Wasteland Border Inspector-Chapter 241 - 114: Frenzied Gains, Inspector’s Four-Piece Set!

Chapter 241: Chapter 114: Frenzied Gains, Inspector’s Four-Piece Set!

There are no mottled walls here, no broken windows patched with metal sheets.

No barrack-style buildings, and certainly no precarious shantytowns.

The buildings here are new, the windows are bright and clear, and on the walls of some buildings, moving light advertisements are projected, with people in the images smiling and talking, a scene of harmony.

Like... really traveling back in time.

Back to that lively, safe modern city where you don’t have to be on edge at night.

Cheng Ye was momentarily dazed, with a surprising warmth in his eyes.

Of course, it wasn’t the scene that moved him.

It was purely the rapid ascent, the wind making his eyes ache, and not daring to close them, he had to endure the discomfort.

"The first time flying is always like this, the wind causes tears to flow."

Li Changfeng also maneuvered his flying wing, chasing up with a cheerful smile, "How is it, the view is nice, isn’t it? How about flying a bit higher to see more?"

Cheng Ye nodded, wiser this time, squinting his eyes intentionally while pulling the control lever.

The Flying Wing Assault Unit continued to climb steadily, the sound of the wind whistling past his ears as the scenery below grew increasingly smaller.

Thirty meters, fifty meters, eighty meters...

Until reaching nearly a hundred meters in height, the control lever transmitted a force of resistance, indicating it had reached the maximum height.

But mystically, the whole platform remained as stable as a rock, with not a trace of excess wobbling, as though suspended mid-air by an invisible force field.

This time, it was Cheng Ye’s turn to truly overlook the entire view.

Somewhat resembling the Inner City’s layout, the entire Zone B4 was square-shaped, prosperous and calm within, while the outside was firmly wrapped by a twenty-meter-high alloy city wall.

But that wasn’t the point; the point was the rail tracks connecting the city to Firewood Track Mountain.

Four silver-grey rails, akin to dragon’s antennae, stretched out from the inside of the city wall, embedding directly into the rock face of Firewood Track Mountain, snugly meshing with the mountain’s main rail.

Looking further away, around Firewood Track Mountain, surprisingly, there were three city zones of comparable scale to Zone B4, similarly connected to the mountain via rails, like petals embracing the stigma.

In the outermost regions, there were over a dozen smaller square-shaped city zones, orbiting the core like satellites, each area lit, etching out a clear city silhouette in the night.

"This is the unique star-rail layout of our Firewood Shelter City."

Li Changfeng’s voice resonated, "Firewood Track Mountain is an A-level core area, the platform outside is all factories, internally transformed into living quarters, I can vouch it’s the safest, most comfortable place on this planet, right in that mountain belly."

"The four cities outside are B-level areas, where we are, Zone B4, along with B7, B12, B15, connected to Firewood Track Mountain via rails."

"And the cities on the outskirts are C-level areas, mainly responsible for raw material preliminary processing. "

Li Changfeng sketched a circle in the air, "The process is quite simple, Zone C does initial raw material processing, sent to B-level areas for further processing and then via rails to Firewood Track Mountain for final manufacturing, with Source Rail technology enhancement."

For Firewood Shelter City, although such info might be considered secrets to ordinary folk, it evidently wouldn’t be withheld from allies like Inspectors from Happiness City.

Cheng Ye looked at the rails spanning across the sky, only feeling a dryness in his throat, momentarily speechless.

Truth be told, he indeed felt a strong impulse at that moment.

Wanting to stay, stay in this Super Shelter City, which clearly had more potential, and brighter prospects than Happiness City.

But his gaze shifted, landing on a semi-darkened area in the northwest.

Dots of light flickered here and there, like dust-covered stars, incongruent with the surrounding brilliance.

And under the illumination, one could see that there was also a large expanse of city buildings.

"What is that?"

"Hmm..."

Li Changfeng followed his gaze, the smile on his face vanished instantly, his complexion visibly darkened, his voice grew lower, "That’s Zone C35, about three months ago, a Mother Source Infected Body got mixed in, and it all fell into chaos overnight."

"Mother Source Infected Body?"

Cheng Ye swallowed unconsciously.

He had only a vague idea of these words before, but Happiness City had just undergone a crisis triggered by a Mother Source, nearly turning the Buffer Zone into a wasteland.

"Yes, Mother Source Infected Body."

Li Changfeng sighed, seeming both helpless and confused, "Well, Zone C35 was ruined just like that, the Mother Source Infected Body took advantage of the chaos to escape, we’re still hunting it down, not knowing exactly where it ran off to."

Casually saying "ruined," like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, made one’s heart race.

"Mother Source escaped or it’s lurking..."

"Unclear, upon reaching the level of Mother Source, it possesses complete extraordinary ability, can speak and act like a normal person, and only under certain stimuli does it reveal itself."

He suddenly gestured downward with his mouth, a hint of self-mocking smile on his lips, "Maybe right now, it’s standing on some rooftop staring at us, scared?"

"Scared?"

Cheng Ye was silent for a moment, and then nodded honestly, "At this moment, you might be even more dangerous than us."

"Dividing the zones into A, B, C... different levels, besides boosting efficiency, is also to isolate risks, reducing the cost of Mother Source intrusions."

Li Changfeng understood the implied meaning in his statement, "If something really happens, sever the rails to seal off the infected area, that’s exactly how Zone C35 was handled, no one can get out, and no one dares to go in."

"Let’s go, enough of the morbid talk."

Li Changfeng suddenly waved his hand freely, leaned forward slightly, and the flying wing glided towards the inspection station, "The more prosperous a place is, the more scars buried underneath. Let’s talk about something else, I really enjoy listening to radio, your Happiness City’s programs are quite interesting."
