Wasteland Development Diary

Zhou Yi looked around and found himself in an unfamiliar sea.

The surroundings were dark and quiet.

Flashes of electricity flickered from time to time overhead, like lightning hidden in dark clouds.

Zhou Yi couldn't determine the exact location, but the thick dust under his feet, and the unique turbidity and stuffiness of the seabed, were too familiar to him after years of walking on the seabed.

Relying on the flashing of the dead light above, he barely recognized the steep outline of the mountains above, so this should be in another submarine canyon.

He didn't sense any life nearby.

Zhou Yi turned his attention back to his hand. Now his right forearm was completely shattered, falling to the ground and turning into black ash, impossible to even pick up.

The break was scorched black, and still felt hot to the touch. Further up, his upper arm had some red and swollen marks, but it was still usable.

Losing a hand meant he had to go back and install a prosthetic.

His health had also plummeted to only 170,000, with most of the 450,000 Light Seeds consumed.

Zhou Yi felt regret in his heart.

He then looked at the banana in his left hand.

All this was for this.

To be precise, and the mud slab.

But he didn't know where the mud slab had fallen.

Zhou Yi bit open the banana peel. This thing had a pretty thick peel, but the fruit inside was a bit strange, not white like a normal banana, but iridescent like agate.

A rainbow banana?

What kind of variety was this?

He smelled it, and it smelled quite fragrant.

Should be edible, right?

Zhou Yi took a small bite. The taste was soft, glutinous, fragrant, and sweet, with a cool sensation after swallowing.

After the banana went down, strange shadows suddenly popped up in his mind, but these shadows were fragmented, like an unfinished jigsaw puzzle.

Could it be…

Zhou Yi quickly devoured the banana.

The fragmented and scattered images in his mind instantly merged into one, becoming clear and distinct.

Zhou Yi instantly understood everything.

This banana was a specially cultivated biological prop, storing a large amount of knowledge and memories, translated as [Common Sense Banana].

As the name suggests, the Common Sense Banana stored a large amount of basic information, which could be acquired and memorized through consumption.

It came from the Mud Tree Civilization of another world.

The technology tree of this civilization was mud and trees.

Mud was a material and carrier that could be freely transformed.

The locals used mud to create a large number of mud slabs, various containers, specific tools, tree buildings, etc. It was also used for deep mixing and processing, becoming a carrier that could cultivate various plants.

Trees were because giant trees were all over that world, the locals lived on the trees, and under the trees was a dead sea that submerged the world.

Giant trees could withstand the power of dead light without rotting or dying. They themselves were an extremely powerful life form, but their growth habits and tendencies still retained plant characteristics and were harmless to the locals.

In the early days, the locals depended on the giant trees for survival, but later they slowly learned to further utilize the trees.

They built passages under the bark, which could lead all the way underground, from which they dug out a large amount of mud. This mud, which had been transformed by the cyclic flow, had strong energy and many magical properties.

After obtaining the mud, the Mud Tree people began to build earth platforms on the trees, firing various mud sculptures and tools.

At this stage, they deeply developed the various uses of dead sea mud, especially discovering that this mud could promote the rapid growth and rapid mutation of various plants, so they began to artificially cultivate various tree plants with mud.

Later, they began to try to hybridize plants and graft them onto giant trees. Through this method, the Mud Tree people found a large number of flower, fruit, leaf and seed species that could be used as tools.

In addition to making their food extremely abundant, many of these fruits showed rich and wonderful functionality.

Some fruit shells were tough and thick, turning into new materials, some leaves had excellent water storage capacity, so specific multi-leaf plants were made into water storage devices, some petals and pollen could alleviate various abnormal symptoms of the locals…

This triggered the first technological explosion of the locals.

It was also at this time that the Mud Tree Civilization took shape.

However, at this stage, it was only in the initial stage of utilizing and transforming the natural environment.

The Mud Tree people still needed to survive carefully, because there were various ferocious monsters there. Their bodies, modified by dead light, were born much stronger than these tree people.

Relying on giant trees and various plant tools, the Mud Tree people finally began to try to hunt the light-nano species in the dead sea. However, capturing these dangerous monsters was not for them to use as food, but more importantly to study why they were so strong.

Some Mud Tree people had bold ideas.

They grafted plants onto the light-nano species, cultivating a series of strange new species, a considerable part of which were very aggressive, and their power far exceeded their existing counterparts.

The Mud Tree people's plant tool library expanded rapidly.

Later, they didn't even let themselves go, grafting plants onto themselves, and even connecting themselves to giant trees when they were about to die, becoming part of the giant trees.

In the dead light environment, the mutual grafting of animals and plants gradually succeeded, producing a series of incredible chemical reactions, and then safe and useful individuals were continuously planted in large quantities. The Common Sense Banana was a product of the extremely mature stage of grafting technology.

This crucial step completely allowed the Mud Tree Civilization to enter a super-fast development channel, which was the second technological explosion.

The mutual grafting of animals and plants may seem a bit appalling in the wasteland world, but it was not an unacceptable thing for the Mud Tree people.

Their lives were originally protected by giant trees and other plants, from which they obtained power, and finally returned the power to them when they died, which was a very natural thing in the eyes of the locals.

Relying on mud and trees, the Mud Tree people finally suppressed and subdued the once high-ranking light-nano species, ruled the world they were in, and formally established the Mud Tree Civilization.

After a long period of time, they also stepped into extinction.

The reason for the extinction was not the invasion of the outside world, but because of bugs.

Various kinds of bugs grew in the giant trees. These insects gnawed on the giant trees and gained power from the huge and solid trunks. The better the Mud Tree people maintained the giant trees, the faster they grew.

In the early days, the bugs were repeatedly killed by the Mud Tree people, and their numbers were controlled within a safe range.

But after the two technological explosions, the bugs began to parasitize various grafted creatures, from which they gained more diverse power and evolutionary directions.

The Mud Tree people also tried various ways to completely kill and peel off the bugs on the giant trees.

But the bugs could not be killed completely.

Their roots were under the dead sea, where countless insect eggs were hidden.

As long as the dead sea, which hid dirt and grime, could not be reversed and eliminated, they would always exist.

Parasitizing the Mud Tree Civilization allowed the evolution speed of the insects to far exceed any time in the past, and they also had more than enough food that could not be compared at any time.

They were like the Mud Tree people of the past, ushering in a complete explosion one day.

The latest novels are first published on 6|9|shu|ba!

In the long confrontation, the bugs relied on constantly evolving power to gnaw down giant trees one by one, and also made the Mud Tree Civilization lose its most core foundation for survival, and then entered an irreversible demise.

The Mud Tree people had to flee this world.

…

That's generally how it is.

Zhou Yi looked at the banana peel in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally bit the bullet and ate it.

What if there is some information in the peel?

Swallowing the astringent banana peel.

However, he did not get a new puzzle.

Zhou Yi then confirmed that the common sense stored in a banana was indeed just that much.

In fact, there are many details that have been recorded in his mind.

This grafting technology is already very powerful. It allows every newborn to quickly have a basic understanding of the entire world. It is a kind of efficient and simple education auxiliary tool.

As for the sashimi people.

There are also records in the banana.

The so-called sashimi people are actually a special fruit that has been cultivated, called [Blackthorn].

Its shell is tough and thick, and the outermost layer is almost like a coconut, which can withstand and absorb high-intensity dead light for a long time, and has both speed and impact resistance. It was transformed into a pointed human figure with long hands and feet because this is the physiological structure of the Mud Tree people.

The long thorns outside are both a disguise and a support that can be fixed in a variety of environments.

The Mud Tree people enter the Blackthorn, thereby crossing the boundary through space bubbles and fleeing to other worlds.

The so-called sashimi people are spaceships.

Different from Zhou Yi's initial judgment, the Blackthorn is actually a living body, and it still has life characteristics.

It just does not have self-awareness and is used as a biological tool.

Most of the time, the Blackthorn will be in a low-consumption state.

After being attacked and touched, it will enter the next stage, turn on a stronger mode to adapt to the environment, and jump to other areas to avoid danger.

Giving treasures is actually a bait mechanism to deal with the outside world.

If an unknown life approaches and tries to open the Blackthorn, it will throw out an item, and then run away, abandoning its tail to survive.

At the same time, it will also attack other individuals who have not obtained items to prevent other individuals from approaching again.

The treasures given by the sashimi people are actually various luggage that the Mud Tree people put inside. It's just that in the wasteland world, there is no problem in saying that the things of the Mud Tree people's civilization are treasures.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Rumors are really terrible…

He then thought again.

The Blackthorn that ran away brought himself over from the previous area.

That is to say.

It is likely still nearby.

Zhou Yi immediately began to search everywhere.

Relying on the energy capture perspective of [Alert], he really found the Blackthorn in an inconspicuous depression about 200 meters outside the cliff next to him.

It was like a human-shaped sea urchin stuck in the wall.

It's just that at this time, the Blackthorn has returned to the hibernation mode of the sashimi people.

The most important thing is.

Zhou Yi has now eaten the Common Sense Banana, and he has obtained the method of using and controlling this biological vehicle in his mind.

He suddenly regained his spirits.

Losing a right hand, at least he has to take down this Mud Tree people's cross-border spaceship!

Here I come!
