Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 711

Chapter 711: Chapter 238: Source Binder, Return to the Inner City! (2)

Cheng Ye was momentarily taken aback, then turned to look at Wang Kang’s serious face, and chuckled while shaking his head: “Is it the infection source that gives you this confidence?”

“I honestly don’t think it’s a problem.”

Wang Kang’s tone was earnest, “I’ve been thinking, maybe I shouldn’t remove the infection source. After all, it hasn’t caused me significant harm. At most, I’ll live twenty years less, right?”

“People die on the Wasteland every day. How can we dare to hope for such a long life? To live to forty, like my father, is already a huge gain!”

“Kang.” Cheng Ye spoke softly, interrupting him.

“Hmm?” Wang Kang looked up at him.

“Look down, what’s hanging on your chest?”

“I…” Wang Kang instinctively looked down, his gaze landing on his chest, where two shiny gold badges hung.

The badge on the left, shaped like an Inspector’s identity badge yet somewhat resembling a regular resident’s badge from Happiness City, was a dazzling gold with a “” character engraved on the front and the familiar Happiness Giant Wall design on the back.

The one on the right was the personal badge that every Inspector had, now hanging alongside the “” badge, making it particularly striking.

“Remember, no matter the time or circumstance, we are Inspectors.”

“To defeat the infection source and restore order to this world, we must first have the ability to remain true to ourselves. Using the infection source’s power to complete tasks is fine, but we cannot become controlled or bound by the infection source for the sake of that power.”

He paused, his gaze looking out the window at the approaching South Station, and continued, “If even we, Inspectors who face the infection source head-on, can’t resist the allure of such power, then who else can? When will we truly end this Wasteland Era?”

Profound and weighty words.

Wang Kang’s face showed a slight daze, and the two locked eyes for a long time before he finally leaned back into his seat, his expression turning more contemplative.

“Brother Cheng, is there a distinction between good and bad power?” he asked softly, his tone laced with a hint of confusion.

“No.”

Cheng Ye gently shook his head, his mind involuntarily flashing to Tan Ming and Tan Rui, “But… faith has levels, it has good and bad. Your faith hasn’t yet become strong enough to harness these powers. When you truly figure it out in the future, you’ll naturally obtain a power that matches and belongs to you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the convoy began to slow down.

They did not stop at the South Inspection Station for the usual checks, instead driving straight into the Buffer Zone from Entrance D.

This special privilege was the result of joint approval from Happiness City and the Inspection Station, and was also directly related to the four major Infected Bodies in the vehicle.

All four Inspectors had used benign infection sources, which only affected the user without spreading to the surroundings, but still had potential dangers that required careful screening.

Passing through the South Inspection Station, the convoy continued to speed towards the Gate of Happiness.

Cheng Ye immediately sat up straight, dispelling the distracting thoughts in his mind. His gaze seriously scanned outside the window, carefully observing the changes inside the city.

In the ten days that had passed, the overall layout of the Buffer Zone hadn’t changed much, but there were visibly more pedestrians on the streets.

Even in the outskirts, you could see workers walking by the roadside, seemingly surveying and assessing something.

The construction sites surrounding the South Station were bustling in the crisp autumn weather, with huge spotlights illuminating the sites as brightly as day. The workers were working tirelessly day and night, clearly aiming to complete construction before winter arrived.

More surprising was the scale of the tent camp, which had expanded several times over. At a glance, thousands of new tents had been added, neatly divided into sections, forming an orderly temporary residential area.

The area around the shantytown also showed new movements, with parts of the old area being demolished. Large amounts of construction debris were continuously being transported out, with hundreds of busy figures seen moving around the construction site at night.

“This is truly… everything is waiting to flourish!”

Cheng Ye was somewhat surprised, yet he was very aware that during his time away to Dapo Town, the Buffer Zone must have implemented new policies.

A new round of planning and construction had clearly commenced, and would no longer allow the area to develop disorderly.

Upon entering the city, the changes were even more visible to the naked eye.

The originally wide roadways now had only one side barely passable, with the other side completely excavated, revealing the underground pipelines.

Most had been dug up and placed on the surface for inspection, and new pipelines had been delivered to the site, stacked by the roadside awaiting installation.

Every so often, groups of workers wearing helmets with headlamps stood along the roadside. They looked to have been newly recruited from refugees, gathered around an engineering master, listening carefully.

Seeing the convoy approaching, the workers instinctively paused their actions, their eyes all turning in unison towards them.

Their gaze was full of awe and intertwined with emotions such as envy, admiration, and anticipation that couldn’t be hidden.

A vivid vitality was bursting forth from every corner of Happiness City, completely dispelling the gloom left by the “Stand-In Starfish” more than a month or nearly two months ago.

With a large influx of newcomers, Happiness City, which had once fallen into stagnation, seemed to finally take steps forward in development again.

Just like the land once covered by Tan Ming’s faith, now the plants growing there were no longer just superficial, losing their vitality as soon as they emerged, empty shells with hollow insides.

Now Happiness City, and this land, seemed to have cast off its shackles, beginning a genuine “wild growth.”

However, Tan Ming’s faith’s maintenance ultimately only lasted for a year.
