Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 861

Chapter 861: Chapter 281: Dabo Canned Food Factory, The Tragic Yu Yong! (Part 4)

“Hey, what a coincidence.” Niu Fu immediately nodded, took a step onto the boat, and rowed back at once.

Hou Genbao was somewhat puzzled, but Liu Bi obviously wasn’t going to explain, and just continued asking about this “Researcher Yu”.

Not fond of people, likes solitude, only communicates with Cheng Ye and Engineer Lin, doesn’t even pay attention to Inspector Luokuke, holds a lot of important technology, and upon arrival, wants to build a research institute…

With more and more characteristic points aligning, Liu Bi took a deep breath, suddenly feeling a bit fortunate.

Luckily, he didn’t linger in the industrial area for long, otherwise, this trickster would have succeeded. Losing money is trivial, but delaying the construction of Dapo Town and ruining Cheng Ye’s reputation is a major issue.

After all, the City Lord of Camel Shelter City is still hanging on the pillar of shame.

Not long after, Niu Fu returned, and from the draft depth of the wooden boat, it was clear that the two large, dark green equipment boxes were not light.

“Inspector Liu, what’s this…”

“I need to have a conversation with Researcher Yu, you don’t mind, do you?” Liu Bi said, taking the equipment box and opening it.

The top layer of the equipment box contained a set of black battle armor, and below were two black blades, one long and one short.

Hou Genbao recognized at a glance that the style of the short blade was identical to the ones held by Inspector Cheng and Inspector Wang.

Niu Fu also opened the equipment box; the battle armor was the same, but the second layer contained several portable devices, and two guns.

A handgun and a shotgun.

“Communicate…” Hou Genbao was completely dumbfounded, who communicates wearing this kind of gear?

Could it be… thinking of the Inspector’s duties, and the unusual events that just transpired between the two.

“No, Researcher Yu isn’t an Infected Body, he…” Hou Genbao trembled; if Inspector Liu treated Researcher Yu as an Infected Body and cut him down, wouldn’t Cheng Ye flay his skin upon returning?

“Old Niu, keep an eye on him.”

“Don’t worry, Brother Bi, I’ve got your back.”

As they spoke, the two had already donned their battle armor, exuding an unmistakable murderous aura.

With the still bewildered Hou Genbao, they walked through the shallows along the riverbank towards the interior of Diversion Island.

In just five minutes.

They saw on a high slope, a hunched and thin Yu Yong sitting on the ground, seemingly reading a book.

Upon hearing footsteps, Yu Yong instinctively turned his head, immediately seeing two burly men in black armor, along with the restrained Hou Genbao.

“Yu…” Hou Genbao hadn’t finished speaking when he saw Yu Yong stand up, gently placing the book down, his expression calm as he said, “Let him go.”

“Brother Bi, it seems he’s a Source Binder?” Niu Fu raised his wrist, glanced at a counter, and whispered.

“Source Binder?”

Liu Bi nodded gently, “You take him back, I’ll go talk to him.”

“Be careful.” Niu Fu didn’t hesitate as he led Hou Genbao back, but after just one step, his body halted involuntarily, unable to move, as if something was pulling at him.

“Hmm?” Niu Fu looked down in astonishment, his heart filled with shock.

As sunlight spilled down, the pitch-black shadow seemed to twist and turn, extending two hands to grab his legs.

What the hell is this?

“Let him go, I don’t wish to say a third time.” Yu Yong’s tone remained calm.

“Oh?” Liu Bi stepped forward, “What if I don’t let go?”

Swish.

A barely noticeable black shadow flashed from Yu Yong’s body, about to creep along the ground in the next second.

The ability of the Ghost Shadow Spider, though suppressed, still retained its most bizarre shadow-controlling capability.

Though it could no longer infect from a distance, it required Yu Yong’s own shadow for coverage.

Yet for ordinary people, it was still the difference between 0 and 1, an unreachable gap.

However.

“Controlling shadows?” Liu Bi frowned, then smiled grimly.

The short blade in his hand swung forward almost simultaneously as the black shadow flashed forward.

Shing.

The short blade did not strike the ground, but instead, its edge aimed at the direction of the black shadow.

A hissing sound echoed, and Yu Yong’s calm expression changed subtly.

“Are you a Source Binder too?”

“Why don’t you guess?”

As the words fell.

A black-armored figure dashed out, its steps creating phantom trails on the ground.

Yu Yong gave a gentle smile, leaning his body back slightly, aiming to activate his ability to leave and evade.

But in the next second, Liu Bi’s short blade quickly hurled out, pinning into the ground just behind Yu Yong like a dart.

The ability had barely triggered, and the shadow took two steps back, nailed to the spot by the dart.

“Special materials can restrain my ability?” Yu Yong turned his head to glance, somewhat surprised.

The surface of the black blade seemed to flicker with a glowing radiance, and being nailed by the blade, he remarkably lost control of his shadow.

If he were at his peak, a single thought would grind past such restraint.

But now, he could only shake his head, shifting his body to the side just enough to barely dodge Liu Bi’s rapid assault.

“You’re not a Source Binder; you’re an Infected Body…” Liu Bi turned his head, glanced at the shadow still pinned to the ground, and at Yu Yong, who had no shadow, his tone growing ever more chilling.

“Is that so? Then you should ask Cheng…”

“Ask your mother!”

Liu Bi twisted his body again, shooting forward like an arrow released from a bow.

This time, Yu Yong didn’t dodge, a look of disgust flashing across his face.

Really, this guy is just a brute!

It seems that wise Inspectors like Cheng Ye are still rare, whether in Firewood or Happiness City.

He lightly extended his hand, aiming to strike at the exposed weakness under Liu Bi’s armpit.

But as soon as he raised his hand, his face suddenly changed, the weak point Liu Bi exposed disappeared in an instant.
