Wasteland Development Diary

Zhou Yi listened with astonishment: "The public zone is something the company explored, but I didn't expect it to develop to this stage in United City, while over there we are simply going around in circles, really quite ashamed."

Kunming Station remarked, "It's just a different direction. Your company's direction is higher and larger, transforming Jade City, Wuhu Elevated Bridge, and Maria Hospital into Light Core Bodies, exhibiting tremendous evolutionary strength and capabilities that have great strategic significance."

"We in United City are constrained by conditions, so we can only choose horizontal development, based on our local characteristics and foundation, to try to unite more Building Lives together, resulting in today's Unions."

The young chairman chuckled, "Indeed. Everyone is developing a route suitable for themselves, and now that we are combining forces, we can exert power far greater than 1+1."

"Exactly."

Kunming Station stated directly, "Mr. Zhou, United City wishes to participate in combat against the Heavenly People! Requesting to join!"

The counterpart replied, "Wouldn't that violate your longstanding neutral stance?"

"In this world, there's no true neutrality; neutrality is also a stance."

Kunming Station went straight to the point, "In the past, although we claimed neutrality, we actually accepted funding and protection from Mechanical City, so we were bound by their constraints and influences. Only United City was able to enjoy a peaceful remote corner."

"Initially, we were also objects of suppression and annexation by old forces, but because your company was remarkably prominent, it helped us attract a lot of attention and animosity, enabling us to develop steadily over these years."

"However, if Building Lives want to truly earn respect and recognition and become a vital force of this world, they can't keep hiding and avoiding."

"Without fighting together, there can be no trust among comrades."

"This time United City wants to step into the world's center."

"We choose to stand by your side; this time we won't dodge or evade anymore! Our attitude is the attitude of all Building Lives in United City."

...

Not long ago, Kunming Station received notification from Zhou Yi. The Wasteland Development Company will transform the Heavenly People, ending the era of Heavenly People colonizing Earth, allowing Earth Life to regain independence.

The world has reached a critical fork in the road.

During discussions within United City.

Kunming Station directly stated, "I vote to participate in battle."

"There are three reasons."

"Firstly, the catalyst for Building Life evolution is on the company's side. Being with them is beneficial for the growth and evolution of Building Lives."

"Secondly, the Heavenly People's ruling power has severely declined and is not invincible. The company has powerful external allies like the Giant Bone Fish, which has a record of killing Heavenly People and is training more Bone Fish Warriors to hunt Heavenly People..."

"According to the information I've obtained from the Dream Demon Clan, five of the six acting Heavenly People on Earth are openly rebellious or neutral. Neutral ones are essentially an acknowledgment, and the loyalists have all been eliminated by the company."

"Thirdly, the company is not without alternatives. Zhou Yi has been vigorously developing the Moon for several years, which is a forbidden area for Heavenly People, so even if this war for independence is unfavorable or fails, the company can relocate to the Moon to regroup."

Kunming Station told other Building Lives, "Most importantly, although we are doing well in horizontal development, there will always be a limit to numbers."

"To move Building Lives further, we must ally with the company to break through the lifecycle into Light Core Bodies."

"Allow me to emphasize one last point, the recent near-decade of golden growth is due to the company's brought production power and wealth skyrocketing, greatly alleviating conflicts among various fields and groups. This situation is not replicable."

"If the company fails against the Heavenly People, then Earth's order will reshuffle, and United City and Building Lives will face impacts and dangers from the chaotic era..."

"Without the company acting as a ballast and buffer, Building Lives lack a collective consensus and unified organization, and will still be picked off one by one, becoming prey in the eyes of various sides."

"If the company succeeds, we will be left behind because we didn't catch this boat. We will be excluded without fighting together."

"Thus, by participating in battle, even if defeated we can relocate United City to the Moon, where energy abounds, putting Building Lives in their element. This worst case scenario is highly favorable to us. Only this way can we enter the Moon, which is under lockdown and control."

"Additionally."

Kunming Station continued, "There is one more point you may have overlooked. That is the Mechanical Life group led by the Legal Front, which is completely siding with the company this time."

"Mechanical Life is the group that values data and results the most. They will compute everything in the world and make decisions after weighing gains and losses."

"Their siding with the company is for one reason: repetitious calculations by Mechanical City indicate the company has over a 60% chance of victory against the Heavenly People!"

Kunming Station initially thought this decision would lead to great differences in opinions.

Unexpectedly, in the final vote, only two Building Lives in all of United City abstained, and one opposed participation—the reason being that the member from old Japan, the [Peace Monument], is an absolute pacifist, refusing any form of war and conflict.

Everyone else agreed to participate in the battle.

The main reason is that everyone desires to become Light Core Bodies.

Also, they can flee to the Moon if defeated, offering high rewards at low risk.

...

After listening to Kunming Station's explanation for participating in the battle, Zhou Yi revealed an expression of understanding.

"I must clarify, although we won't be using traditional warfare tactics, battling the Heavenly People presents uncontrollable risks of casualties."

"Understood. We are prepared to bear the consequences."

Kunming Station said, "However... could we first allow our Building Lives in United City to complete the Light Core Body advancement? Being stronger would surely be more beneficial to the overall combat, right?"

The counterpart smiled, "Of course. Any resources must first cater to our warriors, regardless of whether the battle is on the front line, in logistics, or in the technical realm, they are all battlefields."

"The 37 Building Lives here, we will deploy the Solid Cloud Elixir tomorrow to help you evolve into Light Core Bodies."

Kunming Station was overjoyed.

Worth it!

"There's one more thing."

Zhou Yi suddenly said, "The Building Union reminds me of the Heavenly People's structure; they are Assembly Life, composite life formed by two or more basic units."

"Your Union here is essentially a type of Assembly."

"I am thinking... if we evolve and propel down this path, expanding larger and stronger bodies, integrating more basic unit lives, isn't it another form of Heavenly People?"

Kunming Station was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

The young man smiled slightly, "We can create our own Heavenly People using Building Life to fight against the Heavenly People."

Kunming Station was stunned, "Is that... truly possible? The disparity in Life Strength is too great..."

"Don't worry."

The counterpart waved his hand, "We have professional instructors."

"Just now, I've reached an agreement with the Giant Bone Fish Ghost. It will specially train Building Lives to become super warriors capable of opposing the Heavenly People."

Kunming Station felt somewhat resigned.

Originally, I thought Building Lives only needed to handle tasks like logistics and residence.

Now it seems they must go to the front, and many peers may sacrificed... sigh.

Zhou Yi seemed to see through its thoughts: "Are you worried about many casualties?"

"That's unnecessary."

"Warriors cultivated by Giant Bone Fish to oppose Heavenly People are only suppressive and overwhelming, not a so-called battlefield tug-of-war."

"As long as they succeed in emerging, they'll be the Heavenly People's assassins."

"It highly evaluates you, believing you possess the strongest Earth Life talent, providing a great advantage against Heavenly People."

Kunming Station was taken aback.

The Building Lives that were previously captured and sold everywhere, the Building Lives entering the Dead Sea would crash and dormancy.

Now they say we have the advantage in opposing Heavenly People?

Initially, the Building Lives participating in the battle were typically suited for logistics and assistance… But now we've become the main force? And Heavenly People assassins?

This world is really incomprehensible.
