Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 831

Chapter 831: Chapter 273: When the Flowers Bloom on September 8, a Hundred Will Wither After Mine!

After leaving the research institute, Cheng Ye still felt shaken, his mind replaying two images repeatedly.

One was the mysterious Mount Everest, with its sky-reaching green staircase.

The other was the vanished building; if such a method exists, wouldn’t taking away the source be a breeze?

“If only we could search the Elders!”

Cheng Ye sighed inwardly, yet he knew that with his current rank, he had no right to touch such methods.

Even if the Elders fully opened access, the Collector’s 800-degree limit wouldn’t capture any useful skills.

“I hope what Yu Yong said is just speculation,” he shook his head. “Otherwise, with the infection source already troublesome, and combined with various natural disasters, it might be hard to find a safe place to stay in the future.”

Cheng Ye was never one to worry needlessly, but the more he encountered the truth of this Wasteland World, the more he felt that humans were repeatedly courting disaster.

Of course, without this ‘courting disaster’ exploration, the Extraordinary Era of the previous age wouldn’t have been possible.

Before the final result comes out, no one can say for certain whether the next step for civilization is destruction or rise.

Luckily, when the sky falls, there are tall ones to hold it up. At least now, going to Flower Province to research the Eternal Night isn’t his responsibility.

Yu Erlan has personally gone, and it’s sure that elite researchers from each Shelter City have been sent as well.

Just hope they can research a result soon, and prevent the chaotic natural disasters from continuing to expand.

Walking out of the Inner City, Cheng Ye quickened his pace, disappearing from the view of onlookers at the street corner within seconds.

The news of the Inspector’s defection hasn’t been publicly announced, but the outside world has quietly changed.

Patrolling guards appeared in the district, and the order in the Buffer Zone became increasingly stable.

A defection also set off the reshuffling sequence in the Buffer Zone.

Next, this place will gradually eliminate troublemakers and scavengers, leaving only law-abiding elderly and those who can contribute to Happiness City.

Before long, the Buffer Zone might become just like the Inner City.

No one picking up lost items on the road, and doors unlocked at night!

Returning to Zone B-7, there were still many guards on the street, mostly concentrated in front of the mall. It’s unclear whether it was targeted as a place of vice for strict control, or to advance the plan of making it the center of the Buffer Zone.

Cheng Ye glanced from afar, not getting involved, and only entered the mall after the patrol moved away.

“Inspector Cheng, hello!”

“Sir, you’ve arrived!”

“Hello, sir!”

In the corridor, when meeting the residents of the Celestial Essence Community, everyone stopped to greet him respectfully.

Cheng Ye nodded in response, and as he entered the first floor of the mall, he saw Elder Qu, Hou Genbao, and a few unfamiliar middle-aged men sitting in the reception area.

Seeing him enter, everyone stood up almost simultaneously, with only caution and respect on their faces.

The quick-thinking Hou Genbao stepped forward with a smile, saying, “Sir, you’re finally back!”

“How’s the preparation going?” Cheng Ye asked directly.

“Everything’s in order!” Hou Genbao nodded immediately, filled with excitement, “Everyone’s emotions are engaged, and the luggage and supplies are all packed. As soon as you give the order, 1500 people from Yongxing Community can leave the city today, heading to Dapo Town to settle!”

“That’s quick, Monkey, I didn’t misjudge your capability.” Cheng Ye casually called him by his nickname.

Being addressed in this way made Hou Genbao’s smile widen, even a bit fawning: “It’s all thanks to your excellent leadership, sir!”

Cheng Ye’s gaze swept over the unfamiliar faces: “Who are these people?”

“They are the district managers of surrounding communities,” Hou Genbao hurriedly explained, “They heard we are going to build a new town in Dapo Town, and they want to join us. It adds up to about 800 people.”

“Oh?”

Cheng Ye sat down, accepting a cup of water handed by Elder Qu, “Since you want to join, let’s discuss the rules.”

Unlike the Yongxing Community, people from these communities moved here as complete groups when their settlements collapsed. The survivors banded together in Happiness City, living together and helping each other, gradually forming simple community models based on past relationships.

As for “ideals,” it was too extravagant for small groups of just a few dozen people.

Perhaps due to their origin in settlements, these people had no resistance to working in Satellite City and only hoped their future lives would improve steadily, just as Cheng Ye outlined.

“About that, there’s no need to doubt.”

Cheng Ye’s eyes swept over the four district managers, his tone calm, “Anyone willing to contribute to Dapo Town and follow my orders, I guarantee will enjoy a lifestyle better than any current resident of the Buffer Zone.”

As soon as he finished speaking.

The four middle-aged men seemed to receive a unified command, standing up simultaneously to respond respectfully: “We are willing to follow Inspector Cheng’s arrangements!”

“Good.” Cheng Ye nodded and looked at Hou Genbao, “Monkey, these four communities are yours to lead.”

“Rest assured, sir, I’ll handle it!” Hou Genbao patted his chest, recognizing Cheng Ye’s intention to dismiss them, he quickly led the four away.

After they left, Cheng Ye’s stern expression relaxed. Smiling at the Elders, he said, “Hou Genbao sure adapts quickly to his role, showing no awkwardness at all.”

“He’s clever, with sharp means, the best for such tasks.” Elder Song also smiled, then changed the subject, “From what you said, are you planning to head to Dapo Town soon?”

“Yes, the personnel is ready, and the materials have mostly been transported over the past few days; everything is set.”

Cheng Ye exhaled, lifting the kettle to pour water for the three elders, “Besides, the city isn’t peaceful right now. As an Inspector, I also need to lay low.”

He paused, his tone sincere: “I, Cheng Ye, wouldn’t be where I am today without the support of everyone in Celestial Essence Community and the strong assistance of the three Elders. The future is uncertain, but I hope we can proceed smoothly and steadily.”
