Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 787

Chapter 787: Chapter 261: Complete Framework, Inspecting Satellite City!_2

The so-called brainstorming cannot always just be done behind closed doors, only focusing on one’s own small plot in Dapo Town.

“Alright then, I’ll go buy some nutrient paste first, I haven’t eaten yet.”

“Inspector Cheng!” A familiar rough voice suddenly called from behind.

He instinctively turned his head, only to see Wu Rui, who was even more muscular than him, already standing behind him, with three unopened boxes of nutrient paste strapped to his waist.

Wu Rui’s face was full of smiles, but his eyes were filled with unabashed admiration, his gaze wandering along Cheng Ye’s muscle lines as he couldn’t help but exclaim:

“Your muscles are really beautiful, the shape is perfect, and this firmness, it’s obviously built through real training, much better than those boosted by drugs!”

“Stop, stop, stop!”

Cheng Ye hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt, catching a glimpse of Mu Shuang suppressing a laugh beside him, and felt a headache coming on, “Let’s not talk about this, let’s go inspect the Satellite City directly!”

“Should we bring Inspector Wang?” Wu Rui glanced back towards the building and asked in his deep voice.

“No need, let him rest well. I’ll go for the reporting myself.” Cheng Ye shook his head and started walking towards the parking lot first.

On the way, he simply opened a box of nutrient paste and gulped down fifty packs in one go.

This terrifying breakfast intake made Wu Rui’s eyes shine, while Mu Shuang kept clicking his tongue: “Inspector Cheng, your breakfast just now cost a hundred Happiness Coins, that’s almost half of your monthly salary!”

“So when we meet Station Chief Ding, remember to complain on my behalf and try to get him to approve more subsidies.” Cheng Ye patted his still flat stomach, calculating in his mind.

Once the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse was restrained by Tan Ming, as long as it didn’t actively use its abilities, it wouldn’t consume his life force, but correspondingly, the growth of the giant louse also stagnated.

After consuming those fifty bags of nutrient paste earlier, he specifically transferred the nutrients of thirty bags to the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse, but its growth rate didn’t even increase by 0.1%, and it sent a dismissive thought.

Obviously, this ordinary transparent nutrient paste could no longer meet the growth needs of his physical form and the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse, at least it had to be a higher-grade Yellow Bag Nutrient Paste to provide enough energy.

“If I could turn that Burning Leek into nutrient paste, I wonder if the effect would be fierce…”

Cheng Ye pondered for a moment, suddenly feeling a bit greedy.

But interrogating Tan Ming can’t be rushed, it will likely take two or three visits to get some results.

The group drove an off-road vehicle and armed pickup, going to the Public Works Bureau first to recharge, then leaving the city from the South Inspection Station.

Cheng Ye sat in the passenger seat, Mu Shuang was driving, while Wu Rui and his team sat in the two equipped pickups behind.

This entourage made quite a scene, anyone unaware might have thought Cheng Ye had already become the station chief.

“Inspector Cheng, you seem quite reflective,” Mu Shuang glanced at Cheng Ye sighing as he looked out the window, asking curiously.

“Yes, I feel a bit reflective,” Cheng Ye said softly, “I just feel that going out of the city now, that cautious reverence seems to have completely disappeared.”

“Isn’t that a good thing? It means you’re stronger now, no longer having to fear external risks,” Mu Shuang chimed in.

“Maybe so,” Cheng Ye opened the car window, taking a breath of fresh air into the wind, his voice carried away by the breeze, “but I can never return to the cautiousness of the past.”

Mu Shuang’s eyes flickered, and he didn’t ask further, focusing on the wheel and steadily driving onto the highway.

The first batch of 12, second batch of 12, except Dapo Town being delayed by Immortal Objects, the construction of the other 23 Satellite Cities was progressing rapidly.

The first stop was East Valley Town, located at the easternmost of all Satellite Cities, managed by Gu Xinjing and Zhang Wen.

“East Valley Town previously experienced two Disaster Level infection source incidents, namely Tornado Ants and Withered Leaf Locusts, both known malignant infection sources, but they were successfully contained by the two Inspectors.”

As they approached East Valley Town, Mu Shuang proactively introduced the situation, “Thanks to the reward for containing the infection sources, the development progress of East Valley Town was faster than expected, catching up to the level of the first batch of Satellite Cities.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ye instinctively mapped out East Valley Town’s information in his mind.

East Valley Town’s terrain was considered one of the few complex forest terrains around Happiness City.

In the old days, the town and surrounding villagers lived off natural resources, with several small to medium-sized woodlands hidden in the valleys, and before protection policies, even just selling timber brought decent income.

The western part of the town had several deep gorges containing natural mineral springs, with dedicated channels built to transport the spring water to the town’s workshops, where mountain spring water wine and pickles were brewed, making the small town’s living quite stable.

However, ever since Tan Ming cursed Stone Province, this once vibrant land became completely desolate.

This time, East Valley Town was chosen for Satellite City development initially due to its geographical advantages; the complex terrain provided a natural defense barrier, protecting against any potential infection tides during winter.

Unexpectedly, after Tan Ming’s curse was lifted, it became a ‘treasure land’.

If the large woodlands were converted into orchards, vigorously promoting agriculture, a pillar industry would be directly established.

The mountain’s few lowlands were suitable for large-scale sowing, with surrounding water sources, creating a small grain warehouse would not be a problem.

Of course, East Valley Town’s limitations were also evident; the surrounding terrain was both protective and restrictive, and expanding construction scale in the future might face numerous obstacles.
