Wasteland Development Diary
#455 - Saint George the Dragon Slayer
"Chairman, here's what happened..."
Electric Cat 333 is one of the Outland Alien Recruitment members stationed at Building 7.
The cat houses, liquid batteries, and conductive networks deployed in various locations are sufficient for the Electric Cats to survive locally for 4 months. The company's airships will airdrop battery supplies every month, and if needed, the airships will also carry them to other areas.
Two months ago, Electric Cat 333 was deployed to an area covered in weathered rocks.
Here, there was a peculiar architectural lifeform.
Half of its body was buried in the mountain. With the help of Building 7 and satellites, 333 established a connection with this architectural lifeform.
"Hello, Big Guy."
"You... hello, can you hear my voice?"
333 was all too familiar with the other party's surprised expression.
As an Electric Cat responsible for recruiting aliens, it had seen it all. It's normal; even within the company, the direct connection between aliens and Electric Cats is relatively recent.
In the outside world's perception, aliens are untalkative, incomprehensible monsters. They cannot communicate even among themselves; proximity only generates threat and tension, leading to mutual slaughter.
This alien trapped in the mountains was named St. George's Cathedral.
It was very stubborn.
"I want to get out of the mountain myself."
"I can do it."
The Electric Cat asked if it had run into the mountains to get away from the Dead Sea.
"No, I was brought here by a group of red creatures."
After some investigation.
333 understood that St. George was talking about Red Fur Monsters.
The local Red Fur Monsters encountered a powerful challenge, couldn't defeat it, and sought help from this cathedral.
St. George came to help, but was almost beaten to death, leaving only some rubble. It took a lot of time to barely recover.
"The enemy is very strong."
St. George's tone was regretful: "Its tier is above mine; I am not a match."
"Then why did you still fight?" The Electric Cat was puzzled.
"Protecting the weak is my nature and mission!"
The other party argued: "I must stand up when I encounter injustice."
The Electric Cat couldn't understand this alien's thinking: "Isn't rushing up when you can't win just throwing your life away? If you want to help the Red Fur Monsters, you should take them to a safer place."
"What if the opponent is a Light Burst? How would you fight? Swing your stone fists at the air?"
St. George was speechless.
After a long while, it stammered, "In short, one must try their best to protect the weak and innocent. That's who I am."
The Electric Cat felt something was suspicious.
Red Fur Monsters are found everywhere, known for their cunning and ferocity; they are by no means a vulnerable group.
The Electric Cat retrieved satellite monitoring and discovered that a group of Red Fur Monsters was indeed active near the Dead Sea. They traveled in packs, raiding the surrounding areas.
This area is a rocky terrain with sparse vegetation, no towns or human settlements, but there is a Mechanized Lord—the Leclerc XLR Tank TE-11.
That Mechanized Lord, leading 17 Mechanized Thugs, formed a powerful raiding gang, using this place as a rear base.
In the past, the Mechanized Raiding Gang and the Red Fur Monsters lived in peace.
But not long ago, the Mechanized Raiding Gang was raiding in the Dead Sea when they were bombarded and annihilated on the spot by the Jurisdictional Faction Navy that happened to pass by. Only the Tank Lord, maintaining the rear, was spared.
The Red Fur Monsters suddenly became active and began to attack this lone Tank Lord, wanting to obtain all the treasures of this raiding gang.
Who knew that the Leclerc Tank was incredibly powerful, fighting against the many without fear, blasting the Red Fur Monsters with heavy casualties.
Then they went to St. George for help.
This alien originally stood on a cliff by the coast, close to the Red Fur Monsters.
The Red Fur Monsters took the opportunity to feint, destroyed the tank's secret camp, stole its supplies, equipment, and treasures, and then fled.
The Leclerc Tank chased them all the way into the Dead Sea.
Soon after, the Red Fur Monsters were still active on this land, but the Tank Lord was never seen again.
The Recursive City Data Center collected relevant information.
"According to the serial number and wanted list, it has been confirmed that the Leclerc XLR Tank TE-11's chassis and turret have now been traded in the Exempt Town of Dushan District in the Overwhelmed Public Territory."
In short.
The Tank Lord was lured into the Dead Sea and killed by the Red Fur Monsters, disassembled into parts, and sold.
Electric Cat 333 told St. George about this situation.
"They were just using me..."
This alien found it hard to accept.
"Neither side is weak, nor innocent..."
"Why is it like this..."
St. George fell into confusion.
The Electric Cat said, "It's not a big deal. Aren't you still alive? Nothing matters more than life and death, as our Chairman said."
"Chairman? Is that the leader of your company?"
"Yes."
St. George asked, "What kind of person is he?"
"I can't describe it well. The outside world says the Chairman is a Mechanized Destroyer, a Dragon Slayer, an Alien Collector..."
The Electric Cat thought for a while: "Anyway, to Electric Cats, he is a good person."
"Originally, Electric Cats couldn't run around everywhere because we need electricity as energy and conductive materials as a medium. The Chairman has laid out a comprehensive network, building conductive systems everywhere, as well as a large number of generators and cat houses, so we can go anywhere along the conductors, above and below ground."
Electric Cat 333 thought.
The alien's situation is similar to that of Electric Cats, with obvious advantages and disadvantages.
The aliens locked on isolated islands were just like electric cats that could only move by stepping on conductors.
Saint George suddenly said, "Wait a minute, is he a Dragon Slayer?"
"That's right. The chairman killed a dragon in the Dragon Palace of the Forbidden Continent. The entire battle only took 15 seconds. This is well-known."
"Actually, I am also a Dragon Slayer!"
"…"
The electric cat expressed doubt.
Saint George repeatedly emphasized, "I really am a Dragon Slayer. The Dragon Slayer Saint George has fallen into a long sleep. He and I are actually one entity. It's just because the conscious entity is too weak that his name and deeds are rarely circulated outside, so it's difficult to wake up…"
"That chairman is also a Dragon Slayer, so he must also have the spirit of a Dragon Slayer who helps the weak and eliminates the strong!"
"I want to join the company! I want to see the chairman!"
…
"Finally, we came here on a squall line during a rainstorm, Chairman. That's the situation."
Electric Cat 333 finished his recollection.
The newest novels are first published on 69shu吧!
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
He walked out of Emerald City along the elevator and came to the outside of Saint George's Church.
It was dark, the wind was strong, and the rain was still heavy.
Yuanxiao was holding an umbrella, so Zhou Yi didn't get wet at all.
Zhou Yi placed his hand on the water-soaked, reddish-brown wall of the church.
Energy input, consciousness synchronization activated.
"Saint George's Church."
"Are you… Chairman?"
"It is I."
"You are a Dragon Slayer, and I am also a Dragon Slayer! We are kindred spirits!"
Zhou Yi didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"I once slayed a dragon, really. In the land where I was, there was once an evil dragon that forced the local residents to offer it living sacrifices."
"There were still people there at the time. They believed in me and asked me. This allowed me to briefly enter the Dragon Slayer Saint George state, obtaining unprecedented power and confidence. I killed that dragon!"
Saint George regretted, "It's just that I haven't encountered a dragon since then. My Dragon Slayer skills have no way to be used, which is a real pity."
"There must still be many evil dragons in this world, right? Please tell me, and I will eliminate them!"
"You wait a moment…"
Zhou Yi then activated the Dragon Mark.
An unhappy voice sounded in the mark, "I am selecting a new successor. What's the matter?"
Zhou Yi asked about the Dragon Slayer Saint George.
"There is such a thing."
The Dragon was very frank, "Over there, someone used rituals and sacrifices to summon me to slaughter humans. In the Western Continent, I mostly appear in the form of a beast. Good and bad names can bring us power."
"That guy's ability restrains me. He rushed over ranting about 'protection', 'good triumphs over evil', 'fighting for the weak', and other strange things… He was quite strong."
"Seeing that there was no benefit in fighting, I simply died."
Zhou Yi thought of it.
The Dragon's [Holy Spirit Substitute] can create a substitute consciousness, which can be used to escape at the moment of death and return to the Great Holy Spirit.
This is a god-level skill for running away.
The Dragon continued, "His ability is strongly correlated with me. The stronger I am, the more he needs to fight me. In fact, it is to spread his name and influence through me."
"Regardless of whether he can win against me, in short, when talking about dragons, it is easy to talk about Dragon Slayers."
It sneered, "It's like a pile of stinky dog shit. If you step on it, you lose. If you beat it, there is no benefit. If you encounter it, you are unlucky. A Dragon Slayer is just a title that蹭s the Dragon's fame."
Zhou Yi always felt that the other party seemed to be alluding to himself.
Unfortunately, there is no evidence.
Disconnect.
Zhou Yi turned his attention back to Saint George, "Besides your Dragon Slayer experience, do you have any other talents? Or things you are relatively skilled at?"
"I have combat experience! Although I lose more than I win…"
Saint George also said, "There is also the [Savior Creed]."
The name sounded like a special mechanism.
Zhou Yi became interested, "What is the effect? How strong is it?"
"I don't know the specific strength of the Savior. However, this characteristic can gain power from protecting the weak, saving the defenseless, and eliminating disasters."
Saint George said, "As long as you promise a creed in my body and follow the creed you promised, you can gain power growth in every battle, regardless of whether you win or lose."
"The more Savior Creed holders there are, and the more creeds completed, the stronger I become."
"In this world, everyone can be a savior!"
Zhou Yi thought of a question, "Since there is such a creed, can you set a simple promise? For example, if someone is thirsty, give him water to drink."
"What you said also exists, but the difficulty of the creed and the increased power are equal. The higher the rescue difficulty, the stronger the power gained. This is the power connected to the consciousness side through Dragon Slayer Saint George."
"If it is just a simple creed, then there may be no power gain."
Zhou Yi understood.
The core mechanism is that difficulty and returns are equal.
That's okay.
Now that everyone in Emerald City's income has increased and life is getting better, we should also improve our spiritual pursuit and spiritual civilization construction.
With Saint George organizing some positive energy creeds to encourage everyone to help each other, it's not bad.
Zhou Yi said solemnly, "Welcome to join."
"You accepted me? Thank you!"
Saint George said excitedly, "When are we going to slay a dragon?"
"…"
Zhou Yi thought for a while, "You still need to practice more. You can't even beat a tank, how can you fight the current dragon? It is very strong. First, develop and learn properly."
Saint George said, "You are right! I will hone my strength!"
