Wasteland Development Diary

The explosion sent shockwaves rippling outwards.

The forest giant barely raised its head before being blasted by the Copper Bull's artillery support, forcing it back to the ground.

Zhou Yi witnessed the intensity of heavy firepower suppression up close for the first time.

At that moment, a shadow emerged from the mushroom forest.

The Black Warrior intercepted it.

The figure stopped abruptly and spat something out.

"Master, Master, don't attack! It's me! Your loyal Nightclaw!"

Zhou Yi called off his subordinates.

The mushroom guardian had some scarred wounds and patches of purplish-brown bloodstains on its fur, making it look rather disheveled.

It panted and said, "Master, thank goodness you're here. I thought I was done for. The area outside the mushroom forest was blocked by a team of Strengtheners. They shot at me with crossbows. I didn't dare to come out or expose the mushrooms inside. I tried to lure them away, but I ended up having to run deeper inside…"

"Just now, a large monster revived from underground. I tried to break through, only to realize that you had already taken over this place. This is great, Master!"

"Oh right, the mushrooms are still here. I brought them out."

Only then did Zhou Yi notice the mud-covered mushrooms that Nightclaw had spat out on the ground; they were mostly intact.

"Well done, you've worked hard."

Zhou Yi said, reassuring it.

"It was nothing, it's what I should do. With you here, this place is safe!" Nightclaw seemed relieved and offered a compliment.

Zhou Yi turned his gaze to the Iron Steed beside him: "What's the situation with Copper Bull?"

Iron Steed said, "It told me that there's something very dangerous in the mushroom forest, with a very high machine body strength. Copper Bull wants us to retreat from here first, and it will try to hold that thing back."

Zhou Yi was taken aback.

It seemed that those two rockets hadn't caused any substantial damage to the giant.

He immediately ordered the Warrior Crabs to collect the items and equipment left behind by the Strengtheners and quickly retreat.

At this moment, the giant slowly rose again from the dust.

The war chariot fired again from afar, two rockets dragging crimson tails, turning into two nocturnal shooting stars to snipe at the enemy.

However, this time, they were frozen in the air in front of the giant, as if captured by some strange force, turning into two floating orbs of light.

Fine, strip-like objects grew out of the giant's body in the flying dust.

They wove into a long, thin bone arm, the end of which unfolded into a cage-like cube, enveloping the two rocket orbs of light.

The two orbs of light seemed to melt, slowly flowing into the giant's body through the bone arm.

Hong隼's voice came from Zhou Yi's mind: "It has converted and absorbed the power of the artillery fire, turning it into the pure energy it needs."

"The strength and precision of this skill are already beyond the scope of Grade C, at least at the Grade B level. Considering that it has been dormant for many years, and is still in a poor state of just restarting, its machine body strength may also be Grade B... extremely dangerous, we need to evacuate immediately."

Zhou Yi's expression was strange.

Through Hong隼's high-altitude camera shots, he saw the full appearance of the giant.

This giant was light gray all over, with stains all over its surface, and a large amount of sand and debris constantly fell from it.

It was covered in holes, literally riddled with holes. It also had no head, and its body was the same thickness from top to bottom, both being straight and wide rectangular prisms.

The upper half of the giant's body was the most damaged, with a large diagonal gap at the top, looking like its head had been bitten off by something.

From any part of the observation description, it was very strange.

But these elements combined together were something Zhou Yi was very familiar with in the past.

The so-called giant that can't stand up is a tall building.

Its strange limbs and arms were completely constructed from intertwined steel bars.

Can the building body formed by reinforced concrete also evolve life characteristics in the Dead Sea?

Zhou Yi asked Hong隼 full of doubts.

"Mechanical and electrical life can be born, so of course there is also architectural life, but their numbers are very small."

The drone replied: "Their forms and structures vary, and there are large differences between individuals, also known as Dead Sea Aliens."

"Unlike mechanical and electrical life with clear norms and guidelines, architectural life is immersed in the Dead Sea environment for many years, not only affected by the radiation of dead light, but also affected by various life forms nearby."

"A more recognized theory is that architectural life is the result of the collective evolution of many lives in a certain area. Including the mechanical and electrical life, flesh and blood light-receiving species, bone people, etc. that come into contact with it."

"Various life forms leave or die from the building body, but their past behavior trajectories and the signals they release are retained in the building by the light film of dead light. With the continuous accumulation of life consciousness information, over time, under the high-pressure field caused by dead light, the outbreak of dead light and the catalysis of torrents, there is a certain probability that architectural life will be born."

"It can be understood as a form of collective memory transformed into life."

"Unfortunately, it is completely impossible to communicate with them, and they cannot communicate with each other internally. In addition, their behavior is bizarre, they go their own way, and their own machine body strength is usually extremely high, and they also have various strange skills, so it is a walking natural disaster."

......

The incomplete high-rise giant stood in the mushroom forest, motionless, bathed in the sunlight, and there was a faint reflection on its surface, as if covered with a layer of oil film.

Zhou Yi was too familiar with this scene.

This big guy is absorbing dead light.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

It has just woken up and urgently needs energy supply.

At present, the high-rise giant does not have any attack tendencies, but it is hard to say after it is fully charged.

Considering that it can directly absorb thermal weapon heavy firepower, if it goes crazy, its destructive power will be very terrifying.

The red light on the camera on the head of the Iron Steed flickered: "First there's the weird weather, and then there's this level of monster... There's no way to continue farming until it leaves. It will destroy the entire farmland just by passing by."

"Let's put the farm on hold for now, safety first."

Zhou Yi said.

Copper Bull remained silent. It was dragging a container of fertilizer, the four rockets mounted on the front of the car had been fired, and the two artillery pieces on top were still aiming at the giant, maintaining vigilance.

"My brother said that the guy's machine body strength is too high, and the gap between it and the opponent is too big, and there is no way to stop it. It thinks that we have to find a way to lure the monster away, otherwise that guy is a super time bomb and may go berserk at any time."

Iron Steed relayed the opinion of the socially awkward brother.

"I think so too."

Zhou Yi looked at Iron Steed: "I have a curious question, why are you equipped with fake weapons, but Copper Bull is equipped with such powerful firepower?"

"Well, since you and I are considered friends who have gone through life and death together, then it's okay to tell you."

The Iron Steed's headlights flashed: "I was originally a traditional agricultural machine, and I still do my job after awakening. Copper Bull is different. It used to be a multi-functional chariot and originally had many years of battlefield experience, but later it didn't want to fight anymore, so it switched careers and modified its machine body."

"But after all, it used to be a senior warrior, and the weapons it was equipped with were also from the previous inventory, so it simply took them to deter, and they could also be used at critical moments."

"I didn't expect that I couldn't use it at all before, but this time I encountered a guy that I couldn't beat at all."

Zhou Yi thought to himself, so that's how it is.

According to Hong隼's bird's-eye view reading, the giant's startup was the last counterattack taken by the Strengthener Luan 驺. But I don't know why, the giant didn't directly start killing, but was just quietly charging.

"Master, I know a little bit about the situation."

Nightclaw next to him suddenly said.

"When I was hiding in the mushroom forest before, I found a large number of figures drilling into the giant's body, all of them were Black Hand Mushrooms. I suspect that those guys controlled the giant. So the giant can react quickly and block our attacks."

Black Hand Mushroom?

Zhou Yi immediately asked Hong隼 to further scan the high-rise giant.

On the remote control screen, he really saw those hurried figures in the window holes, they were busy, and didn't know what they were doing inside.

Through those gaps, you can see that a large number of mushrooms and soil are being sent from the bottom to each layer by the figures.

The damaged high-rise has become a mushroom kingdom.

Zhou Yi was shocked.

No.

Are these Black Hand Mushrooms really using aliens as Gundams?
