Wasteland Development Diary

Zhou Yi chose the construction site next to the beach bonfire.

The terrain here was relatively flat, and it was not far from the water source of the oasis river.

Behind it was the Dead Sea, which made it convenient to develop submarine resources.

In such shallow waters, large Photon-absorbing species from the seabed would generally not come. They haunted the deep-sea areas, where the density and intensity of absorbable dead light were higher, and there were a large number of high-quality prey they needed.

The samurai crabs still blocked off the surrounding area to avoid being affected during construction.

Zhou Yi then rode his bicycle back to the seabed.

He knew almost nothing about the specific process of building a house.

So Zhou Yi chose to adopt a ready-made approach.

In the mist of light streams, the visibility dropped sharply, and everything in the Dead Sea became shadowy and blurred.

In the past, Zhou Yi's crab legions marched slowly, and the problem of visibility was an important factor. The crabs could be aware of danger, but could not identify the surrounding abandoned buildings, and it was difficult to describe some complex things in detail.

This time, Zhou Yi activated the Kestrel.

The drone hovered overhead.

On the remote control's electronic screen, a large number of light streams and mists were filtered out, and the field of vision became very clear. The light mist turned into a water ripple on the lens, but it did not affect the observation of the surrounding terrain.

A highway next to Zhou Yi's team was clearly visible, and there was an overpass that had collapsed in the middle not far away.

He asked the Kestrel, "Are electromechanical life forms unaffected by the Dead Sea?"

A synthesized voice sounded from the remote control: "No, we are also affected by the power and influence of dead light, and most of us cannot be in such an environment for a long time. My [Bird's Eye View] is deployed in the Dead Sea area, and the consumption will also increase exponentially."

"But I used to be a member of the 'Recursive City' rescue team, responsible for searching for trapped electromechanical life forms in various environments, and also undertaking the rescue of other Photon-absorbing species. My structure and component modifications are designed to cope with extreme environments, and as long as there is no alarm, it is within a controllable range."

This was a perfect match for his profession.

Zhou Yi was relieved.

With the help of navigation, he quickly found the building complex closest to him.

This was an old residential area, which looked like buildings from around 2000. It had no name and had 7 units, each with 6 floors, built alone next to the highway.

The entrance was a raised broken wall and a twisted and crooked iron gate.

Zhou Yi entered the residential area and looked up, and he could still see the clothes hanging on the protective railings of each floor, and the empty pots.

Furniture and daily necessities could be collected from here.

The difficulty was the main body of the house.

Zhou Yi remembered that he had passed a construction site when he came from the east.

He used the drone to search extensively and quickly found the place.

The construction site was a mess. The main body of the high-rise building under construction collapsed for some reason. Although the various materials piled on the ground were scattered and disorganized, they were complete.

Zhou Yi felt great about it.

In the past, he felt that the construction site was full of dust and caused traffic jams, but now it had become a key strategic resource point.

The spears, shields, and even back armor of the samurai crabs were made of steel bars and iron sheets from here.

Building materials also had to start here.

His eyes fell on the open space on the other side of the construction site, where several special buildings were well preserved.

Found it!

That's what he wanted.

……

Night fell.

A Jin carried large and small bags, holding a pottery pot in one hand and a large bundle of dry grass in the other, with firefly sticks tied around his waist, moving to the beach with sweat all over his head.

After getting closer, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why was it so bright?

He took a closer look and was startled.

There was a glowing hill in front of him.

Could it be that he had gone to the wrong place?

But the samurai crabs patrolling and guarding in the distance proved that the master was indeed here.

What was going on?

A Jin carefully walked to the samurai crab guard, and was a little cramped for a while, not daring to go over. There was no master nearby, and he didn't know if they would attack him.

The samurai crabs didn't even look at him and continued to patrol the night.

Suddenly someone said to him, "Go all the way in, they won't hurt you, Zhou is waiting for you."

This strange voice was cold and majestic, as if it came from the horizon.

A Jin was stunned.

The master was called Zhou Yi, so Zhou was referring to him.

He gritted his teeth and continued to move forward with his bags.

Further approaching the glowing hill, A Jin saw that the master was sitting on a fluffy leather soft chair.

A large square black umbrella was propped up above his head, and next to it was a well-made, square wooden table with a lamp made of rhombus stones on it.

Under the illumination of the rhombus lamp.

This mysterious and powerful elder was drinking a red canned water at this time. He frowned, as if he had encountered something烦心事.

A Jin said cautiously: "Master, Master?"

The other party then turned his face: "You're here?"

"Master, my legs are completely healed, your medicine is so effective! I can start building a house now, I brought the tools."

A Jin first shook his legs, then he put down his bag and took out a stone cone and an iron shovel from it: "You say, where to dig the hole?"

The master shook his head: "No need for a hole, the main body of the house behind me has been built."

Behind?

A Jin then turned his gaze behind the other party.

That glowing hill.

It was composed of a huge square mountain body in blue and white, layered on top of each other, with a total of two layers. The light came from these mountain bodies, as if penetrating passages had been made inside.

Ground cave?

What kind of technology was this?

A Jin carefully observed and found that this ground duplex cave had a very symmetrical and smooth beauty. Each cavity of each cave was square and the same size, combined into a special ring.

In less than a day, the master made such a complex and luxurious cave rise from the ground!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, A Jin couldn't believe it.

"Master, you are so strong."

He exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

A Jin felt a sense of loss and茫然: "Such a perfect cave, I don't need such a rough craft..."

The master said烦心地: "It's called a container house, but it actually has不少的缺陷."

Zhou Yi's real goal was the container houses on the construction site. These ready-made prefabricated houses could be moved, and the samurai crabs' strange power was enough to transport them to the ground.

Under his command, the samurai crabs built a two-story small quadrangle courtyard on the beach, surrounding the container houses in a circle. This was done in one step, and the extra container houses could be used as warehouses and杂物间.

Then Zhou Yi discovered some specific troubles.

Each box-type house had only one entrance and exit, so to enter and exit different rooms, you needed to climb up and down. Samurai crabs could use simple tools, but cutting and welding was a bit too much for them.

In addition, this simple housing had poor sound insulation, and people would make a banging sound when walking in it. Because it was just a simple stacking and crude reinforcement, the container house upstairs would still make friction and shaking sounds in the wind, which greatly affected the quality of living.

An unexpected gain was that不少的菱光石 were found in the shallow sea area of the Dead Sea, which was enough for basic lighting at night.

A Jin scratched his head after hearing this.

"I don't think these are problems, Master, if possible, can I try to fix it? Which cave do you live in?"

Zhou Yi said: "Try the first room on the left first, this is not a cave, it's a box-type house."

"Okay, okay."

Then A Jin opened his破旧 backpack and took out many pieces of wood from it. He flexibly climbed up and down between the container houses, stuffing various sizes of wood chips into the gaps, then糊 on mud and hammered them with a stone hammer to reinforce them.

The creaking sound was greatly reduced.

Zhou Yi tried it and found that it was much quieter inside.

The young man wiped the sweat from his face: "Master. If you still think it's noisy, I can 糊 a layer of mud on the walls inside, and then add branches and dry grass, and it will be very quiet. There are actually various noises underground, so if you do this, you can basically sleep."

Although this was a good idea.

However, Zhou Yi decided that it would be better to get some wood as soundproofing boards.

"Very good. A Jin, well done."

The praised teenager was a little诚惶诚恐: "I didn't help much, I just did a little work. Now that the house is built, I'll go back."

Saying that, he was about to pack his bags.

"This is just the beginning, there are still many decoration and maintenance problems in the later stage of the house, which are all your job."

Zhou Yi told him: "You are my employee, of course you live in the employee dormitory, just live in the one next to me."

A Jin waited for a while before he reacted. He was surprised and happy for a while: "Really? Can I live in this luxurious cave... box house?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "I said all-inclusive. Go and rest."

"But Master, it's night now, it's time to work."

"Oh, I forgot about this, then you can check the dormitory everywhere first to see if there are any problems and do some repairs."

"Okay!"

The young man began to move his things into the house.

At this time, the voice of the Kestrel sounded in the remote control.

"Three suspicious targets were found, outside the periphery of our camp,侦查 our side has been up to half an hour."

"There is one 강화자 among them."

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows.

On the first day of moving, it seems that he has to clean up.
