Wasteland Development Diary

Emerald City, Room 3101.

Zhou Yi examined the small plastic box in his hand. The stressor inside was sealed by Da Vinci with a gel to prevent it from corroding or失效 upon contact with the external environment.

[Radio] is on 24/7.

But for the better part of the day, no sound was heard.

Zhou Yi connected to Baili Gong: "How much do you know about the Celestials?"

"I only know that the Celestials are few in number, and they are always looking for something after they descend... Only the Black Emperor may know the specifics."

Baili Gong said, "They seem to like vulnerable groups. There have been stories of Celestials helping humans since a long time ago. The name 'Celestial' was also given by humans."

Zhou Yi thought to himself.

One of the things the Celestials are looking for is Xinqiu, and then the Streamwalkers.

Their favor towards humans is of unknown origin.

Red Falcon is leading a team to Recursive City in the Poseidon. To facilitate communication, its drone本体 is also going along. Now there's only remote contact.

Zhou Yi could only say to the remote control: "Check the Celestials."

Two seconds later.

Text appeared on the screen.

——According to relevant procedures and protocols, some search results have not been displayed.

Red Falcon also gave an explanation.

——This is sensitive information that has been kept confidential and is not for external release.

Zhou Yi immediately realized that the strength of the Celestials was even greater than expected.

They are not just shadow nobles standing behind the Heavenly Kingdom, their influence also extends to each of the mechanical and electrical cities, to the point where they have all turned it into sensitive information.

Since I can't find anything, I'll do what I can first.

He turned on mind synchronization and sensed that the scavenging team was resting outside Emerald City.

The summoned Weapon Master came running all the way.

"Leader, Xie Xun reports to you."

Zhou Yi led it all the way into the Dead Sea, heading to the nearest uninhabited residential area. Although a large amount of supplies had been moved away and many houses had been demolished, there were still many mobile phones left, which had not been collected before.

Along the way, he asked about the scavenging team's recent situation.

Xie Xun said, "Leader, the team is running well. We are moving south all the way, and about half a day's journey to the south, we found many Dead Sea houses, they are close together."

"We collected a lot of gold, silver, and宝石... Those things were all placed in glass cabinets indoors. We collected them and handed them over to Mr. Gong Zheng."

"In glass cabinets?"

"Yes, a lot of glass."

Zhou Yi understood.

They found a jewelry store.

With a jewelry store and many houses, it's probably a street.

Zhou Yi noticed that Xie Xun was wearing a stiff black outer armor that looked like a raincoat, completely woven from numerous black strips of material horizontally and vertically.

He pinched the raincoat armor, and it felt like hard plastic.

"Is this an outer armor made of 甲蟊?"

"Yes, Chairman."

Xie Xun poked the armor with its claws: "Sea Horse Archers can't penetrate it, and Long-necked Crocodiles don't dare to attack us easily, which has greatly helped our work."

"It's just that there are not enough 甲蟊 now, so we can only barely equip the scavenging team. A Jin thinks it's too heavy and doesn't wear it. 阿峰大人 has begun to breed 甲蟊 on a large scale to increase their numbers."

Zhou Yi found that Xie Xun's ability to express himself was much stronger than before.

It seems that communication also depends on experience and proficiency.

"Are there any difficulties?"

"We haven't encountered any trouble, most of which we can solve ourselves, but... there is one thing."

It hesitated.

"Tell me, I will solve anything I can for you."

"It's just... wine, beer, is delicious."

Xie Xun said cautiously: "Everyone liked it very much after drinking it last time... and has been missing it."

"That wonderful, light飘飘 feeling is very comfortable and relaxing, as if the shells all over the body have flown up, and it feels like being omnipotent."

Zhou Yi was stunned.

The Weapon Master actually likes to drink.

He thought for a while: "Since you like it, each scavenging team member can領 a can of beer from Gong Zheng every month. But the premise is that there is stock."

"Great, Chairman is great! Thank you, Chairman!"

Xie Xun waved its claws excitedly.

Zhou Yi and Xie Xun walked and talked, and came to the uninhabited residential area again.

There were two relatively intact residential buildings here. Zhou Yi walked into the house on the left on the first floor, and there was a touch-screen mobile phone on the coffee table inside.

He picked it up and looked at it, but it could not be turned on at all.

[Radio] collected it.

Then Zhou Yi searched the three rooms of the entire house and found an old man's phone.

I don't know if this old model will work.

He tried feeding it to the combat species.

It can also be collected.

Zhou Yi began to search door to door.

After feeding a total of 16 mobile phones, [Radio] became (3/3).

A new channel has been added.

Zhou Yi switched to channel 3, but there was constant noise inside. He listened for more than ten minutes and only felt a headache.

But when he narrowed the receiving area and focused on the plastic box containing the stressor in his hand.

The noise suddenly disappeared.

Then Zhou Yi heard a strange voice that was clear and crisp.

"45, 44, 43..."

I don't know who is counting down.

The most⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥in⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥吧⊥⊥首⊥send!

"1."

The voice said: "Return is on."

Then it returned to silence.

Celestial Return?

It seems that this is abandoning the body and returning to their original place.

This time there was no dialogue, more like a one-sided notification.

The new channel collected content that had not been heard before.

Zhou Yi continued to collect mobile phones.

He checked the rooms one by one, and finally found 141 mobile phones in the entire residential area and fed them all to the combat species.

However, [Radio] did not generate a new channel.

Zhou Yi had no choice but to put this matter on hold for the time being and return to Emerald City with Xie Xun.

……

Two days passed like this.

The radio did not collect any new sounds.

Red Falcon also did not return for a long time, saying that it had encountered a bit of a procedural problem and needed to further negotiate with Recursive City.

"There is no precedent for bone fish delivery before. Although the company has a B-level credit rating, they need biologists in the mechanical and electrical life to make a formal appraisal to confirm whether our bone fish have basic work ability."

"Certification is currently being conducted remotely. However, in the first three rounds of testing reports, the company's four bone fish performed excellently, and the scores obtained all exceeded the passing line."

"According to the process, it will take another 3-5 days, and at least 3 biologists need to conduct cross-identification, and multiple sets of 200-kilometer round-trip on-site tests need to be completed."

This was smoother than Zhou Yi expected.

Mechanical and electrical cities use proceduralism as the core operating system. A new type of small city like Recursive City is already considered to be simplifying everything and handling special affairs. If it were replaced by a large city like Storage City, the entire process would only be more lengthy and cumbersome.

With nothing to do, Zhou Yi wandered around the melon field every day.

Merchants from Sand Port came over one by one leading camels to buy melons on the spot. At this time, the retired farming team founded by Zheng Tao came in handy.

These old farmers can not only plant, but also know the price行情 very well. Zheng Tao promoted a deputy named Old Man Chen. He is an old man with white hair and is specially responsible for collecting money, selling, and keeping accounts.

Summer is getting hotter and hotter, and the melon field has become more lively than ever before.

At this time, Night Claw suddenly ran to find Zhou Yi.

"Chairman, there is good news."

This old employee who had not been seen for many days could not hide his excitement: "There are three small tribes of Claw Pigs in the north. After my lobbying, they hope to join the company!"

Last winter, Night Claw was running this matter.

It believes that since the company needs Claw Pig dung, it is better to directly naturalize some Claw Pig tribes to ensure stable output.

With the backing of the Wasteland Development Company, the safety of the Claw Pigs can also be greatly guaranteed, at least on this land, they will not have to worry about food and drink.

The entire lobbying process was not smooth.

The Claw Pigs were originally 光纳 species that were more桀骜, and the tribes were controlled by leaders. The leaders were most unwilling to join, because this would cause them to lose power and prestige.

Night Claw then adjusted its target and chose those small tribes that were weak and threatened by annexation.

When Zhou Yi returned, the Great Buddha stepped into the north with the footsteps of the Guardian Heavenly Kings. The small tribes who were already living in hardship were even more panic-stricken. Three of them were finally willing to submit.

So Night Claw came to report the good news.

Zhou Yi patted this old employee who worked silently: "You have done a good job. No one knows the Claw Pig group better than you. The Claw Pigs who join the company will still maintain group autonomy. It's up to you how to settle them and develop their abilities."

"The company will guarantee their safety. In the winter when materials are scarce, it will also subsidize them with a batch of light seeds to ensure they can survive the winter. However, to obtain more resource倾斜, they need to show their skills."

"Yes, Chairman."

Night Claw grinned, and it licked its tongue: "To show their sincerity in joining, they also gave a clue about something. They said that in the northern forest, there is a buried chariot, and it is also equipped with a very powerful cannon."

"That chariot occasionally vibrates, as if it has not completely died, and it is in the depths of the forest, near the edge of the Dead Sea. So the Claw Pigs do not dare to go too deep into the forest."

Zhou Yi was stunned.

He immediately thought of the drone killer who shot down Red Falcon.

According to Red Falcon's description, it used to be located about 40 kilometers directly north of the Mushroom Forest, which happened to be the northern forest area where the Claw Pigs were located.

No.

Is it really still there?
