Wasteland Development Diary

#144 - Mutant Escape

The little boy was frozen in place, his eyes vacant.

Who knows what he was experiencing in the BGM.

Zhou Yi was certain that this child would be quiet for a few hours.

He turned to the Peregrine Falcon beside him: "Tell me about the mutants."

The drone whirred, its wings spinning: "Life forms born with light-absorbing organs are called Light-Absorbing Species. Light-Absorbing organs are fixed and stable."

"Enhancers use Light Imprints to modify and enhance organs to obtain artificial Light-Absorbing organs, known as Enhanced Bodies. Enhanced Bodies require drugs to suppress rejection reactions."

"Regardless of whether the Light-Absorbing organ is natural or artificially modified, it follows a basic principle: one life form corresponds to one Light-Absorbing organ."

"Those with two or more Light-Absorbing organs are called Mutants. Among them, human mutants are called Mutant Humans."

"Mutant Humans are extremely unstable because multiple Light-Absorbing organs compete and counteract each other, which has a great impact on the host's consciousness. Mutant Human behavior is driven by the instinct of the organs."

The Peregrine Falcon emphasized: "Light-Absorbing organs absorb and compress Death Light, but leak due to conflicts, forming high-energy radiation stronger than natural Death Light."

"Mutant Humans are walking radiation sources to ordinary people, causing rapid human mutation. Without timely treatment, it will lead to organ failure and death."

Zhou Yi frowned: "Are Enhancers also affected?"

"Mutant Humans also have a radiating effect on Enhancers, but Enhanced Bodies have a certain immunity to Death Light, so this radiating effect is much weaker."

The Peregrine Falcon's top camera flashed red, shining on the Mutant Human child: "The greatest possibility is that this Mutant Human has a special Light-Absorbing organ, and the radiation ability far exceeds the baseline."

"When Mutant Humans are backlashed by multiple Light-Absorbing organs, they usually revert to beastial forms. However, he seems to retain self-awareness, with relatively clear self-cognition, which is rare."

B-grade Mutant Human, maintaining self-awareness, radiation enhancement, and able to control fire.

This is the currently known information.

Zhou Yi sized up the child in front of him.

The simplest way is to solve it with one punch. With [Life Strike] and the BGM domain, it's easy to blow him up instantly.

However, killing this Mutant Human is of no benefit to him.

The current need is to ask about Fei Xing's affairs and see if he can save the mutated Tianjin Knight.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but think.

He is connected to the Microphone Bully's consciousness key, and the Microphone Bully's consciousness key is now connected to the Mutant Human.

So, does this mean that he is actually connected to the Mutant Human?

He summoned Unit 2 to ask if it was feasible.

"That's right."

Little Husband said as a matter of course: "This is the greatness of Fire Seed life and Fire Seed civilization, connecting numerous life forms, which can be connected and called at any time. Conceptual life is the most convenient. They can exert all their power without decompression and restoration."

Under the guidance of the Stream Tracer, Zhou Yi once again entered the dark space.

This time, in addition to Bai Li Gong's core, there was also Microphone Bully's.

However, the memory cores themselves were no different. They were all like large glass electron tubes, with a slowly rotating double helix structure inside and glowing lines outside.

Zhou Yi discovered that Microphone Bully was a black box player in the memory core, floating forward on the consciousness key.

Little Husband explained: "Because you are a collector, the Fire Seed life you observe through the consciousness key appear as you cognitively mark them."

"As long as you reach the consciousness key where they are located, you can complete synchronous entry."

Zhou Yi drilled into the memory core.

He lightly landed next to the A6 player, keeping pace with the machine, and suddenly his eyes changed, and he was in a brand new world.

...

This is a semi-transparent white room built of crystal or glass, with just the right amount of brightness inside. There are no windows, only a closed crystal door.

Inside there are beds, tables and chairs, cabinets and sofas, all made of crystal. There is also a small pit for playing, filled with sparkling glass sand, with glass cups of various sizes next to it.

Soft music is playing in the room.

"Who is knocking at my window

Who is plucking the strings

That forgotten time

Gradually rises in my heart..."

Tsai Chin's gentle voice sang "Forgotten Time".

The Mutant Human little person stood in the room, his face full of horror.

"I don't want to go back here, I don't want to go back here... Let me out, let me out..."

He kept hitting the crystal wall with his head, and a large amount of flames continued to erupt from his body, turning the entire room into a furnace.

However, in the world of BGM, these are useless.

Suddenly, a line like glass fiber drilled out of the closed door, slowly extending towards the inside.

The child retreated frantically when he saw it, appearing extremely afraid.

The glass line stretched in the air for a while, and then accurately pierced the child's head, causing him to twitch all over and his eyes to turn white.

Soon.

The glass line retracted the way it came and disappeared on the crystal door.

After a while.

The child woke up again, touched his head, and then circled desperately inside, shouting and crying almost to the point of collapse.

Another cycle.

The glass line came in again, inserted into the head, causing the child to suffer another electric shock-like pain, and quickly fell into a coma.

This process continued to cycle.

Zhou Yi felt miserable just watching.

Through consciousness synchronization, he pulled the Peregrine Falcon and Bai Li Gong in as well: "Have you ever seen this kind of thing?"

Both said they had never seen it.

Microphone Bully carried out consciousness interception, but the BGM world was a scene spontaneously extended by the connector, either a scene it had experienced, or a picture it had seen or thought of.

Like the several worlds Zhou Yi fell into, Walmart and middle school were places he had been to, but the prison was something he saw through movies and TV, so the people there were very vague.

In repeated torment, the Mutant Human's expression gradually became numb.

In the 19th cycle, he did not fall into a coma after the glass line was inserted into his brain, but remained awake with his eyes open.

Then the surrounding scene changed again, coming to Zhou Yi's familiar Dead Sea.

The soundtrack also became intense and rapid, switching to the theme song of the Legend of the Condor Heroes, "Black Clouds".

"Who carved the scars in this life

Thousands of years of martial arts pride cut through the long..."

The Mutant Human child was running wildly.

Behind him were two killers flying in on cloud clusters.

These two killers were covered in golden armor, with broad shoulders and narrow waists, only revealing two red eye sockets in their heads, and two long whiskers fluttering in the wind on their heads, and long tails growing on their backs.

They looked somewhat like Sun Wukong's shape.

Zhou Yi continued to observe from the side.

The golden armored warriors held a golden metal short stick. Every time they released a circle of shock waves with the short stick, the child's body would emit crackling golden light, and the bones and internal organs of his whole body would be clearly visible under the golden light, appearing extremely painful.

The Mutant Human kept throwing out large fireballs behind him, but the fireballs exploded automatically in front of the golden armored warriors, unable to hurt them in the slightest.

The two sides didn't seem to be on the same level at all.

Just when the golden armored warrior was hunting the Mutant Human, a mountain-like giant black hand suddenly rose from the mist, grabbing the two golden armored warriors in one fell swoop.

Then the two pursuers fought with the black hand.

The Mutant Human finally escaped.

The child also looked back, muttering to himself: "Why did I come back here again... Could it be that everything before was a dream after I imagined a successful escape? Or is this some kind of dream?"

Zhou Yi understood.

The Mutant Human deliberately led the pursuers here, using the Boundary Breakers in the Dead Sea to cover the rear.

The child looked around, shouting hoarsely in the mist: "I know you're watching me! Who are you? You're not a Celestial Being, who are you?!"

Zhou Yi just watched him silently.

This is the BGM space created by Microphone Bully. Here, Microphone Bully is the creator god.

The latest novels are first published on Sixth 9 Books!

Unless it is willing, the child cannot see Zhou Yi.

After being chased by the golden armored warrior several times, he finally entered the next scene.

The surroundings became a piece of land with dense trees.

In the distance, you can also see a tall Ferris wheel - the Forbidden Martial Arts Relic.

The child still looked around: "You are reading my memory... If I choose another path, what will you do?"

He turned and walked towards the Dead Sea behind him.

At the same time, the entire world sounded music again.

"He understands, he understands I can't give it

So he turned and walked towards the sea..."

Music "Mountains and Seas".

Zhou Yi was a little surprised.

Microphone Bully's soundtrack technology has improved, and it actually knows how to match the mood and environment of the entrant.

In fact, Zhou Yi was also very curious.

If the Mutant Human denied the previous experience, what would happen if he took another possibility?

Zhou Yi followed the other party's perspective.

The child ran all the way into the Dead Sea, walking headlessly on the seabed, mainly rebellious.

It is calculated that children in the wasteland era become adults at the age of 10, so eight or nine years old is indeed a genuine puberty.

However, he soon twitched all over and his body surface glowed.

He was electrocuted again.

The golden armored warrior descended from the sky and captured him.

The scene flickered again and returned to the beginning.

The child stood on the shore again, with the Dead Sea behind him and the relics composed of aliens in front of him.

He changed another direction to run, entered the sea, hid, and stayed where he was.

No matter how many times, the final result was that he was caught by the golden armored warrior after being stunned.

The Mutant Human roared: "Look, look! Look enough! You monster!!!"

He finally ran towards the Ferris wheel.

Then he drilled into the shadow building over there and hid on the top floor.

There were golden armored warriors flying in the air, but with the barrier of architectural life, they seemed unable to find the Mutant Human's location.

Zhou Yi instantly came to the shadow building.

The child sat in the corner with his arms around his knees, his expression dull and painful.

"You monsters, go to hell, go to hell!!"

"I've hidden here, why are you still holding on to me..."

"Get out, get out!"

Then he burst into tears.

Zhou Yi was a little embarrassed for a while.

Bai Li Gong and the Peregrine Falcon were also watching next to him.

It felt like he was a strange uncle bullying a child.

The lesson is almost over.

Zhou Yi showed up, walked to him and sat down on the ground: "Can we talk now?"

At this time, the child seemed to have completely given up resisting, and said blankly: "What do you want to talk about? You can do whatever you want, anyway, I can't beat you..."

Zhou Yi's heart tightened.

Bad.

Could it be that there is a mental problem?

Zhou Yi snapped his fingers and ordered a song in his heart.

Then a brand new melody sounded in the air.

"Wandering on the road

Are you leaving Via Via

Fragile and proud

...

I once crossed mountains and seas

Also through crowded people

Everything I once owned

Scattered like smoke in a blink of an eye"

A street appeared in front of me.

There were tall buildings on both sides, and the street lights were lit. Cars and electric cars were competing on the street, the snack stalls on the street were steaming, and students were walking in groups of three or two after school, men, women, old and young were walking in a corner of the city.

The two turned into sitting on the steps by the road, listening to Pu Shu's "Ordinary Road".

"After watching so much of your experience, let me show you the world I know." Zhou Yi squeezed out a kind smile.

The child's eyes widened slightly.

"Where is this?"

"A place I used to go, now it has disappeared."

The child looked at the passers-by: "The people here... are very strange, why didn't I see a single Light-Absorbing Species. Is this... prehistoric humans in the age of gods?"

His eyes suddenly widened.

"You are the Mount Tai Knight!"

Zhou Yi's smile froze.
