Wasteland Development Diary

Chapter 128: The "Lord of Weapons" Lineage

"How do you feel now?"

After adapting to the intense light, Sandsea Lord's vision gradually returned to normal.

It found itself lying on a cold bed, covered with a white sheet, facing a lampshade that was very close.

The light bulbs inside were glowing, and the light was visibly softening rapidly.

Sandsea Lord's head was a little dizzy.

Where was this?

"I am your attending physician, Da Vinci."

A mechanical voice sounded from the large lampshade: "I am pleased that you have awakened naturally. Your physiological characteristics have stabilized.

The photon-absorbing organ in your abdominal wound has been sutured, and the fractured bones have been surgically fixed.

Your recovery ability and will to live are very strong, which has helped you awaken much faster than I expected."

"However, complete recovery will still take at least 3 months."

"During this period, please rest more, drink more water, maintain moderate activity, and supplement stable energy.

For diet, please focus on light foods, do not put weight on bones that have not completely healed, and minimize high-load use of the photon-absorbing organ."

Sandsea Lord was still a little dazed and mumbled an "Okay."

As its brain gradually started working, it remembered.

It had been sent to this place called Maria Hospital after being seriously injured.

Then it fell into a state of confusion, with only Zhou Yi able to enter its mind and have multiple conversations with it.

Sandsea Lord slowly got up from the bed, touching the bandaged wound, which still throbbed faintly.

"Doctor, how long has it been since I arrived here?"

"A total of 32 days since the emergency surgery upon admission."

Only a month?

Sandsea Lord was relieved.

The chairman of Wasteland Development Corporation, Zhou Yi, had accepted its deal and would send an Alien Emerald City to sit in Sandport City.

Lord Hundred Miles would not dare to attack this territory strongly in a short time.

Facing the Aliens that could participate in the war, everyone had to weigh their options.

Not many Sealand Lords possessed Dead Sea Aliens, and even fewer could command and control them in battle.

Sandsea Lord actually had a deduction about Zhou Yi's identity.

Such a human—or humanoid life—with no previous records, appeared in the Mao Valley area with Samurai Crab guards.

Whether facing Star Cluster Chosen Ji Chang or the Seventh Fleet, he retaliated strongly without hesitation, and even revived and controlled the sleeping Emerald City.

Maria Hospital was also an Alien, and even more strangely, hundreds of Victory Snakes pushed the floating island and presented it to Zhou Yi.

Shortly before its accident, the sea Alien "Moon Tooth," which the Seventh Fleet was focusing on, was also taken away by Zhou Yi in person.

In the end, the Seventh Fleet announced something about joint cooperation to reduce maritime transportation risks, in order to save face.

Zhou Yi had a strong preference for collecting Alien weapons.

Including Spine Hunters, many mid- to high-level photon-absorbing species accepted his dispatch.

This person also came from the Dead Sea…

His camp was almost obvious.

Sandsea Lord was basically certain.

Zhou Yi came from the "Lord of Weapons," who was as famous as the Heavenly Kingdom's "Black Emperor" and the Star Cluster's "Old King."

The Lord of Weapons lineage was completely different from the former two major hegemonic forces. They simply collected all kinds of weapons, especially interested in Divine Era weapons, and were known as weapon hunters.

However, this lineage had very few members, acted extremely low-key, but their strength should not be underestimated.

A strong person Sandsea Lord knew was killed on the spot by a weapon hunter for fighting over a weapon.

The characteristics of weapon hunters included: never talking about their past, being surprisingly strong, acting alone, and focusing on collecting a certain type of weapon.

Zhou Yi's task should be to collect Aliens.

So the bait Sandsea Lord threw out in the end was a Dead Sea Alien it knew about. As long as the other party was willing to help stabilize the situation, it would take him there.

This was also the truth.

Under the temptation of the Alien, Zhou Yi agreed as expected.

But now the situation outside still needed to be understood in person.

...

Sandsea Lord leaned against the wall, and its round, fat body slowly walked out of the ward.

Someone was already waiting outside.

"Lord."

It was Chen Jiadong.

He looked delighted and quickly came over to support it: "I heard from Doctor Da Vinci that you might wake up recently, so I have been guarding here.

How do you feel now?"

"Not a big problem."

Sandsea Lord moved its claws: "What is the situation in Sandport now?"

"Lord, everything is operating well. The citizens' emotions are stable, and the fish fry are still growing.

It's just that with the arrival of the spring rainy season, there are more mosquitoes, which has caused redness and itching for many human residents.

Fortunately, there is enough cattail, which has been alleviated."

It seemed that Zhou Yi had fulfilled his promise.

Sandsea Lord felt relieved: "What are Lord Hundred Miles' latest moves?"

"Lord, Lord Hundred Miles is dead."

Huh?

Sandsea Lord was stunned: "Dead? How did he die?"

"Wasteland Development Corporation killed Lord Hundred Miles and made a city-wide announcement in Shell City."

Chen Jiadong said: "Our insider there sent a message confirming the fact.

Lord Hundred Miles was ambushed at sea by Emerald City and other Aliens in Shell City, and fled all the way into the Dead Sea.

After being hunted down, he disappeared completely… Lord Hundred Miles' two deputies are already negotiating to divide Lord Hundred Miles' inheritance."

"If Lord Hundred Miles were still alive, it would be impossible to allow such a situation to occur.

At least he would take his soldiers with him.

Most of the Sea Fighters who survived the battle have left."

Sandsea Lord could hardly believe it.

The imposing Lord Hundred Miles was dead just like that?

"Tell me in detail, what exactly happened."

"Yes, Lord."

Chen Jiadong said: "After you fell into a coma, I came over to check the situation, and then…"

After listening to the whole story, Sandsea Lord was still a little confused.

Lord Hundred Miles' harassment troops entered the hinterland of Wasteland Development Corporation, and as a result, Zhou Yi retaliated with a surprise decapitation.

The key was that it was too fast.

From the incident to the confirmation of Lord Hundred Miles' defeat and death, it only took two days, and most of the time was spent on sea raids.

Lord Hundred Miles did not realize the approaching threat of death at all, and paid the most tragic price for his misjudgment.

This further convinced Sandsea Lord.

He was a weapon hunter!

After breaking through Shell City, Zhou Yi did not occupy it, but evacuated without hesitation, showing no interest in the city with nearly 50,000 people.

His only target was Lord Hundred Miles.

Weapon hunters were like this, leaving after achieving their purpose.

Presumably, the other party was unwilling to have Emerald City standing in Sandport City, so he chose a simpler and faster way for him, which was to kill Lord Hundred Miles.

The situation became clear after the rain.

Sandsea Lord felt a burst of joy in his heart and couldn't help laughing.

Fate, ah, is so unpredictable.

A month ago, it was still struggling under the heavy pressure imposed by Lord Hundred Miles.

Who could have imagined?

A month later, it was Lord Hundred Miles who died?

Its injury this time was really worth it. It woke up from a sleep, and the problem was solved.

Sandsea Lord quickly calmed down.

"Go see Chairman Zhou first."

...

Through Doctor Da Vinci, Sandsea Lord learned that Zhou Yi was at the sea farming platform outside Mushroom Forest at this time, which was about a dozen kilometers away from here, not a short distance.

Chen Jiadong was sent all the way here by Red-Eyed Vulture, but Red-Eyed Vulture could not support Sandsea Lord's weight at all.

But it still decided to grit its teeth and swim across from the Dead Sea.

After learning about this, Doctor Da Vinci suggested: "If you insist, you can go to the platform of Photon Slag Dam, where you can wait for the company's shuttle bus, which can send you directly outside the platform."

"There are two shuttle buses that run back and forth, and it only takes 20 minutes from Emerald City to the farming platform."

Sandsea Lord put on a large cloak to cover its tall body, and then walked out of Maria Hospital.

The sun was very strong outside.

They walked all the way onto the dam, which was illuminated white.

Chen Jiadong asked two workers, helped Sandsea Lord walk another section, and finally arrived at the so-called platform.

It was actually a large shed with a square-edged metal roof on top to shelter from the wind and rain.

Many workers sat on the silver benches below waiting.

They were dressed in various ways, some wearing Dead Sea clothes, some wearing linen coats.

The same thing was that they had adapted to traveling in the daytime and were chatting and laughing very relaxedly.

The arrival of Chen Jiadong and the tall Sandsea Lord attracted curious glances from many people.

A thin young man wearing baggy clothes suddenly came over: "Are you the mayor of Sandport City, right? I used to see you giving speeches outside.

My name is A Wei, and I used to stay in Sandport City for a while, but I was kicked out because I didn't have money."

Chen Jiadong could only barely nod.

"Then the one next to you is…"

His hesitant words attracted everyone's attention.

Sandsea Lord cursed inwardly, this kid was deliberately making trouble.

But it reacted quickly, immediately opened its cloak, revealing its face, trying to make a kind smile, and said in fluent human language: "Hello, I am Sandsea Lord."

Everyone present suddenly gasped.

"Sealand Lord!"

"I can actually see Sealand Lord!"

"It's really Lord Sandsea Lord!"

At this moment, a car drove from a distance and slowly stopped next to the platform.

People were still a little afraid and did not dare to get on the car one by one, waiting for Sandsea Lord to get on first.

The appearance of the shuttle bus was a bit simple. The front of the car was a small car.

Behind it was an old agricultural trailer with some seats on it. It looked like this was a simple carriage.

Sandsea Lord and Chen Jiadong went up first.

As Sandsea Lord's heavy body boarded, the entire carriage also swayed slightly.

The others still did not dare to move, seemingly wanting to wait for the next bus.

The driver of the car just shouted to the outside: "Get on the car, get on the car, what are you doing standing there? The car is leaving if you don't get on!"

Sandsea Lord also waved to them, trying to make itself appear approachable: "Come on, everyone, come up, squeeze in."

After getting permission, the people below got on the car one by one.

The young man named A Wei took the lead to climb up and sat next to Sandsea Lord.

He said excitedly in a low voice: "Lord Sandsea Lord, actually… I admire you very much."

Sandsea Lord was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Really?"

"Really, genuine."

A Wei nodded: "I remember very clearly that you inspected the streets of Sandport City once, and I was picking up feces on the roadside.

At that time, a bricklayer fell from the building, and you flew up and rescued him."

"The winter before last year, one of my buddies was about to freeze to death, and you ordered to distribute some mushroom soup for free.

He survived on that sip of soup."

Sandsea Lord said modestly: "I still have many shortcomings for not being able to keep everyone from going hungry.

You have suffered a lot, I have not done enough."

"Not bitter, not bitter! Now we all have enough to eat and live well, following the chairman!" The other party said with a smile.

Most of the other Sealand Lords were aloof and unapproachable.

Sandsea Lord went the other way, creating an approachable image, which attracted many humans with skills to come and join it.

After tasting the sweetness, it worked even harder to improve its image of loving the people like its own children, and threw the responsibility for accidents to the mayor to bear.

If a person fell to their death, it would be a loss of its available labor force, and Sandsea Lord could not bear it.

The shuttle bus drove all the way to the dam.

This dam was much longer than Sandsea Lord thought. It almost covered the entire coastline of the Dead Sea.

Along the way, Sandsea Lord took the opportunity to learn about the Wasteland Development Corporation from A Wei and the others.

The more it knew, the more frightened it became.

Farms, mushrooms, photon slag sand, and now shell farming… all industries were being laid out.

It seemed that Zhou Yi was preparing to live here for a long time.

But from a good point of view.

Such a special and powerful neighbor was a natural umbrella.

As long as it could get information about Dead Sea Aliens, Zhou Yi would be its reliable and powerful ally.

Sandsea Lord made up its mind.

It must seize this opportunity firmly.
