Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 649 You'd love for the Moon People to die
The thought of the 4 lunar people on the moon, all of whom were special warriors who could counter the Celestial Gem, ignited a burning desire in Zhou Yi's heart.

"Is it possible to utilize their mechanisms in actual combat? For example, could we deploy them into Io, a region already occupied by Celestials, so that they could shield and block the Celestial Gems there?"

"There is a possibility."

Yagami smiled and said, "There is just one small problem."

"You mean deployment?"

Zhou Yi said confidently, "There is a way. Once the Rocket Bone Fish grow up on Europa, we can transport Lunarians there for airdrops. The new generation of Rocket Bone Fish are already inhabiting Lunarian families, so this won't be a problem in the future. The Giant Bone Fish will also teach them combat tactics to attack the Celestials. As long as they are given time, they can do it."

"It's not a technical problem."

Night God shook his finger: "It's a matter of subjective will. They are extremely resistant to fighting and war."

"I know the Lunarians better than anyone. They are not a warrior race; they just search for energy and life cores to survive, and their combat experience is limited to fighting the weak with the strong."

"Breaking through boundaries and projecting onto Earth, it can only deal with B-level and weaker life forms. It is helpless against stronger ones."

“They won’t fight against those of the same level, because they are afraid of losing and have no confidence, let alone against a Celestial Being of the Polymorphic Transformation level. Even if they are sent to the front line, they will most likely start to flee before they even enter the battlefield.”

"Although it may sound harsh, the Lunarians have never experienced war and are incapable of fighting tough battles. They prefer to run away and hide rather than confront them. That's the truth."

"..."

Her words reminded Zhou Yi of his battle with Haruk.

Haruk started off with great momentum, fighting him to a standstill. But seeing the difficult situation, it decisively ran away, hiding in a spatial rift and refusing to come out.

Haruk also calls himself an explorer. Even though the Dead Sea on Earth is much less intense than the Moon, they still consider it extremely dangerous. They wouldn't come to explore unless absolutely necessary.

Both of these aspects confirm Night God's assessment.

"There is another way, which is to use a brain-controlling device to control them."

A wicked glint flashed in Yagami's eyes as he began to devise a plan: "As long as we use the evil brain to manipulate their consciousness, these Lunarians can all become fearless warriors and participate in the battle against the Celestials on the front lines."

"For example, we could deploy them to Io's celestial nursery, sending them all over there to invade. That might completely disable the gems on that moon."

Zhou Yi understood: "You wish the Moon Man would die."

"Yes. I just want them all to die."

Yagami made no attempt to hide his disgust: "These guys are a menace on the moon, they might as well go over there and wreak havoc on the celestials. That would be making the best use of them."

Zhou Yi then thought of something: "So far, no Lunarian has entered the Twin Towers region on their own. This place is beneath the mantle, already the lunar core region... Is it possible that your natural hostility and hatred towards them is because your own body is also composed of gemstones?"

These words stunned the other person.

Yagami's eyes widened slightly: "What you said makes sense, it's quite possible."

"Actually, I don't have the same strong feelings of love and hate as those flesh and blood beings, but I have an innate aversion and resistance to the Moon People and want to get rid of them all."

“If they were ordinary Kripke rocks, they would just be materials and tools. But the emergence of life makes their changes and movements unpredictable, so I would probably feel there is risk and threat…”

"But whether you like it or hate it, isn't that normal?"

What do you think of the Lunarians? Should we try training them into warriors?

Zhou Yi shook his head: "Since they are not the type to be willing to sacrifice or risk their lives, there is no need to force it. We should cultivate them according to their natural characteristics."

"Since they are explorers at heart, let's just do it the way explorers do."

Fighting against the natural world by launching an amphibious assault is definitely not a good strategy.

If we were to engage in a cosmic-scale war of proof against the Celestial Beings, that would be right in their comfort zone and sphere of experience.

Previously, they had allied with the Golden Tree and dared to launch a full-scale attack on Toki-onna.

Clearly, they have a wealth of experience in this area.

We must start with their most vulnerable areas: life and consciousness.

……

The original Lunarians figured it out.

Zhou Yi began to care about another matter: the new world of the old humans inside the gem.

Night God then invited him to project his consciousness into the gem once more.

The scene before me was completely different from the small town I had seen before; it had transformed into a massive modern metropolis.

The buildings blend seamlessly with the mountains, light rail weaves through residential buildings, and long, straight roads extend from the rooftops. Yellow taxis speed and weave between the buildings and the mountain roads, a complex and winding urban structure with steep inclines and declines everywhere. A light mist hangs over the city in the early morning.

There were quite a few pedestrians, some jogging, some drinking tea, some spinning tops, some walking their dogs, some going out to buy breakfast, some buying groceries, some selling snacks, some waiting for buses, some smoking... it was like going back to the old human era.

Zhou Yi recognized the city at a glance, its features were too obvious.

"You replicated Chongqing?"

"Ah."

Nogami said with no small amount of pride, "The old CQ city, with its 26 districts, 8 counties, and 4 autonomous counties, has been replicated one-to-one."

“In this city, the changing seasons and the passage of 24 hours are all real effects.”

“Buildings will gradually age, and various infrastructures will be maintained over time. Currently, there are 2100 former residents in this city, and they like this more authentic city.”

“However, maintaining order is also a problem. Sixteen old humans have already been imprisoned for vandalism, fighting, and theft. It seems there is at least an 8 in 16 crime rate. As long as their sentences are not over, they can only stay in jail here.”

Zhou Yi asked, "Is this crime rate high or low?"

"It's much higher than Chongqing in the old human era. It's probably because they were used to acting recklessly in their own self-centered world, and they haven't changed even after coming here."

Yagami said somewhat helplessly, "As the number of people continues to increase, the total number of crimes will continue to rise. However, once they develop this habit, they will restrain themselves in this regard."

"The main problem is that the city is built in such a detailed and realistic way that there are many places that need to be monitored at all times. Even a small mistake or damage could have far-reaching consequences."

“The NPCs controlled by the electromechanical lifeforms have been a great help. For example, they are the ones who operate the law enforcement officers and calculate the transactions and currency circulation in various regions. But as more old humans enter, the interactions will become more and more frequent, and then we will need more computing power.”

"I can't keep an eye on everything by myself; I have other things to do."

"Fortunately, I now have a helper who is in charge of handling all the affairs inside 24 hours a day."

Zhou Yi said "Oh": "You chose someone to act as a substitute? Madam Mei? Or Wang Fengwu?"

Yagami clapped his hands.

A completely identical Night God appeared beside him, also wearing a white lab coat, glasses, and with his hair up.

Zhou Yi was taken aback: "You created a clone?"

"No."

Yagami frowned and said to the person next to him, "I've told you many times, stop pretending to be me. Hurry up and turn back to your own appearance."

The Second Night God's body twisted and transformed into a slender, long-haired hot girl.

She wore light yellow glasses, a red dot between her eyebrows, and mahjong tile earrings on her earlobes; the character "渝" (Yu) was on her left ear and the character "巴" (Ba) on her right ear.

The woman was wearing a red vest, with a pair of wide jeans below her slim waist, and carrying a small yellow bag with a thin strap.

She has a strikingly beautiful face, but her demeanor is cold, exuding an aura that keeps strangers at bay.

Zhou Yi asked, puzzled, "Who... is this?"

"Her name is Xiao Chongqing, and she is the administrator of this city."

Yagami smiled slightly: "You've seen her before, but she hadn't fully grown up back then. She's just grown up now."

Zhou Yi frowned. He thought and thought, but he couldn't remember ever seeing a girl who looked like this.

"Haven't you thought of that yet?"

Night God looked puzzled, then said, "Little Chongqing is the earliest conceptual life here, or you could say the prototype of the Great Holy Spirit here."

Zhou Yi was greatly surprised.

It's that town monster!

"They look completely different before and after!"

"You old humans have a saying, 'A girl changes a lot as she grows up.'"

Night God said it casually.

The image of that ghostly black shadow, like a Dementor, drifting around and sneaking behind people flashed into Zhou Yi's mind.

But before him stood a cool and aloof urban female model.

It's an absolute super-powerful cosmetic surgery technique.
