Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 71 Caged Bird

Zhou Yi went downstairs personally to receive the first group of customers who came to visit Jade City.

"Welcome, welcome, everyone feel free to look around."

Qiansu wore the purple wool hat Zhou Yi gave her and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, Emerald City is home to the real Dead Sea aliens. The second generation of aliens it bred is actually openly allowed to live in... I came here twice, but didn't hear any news. If I hadn't stopped at Sand Harbor this time, I would have almost missed this opportunity."

Zhou Yi said: "This opening was also a decision made not long ago."

In order to facilitate the outside world's understanding, the propaganda tone of Building 2 was finally determined to be the second-generation Alien.

Qian Su looked at the two companions beside him, and then focused his attention on Zhou Yi: "Mr. Zhou, can you briefly talk about why you are willing to open up this rare resource?"

"For the money, of course."

Zhou Yi said with a righteous look on his face.

The young businesswoman was stunned, while her two companions started laughing.

"Chairman Zhou is straightforward."

"really."

Zhou Yi smiled slightly and introduced to the three people: "Building 3 of Emerald City is about to be completed, and Building 4 has also started. Although these are the offspring of the Dead Sea aliens, they are just like babies born from various life forms. They are still in a confused state and have no other consciousness."

"After some attempts, I found that these harmless high-rise buildings are perfect residences. I believe everyone knows that the Dead Sea Alien grows very slowly. Baby Aliens like this are completely harmless for at least a hundred years. Because they can sleep and absorb the death light of nature."

One of the men, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a windproof hood and a black coat, looked up at Building 2 and said, "Indeed, it is much smaller than your Emerald City Building. But it is an alien after all, and a baby is so big."

He continued to express his opinion: "Such special-shaped high-rise buildings are a novelty and fashion for most people. If promoted, they may become a new winter trend in the Shagang area."

Qian Su took this opportunity to introduce, "Mr. Zhou, this is Boss Sha. Boss Sha is a well-known businessman in Shagang, with connections in all walks of life. If you want to find someone in the Shagang area, or deal with some special goods, you should find Boss Sha. He is a know-it-all in Shagang."

"I dare not say so."

Boss Sha smiled and said, "I just want to make a living and rely on everyone's help. Businessmen are businessmen. In this line of work, everything should be discussed together. Chairman Zhou is a real strong man. In just a few months, he has turned the town of Changu upside down. Please give him more help and care in the future."

Zhou Yi also replied: "Boss Sha, you're welcome."

He used [Alertness] to observe that the two people brought by Qian Su were emitting a faint white light.

They are all enhancers.

"And this one, Senior Zheng Tao."

Qian Su walked to the other person and said with a smile, "Zheng Bo is a senior grain merchant. The grain he handled has entered dozens of cities. Mr. Zhou likes to eat, so he should get along well with Zheng Bo. Zheng Bo also likes to study food."

"Oh, that's something we need to talk about."

Zhou Yi looked at this Duke Zheng.

He was the oldest of the three, looking to be in his sixties or seventies, with grey hair and beard, and age spots and wrinkles on his face.

The old man was wearing thick clothes and a felt hat, his eyes were a little cloudy, but he looked very kind when he smiled: "Hello, hello."

Qian Su said, "When he was young, Zheng Bo led a caravan to travel all over the country and survived many near-death experiences. Now he is 44 years old, but he is still very interested in new things. After hearing about the Emerald City, he took the initiative to join us."

The old man then said, "I want to live here in the winter, is that okay?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "Of course."

He sighed in his heart, people in the wasteland era really look old. They are still in their prime, but they look like they have been retired for many years.

According to age, I should actually call him Xiao Zheng.

"Thank you."

The old man smiled happily: "I like quiet places when I get old. I heard from Qian Su that it is very warm here and no one will bother me. It is very suitable for me. I wonder how much it will cost?"

Zhou Yi didn't expect the other party to be so direct, so he simply said: "Because it is a trial stay, Jade City Building 3 will not charge any fees this time. You only need to pay some seeds, which is also used to improve the current problem of Jade City's lack of green plants for decoration."

"Oh, this is good."

Zheng Bo came back to his senses and said, "As for seeds, I still have a lot at home. I'll find some that are suitable for the environment here and try to grow as many as possible."

He had already determined his intention before even viewing the house.

Zhou Yi took the three of them to visit the model room in Building 2.

There are still a few vacant rooms here, which is no different from Building 3 which is under construction.

Zheng Tao likes the lighting, heating, hot and cold water, and simple toilet very much: "As people age, they are afraid of cold and heat. Wearing too much makes them fall easily. Sitting by the fire at home makes them feel dry and choking. This place is good, and the comfort is just right."

Boss Sha stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, looking at the Dead Sea in a trance.

From this angle, you can see the monsters in the fog still fighting. "Great, great!"

Boss Sha stared at the life-and-death fight on the Dead Sea: "Watching the fights and hunting between the light-species up close is so exciting to watch throughout the winter. It's much better than those artificial arenas!"

Zhou Yi was suspicious.

Could it be that this person likes this?
However, humans have been watching cockfighting, dog fighting, and cricket fighting since ancient times, and now there seems to be nothing wrong with new humans watching monster fights.

"Chairman Zhou."

Boss Sha turned around and did not hide his excitement and joy: "This is a baby alien, which means that it will be protected by the Emerald City as a parent, right?"

"good."

Zhou Yi ordered in his heart to drive the monster away.

After Building 1 in Emerald City received the order, flying houses nearby rose from the ground and started a round of small-scale bombing warnings to the monsters fighting around the edge of the Dead Sea.

After the daytime fireworks.

The crowd over there ran away immediately, and the scenery outside the window returned to tranquility.

"Just like this, the monsters near Emerald City are now very well-behaved."

Zhou Yi explained briefly.

Boss Sha next to him murmured to himself: "This is the feeling. This is the feeling I want."

He restrained his expression slightly and said solemnly: "Chairman Zhou is obviously a great man born into an extraordinary family. You may not understand that ordinary people are very scared and powerless when facing the Light Seed. Even if they have a huge fortune and guards by their side, they still cannot predict their life or death when encountering the Light Seed."

"Even if most people have the corresponding resources and financial resources, they cannot complete the high-pressure training of the Enhancer, nor can they endure the pain and rejection reactions of the Enhanced Body. They also need to take medication regularly... After all, the human body is fragile."

"To the powerful Light Na species, humans are just ants that can be crushed to death at any time. They are high above us, passing by the city, looking down on humans like a bird in a cage."

“Ordinary people’s fear of them has turned into an instinct to escape.”

"But here."

Boss Sha walked to the French window, spread his fingers against the glass, and poked at the Dead Sea in the distance through the glass: "They are the ones being watched."

“This kind of experience is worth every penny.”

Zhou Yi vaguely understood something.

……

The other two were free to visit Building 2, and Zhou Yi finally had the opportunity to learn about the situation from Qian Su.

"Mr. Zhou, the townspeople you hired were handing out flyers everywhere. It was really generous. The paper was expensive. There was a rush to buy them because the paper itself could be reused."

"I took the opportunity to recommend it and brought these two over to have a look. I didn't expect you to be serious about it."

Qian Su chuckled, then whispered, "These two are not ordinary people."

"Boss Sha is the nephew of the former mayor of Shagang, and he specializes in black market business."

"Zheng Tao's situation is more complicated. He used to be a grain merchant in Tianjin, running a farm and grain business. As he got older, his health deteriorated. It was said that he had a terminal illness and would not live for more than two years. He came to Shagang to spend the last years of his life, but many people were eyeing his inheritance... which made him very unhappy."

The girl said, “He came to the Emerald City to finish his journey quietly.”

"Both of them have considerable influence. After they move in, it will be helpful for publicity."

Zhou Yi immediately understood what was going on.

"Thanks a lot."

Qian Su hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "Mr. Zhou, I have always been a mobile businessman, without a fixed location, and I also hope to have a place to live here."

"Usually, Mission and I go around delivering and buying goods, but we come back for a few days every month so that customers can find us."

Zhou Yi felt that this was no big deal at all.

The other party has helped a lot, so I have to express my gratitude.

He said: "I have reserved an apartment for you, either building 2 or building 3, you can choose the floor yourself, you can come and live here anytime, you can use it for business or a combination of business and living. Unlike those temporary residents, the house is reserved for you no matter when you come."

Qian Su immediately smiled and said, "Thank you! You are still as generous as ever! Then I will choose the room on the left side of the first floor near the gate in Building 3."

In this way, Qiansu Shop officially settled in Emerald City.
