Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 547 Election is Not Easy

Let's go back to the day we took that walk.

As Zhang Zhi walked, he suddenly realized that the trees and mushrooms on both sides had disappeared, leaving only a white mist covering the fields.

Emerald City has a weather forecasting system, and it should issue an early warning for this scale of extreme fog.

The ground beneath my feet felt strange too.

It was no longer soil and sand, but a kind of white, solid crystalline substance.

Both vision and perception are compressed to the extreme.

It was as if the white fog possessed some kind of shielding property.

My vision returned after a while.

Zhang Zhi saw that he was in a small container made of translucent crystal. The space inside was limited, similar to a single room.

Next to them were rows of identical crystal containers, and you could see people trapped inside them.

he realized.

This is inside the body of the Celestial Being.

As Canghai Jun once said, during the election of a substitute, candidates are sent into a space composed of gem cells for final selection.

However, he couldn't confirm the specific assessment process he would encounter. Each person's experience as an agent is different.

Canghai Jun simply advised: "First of all, you need to remain calm throughout the entire process."

"The election for acting president has only just begun. What follows will be a struggle for survival. Only those who remain at the end will be acting presidents, while the rest will be cannon fodder."

"Observe your surroundings carefully and make the choice you believe is best."

Zhang Zhi looked around and saw that the gem houses were like giant cells, loosely arranged together, each containing a candidate to serve as a cell nucleus.

The gem room was completely empty.

Zhang Zhi began tapping the crystalline structure with his hands.

He received a full training from the wasteland development company and also came into contact with the company's gem cells, which came in five colors: white, blue, black, red, and green, each with a specific function.

The secret chamber in front of us is constructed entirely of white gemstones.

White sapphire has a versatile function; it can be a medium for conducting various substances and energy, or a tool for modifying other gemstones.

The gem chamber has no exit.

Having led several mutant escapes, he couldn't help but guess.

Could the challenge here be finding a way to escape the locked room?
A brute-force breakthrough?

He tried his best to break through, but the gem house remained completely still.

Zhang Zhi looked outside. The gem houses where the candidates were located remained motionless. In the distance, there was a patch of blue, which seemed to be an energy zone containing a large number of sapphires.

I can't get out by myself, but is it possible to move this gem chamber?
If you consider yourself and the escape room as a whole...

Zhang Zhi immediately began to try it.

He poured his energy into the gemstone wall, and the overwhelming energy drain made him feel dizzy.

Zhang Zhi gritted his teeth and persevered.

Soon, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Thin lines appeared in the gemstone wall.

The gemstone fibers were awakened by energy.

it is as expected!
Zhang Zhi began to manipulate these gemstone fibers. They rose from beneath the gemstone house, like numerous tendrils growing from a cell, and began to slowly crawl through the entire chamber.

A large amount of energy is consumed throughout the process.

He still tried his best to move the entire gem chamber forward, passing by each chamber along the way, observing the different expressions on the faces of the candidates inside.

Zhang Zhi maneuvered the Gem House forward amidst a sea of ​​white gems, like a small boat bobbing in the waves, until finally reaching the blue area.

That's an energy island made of sapphire!
Zhang Zhi immediately discovered that the local sapphires were indeed absorbable, and he immediately sucked them into his secret chamber as much as possible.

Other candidates who had been observing followed suit and began to drift over.

But Zhang Zhi saw an even greater crisis ahead.

There appeared gem cells, each containing various limbs and organ tissues. They coalesced into bizarre monsters, which were swimming rapidly toward this place.

Zhang Zhi drove the Gem Chamber at breakneck speed in another direction, and because it was loaded with sapphires, his speed was far greater than before, leaving everyone else in the dust.

The candidates who followed were not so lucky.

They were assaulted by a tidal wave of monster cells that could connect gems, forcing them into a deadly battle in a confined space.

Zhang Zhi observed that the monsters were extremely powerful.

The candidates here are at least at the Skywalker level, but they are completely outmatched. The weaker ones are pounced on and devoured by the monsters, while the stronger ones are struggling to keep up.

As hordes of monsters joined the battlefield, the resistance became increasingly difficult, leaving no time to maneuver the jeweled boats. One by one, the jeweled chambers were stained with blood before sinking beneath the sea of ​​gems.

Zhang Zhi, however, had no time to care about these things.

His gem house was pulled into the depths of the Sea of ​​Gems by a tremendous force.

In the ambiguity.

Zhang Zhi saw that someone had entered the secret room.

That was a woman.

She had a beautiful face, but was lifeless, like a doll. She came in naked and hugged him.

This is a test that everyone who acts on behalf of another must go through.

Reproductive capacity.

If a woman enters, then a man will be sent over; a man like Zhang Zhi will then be facing a woman. If it is a Light-Na species, it will be a corresponding Light-Na species of the opposite sex. If it is asexual reproduction, it will be forced to give birth or split.

According to Canghai Jun, "If you encounter her, just relax and experience it. She is not a normal human, but a breeder created by the celestial beings."

Zhang Zhilai was mentally prepared beforehand.

Wang Fengwu also went through this ordeal.

So at that moment, he naturally embraced the woman.

Soon.

The female breeder finished her work and turned to leave.

Zhang Zhi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

A spot of light appeared above his head, and he suddenly understood many things.

That was a test of reproductive ability and to see if any offspring had any special traits.

This is a crucial step.

Being able to produce high-quality offspring is a big plus.

However, Zhang Zhi's descendants were not highly rated; they were only considered ordinary.

This step has been completed.

Zhang Zhi suddenly felt the surrounding space distort. When he came to his senses, he found himself, along with the secret chamber, fixed to a chain made of gem cells.

The chain stretched across the dark void.

A pair of enormous eyes are slowly gazing at the chains.

Staring intently at him through those enormous pupils, Zhang Zhi felt as if some kind of radiation was penetrating his entire body, causing him to tremble slightly involuntarily.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Zhang Zhi couldn't do anything, and the entire secret room was completely sealed off, making it impossible to use the gemstone fiber.

after a long time.

The Gem House was transported by chains into a distorted space, arriving at a strange place filled with gem cells.

Everywhere you look, there are busy people. Some of them are made of gemstones, while others are inside gemstone cells. They are using gemstone fibers to assemble gemstones one by one, forming a long bridge that stretches into the distance into the void.

Beneath this enormous, semi-transparent bridge lies a blazing, massive fireball.

Even though it was wrapped in a strange light membrane, the intense light and high temperature it emitted still made Zhang Zhi inside the gem feel a strong burning sensation.

At that moment, he remembered what Zhou Yi had said.

"There is a female employee in the company who was captured and modified by the Celestials. First, she was made to reproduce, and then she was fixed to the gem chain - she is actually a gem transmuter."

"She was not chosen by the Celestials, but was sent to the Sun Wall, which is near the sun, to become a worker and build gem facilities there."

Zhang Zhi felt a slight regret.

It seems I didn't meet the requirements and was relegated to this place as a construction worker.

However, he was resilient and then thought again that at least he wasn't directly dismantled into various organs for experiments.

It's good news that he's not dead.

It's a pity that such a huge amount of light seeds and everyone's help were wasted.

Zhang Zhi felt regretful, but a large amount of information also flooded his mind.

He started working without even realizing it.

Zhang Zhi used gemstone fibers to transport the floating gemstone cells, fixing them together and waiting for them to complete the energy connection, turning from white to blue. At this point, they would solidify into one.

Then proceed to install the next gem.

Zhang Zhixue worked slowly, just like the other workers around him.

He initially thought about communicating with others, but soon discovered that the workers could not get close to each other, and the space they occupied created a huge repulsive force, making it impossible to communicate in any way.

They appear to be working together, but in reality, they are individuals locked in their own workstations.

No one can stop; work has become an uncontrollable instinct.

Zhang Zhi looked back.

In the distant, dark space, the stars still twinkle, but I can no longer return to my former home.

He busied himself with his work in a methodical manner.

Time seemed to cease to exist, becoming immeasurable, and the body's biological clock seemed to have completely stopped.

Work, work, work.

I don’t know how long it took.

Zhang Zhi has already completed a fairly long section of the bridge around the solar wall, and the work has become quite familiar to him. In the process, he has also discovered some tricks.

For example, sapphires and white gemstones arranged in a certain order can produce a special adsorption effect, which can firmly attract other gemstones around them, greatly enhancing their construction efficiency.

The gemstone fibers capture large quantities of white gemstones, which then spread and expand in all directions.

Besides.

He also modified his gem cell units to create multiple arms, like giant mechanical arms, capable of efficiently, quickly and stably completing the forging connections.

In terms of efficiency alone, Zhang Zhi is dozens of times more efficient than the other workers!
He couldn't help but feel grateful to Zhou Yi.

Thanks to Zhou Yi for explaining the basics of the five-colored gemstones and various usage instructions, he was able to quickly get started and make the manufacturing process easier.

Gem cells possess unique activity; they slowly move and adjust themselves to form the most suitable shape and structure. Therefore, there's not much to worry about when handling them.

Zhang Zhi now has a new goal.

Now that we've become workers around the solar wall, we have to achieve something!

Then try to lead the other workers in rebellion against the Celestials!
