Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 663

Chapter 663: Chapter 225: A Night of Peace, the Inspector’s Duty!

Actually, there is still a benign infection source inside the truck now, although it is not A-level, just the most basic D-level, it can help Wang Kang overcome spiritual contamination and cognitive disorder.

However, unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to drag Wang Kang into the whirlpool of Immortal Objects.

Although both of them bear the identity of Intern Inspector, his strength already surpassed that of the third-phase Inspector Luokuke, who was not skilled in actual combat, while Wang Kang was at the genuine intern level, and would be cautious even when encountering a lone Crab-man.

“No, no, I’m just curious, seeing you and Luokuke being so tense all the time.”

Wang Kang quickly waved his hand, also sat on the alloy bench beside him, and spoke earnestly, “I know I can’t help much, I can only try to stabilize the town’s residents and not cause you trouble. But Brother Cheng, if you need me to do anything, don’t be polite with me, just say it.”

“You being able to stabilize the residents is already the biggest help to me.”

Cheng Ye nodded slightly, turned and pointed to the detection instrument next to him, and tapped a few times on its operation screen.

Soon, a tested Magic Eye Sponge Tentacle popped out of the instrument and fell into the transparent containment cabin.

“This is the infection source we have to face.”

“Something there?” Wang Kang leaned over, studying it closely on the containment cabin, his eyes full of doubt.

“You can see it easily, but you need to take a bit of risk. Are you willing?” Cheng Ye thought for a moment and handed the choice to Wang Kang.

“What risk?”

“Active parasite infection source.”

“Will I die?” Wang Kang froze for a moment and instinctively asked.

“Of course not, it’s just that you might have to go to the hospital like I did before, and undergo a purification treatment.”

“Then bring it on.” Wang Kang barely hesitated, looking up at Cheng Ye with determined eyes, “Brother Cheng, I’m an Inspector too, I can’t always hide in the back.”

“Kang.”

“Hmm?”

“You really have grown!” Cheng Ye smiled and shook his head, got up and pressed the other side of the instrument.

Psh.

The sound of air spraying emerged, and a palm-sized containment box bounced out, much smaller than the box containing the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse.

Through the glass compartment of the box, you could see a slowly wriggling “iron block” inside.

It was somewhat similar to the Source Heart Meat Iron used by Luokuke, but with different abilities; the Source Heart Meat Iron could temporarily ironize the body to enhance combat power, but this one does not have an attack bonus.

Even so, Wang Kang still couldn’t see the iron block inside, and could only place his right hand near the sensing area of the containment box under Cheng Ye’s guidance.

The box slightly trembled, and the iron block inside instantly adhered to the glass wall, completing a fusion with Wang Kang’s palm.

Next.

Next, an intangible wave flashed by, and Wang Kang’s legs suddenly began to tremble violently, and the next second he kneeled to the ground, cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

It wasn’t until two to three minutes later that the trembling gradually stopped.

He took off his mask and gasped heavily, but an unusual flush appeared on his face, and his eyes showed a clearer look.

“This…”

“D-level benign interference source, Ten Thousand Steps Iron, during the infection period you will gain nearly infinite stamina, hmm, as long as the body has not completely collapsed, you won’t feel fatigue.”

Cheng Ye explained, “Of course, it’s also easy to remove, after returning to the Buffer Zone, the medical office can artificially eliminate it, the price is it may cause a period of weakness, the more extra stamina you use, the longer the weakness period.”

This was a specially chosen infection source for Wang Kang, primarily designed for a hit and run strategy.

Without an attack bonus, but relying on abundant stamina to save his life. When facing the bulky Crab-man, even if he couldn’t win, he could hold out until reinforcements arrived.

“Infinite stamina?”

Wang Kang was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up from the ground, bounced up and down a few times, and vigorously swung his arms, his eyes instantly lit up, “Seems like I’m really not tired anymore! I’ve been patrolling all day today, legs were sore beyond words, now I don’t feel anything at all!”

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Cheng Ye, eyes full of expectancy, his tone slightly excited, “Brother Cheng, can’t we keep this infection state ongoing? This feeling of not needing to catch one’s breath, not getting tired no matter how you move is just too exhilarating!”

Okay, infection that ordinary folks shy away from, yet he wants to keep it.

Looking at his seemingly fearless attitude towards infection, Cheng Ye found it both amusing and exasperating.

Perhaps it was due to him being trained by Cheng Ye that this kid also had an obsession with power that could protect and enhance his strength.

“What are you thinking, relying on the power of the infection source is a dead end.”

Cheng Ye softly rebuked, “The power gained from the infection source is temporary, and it will slowly corrode the body, relying on it for the long term leads to a dead end.”

“If you really want to become strong, practice the basics with Director Miao properly, follow in his footsteps to cultivate step by step, to reach true extraordinaryness, that is what truly belongs to you.”

“Hey, Brother Cheng, you’re right!”

Wang Kang immediately nodded, tossing aside that unrealistic thought, turning his gaze towards the containment cabin holding the sponge tentacles.

This time, his eyes were no longer cloudy, but he clearly saw the things inside the cabin, and couldn’t help but frown: “Ah, I can finally see it! Is this the Magic Eye Sponge’s tentacle? Ugh, why is there an eyeball growing on the top? That’s just disgusting!”

Cheng Ye was contemplating whether to take the opportunity to elucidate the scale and risk of the Magic Eye Sponge to Wang Kang once more, when the knocking sound suddenly came from the truck’s door.

Inspector Luokuke’s voice came from outside, “Chief Cheng, it’s me.”

“What’s up?” Cheng Ye reached out and pressed the cabin’s open button, and the door slowly lifted up.

“I let the patrol people keep an eye on you, and they called me as soon as they saw you woke up. Tonight we still have to…”

He was halfway through his sentence when he saw Wang Kang standing beside him, and instinctively paused, his gaze becoming slightly hesitant.

“Inspector Luo, I got infected too!” Wang Kang immediately stepped forward, his tone full of excitement, “Now I can see the infection source, and I can understand what you guys are talking about, you don’t have to refrain from mentioning it!”

This excitement about “infection” made Luokuke a bit bewildered.

He had seen too many people panicked after being infected, Wang Kang, being proactive in accepting and finding it fascinating, was a first.

Well, to be fair, Cheng Ye was actually the first.

But he didn’t dwell on it much, quickly coming back to himself, and looked at Cheng Ye: “Should we go into the water tonight or just guard the riverside?”

“Just guard, as long as they don’t come ashore, we won’t go down!”
