Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 139 Is it really a genius?
After returning to the company's headquarters, Zhou Yi saw the tall Building No. 5 at a glance.

Its tall and broad body stood beside Maria Hospital. However, once the Emerald City approached here, it dominated all the bodies and made them return to silence.

There were also many residents watching curiously downstairs.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why didn't the little high-level people move alone like this after you went out?"

“They inherit my basic functions, but they don’t have any independent parts.”

Emerald City said: "The higher level has complete functions consistent with my own, so it has a stronger sense of self. Now I am sure that part of this self-awareness is innate."

Zhou Yi said: "Release the constraints on it and see what it will do."

"It has a high tendency to move and may damage the fragile life and farmland here."

Zhou Yi thought for a moment and said, "Then take it to an open hilly area. I'll have Hong Jian stay there to remind it to be safe. We can't keep an eye on it all the time, so we need to determine its characteristics."

Have you ever raised pigs or seen them run?

He's just an active kid.

Zhou Yi thought, he needs to see to what extent its ADHD is.

Led by Emerald City, Building 5 follows closely, like a shadow of Building .

After arriving at the mountainous area where the cave in Changgu Town is located, it resumed its quiet standing posture.

Zhou Yi ordered: "Let it move freely."

After a few seconds.

Building No. 5, freed from its restraints, slowly stood up and slid across the ground at a slow speed.

It walked to the nearest hill, and vine-like steel arms stretched out from the high wall, feeling around on the surface of the mountain, scaring away many birds.

In Zhou Yi's eyes, this was more like a child's habit of grabbing things with his hands.

It's just that this kid is a little too big and strong.

Building life has a unique high-strength body, and Zhou Yi is very concerned about the situation in Building 5. If it can be properly guided, its power will benefit and protect many residents. If it is not handled well, it may also become a giant killer that is rampant.

Building No. 5 fumbled around for a while, using part of its iron arms to grab stones, while the other part of its steel arms pulled a lot of soil from underground. It began to gradually build a square house with stones and sand.

Then came two, a third, and a fourth.

Then Building No. 5 connected and stacked these houses, completely fusing them with steel bars.

Bursts of white light flickered on its steel arms.

It built a four-story building with 16 households, and its movements became noticeably slower, as if it also felt the strain.

Building No. 5 circled the building twice, its many steel limbs baring their teeth and claws.

Zhou Yi asked: "What is it doing?"

"do not know."

Emerald City said: "At this time, it is running independently, and I can only get feedback after syncing with it."

Building No. 5 waved its steel arms at the structure it had built, as if performing some kind of ritual. As it performed its strange movements, the four-story building lit up with a faint red light and emitted wisps of white smoke.

Then nothing happened.

Only after the Emerald City was synchronized did we learn the whole story.

“It’s making weapons.”

"arms?"

Zhou Yi was curious: "Flying house bombing? But this doesn't look like it."

Emerald City said: "It's different from me. It reacts strongly to combat. I think it got a lot of combat awareness feedback when attacking Shell City, and the collective awareness of residents in the entire area was stimulated and affected..."

Zhou Yi confirmed it with it repeatedly and finally found out.

Different environments affect the information feedback released by residents, and these feedbacks will affect the life tendencies of the buildings born during this period of time.

That is to say, the architectural life born during the war period itself tends to be combat-oriented.

The architectural life nurtured in peacetime is relatively gentle.

The inclinations and atmosphere of the community residents influence the newly born life of the building.

At this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared on the ground.

Rumble!
The four-story building exploded, sending up a large amount of smoke and debris.

Half of the hill was blown to pieces by it.

Building No. 5 waved its iron hands like willow branches, looking very happy.

Is this the bomber?

Zhou Yi felt a little uneasy.

Emerald City commented on this: "It has found a new way to use the flying house bombing. After connecting the houses, it continuously applies pressure inside and then uses energy to detonate... It is more talented than me in this area."

Zhou Yi was a little worried: "If it doesn't know how to control its own power, it may cause the death of many innocent lives and even residents." "Don't worry, it won't."

Emerald City said: “Commissioner, it’s very disturbing.”

"Because I remember being injured many times. The first time was when I was parasitized by plant life outside the Mushroom Forest and fell asleep. Then I was attacked by warships in the Dead Sea. In the battle outside Shell City, I was also besieged and part of my body was damaged."

"These memories strongly stimulate it. It wants to create a weapon strong enough to prevent me from getting hurt again. Before it completely separated from me, it was a part of me. It protected me to protect itself."

“It hates insecurity and reacts particularly strongly to it.”

Through repeated conversations with Emerald City, Zhou Yi gradually understood.

This is equivalent to a child born in a war era. The memory of trauma accompanies childhood and adolescence, so it is easy to become tense and enter a combat state.

But the Emerald City said, "I can't teach it."

"I have no talent for fighting. It's better than me in that respect."

Zhou Yi was helpless.

Then all we have to do is to accompany them more and provide more guidance.

From that day on, Zhou Yi and Feicui Cheng would take Building 5 out for walks and wild strolls every day.

After arriving at the safe zone, Building No. 5, which was in a free state, began to build bombs.

Its initial direction was to expand the size of the bomb, connect as many houses as possible, and combine 16 four-story houses in pairs to bring greater detonation damage.

But this route was soon abandoned.

Building No. 5 chose a two-story, four-household structure as one unit, and installed them on its own exterior walls and roof, forming circles of illegal buildings, as if it was covered with a thick layer of external armor.

It faces the hillside ahead.

A red light flashed on the surface of the tall building, and one additional room after another ejected at high speed, firing at the target in a straight line.

After the dull explosion, the distant hilltop was almost razed to the ground, and the high temperature caused the blasting area to be covered with splattered glass.

Zhou Yi, who witnessed the whole process, gasped.

Not long after he was born, he transformed the flying house bombing into a missile salvo...

Is it really genius?
Every day, Building 5 creates explosive-like rooms fixed to the main body, and launches rocket-like bombings on imaginary targets. Although the range has not increased, the lethality and accuracy have greatly improved.

Besides building weapons and practicing bombing runs, Building 5 also enjoys patrolling along the Dead Sea.

It strolls along the beaches of the Dead Sea, avoiding pedestrians and dams, and runs parallel to the Emerald Avenue.

The burly tall building equipped with ammunition depots started from the residential area and arrived outside the port of Shagang. After a short stop, it returned all the way back to the residential area and resumed its quiet standing posture.

Patrol once during the day and once at night.

Day after day, never stopping.

People were a little frightened at first, but after a few days they realized that Building No. 5, which was even stronger than Building No. , patrolled the company's territory to protect everyone's daily safety.

Many people would wave at it, although the big guy couldn't understand.

But rain or shine, seeing the burly figure of Building 5 patrolling around made people feel at ease. The Glühner species on the Dead Sea were driven further away.

Zhou Yi saw all of this.

The addition of a warrior-type building life is a pleasant surprise.

However, apart from the strong desire for combat protection, other aspects of Building 5 are still blank and still need a long time to grow.

Zhou Yi was originally worried that the situation in Building 5 might affect the residents' living conditions. Because of their behavior, the water and heating will be stopped when they move, which makes life in Building a little inconvenient compared to other small high-rise buildings.

Building 5 also conducts target practice regularly, which is something the residents need to get used to.

As a result, as soon as he announced the trial stay, the number of applicants lining up to sign up was even greater than before, and Building 5 was in great demand.

Even many residents of Shagang City came and asked to be allowed to stay there.

“Very tall and strong, very safe!”

"powerful!"

“I feel like if I live in there, I won’t be afraid of anything!”

Both men and women like Building No. 5, which is located in Wuyunchanglong.

Zhou Yi still followed the usual practice of giving priority to the company's workers and farmers, and then selected the remaining vacancies from outside applicants through a lottery.

It’s just that the company has so many employees that there are very few vacancies for external employees.

The 33-story Building No. 5 also has 6 households per floor, each with three bedrooms and one living room, and two people living in each bedroom. The only difference from Building No. is that there is a shortage of materials related to the elevator, so it was transformed into a lifting stone platform that moves up and down, which also does not affect its use.

Within three days of the trial stay announcement, all 1100 residents in the building were filled.

Just as Zhou Yi and Feicui City continued to pay attention to this combat machine, a black iron ship came outside Feicui City and stopped on the pier of Yalong Bay.
