Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 1 Traveler
Ah Jin was breathing heavily, and it felt like cold knives were running around in his throat and chest.

His body told him to run, but the long-distance running caused his hands and feet to become uncontrollable, and his bleeding right leg was shaking with coldness.

At this time, the sun was rising from the horizon.

The darkness is dissipating.

In the morning light, the boy's pale face was full of fear.

It's daytime.

The day has arrived...

The monsters are waking up.

Not far ahead, the foggy black Dead Sea is gradually turning into warm white.

This was the beach east of the oasis, too far away from the safe area. Even in his best physical condition, there was no way he could survive and escape the monsters' hunting area.

A deep despair surged in Ajin's heart.

He felt a slight chill on his back, and the hair on his arms stood up without him noticing.

There is something in the darkness staring at me.

Ajin looked around for cover and suddenly saw a bonfire behind some large rocks in the east.

Could it be the hunting group’s camp?
The desire to survive made him move towards that side.

Arriving at the campfire, Ajin found that there was only one person there.

The other person was an elderly man wrapped in a black coat, probably in his twenties. Anyone who could live to this age in this place was a strong man.

Next to the man in black was a large backpack and a strange device.

The device was mottled yellow all over, had two wheels at the front and back, sheep-like horns, and was otherwise very slender.

The man in black had a smooth face without any wounds, and his calm eyes looked at Ajin, which made him feel nervous.

This kind of pampered and intact skin, the fine texture of exotic clothes, the clean and tidy black hair... are obviously developed by living in a superior and safe environment.

Ah Jin bravely asked: "Are you an enhancer?"

"Enhancer?"

The other party's voice was very light: "What is that?"

Ajin was stunned.

He didn't even know about the Enhancer.

"I probably am not."

The traveler seemed to remember something happy: "Is there a city nearby?"

Ajin was anxious. How could this outsider have no common sense at all?

"Uncle, it's daytime now! Hurry up and hide! Are you trying to kill yourself?"

The traveler turned his face towards the campfire: "It's almost time. It's fate that we meet. Come first."

He handed Ah Jin a thin iron skewer with a piece of steaming, greasy, browned meat on it.

The rich smell of meat immediately made Ajinxiang dizzy.

He devoured it ravenously.

This is real fresh meat!

They are not comparable to the insects raised in town.

Ah Jin had eaten rotten meat before, which needed to be boiled in a pot until it was dregs before eating, otherwise he would get sick. It really didn't have much taste, just a little oily flavor.

The delicious taste lasts only a moment.

The urge of death takes control of the mind again.

Ah Jin wiped his mouth with the back of his hand: "Stop eating, let's go! Daytime is not the time for us to go out, hurry up."

There was an unsettling sound coming from behind me, accompanied by deep, powerful breathing and heavy footsteps.

"another one."

The other party handed him another large bunch of meat.

Ajin gnawed anxiously.

Although his life is hanging by a thread now, the meat is really delicious.

The boy glanced behind him.

Two monsters have walked out from the darkness.

Their bodies are covered with gray-black bristles, and their sturdy four feet have scimitar-like bone claws with dark brown stains of coagulated blood on them.

The hook-clawed monster's two rows of fangs were dripping with saliva, its short nose exhaled a fishy smell of decay, and its ferocious eyes stared at the two unarmed humans, locking onto its prey.

Ajin's scalp tingled.

E-level light nano species, clawed pig.

"Run quickly, I will provoke them."

Ajin grabbed a branch from the ground and pretended to swing it, preparing to play his final role.

It's worth dying for the good meat.

The traveler ate the skewers slowly and said, "Don't worry. I'm not at the point where I need a child to help me back up."

Little, little child?

Ah Jin froze and his face turned red: "How could you insult me like this..."

"I know I'm not tall or strong, but I'm 13 years old and a professional scavenger with three years of experience! I'm a grown man! A man!"

The other party seemed to realize something and changed the topic, saying, "Oh my, stereotyped thinking is really harmful." What the traveler said was a little difficult to understand.

But at this time, Ajin couldn't care about anything else.

The claw pig has rushed over.

Ajin raised the branch in his hand and screamed loudly to encourage himself not to run away - that would mean he would die faster and more miserably.

The two monsters were like heavy chariots, rushing in front of them in the blink of an eye, their sharp claws like raised scimitars.

rustling!
Suddenly, sharp spikes emerged from the ground and pierced through the abdomens of the two monsters. The clawed pigs that were charging at high speed were thrown to the ground, their bodies twisted in pain as they were pierced by the sharp weapons, and blood gushed out.

Large green crabs with silver crosses on their shells emerged from the sand. They held long pointed iron spears in their large claws and stabbed at the injured prey. After a few rounds of attacks, the crabs were pierced with bloody holes all over their bodies and could not move.

A faint light emanated from the dead monster's body, which gradually formed into two small balls of light and were swallowed directly by the two large crabs.

In a flash, the battle was over.

Ajin looked a little confused.

It's a samurai crab.

They ambushed and strangled the clawed boar, which seemed defenseless.

But they are both E-class, so why is the difference so big?

Warrior crabs use spears and array?

Aren't they the type that just fight to the death with their claws, regardless of whether they can win or not?

When did you become so smart?
The warrior crabs cut and collect their prey, and carry them into the nearby Dead Sea.

They had no reaction to the two humans next to them.

This is also very strange.

Ah Jin had a guess and looked at the mysterious traveler: "Is this a trap?"

The other party wiped his mouth with some white tissue paper: "You can say that."

But Jin still couldn't understand: "How is it possible? How can a group of light crabs cooperate with humans? This is the warrior crab in broad daylight. They will not allow humans to appear in their territory."

The traveler said, "They are my employees."

"..."

Ajin suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Warrior Crab, when can you be hired?
The traveler didn't care: "As long as it is profitable, the enemy will become a friend. As long as I give enough, it is far more profitable to cooperate with me than to attack me."

Ajin calmed down and thought about it.

Although this group of warrior crabs has the advantage in numbers, their movement speed on land is completely incomparable to that of the clawed pigs.

In a head-on battle, the worst that could happen to the clawed pigs is that they avoid the attack and run away.

These land monsters have great endurance and explosive power, and are good at continuous running and fighting. They come and go as they please. Hunting them in open terrain is an impossible task for warrior crabs.

Without the trap set by the traveler himself, there would be no such result.

Is it really what he said?
but.

Just the fact that he faced the monsters' attacks head-on with a calm expression showed that this uncle was not an ordinary person.

A warrior crab placed several cuts of meat on the rocks of the campfire.

They burrowed into the sand one after another and lay in ambush.

"This is my share." The traveler pointed to the steaming meat.

Ah Jin's eyes were blank for a moment: "The meat skewers before were pig claws..."

"correct."

The traveler said, "Come on, eat some more. I can't eat that much by myself. It takes time to dry the meat. With the warrior crab here, it's safe."

Ajin swallowed.

The meat of the Guangna species is an extremely expensive luxury even in the city.

He sat down obediently and volunteered to start grilling the meat.

The traveler made a simple self-introduction: "My name is Zhou Yi, I come from a faraway place in the east, and my occupation is the same as yours, a scavenger."

"My name is Ajin, and I come from the town of Changu in the west... Thank you, I owe you my life."

Ah Jin devoured the meat ravenously and felt that his wounds seemed to be less painful and he felt stronger all over.

He thought to himself that the other party must be a master scavenger.

You have to ask for advice yourself.

……

Zhou Yi stretched lazily.

Warrior crabs are natural warriors who dare to fight and obey orders, but they are not the smart type, so it is difficult to ask them to perform complex camouflage.

In this wasteland world, if you have strength, it's best to show it off.

On the contrary, it will reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

This is Zhou Yi's experience.

If the people around you are xenophobic or won't accept your monster team, move to another place.

Anyway, there are many places to choose from for settlement.

Let’s check it out first.
