Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 827

Chapter 827: Chapter 272: The Mystery of Starship, Yu Yong’s Freedom!

In Yu Yong’s account, he repeatedly mentioned the term “they.”

Every time he spoke, an uncontrolled fear crept onto his face, as if he’d witnessed something terrifying beyond understanding, and his eyes were filled with an uncontainable tremble.

“So, do you mean that this transformation process is already irreversible?” Cheng Ye followed his lead with a question.

What Yu Yong said was hard to verify, but his theory seemed logically consistent.

The giant entity left behind a virus to transform the planet, making it more suitable for alien colonization. Once the transformation is complete, the alien army will arrive?

But there’s an evident flaw here: if the giant entity indeed possesses such terrifying power, how could the virus it left be guided and distorted by humans, instead fostering an Extraordinary Era?

Moreover, the gap between humans and the giant entity is so vast; if it wanted to transform the planet, it could just descend and forcibly alter it directly. Why use such a roundabout way?

However, Cheng Ye didn’t voice these doubts; he focused on the compliance level on the panel.

Upon his question, Yu Yong’s compliance level jumped again, reaching a challenging 4%.

“Irreversible! Completely irreversible!” Yu Yong shook his head vigorously, his tone firm yet despairing. “The distortion back then was already a one-in-a-billion chance, but humanity failed to grasp this opportunity, leading the planet’s environmental parameters to skew toward the preset direction! I haven’t been outside; I don’t know what has happened, but I can tell you…”

“In the next ten years, the entire planet will undergo unimaginable upheavals! Firewood has long since unpacked parts of the upheaval information… Eternal Night, Eternal Day, Eternal Cold, Eternal Heat, Eternal Water, Eternal Wind, Eternal Mist…”

With each upheaval name he uttered, the despair on his face grew heavier, like sinking into a bottomless abyss, and his eyes lost any semblance of light.

“Firewood thought the Source Introduction Technology could control everything, but in reality, it’s just accelerating ‘their’ process! Every Shelter City, every Extraordinary on this planet, is an accomplice, all pushing the planet to the extremes of transformation, towards the real day of doom!”

This seemed to be a bombshell revelation.

Cheng Ye felt a chill in his heart; the news of Flower Province’s Eternal Night and Liang Province’s Eternal Day had only emerged over a month ago, while Yu Yong had already been imprisoned by then, supposedly unaware of outside changes.

But since he spoke so clearly… could Firewood have really unpacked future environmental upheaval warnings?

“It sounds like you have seen ‘them’?” Cheng Ye caught onto a crucial point and pressed on.

Yu Yong’s body suddenly stiffened, his gaze evasive, as if he had touched an untouchable taboo. After a while, he sidestepped the topic, saying, “I’ve told you everything I should. You can verify this message, and if it’s true, you should understand that the value of working with me far exceeds being trapped in these decaying Shelter Cities.”

“Work with you, to become a homeless dog?” Cheng Ye raised an eyebrow. “Forgive my bluntness; you might not have seen true power. With your limited strength, others might crush you with a single finger.”

“No! We can go to Sea Province!” Yu Yong refuted urgently, instinctively blurting out, “There are Control State experts there too, and many organizations that can shelter us…”

But just as this crucial information was about to slip out, he abruptly stopped, his gaze became vigilant, and he tightly shut his mouth.

Was this an unintentional leak or a deliberate bait?

Cheng Ye’s expression remained unchanged, his eyes on the panel, where the compliance level had risen to 9%, just one step away from breaking through 10%.

It seemed Yu Yong’s words indeed hid many crucial clues, and Sea Province might be far more complex than it appeared.

“Eternal Night and Eternal Day indeed have begun to show signs.”

Cheng Ye nodded slightly, “By ‘Eternal Mist,’ do you mean ‘Void Mist’?”

“No, no, no, Void Mist is just an appetizer for Eternal Mist, the most basic manifestation.”

Yu Yong gently shook his head, his eyes filled with horror, “Do you know how ‘they’ will arrive? Based on my speculation and research, the most likely way is when Eternal Mist completely shrouds everything, special spatial passages will activate, bringing wave after wave of enemies we cannot possibly resist, like an endless tide, until humanity is extinct and civilization destroyed.”

“But as far as I know, someone has already mastered the means to actively guide Void Mist,” Cheng Ye casually cast a bait.

“What?” Yu Yong was taken aback, his face full of disbelief, then shook his head vigorously, “Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Even Firewood only receives information and performs unpacking. No one can go faster than Firewood to master this kind of power!”

“No, Cheng Ye, you’re lying to me!”

He suddenly shouted, his humanity quickly fading away, sliding towards a hysterical frenzy, “If you deceive me with false information, you’ll never get more from me! I’ll completely shut down communication!”

Yet, just as the infection source was about to occupy the high ground of intelligence, Cheng Ye took a deep breath into his dantian and shouted explosively:

“Calm down!”

The amplified roar from the speaker exploded within the containment room, yet Yu Yong wasn’t stopped, his body still twisted in madness.

But when Cheng Ye continued with the second half of his sentence, he froze in place as if fixed by Shadow-Canceling Light.

“If I wanted to deceive you, I wouldn’t even bother talking to you. The organization that mastered this technology is called the Starship!”

Starship?

The frenzy receded like a tide, and human reason regained control.

Yu Yong took two steps back, suddenly collapsing onto the ground, his eyes drifting into a daze.

“How could it be, how could it be… Starship?”
