Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 652 The Adventures of the Mountain of Flesh

On a windy day in the spring of the eighth year, Yang Zhao, a carnivore, arrived outside the gate of Emerald City No. 3101.

He looked exhausted, but his backpack was bulging.

Zhou Yi asked Yuanxiao to get him a plate of grilled skewers.

Yang Zhao munched on a skewer of slightly charred meat, a look of surprise on his face: "Chairman, what kind of meat is this? I've never eaten it before. It's delicious!"

"Teppanyaki squid... Old humans called it grilled squid."

Zhou Yi laughed and said, "These light-elemental creatures mostly live in the deep sea of ​​the Dead Sea. It seems you haven't encountered them before."

These Class B creatures are simple-minded and highly dependent on instinct.

Originally, the light squid was a favorite advanced experimental subject in biological experiments. They are phototactic to death rays and have a strong growth ability.

For example, Wu Ye, the third acting agent, has modified light squid around his surgical base.

The brain-generating machines need to be physically connected to form a collaborative and parallel system, and the brain of the light squid is an essential biological carrier in this process. It plays a vital role in sensing the external environment and transmitting and recording information.

The company artificially cultivates evil brains on the forbidden continent, and the supporting light squid has not been neglected either. [Zhanjiang Bay No. 1] has been breeding a subspecies of light squid.

This species, known as Type 3 light squid, is the smallest and weakest among light squid, but it grows quickly and is easy to raise and has a lazy personality.

只用4-8个月它就能从2-5cm的幼苗彻底成熟，变成20-50cm的尺寸。

The brain of the squid is used as a biological connector, while the remaining skin is a very good food ingredient.

Under Zhou Yi's promotion and leadership, the people of Emerald City quickly fell in love with grilled squid and would also stir-fry squid at home with onions and chili peppers.

When talking about grilled squid, we can't help but mention the two key seasonings: onions and chili peppers.

Over the past few years, the Ministry of Agriculture has been conducting extensive research and successfully introduced several important seasonings, including chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, onions, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. They have partnered with the Tree Monster Territory to cultivate and grow these spice plants on a large scale.

This has greatly expanded the variety of dishes available on the tables of the people of Shagang, satisfying their appetites in ways they have never experienced before.

As a result, the catering industry in Shagang has become extremely developed.

"delicious!"

Yang Zhao devoured the squid, wolfing it down, and then drank a chilled beverage, a look of pure enjoyment on his face.

"Now that my brain is no longer being controlled haphazardly, I feel more enjoyable and relaxed when eating meat. It's great."

After making a remark, Yang Zhao got down to business: "Chairman, during my time back at the meat mountain, I made a complete record using the equipment the company brought with me."

"Look."

He took out a small optical printing camera.

Zhou Yi turned on the device and projected it onto the projection wall.

The image stabilized after shaking for a while.

The camera focused on a reddish-brown mountain range, with many mists swirling among the peaks.

The mountains here are barren, with flat tops, steep sides, and gentle slopes. The steep cliffs of different shapes and sizes combine to form fortress-like, wall-like, and column-like shapes, and have concentric rings of patterns, which are very similar to Danxia landforms.

"This is the top of the mountain of flesh. Now I'm going to go in from here."

In the video, Yang Zhao's voice sounded slightly distorted.

The image moves forward with a slight shaking.

Soon we arrived at the foot of the mountain, and up close we could see that the rock layers of the flesh mountain looked like they were stacked together, with concentric rings of compression patterns on the surface.

In front of the camera, Yang Zhao reached out and pried open a layer of rock.

He was like Steve from Minecraft, easily smashing open the rock layer with his fists, creating a large breach. The soil inside became somewhat moist and soft, and its color became more vibrant and reddish.

Beneath the thick surface layer of rock lies a fleshy texture resembling that of a ham.

The outer layer of stone is more like a fossil formed after long-term oxidation and compression.

"If you feel hungry in the mountain of meat, you can dig open a rock like this and you will find meat."

"But at times like these, it's essential to identify the type of good meat."

Yang Zhao pulled a small knife from his waist and began to cut the meat: "We need to cut against the grain so it won't fall apart, and the meat will look much better." "Meat like this is perfect."

"It only has two colors, red and white, with no other colors in the patterns, and it has a faint oily smell, so it's very healthy."

After eating the piece of meat, he gave a thumbs up: "Healthy meat has a natural air-dried flavor."

"However, not all meat is like that. More than 80% of the meat in the meat mountain has various problems."

Yang Zhao walked for a while longer and broke open another rock layer on the other side.

He cut open the layers of meat with a knife and pointed to the texture: "This looks pretty good, doesn't it? Red and white, with a faint meaty aroma, but it's actually poisonous, and eating it will cause all sorts of problems."

"Because of the texture of this meat, please look closely."

Yang Zhao zoomed in, aiming at the cross-section of the meat.

"See that? It has a rough, loose texture and dry cracks. That's spoiled meat. Eating it could cause hallucinations, body ulceration, or even body melting. At least don't eat this part or any meat that's too close to it."

"Have you learned it?"

He pointed to the camera.

Zhou Yi's face twitched as he looked at it.

This guy treated it purely as his own outdoor adventure show, and he seemed to be thoroughly enjoying it.

Yang Zhao himself, standing to the side, was watching the video with a smile.

"We're going into the mountains now."

"Entering the mountain will be more dangerous than the outside world, because the movement of the flesh mountain itself is all within the mountain body. The interior will contract and narrow, and some passages will even close directly. Sometimes there will be sudden bulges and wave-like compressions."

"Therefore, we must choose to enter mountains with thicker rock layers. It doesn't have to be the highest, but it must be thick enough, preferably at least an arm's length thick, and ideally two arms' length thick. This is because these mountains are the oldest fleshy mountains, which are very stable and safest to enter."

"However, I have my own mountain pass that I frequently use, so I don't need to develop new caves."

In the video, Yang Zhao finds a mountain pass and crawls inside.

Under the spotlight of the camera, the texture of flesh could be clearly seen on the walls of the cave, making it seem as if he were walking inside a giant ham.

As you venture deeper, the mountain walls become soft and damp, and begin to undulate slightly, as if the entire mountain were some kind of living entity, giving it a somewhat eerie appearance.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but ask Yang Zhao, who was standing next to him, "Did you dig this cave?"

"No, Chairman, it was always there."

The carnivore said, "Those holes periodically form fleshy balls, and that's how I was born. But there are also some that aren't carnivores, but as you said, killer rats."

"Actually, there is another special kind of creature that also hatches from the Flesh Mountain, but it is released into the Dead Sea from under the Flesh Mountain. I had never discovered it before, but this time I went all the way to the bottom and searched through many ancient Flesh Mountains before I confirmed it."

"Biodiversity released from the Dead Sea..."

A thought popped into Zhou Yi's mind: "Could it be a gray whale?"

"No."

"It's a giraffe."

Giraffe?
Zhou Yi's mind conjured up images of those large lizard-like creatures, which he had previously outwitted and fought against outside Shagang, driving away these cunning Light Na species that came to poach the Bone Fish.

The first ability I gained, [Stretch], was also obtained by killing the giraffe.

Zhou Yi, who is also a giraffe, still uses the "Alertness" ability.

That is to say...

The giraffe group is actually a product of old human consciousness being implanted into artificial organisms.

Zhou Yi's expression changed slightly.

No wonder giraffes are exceptionally intelligent and adept at hiding and hunting, and they are so numerous.

The entire wasteland is teeming with long-necked crocodiles, which are actually stitched creatures created by the Mountain of Flesh.
