Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 531 Now!
"Brother, Mr. Zhou has found the identity of Agent Number Four!"

Song Xian excitedly ran to share the news.

Zhang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou Yi: "Can you guys do that too...?"

"The company has internal information channels."

Zhou Yi casually remarked, "According to our confirmation, this Agent Number Four is also of mutant origin."

Zhang Zhi frowned: "Why are mutants making things difficult for other mutants?"

"This is to solidify our position."

Zhou Yi took a sip of tea, crossed his legs, and sat on the sofa.

“Each of the seven agents represents a group, and their ecological niche can only accommodate one agent. Once other agents of the same kind evolve and become too powerful, they will threaten their position.”

“Under non-death conditions, there are two scenarios for succession.”

"One possibility is that life forms break through Earth's atmosphere and orbit, relying on their own power to travel into the universe. Such life forms will be captured by gem transmuters in outer orbit and sent into the body of a celestial being, thus becoming the new substitute."

"However, it is very difficult to do this. Even light cores mostly rely on spatial channels to enter space. It is difficult to break through the escape velocity and escape Earth's gravity by relying solely on the physical body."

"Furthermore, the extreme environments of space pose a tremendous challenge to life. Low-pressure spaces, extreme high and low temperatures, ubiquitous high-speed micro-fragment collisions, radiation from various unknown sources, and the impact of consciousness storms that sweep across the universe... Basically, only transmutants can overcome these problems. To date, there is only one case on Earth that has broken through through this path."

Zhou Yi recounted the information given by Canghai Jun.

"Secondly, in the same ecological niche, a superior individual emerges. The old one will be replaced and disappear, and may very well become experimental consumables for the Celestial Beings."

"Like this Number Four, he needs to ensure no stronger mutants emerge, so he closely monitors the mutant community. Wu Gang's 'borrowing power' ability allowed him to utilize the strength of other individuals to quickly snowball his power; this is a high-potential, high-growth ability. Plus, Wu Gang is already Skywalker, posing a threat to him."

"So even if Wu Gang wasn't killed by the Heavenly Kingdom, he would still be watched by him to death."

What Zhou Yi said was also the inference given by Canghai Jun.

Zhang Zhi pondered for a moment: "May I ask, what is the origin of those life forms that rely on their own strength to break through Earth's gravity and fly into the universe?"

"It is said to be a bony fish."

"Bone fish?"

The other person looked astonished and gestured as if darting around: "Is it the kind of bone fish I know?"

"Yes, that's it."

Zhou Yi nodded.

He had the same reaction when he first heard about it.

The most common bony fish in the Dead Sea can't even jump out of the Dead Sea and is killed by other light-evolving species everywhere. How could it possibly break through the atmosphere and exceed the escape velocity to enter the universe?

Canghai Jun said, "Chairman, it's absolutely true. It may sound unbelievable, but it's true..."

According to him.

That scene was recorded by the Weaver of that time using the Great Holy Spirit.

It was a giant bony fish that burst out of the Dead Sea, breaking through the open ocean and the atmosphere. It was larger than a gray whale and had a large number of dense skeletal structures all over its body.

It started slowly, then gradually accelerated, and after breaking free of the Dead Sea, it created a trajectory cloud.

Once it breaks through the open sea, the bone fish's speed is comparable to that of a rocket, and the friction between its body and the air produces a bright flame.

That was the initial period after the circular flow erupted.

This was also the era when Acting Number One still existed.

"Number One followed and communicated with the giant bone fish."

"The bone fish is flying towards the sun. The fish said it needed more energy, and Earth could no longer meet its needs. At that time, it was captured by the Transformers and sent to the sun. However, this giant bone fish is not in the Earth's generation sequence, so it should be doing things on the sun."

So said Lord Canghai.

Zhou Yi then realized that native life forms of this strength had also existed on Earth during the wasteland era, traversing space with their flesh and blood.

"The main reason why this bone fish was able to rise to a level close to that of a metamorphosis is that it burrowed deep underground and gained some kind of power in the mantle, thus producing an evolution far beyond its peers."

"Later, Number One went to investigate the tracks of the giant bone fish and found its dwelling deep beneath the mantle. She didn't say exactly what was there; it seemed to be some kind of taboo that couldn't be spoken of."

Canghai Jun said, "It was only after the giant bone fish left that City 404 came into being, and the address was taken from the bone fish's former underground dwelling. The deep secrets of this planet are hidden there."

Regarding the legendary bone fish, Zhou Yi omitted the parts about its underground secrets, only mentioning its departure from the Dead Sea and its entry into the universe.

Zhang Zhi murmured, "Indeed, there is hope." "Bone fish are also the most ordinary life forms, yet they can create amazing history... We also have a chance."

Zhou Yi steered the conversation back on track: "Anything is possible, but let's talk about the most pressing issues first."

"That fourth agent was responsible for Wu Gang's death and also suppressed you, eliminating the most promising talents among you. He is your greatest enemy, isn't he?"

"Yes."

Zhang Zhi nodded: "I hope to use the company's strength to fight against him, and I hope you can lend us a hand."

Zhou Yi said, "I'll make him disappear, and you give me the Stone Transformation technique. How about it?"

The other party was stunned.

"Disappearance... that's no problem! The biggest threat to mutants right now, the one holding us by the throat, is him. Heaven and we no longer have any conflict of interest."

"Okay. I'll take care of this."

Zhou Yi agreed.

“But the other party is, after all, a celestial being acting on behalf of another…” Zhang Zhi seemed somewhat uneasy and hesitant: “If we attack him directly, will it attract the celestial being to descend?”

"will not."

Zhou Yi told the other party, "To the Celestials, the proxy is just a tool. Just like the Light Core Giants, they simply carry out the orders they give. It doesn't matter who the proxy is, as long as the proxy is in operation."

Zhang Zhi took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "Then let's give it our all! If we win this time, mutants will have a place to live. As for the substitute, the Free Army will follow Mr. Zhou's orders."

"That's not necessary."

Zhou Yi waved his hand: "I have professionals here to handle proxy matters."

"A professional... have you handled other agency services before...?"

The other party looked horrified.

"That's a company secret."

Zhou Yi said solemnly, "In short, there is no doubt that this matter is very risky, and we need to make arduous preparations and be prepared for the possibility of utter defeat. If our professionals cannot handle it, the addition of the Free Army will not make any difference."

"Actually, it's best to prepare for this kind of thing for a few years to be more certain. But the fact that the Free Army is cooperating with the company will inevitably arouse his suspicion."

"The best opportunity is right now."

"That's what you said."

Zhang Zhi nodded slowly, his expression grave: "Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Even we ourselves didn't expect to make our move today, and neither did he. In the past, we've always been completely led by the nose..."

"Wait, then."

Zhou Yi sipped his tea and looked at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Zhang Zhi and Song Xian kept drinking water, clearly very nervous.

Yuanxiao kept pouring them tea.

after an hour.

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "I'm glad I didn't fail you. I managed to get it done by luck."

Zhang Zhi spat out a mouthful of water and quickly wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

"Done... He's already disappeared?"

"Disappeared from this world."

Zhou Yi looked out the window.

It was already night.

The top of the moon.

Wang Fengwu, the fourth acting operative, has been captured and taken to the moon.

Yagami said, "This proxy situation is a bit... You should come and take a look first."

I have to go out for a while.

After saying that, Zhou Yi disappeared from the spot.
