Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 267: Spying on People in the Crystal
Deep in the sea of ​​fog.

Zhou Yi was sitting on the deck of the Poseidon, with the skeleton man Wu Yi next to him who was trying to identify the direction.

The concentrator, Jihekura, is suspended above the submarine.

Red Falcon also participated in this operation as information support.

Wu Yi said that the burial area is in a group of underwater mountains, but the exact location can only be determined after getting closer. It is located directly east of the United City and is submerged by a large amount of water.

The concentrator quickly locked onto the target area through ultra-high-speed moving measurement.

It was a strait filled with real sea water and was also a natural high-pressure area, which was consistent with the characteristics of the waters of Wu Yi's hometown.

The concentrator discovered a strange energy reaction under the mud on the seabed. The reaction was very weak, but it had strong radiation ability in a small range.

It projects the seafloor environment, outlining a cluster of crystal structures in the air.

"This is it!"

Wu Yi said with certainty: "This is what she looked like when I buried her."

Arrive at the destination.

Zhou Yi switched to Unit 2 mode to deal with the permanent damage to the defense caused by the high-pressure field.

Wu Yi used his sand control abilities to open a stepped passage through the mud.

"I'll go down first."

The skeleton man took the lead and walked inside.

Zhou Yi followed closely behind.

The Black Water Ghost activated his defenses early in the morning; he was not worried about being attacked like the Skeleton Man in the past.

Going deeper, Zhou Yi discovered that this was a wide underwater pipeline. The bend ahead was covered with translucent crystals, blocking the way.

The Skeleton stood in front of the crystal block and said, "This is it. She's gotten bigger."

Hong Jian used his electronic eyes to identify it: "This is quartz, which can also be considered glass. Judging from its structure, it is a man-made product."

It was the glassmakers who created the quartz that clogged the pipes.

Zhou Yi immediately thought of the mutant manufacturing device stored by Heaven in the underground base of Dongji Island. The core was a small part of the gem body of Heaven, which was also sealed with crystals.

The gemstones of the gods will quickly turn into sand when exposed to the natural environment here, but they can be preserved for a long time if they are sealed.

I think this is a way for the glass man to protect himself.

for safety.

Zhou Yi said: "Wu Yi, move aside and let Jiong Hecang do the cutting."

The skeleton took a step back.

The green light emitted by the concentrator cut the outer layer of quartz. When it extended about one meter inward, a human figure appeared faintly in the inner layer of quartz.

Then the light knife of the concentrator became much more cautious and began to chip away the quartz layer bit by bit, trying not to touch the core area.

Gradually, the person in the crystal became clear.

It was a long-haired woman, about twenty years old, with eyes closed, and clear female features. Her whole body was translucent, with dense glass blood vessels, but no internal organs, like some kind of grotesque work of art.

It was very similar to the glass man Zhou Yi had seen.

The difference is that the glass man in Tianren’s memory is more integrated with the gem. Except for the head, the whole body is covered with gem fibers.

The woman in front of me looks more like a human.

Are there different branches within the Glass Man?
Zhou Yi was thinking about it when he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.

The woman in the quartz opened her eyes at some point, and a pair of light blue eyes were staring straight at her.

All of a sudden, Zhou Yi felt a buzzing in his head.

Everything stopped moving.

The floating dust solidified in the air, and my mind seemed to be stuck by some force.

This situation lasted only a moment.

Then it returned to normal.

"It is indeed a disruption to the time of consciousness. This guy's ability is in the realm of consciousness and will directly affect the biological clock."

"But it's useless in front of the world."

The black water ghost on the wrist said.

Zhou Yi then noticed that inside the pipe where he was, black dials appeared on the walls, floor and ceiling.

The white pointers above are rotating at different speeds, and some are even moving in the opposite direction.

A small spherical sun was floating above Zhou Yi's head, displaying a pointer and scale.

Under the unification of solar time, many pointers began to calibrate and return to normal.

The power of standard time enveloped the entire area, allowing the Concentrator, Wu Yi and Hong Kun to recover.

"Incredible ability." The Red Falcon's camera glowed faintly.

"That's the feeling. It was like that in the past and that's why I can't remember it." Bone Man said with lingering fear.

The Concentrator also said seriously: "This ability is very strange. I have also been greatly affected. It's like I can't resist it at all."

Zhou Yi stared at the woman in the quartz crystal.

At this moment, her eyes looked somewhat dazed and lifeless.

Zhou Yi knocked on the glass with his hand: "Hello, hello? Can you hear me?"

The other party remained motionless, just staring at him.

Zhou Yi turned on the radio.

There were some small noises in there, but no other information was captured.

So he started the old process.

Energy input.

feasible.

Consciousness is in sync.

success.

"Can you hear it now?" After a while.

A voice came from the other side: "I can hear you. Are you a god?"

God?

Is this what the gods meant?
Zhou Yi neither admitted nor denied it. He was ready to test it again.

"Why are you here?"

"It's the command of God."

"What were your orders?"

"Let me come back, back to the village, but I can't go back. I can't move my body."

Zhou Yi was a little surprised.

It sounds like she is actually human.

In other words, she was a glass man who was chosen by the gods and taken away for transformation.

Zhou Yi thought for a moment and asked, "What's your name?"

"Iron."

"can you see me?"

"I can't see. My eyes stopped seeing when I was offering sacrifices. I can't hear either. I can only feel the light with my body. You give me the feeling of a god."

"Since you have been transformed and strengthened, why were you demoted?"

"This is because..."

The other party hesitated for a moment, but still answered: "I am not good at anything."

"At first, I was sacrificed and sent to the kingdom of God. After the gods transformed me, my appearance changed and my whole body became like crystal."

"Then I was taken to a black space by the gods."

“He commanded me to bear children.”

“But I can’t give birth.”

Zhou Yi: “…”

Giving birth to a child is not something that can be done alone.

No, that's not right.

Zhou Yi suddenly came back to his senses.

The Celestial Beings are the rulers behind the wasteland world, so it is impossible for them not to know how humans reproduce. In other words, the Glass Man was able to reproduce on his own in the past.

So after transforming the new humans into glass men, Tianren wanted to continue this method.

It failed.

One thing that can be confirmed at the moment is that glass people and new humans are indeed two different intelligent species.

After Zhou Yi figured it out, he asked, "And then?"

"I couldn't give birth to a child, so the gods sent me to another place. It was pitch black, and there were chains made of huge gems. We were placed there."

"There are many sacrifices like me out there."

Tietie said: "We cannot talk to each other. The gods forbid us to talk. If we violate this rule, we will be killed. I saw a few people talking secretly, and they were stuffed into the wall and died."

"At that time, I was sitting on the chains, but in the end no god chose me. There were other sacrifices around me who were chosen. They turned into light and were taken away."

"I was very sad at the time. All the sacrifices around me were chosen, and I was the only one left. Why didn't they choose me? I didn't understand. But later I realized that the gods were very foresighted in not choosing me."

The girl said with a frustrated tone, "I waited in chains for a long time, and finally the gods took me back and sent me to build the long wall."

"That wall is endless, and it's made entirely of glowing crystals. We, the sacrifices, are there to build the wall, connecting the crystals one by one, fixing them with our bodies, and then checking if there are any abnormalities before continuing to connect the next piece."

Zhou Yi further confirmed: "You mean the wall made of four-colored gems?"

"Yes! You know, you are indeed a god."

She said, "As you know, repairing a wall is actually a very hard job. While we are building the wall with crystals, we also have to check for damaged areas and repair them."

"But when I was repairing the wall, I made mistakes and it collapsed several times. Then the gods took me away because I couldn't even repair the wall."

Tietie sighed: "I originally thought that I would be filled into the wall, but the gods were very tolerant of me. He forgave me and said that I was born with a defect that made me easily distracted and dazed, and it was not due to my subjective laziness and disobedience..."

“He finally decided to let me go because I couldn’t do anything right.”

"The last order the gods gave me was for me to go back to the village and rely on my own luck."

"Then I was dropped from the sky and crashed somewhere. But when I came back, I was blind and couldn't hear anything. I didn't know what was happening outside."

"What happened outside, Lord God?"

Zhou Yi stroked it.

The celestial being first finds a suitable individual, transforms him into the form of a glass man, and then checks whether he has the ability to reproduce. If not, he enters the next link in the gem chain.

This part sounds like a product display? Or is it a place for other gods to choose from?

If you are eliminated at this step, you will fall into the stage of wall repair.

The four-colored gems built a wall around the sun, and it was indeed built by the Glass People.

People like Tietie were actually eliminated in the glass man selection and were thrown back into the wasteland world.

Zhou Yi told her: "I will transform you into an energy state so that it will be easier to obtain information."

"Okay, please do as you please."

Tietie is very cooperative.

Then Zhou Yi started the Poseidon and used the Circular Light Instrument to transform her into a fire life, and also added the profile of a long-haired woman on his shoulder.

The transformation of the spark of life is complete.

Zhou Yi immediately connected and retrieved it.

Tietie is very obedient.

Then, Zhou Yi immersed herself in her past life.
