Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 210 Second Round Life

Zhou Yi flew to the ruined bridge on the seabed on the Spine Hunter.

The long-lost big black hand grew here again, and the huge wide and flat fingers slowly stretched out, but this time there were only 8 fingers, different from the previous 12.

Zhou Yi started to synchronize his consciousness.

It's Haluk.

He felt relieved.

The Boundary Breaker who had returned said, "Zhou Yi, I'm back! I ran into a little trouble this time, so I came here to delay the time."

"It's okay."

Zhou Yi asked curiously: "Why are you missing a finger now?"

"The fewer branches of the projected energy form, the higher the degree of energy control and the more concentrated it is, and the stronger the entity is."

"The strongest one only has one finger?"

"Yes. But to that extent one is no longer bound and can cross the gate to truly reach other worlds."

Haluk explained: "But to reach that level, you need a lot of life cores, which is extremely difficult."

Zhou Yi now had an idea in his mind.

The fewer fingers, the stronger.

Just referring to the boundary breaker, it is the light core body.

[Alert] From the perspective, Zhou Yi discovered that Haluk's eight fingers were a rich purple with some small black dots floating inside.

Around the Boundary Breaker, the space showed a certain degree of red distortion.

Even if cross-border projection can only transfer 10% of the energy, Haluk is currently an A-level life.

"It's all thanks to the Life Core."

Haluk's tone was also relaxed: "Zhou Yi, the life core you gave me allowed me to escape the previous destruction cycle and officially enter the next growth cycle."

"We have two cycles. The first is the growth phase, which allows for continuous improvement. The second is the destruction phase, which allows for continuous weakness. Now I have jumped out of the destruction phase and entered the second growth phase. I am ten times stronger than before!"

"Zhou Yi, how many cycles do you have?"

Without the pressure of survival, the Boundary Breakers obviously became much more relaxed, and even began to be curious about the way of survival here.

"Similar to you, but reproduction is a little easier than yours..."

Zhou Yi also briefly talked about the situation of human beings.

Haluk was shocked by this.

"Your talents are so strong... We cannot reproduce on our own, and can only produce an offspring by fusing with the life core."

"In fact, this is a choice. Use the life core to continue to live and escape the cycle of destruction, or use the life core to breed a brand new next generation."

"We all basically choose to continue our own lives. Reproduction is a very luxurious thing. Only the richest and most powerful can afford it."

Then it tells the reason for being late.

"After I returned, I began to absorb more energy to cross the cycle. During this period, I encountered a destroyer. It chased and entangled me all the way, and I had to find a way to get rid of it."

"Destroyers are circular life forms that have entered a cycle of destruction. They are my kind. However, because they are on the verge of destruction, they become very crazy and out of control, and often attack other of their kind indiscriminately."

Zhou Yi understood.

It's just a person with a terminal illness who is twisted and takes revenge on society, hurting people indiscriminately.

"I and another second-round lifeform subdued it together and calmed the destroyer down."

"The second cycle is what we call it. It means that life like me jumps out of the first cycle and enters the second cycle. After going through several life cycles, it is called the first cycle. It is said that life in the fourth cycle can enter other worlds and travel."

Haluk briefly explained his hometown word, and then continued, "The destroyer finally woke up. It knew it could no longer continue, so it chose to self-destruct before losing control. Before it actively destroyed itself, it told me a situation."

"The Destroyer said that it was controlled by an invisible monster. It could feel that the monster was right next to it, but it could not see or touch it. The monster was dominating its consciousness, making it crazy and murderous."

"In the past, I only knew that I needed to keep a distance from my own kind and not to look at or provoke each other, because this could easily lead to fighting. So in my hometown, everyone stayed away from each other, not wanting to cause trouble and fall into a vortex of death..."

"After two weeks of life with Jadeite, the man who helped me defeat the Destroyer, I realized that there is more than just us in our world. There is also a terrifying monster called the "Dead Apostles", who enjoy killing and torturing us."

Zhou Yi was a little surprised: "There is no other life in the circle you are in?"

"No."

Haluk said, "At least I haven't encountered it. The Dead Apostles only learned of their existence indirectly in the second and third rounds after a large number of Destroyers went crazy."

"They are stronger than us, but more like a kind of advanced existence looming over our world... We are actually being watched and controlled from behind by them. I was also shocked to learn this."

"Ordinary first-order beings don't know this, because even if they knew, they would be helpless and would only increase panic and madness. Only those who have reached the second order are qualified to be told this secret."

Zhou Yi thought of it immediately.

The Earth in today's wasteland era seems to have something in common with Haluk's side.

He couldn't help but ask: "There is a group of advanced life forms here... Is the situation similar over there?"

Haluk thought for a while and said, "They are different. If we also have Celestial Beings, then they should at least appear. But ours are Dead Apostles who cannot be observed or understood. I think they should be two different groups."

After this conversation, Zhou Yi and Haluk felt that they had a common suffering.

Everyone's world is controlled by the higher life forms behind the scenes. It's just that one side is the Celestial Being, and the other side is the Dead Apostles.

“Survival is not easy.”

Haluk sighed: "I thought I had escaped the cycle of destruction, but I ended up seeing another true face of the world... It seems I still need to strengthen myself, otherwise no matter which world I go to, it will be difficult in the end."

Zhou Yi quite agreed with this.

You have to rely on yourself for everything.

"Haluk, are there any other boundary breakers coming to your circular world?"

"Have."

Haluk said without hesitation: "The Boundary Breakers come to our place mainly to obtain the firewood mounds. Since there are not many of us, we don't need so many firewood mounds, which are everywhere. The outside Boundary Breakers like them very much."

Zhou Yi fell into deep thought.

The space bubble connects the two world spaces. It is just a fixed channel that will attenuate itself, but there will be no spatial changes.

In other words, the world of the Dead Apostles where Haluk is located is connected to the wasteland world here.

Haluk and the others came over from that side, looking for the life core.

The wasteland creatures passing by here are heading for the firewood mound over there.

After Zhou Yi figured this out, he suddenly became enlightened.

No wonder Skywalker here wants to cross over to that side.

This is like going abroad to get goods under the blockade of nature.

Zhou Yi summoned Unit 2: "Can we go to other worlds to collect firewood?"

After Suneo synchronized the relevant information, he said, "Of course. A firewood mound is a firewood mound. It is a highly concentrated polymer of information and matter. As long as we can collect the required parts from it, it will be fine."

"Circular Flow is a powerful high-level energy, and the Fire Mound is the information surface created by this energy breaking through the dimension. As long as you find the Fire Mound, you can enter the inner world through the Fire Mound and expand your consciousness key."

Zhou Yi was surprised: "You speak a little more normally now than before."

"I wasn't used to your information expression before, and I am gradually learning about this world. In order to better cooperate with you, I have been learning and adjusting my expression system."

Xiaofu said seriously.

"Hard."

"It's no big deal. We, the tracers, are good at technical breakthroughs. I have seen many civilizations. Whether they are intermediate or advanced civilizations, or low-level civilizations, we can decipher their civilization information systems. The circular flow technology is truly high-precision and extremely complex..."

Before it could say a few words, it started bragging about itself out of habit.

Zhou Yi decisively shut it down.

He turned his attention back to Haluk.

"Are there many boundary breakers going to your place?"

"not much."

Haluk wiggled his eight fingers and said, "It's mainly because they can't compete with us at Jiemen. The strength of the circular current on your side is too low, making most of the life forms very weak. This may also be the reason why there are so many lives here."

"I'm not used to it after I came here. The energy density here is only about 2% of ours."

Zhou Yi was surprised.

The energy density of the death light in the world of the Dead is 50 times that of the Dead Sea here?
No wonder Haluk and the others felt it was easy to reach A-level. Even a poor first-round life like Haluk was at Skywalker strength.

Zhou Yi thought to himself.

Once the Concentrator and the Skeleton Five come over, we can let them try to go to the world over there and get the Salary Mound Enhancement with the help of Haluk. Anyway, there are more Salary Mounds over there.

Zhou Yi repeated his plan.

Haluk said it was no problem.

"Pay piles are everywhere. They are not rare."

Hearing about the war of honor here, the Boundary Breaker was also willing to participate in it: "If your enemies come near here, tell me and I will kill them."

"Also, my ability to collect fate... no, light seeds has also greatly increased. I will soon be able to collect the 5 light seeds I owe you."

It paused for a moment and said cautiously: "If this part is complete, can you give me another life core?"

"of course."

Zhou Yi raised his finger and said, "We have said before that the price is clearly marked, 1 life core is 10 light seeds. Our company will not raise the price casually."

"Great! I'll go collect them now!!!"

After saying this, the Boundary Breaker suddenly opened his body and turned into a huge black curtain, extending in all directions and began to collect energy to create light seeds.

Zhou Yi was also very satisfied to see it working hard.

Get it done.

Go home and continue the hot pot.
