Wasteland Development Diary

One day, mist surged beside the Yalong Bay pier, and a broad, gray back surfaced.

"The ship is here."

Doom Lord said, "Everyone, take your tickets and board."

Zhou Yi took out the ticket from his pocket.

The ticket was made of some kind of light red carapace, looking like a donut made of shrimp shells.

The ferry of the Forbidden Continent was a gray whale.

The whale in front of him was over fifty meters long, undoubtedly an adult.

The gray whale opened its bloody mouth, extended its light red, wide tongue, with darkness beyond.

Zhou Yi and his group entered inside with their tickets.

As the whale's jaws closed, it became pitch black all around.

"Wait a moment, we'll be at our destination soon," Doom Lord said.

Everyone waited quietly.

Zhou Yi felt some tinnitus, as if the gray whale was sinking into some kind of high-pressure area. Then a gurgling sound rang out, it was hard to tell if it was the whale's stomach growling or from the outside.

He also smelled a peculiar rotting odor, probably from inside the whale, as if its digestive system wasn't very good.

The whale's tongue was very stable, with many longitudinal and transverse wrinkles, standing on it didn't shake at all.

He wondered how this gray whale obeyed the Forbidden Continent.

Just as Zhou Yi was thinking wildly, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was caught off guard as he emerged from the darkness, making him squint.

The whale opened its mouth.

"We're here," Doom Lord said.

Zhou Yi looked at the Black Water Ghost on his left wrist, the entire voyage actually only took 5 minutes.

5 minutes to reach the Forbidden Continent?

This was a bit unbelievable.

Zhou Yi walked out of the whale ferry and found himself on another land.

There was a dark giant hole in the sky, as if something had hollowed it out, completely covering this land, with a large amount of gas swirling and being sucked into it at the edges.

But it did not hinder the sunlight from shining.

The ground was normal.

The beach was soft and clean, birds flew in the air, and the whale docked next to a simple pier made of stone slabs.

On the pier were men and women dressed in various clothes, Photonoids and Mechanical Lifeforms.

Many people were playing flutes, harps, and guitars here, actively hawking everywhere, not much different from most secular cities.

Several gray whales were docked here, and passengers walked out of the whale mouths one after another.

Zhou Yi and his group were among them.

Doom Lord told everyone: "There are many scammers and thieves on the Forbidden Continent, it's best not to talk to strangers, this is especially a hotspot. A considerable number of people are here for the first time, and easily fall into their verbal traps."

"A Lord of the Territorial Waters I know was scammed out of all his money here, and even owed a huge debt. In the end, he could only work as an assassin here to pay off his debts before he could go back."

Zhou Yi was shocked: "A Lord of the Territorial Waters is so easily fooled?"

"If it's just conventional tricks, of course the Lord of the Territorial Waters wouldn't be fooled. But what if it's these people's abilities, like fraud, bewilderment, and distortion of perception?"

Doom Lord's words immediately made Zhou Yi vigilant.

This was indeed a bit hard to defend against.

He had to be careful.

Zhou Yi noticed that since stepping onto the pier, there were bright, wide green arrows pointing the way on the ground.

This green arrow was very peculiar, no matter how damaged the road surface was, whether it was sand, soil, stone slabs, or wooden boards, it was clear as ever, as if it was fixed in this space.

A green boundary line was also drawn in the distance, and it could be clearly seen that almost everyone here was active within the boundary line, and almost no people or creatures could be seen outside the line.

Doom Lord said about this: "The Forbidden Continent's characteristic, green represents safety, the area surrounded by the boundary line is the safe zone, the safe zone has no radiation. Outside the green line is the danger zone, with no rules to protect you."

"The arrow guides the path of the entire safe zone, so even if you come here for the first time, as long as you follow this prompt, your life safety is still guaranteed."

Zhou Yi asked: "Are these planned by the Seventh District Sixteenth Section?"

"No. It was like this before someone planned it."

Doom Lord took the lead unhurriedly: "There are obvious traces of artificial planning here, but the creator and master of the Forbidden Continent have never appeared. So many people believe that they should exist in the Flesh Mountain, Golden Elephant Valley, and Spark Plains."

The group followed the green arrow to a platform, where there were a dozen other humans and Photonoids.

Zhou Yi glanced at them.

The [Alert] ability could identify that most of them were Grade B, three were Grade A, and two were Grade C. There were also a few that could not be identified, they seemed to have the ability or props to hide and shield perception.

Here, Zhou Yi truly felt that experts were everywhere.

Whether talking or alone, these people kept a certain distance from the others around them.

Everyone was wary of each other, and also knew that those who came here were not ordinary characters, maintaining a tacit restraint with each other.

Zhou Yi saw a discordant member.

That was a Grade B human enhancer, who looked to be in his thirties, and was considered an expert in the outside world.

This person slapped the follower in the face, causing blood to seep from the corner of that person's mouth, but he didn't dare to dodge.

The one who was beaten was an ordinary person, a teenager of about ten years old.

"Waste, you can even forget the things I told you to bring, what's the use of bringing you!"

The enhancer scolded.

The surrounding people looked at him in unison, showing a gloating expression.

A burst of green light emerged from the ground, fixing the enhancer in place, making it impossible for him to move left or right.

The enhancer cursed: "I'm teaching my son, it's justified!"

"There's too much meddling here!"

His son also panicked, hurriedly kneeling on the ground and kowtowing in all directions.

"It's all my fault, my father asked me to remember to bring the necessary things, but I didn't bring them, please don't make things difficult for my father, it's all my fault, my memory is too bad, I'm too useless..."

"It's useless."

Doom Lord watched coldly: "You can't fight in the safe zone, even cursing each other will be punished if the situation is serious. You must first challenge the other party and obtain permission before starting a battle."

"What will happen to him?" Zhou Yi asked.

"He'll be trapped there for 24 hours."

Doom Lord said: "Time is money, he's lost a day. Here, being angry is useless, you have to stay rational and calm."

Zhou Yi saw that the enhancer had calmed down at this time, he sat directly on the ground, stopped his son from kneeling and kowtowing, and began to close his eyes and rest.

At this time, a long whistle came from a distance.

"Woo--woo--"

A long shadow swept over and stopped beside the station.

It was an old green train, with gas still spraying from the chimney of the locomotive.

"Get on the train, the trains here are free."

Doom Lord took the lead and stepped onto the metal steps.

Zhou Yi and Yuanxiao sat on one side, and Doom Lord and Qin Xie sat on the other side, the two groups facing each other.

"This train wasn't originally here, it was a dedicated railway built by the Seventh District Sixteenth Section jointly introducing Orbital Knights."

"It's too slow to walk and it's inconvenient to carry items, so this track was created."

Doom Lord continued: "Moving forward, the first area you enter is the Seventh District, and the terminal station is the First District."

"Initially, different regions chose a direction, but later they found that only a few industries made money, so the industries they operated were also similar."

The mountains on both sides of the window kept receding.

The train clanked forward.

The most⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥in⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥first⊥hair!

Zhou Yi looked at Qin Xie: "You haven't said much along the way, what's wrong, are you worried about something?"

Qin Xie smacked his lips: "I...I'm not feeling well."

His voice was hoarse and his face was very tired.

Zhou Yi asked: "Is it serious? Then go to the nearest Seventh District to find a hospital for treatment, there should be doctors here, right?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem..."

As Qin Xie spoke, he suddenly coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

"..."

Zhou Yi frowned: "Bear with it, go see a doctor when we get to the Seventh District. What's wrong with you?"

Qin Xie pointed to his chest: "My enhanced body part is my heart. I don't know why, but in the whale's body it triggered cardiac stress, which aggravated this process. The previous inhibitors I took didn't work."

"So I've been conserving my strength, reducing the stimulation to it, and avoiding accelerating my heartbeat."

"Don't talk first, rest for a while."

Qin Xie nodded, leaned his head against the carriage wall, closed his eyes to rest, and coughed from time to time.

"I know a doctor in the Seventh District."

Doom Lord said at this time: "He used to be the deputy director of the Empire's First Hospital, but he later left the Heavenly Kingdom for personal reasons and came here."

Half an hour later, the train sounded its whistle again and slowly pulled into the station.

Zhou Yi helped Qin Xie out of the car.

Doom Lord led the way, got off the platform, entered an avenue, and then turned into a small street with various shops.

It walked to a small shop called "Little Black Clinic" - now that Zhou Yi has learned a little of the Eastern Continent's common language, he can recognize these words.

Soon Doom Lord came out again.

"He's doing emergency surgery, suturing a patient's head, and won't be finished in a short time."

"But he recommended another doctor."

The four came to a narrow shop at the end of the street. It could only accommodate one person going in and out, and there was only one window inside, with a female doctor in a white coat sitting inside.

Zhou Yi noticed that she had two short antlers on her head.

"Doctor Lu, we were recommended by Black Doctor."

"Oh, it's Old Black, I'll give you a discount."

Doom Lord said: "Our friend here is in a bit of trouble."

The antler doctor came out from inside, observed the sickly Qin Xie, and then put her head on his chest and back, listening carefully.

Doctor Lu's face was a little surprised: "Oh, it's actually the redevelopment of the enhanced organ."

"Don't worry, there's nothing serious, it's just that the patient's heart - that is, the enhanced organ - has undergone a relatively rare redevelopment."

She spoke quickly: "There will be some discomfort during this process, there may be vomiting blood, you'll feel sleepy, weak, and have a decreased resistance. But as long as you get more rest and pay attention to replenishing energy and water, it will disappear after the secondary development of the enhanced organ stabilizes."

"Most enhanced organs are transplanted into the body, and will only maintain their original functions. The conditions for redevelopment are very harsh, and require a lot of special substances to cooperate with stimulation and activation."

"What did you eat? Or did you inject a special drug? I have to make sure."

Qin Xie said laboriously: "I injected [Miris] given by Madam Mei."

"No wonder."

The doctor suddenly understood: "Madam Mei, a big shot... this thing is worth a fortune, it should be the best enhanced organ evolution drug currently available, with very few side effects. Then there shouldn't be any problem."

"I'll prescribe some medicine for you to relieve the discomfort."

After she went into the room, she grabbed a few small paper bags and handed them over: "Since it was recommended by Black Doctor, 2 Light Seeds will do. Remember to take it three times a day, there will be drowsiness, talk less and rest more."

Zhou Yi paid the money.

"I have other work to do, I have to go first."

After speaking, Doctor Lu took off her white coat, put on a black jacket, and walked out in a hurry.

Zhou Yi immediately followed.

"Doctor Lu, I want to talk to you about something."

"Let's talk as we walk."

Doom Lord made a reassuring gesture, indicating that it would watch Qin Xie here.

Zhou Yi followed the doctor's footsteps.

"What do you want to ask me?"

Doctor Lu said as she walked.

"You're dying."

The other party turned her face: "You can see that?"

Zhou Yi nodded.

Yuanxiao's [Fatal Annotation] can see the other party's health bar, it was the information she gave.

Originally, Zhou Yi didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

But Yuanxiao said through the mind link: "Chairman, she is a blood doctor of a mixed race."

"Blood doctors use their own blood to make various medicines to treat patients in a targeted manner. They constantly infect themselves with various diseases, putting themselves in critical condition, and then develop corresponding blood medicines."

"The advantage is that as long as they have enough trials and errors, they can theoretically cure most flesh and blood diseases."

"The disadvantage is that it is easy to be in a near-death state when testing medicines on themselves, and they need a lot of Light Seeds to maintain their lives."

"If she can be recruited into the company, relying on the company's Dead Sea Fruit, her life can be kept on a safe line. She can also supplement the manpower lacking in Mary Hospital."

So Zhou Yi decided to give it a try.
