Wasteland Development Diary

Zhou Yi rode the Emerald City into the high sky and immediately deployed his formation at the front line.

Satellite imagery showed that the mechanized army was continuously gathering and marching approximately 200 kilometers northeast of Sandport.

At the forefront were the aerial units, with 6 to 12 drones forming a squadron. They spread out, densely packed, almost completely covering the surrounding airspace.

These drones were not prototypes like the Kestrels, but rather light-imprinted machines made of lightweight aluminum alloy, each reflecting metallic light under the sun.

They were divided into several types.

Kestrel provided real-time data: "Those shaped like triangular metal sheets are E-1 class small reconnaissance drones. They are the smallest and most agile, their primary duty is to record the surrounding environment using their internal light imprints and synchronize it with the aerial combat center in the rear, supporting the aerial vision."

"The disc-shaped ones are E-2 class early warning aircraft, used for long-range search and surveillance of aerial or maritime targets. They can identify the basic strength of various targets through specific devices."

"The spherical drones are E-2 class fighters, equipped with D-C grade high-speed cannons. They also have self-destruct devices; if the airframe is damaged beyond a threshold and cannot return, they will self-destruct and strike nearby targets."

"The largest shuttle-shaped drones are E-3 class attack aircraft. They are equipped with B-grade main guns and can destroy various ground equipment, soldier positions, fortifications, transportation hubs, and building facilities."

"In addition, there are combat command aircraft. With a scale exceeding 2000 units, an E-4 class command aircraft is needed to simultaneously coordinate and command so many units. It should be hidden in the rear and technically disguised to avoid direct strikes from our side."

Zhou Yi's heart sank upon hearing this.

This number of drones, if they broke through the defense line and entered the airspace above Sandport, would be a catastrophe for ordinary people.

He then looked at another group.

On the tablet, under the satellite's perspective, warships were also neatly lined up in the Dead Sea mist, heading towards them in an orderly and high-speed manner.

"Regarding ships, there are currently three types of warships that can be observed."

"Comprehensive supply ships, totaling 27, mainly transport and supply fuel, ammunition, water, and other necessities."

"B-class heavy cruisers, currently numbering 28, have the same strength as Qin Xie's White Dove. They are each equipped with two C-class frigates, capable of coordinated combat and intercepting attacks."

"B+ class destroyers, 7 ships. They are equipped with long-range light-imprint missiles with long-range strike capabilities, capable of directly launching E-4 class missiles from the Dead Sea, with a maximum range of 50 kilometers. These 6 destroyers are surrounded by a large number of drones and frigates for protection."

"A-class cruisers, 2 ships, equipped with A-class main guns with a range of 4 kilometers, capable of relatively accurate bombing. They are also equipped with long-range light-imprint missiles and various interference or special devices, and may even have death ray weapons."

Zhou Yi's heart sank upon hearing this.

The Seventh Fleet of the Dead Sea Knights only had 5 B-class ships in total. This unit dispatched by the 'Security Joint Guard' had 35 B-class warships, and even the top-tier A-class warships were participating.

The most troublesome were the two core combat forces.

The B+ class destroyers, with a missile range of 50 kilometers, brought unprecedented pressure to Zhou Yi.

"Can the missiles be intercepted?"

"It requires corresponding air defense interception devices."

Kestrel said: "Once a long-range light-imprint missile is launched, due to its internal design and the characteristic of absorbing Dead Sea light, it will generate a certain acceleration, with a maximum speed of 1225 kilometers per hour, which is Mach 1."

"However, due to process limitations, it is impossible to ensure that the light-imprint structure can maintain stability at this speed, so the final detonation distance is 50 kilometers. It will also explode if it hits a target or collides, and it will automatically explode when it reaches this range limit."

This speed, perhaps only the Focusing Body can intercept it.

Zhou Yi pondered in his heart.

"A-class cruisers, you said they would also be equipped with death ray weapons, what do you mean?"

"It is a special weapon that uses the Dead Sea environment for strategic strikes."

Kestrel explained: "Over the years, the mechanized cities have accumulated a large number of Dead Sea research results. Although most of them are failed experiences, some achievements are applicable."

"However, due to the nature of the Dead Sea, most of the applicable achievements have great destructive power. They are applied to some special fields, creating various devices that have long been kept secret or confidential, and detailed information cannot be obtained."

"Death ray weapons are a general term for this type of device."

Zhou Yi thought of the [Dead Sea Transformation Project], and Max, the air purifier, was a participant and witness.

Trouble.

The 'Security Joint Guard' not only has high combat unit strength and astonishing numbers, but also secret weapons with unknown intelligence.

The War of Honor had already made Zhou Yi realize that large-scale combat was not about comparing sizes, but about relying on the coordination of the sea, land, and air forces to achieve three-dimensional warfare.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

Zhou Yi decided he couldn't wait any longer.

He couldn't allow the enemy to get any closer to the Sandport area.

He activated Mind Sync.

"Jionghuo Cang, Wu Yi, sortie."

"Target, the enemy's two A-class cruisers."

The Focusing Body rushed into the enemy camp at the first moment.

Satellite view clearly showed its linear light blade directly hitting one of the A-class cruisers.

A strange ripple of vibration emanated from around the cruiser, directly dissolving and dispersing the light blade.

Jionghuo Cang released dozens of light blades in a row, but was unable to break through its defense.

The cruiser rose up with clumps of black mist.

These mist clusters connected with each other, weaving a bizarre fiber network in the air, actually locking the Focusing Body inside.

Jionghuo Cang struggled left and right in the black mist, his movements restricted, and for a time he was completely unable to break through.

Zhou Yi watched all this, and his heart sank.

"It should be a death ray weapon."

Kestrel said: "To block and weaken the Focusing Body, there are indeed ways to use smoke weapons or refract it with Dead Sea light mist. But to completely reflect the attack, it must be a death ray weapon that reaches A-class strength to do it."

"The 'Security Joint Guard' has prepared various countermeasures and has special means to deal with the company's A-class employees."

Zhou Yi noticed that Bone Man Wu Yi was also in trouble.

Quicksand-like whirlpools appeared on the Dead Sea.

The originally extremely low-density mist sea was also scattered with sand, which contracted and gathered under Wu Yi's sand control ability, trapping more than a dozen ships around him in place, spinning around.

But this process only lasted for a few minutes, and then the quicksand quickly subsided, and everything returned to normal.

The Bone Man was also gone.

Zhou Yi knew.

The Bone Man was likely restrained by the weapons they had prepared.

Zhou Yi remembered what the Land Official Ringo had said when dealing with the Overwhelming Duke.

"There is no absolutely invincible ability, any ability has its limitations, or rather, flaws."

The newest novels are first published on Liu/9/Shu/Ba/./Com!

"Whether it's sand or dust, there are a lot of data and experimental records. There are many ways to deal with this ever-changing ability..."

Both A-class employees were caught in a targeted hard battle.

At this time, Niger said, "I'll give it a try."

"Blackthorn can break through their defense line in the Light Core Body state."

"If we can solve those two core ones, we should be able to break this situation. We used to rush into formations like this when we dealt with swarms of insects and monsters."

Zhou Yi said, "Be careful."

"Don't worry, Chairman, watch my skills!"

The Mud Tree Man controlled Blackthorn and turned into a black light, killing into the enemy formation, turning into an indigo blue ball of lightning, flashing and striking in the enemy formation, like an unparalleled general breaking into a group of miscellaneous soldiers.

No unit could stop the Light Core Body's impact. The escort ships were directly crushed into two pieces, and all kinds of artillery fire poured on it could not hurt Blackthorn at all.

Blackthorn pierced through the encirclement and crashed into an A-class cruiser, releasing a bright light that shot straight into the sky, and a surging shock wave spread in all directions.

The ship was destroyed on the spot.

Then Niger drove Blackthorn back, with the aura of Guan Yu warming wine and beheading Hua Xiong.

"Chairman, I took down one ship. It's just that the energy is not enough, and it needs to be recharged."

Zhou Yi asked, "How long will it take?"

"10 hours. If we were fighting on land, I could continue the Blackthorn Light Core Body stage with the high-purity power supply from Yalong Bay, but it can't be done in the Dead Sea."

The charging interval was too long.

Fighting on home soil was the worst outcome.

At that time, whether we won or lost, it would cause devastating damage to Sandport.

Zhou Yi frowned tightly.

Yuanxiao volunteered at this time: "Chairman, I can hold them for 10 hours."

"As long as you let Sun Hao come over and help me with treatment, I can do it."

Zhou Yi shook his head: "It's not your turn to act yet."

He also knew a little in his heart.

As a Death Angel, the mechanized city couldn't possibly not know about Yuanxiao, and there was likely a way to deal with her.

Mai Ba needed to unleash his power at extremely close range.

But the 'Security Joint Guard' had to be blocked on the Dead Sea beyond 50 kilometers to prevent artillery fire from landing in the Sandport hinterland.

We can only fight here and defeat the menacing enemy.

Zhou Yi's heart hardened.

"Curling, I need your help."

"No problem."

"Help me take down the enemy."

"I'm not a dedicated combat member, but I'll try my best to try."

Zhou Yi walked out of the room and stood on the roof.

He placed his prosthetic right hand on his left shoulder.

A large amount of mist rose crazily from his shoulder.

The huge vortex of mist formed an incredibly blurred shadow in the sky above Emerald City. As soon as it appeared, the visibility nearby suddenly decreased, and a large amount of energy and light were swept into its body.

Zhou Yi saw that the Dead Sea light reaction emitted by Curling at this time had changed from purple to almost black.

It further expanded its body in the air, adsorbing all the nearby clouds, turning into a huge cuboid cloud chamber, suspended above the enemy, covering the sky and the sun.

Zhou Yi said silently in his heart.

Atmospheric creature that makes the world change color, let me see what you're made of.
