Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 85: Treasures from Another World
The Boundary Breaker is restricted by the constraints of the Dark Domain, just like having a charging cable of a specified length connected to its body, which causes its range of movement to be always limited.

Zhou Yi's tactics are simple.

Pull and consume.

Under his command and close-range physical seduction, with the Ridgehunter as the core turret, the Red Falcon and the Owl as combat radars, and the Samurai Crabs' poisonous kitchen knives and javelins thrown, the special forces and the Boundary Breakers fought fiercely.

The bad news is that the Boundary Breakers believe that Zhou Yi, the leader, is the key, and all their firepower is directed at him alone. Fortunately, Zhou Yi's health bar is now thick enough, so he can still hold on.

The good news is that it is indeed a glass cannon-like fragile object, and even the ranged attacks of the warrior crab can cause damage to it.

The [Investigation] skill of the Linxiao also played a huge role.

"Assessment has been carried out, and the loss rate of the Boundary Breaker has reached 7%."

"7.7%."

"7.9%."

……

Zhou Yi was giving orders while fighting against the Boundary Breaker, and only let the Warrior Crabs participate in a round of attack after the enemy's shock wave ended. Then he let them retreat to a safe range and weaken the enemy while maintaining safety.

As the main attacker, the death ray impact of Lie Hai's [Light Prism Exoskeleton] caused tons of damage to the Boundary Breaker.

The situation was unfavorable, and the Boundary Breakers frequently hid in the dark domain holes.

But it has to face the dilemma of its body being constantly cut off and further shrunk.

The black warriors collected the remaining limbs and took them away to prevent them from being re-glued to the Boundary Breaker.

During the ongoing confrontation, one double-sword fighter and four warrior crabs have been killed.

The Boundary Breaker's body damage rate is approaching 70%, and only two fingers are left to maintain the attack state.

As the battle continued, Zhou Yi became more and more familiar with the enemy in front of him.

Apart from having no defense at all, the combat power of this Boundary Breaker is highly related to the number of its fingers. Now it only has 1/6 of the destructive power of its peak period, and it is already difficult for it to defeat Zhou Yi.

The battle lasted for 37 hours, and the opponent finally couldn't hold on any longer.

The two fingers of the Boundary Breaker made a strange gesture - its two fingers were bent, somewhat like the starting position of the Mantis Fist. At first Zhou Yi thought, is there any other special skill?

However, the other party just maintained this attitude.

Neither the Red Falcon nor the Linxiao can confirm the actual meaning of the other. The Boundary Breakers are alien creatures, just like the Dead Sea aliens, they cannot communicate.

Zhou Yi had a guess.

He decided to give it a try.

Zhou Yi ignored the opposition and walked alone to the two-fingered mantis claw close to the Boundary Breaker and reached out to touch the other party.

The broken black hand did not overreact.

Energy, input.

Consciousness enters the same frequency band.

"Can we talk now?" Zhou Yi gave the other party a way out.

"..."

This time, the Boundary Breaker did not insist, but simply said, "What do you want from me? I don't have what you want, so why are you holding on to me?"

"Let's talk about them one by one."

Zhou Yi told the other party: "First of all, the bone fish on the seabed nearby were all raised by me. You killed them all, so you have to compensate for this loss."

"..."

"Then, the dark area you entered is surrounded by our company's building materials area. The chaos you caused has seriously affected the construction progress of our Emerald City and caused huge economic losses."

"..."

"Finally, five of my valuable employees died protecting this place. They were my loyal subordinates, and we also spent a lot of manpower and material resources on the battle. You need to compensate for all of this. Is that reasonable? If you can negotiate these things, you can continue to operate here."

"..."

The Boundary Breaker was silent for a long time this time.

"I'm just an ordinary poor explorer. Otherwise, I wouldn't come to such a dangerous coordinate to pan for gold. I don't have that much money to compensate you. In our eyes, you are all the same. You are all black monsters. I don't know what you are doing... I have never heard of explorers being able to communicate with the monsters here."

Zhou Yi's heart moved.

It seems that the boundary breaker from the other world calls himself an explorer. In the eyes of the creatures in the two worlds, the other party appears to be a black monster.

However, it is more important to sign the compensation agreement at the moment.

Zhou Yi didn't waste any words: "What valuables do you have? Take them out and let me see them."

The other party said, "I have not gained anything from coming here."

As if afraid that Zhou Yi would not believe it, the Boundary Breaker explained: "We explorers entered this gate to find the precious "Life Core". But after arriving here, I killed monsters tirelessly, but did not obtain a single Life Core. "

"It seems that there are no monsters in this area that possess life cores. It has not reached that level yet."

Zhou Yi asked: "It is a luminous energy body that contains a large amount of individual life information, right?"

"Yeah, that's it."

The Boundary Breaker said, "It's a pity that I didn't find any. I think you guys have collected them all."

"All my savings have been used to open the gate this time. If I can't get a life core, I will never have the chance to open it again after I return..."

Zhou Yi expressed sympathy for him.

The problem is that only B-level life can condense genetic seeds, and the threshold itself is very high.

"Why do you need genetic seeds? Is it to enhance yourself?" Zhou Yi asked.

The situation was stronger than the people, and the other party answered each question honestly.

"For survival."

"We need the life core of this world to promote the process of life. The stagnation of our world is much more serious than this world. Existing life cannot break through the death cycle on its own, nor can it continue to the next generation. Only the life core can help life continue and reproduce."

Zhou Yi was stunned when he heard this.

But listening to this, why does the life core sound like a new DNA?

Zhou Yi asked, "Only organisms with very high physiological structure and strength can have life cores, right?" "No, it has nothing to do with strength. We just need the life core of a new species. We rely on it to continue and reproduce."

However, the definition of reproduction is different from that in the wasteland. The reproduction of the boundary breakers is asexual. A single individual can reproduce offspring, but it must have a key catalyst, the life core.

The life core does not seem to be the same thing as the genetic species, but more like some kind of crossover.

Zhou Yi had an idea in his mind.

However, the issue of compensation must be resolved first.

"How much energy do you have in your body?"

The other party was puzzled: "Are you talking about fate?"

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Zhou Yi will say it is right first.

Then the Boundary Breaker spewed out a bunch of light seeds, illuminating the surrounding area. It also shrank and shrank, turning into a black soft body smaller than a palm.

Zhou Yi first used a light box to collect the light seeds.

Just over 31000 light seeds were bagged.

Together with the broken limbs that were collected and transformed, the total income from this battle reached 45000 light seeds. It not only made up for all the previous losses, but also was the largest income so far.

"What's your name?"

"Haluk."

"Then Haluk, the conflict between you and our wasteland development company is written off."

The other party was stunned for a moment, then said: "Okay, okay."

The underwater battle officially ended with Haluk paying compensation.

Zhou Yi looked at the palm-sized Boundary Breaker and said, "I have a new experimental project now, which is related to you Boundary Breakers. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Excuse me, what is it?"

The other party is a little cautious now.

Zhou Yi asked: "Can you leave the Dead Sea?"

"I don't know."

So he described the dead light environment.

"You mean the circular flow?"

Haluk responded: "No, we are circular beings, and we can only survive in the circular flow."

According to the Boundary Breakers, the Dead Sea is to them like oxygen is to prehistoric humans, and even a reduction in its content is a devastating blow. However, because they are circular life forms, they can quickly absorb the power of the dead light and condense a life force (i.e., light seed) to maintain a larger and stronger body.

For circular life, the strength or weakness of the body is more like a means of self-adjustment to adapt to the environment.

If the energy density of the circular flow itself is insufficient, maintaining the minimum state is the best strategy. Only when the density of the circular flow is extremely high can it support the operation and stability of a huge body.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but frown.

So how do you test your ideas?

He suddenly thought.

Isn't my body a special container?

If I swallow something and seal it inside my body, I don't know if it will work.

He said to Haluk, "Wait for me."

after an hour.

Zhou Yi went and came back with a thorny grass in his mouth. Due to its closed body, the plant was not directly exposed to the high concentration of death light, and maintained its grassy smell and astringent hard touch.

After repeated attempts, Zhou Yi discovered that his own body of Bai Suanni could indeed delay the radiation of the death ray, but it could not completely eliminate it. Therefore, he needed to race against time and bring it to the destination before the death ray decomposed the grass in his mouth.

Then he encountered another problem.

How to make Haluk come into contact with grass?
He told the other party about his experiment through the resonance of consciousness.

Haluk said: "This is not a problem. I can read it as long as I get close. The most important thing about the life core is the effective information inside. As long as you let me read it at a close distance, please rest assured that it is difficult for us to read a complex life like yours that is closed externally, unless we open it..."

Zhou Yi immediately understood. No wonder Haluk had hunted all kinds of creatures before.

For them, this behavior is like cracking open a nutshell to get the kernel. Before opening it, they don't know whether the kernel inside is good or bad.

He took the small black hand and brought it close to his face.

Then streaks of silver light appeared on the black hand again, as if its most basic line structure had been restored, and the shape of thorny grass gradually appeared on it.

Haluk in his Black Hand form began to tremble violently.

"This strange and precious information... Life Core, it's a Life Core!"

“It’s very well preserved, with such a wonderful morphological structure.”

"I can actually find the life core!"

"Can you give it to me? I'll give you your fate, as much as you want!"

Zhou Yi was also stunned.

I didn't expect it to be exactly as I guessed.

He had a detailed conversation with Haluk and thoroughly sorted out the whole situation.

As the boundary breakers, the circular life forms want the biological life cores that they don't have, but there are only light seeds in the Dead Sea environment.

If the Dead Sea Light Seeds are exposed to high-intensity death light for a long time, they will lose their ability to reproduce independently and need to continue to grow and evolve to level B in order to complete and perfect themselves.

This is completely different from the terrestrial photon species. Although the terrestrial population is much weaker, it is able to retain its reproductive capacity because it lives under weaker radiation.

The ordinary weeds that are inconspicuous in the wasteland world are treasures that the circular life forms pursue at all costs.

Zhou Yi remembered an old saying.

Those who suffer from drought will die from drought, and those who suffer from waterlogging will die from waterlogging.
