Wasteland Development Diary

Cui Mao took off his coat. Underneath the soft armor, his upper body was wrapped in a layer of tight black clothing, making his muscle lines particularly distinct.

The knight moved his shoulders, his body seeming very light.

"Mr. Zhou, I specialize in hand-to-hand combat and single combat."

"For me, my fists are the most powerful weapons."

Cui Mao raised his right arm.

Zhou Yi noticed that his fist was wrapped in a layer of bandages, and his entire arm was surrounded by a hazy light.

"Be careful."

Cui Mao exhaled a white breath, and his fist, as fast as a white mist, rushed straight for Zhou Yi's jaw.

Clang.

Zhou Yi tilted his head slightly.

Giving the other party some face.

The fist that hit his chin remained in an unnaturally stiff state, and heat slowly rose from his forearm.

Cui Mao's face turned pale instantly, and he grabbed his trembling right fist with his left hand, his entire arm drooping down.

Red Falcon synchronized the Tianjin knight's inner thoughts to Zhou Yi.

——[Gun Fist]'s overloaded deployment couldn't break through the defense, a D-level destruction skill is completely ineffective?

——Not good, the side effects of Gun Fist are too strong this time.

——My right fist is unusable... Alas, it will take a long time to reactivate it.

Cui Mao dragged his right hand and gave a wry smile, simply admitting defeat: "Thank you, for letting me see the real gap between myself and a strong person."

"It's nothing."

Zhou Yi said casually.

There were plenty of monsters that attacked him in the Dead Sea, and after strengthening his defense system day in and day out for ten years, he hadn't had his defense broken except by those high-level monsters in the upper and middle sea areas.

Zhou Yi could clearly see just now.

The opponent's attack caused 33 points of damage, which was completely negated by the defense.

This level of strength was far from enough.

Zhou Yi sized up the knight in front of him: "It seems that your hand can't be used for a short time."

Cui Mao nodded, and didn't hide anything from the person in front of him who was so much stronger than himself: "My enhanced body [Gun Fist] has a characteristic, if it causes damage feedback during battle, it will be activated and become excited, and then enter an overloaded berserk state, which can cause armor-breaking effects."

"In terms of destructive power, it has reached D-level."

"Unfortunately, the drawback is also here. If it can't cause any damage at all, it will cause the Gun Fist to enter a passive state of escape and fear, and the entire arm will temporarily become unresponsive, requiring many days of recuperation to restore its confidence."

Zhou Yi thought he had gained some knowledge.

It turns out that after this enhancer enhances part of their body, the enhanced body will also produce characteristics similar to self-will and personality.

Cui Mao's fist can fight advantageous and stalemate situations, but can't fight disadvantageous situations at all.

It's a god-tier skill when things are going smoothly.

Zhou Yi said: "In your current state, stay here with me for two days and then go back. It's not completely peaceful here either."

Cui Mao touched his head with his good left hand, his face slightly embarrassed: "It's really embarrassing, then I'll be bothering you."

Gong Zheng led the camel into the quadrangle courtyard to settle it down, and then went to tidy up a box room for the guest to live in.

Zhou Yi motioned for Cui Mao to sit down under the awning outside.

"Tell me about the looters here."

Cui Mao thought for a moment and said: "The looters nearby are indeed a thorny issue. Chicken Head Town is under the jurisdiction of Sand Port, and is also within the protection range of our Third Squadron. Although Mao Valley Town is an independent area, it is also adjacent. Sometimes, the looters will also hide in this area."

"We've investigated, and the looters here are basically guards and private soldiers hired by some merchants. They act covertly and have various informants in Sand Port, so it's not easy to dig them out completely."

"With the Tianjin Knights stationed, looters rarely appear near Sand Port. They roam to marginal areas like this, attacking merchants and locals along the way, and looting periodically. Mao Valley Town doesn't have regular armed forces, so it's difficult to solve this problem."

Cui Mao pointed out the key to the looter problem.

In the wasteland era, the poorer the place, the easier it is to be attacked by looters.

"But I think, even if the looters are active nearby, they would never dare to have any improper thoughts."

Cui Mao said with a smile: "They also size people up before acting."

Zhou Yi shook his head: "Not long ago, looters led by an enhancer attacked here, but I discovered them in time and wiped them out."

The other party was surprised: "Are they crazy? The martial artist crabs around here alone are not something they can contend with. Looters are inherently opportunistic and only pick on safe, easy targets... This is really a bit incomprehensible."

Zhou Yi asked him again: "Do you know a Fang Shi named Yang Si?"

Cui Mao revealed a look of realization: "I remember this name, there is Yang Si's public notice board in the Sand Port Fang Shi Association hall. What's wrong?"

"He was the enhancer who led the team."

The latest novel is first published at Six 9 Books Bar!

These words made Cui Mao's face become serious.

Zhou Yi asked: "Is the Fang Shi Association behind this group of looters?"

"No, Mr. Zhou, the Fang Shi Association only provides professional rating and guidance to Fang Shis, and only a very few high-level Fang Shis belong to the Fang Shi Association. Yang Si is just a very ordinary member, only having obtained the Fang Shi Association's rating certification."

"But."

Cui Mao slowly said: "Yang Si's boss is called Ji Chang, and this person is not simple."

"Ji Chang is a weapons dealer, he has handled many large weapons transactions, including new weapons manufactured by electromechanical lifeforms, and divine weapons from the Dead Sea... His personal background is very complicated."

"He is not only associated with some large looting groups, but is also an honorary knight of the Dead Sea Knights, which is actually a disguised form of obtaining the protection of the Dead Sea Knights. Ji Chang's whereabouts are difficult to determine, and he rarely shows up himself, with his subordinates coming forward. He is also on our Tianjin Knights' key surveillance list."

Zhou Yi had a guess in his heart.

The appearance of looters including Yang Si here is mostly for the giant in Mushroom Forest who cannot stand up, and behind them is the instruction of weapons dealer Ji Chang.

Cui Mao looked puzzled: "But I still don't understand, how dare that Yang Si attack you..."

Zhou Yi didn't understand either.

But he vaguely guessed that they had probably reached a critical stage in excavating the giant.

So they were highly vigilant about every move around them, and therefore took more radical actions.

But it didn't matter.

Fighting was as natural as breathing for Zhou Yi.

Cui Mao suddenly said: "Then Mr. Zhou, I have a question, the two electromechanical lifeforms over at the oasis are reclaiming land and farming, you must have hired them, right?"

"What species are you planning to plant and cultivate?"

"Sweet potatoes, peanuts."

"..."

The other party exclaimed, his eyes becoming somewhat blank: "Hiring them is expensive, and you're just doing it for sweet potatoes and peanuts..."

Zhou Yi told the other party: "Home-grown crops are safe to eat, and you don't have to worry about weird things being added. Actually, I'm quite picky about food."

Cui Mao held back for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "That makes sense."

Zhou Yi heard what the other party was thinking.

——Being rich is great, you can do whatever you want, so nice...
