"This.."

Li Ye froze.


A Mobile City taking care of a 1,200-meter-long Emperor Beast was simply unheard of.


Seeing his expression, Mick casually placed both hands on his shoulders.


"Listen, Gairos is a rare Emperor Beast that’s friendly to humans. Over the past decades, it has made significant contributions to the human side,"he said."In a sense, it's a companion to humans. We need to take good care of it."


Li Ye nodded hesitantly.


Although this sounded like a complete fantasy, getting a World-class Monstrous Organization to owe a favor was always a good thing.


"I have three companions here as well. They’re all Level 2 Mobile Cities. Should I call them over to help?"he asked hesitantly.

Mick’s eyes lit up instantly upon hearing that.

"Of course! That would be fantastic!"


At that moment, Gairos lowered its head to look at Li Ye in front of it, then glanced at Tomorrow not far away and let out a deep hiss.


Mick immediately waved at it.


"Don’t worry, Gairos. These humans are not enemies. They’ll take good care of you."


"You’re not even using the Universal Monster Translator?"Li Ye asked in confusion."It understands what you're saying?"


"Of course!"Mick nodded."Gairos is extremely intelligent. It understands human speech, and both its hearing and vision are excellent."


Li Ye used the City Radio to call back Zhou Xing and the other two.


When the three of them saw the Emperor Beast lying on the coastline, they were all dumbfounded.


"How are we supposed to treat an Emperor Beast?"Zhou Xing was momentarily at a loss for words.


In response, Mick patted his own chest.


"Relax, just follow my lead."


Under the watchful eyes of the four, Mick ordered people to retrieve various items from the Adventurer.


A giant medical bandage over ten meters long.


Folded medical steel panels and braces that extended to forty or fifty meters when unfolded.


A sharp giant bone saw.


A giant syringe and several medical drugs, each several meters thick.


Blood bags and disinfectants the size of Water Towers,


A complete set of giant medical surgical instruments,


And a whole array of giant medical equipment.


All these items left Li Ye and the others utterly astonished.


Each piece bore a standard serial number and production date. Clearly, the Titan Throne was accustomed to treating Emperor Beasts.


Li Ye’s gaze landed on that complete set of giant medical surgical instruments.


"Hey, hey, Dr. Mick,"he said slowly,"you're not expecting us to perform emergency surgery on it, are you?"


Mick nodded naturally.


"Of course. Gairos was seriously hurt this time. It was viciously bitten in the abdomen by that other Emperor Beast, causing severe damage to its ribs and internal organs."


"With such severe injuries, a human would have died long ago. Only an Emperor Beast could withstand this."


"Now, we need to perform emergency surgery on Gairos as soon as possible."


Under Mick’s command, the four Level 2 Mobile Cities began operations.


Tomorrow used its crane to lift a container of disinfectant, connected its mechanical arm to the disinfectant, and began spraying the heavily scarred face of Gairos.


At first, Li Ye was a bit worried. After all, disinfectant stings when it touches wounds, and Emperor Beasts were often violent creatures.


There was no telling if Gairos would lash out at Tomorrow due to the intense pain.


But to his surprise, Gairos merely narrowed its amber vertical pupils and calmly glanced at the humans on Tomorrow’s armor deck.


For a brief moment, it locked eyes with Li Ye, who stood atop the armor deck.


Li Ye's breath momentarily caught.


For as long as one could remember, human emotions toward giant beasts had always been complex and multifaceted.


Fear, awe, fascination, and yearning—


These feelings, in fact, unconsciously mirrored humanity’s contemplation of its relationship with nature.


The colossal size and destructive power of giant beasts easily triggered an instinctive fear in humans for survival. Their presence resembled uncontrollable natural disasters, such as massive earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons.


But unlike nature, giant beasts could be contacted, interacted with—even communicated with.


At this moment, Li Ye seemed to briefly understand the perspective of the Titan Throne.


Gairos’ gaze did not waver, quietly remaining on Li Ye.


Only after a long while did this Emperor Beast finally close its eyes.


While Tomorrow sprayed disinfectant, Iron Whale was busy with a grueling task.


This Level 2 Mobile City was currently stationed at Gairos’ leg. Its task was to drive surgical steel pins into Gairos’ badly injured, barely usable left leg.


The steel pins were dozens of meters long and so sharp they were shocking to behold.


The bones of the Emperor Beast were unimaginably hard. Just relying on the mechanical arms and Work Claws from the armor deck wasn’t enough to drive them in.


But there was a way.


That was using the Mobile City itself as a hammer—pulling back to gain momentum, then ramming the steel pin with precision using sheer impact force, embedding it into Gairos’ hind leg bone for stabilization.


Following Mick’s instructions, Iron Whale pulled back, accelerated gradually, and finally rammed the pinned steel rod into the precise location.


With a muffled thud, the steel pin was driven into Gairos’ hind leg bone instantly.


Fang Yong glanced at Gairos, cold sweat trickling down his back. This was far more painful than spraying disinfectant on a wound. He genuinely feared that Gairos might suddenly go berserk and attack Iron Whale.


Right now, Gairos’ massive tail was right beside them. From its appearance alone, it was clear how powerful it was. A single blow from it could likely dismantle Iron Whale instantly.


However, Gairos remained still, lying quietly on the ground.


"Relax. Gairos is a born warrior. Its tolerance for pain is beyond imagination."


Mick’s voice came through the Walkie-Talkie.


"By the way, you don’t need to be so nervous. It knows you’re here to help. It won’t attack."


As if agreeing with Mick, Gairos’ thick, long tail gave a gentle wag.


Li Ye’s expression shifted slightly upon seeing that.


Bear in mind, Iron Whale was several hundred meters away from Gairos’ head, and Mick’s voice through the Walkie-Talkie wasn’t particularly loud. Yet Gairos could still hear and respond.


Just what level of hearing was that?


One had to admit, Emperor Beasts were simply outrageous!


Fang Yong breathed a sigh of relief and continued directing Iron Whale’s work.


To stabilize Gairos’ leg, he needed to drive in seven steel pins.


Engineer and Peacemaker weren’t idle either.


These two Level 2 Mobile Cities were tasked with treating Gairos’ two wounded forepaws—cleaning the wounds, disinfecting, bandaging, and then administering fluids and blood transfusions.


Gairos’ right paw was seriously injured—distorted bone was visible. It needed to be braced with clamps.


"Let’s start with its left paw,"Zhou Xing said, wiping the sweat from his forehead."By the way, I wonder if Engineer’s crane can even lift that paw."


Just as he finished speaking, Gairos slowly raised its paw.


Stunned for a moment, the two of them immediately got to work.


Engineer’s mechanical arm activated on the armor deck, slowly approaching Gairos’ massive paw and began cleaning the wound.


Peacemaker was in charge of connecting the mechanical arm to disinfectant and spraying the wound.


Tomorrow also drove over to assist.


With the joint effort of the three Level 2 Mobile Cities, Gairos’ two forepaws were cleaned, disinfected, and wrapped in giant bandages.


Next, Tomorrow and Engineer worked together to attach giant Medical Clamps to Gairos’ paws. Peacemaker served as the IV rack.


As its crane slowly activated, a giant blood bag and a giant medical drug pouch were gently hoisted upward.


Engineer then operated the giant syringe with infusion tubes, carefully inserting the needle into Gairos’ vein.


With both needles inserted, the infusion process officially began.


最⊥新⊥小⊥說⊥在⊥⊥⊥首⊥發!


On the other side, Iron Whale also completed the task of driving in the bone pins.


"Not bad, not bad! Everyone did quite well!"


Applause came from Mick through the Walkie-Talkie.


"So that means our task is done, right?"Yang Zheng asked.


"Not yet,"Mick replied."You still have one last task, and it’s the most important one: performing internal surgery on Gairos."


Under the bite of that other Emperor Beast, Gairos’ abdomen was severely damaged—multiple internal organs were injured, and ribs were broken.


What the Tomorrow Alliance needed to do was use a Bone Saw and a series of giant medical instruments to remove the damaged and diseased organs, suture the wounds, and extract the broken ribs.


As Li Ye and the others listened, their faces instantly turned pale.


"Don’t panic, everyone. From now on, just follow my instructions,"Mick reassured.


After calming down, Tomorrow, Iron Whale, and Engineer began to move.


Peacemaker couldn’t help at the moment, as it was still serving as a temporary IV stand.


As the three Mobile Cities rolled over carrying various surgical tools, Gairos willingly turned to reveal its abdomen.


The first step for Li Ye and the others was to anesthetize Gairos.


Engineer’s mechanical arm connected to a tube of Giant Anesthetic and sprayed it toward Gairos’ mouth and nose.


At the same time, Tomorrow administered a special Neural Inhibitor crafted by the Titan Throne through intravenous injection into Gairos’ veins.


Gairos still showed little movement, merely closing its eyes slowly.


To facilitate the Mobile Cities’ operations, Mick brought out a certain item from Adventurer.


It was, unmistakably, a piece of Giant Medical Equipment.


Through the equipment’s screen, Li Ye and the others could clearly see the internal condition of Gairos’ body.


On the left side of its chest cavity, three ribs were broken—one of which had pierced into the lung lobe, causing internal bleeding.


The lower left part of the lung lobe had already become necrotic due to prolonged neglect and needed to be removed.


Iron Whale carefully maneuvered the Giant Bone Saw to open Gairos’ abdomen.


Engineer operated the Giant Surgical Blade and cautiously excised the necrotic section bit by bit.


Tomorrow installed a Giant Artificial Bladder inside Gairos to temporarily perform lung functions and injected a special Stem Cell Culture Solution from the Titan Throne to promote tissue regeneration.


Following this came wound suturing and rib extraction.


As the Internal Surgery was completed, the three Mobile Cities used mechanical arms to control the Medical Sutures and stitched up Gairos’ abdomen.


After completing all this, Li Ye and the others were soaked in sweat.


It had to be said—performing Internal Surgery on an Emperor Beast was truly a monumental challenge.


"You all did fantastic,"Mick praised.


Gairos then withdrew its abdomen and returned to a prone position.


It opened its enormous vertical pupil eyes, looked at the Mobile Cities in front of it, and let out a soft growl.


"What does that mean?"Fang Yong asked.


"Gairos is thanking you for your help. It will remember you as human friends,"Mick explained.


Li Ye nodded and wiped the sweat off his forehead.


He looked up at Gairos before him. At this moment, the Emperor Beast lay quietly on the ground, its entire body wrapped in white Giant Bandages, its left paw braced with Armor Plating—looking just like a giant patient.


"So that’s it then, right?"Fang Yong asked in relief.


But Mick shook his head.


"Actually, not quite."


"What?!"


"You see, Gairos suffered severe injuries and just underwent surgery. It’ll need to lie still for the next few days to recover,"Mick explained."During this period, it needs large quantities of food. And that, of course, is your responsibility to provide."


The four of them stared silently at the 1,200-meter-long Emperor Beast before them.


Zhou Xing murmured,


"Then Dr. Mick, what does it usually eat?"


As one of the world’s top predators, the Emperor Beast had a highly diverse diet.


In addition to its usual intake of meat, it also consumed Iron Ore, Coal, Saltpeter, and even Magma.


Its immensely powerful digestive system enabled it to eat virtually anything.


After checking Tomorrow’s food storage, Li Ye silently shook his head.


Though Tomorrow carried plenty of fruits and vegetables, they were nowhere near enough to make even a single meal for Gairos.


Currently, the Tomorrow Alliance had mined a significant quantity of Coal, Iron Ore, and Saltpeter in the Valley Zone—amounting to five-digit figures.


But using those to feed Gairos would be far too wasteful.


"How about we head out to sea and catch some fish for it?"Zhou Xing suggested.


No sooner said than done—Engineer deployed its Fishing Boats onto the ocean and sent them out for a catch.


Not only that, it also began Waterborne Driving Modifications for itself, Tomorrow, and Iron Whale.


The reason for this was that Mobile Cities could go to sea and fish as well.


In a way, Mobile Cities were essentially Giant Fishing Boats.


Iron Whale possessed the Level 1 Fishing Net Production Item, which required 150 units of Iron Ore and 200 units of Fabric to manufacture.


The fishing nets used by Mobile Cities were not traditional woven nets. Instead, they were mechanical nets constructed from Steel Cables, Brass Hinges, and powered by Steam-driven mechanisms, rivaling small towns in scale.


Their net openings spanned between 300 to 500 meters, capable of covering entire densely populated fish zones.


The nets used tiered trawl netting that could reach depths of up to 1,000 meters, driven and adjusted by steam winches.


In addition, they were equipped with cables, floats, sinkers, and other attachments.


A few hours later, the three Level 2 Mobile Cities completed their Waterborne Driving Modifications and were fitted with Level 1 Fishing Nets, then set off toward the sea.
