Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 653 Television Creatures
Zhou Yi pondered.

In other words, the giraffe is essentially an old human dressed up as a monster, just like Killer Rat, Electric Cat, and Golden Elephant.

"Besides the long-necked crocodile, what other creatures does the Forbidden Continent create?"

"Just these few: golden elephant, killer rat, giraffe. Oh, and this one too."

At this moment, Yang Zhao unzipped the backpack on the ground and took out an old-fashioned television set.

"You'll see when you look at this; it contains records."

Zhou Yi looked at the old television in front of him.

With its square shape and black plastic frame, it was the earliest television he had ever seen when he was a child.

It looks familiar.

He remembered.

I had seen these old televisions before in a shop when I visited the Forbidden Continent. They grew from the Forbidden Continent, and every time one was taken away, another television would grow back on the tree and the ground.

The TV he found earlier because of curling contained a fragment of light-core-level consciousness that was constantly playing commercials.

Welcome to Forbidden Paradise! We have now opened the Flesh Mountain, Golden Elephant Valley, and Spark Plains to the public. We cordially invite visitors from all over to come and enjoy the pleasures of death.

Exactly the same model number.

The only difference is that this TV has a transparent glass device fixed to the back. And unlike those other TVs, the screen isn't covered in colorful mosaics or pixelated patterns; it has clear images.

Zhou Yi first looked at the glass device.

It contains a large number of fine pipes, gears, worm gears, pistons, cylinders, snap rings, guide rails and sliders... resembling a miniature transparent machine tool.

This high-precision structure and style, in line with the transparent castle above the Spark Plains, is undoubtedly the work of the Sowers.

Zhou Yi asked Yang Zhao, who was standing next to him, "Is this the only television that is connected to this transparent structure?"

"Yes, Chairman."

The carnivore nodded, a hint of pride in his voice, and said, "It's in the very heart of the meat mountain, where the meat beats and pulses like a heart. Those wild televisions outside are all cultivated by the meat mountain based on it."

"Because I took this, the Mountain of Flesh intensified its efforts to find and retrieve the original. It took me a lot of effort to escape from the Mountain of Flesh's capture. This must be something valuable."

Zhou Yi was taken aback.

Biological culture is easy to understand, but this television set... can it also be replicated using Roshan?

"OK."

Yang Zhao didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and had an expression that said it was always like this.

He adjusted the camera, fast-forwarded, and said, "Look here, I've captured part of the process of how a wild television is created."

The image on the projection wall.

On the scarlet walls inside the mountain of flesh, plastic lines and thin metal wires slowly grew, then intertwined and combined to gradually assemble an old television.

The screen lit up, but instead of displaying mosaics, it was playing an old Western movie.

The television, trailing a long power cord, slowly moved up and outwards along the walls of the flesh mountain.

Zhou Yi stared in disbelief.

It really is a television that grows out of the flesh.

He then came to his senses.

Although it may seem completely contrary to common sense, there is actually a way. Once you reach the level of a Transformer, you can use energy to create and transform matter.

In other words.

The Meat Mountain is a biofactory at the level of polymorphic mutants.

Zhou Yi was still a little confused: "Why make these televisions? They're just inanimate objects used as tools, completely different from giraffes and killer rats."

“They’re alive, Chairman.”

Yang Zhao corrected him.

Is television a living organism?

"correct."

Yang Zhao seemed to have thought of something and said, "Oh, but leaving the mountain of flesh means death... I almost forgot about that."

"Chairman, they are all alive on the meat mountain. They can continue their lives through the meat mountain and are very active themselves."

"Don't be fooled by their appearance; they are the strongest life forms born from the Mountain of Flesh, each one a light core. However, their bodies are fragile and cannot move on their own, requiring constant replenishment from the outside. Furthermore, light cores consume a great deal of energy; without timely replenishment, they will quickly die if they leave the Mountain of Flesh." "But they hold little appeal for carnivores; their flesh is unpalatable."

“The outside world just takes them off the mountain of flesh and lets them die. It was only this time that I truly understood this.”

Zhou Yi was a little confused: "Wait a minute, you said it was taken from a mountain of flesh? But I've seen records of television sets being taken from the wild, haven't I?"

"Well, the main body of this forbidden continent is a mountain of flesh. The place where flesh is stored is called the mountain, and the place where there is no flesh is called the foot of the mountain. That's what I call it."

Yang Zhao casually said, "In the past, my mind was bound by the characteristics of a carnivore, and I was often confused, unable to think about these things, nor could I recall or express them accurately. But after the company performed surgery on me, my mind is much clearer now."

"In fact, the entire Forbidden Continent was built on the foundation of the Mountain of Flesh. Other places are more like the outer shell and accessories. It's like a plate of meat, with the matching plate and knife and fork."

Zhou Yi then realized this.

The Mountain of Flesh is the true core of the Forbidden Continent.

"Is television alive?"

"Yes. It's special. The television is the body, and the consciousness is inside. I'm not good with words, but you'll understand when you watch the television."

Yang Zhao pressed the switch below the television set next to him.

The screen suddenly started flashing with frequency bands, and the words "[Forbidden Paradise-1-1]" appeared in the upper right corner.

This channel is showing a scene of television manufacturing, which is basically the same as the footage Yang Zhao filmed earlier.

But the steps were more detailed, and the internal condition of the television was also recorded.

First, tiny figures were continuously fed into the television set and sealed one by one. Eventually, the tiny figures, both men and women, were crammed into the television set, like sardines in a can.

Then, these little people began to move around in the scene of the television. There were all sorts of natural disasters and man-made calamities, until one by one the little people died in various ways, leaving only one person.

The last little person is usually quite abnormal.

Zhou Yi looked on with a solemn expression.

These are the old humans; the little people in the bottle were originally on the same frequency as the biological television.

The Seeders placed many old humans inside a television set, starting a real-life battle royale where only one person could survive.

After leaving the Mountain of Flesh, new humans need to be put into the television set to restart the battle royale.

In this system, humans are similar to the coins needed to play a game.

He remembered the commercials that kept playing on TV.

Welcome to Forbidden Paradise, where you can enjoy the pleasures of death.

The final survivor of the battle royale will become one with the television set, becoming the eternal announcer, endlessly looping the deaths of everyone in the show and telling the story of how he survived.

Within a television network, there are many smaller channels, each corresponding to a different individual television set.

Zhou Yi then switched to frequency band 2.

This time it's the Golden Elephant.

The television screen switched to a dark red, high-temperature area, the image itself was distorted and stretched, and blurry golden creatures were wandering in it.

The initial golden elephant cub is a clump of sticky golden fluid, not yet formed into a stable shape. After birth, it is captured from high above by a transparent device, and then an old human miniature is injected into its body. Afterward, the golden elephant cub is rapidly matured.

Band 3 is the killer rat, which is also hatched from meat chunks and stitched together from old humans.

Band 4 features the giraffe, similar to the killer rat. However, unlike the others, the giraffe is released into the wild and, as shown in the footage, also has the ability to reproduce spontaneously.

There are only these four frequency bands.

Zhou Yi observed it repeatedly, but there were still some parts that were unclear.

He brought a prototype television set into Chamber One, allowing the hydrogen flow to attempt to connect and obtain more information.

Once the television is attached to the transparent fortress, it connects to it naturally.

A few minutes later.

The hydrogen-based life form inside the transparent wall said, "Cultivator, this thing contains a vast amount of information. I've gleaned a lot of very strange content..."

"The key capability of this television set is to distribute the old human consciousness to each area of ​​the flesh mountain, encapsulate and reconstitute them into new life forms, and record this process."

"It connects to the sky above Spark Plains, where the old humans are assigned to different areas."

"With this, we can release all the old humans locked up over there!"

Zhou Yi was overjoyed to hear this.

This is great news!
