Chapter 373 The Highest Level Dawn City
At 10:6 AM on June 11th, after two days of arduous effort, Li Chenglong finally managed to relocate all the residents living in Dawn City. All belongings were also stored away using storage capsules by personnel from various departments. Dawn City was now completely deserted. This was done because Lilith had told Li Chenglong that the upcoming upgrade of Dawn City would involve relocation to accommodate the expanded area.
So, over the past few days, Dawn City and the Dawn Army have been working door-to-door, and Dawn TV has been broadcasting announcements all day long. Finally, they managed to temporarily relocate the more than 20 residents of Dawn City. Currently, Dawn City has 20 ordinary residents, bringing the total population to 27. This is why Li Chenglong is so eager for Dawn City to be upgraded; it's because the 900 square kilometers of Dawn City are truly becoming increasingly strained.
If it were just for people to live in, such a large area could house a million people without any problem. However, there are also the Dawn Army's base, Industrial Zone 1 and Industrial Zone 2, military airport, civilian airport, Rocket Force base and training grounds, etc., all of which take up a lot of space.
李成龙抱着云岚，使用次元穿梭来到了曙光大楼8楼的中心信息管理区。莉莉丝已经在那里等着了。莉莉丝笑着说：“目前曙光城9级和以上的异能者已经有2001人，而绑定的李成龙和云岚也都到了12级，那么你们有100枚11级晶石了吗？”
With a thought, Yun Lan conjured 100 dazzling golden level 11 crystals on the table. Lilith nodded: "Please confirm whether you want to upgrade Dawn City to level 4, the highest level." Li Chenglong and Yun Lan exchanged a glance and said in unison: "Confirm upgrade."
Instantly, 100 level 11 crystals flew up and entered Lilith's body one by one. Dawn City also sounded its alarm. Five minutes later, to the astonishment of over 200,000 people, the earth began to tremble, and Dawn City slowly began to rise. The thick ground was also lifted up as Dawn City ascended.
The ascent was slow, only about 10 centimeters per minute. As Dawn City rose slowly, the city walls emitted bursts of golden light, but it wasn't dazzling. An hour later, Dawn City had reached a height of 10 meters above the ground. Then, several loud alarms sounded, and it slowly flew westward.
However, the flight speed was very slow, and people could easily keep up on foot. But as time went by, the flight speed in Dawn City increased, and gradually, apart from those with superpowers, ordinary people could not keep up even if they ran.
After a two-hour flight, Dawn City gradually came to a stop and then began a slow descent. At 3 p.m., Dawn City gently landed on the ground. There was no earthquake as Li Chenglong had predicted; there were only some slight tremors.
The moment Dawn City landed, a golden beam of light shot from the Dawn Tower into the sky, reaching into space and resonating with the distant Sky City. Then, centered on the Dawn Tower, streams of energy spread outwards, and the city walls began to expand in all directions.
To ensure sufficient materials for the construction of the city walls, Li Chenglong selected all the surrounding towns that had already been cleared out as material-gathering sites. One by one, the buildings in those areas vanished into thin air, and the walls of Dawn City began to expand rapidly outwards. The Eagle reconnaissance aircraft, responsible for surveillance high in the sky, was reporting the situation in real time to Li Chenglong, who then learned that all man-made structures in the towns selected for material gathering had completely disappeared, restoring the land to its original state.
Five hours later, Li Chenglong and Yun Lan arrived at the military headquarters to have dinner. As per his original plan, to avoid any danger, neither the residents of Dawn City nor the Dawn Army moved much. Dinner was distributed at a temporary distribution point, where residents could collect food and drinking water by presenting their identification cards. Tents were also available for the night.
Li Xue looked at the dazzling golden pillar of light in the distance and asked, "Brother, when will Dawn City be fully upgraded?" Li Chenglong, while feeding Li Yunhao, said, "According to Lilith, it should be tomorrow morning. Hang in there tonight, and tomorrow morning Yunlan, the special forces, and I will go there first." He originally wanted to take out the command vehicle so that his wife, children, father-in-law, mother-in-law, Xue'er, Xiaoling, and others could sleep in it, but Yunlan thought it wasn't appropriate for everyone else to sleep in tents while their family slept in the command vehicle, so they didn't do it.
Li Chenglong didn't go to sleep until 2 a.m. He didn't sleep in the tent, but spread something out in the open and slept on the ground. Two hours later, Wang Shuang and Wu Ruilan came over to wake him, but before they got close, they saw that Li Chenglong had already opened his eyes and heard him say with a smile, "It should be done. Is the special forces team assembled? Come with me."
Forty-one people ran towards Dawn City. Although it was a run, since the lowest level among them was level 10 ability users, their speed was not slow at all. The gates of Dawn City were closed, but Li Chenglong used his voice to open them and then walked in with the others. To their surprise, they found that the buildings near the gate had vanished without a trace, leaving only flat ground and roads paved with a special alloy.
The group hurried along the road and soon saw the towering Dawn Building, or rather, the Dawn Tower, with a pillar of light at its top, reaching into the clouds. Yang Liu exclaimed in surprise as they walked, "How much taller has the Dawn Building become? It looks truly magnificent!" After half an hour of rapid progress, they finally saw the building that had been at the main gate. Yang Liu calculated and said, "I estimated the distance; I think Dawn City has expanded at least seven or eight times."
The group finally arrived at the Dawn Tower. Wang Shuang turned off the instrument in her hand: "Team Leader Li, if the Dawn Tower is still in the very center of Dawn City, then we can calculate that the current area of Dawn City is 9000 square kilometers." "What? 9000 square kilometers!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Before Li Chenglong could speak, Lilith had already walked out of the main entrance of Dawn Tower. Dawn City had been upgraded to the highest level, and she could now leave the 8th floor and even move freely within Dawn City. Lilith smiled and said, "Let me be your tour guide for Dawn Tower. Please follow me."
As Lilith walked, she said, "The Dawn Tower is currently 180 meters tall, with 30 meters at the top. Within its 150-meter usable height, there are 30 floors. The Dawn Tower has eight elevators on the left, middle, and right sides, and to meet the needs of different people, staircases have been specially installed next to the elevators on the left and right sides. Now, I will give you a brief introduction to each floor."
Lily led Li Chenglong and the special forces team up the tower floor by floor, providing a brief tour and introduction at each level. Li Chenglong also took notes, making sure he could plan each floor's layout later. It took them two hours to finally reach the first floor of the Dawn Tower.
Li Chenglong instructed, "Yang Liu, you and half of the special forces members go back first. The crystal network is temporarily unusable, and the crystal phones can't make calls, so you'll have to make the trip. Just tell everyone to stick to the original plan. After you get back to Dawn City, go home first. We'll talk about the rest later."
Yang Liu and the others saluted in unison, then retrieved their vehicles from their storage capsules and drove away. Li Chenglong, meanwhile, began reading the Dawn City Handbook that Lilith had given him.
A level 4 Dawn City (the highest level) is a square city with sides of 300km and a total area of 9000 square kilometers. It has four main entrances and four secondary entrances. The walls of Dawn City are 4 meters thick, and their strength varies depending on the materials used in their construction. Every 500 meters along the walls, there is a 6m x 6m room similar to a beacon tower, which can be used to store weapons or provide a place for soldiers to rest.
The manual was very thick, and Li Chenglong only glanced at a little bit. One thing he noticed was that Dawn City had moved inland a bit and was now 100km from the nearest coast. He was quite pleased about this, as it meant that even if sea monsters attacked, they would have more time to react.
