Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 9 Luxurious Cave
Zhou Yi chose to build his house next to the bonfire on the beach.

The terrain here is relatively flat and not far from the water source of the oasis river.

Behind it is the Dead Sea, making it convenient to develop underwater resources.

Large underwater light nano-species basically don't come to shallow areas like this. They appear in deep sea areas, where the density and intensity of the absorbable dead light are higher, and there are a lot of high-quality prey they need.

The warrior crabs still blocked off the surrounding area to avoid being affected during the construction.

Zhou Yi rode his bicycle back to the sea.

He knew almost nothing about the specific process of building a house.

So Zhou Yi chose to adopt what is available.

Amid the light and fog, visibility dropped significantly and everything in the Dead Sea became blurry and blurred.

In the past, Zhou Yi's crab army marched slowly, and vision problems were an important factor. The crabs could sense danger, but they could not recognize the remaining buildings around them, and it was difficult for them to describe complex things in detail.

Zhou Yi activated the Red Falcon this time.

Drones hovered overhead.

On the electronic screen of the remote control, a large amount of light flow and fog are filtered, and the field of vision becomes very clear. The light fog turns into a kind of water ripples on the lens, but it does not affect the observation of the surrounding terrain.

A road next to Zhou Yi's team was clearly visible, and not far away there was an overpass that had collapsed in the middle.

He asked Red Falcon: "Mechatronic life is not affected by the Dead Sea?"

A synthesized voice sounded from the remote control: "No, we are also affected by the power of the dead light, and most of us cannot stay in such an environment for a long time. My [Bird's Eye View] is deployed in the Dead Sea area, and the consumption will increase exponentially."

"But I was a member of the Recursion City rescue team, responsible for searching for trapped electromechanical life in various environments, and also for rescuing other light nano species. My structure and component modifications are designed to cope with extreme environments. As long as there are no alarms, it is within the controllable impact."

Professional counterpart belongs to yes.

Zhou Yi felt relieved.

With the help of navigation, he quickly found the nearest building complex.

This is an old residential area. Judging from the style of the buildings, it seems to be built around 7 years ago. It has no name and has a total of 6 units, each with floors. It is built alone next to the highway.

The entrance was a raised broken wall and a twisted and crooked iron gate.

Zhou Yi entered the community and looked up. He could see clothes hanging on the guardrails on each floor and empty potted plants.

Furniture and daily necessities can be collected from here.

The difficulty lies in the main body of the house.

Zhou Yi remembered that he passed by a construction site when he came from the east.

He used a drone to conduct a large-scale search and quickly found the place.

The construction site was in a mess. The main structure of a high-rise building that was still under construction collapsed for unknown reasons. The various materials piled on the ground were scattered in a messy manner, but fortunately they were complete.

Zhou Yi was in a good mood after seeing this.

In the past, construction sites were considered dusty and caused traffic jams, but now they have become a key strategic resource point.

The spears, shields and even carapaces equipped by the warrior crabs are all made of the steel bars and iron sheets here.

Building materials also have to start from here.

His eyes fell on the open space on the other side of the construction site, where several special buildings were well preserved.

found it!
This is what I want.

……

into the night.

Ajin was carrying large and small bags on his back, holding a clay pot in one hand, a large bundle of hay in the other, and a firefly stick tied around his waist, and was moving towards the beach with sweat all over his face.

As he got closer, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why is it so bright?
He looked closely and was shocked.

There is a glowing hill ahead.

Could it be that I have gone to the wrong place?

But the warrior crabs patrolling and guarding in the distance proved that the master was indeed here.

what's the situation?
Ajin walked cautiously to the warrior crab guards. For a moment he felt a little embarrassed and didn't dare to go over. There was no master around, and he didn't know if they would attack him.

The warrior crabs didn't even look at him and continued to patrol the night.

Suddenly someone said to him, "Go all the way inside, they won't hurt you, Zhou is waiting for you."

This strange voice was cold and majestic, as if it came from the horizon.

Ajin was stunned.

The master's name is Zhou Yi, and Zhou refers to him.

He gritted his teeth and continued to move forward carrying the bags.

Approaching the glowing hill further, Ajin saw that the master was sitting on a fluffy leather chair.

He had a large square black umbrella propped up over his head, and next to him was a well-made, square wooden table with a lamp made of diamond-shaped stone on it.

Under the illumination of diamond-shaped lights.

This mysterious and powerful elder was drinking water from a red can at this moment. He frowned, as if he had encountered something troublesome. Ajin said cautiously, "Master, Master?"

The other party then turned around and said: "Are you here?"

"Master, my leg is completely healed. Your medicine is so effective! I can start building the house now. I brought the tools with me."

Ah Jin shook his legs first, then he put down his bag and took out a stone awl and a shovel from it: "Where do you want to dig the hole?"

The master shook his head: "No need for a hole, the main part of the house behind me has already been built."

later?

Only then did Ajin turn his gaze behind the other person.

The glowing hill.

It was composed of two layers of huge blue and white square mountains. The light came from these mountains, as if there were passages punched through them.

A hole in the ground?

What technology is this?
After careful observation, Ajin discovered that this type of ground duplex cave had a very symmetrical and smooth beauty. The cavity of each cave was square and exactly the same size, forming a special ring shape.

In less than a day, the master built such a complex and luxurious cave!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ajin would have never believed it.

"Master, you are so strong."

He sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Ah Jin felt lost and confused again: "Such a perfect cave doesn't need my crude craftsmanship at all..."

The master said with some annoyance: "It's called a container house, but it actually has some major flaws."

Zhou Yi's real target is the container houses on the construction site. These ready-made houses can be moved by themselves, and the warrior crab's extraordinary strength is enough to transport them to the ground.

Under his command, the warrior crabs built a two-story courtyard on the beach, surrounding the container house. In this way, the extra containers can be used as warehouses and utility rooms.

Then Zhou Yi discovered some specific troubles.

Each box room has only one entrance, so you need to climb up and down to get in and out of different rooms. Warrior crabs can use simple tools, but cutting and welding are a bit too much for them.

In addition, this kind of simple housing has poor sound insulation, and people will make a clanging sound when they walk a few steps inside. Because it is simply stacked and roughly reinforced, the containers upstairs will still make friction and shaking sounds when the wind blows, which greatly affects the quality of living.

As an unexpected gain, a lot of rhombus stones were found in the shallow waters of the Dead Sea, which are sufficient for basic lighting at night.

Ajin scratched his head after hearing this.

"I don't think these are any problems, Master. If possible, I'll give it a try. Which cave do you live in?"

Zhou Yi said, "Try the first room on the left first. It's not a cave, it's a box-style room."

"Okay, okay."

Then Ajin opened his worn-out backpack and took out a lot of wood chips. He flexibly climbed up and down between the container houses, stuffed wood chips of various sizes into the gaps, covered them with mud, and reinforced them with a stone hammer.

The creaking sound was greatly reduced.

Zhou Yi tried it and walked into the house, which became much quieter.

The young man wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Master, if you still find it noisy, I can paste a layer of mud on the walls inside, add branches and hay, and it will be very quiet. There are actually all kinds of noises underground, so if you do this, you can basically sleep."

This is a good idea though.

However, Zhou Yi still decided that it would be better to get some wood to use as sound insulation panels.

"Very good. Jin, well done."

The boy was a little terrified when he received the compliment: "I didn't help much, I just did a little work. Now that the house is built, I will go back."

As he said this he was about to pack his bags.

"This is just the beginning. There will be many renovation and maintenance issues for the house later. These are all your jobs."

Zhou Yi told him: "You are my employee, so of course you should live in the staff dormitory. Just live in the room next to mine."

Ah Jin waited a moment before reacting. He was pleasantly surprised and surprised at the same time: "Really? Can I live in this luxurious cave...box room?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "I said food and lodging are provided. Go and have a rest."

"But Master, it's night time now. It's time to work."

"Oh, I forgot about that. Then you should check around the dormitory first to see if there are any problems and make some repairs."

"Okay!"

The boy began to move his belongings into the house.

At this moment, the voice of the Red Falcon came from the remote control.

"We found three suspicious targets outside our camp. They have been investigating us for half an hour."

"One of them is an enhancer."

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows.

It’s the first day of moving, so it seems like I have to clean the house.
