Wasteland Development Diary

Under the reward policy, the Samurai Crabs immediately became active.

Although they weren't smart, they were very sensitive to light seeds.

After finishing their shifts, the Samurai Crabs began to train extra hard, some lifting weights, some running, and some doing brain-intensive exercises like crazy.

The entire apartment building showed a proactive attitude, completely different from other purely residential buildings.

Four days later, two Hammer Soldiers and one Dual-Blade Wielder emerged, and a Weapon Master named Xie Tu was born.

Zhou Yi gave them all rewards.

Xie Tu was particularly noteworthy.

He entered the intelligence room earlier than Xie Lian, but Xie Tu didn't have Xie Lian's all-out mentality. Instead, he seemed to enjoy the intellectual challenges as a hobby, finding joy in them.

Xie Tu's specialty and hobby was drawing.

"Chairman, I want to join the Express Center to draw various logos for the company and design patterns for the delivery staff's uniforms."

"Patterns are the easiest to understand, simpler than words. Anyone with eyes can see and recognize them. Through patterns, more outside lifeforms can learn about our company."

So Zhou Yi told him to report to Qian Su.

Just as the Samurai Crabs were working hard in the apartment, Jiong He, who had disappeared for many days, finally returned.

...

"Chairman, I'm back. I apologize for the delay due to some special circumstances."

The Light Cluster said.

It was still in the form of a cyan flame, but it had an extra light spot orbiting it slowly, like a small satellite guarding it.

Through the [Alert] perspective, Zhou Yi saw that Jiong He had turned a deep purple all over.

It was already an A-level lifeform.

Zhou Yi was delighted: "The last fusion is complete?"

"Yes, Chairman."

The Light Cluster said, "I have merged with 'Cang,' and should now be called Jiong He Cang. Energy-based lifeforms don't need Xin Qiu; they can obtain a large amount of conscious information from energy itself."

"When I first found Cang, I was rejected. It preferred a solitary lifestyle."

"But I didn't give up because I could clearly measure that Cang had very special energy trajectories with extremely high precision. This showed that its use of its own abilities had reached a very high level."

"It has long been focused on honing and developing its abilities, which I greatly admire and respect."

Every time Jiong He visited Cang, it would invite it to collect a light burst point together.

Cang would go, but when it came to fusion, it would resolutely refuse.

Jiong He persistently showed sincerity and goodwill, telling Cang about its own experiences and the various benefits of being integrated with the company.

Normally, the fusion of Light Clusters is either a perfect match or a fight to determine dominance.

It's extremely rare to repeatedly persuade and invite someone like Jiong He without resorting to force.

Eventually, Cang was moved, and it made a request.

"Without its consent and preparation, we will not enter the Outer Sea. We reached a consensus on this point."

Jiong He Cang said, "I used to stay in the Outer Sea, and I am very clear about the dangers and intensity there, so I will not consider returning to the Outer Sea in the short term."

"What is needed now is to skillfully master and develop abilities, and further replenish sufficient energy."

Zhou Yi also nodded: "It's right not to rush."

"Chairman, now I have Cang's abilities."

The light spot surrounding the Light Cluster suddenly accelerated, stretching out into a luminous wide-edged ring.

"This is 'Wall,' which is a wall or shield made of energy that can defend against and intercept external energy impacts."

"Cang has further developed it."

"Continuously compressing the structure of the wall into a point, the energy is highly compressed and condensed, and the energy dissipated by the machine will be absorbed by it, which can maintain continuous operation."

The ring shrank back into a light spot, revolving around Jiong He Cang.

"This is 'Guard,' which evolved from 'Wall.'"

"The high-speed operation of Guard is enough to complete the function of Wall, blocking external attacks and power impacts. But its more important function is to absorb energy."

A second light spot appeared on the surface of the Light Cluster, and the two Guards revolved around the main body like stars surrounding the moon.

"They continuously absorb the free energy in the surrounding environment to strengthen themselves."

"The light burst ground is the best environment for Cang. Those high-intensity energies that dissipate everywhere are the best supplements for Guard."

"Their limit is my size."

As soon as Jiong He Cang finished speaking, the two Guards suddenly emitted a strong light, and their size also increased.

"At that level, I can no longer control Guard, and they may explode at any time... But as long as it is within a controllable range, Guard is both a guard and my external energy warehouse."

"This is the value of Guard."

Zhou Yi was stunned: "The size of the main body, are you saying that you can create an energy body equal to yourself outside the body by absorbing energy?"

"Yes, Chairman. This is Cang's deep development of its abilities, which is incredible."

"This energy body will self-destruct... In other words, it is also a means of attack?"

"That's right."

The Light Cluster said: "However, Cang was still exploring how to operate the Limit Light Guard for attack, which is also the focus of my future attempts."

Zhou Yi was amazed.

Energy-based lifeforms do have unique advantages, and their speed and scalability in developing their own abilities are the strongest among the lifeforms he knows.

Their upper limit is very high.

"There is one more thing that I didn't consider carefully, Chairman, please punish me severely."

The Light Cluster said, "Before returning, I went to the Shuanghe area to kill or seriously injure Extinction Duke in order to help our side gain a war advantage."

"Over there, I killed three Thunder Beasts that were about to take off with a light blade and discovered an A-level lifeform and fought with it. I think it should be Extinction Duke."

Zhou Yi frowned.

According to the news from Sand Sea Duke and others, Extinction Duke should have fallen from Skywalker... Unexpectedly, it has recovered to its peak again.

This is an unfavorable situation.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Jiong He Cang continued to narrate: "Extinction Duke has strong resistance to blows and recovery. I can penetrate and cut it, but I can't kill it."

"Its machine is made of sand. I even detonated a Light Guard, but I still couldn't destroy its body."

"Extinction Duke can use sand as a weapon, mixing it with some other substance and changing its movement. It used suspended dust to reduce my speed and attack intensity, alarming too many Guangna species around... I realized that I couldn't cause fatal damage to it, so I had to withdraw."

"Chairman, this time I made my own decision, and the final result may have led to alarming the snake. I am very sorry... I am willing to accept all punishments."

Zhou Yi fell into deep thought.

Alarming the snake is indeed the case.

But from another perspective, it can also be regarded as a heavy punch that put pressure on Extinction Duke.

It's also good to get information about Extinction Duke's abilities.

Zhou Yi scolded: "You must be more cautious in the future. Acting alone is very dangerous. If the other party has devices and abilities to restrain you, you will be in danger. Remember this lesson, and don't do it again."

"Yes, Chairman, I know I was wrong... I will never do this again."

"Stay at the Great Buddha tonight so I can find you."

"Yes. This time also made me realize that I am not strong enough. I will definitely continue to work hard to improve my strength, and I will definitely win next time!"

"Go and do your work."

The Light Cluster immediately flew into the Dead Sea to continue searching for light bursts.

...

Jiong He Cang's lightning strike in the Shuanghe area did not cause any waves outside.

Even the air raids on Shell City and Steel Refining City were the same as usual.

Until one day later.

The news still came from Sand Sea Duke.

"Mr. Zhou, my internal contact sent reliable information saying that the Shuanghe area was attacked by an A-level lifeform. However, the information was highly blocked before and could not be transmitted. Now it has been loosened a little, so there is a chance to transmit it."

It said excitedly: "That A-level lifeform destroyed the shipyard in Beihe Port and sank 13 merchant ships docked in Donghe Port. Its sudden appearance caught the local garrison off guard."

"Unexpectedly, another flying A-level lifeform appeared and sniped at the previous one. Suspected Extinction Duke took action... The battle between the two sides was very short, and they both stopped at the point, and the local area was covered by strong light and dust, so it was impossible to see clearly."

"This part of the information is highly confidential, and the internal contact only heard a small part of it. Now this situation has become a bit confusing, and I don't understand it."

The more Zhou Yi listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.

In other words.

The A-level lifeform that fought against the Light Cluster was also attacking the Shuanghe area, but was instead an enemy of Extinction Duke?

He was a little numb.

Jiong He Cang's misjudgment and action instead allowed Extinction Duke to escape.

It can only be said that the luck was not very good.

That night.

Outside Emerald City, a bone man wearing a watch came to visit.

"Zhou Yi, long time no see."

The other party grinned.

Zhou Yi also smiled: "It seems that you have solved the problem over there and finally got out of prison?"

"Yes. But it was not easy to catch those criminals along the way... Fortunately, they were all finally completed."

Wu Yi said carelessly: "Originally, I wanted to bring you a gift and wandered around Extinction Duke's territory to cause it some trouble."

"As a result, I encountered a strange A-level lifeform intercepting me. It was very strong and fought me in an energy state. In the end, I had to hastily withdraw, after all, I am also very ordinary among A-level lifeforms. It's a pity."

Zhou Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It turned out that his own people were fighting in Extinction Duke's territory.
