Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 949

Chapter 949: Chapter 302: Forbidden Martial State, Field Assignment! (Part 3)

Flipping to the end of the notebook, there’s a record about runes.

The Water Gathering Rune has been completely recorded by the Collector, with detailed information, but the “”-shaped rune decomposed from the Water Stopping Martial Domain doesn’t even qualify as a fragment level; it can’t trigger that special energy fluctuation when written.

“I wonder if, after being promoted, there’s a way to repair these incomplete runes by acquiring complete information from runes…”

Cheng Ye pondered as he slowly closed the experiment records.

Immediately after, the notebook on the desktop flickered slightly and disappeared without a trace, merging into the pendant on his chest.

The various explorations and ideas about runes, even if seen by others, were of no consequence,

But this experiment record documenting every search, fusion insight, and growth trajectory could easily expose his anomalies if it fell into someone else’s hands.

Hiding it in the pendant was undoubtedly the safest choice; a good memory is not as reliable as a bad pen. If he had new insights or data in the future, he could take it out to record at any time, both secretly and conveniently.

Sitting on the wide chair and sorting out his thoughts, Cheng Ye put on his coat and went downstairs.

Jiang Chuan had returned to the Buffer Zone to report, leaving Mu Shuang alone in Dapo Town again.

Initially, the girl couldn’t sit still, wandering around the town every day, but in recent days she had calmed down a lot. Somehow she got hold of a few balls of yarn and was awkwardly learning to knit a sweater.

“Mu Shuang, let’s head to Dongping Town.” Cheng Ye knocked on the window of the guardroom on the first floor.

“Got it!” Mu Shuang immediately put down the yarn and stood up, quickly running to the parking lot to start the off-road vehicle.

The car drove out of the town entrance, passing the long-sealed Dabo Inspection Station, and from afar, one could hear the rumbling construction sounds from Wenlu County.

After half a month of brewing, the new plan was officially implemented, sparking a construction boom in this county town.

Unfortunately, many old buildings had to be torn down and rebuilt, wasting a lot of manpower and resources, but there was no other way.

Rather than leaving potential hazards, it was better to thoroughly adjust the plan now, impacting the short term but unquestionably worth it in the long run.

After getting onto the national highway, the speed gradually increased.

Turning onto the road leading to Xiasha County Town, Cheng Ye felt somewhat surprised. The road, once pitted and extremely difficult to traverse, was now similar to Wenlu County’s initial county roads. A meter-wide separation strip had been opened on both sides, and the bomb craters on the ground were filled with tamped earth, allowing smooth and worry-free vehicle travel.

After driving a bit further, the view suddenly opened up.

Dongping Town, once wrapped by the Wilderness, now had vast fields carved out by human effort. At three o’clock in the afternoon, there were still countless silhouettes laboring on the ridges. A rough count showed no fewer than six or seven thousand people.

A temporary checkpoint was set up at the junction of the road and Dongping Town, with the sign’s large words “Dongping Inspection Station” particularly eye-catching.

The checkpoint was empty, and after waiting for about ten minutes, Liu Bi, wearing a large singlet, hurriedly arrived.

Compared to previous days, Liu Bi’s complexion was even darker, sweat beads hung on his forehead, but his smile was broader than before.

Evidently, overseeing the frontier work in Dongping Town allowed him to fully utilize his strengths and was a kind of down-to-earth enjoyment for him.

“Why didn’t you give a call and just came over?” Liu Bi opened the door of the inspection station, his tone carrying some surprise.

“I finished my things over there and came to see the progress in Dongping Town.”

“So soon?” Liu Bi raised an eyebrow, turned around, and took out a kettle and an iron basin from the checkpoint. “I thought it wouldn’t wrap up until around the fifteenth.”

“Pretty much according to the plan, two days ahead.” Cheng Ye poured water from the kettle below, Liu Bi reached out to catch it, washing the dirt and dust off his hands.

“Let’s go inside and take a look!” Liu Bi wiped his hands with a towel, enthusiastically beckoning, leading the way through the checkpoint.

Compared to Dapo Town’s orderly construction rhythm, the surroundings of Dongping Town looked inevitably a bit messy.

Crisscrossing ridges, scattered temporary shanties, and people in the distance cutting trees and leveling land were visible.

But compared to the previous fragmented and dormant “one town, two systems,” now the area exuded vibrant vitality. Everyone’s face carried the hope for a stable life, and even the air was filled with the scent of earth and sweat.

“Previously, Song Hai and Matthew Lee stayed holed up in the town, and the active sources of infection around were not dealt with at all. In the past few days I’ve been here, I’ve contained more than thirty scattered ones, fortunately all of the lowest level, without causing accidental injuries. Now a three-kilometer radius around the town has been fully carved out, setting aside the area occupied by the town itself, about thirty thousand acres of farmland have been truly sorted out.”

“At this rate, by next spring, opening up one to two hundred thousand acres of farmland is absolutely achievable!”

As Liu Bi walked and introduced, his tone was full of energy.

Cheng Ye couldn’t help being a bit surprised. Liu Bi had been at Dongping Town for less than two weeks; such progress was simply miraculous!

However, looking into the distance, several agricultural machines busy in the fields instantly resolved his doubts.

After all, human effort has its limits, but machines can work continuously, making their efficiency worlds apart.

“The power has been connected in Dongping Town, and I applied for agricultural support from Station Chief Lei. Just as you mentioned to Matthew Lee before, only by showing potential can we receive more support. We’ve now rented a total of six machines to help develop the farmland; they’re brand new from the industrial zone, and they only need to be driven back to the town for recharging each day, making it very convenient,” Liu Bi said cheerfully, but then looked somewhat troubled, “yet the bigger the area we cover, the greater our defense pressure next spring and summer.”
