Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 120 Internal and external troubles
Chen Jiadong is an ordinary-looking man, about 20 years old, with medium-length hair and a black coat. He stood quietly outside the gate, waiting for the local owner's permission.

Zhou Yi asked Hong Shun to go over and take the young mayor into Maria Hospital.

In the ward, Chen Jiadong saw Sha Haigong with his eyes closed.

There was no expression of grief or sadness on his face, but he breathed a sigh of relief: "My Lord is still alive, that's good, that's good, Shagang can still be saved."

Zhou Yi spoke out Lord Sha Hai's password.

"The blue sky is full of wind and the thousands of fortresses are in sight."

When Chen Jiadong heard these eight words, his whole body suddenly tensed up.

His eyes were glazed over, as if some kind of switch had been flipped.

After five or six seconds, Chen Jiadong recovered from his trance, lowered his head slightly, and said in a meek tone: "Master, please give me an order."

Zhou Yi was a little confused.

What is the mechanism of this?
Are there still such things as spells in the wasteland age?

He immediately thought: "Is this password related to your enhanced body?"

"Yes Master."

Chen Jiadong said: "My enhanced body, the 'ear snail', is deep inside my ear and connected to my head."

He pointed at his ear hole and said, "The drum snail can help me filter out specific sounds. I can identify the sounds caused by the death ray. Whether it's the friction sound of the light nanoseed flying with the wind, or the contact between the limbs and the ground when the enhancer moves, the death ray will exchange and circulate with them at all times, so it will react to my drum snail."

He answered all of Zhou Yi's questions.

Chen Jiadong is like a human-shaped death ray detector, which can ensure the internal stability of Shagang City and detect external intruders in time.

The command given by Sha Haigong can make the enhanced body "Guwo" dormant for 12 hours, allowing Chen Jiadong to become an ordinary person during this period.

The reason for this is that Chen Jiadong was originally an enhanced person created by Lord Shahai. When performing the light print structure transplant and strengthening of his organs, Lord Shahai asked the production team to add a series of simple commands for easy control.

If it wanted to, it could even make Chen Jiadong's head explode instantly.

So when he heard the relevant instructions, Chen Jiadong understood that this represented the master, Lord Sha Hai - or Lord Sha Hai's substitute.

"The trade in Sand Harbor City has been affected to some extent during the winter, and some payments have not yet been completed. The total income during the winter is currently 2207 light seeds."

Chen Jiadong took out a light box from his pocket and presented it with both hands.

Zhou Yi accepted it directly.

I am now in charge of Shagang, so I deserve some pay for my hard work.

His main concern was: "What's the situation in Shagang City?"

Chen Jiadong said: "It will be stable in the short term. Sand Harbor has experience in dealing with external shocks, and the city also has sheriffs, guards, political officials, and arbitrators to maintain social order. However, this time the enhancers in the city already know that Lord Shahai has been severely injured, so it will sooner or later cause further fermentation. We need to clarify this matter as soon as possible to avoid internal unrest."

Zhou Yi repeated what Lord Shahai meant, and the other party suddenly understood: "Understood. Then after completing all your orders, I will go to the city to handle and announce it. As for Emerald City and Wasteland Development Company, Shagang City has always heard of it. If your alien is in charge, then the enemy will not dare to act rashly."

"Tell me about Lord Baili."

Zhou Yi began to study his opponent.

Chen Jiadong's eyelids drooped slightly, as if he was organizing his thoughts.

Then he said, "Mr. Baili's army has blocked the Dead Sea area in the north, causing our transport ship costs to increase significantly. Some cooperating cities have also turned to other ports for docking. The enemy's forces are further expanding the encirclement to both sides, squeezing our space."

"If this situation continues, there is a possibility that our northern shipping trade routes will be completely cut off."

"As a countermeasure, Lord Shahai also stopped all trade with Lord Baili, stopped buying steel and tools from him, and dumped all the chicken and cattail pollen that were originally exported to Steel Refining City to the southern cities."

"This winter, we were originally prepared to deal with a large-scale invasion by Lord Baili. However, the enemy launched a harassing attack on one city and three towns in the Sand Harbor area, causing the people to panic."

"The enemy's strategy of encroachment and pressure has continued to damage the Sand Port area. The territorial sea owners to the east are also further demanding an increase in trade taxes, and we are under continuous economic pressure."

"Another hidden danger is that some of the merchants in Shagang City have shown signs of wavering." "Although I haven't obtained definite and strong evidence, I have reason to suspect that many merchants have already sided with Baili Gong and are acting as his accomplices and spies. Therefore, before our guards and Tianjin Knights arrive, the enemy looters will always be able to escape..."

Zhou Yi frowned when he heard this.

Although Shagang seems peaceful, it is actually facing internal and external troubles and is in a precarious situation.

Lord Shahai had previously admitted that his military and overall strength were inferior to Lord Baili's. If he took the initiative to attack, it would inevitably leave the rear empty, leading to more serious consequences.

So Shagang was forced to be on the defensive.

In the past, there was no trouble because Baili Gong's goal was not in this direction, and the value of the Sand Port area was not high. As the strategy in other directions was blocked and it was difficult to promote expansion, Baili Gong turned his target to the weakest Sand Sea Gong.

Although Chen Jiadong is the mayor of Shagang, he knows very little about it, mostly about the city's economy and trade.

Zhou Yi asked him to go back and appease the citizens.

Then he found the kestrel.

"Is there any information about Baili Gong in the database of Recursion City?"

The drone's electronic eyes flickered.

"Have."

"Bai Li Gong is a B-class light-energy species "Fighting General". He evolved from a C-class light-energy species "Sea Warrior" and is a natural combat light-energy species. According to existing records, Bai Li Gong first led a group of sea warriors to occupy a small piece of land and built Shell City."

"Shell City is located 340 kilometers north of Shagang. The local Dead Sea covers the real ocean, and many shellfish grow nearby. Among them, white shells are high-quality bait for bonefish fishing, and corrugated shells can be used to carry light-printing structures, which is a good natural dead light material."

"The main industry of Shell City is exporting and selling these two types of shellfish, because they are both natural raw materials and the profit is not high."

Hong Falcon continued to introduce: "After establishing Shell City, Baili Gong plundered a large number of humans outside and sent them to Shell City to build the city, breed and sell shells."

"Not long after, it launched a war against the owner of the southern Steel Refining City, 'Duke Tiedu'. The war lasted for five years, and Duke Tiedu was defeated and killed. The one city and four towns under his rule became the territory of Duke Baili."

"Then Lord Baili sought to break through to the north, but the vast sea area there was occupied by the powerful sea lord, Lord Mieding, which made it unable to advance and also put it under tremendous pressure. This was probably the reason why he attacked the Shagang area in the south."

Zhou Yi seemed to be thinking about something.

Baili Gong's fighting power is stronger than expected.

From a military perspective alone, even if Lord Shahai is fine, Sand Harbor will probably not last longer than the Steel Refining City.

While thinking about it, Zhou Yi suddenly saw an electronic illustrated book pop up on the remote control screen.

The picture shows a four-armed monster covered in armor, with only a pair of eyes showing. He looks a bit like a muscle-enhanced and heavily armored version of the Ninja Turtle.

……

【Bai Li Gong】

Strength: B+
Skill: C
Vitality: B+
Grade: B
……

"Mr. Baili has extensive combat experience. This is the evaluation result after Recursion City collected his combat data. It is for reference only."

"What we need to focus on are the two skills of Baili Gong."

"【Brawl】——During battle, you can temporarily convert the damage you receive into defense, further improving your ability to withstand attacks."

"【Skillful Hands】——Can quickly master various tools, especially optical printing devices or weapons, which will produce special reactions with the body and exert excellent effects."

Hong Shun said: "Although these are two simple abilities, Lord Baili has developed them to a very high level. According to existing combat records, Lord Baili has used seven kinds of weapons. He is skilled in close combat and accurate in long-range shooting. He can use four weapons to fight at the same time."

Zhou Yi thought.

Baili Gong is worthy of being a sea lord who started out as a warrior. He has full strength and life, can fight and resist, and can use all kinds of weapons.

As an opponent, it is indeed difficult.
