Wasteland Development Diary

#28 - Chairman Ying Ming

Ding.

The elevator doors opened to both sides, stopping at the 31st floor.

Zhou Yi led his group out.

Now the 31st floor has become the top of Emerald City, but at the request of this commissioner, Emerald City has cleaned it up. The fragments and dirt on the ground have been blown away, leaving only a few tenacious patches of moss, which look like some kind of ecological building.

The only two houses on the top floor face each other, next to an elevator, which doesn't even have a roof.

The high-rise is dilapidated.

But Zhou Yi is not worried.

Emerald City has disclosed its own machine condition to him.

"...The damaged area exceeds 31%, the overall operation is within the normal range, and there is no risk of collapse or breakdown."

"The current charge is 3.32%. Reaching the 10% safety line will allow for machine overhaul with natural materials."

It needs a lot of metal, various inorganic substances, or natural building materials for construction and repair, and it would be even better if there were ready-made ones.

Zhou Yi plans to wait until Emerald City is settled a bit and the company employees have a basic understanding of it, then he will enter the Dead Sea again to find house repair materials.

There is plenty of reinforced concrete on the seabed sealed by the death light.

Zhou Yi arrived at the rusted anti-theft door of 3101.

The door creaked open slowly.

The room was very empty, the furniture and floor had long rotted, and after being cleaned, it became a standard bare room, totaling 122 square meters, with three bedrooms and one living room, the main structure intact.

The house has good lighting and high visibility. The walls and ceiling emit a kind of non-glaring bright light—the source is naturally Emerald City.

According to Zhou Yi's request, the room can be turned on with soft light at any time, and there are two levels of cold light and warm light.

After the birth of Emerald City's self-awareness, this is also the first time it has welcomed an owner.

It didn't charge for water and electricity, which made Zhou Yi worried.

He didn't want to see this building life overdrafting itself and causing problems. In the end, it has to be sustainable development. Freeloading is good for a while, but Emerald City is now his own, and if the building collapses, everything will be gone.

"Can your energy reserves handle it?"

"Please rest assured, the energy conversion rate inside the machine is very high, and the loss is minimal. If it's just for lighting, it's almost negligible."

Emerald City said that it can absorb death light energy from nature during the day, which is enough to meet these needs.

Seeing the bright, daylight-like interior, young A Jin looked around left and right: "Where are the lights here? How is it so bright? Is it entirely made of rhomboid stones?"

He wanted to touch the wall, but he was a little afraid.

Gong Zheng looked thoughtful: "So the inside of the Dead Sea alien is like this. It's not that you will be swallowed and digested after entering, you can also stay and live in it..."

He asked: "Chairman, will Emerald City still move around?"

Zhou Yi said: "Without special circumstances, it will remain stationary for a long time."

"That's great!"

Gong Zheng was immediately excited: "I think we can transfer the company's supplies here."

"Before, A Jin and I were more worried because there are sand rats here. They are ordinary small animals, but these guys are very good at digging holes and stealing things. The people of Mao Valley Town have been stolen from by them, mushrooms, branches, soft leaves, and feces, they steal everything."

"They are very cunning, they only steal a little bit each time, making it difficult to detect. With Emerald City, they will not be able to climb up, and it will also have a great effect on deterring those external looters."

Zhou Yi was speechless.

The real value of Emerald City is not such a small matter.

But he thought about it.

That's right.

Since there is Emerald City, a building life that integrates attack and defense, with its own energy and recognition capabilities, it must be fully utilized.

He first communicated with Emerald City.

Emerald City expressed safety risk reminders for unauthorized construction. Zhou Yi believed that this was the corridor on the 31st floor, which is a public area, and there are no safety hazards in simply stacking container houses.

Finally, Zhou Yi proposed to raise a maintenance fund, including 10 light seed funds and various raw materials, adopt a joint construction and maintenance, and reuse the abandoned areas. He finally reached an agreement with Emerald City.

"Gong Zheng, your suggestion is very good. But we have to go a step further, move the company directly in, and work on the top floor, next to my room. You and A Jin will do this later, and I will let Emerald City help you transport the main body of the container house. But some small things, you need to bring up in batches through the elevator."

Zhou Yi's words surprised and delighted the two employees.

A Jin immediately smiled: "I didn't expect that I could live in such a high place! I'm no longer afraid of monsters attacking, the chairman is so strong!"

Gong Zheng had to restrain himself a lot. He tried to suppress the upward curve of his mouth and the slightly trembling hands, and took a deep breath: "Chairman is wise."

Zhou Yi heard a hoarse voice.

"Mr. Zhou, can I take the liberty to ask, what exactly do you want to do?"

It was Cui Mao who spoke.

This knight with a bandage on his right hand had a somewhat serious expression.

"Although I cannot know your true identity and origin, you have a guard composed of samurai crabs, and you can even tame and subdue Dead Sea aliens. Saying that you are developing land, reclaiming farmland, and building houses here sounds unbelievable."

The Tianjin knight paused: "You want to conquer all the nearby towns, right?"

Zhou Yi looked strange: "Then tell me, what can I get?"

"Of course, various resources and wealth, and a lot of manpower..."

As he spoke, Cui Mao suddenly choked.

Zhou Yi said softly: "You realize it yourself, right? Those towns you mentioned, I don't have any opinions on them or target them, it's just that the fact is that they are too backward."

"As far as I know, the only city nearby is Sandport."

The latest novel is first published on Liu 9 Books Bar!!

"Sandport still goes out at night and stays in during the day, ordinary people are forbidden to leave the city and go out during the day, and a large amount of resources must be regularly paid to the sea lord there to allow it to protect the city."

Zhou Yi looked at this wounded enhancer and smiled: "Even so, light-absorbing creatures still appear in the city, destroying houses and causing casualties. Your knights can only expel or capture them, and dare not directly kill them, because light-absorbing creatures are superior."

"I have no interest in such a place."

Zhou Yi heard this from Gong Zheng.

Sandport's productivity, infrastructure, and population far exceed Mao Valley Town, but it is just a city colonized by monsters.

Looters regularly rob Mao Valley Town, and the sea lord orders Sandport to pay tribute, there is no difference in essence.

Cui Mao's face was a little embarrassed after hearing this.

"Sorry, I am a bit direct. I know that Sandport is just an ordinary medium-sized city. They have to consider surviving first before considering other things. They don't have many choices."

Zhou Yi stood by the window and pointed outside: "So our company is preparing to start transforming from here and create a different lifestyle."

"It's a waste to use so much land just to bask in the sun."

Cui Mao seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just nodded: "The situation here is really amazing, I have to return to Sandport to make a detailed report. If you want to find me, go to the city defense office in Sandport, or find any knight or knight guard, they can all find me."

"Take care."

...

Outside the mushroom forest.

On a hill.

Sun Chonglai put down the old telescopic telescope in his hand.

It pinched its cervical vertebrae with its finger bones.

A black hand mushroom ran over in a hurry and said: "Lord, lord, it's not good! The chairman of that company really tamed the Dead Sea alien!!! That alien stopped in front of him and let him enter and exit its body at will!"

"The alien also specially lit up the indoor cave on the top floor for him!!"

"Maybe that alien is really his subordinate..."

The black hand mushrooms whispered to each other, their voices full of uneasiness and worry.

"Will we be attacked by them?"

"It's hard to say, maybe that chairman is very narrow-minded... I heard that the higher the human position, the narrower the mind. He just pretends to be generous and then secretly carries out crazy revenge."

"Unfortunately, our explosion mushrooms are almost used up, and it is difficult to resist aliens at all, alas."

"Let's surrender, surrender!"

"Shut up, you surrenderist, you deserve a beating!"

The bone man Sun Chonglai slowly opened his mouth: "Everyone, don't worry and worry."

The mushrooms were quiet when the lord spoke.

"That chairman took the initiative to remind us that he hopes we will cooperate with him, otherwise he could have launched a war at that time. We made an expensive attempt, although it failed, but I don't think it was the wrong choice."

"In terms of strength, he is far superior to us, but since what we want to do is farming and planting, that is what our mushroom forest is good at."

"As long as we show enough sincerity and technology, we can impress him, ability and value are the key to survival and stability..."

"Wait for my news."

The bone man straightened his red scarf, pulled his ragged coat, and walked towards the brightly lit high-rise in the distance.
