Regarding the strong radiation at the Olympic Sports Center, Kunming Station explained: "We are sorry, we were unaware of such an issue. As far as we know, the Olympic Sports Center doesn't have intrinsic radiation properties."

"Previously, we connected with the Olympic Sports Center by projecting consciousness through satellite, and did not detect such an issue."

One must approach the Olympic Sports Center closely to be affected by the radiation.

The satellite is a remote direct projection, so it is understandable that Kunming Station was informed.

Zhou Yi then inquired about the Jiong Hecang beside him.

It, too, has encountered the phenomenon of life degradation.

This indicates that the radiation intensity is extremely high and also affects A-grade life forms.

The Condenser said: "Chairman, my measurements cannot penetrate this Building Life, and I'm unable to obtain details of the radiation source."

The most reliable method now is to communicate with the building entity of the Olympic Sports Center itself.

Before that, some preparations needed to be made.

Zhou Yi took out the Guangna Box.

Light Seed, boost me!

He inhaled 10,000 Light Seeds in one breath, enhancing his Life Value by 100,000 points.

The total Life Value reached 200,000.

Such a short-term enhancement didn't bring any discomfort; in fact, it made his body feel lighter.

With a physique capable of withstanding the radiation damage, Zhou Yi once again moved towards the Olympic Sports Center.

The white lotus petal exteriors of this colossal stadium featured two sizes, arranged in an alternating pattern. The petals were crafted from a fine mesh structure, making the outer walls appear like a semi-transparent metallic screen.

Looking through the gaps, the inside still seemed blurred.

Zhou Yi placed his hand on one of the steel frames.

Energy input.

Consciousness synchronization, activate.

"Hello, Olympic Sports Center, I am Zhou Yi from the Wasteland Development Company. I have been commissioned by United City to take you across the Dead Sea and transport you to the mainland on the other side of United City."

Soon.

He heard a bright and cheerful voice: "You can communicate with me through consciousness? Your ability is quite unique."

Zhou Yi was somewhat surprised.

Among the Building Lives he had encountered, the Olympic Sports Center was second only to Yalong Bay in size, a true colossus, yet its voice sounded the youngest.

"I need to confirm something. Who invited me? And what am I going across for?"

"The Water Factory Dormitory invited you. Going to United City is to join the local city and become one of the Building Life connections."

"All correct."

The other side responded with ease: "Then there's no problem. Allow me to introduce myself, my full name is 'Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium,' my primary role is to conduct sports competitions to push participants to constantly break their own limits."

"Let's leave right away."

This fearsome murderer certified by Heavenly Kingdom was easier to deal with than expected.

Zhou Yi asked the crucial question: "Why do you have radiation power?"

"I don't."

The other side responded: "The source of the radiation power is not with me, but underneath the ground where I'm located. That's the true source of evil. That's why I settled here, to prevent it from possibly causing more chaos."

It turned out to be underground.

"That thing is..."

"I'm not sure," it said, "observation and identification aren't my strong suits."

The Olympic Sports Center said: "I can only sense through the flow of energy that it is very powerful and right underneath the ground."

Zhou Yi switched to another angle: "Has the radiation source been here from the beginning?"

"It came later."

The Olympic Sports Center explained: "Initially, it was only me here. Later, a group of people dug a hole in this place and buried that thing here."

"Then many were sent into the hole and then brought back out to compete here... and then many died."

"Wait a minute."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but interrupt: "Are you saying those mutants were created under the influence of the underground radiation source?"

"Yes."

The Olympic Sports Center started speaking about East Pole Island.

Initially, Heavenly Kingdom cultivated Mutants through a gu-raising method. Before competing, they would be given poison, determining their rank and fate; only the victor could survive.

Therefore, they had to fight fiercely, killing each other. The longer they delayed, the worse it was for the poisoned.

Through this cutthroat method of death elimination, Heavenly Kingdom selected many elite Mutants.

Only with the birth of A-grade Mutants was the situation changed.

"There were two athletes who were very impressive."

The Olympic Sports Center continued: "One of them was named Wu Gang, the other Zhang Zhi. They were immigrants from other places, selected and modified."

"After the promotion, Wu Gang stayed here, while Zhang Zhi went to the Outer Sea."

"Unfortunately, a powerful assassin was later sent from Heavenly Kingdom, which not only took out Dongji Duke here but also led Wu Gang to ultimately choose to self-detonate and take the enemy with him within my body... His consciousness integrated into my mechanics. That's why I know so much."

Zhou Yi felt a stir in his heart: "The lives that die inside a Building Life, their consciousness can be directly absorbed by you?"

"That's not how it works."

The Building Life explained: "Previously, many Mutants died during Competition, but only a very small part of their consciousness and memories could I obtain. They're mostly disconnected fragments, making it highly unlikely to get any meaningful and specific information. If lucky, I can piece together something."

"The whole process takes a very long time."

"But Wu Gang's death was unique; his consciousness after death was best preserved and could perfectly sync with me. It seems that only A-class life forms have sufficient strength to be relatively completely acquired. This has had a significant effect on me, contributing greatly to my growth."

Zhou Yi acquired a piece of cold knowledge.

Sacrificing an A-class life could significantly enhance the consciousness of Building Life.

It's just that the method is a bit costly for Skywalkers.

Zhou Yi collected his thoughts: "So you mean, you now have a lot of Wu Gang's memories?"

"Yes."

The Olympic Sports Center spoke in a solemn tone: "He was a warrior, and also an athlete who challenged limits. Not only because he dared to fight against stronger opponents but more importantly, he fought for other weaker ones."

"Wu Gang could have left. As an A-class life form, if he wanted to hide, it would be very difficult for Heavenly Kingdom to find him."

"But he led the local Mutants in rebellion and helped others gain freedom, freeing them from becoming flesh weapons. He sought independence and autonomy for Mutants so that they wouldn't have to live underground and in armories."

"So he didn't run away, but fought bravely alongside the Mutants."

"Unfortunately..."

Heavenly Kingdom's suppression was swift and bloody. Once determined, even Skywalkers would be crushed under the wheels of the Heavenly Kingdom.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but ask, "Why did Dongji Duke support Wu Gang's actions?"

"For resources."

The Olympic Sports Center explained: "Dongji Duke wanted Wu Gang to lead Mutants in forming an army to flee overseas and loot nearby areas. This way, Dongji Duke could ask for funds to 'eliminate bandits,' and Wu Gang would have more space to survive."

"Both sides could justify their actions and maintain a balance."

Zhou Yi suddenly realized.

The idea was to cultivate a threat as a means of control.

"Unfortunately, Wu Gang did not heed advice. He wished, by leading many Mutants, to control the underground Radiation sources, stop the deadly Competitions, and force Heavenly Kingdom to recognize their legitimate status."

"Then he was killed."

Zhou Yi listened with regret.

To still have unrealistic illusions about Heavenly Kingdom and to seek peace through peaceful means was difficult.

In this regard, Governor Dongji Duke had more experience.

Zhou Yi contemplated the situation.

Even though Wu Gang had acquired the power of a Skywalker, his mindset had not shifted at all. He continued to resist with the logic of a regular person, but his ideological shackles were not broken.

He hoped Heavenly Kingdom would recognize his status as a good citizen.

His awareness hadn't caught up with his rapidly increased power.

It was a pity indeed.

"Unlike Wu Gang, Zhang Zhi went to the Outer Sea and never returned."

The Olympic Sports Center said: "He chose a different path, one that Dongji Duke also advised, suggesting to go to the Outer Sea to broaden his horizons. There, Skywalkers can grow rapidly and also avoid being hunted by Heavenly Kingdom."

"Later, Heavenly Kingdom also attacked me. Although I am now incomplete, I'm not afraid of Skywalkers. Their attacks can't harm me, and if I catch them, they have to engage in forced Competition within my body."

"As long as I don't release them, they will be trapped in a cycle of Competition until their energy and life are drained... They want to take back the Radiation source that's used to create Mutants."

"That Radiation source is an energy supply for me, and I can convert it. One of the reasons I stay here is for that."

Zhou Yi seized on the key point: "You're not in a complete form?"

"No."

The counterpart introduced itself: "Originally, I had four parts: 'Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium,' 'Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Tennis Center', and the double pavilions of the 'Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium' and 'Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Swimming Hall.' Only when all four are together am I the complete Olympic Sports Center."

"Unfortunately, when I awoke, only this part remained. Due to a lack of many materials and insufficient energy, it's very difficult to construct the other three parts of the body, and I didn't undergo repairs."

Zhou Yi was astounded.

Even A-class strength was just an incomplete body.

No wonder Heavenly Kingdom couldn't handle it.

He got the gist of it.

Zhou Yi said, "I'll go and take a look at the underground Radiation source."

"Be careful."

He walked into the interior of the Olympic Sports Center.

The Sports Center looked the same as in his memory, except there was no turf, just a bare floor, and the spectator stands were empty.

In the center of the ground, there was a big hole, the entrance built up with brick into a square well.

Below was pitch blackness.
