Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 219 Unexpected Visitor
Zhou Yi was unable to intervene in the competition between the time meters and could only wait patiently while ensuring the logistics.

After waiting for two days, there was no response from Rolex, but I received an unexpected news.

The tablet displays [Sha Hai Gong requests a call].

Zhou Yi clicked to answer the call.

The other party's voice suddenly came from the loudspeaker: "Mr. Zhou, there is a situation here. The representative of the Lord of Mie Ding, the Earth Official Ringo, came to Shagang City to find me and wanted to visit you."

Ringo?

Zhou Yi remembered that this octopus was in his memory of the Wuhu viaduct, and it was also a high-level official in Shuanghe area.

He came here on his own initiative during the war, apparently because of the pressure put on him by the double A lineup of Concentrator and Skeleton.

"Let it come."

"Okay, I'll send it over right away."

About half an hour later, a reinforced vehicle stopped outside the gate of Emerald City.

Lord Sha Hai brought a visitor in a black robe to 3101.

It waved its paw and said, "Mr. Zhou, this is Ringo."

Under the black robe is a mechanical body, with a pair of electronic eyes on the spherical metal head and eight long metal legs that can be folded and bent, like a mechanical octopus.

"Hello, Chairman Zhou, I'm sorry to bother you with your visit."

Ringo bowed slightly.

Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Please take a seat. It seems that you are sending an extension machine here."

"Yes."

Ringo sat on a chair next to him and said, "This is my first time in the Sand Harbor area. Unlike what was documented, the place looks completely new. This is of course due to Lord Sand Sea, but it's mainly because of your arrival that this place has undergone tremendous changes in a short period of time."

Lord Sha Hai said tactfully, "Then I'll go wait outside, you two can chat slowly."

After saying that, it walked out the door.

Zhou Yi looked at the mechanical octopus: "I still have a lot of things to deal with here, so let's make it short. Why are you here?"

"I am here on behalf of the Shuanghe region. I have a thorough understanding of your company's strength."

Ringo said, "If my judgment is correct, the two A-level beings that attacked the Shuanghe area should be related to you, right?"

Zhou Yi sat on the sofa and crossed his legs: "Yes, they are all employees of my company."

The mechanical octopus's electronic eyes flickered with a faint light: "Although your military force is very strong, you cannot penetrate the Shuanghe area with only two high-end combat forces. Otherwise, the group of sea lords would have been conquered and annihilated by the Kingdom of Heaven long ago, because no other party's high-end combat force can compare with the Kingdom of Heaven."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but become interested: "I'd like to hear more about it."

The other party said: "The strength of A-level life is unquestionable, and it is not possible to make up the difference by relying on the number of B-level life alone. However, there is no absolutely invincible ability in the world. Any ability has its limitations, or flaws."

"For example, the light collector you sent out has strong penetrating power."

"But if we deploy smoke interference and absorb the light fog from the Dead Sea to cover the area, we can effectively weaken the lethality of the condenser and interfere with its aiming."

"This is an effective countermeasure that has been tested in actual combat."

Zhou Yi listened quietly.

"Another A-level being in your company has the ability to make sand or dust."

Ringo said: "Whether it is sand or dust, there is a lot of data and experimental records. To cope with such ever-changing capabilities, it is necessary to configure corresponding isolation suits to prevent sand and dust from entering the body."

"In addition, using water can also greatly block and increase the consumption of this element's ability. Water is the restrainer of this element. Coincidentally, the ability of our commander-in-chief, General Shirahoshi, is related to water, and it is also A-level."

The mechanical octopus paused.

Zhou Yi said slowly: "I understand what you mean. You have a way to deal with these two employees of our company."

"Yes. A-level life has a mission more important than war. Please don't waste our core strength on this. It will be a loss for both of us."

Zhou Yi smiled: "Thanks for the reminder, but I believe in practice more than theory. Actual combat will give a more accurate answer."

"..."

The other party was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Mr. Zhou is really as difficult to deal with as the rumors say."

"Really? People who know me say I'm easy to get along with."

Zhou Yi spoke in a relaxed tone.

He didn't think the other party was bluffing.

Ringo was partly right.

Although A-level life is the top of the Inner Sea, it does not mean it is invincible. There is restraint between abilities, which Zhou Yi believes.

Just like Ji Hecang possesses extremely strong killing power, but it is difficult to destroy Wu Yi's sand body.

However, Zhou Yi's requirements are not high.

Even if it is not possible to make a final decision, putting pressure on the Shuanghe region and increasing local economic consumption will also be beneficial to the War of Honor.

"Mr. Zhou, we recognize the strength of your company, so I came here with the permission of General Bai Xing, hoping to reach some new consensus and agreement with you."

The mechanical octopus said: "We are willing to make the greatest concessions possible."

“As long as Shell City and its surrounding areas are all incorporated into the Shuanghe Region, this war of honor can be ended.”

Zhou Yi was so angry that he laughed.

The solution proposed by the other party was to cede land, and they thought it was a great discount.

How arrogant. "Then there's nothing to discuss."

Zhou Yi said coldly: "Keep fighting, we are not afraid of fighting."

"pity."

The mechanical octopus continued: "Then can we exchange prisoners?"

"We have captured two of your Beiyang Corps soldiers, and you have captured one of our mutants. We hope to exchange hostages."

Zhou Yi became alert.

The cession of territory and the ceasefire seemed more like a feint.

Bedouin captured a mutant alive, and only then did he know that this unit had a parasitic cluster mechanism in its brain.

It seems that this mutant still has high value.

"Let's talk about the exchange of prisoners after the war is over." Zhou Yi refused.

The mechanical octopus seemed to have expected this: "Okay then."

"The above is the mission regarding the Honor War. Next, on behalf of Lord Mieding, I would like to discuss something else with you."

"Oh? Please speak."

Ringo said, "Since you have A-level combat power, do you have any plans to develop other areas? I mean, the outer seas or... across borders?"

"The outer sea is now infested with atmospheric creatures, but this is also a good opportunity. If several Skywalkers can travel together, safety will still be guaranteed. The flow of air in many areas has been changed by atmospheric creatures, and some areas that could not be developed can now be explored."

"As for the cross-border, we have a high-level dark domain of good quality that can be used to cross the border safely through the channel. It is currently being used by General Shirahoshi."

"If your company is interested, we are willing to share with you. We can discuss the specific conditions."

Zhou Yi felt a little magical for a moment.

The two sides are still at war.

Two months have passed since the beginning of winter, and hundreds of people have been killed on the front line. However, Ringo came here to discuss high-level cooperation.

Zhou Yi said: "We are still in the war stage now, isn't it inappropriate to say this?"

"Isn't it appropriate?"

The other party seemed a little puzzled: "But this shouldn't have any impact. Isn't the core of the war a fight between the two sides for the right to rule over the land and civilians?"

"But no matter which of us wins, it will have no impact on our upper echelons. It's just an increase or decrease in existing bargaining chips."

"A-level life itself is on another level. Even if this area or the Two Rivers area is destroyed by a natural disaster, A-level life will still exist in the world."

"This war game between your company and us is over. No matter who is the winner, the fundamental strength of both sides remains. We are the players behind the scenes, aren't we?"

"It's nothing more than changing to another place and starting over. The ultimate goal of the strong is to go above the outer sea, or even to travel through the boundaries... There is no conflict between the two sides in this regard."

Zhou Yi understood a little at this time.

This is a disagreement on common sense.

I believe that a region is a community of interests from top to bottom.

In the wasteland era, different classes belong to the same camp, and A-level life belongs to the ruling class.

In the eyes of the governor or the lord of the sea, the lower-class civilians are not their own people, but merely laborers and tools to create wealth for them.

There is no concept of nation or ethnic group here.

So Ringo didn't care about the war.

Before, when Sha Haigong talked about running away, it was very natural.

After Zhou Yi figured this out, he came back to his senses.

From this perspective, it is not easy to create a kingdom of heaven.

Compared with these sea lords, the Black Emperor is indeed ambitious and has high moral principles.

Zhou Yi refused directly: "We'll talk about cooperation after the war is over."

Although the mechanical octopus didn't understand, it still said politely: "In that case, I'm sorry to bother you this time. Thank you very much for taking the time to meet me."

"Then I'll take my leave. I wish you a happy life."

The mechanical octopus was sent away by Lord Sha Hai.

……

This visit by the Earth Official Ringo touched Zhou Yi.

On the negative side, even Skywalker can hardly break the current wasteland order. Even a powerful nation like Heaven finally compromised and used the Governor System to ease regional conflicts and contradictions.

But on the bright side, the wasteland-style ruling method makes it difficult for civilians everywhere to have a sense of belonging. So they go wherever is good, and being captured or surrendering is also a very natural thing.

As long as the Shagang area continues to grow and develop, it will be easy to absorb external immigrants.

Offshore is not currently being considered.

There is also a dark domain here.

Zhou Yi thought to himself.

We can send two A-rank employees to explore the world of Dead Apostles.
