Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 950

Chapter 950: Chapter 302: Forbidden Martial State, Field Operations! (Part 4)

Continuing eastward from Dongping Town, there lies a vast wilderness that no one ventures into.

This means Dongping Town and Dapo Town face the same predicament, both directly confronting the threats that could emerge from the wilderness at any moment.

Cheng Ye followed Liu Bi for a tour around the town’s vicinity, and Matthew Lee also hurried over upon hearing the news.

The three of them came to the area previously overseen by Song Hai, climbed the government building that had been constructed up to the fourth floor, and cast their gaze toward the boundless eastern wilderness.

The withered yellow grass undulated with the terrain, billowing into golden waves in the wind, stretching to the horizon, merging with the gray sky, showing no trace of human presence.

Meanwhile, the newly cultivated furrows of Dongping Town gently stretched from the town’s edge into the wilderness. The freshly turned soil glistened with a moist reddish-brown, contrasting starkly with the surrounding withered yellow, brimming with vitality.

To the north, one could see the vast industrial area, with dark blue factories stretching endlessly, almost covering half of the sky.

To the south lay the ruined outline of Xiasha County Town, its walls mottled and broken, hiding untold dangers inside.

“We have the land now. Next, we need to guard it and wait for the day of harvest,”

Cheng Ye took a long breath, and a verse suddenly appeared in his mind.

The road is long and winding, I will seek it from above and below.

The hardest first step has now been taken, and what’s left is to carefully tread each subsequent step.

Presently, this place is still barren, with no crops and an unclear full view of the future.

But Cheng Ye firmly believed that as long as they accumulate slowly, when they reach a certain point, it will be like skill evolution, where a change in quantity leads to a change in quality.

“Have you selected the location for the fieldwork?” Matthew Lee asked, picking up the conversation.

“Yes, heading straight to Rainbow Light.”

Cheng Ye took out the Defense Communication tool, tapped a few times on the screen, and brought up the fieldwork task interface.

This was a newly added feature after the Advanced Defense Communication update, though the interface remained simple, reminiscent of the text games of early years.

The fluidity improved significantly, but it severely lacked functional modules. For instance, to get more detailed information on a specific task, one still had to apply for paper materials at the inspection office, even if that information was public and not classified.

Moreover, long before when he planned to buy a car, he had already seen this interface on Matthew Lee’s Defense Communication tool, so he was not unfamiliar with it at first use.

Fieldwork tasks are mainly divided into two major categories:

The first category is procurement tasks previously encountered, which belong to the clerical domain.

The material demand for this type of task is often in tons. Inspectors do not need to personally escort materials back, just negotiate a supply contract with the supplier at the designated location.

Specialized transport channels between various Shelter Cities have long been established, specifically for such material transactions.

The difficulty of the task lies not in the execution itself but in unifying pricing negotiations and determining some additional terms.

However, since Rainbow Light has become the dominant force in the Guang Province region, even subordinating surrounding Shelter Cities, bypassing Rainbow Light to undertake procurement tasks in Guang Province is as difficult as reaching the sky.

The second category includes adventure tasks such as exploration, peacekeeping, and expansion, belonging to the combat domain.

Cheng Ye was currently reviewing the list of this type of task.

After filtering all tasks in Guang Province these days, he had highlighted three tasks for special attention:

[Listing of External Regular Tasks by Inspection Station (Guang Province)]

[1. Explore Black Brand Mountain settlement, investigate special breeding creatures, and determine the feasibility of producing meat-based nutrient paste (Difficulty 2)]

[2. Head to Double Moon Lake settlement to terminate the existing nutrient paste cooperation agreement and recover related cooperation resources (Difficulty 1)]

[3. Escort a new batch of diplomatic convoy personnel to Rainbow Light Shelter City for rotation handover (Difficulty 2)]
