Wasteland Development Diary

Chapter 13: The Remains Underground


The Condenser flew above the large hole, projecting light that pierced through the darkness below.

Scouting for a moment.

It said, "Chairman, there are no other life forms inside. The radiation source is a kind of substance wrapped in a crystal container, and to avoid uncontrollable outcomes, I did not conduct a deep measurement."

Confirming there was no danger inside.

The exterior was sealed by the Olympic Sports Center, so there was no need to worry about being spied on from outside.

Zhou Yi walked down the well stairs.

The Red Kestrel and the Condenser acted as two sources of light.

The steps along the way were even and neat, with reinforced iron chains for protection on one side; the underground engineering was very solid.

About 10 meters from the ground at the bottom of the hole were arranged four elongated stone platforms, surrounded by rusted and broken iron chains, along with some iron boxes.

The more Zhou Yi looked, the more familiar it seemed: "Is this a Light Blocker?"

"Yes."

The Red Kestrel confirmed: "These are parts of the Light Blocker."

The stone platforms were used as operation tables fixed by the Light Blocker.

Zhou Yi asked for the brightness to be increased.

The Condenser immediately became a small sun, illuminating every corner of the cave bottom.

At this time, Zhou Yi saw that directly in front of the stone platform was a spacious corridor, at the end of which were two giant rusted, collapsed iron doors.

Deeper in, there were some dimly glowing objects.

Zhou Yi stepped through the doorway and then discovered a large crystal polyhedron, about 3 meters high, glittering under the light of the Condenser.

As he approached, Zhou Yi could distinctly feel life decay accelerating.

-5

-5

...

The radiation power had increased fivefold.

It was certain that the radiation source was this crystal polyhedron.

Zhou Yi observed closely and noticed that inside the crystal were embedded Heavenly People Gems, mainly in white, blue, and black, with two rubies as well.

They were interconnected, forming a structure akin to explosive splatters.

This place was a secret base of the Heavenly Kingdom for creating Mutants.

The method was also clear.

It involved using Heavenly Person Remains.

The crystal seal prevented the Gemstone and external contact, allowing the Gemstone Body to maintain its form and power in this world.

Zhou Yi thought to himself that he had learned something.

He placed his hand on the crystal and initiated consciousness synchronization.

Yet, he could not obtain any effective feedback.

Zhou Yi then activated the [Radio], switching to the strongest channel 5, targeting the Heavenly Person Remains.

Then, a series of inexplicable strange sounds emerged by his ear.

Unusual visions floated before his eyes.

Indeed, there was some information inside the Heavenly Person Remains, but these data were severely damaged, making deciphering very difficult.

Zhou Yi concentrated his power on the core's two rubies.

After a scratching noise in his ear, coherent information finally came through.

"Sequence."

"The most important is the sequence."

Zhou Yi found himself in darkness.

In front of him hovered four-color gemstones, each color of gemstone forming a sphere, slowly rotating around him.

The voice continued in his ear.

"Sequence."

"Transformation requires 1 black, 2 blue, 3 white. Remember."

Just as it said, three differently numbered gemstones flew out, connecting to each other to form a composite.

"Transformation begins."

Then Zhou Yi saw, floating in front of him was a human with an expressionless face.

The gemstone composite turned into a transformation tool; its White Gemstone emitted numerous fibers that penetrated the human body, beginning the transformation of specific organs.

Zhou Yi already knew these.

What truly astonished him was that the three-colored gemstone composite was actually a multi-functional tool.

The gemstone tool, as long as arranged in the sequence of 1 black, 2 blue, 3 white in a single line, acted as a powerful restraining device.

Pointing it at the transformed Mutant would release a ring of shockwaves, causing the Mutant's entire body to flicker with golden light, and its bones and internal organs were clearly visible under the light—the core mechanism stimulated the gem fragments inside the Mutant.

Zhou Yi thus recalled.

Originally, when Li Mo was fleeing, he was shocked by the Golden-faced Guard holding a metal rod, exactly as it appeared now.

It turned out that under the metal exterior of that rod was a gemstone tool.

...

Zhou Yi extracted himself from the Ruby.

The tutorial stored in this gemstone for cultivating and training Mutants enabled the Heavenly Kingdom to replicate it directly.

Four-color gemstones serve as basic units; through combinations of different sequences and structures, they can exhibit various functions.

He shifted his gaze to the second Ruby.

This time, Zhou Yi found himself reverting to the perspective of a Gemstone Body.

In the Sea of Gems, there was a large hole, deep within which was a squarely-built White Gemstone chamber.

Through the transparent walls, one could clearly see a pale, naked man inside, being transformed by White Gemstone fibers.

Another transformation tutorial?

Zhou Yi couldn't help but find it a bit dull.

But he quickly noticed something different.

This individual being transformed had a green glow over his whole body, indicating that all his organs could be completely transformed and enhanced.

The naked man was also being gradually transformed, becoming transparent throughout his body and highly fibrous physiologically.

This was the first time Zhou Yi had witnessed such a scenario.

Heavenly Dog could only transform three organs, and Li Mo, who was stronger, managed to transform five.

That voice continued to echo in his ear.

"Select individuals who can be fully transformed and bring them over."

"This is the most important thing."

"Remember."

The Ruby memory ended there.

Zhou Yi sized up the large crystal in front of him.

Both Rubies were video tutorials, instructing Heavenly Kingdom on how to create Mutants.

But most crucially, they were sorting out individuals whose full organs could be transformed.

Heavenly People had found a way to transform the new humans into glass men.

No wonder the incident at East Pole Island happened, Heavenly Kingdom swiftly carried out silencing actions, subsequently trying to evict the Olympic Sports Center, all in the name of secrecy.

Zhou Yi really wanted to take this crystal away.

After all, the number of Blue Gemstones inside was not small and could also be used to study the mechanism of the Gemstone Body.

However, reason told him it was best to leave it undisturbed here. Once the Olympic Sports Center left, Heavenly Kingdom would surely send people to recover it.

If they couldn't find the item, they would certainly pursue it relentlessly.

Since he had already clarified the most crucial core secret, the carrier itself became insignificant.

Zhou Yi made his way back to the surface.

"Let's set off now then."

"Alright."

The Olympic Sports Center, resembling a giant lotus, slowly elevated its metal supports and gradually moved towards Dragon Bay at the edge of the Dead Sea.

Once it departed, the dark, pitch-black well was exposed under the sun.

As two Building Life temporarily bordered each other.

Dragon Bay began to push away from East Pole Island, embarking on the return journey.

Zhou Yi returned to the couch in his home, discussing this matter with Xiao Fu.

"If the base size of life is large enough, some individuals can always be found that fit a certain evolutionary direction."

"Full organ enhancement in humans represents a complete transformation of the life structure, certainly in line with the Assembly's strength in transforming and reshaping life."

Reverse Flow said, "Heavenly People need to further perfect and expand their Ring Solar Wall, fully harnessing the sun's energy and information, requiring a large number of glass men to participate in the labor and assistance."

"From this perspective, their support and backing of Heavenly Kingdom is only too normal. A stable large country can continuously provide a large population, making it easy to select suitable life entities."

Zhou Yi thought silently.

That is to say, the company's development and Heavenly People's interests do not clash; they even share the same direction—that is to enhance the quantity and quality of the new humans.

This isn't bad at all.

Just one hour after Dragon Bay's departure.

A man and a woman appeared next to the large well at East Pole Island.

The woman still had cucumber slices on her face; she went in to inspect, then came back saying, "The key items are still here, basically intact, undamaged."

The man was playing a minesweeper game on his enhanced controller: "That's good, sufficient to report back to Black Emperor."

The woman looked towards the distant Death Sea: "However, it looks like the Deathmatch Arena is going to be excavated by Wasteland Development Company, just letting Zhou Yi take it away like this?"

"What else?"

The man yawned: "You think you can defeat that A-class Condenser accompanying him, along with the two Aliens? If you can, go ahead. I don't have such aggressive progressive ideas; I just want to take each day as it comes."

"Hmph, you're a notable Skywalker, how come you lack such ambition."

The woman grimaced, frustrated with his complacence.

"Those with ambition are up there, can only wish them an early transformation into noble Light Core Bodies."

The man pointed upward with his left index finger: "Right now, they should be having a thrilling fight with atmosphere creatures, truly stimulating and blood-pumping, but none of my concern. Hey, I just died, going back to gaming, you handle this side."

"Yikes."

The woman waved her hand: "Just talking, let's head back together. We are husband and wife after all."

"Don't mess around, we're already divorced."

"All these years of feelings are still there; I know you, tough on the outside, soft on the inside ... "

"Hey, hey, don't you run so fast! Just asking to borrow some money!"
