Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 934

Chapter 934: Chapter 299: Reshuffling the Situation, Data Update!

In the thirty-fifth year of the New Era, on October 2nd, the Inspection Station convened a general assembly of all Inspectors.

Except for Inspection Officers with in Satellite Cities who had clearly assigned tasks, or those whose construction work had reached a critical stage and could attend via video within network service coverage, all other personnel were required to be present on-site without any excuse.

The Legion people were scheduled to come in the afternoon, so Cheng Ye submitted an application, which the Inspection Station quickly approved.

But Liu Bi, Wang Kang, Luokuke… the three of them had to ride back to the Buffer Zone and attend the meeting in person in the same conference room as before.

Separated by a screen, he could not fully feel the solemn atmosphere in the conference room, but seeing the faces of the Inspectors present slightly darken, one could easily imagine how tense things were at that moment.

As expected, as soon as the assembly began, Harlem went straight to the point.

“The construction of the first batch of Satellite Cities has now entered the initial handover and acceptance phase. There are a total of six Satellite Cities that have passed this round of inspection: No.1 Satellite City, Wenlu County, Tantou Town, Dapo Town, Beiyuan Town, and West Slope Town.”

“All the other Satellite Cities failed to pass and show multiple clear violations: including short-sighted, results-chasing construction planning; extravagant and wasteful use of resources; chaotic and disorderly management models…”

In an unusually severe tone of criticism, every point of criticism named specific people, mercilessly.

Just when everyone thought this was merely a routine verbal warning and that a clear rectification deadline would be given—

Harlem picked up a list and said in a deep voice, “All Inspectors whose names I am about to read shall return to the Buffer Zone effective immediately to receive criticism and re-education. Your is terminated on the spot!”

What?

Terminated?!

Whoa!

The venue instantly erupted into an uproar.

Almost one-third of the Inspectors stood up at once, faces filled with disbelief.

But in the center of the video feed, Ding Yishan remained as steady as a mountain, the corners of his mouth even faintly hooked into a slight smile.

It was not that he had never moved; it was simply that the time had not yet come.

Now that the Inspection Station was openly confronting the Legion, to launch a sweeping internal purge at this particular juncture was clearly a case of “the drinker’s heart is not in the wine.”

Cheng Ye could roughly guess what Ding Yishan had in mind: taking the opportunity of purging Satellite Cities’ slots to completely reorder the internal landscape, firmly seize the qualification to speak directly with the Legion, and from the source block the Legion’s freedom to assign and infiltrate Satellite Cities.

Once the elimination list was read out, the replacement list was announced right after.

Aside from Liu Bi replacing Song Hai to become the of Dongping Town—

Over the past few days, more than a dozen High-level Inspectors had returned one after another. Of the 24 Satellite Cities, 14 had their slots directly replaced: in some, both the and were removed; in others, only a single who followed the rules was retained.

In Cheng Ye’s eyes, those Satellite Cities that had been blindly building without the slightest economic consideration were all without exception swept up in this round. Even Cloud Water Town, by Third-stage Inspectors Gu Xinjing and Zhang Wen, had its “hat” yanked off by Ding Yishan without the slightest mercy.

Brutal!

Utterly brutal!

Looking at the screen, seeing Gu Xinjing’s face gone pale and Zhang Wen’s fists clenched so tightly his body trembled slightly, Cheng Ye sighed inwardly; it was hard to connect them with the busy, high-spirited figures they had been just half a month ago.

Perhaps only now did they understand that building a Satellite City was far from simply creating a place to house the refugees, somewhere for everyone to live, and calling the task done.

Taking a step back, you could think that way in your heart and even do it that way with your hands, but you absolutely could not do it with no distinguishing features at all.

Even if you spun a vision for the leaders, saying that the current phase was to lay a solid foundation and that development would be pursued later, it might not necessarily have been unacceptable.

But Gu Xinjing and Zhang Wen had clearly adopted the stance that “as long as nothing goes wrong, we win.” With such passive and perfunctory work, how could they not end up as typical negative examples for Ding Yishan to make an example of?

What’s more, both of them were Eastern People Inspectors, and both notorious “faction-choosing maniacs,” sharing a single Satellite City; in the current situation, that arrangement was already inappropriate.

After this round of personnel reshuffling, what surprised Cheng Ye was that Garcia truly had struck gold.

Despite failing the assessment twice, he somehow miraculously squeezed his way into the Satellite City construction list and was assigned to Cloud Water Town, which happened to be downstream of Dapo Town.

With Dapo Town standing in front to intercept any infection sources and Infected Bodies that might come ashore from the White Water River, Cloud Water Town could be described as safe and worry-free.

But for a Second-stage Inspector to slip into a group of Fourth-stage Inspectors and take part in the third wave of, Cheng Ye secretly guessed that this was very likely related to Garcia siding with the Legion; the Legion behind him must have struck some kind of deal with the Inspection Station.

As for the specific content of that deal and the trade-offs on both sides, that was for Ding Yishan to weigh.

Besides, even if Garcia jumped around downstream and Cloud Water Town deliberately caused trouble, it would not affect Dapo Town in the slightest.

After the meeting ended, the hearts of those within the Inspection Station were shaken.

The Inspectors who had been removed had plenty of grievances, but this time Ding Yishan’s methods were unimaginably tough:

Anyone who dared to voice private doubts would have their rank directly revoked and be ordered home for self-reflection.

Anyone who dared to complain publicly would have the collected evidence of their violations, along with data from the town’s supercomputing simulations, slammed down in front of them and be required to explain themselves on the spot.

More crucially, this time Harlem stood entirely on Ding Yishan’s side, fully supporting his decisions.

Everyone almost simultaneously caught the change in the wind…

The sky over the Inspection Station was about to change!

As he watched the staff begin to pack up the conference equipment in the room, Cheng Ye pushed the door open and walked out.

The person responsible for overseeing the meeting in Dapo Town was Jiang Chuan, who was currently huddled with Mu Shuang in front of the buying-and-selling station, chatting.

Seeing Cheng Ye come downstairs, Jiang Chuan immediately broke off mid-sentence and came up with a smile. “Chief Cheng, now you understand why I’m not staying at the Inspection Station, don’t you?”
