Wasteland Development Diary

The voyage of the Yalong Bay was not fast. Even after being cleaned up to a certain extent, its maximum speed was only 10 kilometers per hour.

Zhou Yi calculated that even at the fastest, it would take 170 hours, a full 7 days, to return to Emerald City.

Plus, he had to avoid various rapids and high-pressure areas, so the final time would be even longer.

Since there was no rush.

Zhou Yi patiently sat on the coast of the base, enjoying the winter scenery of the Dead Sea along the way.

The Yalong Bay rolled over the sea, and the light-absorbing monsters along the way avoided it from afar. The next day, it even passed by and watched a sea battle. As a result, several pirate ships and the robbed fleet turned around and fled.

Most of the time, the Dead Sea scenery was monotonous. Thorn birds occasionally swept past in the distance, light-absorbing monsters transformed into glowing ghosts in the mist, and lightning always surged in the perennial fog of the Dead Sea.

Zhou Yi lay on a chair under a large umbrella, basking in the warm winter sun: "At this size, the speed shouldn't be much faster even if it were a ship."

Red Falcon said: "The larger the object, the stronger the resistance from the dead light. The advantage of large ships is their carrying capacity and stability. Speed has never been the core of their pursuit. If a light imprint like 'Propulsion' is installed to increase speed, it will not only greatly increase consumption but may also lead to an imbalance in the entire light imprint structure system, which would outweigh the benefits."

Propulsion?

This gave Zhou Yi an idea.

He called for Jiaotou.

"You can propel Snake Island forward on the Dead Sea, so can you propel Yalong Bay?"

Jiaotou blinked his one eye: "Chairman, it is possible. It is also a kind of floating island, but it is very large, and the speed increase we can give it may not be much."

Zhou Yi asked it to try with the Victory Snakes.

Under Red Falcon's lens, the Victory Snakes quickly gathered around the cave. They fixed their round heads on its edge, and then straightened their bodies. Many Victory Snakes, like black stone pillars, began to push the submarine base together.

The speed of Yalong Bay increased.

Under the action of more than a hundred Victory Snakes, the maximum speed of the submarine base reached 15 kilometers per hour.

The speed increased by 50%.

Jiaotou said: "This is almost the limit. If you want to increase it further, you need more Victory Snakes together. But it's better to divide them into two groups to take turns, so they can rest and sustain."

Zhou Yi keenly noticed the key.

"Jiaotou, if you switch to a ship, you can bring more speed bonus, right?"

"Of course, Chairman."

Jiaotou answered while pushing the trestle: "Ships are very easy for us to push."

"To be honest, the Black Pearl we formed before was flexible enough, but it couldn't unleash everyone's true speed. Because after the number is too large, it is difficult to coordinate. If everyone faces different directions, there will be a lot of internal loss of power."

"In the past, we formed a fortress-like form, which basically remained still. That look was the most stable."

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up: "If you switch to a ship, you only need to be responsible for linear acceleration, then it's okay, right."

"Yes, yes, that's it, Chairman, that's what I mean. That's the best, simple is the best," Jiaotou said.

Zhou Yi thought he had made a mistake.

He had used the Victory Snakes in the wrong place before.

They are pure natural Dead Sea accelerators, but he asked them to tie themselves together to become the Black Pearl, which completely failed to show their speed advantage.

Now there is another problem, no ship.

He lacked a decent ship with combat capabilities.

Zhou Yi entered Cave No. 3 again and found the St. Petersburg: "I want to hire you in advance. Your service period will end at the end of winter, right? Just come to our company directly?"

The mercenary submarine said: "Of course, I can. There is usually a small vacation after the winter, and I will take the time to do maintenance. But if it is help between friends, there is no need for any fees, but if it is a real hire, my price is very expensive."

"Let's still follow the work."

Zhou Yi felt that it was better to be businesslike. Especially for combat units, it is easier to issue orders.

St. Petersburg said: "I work in two seasons a year. Winter is the busy season, and the price is 4000 light seeds. The remaining is the off-season, and the price is 1000 light seeds."

"Then I will hire for one year first."

"Are you sure?"

Zhou Yi directly took out the light-absorbing box: "Let's sign a cooperation agreement first."

When both parties signed the electronic agreement, Zhou Yi realized that the St. Petersburg came from the mechanical and electrical city "Peace City" and was a registered mercenary there.

Red Falcon gave a brief introduction to this city.

"'Peace City' provides services including hired defense, dangerous information reminders, urban area assessments, strategy consulting, etc."

"Their information is expensive, but the accuracy and credibility are extremely high. Some cities will also ask them to do consulting and evaluation services. But to the outside world, Peace City is most famous for its high-quality mercenaries."

"Due to the industrial structure, Peace City has more freedom than many mechanical and electrical cities, but they also follow certain principles of order. The hirers choose them, and they also screen the employers, mainly providing defense and security."

"Peace City will evaluate and score every mission of the registered mercenaries and rate the employers. Whether the employer or the mercenary, if there is any violation of relevant rules, the credit rating will be reduced, or even blacklisted and no longer cooperate."

"Compared with other mercenary groups, Peace City's biggest advantage is credit and order."

This does not affect Zhou Yi.

He hired the St. Petersburg to fill the gap in maritime defense and ensure that Emerald City is in a stable and safe environment.

St. Petersburg emphasized: "Every mercenary has his own rules, and I am no different."

"I refuse to attack unarmed civilians, and I do not participate in the destruction of life settlements such as cities, and I do not accept payment on credit or in exchange for goods instead of light seeds."

"No problem," Zhou Yi agreed.

Both parties' identities have passed the verification of Peace City.

Zhou Yi saw that the St. Petersburg had completed more than 400 mercenary missions and was a genuine veteran mercenary. Its ID-like electronic illustration was also displayed.

……

[Mercenary · St. Petersburg]

Strength: B

Skill: C

Vitality: B+

Rating: B

Professional expertise: Rescue, defense, interception, remote pinpoint blasting.

……

Professional combat unit, strong enough vitality, can withstand it.

The newest novels are first published on Liǔ.9.Shū.Bā.C.ō.M!

In terms of skills, it doesn't seem to be the type that can play tricks, but the strength is sufficient.

It still has remote blasting capabilities.

The St. Petersburg can form a linkage with Emerald City, one attacking and one defending, so it will no longer be pulled by the warships in the Dead Sea.

With submarine escort, the underwater excavation and development work in the new year can also be expanded to farther areas. This is the most important resource development area, with light embers, light amber, and various human heritages from the pre-civilization era.

5000 light seeds can buy these, Zhou Yi felt it was worth the money.

St. Petersburg was also a little surprised: "Credit rating B... The wasteland development company is not an ordinary organization. I have never heard of this name before, it's really strange."

It also said: "Since it is an employment relationship, although there is at least one month left in my service, please allow me to formally introduce myself again."

"My skills are 'Deep Sea Bombing' and 'Invisibility', and other data are not convenient to disclose. But as long as the enemy target is in the Dead Sea, just leave it to me, I will handle it."

Zhou Yi learned from this time that mercenaries are strictly confidential about their own values, which also gives them stronger destructive power and concealment on the battlefield.

Only those who participate in a large number of battles, such as the Dead Sea Knights, will have their various parameters collected after intelligence gathering.

Then Zhou Yi asked Jiaotou and St. Petersburg to cooperate. The Victory Snakes were linearly attached to the surface of the submarine. When it accelerated, Jiaotou also accelerated.

The effect was very good.

The mercenary submarine also exclaimed: "It has greatly improved my speed. The Victory Snake is really an amazing creature. It is worthy of being a combat species and matches me very well."

Time passed quickly in the communication between Zhou Yi and St. Petersburg.

After five days of sailing, the submarine base finally arrived in the area where Emerald City was located.

Yalong Bay finally chose to connect to the shore behind the hospital, protecting the Maria Hospital in the center with Emerald City on the left and right.

The residents were naturally curious about this newly arrived huge building, and they came to look at it every day. They were also full of interest in the light-absorbing monsters floating around the base and began to set foot on this brand new land, exploring everywhere.

……

Inside the second cave.

Zhou Yi said to the Bone Man Jacob: "The situation of the Sea God is like this. When you see it, what else can you remember?"

The Bone Man seemed not to hear, slowly walked inside, climbed up the submarine all the way to the back, and then stayed on a deck of the ship's berth.

Jacob suddenly shivered.

He seemed a little panicked and looked at Zhou Yi: "Chairman, I feel... there is something inside... It is calling me, I feel I can open it here..."

Zhou Yi nodded: "Take a look."

With the St. Petersburg and the Yalong Bay base, there is no big problem.

The Bone Man put his dry palm on it, and the previously closed hatch suddenly opened automatically. He looked around and drilled in along the handrail ladder.

After about three minutes.

The Bone Man Jacob climbed out in a daze and walked all the way to Zhou Yi.

He was holding a large bone fragment in his hand and did not speak for a long time.

Zhou Yi reacted: "You have a connection with the Sea God because the missing part of the skull is here?"

Jacob nodded.

"I also know now that the missing part of the memory is here, but..."

The Bone Man looked back at the Sea God: "It's very strange inside. The skull remembers that there should have been 3 Bone Men inside. We used to live inside, together with the Sea God, but now they have all disappeared."

"The Sea God also has no response."

"Something must have happened here before, but even if I get the skull, I can't remember it at all. That part of the memory is gone."

Jacob showed a confused look.
