Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 33: Retractable Fist! Every Punch Hit the Flesh!

Initially, Zhou Yi tried to practice boxing using some abandoned buildings on the seabed, but the effect was poor, with no signs of improvement at all.

Hong Shun told him: "Without sufficient confrontation and feedback, the combat species will be difficult to activate."

"When the combat type is under enemy attack, it will gradually change. Its energy structure will be partially twisted, torn and reorganized to adapt to the strength required by the body."

"After replenishing energy, the combat structure will be repaired again and again, and reconstructed in a direction that is more compatible with the body. Until it reaches the peak combat intensity that it can withstand, that is, it reaches the limit of its own structure, and then it can no longer increase its intensity further."

Zhou Yi felt that this sounded a bit like muscle building, and it would only be effective if the intensity was high enough.

He was a little confused again.

"You are a rescue aircraft, how do you know so much about combat aircraft?"

The drone said: "Rescue aircraft must understand the basic structure of life. Whether the person in distress still has life characteristics can be judged through light species."

"I am a senior rescue pilot with more than 10 working hours. I have participated in many rescue operations. Sometimes I get into trouble and get injured. It is normal for me to go to the rehabilitation center. In rehabilitation training, there are projects such as activation and reconstruction of combat species."

Red Falcon's words made Zhou Yi even more interested in Recursion City.

Once this side is completely stable and on track, I have to go over there to see the city created by the mechanical and electrical life forms.

Compared to the cave towns and semi-colonies of the new humans, perhaps that place represents the civilized area of the wasteland era.

After confirming the correct method, Zhou Yi led the warrior crabs to catch a bone fish first.

He started a duel with Bone Fish.

Retractable fist!
Punch to the flesh!

Bony fish also fight back with striking and biting.

The two sides were just weaklings, but the fight was quite lively.

After a long battle, Zhou Yi wiped the sweat off his face with his hands and let out a long sigh.

The bone fish behind him slowly fell down and broke into pieces of bones. The fish head took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Fortunately, I am more skilled.

Next!
I'll hit two!
Zhou Yi started to kill the fish with crazy punches.

……

Four days later.

Zhou Yi looked at his panel.

……

【Battle★★★】

Damage: 18-33
Cooldown: 3.45
Range: 7
"Stretch": Consume 30 energy points to stretch or shrink part of the body structure in a short period of time.

"Alertness": Due to the extremely high degree of control over the body structure, one can keenly sense the trajectory of the surrounding energy flow.

【Machine】

Health: 10000
Defense: 425
Energy: 2802
……

After reaching the maximum level, the strength of the combat type undergoes a qualitative change, and the damage reaches the level of black warriors.

However, the attack speed actually decreased, which was something Zhou Yi did not expect.

Red Falcon explained to him: "Normally, the higher the damage of an attack, the more energy and body structure it will call upon each time it is deployed, and the longer the reset cooling time will be."

That makes sense.

The biggest surprise for Zhou Yi was that after the combat species reached the maximum level, it also developed the [Alertness] trait.

This is also the result of further evolution of [Stretching].

He looked around.

The seabed was still thick with fog.

Occasionally you can see a glimmer of light inside, as if you are in a thundercloud.

But after mastering [Alertness], this layer of light fog barrier has become more visual.

Zhou Yi could see scattered white light, which continued to refract, overlap and collide in the Dead Sea, forming a strange light structure, just like a huge kaleidoscope unfolding before his eyes.

In the kaleidoscope perspective, there are some objects whose light is highly concentrated and not easily scattered.

This represents the Light Seed.

The white light bodies are low-intensity creatures such as bone fish and warrior crabs.

Green light bodies are more advanced monsters. Zhou Yi looked towards the upper area of the Dead Sea and saw many green light groups moving slowly in the Dead Sea composed of light fog.

From a kaleidoscope perspective, these advanced monsters and the death rays interact with each other all the time. Part of the death rays will be absorbed by them, but another part will be released by them, just like the exchange and breathing of energy.

Life is a highly contracted and clearly colored ball of light. After death, these lights will gradually dissipate and return to nature, merging into the light of death.

This is the visualization effect of [Alertness].

At this point, Zhou Yi had a basic small-range reconnaissance skill, and he no longer needed Hong Xuan to be by his side all the time to keep his vision open.

He said to the drone, "Go back to Recursion City first and do the upgrades and updates. Also bring me a few light boxes."

"Here are 166 light seeds. Use them first."

He handed the light box in his pocket to the drone.

The Red Falcon's mechanical claws grabbed the can-shaped light seed wallet and put it into its body.

It said: "Under normal circumstances, it takes at most 7 to 10 days to make an appointment for physical examination and inspection, complete the update and upgrade, and pass the safety test. I will return as soon as possible, please stay safe."

The drone flew high into the sky.

……

Ocean fishing came to an end.

On their way home, the warrior crabs discovered a strange place.

There is a large round hole under a dilapidated viaduct, right on the bridge pier.

Despite such a large gap, the pier body shows no signs of cracks or collapse.

If you throw something into the hole, it will first sink into it and then slowly bounce out. If there is no external force, it will be like a painted mural and will not cause any substantial impact on the surroundings.

Zhou Yi's [alertness] noticed something unusual.

A large amount of death light was sucked in, forming beams of light.

There is a layer of light at the edge of the strange cave, which appears a never-seen-before red color when [alert].

Zhou Yi pondered in his heart.

The danger level of this thing should be above that of a C-level monster.

I'll come back and see when I get stronger.

At present, the work is still mainly farming, fishing and repairing the Emerald City.

Zhou Yi ordered the warrior crabs to bring some rubble, cover the area around the cave, and mark it.

Then leave.

It was already noon the next day when we returned to shore.

Standing on the land with extremely high visibility, Zhou Yi felt refreshed.

Under the [Alert] ability, he could clearly see that there were also death rays here, but both the density and intensity were much weaker. They were evenly distributed in the air, illuminating everything.

After nightfall, the dead light on land becomes extremely thin and almost invisible.

Zhou Yi was not surprised by this.

The light-producing species always appear during the day, of course not because they like to bask in the sun, but to absorb the deadly light in the air.

That night, Gong Zheng came over to report something.

"Chairman, while you were away, I followed your instructions and read through the books you brought back. I found out how to control and repair the two strange instruments, and made some small attempts."

“Now I’ve got them started again.”

He smiled and said, "This device, called a 'light blocker', can block and insulate the energy of light nano species, and is very valuable. It is equivalent to a large trap for catching light nano species. As long as it is used properly, those monsters can be caught alive."

Zhou Yi was delighted.

The spoils obtained from the two alchemists under Ji Chang were finally cracked.

but.

What on earth is this trap used to catch?

Try catching a bonefish?

Come to think of it, I don’t know if bony fish can survive on land.
