Wasteland Development Diary

After the battle, the company employees were still a little uneasy; they had never seen such a scene before.

Zhou Yi briefly explained the situation to them.

"...In short, the sea raiders who launched a violent attack on our company have been sunk by Emerald City, and the company will resume normal operations."

A Jin and A Feng were the simplest; after receiving the notification, they were relieved and went back to their work.

Gong Zheng, however, privately found Zhou Yi and said, "Chairman, the Knight Group is the most concentrated and largest armed organization of human enhancers. They didn't succeed this time, but they won't let it go."

"When I was an apprentice, I heard that the Dead Sea Knights have the largest number of warships in the Knights. They are active in the Dead Sea all year round and may launch retaliatory attacks in the future, which could become a long-term hidden danger."

What he worried about was the constant threat from thieves.

If the company were to have a temporary weakness in defense or dispersed forces, it could be attacked by the Dead Sea Knights again.

A passive situation would exist for a long time.

However, in Zhou Yi's view, this approach to solving the problem was wrong.

Zhou Yi told Gong Zheng: "The company will not choose to defend; we will take the initiative to exert our strength, strengthen our control over the Dead Sea area, and expand our business scope. In the long term, we will definitely enter the Dead Sea."

"If the Dead Sea Knights want to fight, we will fight them. We will fight as long as it takes until we achieve complete victory. If they dare to come with a few warships, I will sink a few."

Zhou Yi looked at the distant misty sea and waved his hand, saying, "Reason and order are both forged through battles."

Ten years of underwater warfare had made him very clear about confrontation.

One must not avoid battle.

The more afraid you are, the more easily you become constrained and make forced mistakes, and the more easily you are suppressed.

Only by daring to fight tough battles and being able to fight tough battles can you put pressure on the enemy and make them afraid to act rashly.

Zhou Yi's strategy was that if the Dead Sea Knights came with few ships, he would bomb and kill them as much as possible; if they came with many ships, he would retreat to land and fight guerrilla warfare. The nearby mushroom forests, death dunes, and oasis belts were all good places for ambushes.

As long as the enemy went ashore and deep inland, with the Red Falcon's vision, the Samurai Crab Army could unleash its true close-quarters combat power.

If that didn't work, he would retreat back to the seabed, continue to recruit troops and raise crab soldiers, and wait for an opportunity to make a comeback.

Come on.

See who can outlast whom.

Zhou Yi's words made Gong Zheng's eyes become somewhat dazed and struggling.

He finally sighed: "You are right, this is the mindset of a strong person. I have been a weak person for too many years, always thinking about how to protect myself, how not to offend people... In the end, I became more and more timid, even being punished for things I didn't do, and not daring to argue."

"Now that I think about it, I really feel a little uncomfortable."

Gong Zheng said solemnly: "I believe that with you, with the Wasteland Development Company, with Emerald City, this place will definitely get better and better! As long as we become strong enough, the Dead Sea Knights will have to come and negotiate with us respectfully."

Zhou Yi smiled and patted the young man with crutches on the shoulder: "That's right."

"Chairman, I'll go sort out and test the company's inventory of equipment first."

"Go ahead."

After working busily for most of the night, Zhou Yi returned to his home on the 31st floor and had only been asleep for a while when the patrolling Nightclaw ran to report that someone was visiting.

Zhou Yi looked at the three people standing outside the door and yawned: "So you know each other. And who is this?"

The three people outside were Cui Mao, a Tianjin Knight carrying a square backpack, Qian Su, a weapon dealer wearing red round glasses, and a strange teenager carrying a large box.

Cui Mao greeted with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, I met Boss Qian Su on the road, so we came together."

He pointed to the teenager beside him and introduced: "He is my knight guard, Chen Hao."

Chen Hao bowed politely: "Mr. Zhou, hello."

Zhou Yi also nodded to him: "Hello."

He had previously learned from Cui Mao that there were actually not many official knights in the Knights; the largest numbers were logistics personnel and knight guards.

Knight guards are assistants to official knights.

They usually undergo some combat training, master the necessary basic knowledge, follow the knights to learn, participate in battles and pursuits, and routinely follow the knights' orders. Knights and guards are somewhat similar to the relationship between police officers and auxiliary police officers.

The difference is that the relationship between guards and knights is closer, almost like a mentor-disciple relationship, and they can be promoted to official knights.

Cui Mao suddenly looked at the girl next to him: "Boss Qian Su, didn't you want to discuss important matters with Mr. Zhou?"

"Yes."

Qian Su said with a smile: "It concerns commercial secrets; I need to talk to Mr. Zhou alone. Please excuse everyone for the time being."

Cui Mao took Chen Hao to the door and closed it.

Nightclaw also tactfully stood guard outside the door.

Zhou Yi and Qian Su were left in the room.

Zhou Yi sat on the sofa: "Sit down, tell me, what's the matter?"

The girl raised her head, her gaze coming through her glasses: "Will Mr. Zhou be staying here for a long time?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "If there are no force majeure factors, the Wasteland Development Company will operate here for a long time."

"In that case, does Mr. Zhou need any commercial services?"

Her words hit the nail on the head.

Previously, Zhou Yi's concentrated extermination of the ant lions in the Death Dunes was to open up the road to Sandport and lay the foundation for future trade.

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first. Without convenient transportation, it is difficult for people and goods to flow.

The Red Falcon's purchase of a machine station connected to Recursive City did provide an online channel.

However, Zhou Yi was still exploring the specific situation there.

According to Red Falcon, a local resident, the transportation costs in Recursive City are high, and you have to wait a long time. Because the city lacks electromechanical life with transportation functions, it is best to buy and sell locally.

Zhou Yi asked the bespectacled girl: "What are the charges?"

"This is the product catalog, please take a look."

Qian Su took out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it over.

The front of the list listed the items for sale, the back listed the items for purchase, and the bottom also had the pricing method for transportation fees.

Normal delivery is free, but the delivery time can only be guaranteed within one month.

Express delivery costs 10 light seeds per trip, and overweight items require double the transportation fee.

Qian Su charged him according to this standard for the two sets of light-blocking devices she sold him.

The statement stated that delivery services are not provided to special areas, including extremely remote areas, the Dead Sea dangerous zone, and areas where wars and natural disasters occur.

Zhou Yi skimmed an outline and then pulled his gaze back to the beginning of the list.

"Qian Su's Shop, Delivering on its Mission"

Using two partners as a promotional slogan is also clear at a glance.

"If there is anything not on the list, I can also find other merchants to purchase, so please don't worry. It just takes a little time to transfer and turn over goods."

Qian Su was more proactive and had more restraint and service spirit this time than last time.

Zhou Yi thought, it seems that sinking the Wind Chime had an effect.

He said: "Help me deal with some things and see how much they can sell for."

Zhou Yi took Qian Su to the adjacent container house warehouse.

Inside were damaged four-wheeled motorcycles, flintlock pistols, sniper rifles with scopes, and a metal spear whose name and method of use were unknown.

After Qian Su did a little inspection, she gave a quote for each one.

"Damaged modified four-wheeled vehicle, 2 light seeds."

"Knight firearm, muzzle-loading pistol, 1 light seed."

"Knight firearm, medium- and long-range long firearm, 12 light seeds."

"Spear of Disorder, 90% new, 70 light seeds."

Zhou Yi sold all of this batch of spoils.

Cashing out first.

85 light seeds were pocketed.

It slightly alleviated his current financial difficulties.

After the transaction was completed, Qian Su said: "I will be going to Jin City to purchase goods recently. It will take about a month to come back. I will come here again then. If Mr. Zhou needs anything, you can also book it with me in advance."

Zhou Yi thought about it, he didn't need anything.

Three sets of light-blocking devices are currently enough.

The girl's lips moved, as if she had something to say, but in the end, she just smiled and said goodbye: "Then I will go to purchase goods first. I wish Mr. Zhou all the best."

Qian Su never mentioned the Dead Sea Knights from the time she arrived until she left, as if she had forgotten that this had happened.

After she drove away in a large truck, Cui Mao dismissed his knight guard and said with a serious face: "Mr. Zhou, I don't know if you are clear, this Boss Qian Su is a citizen of the Heavenly Kingdom."

Zhou Yi nodded.

Qian Su had said so when she introduced herself.

"She is one of the agents of the Heavenly Kingdom."

Cui Mao said in a low voice: "After returning to Sandport, I found out through the squadron that Ji Chang is a Star Hub voter. He is suspected of multiple cases of arms smuggling, contraband sales, intentional injury, and causing death in several cities, but he has not been caught and imprisoned, which is also due to this status."

"The Heavenly Kingdom and the Star Hub are in long-term confrontation, and the relationship is becoming increasingly tense. That Qian Su may want to use your hand to deal with Ji Chang..."

Zhou Yi handed him a can of cola and told him to speak slowly.
