Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 802

Chapter 802: Chapter 265: Prosperous Wenlu County, Davidson’s Deal

The two trucks arrived just in time.

The journey to Dapo Town is not short, and these two drivers were not accustomed to running that route. Now, with the armed convoy escorting, it is both safe and reassuring.

Mu Shuang drove the off-road vehicle at the front, with two armed pickup trucks guarding the two trucks from the front and back, forming a tightly-knit escort formation.

Once the convoy tediously turned onto the highway, the journey immediately became much smoother.

As they passed the checkpoint again, Cheng Ye specifically got out of the car to look around for a while, seeing the terrain of the industrial area more clearly, and at the same time verifying the scene with the information previously provided by Matthew Lee.

After passing the checkpoint, heading to Dapo Town was much smoother.

The section turning from the highway to Wenlu County has been completely renovated, with the road surface as smooth as the main road leading to the industrial area. However, when turning from Wenlu County towards Dapo Town, it was inevitable to travel a bumpy, rough road.

As the vehicle staggeringly entered Dapo Town, the two teams of workers arranged by Lei Hu had arrived early and were waiting to unload the trucks.

“Station Chief Lei has taken over Brother B’s position, and Brother B should be able to return soon.”

Cheng Ye watched the workers carefully lift the equipment off the trucks and carefully wrap it with waterproof cloth on the open ground, secretly pondering.

Compared to Lei Hu, Liu Bi’s qualifications were clearly inferior.

As the station officer at the South Station and a Grade Five Inspector, Lei Hu was originally someone expected to inherit the position of Happiness City’s station chief in the future. Not only was his status significant, but his connections and network were also far deeper than those of Liu Bi.

Moreover, although he was straightforward like Liu Bi, being a station chief, he understood some social niceties, making him slightly more astute than Liu Bi.

With him overseeing the industrial area, even though the satellite towns had grievances against those “defective products,” not one dared to rant in front of Lei Hu. Not just Second-stage and Third-stage Inspectors, even those of the Fourth-stage were suppressed by him.

Yet, Liu Bi, who was also a Fourth-stage, found it difficult to even restrain those of the Third-stage.

“Old Ding’s arrangement was indeed correct. A lot of questions get resolved by taking an on-site walk, and it will also avoid many unnecessary explanations and disputes during reporting.”

Cheng Ye sighed silently at Ding Yishan’s skill in navigating the realms of power, admitting to himself that he could barely learn thirty percent of it.

Fortunately, Yueye Shelter City is a new project, with personnel all personally selected by him, so he doesn’t have to take over a mess. Otherwise, with his current disposition, he feared resorting to using extraordinary powers.

Not until the unloading was completed did the time pass noon.

Cleaning work at Dapo Town was still ongoing, with personnel drawn from the legion conducting comprehensive disinfection inside and out.

Without battle armor protection, Cheng Ye originally planned to explore the caves but had to temporarily suppress that thought.

He instructed the cleaning personnel to help watch over the equipment, then the convoy rushed toward Wenlu County without delay.

On the way, Cheng Ye pondered repeatedly, and with the examples set by these satellite towns and the experiences from Dongping Town, he finally determined the infrastructure plan for Dapo Town’s routes.

Connecting the highway directly to link Happiness City and the industrial area was certainly the most convenient choice, but it also came at the highest cost. Abandoning the nearby Wenlu County, which has a population of one hundred thousand, was clearly not a wise move.

Raul had previously mentioned that if the road segment connecting Dapo Town to Wenlu County were built, Wenlu County would provide additional subsidies.

It would be better to first fix this road segment, establish two-way connectivity, then plan for connecting the highway in the future once Dapo Town has developed, as both don’t conflict with each other.

Wenlu County also wouldn’t restrict his future plans to connect to the highway!

“Hm, next is negotiating the specific amount of subsidies. Fortunately, Wenlu County has insiders…” Cheng Ye calculated in his heart.

Three Grade Five Inspectors.

No need to elaborate on Zhou Changhai, with his current contributions and upward momentum, this “turncoat” would likely not mind doing him a favor.

Lin Bao, being a staunch member of the Eastern People Faction, would surely not oppose Wenlu County opening connectivity with Dapo Town to enhance his influence in Wenlu County.

The only one he hasn’t interacted with is Raul’s father, Evan Davidson, the deputy chief at the North Station.

But since he once had a good relationship with Towns, if conflicts do arise, it would be easy to mediate through Towns.

Plan successful!

As thoughts flowed, the outline of Wenlu County Satellite City, the former Wenlu County logistics park, slowly emerged on the horizon.

A very orderly flat area, simply based on its area data, is eight times broader than Dapo Town.

Next to it is an unfinished airport, whose future expansion potential is indeed immeasurable.

As for the original site of Wenlu County, that is, near the ancient county town, there are currently no signs of restoration.

It seems after on-site investigation, they found the cost of restoration far exceeds that of construction, so they temporarily shelved it.

It is foreseeable, though, that Wenlu County has a large space for future expansion, unlike Dapo Town, which can only slowly develop surrounding wasteland, advancing construction bit by bit.

The vehicle proceeded about one kilometer more, arriving at the Wenlu County checkpoint.

The concrete checkpoint doesn’t talk about aesthetics but securely blocks the entire road, with alloy fences built beside it, enhancing safety protection to the extreme.

“Halt, all entrants!” the speaker inside the checkpoint blared, with a stern and crisp voice.

Cheng Ye did not get out of the car, leaving Wu Rui and Mu Shuang to go forward and communicate.

Due to the pre-reported itinerary, in less than half a minute, a pass with the checkpoint seal was handed out, allowing the convoy to pass smoothly through the initial screening checkpoint.

The vehicle wheels rolled over the road surface past the checkpoint, feeling entirely different from the bumps of the wilderness. The outside chaos and desolation were thoroughly isolated, as the rich atmosphere of civilization instantly enveloped them.
