long after, the Black Dragon Mobile City arrived at the mountain range and stopped.
Just after the Black Dragon Mobile City had come to a stop, dozens of people walked down from the city, and carried with them two small detectors which were a bit old.
After setting the positions for the two small detectors, a person pressed the power buttons. Immediately, the detectors buzzed and began to probe. The workers did the same as the workers in the mobile city where Luo En was; whenever an alarm sounded, there would be workers sprinkling yellow powder as a mark.
Then, there would be workers who would come to the marked location to begin mining. Then, they would transport the mined ores into the mobile city. The entire process was smooth flowing.
As Hei Long and his men saw the ores being continuously mined and transported into the mobile city, they became cheerful despite the earlier unhappiness in their hearts caused by White Tremor Mobile City. After all, who would not be happy with ores?
Yet, what was happening here was being watched by Wang Yun who had come out to patrol.
“I didn’t expect Black Dragon Mobile City to actually be here… This mobile city is much stronger than Luo Yang Mobile City! If…” Wang Yun muttered as he looked at everything that was happening before him. Immediately, a glimmer appeared in his eyes, and he suddenly smiled.
Then, Wang Yun walked over towards Hei Long and his men.
When Hei Long saw someone walking over, he immediately pulled out the pistol from his waist and aimed it at the person, asking “Who are you?”
Several people beside also surrounded him.
Wang Yun did not panic in the slightest. He said with a smile, “Don’t worry! There’s no one behind me. I don’t mean any harm!”
As he spoke, in order to gain trust, Wang Yun took out the pistol from his waist, placed it on the ground and raised his hands.
Someone immediately went up to search Wang Yun’s body and also took the pistol from the ground.
When Hei Long saw Wang Yun’s actions, he also put away his gun. He was filled with suspicion as he asked, “Then why are you here? From your appearance, you must be a high-ranking person from a mobile city!”
Wang Yun smiled and said, “That’s right. I’m the commander of Luo Yang Mobile City! My name is Wang Yun. I came here to negotiate a deal with you!”
Hei Long replied in surprise, “Oh? So it’s Commander Wang of Luo Yang Mobile City. What deal? Tell me!”
Wang Yun continued, “Our Luo Yang Mobile City is also in this mountain range and not far away. I see that the detectors you’re using to mine ores are some years old!”
Hei Long became rather displeased and said, “So what if they are?!”
Wang Yun smiled and replied, “Don’t worry! I have a way to make new detectors for you!”
Hei Long looked at Wang Yun as if he were looking at a fool. He pointed at Wang Yun and cursed, “What? Are you fucking kidding me! Do you think I don’t know that the blueprints of detectors are monopolized by the large mobile cities? You have a way to make new detectors? Ridiculous!”
Wang Yun knew that no one would believe him if he said that. Hence, he had made preparations.
“Don’t be in a hurry to dismiss it. Take a look at what this is!” As he spoke, Wang Yun took out something that looked like a small ball.
After Wang Yun pressed the ball twice, the ball projected an image. It showed the scene of Zhang Bo and the others mining ores. There were five small detectors in the image.
This was something called a recording ball. As the name suggested, as long as the recording ball was activated, the recording ball would record everything that was happening in front of it and save it. The next time the recording ball was activated, the scene would be projected.
Apparently, Wang Yun had already recorded the scene of the ore mining taking place below the mobile city when he was there.
Hei Long was very envious when he saw the projected image of the five small detectors mining ores. However, he still could not understand what the deal Wang Yun mentioned meant.
Hei Long asked curiously, “What do you mean? Which large mobile city is this?”
“No, no, no! This is our Luo Yang Mobile City! These five small detectors are also from our Luo Yang Mobile City!” Wang Yun replied calmly.
“How is this possible? Where did your mobile city get the blueprints from?” Hei Long exclaimed in shock.
Hearing this, Wang Yun replied seriously, “If you don’t believe me, I can show you! I can help you get the design blueprints for the detectors!”
Hei Long looked at Wang Yun’s stern expression and believed his words. Then, he asked, “Tell me! How much do I need to pay?”
“I only need your Black Dragon Mobile City to attack our Luo Yang Mobile City and help me become the City Lord!” Wang Yun replied coldly.
Hei Long pondered for a moment before saying decisively, “Good! This deal is worth it! I accept it!”
“Hahahaha, Hei Long is indeed straightforward! I wish us a pleasant cooperation then!”
“Happy cooperation!”
The two men shook hands and laughed happily..
