Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 686

Chapter 686: Chapter 232: Infection Breeds, Mountains Fall from the Sky! (Part 3)

He did have quite a bit of powder, but if the Ghost Water Cave Crab became aggravated and fully transitioned from a dormant state to an awakened state and stopped sleeping, where would he find the courage to sneak up and poison it?

“If that’s the case, then let’s use enough for five doses at once, with layered explosions timed to go off!”

Luokuke gritted his teeth, and with determination, he directly prepared five portions of higher concentration stimulating powder.

He wrapped the powder separately using special dissolvable paper, with the dissolution time of each layer precisely controlled to one minute, set at intervals of two minutes.

This way, even if the Ghost Water Cave Crab cleared the first wave, the subsequent powders would explode one after another, giving it no chance to catch its breath.

Feeling incredibly anxious, he stuck close to the ground, crawling slowly like a lizard towards the lake. Seizing the moment when the Ghost Water Cave Crab hadn’t fully awakened, he quickly threw the five paper packages into the water.

After doing all this, he dared not stay for even a moment, turning and dashing into the dense forest, his steps so hurried that he nearly stumbled.

Boom!

A sudden vibration came from behind, and the lake surface was whipped into water sprays half a meter high.

The constantly harassed Ghost Water Cave Crab indeed transitioned completely into an awakened state.

Once, twice, but not thrice or more.

After being poisoned repeatedly, it simply stopped its dormant state, staring at the shore with its murky crab eyes, as if trying to figure out who was causing trouble.

As for the recently dissolved first batch of red powder, it still used its old method, first relying on its pincers to oscillate and layer, then using poison water crystals for purification.

But just after clearing the first wave, the second wave of powder dissolved on time, staining the lake surface dark red again, and as soon as the second wave was cleared, the third wave followed closely…

The Ghost Water Cave Crab emitted a roar of unprecedented anger, violently waving its pincers in the water, stirring up large splashes.

It repeatedly released a ghostly blue light gathering the red powder, but before the poison water crystals could complete purification, new powder exploded again, like an endless trouble it couldn’t clear away.

“Hahaha, try clearing them all!”

Luokuke hid behind the distant tree, unable to resist stifling a low laugh.

Unlike other inspectors who weren’t good at concocting potions, this Ghost Water Cave Crab couldn’t be tackled, but for him, who excelled at these “chemical methods,” it was no problem.

When the five portions of powder finished exploding in succession, the Ghost Water Cave Crab finally showed signs of fatigue, noticeably slowing its movements, and its body size shrank from the initial sixty centimeters to just over ten centimeters.

This already met the containment standards.

However, Luokuke didn’t hurry forward. He waited until the Ghost Water Cave Crab cleared the last bit of red powder, its size further shrunk to five centimeters, completely exhausted, then cautiously approached with the containment box.

As long as the infection source doesn’t enter the explosive state, its aggression will greatly diminish, generally not attacking humans actively, and its abilities become singular.

For example, the “stasis control wave” and “area purification” that only appear in the explosive state of the Ghost Water Cave Crab, can’t be used now.

“Come, get in quickly!”

Luokuke gripped a short knife with one hand for safety, and held the opened containment box with the other, crouching slowly in front of the Ghost Water Cave Crab.

The containment box was actually a special Source Rail creation, naturally able to attract infection sources and briefly suppress their abilities.

Although this stage is the safest time for containment, he still couldn’t afford to slack, walking on tiptoes, body tense, ready to flee at any moment.

Smelling the atractive scent from the containment box, the Ghost Water Cave Crab slowly opened its crab eyes, glanced at Luokuke, but did not move.

Only when Luokuke gently placed the box beside it did it reluctantly move its crab legs, slowly crawling inside.

“Done!”

An indescribable sense of achievement surged in his heart, Luokuke even began imagining what kind of surprised expression Cheng Ye would have upon seeing him contain the Ghost Water Cave Crab!

Yes, he’s also a Third-stage Inspector.

Though fighting against a creature like the Demon Eye Sponge might not be advantageous, dealing with a single Ghost Water Cave Crab is something that comes easily.

Once the Ghost Water Cave Crab was fully inside the box, Luokuke immediately pressed the lid down, securing the lock, and turned to leave with the box.

Except.

He had just lifted the box and hadn’t had time to turn around when suddenly an inexplicable wave came from beside him.

Following, his fingers uncontrollably loosened, with a “thud,” the box heavily fell on his foot.

What happened?

Luokuke was shocked, discovering that he completely lost control over his body.

He wanted to turn his head to look at the source of the wave, but his neck seemed welded in place, motionless as he felt panicked.

Then, he heard the “splash” of water emerging beside him, mixed with a moist scent of fishiness, slowly approaching.

Concealed by the Obsidian Battle Armor masking the human scent, he initially wasn’t worried about being discovered, but when the gigantic creature gradually moved in front of him, Luokuke was utterly stunned.

Ghost Water Cave Crab?

How is that possible?

How could there be another…no, how could there be two other Ghost Water Cave Crabs?

His peripheral vision tightly focused on both sides, and a giant crab with deep gray-green shell climbed out from Lake One, while another with gray-yellow shell emerged from Lake Two, both over two meters in size, four times larger than the “small crab” he had previously contained.

Could it be…male and female?

Was the one he contained their offspring?

Buzz.

Luokuke’s mind went instantly blank, his thoughts completely stopped.

In his eight years as an Inspector, he had never seen infection sources capable of mutual reproduction!

The checkpoint had contained so many infection sources, but never recorded anything similar.
