Wasteland Development Diary

The rain continues to fall.

In the city ruins, Crusader Crabs roamed freely.

Led by the Weapon Master, they carefully searched everywhere, looking for survivors trapped under debris.

Weakened walls continued to collapse, and only they could withstand such impacts.

Inside a makeshift tent in an open space, Feng Ying finished treating a wounded person.

"Doctor, will my hand grow back?"

The injured person was an eight-year-old boy named Beta.

He looked at his right hand, the entire forearm was gone, leaving only thick bandages.

Fortunately, there were enough anesthetics, anti-infection drugs, and hemostatic tools, otherwise, such an amputation would have a high mortality rate.

Feng Ying never lied to patients: "No."

"Oh."

The boy was somewhat disappointed.

Feng Ying said, "But when you grow up, you can replace it with a prosthetic limb.

Modern prosthetics are very precise, and there is no difference from a real hand in daily use."

"Is that very expensive?"

The boy moved his stump slightly: "I know someone who has a prosthetic limb, but his family is very rich.

My family farms shellfish, and we can't afford it."

"Not being able to now doesn't mean you won't be able to in the future."

Feng Ying said softly, "When you grow up, come and work for our Wasteland Development Company, and you will definitely be able to afford it."

"Really? You'll take me even without a hand?"

"Yes."

Feng Ying told him, "At the company's Glitter Dam, there is an inventor named Wang Tai, he is very lazy, but he is good at using his brain.

He invented a tool called the 'Striving Machine,' which can complete basically all work by simply turning a crank.

Operating it with one hand is no problem at all."

"Because one Striving Machine can do the work of several people, the chairman awarded him the first prize of the 'Wasteland Invention Award,' with a bonus of 100 Light Seeds, or 10,000 Mushrooms.

This is something everyone in the company knows."

The boy's eyes widened as he listened: "So much!"

"And the Emerald Soup you drink was also invented by company employees Qin Mo and Qin Shu.

That is sold to many cities through Coral Port, and every serving of Emerald Soup has royalties.

They are all ordinary people, and Qin Mo is also a patient."

Hope was instantly rekindled in Beta's eyes: "I want to work at the company!"

"Recover well, and you can try after you come of age."

Feng Ying smiled.

The boy said blankly, "Doctor, your smile is so beautiful."

"Thank you."

Feng Ying took off her gloves and got up, preparing to go outside to check the situation.

Some wounded people cannot be moved and must be rescued on-site.

There were several such temporary tents nearby, all filled with patients who had undergone first aid.

However, Feng Ying was alone, and there was only so much she could do, feeling a lot of powerlessness and helplessness during the rescue.

A dispassionate voice came from the transceiver clipped to her ear.

"All rescue teams, please coordinate with the reinforcement team."

"This reinforcement team is led by Sun Chonglai and consists of 14 Black Hand Mushrooms. They will begin building temporary residences, please cooperate with their actions."

Captain Red隼 (Red Falcon) was concise.

Feng Ying was a little surprised, it was someone from the Mushroom Forest.

However, she quickly threw herself into the first aid work, because doctors were being called everywhere, and people were shouting for help.

...

According to weather satellite scans, this Category 17 typhoon reached 208 kilometers per hour, forming very suddenly in the far sea, and Shell City did not detect it due to the heavy fog.

The Category 12 wind radius inside the typhoon was 60 kilometers, and the edge of the wind passed over the east of Shell City, causing a large number of houses to collapse and be damaged, and some residents were swept away and went missing on the spot.

This typhoon lasted for 16 hours after landing before gradually subsiding.

The latest news Feng Ying received was that, under the typhoon attack, Shell City had 141 confirmed deaths, 1,500 injuries, 3,700 homeless, and one-fifth of the city's buildings were destroyed or unusable due to safety concerns.

Numbers simply cannot describe the cruelty on the ground.

Feng Ying raced against time to rescue the wounded.

However, due to the deterioration of injuries, insufficient related medicines, infections caused by the humid and rainy environment, lack of corresponding equipment, and many other reasons, many patients died during rescue and rehabilitation.

Most of them were elderly and children.

She thought more than once.

If Maria Hospital was here, it could provide the best treatment and rehabilitation environment.

But there were also patients in Emerald City, and it was impossible to mobilize it.

Having received the company's assistance, the disaster victims were very grateful.

They had Emerald Soup to fill their stomachs, quilts to keep them warm, and tents to shelter them from the rain, which were the most lacking supplies at the moment.

Bei Du Gong also said to the rescue team: "Thank you very much for your support.

Without you, the estimated death toll from this disaster would be dozens more."

"I see your hard work and efforts.

After the disaster relief is over, I will definitely ask Mr. Zhou to commend you and pay you a generous reward."

Feng Ying was not very interested in this territorial lord.

The company didn't come to do disaster relief for money.

In terms of profitability, having the express delivery center take more orders, or having the Glitter Dam start full-scale construction, would be more efficient and safer than being here.

Feng Ying also asked Captain Red Falcon.

"Is the company's rescue of Shell City out of morality or sympathy?"

The drone said: "Both.

Zhou said that only when you treat others as your own will others treat you as their own.

It is normal for us to provide rescue when our own people are in disaster."

Feng Ying's mind conjured up the image of Chairman Zhou Yi.

He always jumped back and forth between deep thought and letting himself go, sometimes appearing like a spirited young man, and sometimes showing an incomprehensible deep maturity.

It was impossible to judge when he was acting arbitrarily and when he was weighing the pros and cons.

There is a saying among the North Ocean Knights.

——What you do is what you are.

This sentence means that a person is what he has done.

Zhou Yi is trying his best to help the victims here.

That's enough.

What he is thinking is not important.

...

Six days later, Bone Man Sun Chonglai found Feng Ying and asked her to try the Mushroom Forest's latest invention.

"This is the Mushroom House.

Although it has been appraised by Doctor Da Vinci as non-toxic, Doctor Feng still needs to judge whether it has any problems on this land."

Feng Ying was a little surprised.

The giant mushroom standing in front of her, three meters high and two meters in diameter, was actually going to be used as a house.

She opened her medical kit and performed a series of tests.

"No toxic reactions were found."

"Humidity is normal."

"Air is normal."

Feng Ying even went inside and slept for a while.

As a result, she fell asleep for more than an hour.

Because the sound insulation inside was so good, the noisy wind and rain outside could not be heard at all.

She said: "The Mushroom House itself is non-toxic, and it is more comfortable to use as a residence than it looks."

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

"That's good, that's good."

Sun Chonglai rubbed his hands with a happy face: "The chairman is really a genius, he saw this point so accurately."

It turned out that the Mushroom House was requested by the chairman to be put in place.

The homeless victims were assigned Mushroom Houses one by one.

At first, they still felt scared, because the bright red cap looked very dangerous, and the giant mushroom was a well-known poisonous substance.

However, under the demonstration of Feng Ying, the doctor, they finally chose to believe.

Only two days later, the local displaced people moved into the Mushroom Houses, and this soft and tough house quickly won everyone's love.

Putting a rhombus stone in it was enough to complete the lighting, the space inside the mushroom was very clean and dry, and no insects dared to approach, and the umbrella-shaped cap was a natural high-quality roof.

Some people even tried to cook slices of giant mushrooms.

But they soon gave up, because this fast-growing mushroom itself was like grass, full of hard fibers, and it was really impossible to chew.

Beta excitedly said to Feng Ying: "Doctor, the Mushroom House is so magical, the Wasteland Development Company is so great!

They can actually grow houses!"

"Doctor, you must have many such things, right?"

"I heard people say that the chairman is a celestial being, or a weapon hunter, and some say that he is a sea god disguised as a human... What kind of person is the chairman?"

Feng Ying thought, how would I know.

However.

Publicizing the chairman's image is crucial to the company.

So she thought carefully: "He is the kind of... very special person."

"Very special? In what way?"

Feng Ying frowned: "Very strong."

"Of course, so many aliens are his employees, he must be so strong."

Beta looked like it was a matter of course.

"..."

Feng Ying thought about it and could only say: "And he looks good, he is the kind of person you will not forget after seeing him once."

She really knew too little about Zhou Yi.

"And he has a lot of Light Seeds, it seems that he has never lost a battle."

"It's over."

The teenager Beta looked sad: "Doctor, you must like him, he is strong and rich, and he looks good.

I will have no chance in the future.

Even if I grow up, I have no hope."

Feng Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a while.

But this was just a small episode.

The rapid establishment of the Mushroom House injected vitality into the city under the original tragic disaster, so that people could finally have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and the bright red umbrella-shaped cap roof also added a little light to Shell City.

People further developed this durable and simple house.

When the weather was clear, residents would drill to the cap to blow the wind and see the scenery.

They wrapped ropes around the stem of the mushroom, or hung wooden signs with pictures and words to indicate their homes.

Even many residents with houses wanted to apply for Mushroom Houses on the grounds of worrying about dangerous houses.

Humans are very fragile in this world full of all kinds of great power.

Everyone is born to learn to forget, only in this way can they survive.

The reconstruction brought by the Mushroom House diluted the pain of losing relatives and friends before, and helped everyone to adjust their direction faster and continue to look forward.

What Feng Ying didn't expect at all was that Bei Du Gong took out a large number of Light Seeds and exchanged them for dried mushrooms and copper, which were distributed to every disaster-stricken person, and the dead were buried in a specially built cemetery.

In addition, the territorial lord also directly invited a group of doctors from the Official Ability City to provide free treatment for all injured and disabled residents, and uniformly replaced them with prosthetics.

Beta was also fitted with a retractable right arm prosthesis.

This prosthesis can be adjusted in length and can grow with him.

"Doctor, you knew we would get prosthetics! You should have said it earlier, I was sad for a long time!" Beta waved his iron arm happily.

Feng Ying felt strange.

Although these prosthetics were all E-1 level, cheap devices made by human cities, and were only installed and debugged by electromechanical doctors from the Official Ability City.

But even so, the price of hundreds of prosthetics themselves was amazing.

Bei Du Gong didn't know where he got so much money.

Did he borrow it from the chairman?

It wasn't until later when she returned to Maria Hospital that Doctor Da Vinci told her: "Frontline news, the typhoon triggered a small Light Amber spout 12 kilometers south of Shell City, and Bei Du Gong is already mining it.

The economy of Shell City will grow rapidly in the coming period."

Feng Ying then understood.

No wonder she didn't see many Light Na Seed soldiers during the disaster, they all went to the seabed mining area.

The territorial lord only makes decisions that best suit his own interests.

These dead and injured civilians are the price.

Before Feng Ying left, the one-armed child named Beta gave her a small wildflower.

"I don't have money now, I can only use this to thank you, doctor."

"I will come to the company to work when I come of age! I will take the chairman as my goal and become very powerful, you watch!"

Feng Ying only hoped that he could grow up healthy and not become a price again.
