Wasteland Development Diary

Under satellite navigation, the Focusing Body rushed to various light burst locations to recharge, guiding the Light-Sucking Monsters along the way toward the Great Buddha, continuously enhancing its own strength through dual-line operations.

Although the third fusion partner had not yet been found, Crane Light was not anxious.

It now possessed both the confidence and composure of Crane.

"Chairman, I now realize that the stronger the fusion partner, the better. What's suitable is best."

"In the previous generation, the three of us had disagreements in many aspects. My role was measurement and observation, but because I was the weakest at the time, many of my judgments were denied and questioned."

"However, I don't resent or hate them. On the contrary, they were actually very good to me, but they thought I wasn't strong enough, so my decisions were hard to trust."

"Later, when we encountered an atmospheric creature attack, they led the battle to break through the encirclement, and I was the only one who survived."

It paused for a moment: "After returning to the inner sea, I desperately wanted to find a strong person to fuse with, someone who could go back and avenge them."

"Crane and I trust each other. It trusts my measurements, and I rely on its Light Blade combat without reservation, eliminating the past divisions and internal friction."

The Focusing Body floated beside Zhou Yi, its cyan light flames pure and gentle.

"So next, I will look for the last fusion partner suitable for me. Strength is no longer the only criterion. What matters is that we can complement each other and truly rely on each other."

"If we can't combine a suitable skill set and truly merge with each other, the outcome will be no different if we encounter atmospheric creatures in the outer sea again."

Its transformation and growth after fusion brought Zhou Yi some comfort.

The Focusing Body began to grow gradually with light bursts, no longer impatient.

...

On the same day, a message came from Emerald City.

"Commissioner, Building 6 has been completed and is ready to be opened for occupancy at any time."

Zhou Yi visited this new member with great interest.

The top of Building 6 was covered with trees, making it look like a head of lush green hair.

Its bottom units had eight wide stone walls as supporting legs. When moving, these eight legs supported the building to crawl on the ground.

Then, the windows of Building 6 lit up rhythmically.

The flashing of the windows formed simple Samurai Crab patterns, looking like a Samurai Crab crawling up and down the building, occasionally turning into glowing patterns of birds, waves, mushrooms, and more.

It used the windows as light spots, creating a giant LED display wall.

If the Emerald City itself was a steady and practical pioneer, and Building 5 was a warrior patrolling the homeland, then Building 6 seemed a bit flashy.

Zhou Yi pointed at the building in confusion: "What's going on with it?"

Emerald City replied: "After Building 6's consciousness was born, it made a modification to itself."

"It wanted to be different and distinguish itself from me and Building 5."

"After completion, I took it out. In the northern forest, it transplanted many trees along with the soil to the top of the building."

"It is very close to the Samurai Crabs. Usually, Hammer Troopers and Samurai Crabs transport various building materials to it, providing more than twice the amount of steel bars as Building 5, allowing it to have greater extensibility and a larger external coverage area."

"The Samurai Crabs often visit and accompany it. They cannot talk, but every time Building 6 grows a floor, the Samurai Crabs happily run around it to celebrate."

"So it also transformed its bottom into Samurai Crab legs to show that it is with them."

"Compared to me, it is closer to the Samurai Crabs."

The honest and simple Emerald City was also a little at a loss at this time.

Zhou Yi carefully inquired about the details before understanding the whole story.

Different environments create different life personalities.

Building 5, for example, was born with a tendency to prepare for war because it was born during wartime.

Building 6 was born in peacetime.

During this period, Emerald City was constantly running around. It first went on a long business trip with Zhou Yi to United City, and after returning, it expanded the dam, dug up buried war vehicles in the north, handled express deliveries, and followed the Great Buddha to confirm the Focusing Body's affairs...

Although the construction of Building 6 was still ongoing, it was truly a left-behind child.

It's normal to have no feelings for adults who are rarely seen.

The only ones who accompanied it from beginning to end were the Samurai Crabs.

So Building 6 is also particularly friendly and fond of the Samurai Crabs.

Zhou Yi looked at this very individualistic new high-rise building, and after careful consideration, he made a decision.

Emerald City was a little surprised after hearing this: "Building 6 is specially opened for the Samurai Crabs?"

"Yes."

Zhou Yi said: "The Samurai Crabs are the earliest veterans of the Wasteland Development Company, the employees with the longest service in our company, and the company's image representatives. This is the treatment they deserve."

"Over the years, the Samurai Crabs have been conscientious and dedicated. Although they are not very intelligent, they always rush to the front line whenever they are needed."

"Since Building 6 likes the Samurai Crabs, and the Samurai Crabs like it too, then this building will be reserved specifically for the company's Samurai Crab employees. From now on, the company's Samurai Crabs, Hammer Troopers, Dual-Blade Hands, and Weapon Masters will officially live here. Of course, those who don't want to live inside will not be forced."

"Building 6 will be called Samurai Crab Apartments."

Zhou Yi's idea was very simple.

He couldn't let honest people and honest crabs who worked diligently suffer.

In the past, the identity of the Samurai Crabs was relatively ambiguous. Now is the perfect time to tell everyone that the Samurai Crabs are also formal employees of the company, and everyone must be treated equally.

First, solve their housing problem.

After this news was conveyed, Building 6 immediately became excited.

Its whole body was glowing with windows, and the glass on all four exterior walls displayed Samurai Crab lights, causing the residents passing by on the ground to look up.

Red Falcon then started a full-area broadcast.

The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"Dear employees, dear residents, we are now broadcasting an important announcement from the company."

"Emerald City Building 6 has been completed and will officially operate as a residential building from today."

"This building is an exclusive employee dormitory, named 'Samurai Crab Apartments', specially built for the Samurai Crab employees who are veterans of the company. Those who want to move in must be Samurai Crabs, Hammer Troopers, Dual-Blade Hands, Weapon Masters, etc. Currently, there are plenty of slots available. Please tell the Weapon Masters to move in as soon as possible."

"In addition, Building 7 has already started construction. Please be patient and wait for further announcements for employees and residents who need to move in."

Through Red Falcon's [Bird's Eye View], Zhou Yi also checked the reaction of the residents of Emerald City to this.

——Why the Samurai Crabs? They can only fight a little, resist a little, and it's okay for them to live in the wild... We are the ones who need houses the most! This is unreasonable!

——Alas, one step slow, every step slow. I should have gone to Building 5 back then. I don't know how many people will be waiting when Building 7 is scheduled to move in. I won't even be able to draw a lot then.

——I didn't get drawn last time, and there's no place this time. Damn it, I should have been a Samurai Crab!

...

Compared to the complaints of the foreign residents, the employees of the company were more emotionally stable.

Although many employees were also surprised, their evaluations in their minds were more positive. The reason is that the Samurai Crabs are old employees, and the company treats old employees well, so it will treat them, the new employees, well.

Moreover, following the company, they have priority in residency, so they are not as greatly affected by a little change as foreign residents. Moving into Emerald City is only a matter of time.

The happiest were the Weapon Masters.

Xie Xun ran excitedly to Zhou Yi: "Chairman, thank you for providing such good houses for everyone!"

"Everyone is very happy."

Zhou Yi also saw that Hammer Troopers and Dual-Blade Hands were lightly walking into the dormitory, and Samurai Crabs were also moving towards Building 6 one by one under the guidance of the Scavenger Team's Weapon Masters.

What he didn't expect was that, in addition to carrying weapons, the Samurai Crabs were actually carrying backpacks and boxes. Inside were large iron pots, giant shells of unknown species, tarpaulins, small metal coffee tables, and other items.

Zhou Yi asked: "What are they collecting these for?"

Xie Xun tapped his shell with his claw and gesticulated: "Chairman, in the wild, Samurai Crabs need a covering that they can carry with them."

"Usually, they dig a hole, then cover it with the covering, and then spread sand on it, so there is a simple cave. This is a habit brought by some foreign Samurai Crabs after they joined, and it is now a popular practice."

"Although they have safe houses to settle in, they are still used to carrying these coverings because they have been used for a long time and are very important furniture."

Zhou Yi then realized that Samurai Crabs would make a simple tent to cover themselves when they rested, similar to the way hermit crabs do.

He hadn't noticed this change himself.

Currently, the company has 13 Weapon Masters (7 of whom are from the Scavenger Team), 58 Hammer Troopers, and 24 Dual-Blade Hands.

Various departments want to hire Weapon Masters because they are smart, strong, and have strong learning abilities. Communication can be solved through the transceiver of the translator.

Except for the unchanged personnel of the Scavenger Team, the Express Center, the Breeding Platform, and the Farming Area each took two Weapon Masters.

Zhou Yi's attention was also focused on the Weapon Masters.

He reminded himself that he also had to pay attention to the situation of ordinary Samurai Crabs.

Xie Xun also said: "Chairman, I have good news to tell you."

"Xie Si of our Scavenger Team has learned to summon fish."

Zhou Yi was stunned: "Summon? Bone Fish?"

"It's Bubble Fish."
