Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 800

Chapter 800: Chapter 264: Life Blessing, Prism Founded!_3

Late at night, taking advantage of the completed charging, Cheng Ye conducted another search and successfully acquired the “Cedar Adaptation.”

After the search, although both were night owls, Dongping Town was about to start expansion. The heavy affairs lay on Matthew Lee’s shoulders, and he had to go back to the Buffer Zone tomorrow for assignments, which were equally important.

They decided not to chat more, wrapped in blankets, and went to sleep separately.

Autumn nights were still a bit chilly, the air filled with a crisp scent of earth and vegetation.

Outside, the Wilderness lay silent, with only the occasional night breeze passing by, making the window frames creak softly.

It was unknown how much time had passed when the faint sound of residents’ commotion came from outside, waking them from their sleep.

Cheng Ye rubbed his sleepy eyes and got up, indeed, it was already bright outside, and a vivid morning scene greeted him.

The morning sun was slowly crawling up from the distant horizon, first casting a faint orange-red glow, gradually dyeing half the sky, turning the clouds into a brocade interwoven with gold and red.

Countless strands of golden light pierced through the thin mist, spreading over the vast Wilderness, the previously somber grassland coated with a layer of warm light, the dew on the grass leaves refracted into sparkling points, and the distant low hills and sparse trees became gradually clear in the morning light, full of vitality.

“What time is it?” Matthew Lee, woken by the noise, got up and yawned.

“It’s seven o’clock!”

“It’s still early…” he mumbled, pressing a button beside him and shouting into the speaker, “It’s the weekend today, go back to sleep! Don’t wander around before nine o’clock!”

The sound spread through the loudspeakers above the room, and the prefab housing area that had just been noisy quickly returned to silence.

“Holy crap, you…” Cheng Ye watched in a bit of a daze.

“Order and prohibition training must start with this kind of good thing, more sleep, more sleep.” Matthew Lee mumbled, turned over, and went back to sleep.

Cheng Ye shook his head helplessly, feeling a bit speechless.

After getting up, he wasn’t sleepy anymore, so he got up and went outside to stretch.

Unexpectedly, Wu Rui was leading his team exercising in the open space. Seeing Cheng Ye looking over, he immediately flashed a bright smile.

Cheng Ye walked over and noticed that the accompanying team had set up tents in the charging area, actually sleeping on the ground.

“Captain Wu, sorry to have you guys sleep in tents last night.”

“What are you talking about, Inspector Cheng!” Wu Rui waved his hand indifferently, “It’s no different from sleeping on a bed, we’ve long been used to it. Besides, staying in the town is so safe, how can it be considered an inconvenience?”

Upon finishing, he paused and asked, “The cars are fully charged, should we visit other Satellite Cities today?”

Cheng Ye glanced at the charging value; in forty more minutes, it would be 60% filled for another search.

This trip to Dongping Town, although the charge wasn’t fully loaded, garnered a Life Blessing and two Lv4 Perfect Talents, which was pretty satisfying.

“We’ll leave soon, head to Wenlu County for a look, and then report back to the Buffer Zone.”

“Got it!” Wu Rui nodded in agreement, turned back into the car to tweak the communication equipment, making preparations in advance with Wenlu County and the checkpoint.

Cheng Ye, lost in thought, walked to the side and stopped next to Dai Zun, who was doing push-ups.

“Inspector Cheng?” Dai Zun immediately looked up at him.

“Nothing, keep practicing, I’m just watching.” Cheng Ye squatted down with a smile.

Helping Dai Zun count a few push-ups, joining him in completing two sets of exhaustive training, before saying, “Dai Zun, your ability to not feel pain, it’s a double-edged sword.”

“Indeed, I often didn’t notice injuries before, only recently I’ve started being more cautious.” Dai Zun nodded, casually lifting his shirt, revealing his muscular physique, covered with scars of varying depths.

Cheng Ye nodded in approval and casually asked, “Does Happiness City have others like you?”

“There’s one, also in the corps.” Dai Zun smiled, “But he’s with the Blood Dragon Corps, different from me. I can block touch pain, he blocks internal organ sensations, everyone calls him ‘the Undying,’ though once he almost ran his lungs to a rupture.”

“Oh?” Cheng Ye raised an eyebrow, “What’s his name?”

“Mishu James, we used to chat often. Sometimes, as Superpower Users like us, we gather to share experiences.”

“Same type?” Cheng Ye’s heart stirred, but he remained calm on the surface, “Are there many with your kind of ability?”

“Hmm, compared to other types of Superpower Users, there might be slightly more, but our abilities don’t overlap. At most, we exchange ideas on how to protect ourselves to avoid injuries due to lack of pain perception.”

“How about Guang Province, are there any with your kind of ability?”

“Yes!” Dai Zun nodded repeatedly, “It seems there are seven over there. Two are even more formidable than me; they not only can’t feel pain but can switch back to a normal state, though each conversion appears to require a price.”

“Could you compile a list for me?” Cheng Ye rubbed his chin, “I want to study this aspect.”

“Sure, I’ll compile it for you once I get back.” Dai Zun agreed with a smile, without asking for reasons, “Someone had researched us before, wanting to develop a nontoxic and harmless special anesthesia. When encountering infectious agents, there would be a means of restraint. Yet, no one has succeeded so far. I donate nearly three liters of blood every year; if Inspector Cheng needs, my quota for this year is still available, I could…”

“No need.” Cheng Ye interrupted him immediately, his tone serious, “Don’t have your blood drawn so frequently in the future. Your body isn’t quite robust now; you need to take good care of yourself.”
