Wasteland Border Inspector-Chapter 323 - 136: Making a Comeback, Dawn of a New Era! (Double-Length)

Chapter 323: Chapter 136: Making a Comeback, Dawn of a New Era! (Double-Length)

Hearing "second review" and "what to provide," Hou Rui suddenly smiled, a hint of goodwill in his eyes.

No matter what calculations Ding Yishan is making, at least this proposal considers the overall development of Happiness City, paving the way for the execution of the Outer City plan, rather than merely expanding the influence of the checkpoint.

If I reject it again, it would make me seem unreasonable.

"Alright, Station Chief Ding, let’s settle it this way." Hou Rui nodded, "You submit the list, and I’ll approve it."

After a pause, he added, "Our research institute will certainly do its best to cooperate, but some things... I hope you understand, the institute might not have enough stock."

"Rest assured, I will control this extent." Ding Yishan nodded again.

The two exchanged a knowing smile, reaching an understanding.

Then, the three from the Technology Faction rose to leave, their steps light, evidently satisfied with the outcome.

As for how the Technology Faction could secure enough power and benefits during the construction of the Outer City.

This was not the time to discuss, and even if discussed, no specific result would come out.

It has to wait until the Outer City is built, reached a certain scale, for everyone to get involved in the allocation.

At the moment, the Outer City is far from being realized, rushing would only lose the initiative in distribution.

The venue was left with just the three factions.

The Idealist Faction remained silently seated, while the Extraordinary Faction’s Carl Dickinson glanced around, his gaze sweeping over Liu Kun in the main seat and finally landing on Ding Yishan.

"Station Chief Ding."

"Minister Carl Dickinson." Ding Yishan nodded in response.

The previously confrontational bald man targeting the checkpoint and Liu Kun now showed no trace of unease, his demeanor very calm.

After a pause, Carl Dickinson stated frankly, "During the Outer City construction, the Legion must be responsible for clearing the surrounding environment to minimize the risk of infection sources infiltrating. But as you know, no matter how hard we try, some deeply hidden special infection sources can’t be completely eliminated."

"That’s indeed the case." Ding Yishan nodded in agreement, "Our checkpoint’s inspectors rely on repeated interrogations, careful observation, coupled with a series of measures to ferret out these stragglers."

"So here’s my thinking, if a powerful infection source gets through, it will undoubtedly cause danger. I plan to deploy personnel from the Cross Legion and Blood Dragon Corps, assigning each inspector a fifty-person escort, how about it?"

"That’s good, Minister Carl Dickinson is very considerate."

Ding Yishan’s eyes lit up, his tone earnest, "Although our checkpoint’s inspectors have some experience, their individual strength is only sufficient for self-protection, and may not handle chaotic situations. Having an escort truly reduces a lot of troubles. But..."

"Station Chief Ding, feel free to speak."

"What if a mother source appears..."

"No need to worry about that." Carl Dickinson thought Ding Yishan was going to propose some harsh conditions, but upon hearing this, he relaxed, "Over these years, Happiness City may not have ventured boldly into the Extraordinary Realm, but we’ve cultivated many talents."

"For example, Extraordinary..." he glanced at Liu Kun, paused, "There are few Extraordinaries, but we have trained quite a number of Half-Step Extraordinaries. Besides the resources promised in the meeting, I’ll additionally deploy two teams composed entirely of Half-Step Extraordinaries, an eight-person squad each, to maintain Outer City security around the clock and respond to inspectors’ needs anytime, what do you think?"

Extraordinaries are rare, but cultivating Half-Step Extraordinaries isn’t too difficult.

The three major corps, Cross and Blood Dragon Corps, all held by the Extraordinary Faction, typically have about fifty thousand troops, and can expand to a hundred thousand during enlistment seasons.

Selecting and grooming a few promising individuals to form several Half-Step Extraordinary escort teams is not surprising.

"That is certainly the best, thank you, much appreciated!"

Ding Yishan stood up and shook hands with Carl Dickinson, making no further requests.

He knew that the human resources the Extraordinary Faction could offer were about as much as they could.

"Minister Liu."

After the handshake, Carl Dickinson turned to Liu Kun, his tone sincere, "Regarding our previous attitudes towards you, I personally apologize here, and hope for your understanding."

Liu Kun stood up with a calm expression, and as their hands met, a powerful aura suddenly spread.

A subtle spark flashed in Liu Kun’s eyes, and Carl Dickinson’s expression changed subtly.

Is this the aura of someone about to enter the second phase of Extraordinary?

"No problem." Liu Kun’s voice was steady, "It’s all for Happiness City, understandable, but from now on..."

Before he could finish, Carl Dickinson already pulled a smile, both tacitly stopped their words.

Some things don’t need to be spoken outright.

Happiness City has many at the first step of Extraordinary, both he and Hou Rui included.

But reaching the second step of Extraordinary, only core members within factions have this strength.

For Liu Kun to reach this level all on his own, even solo combat?

If Ding Yishan also follows to Extraordinary, with two Extraordinaries at the checkpoint, perhaps it will truly regain its former glory!

Soon, Carl Dickinson left with a complex expression, leaving only the Idealist Faction still sitting.

But this time, it wasn’t Yu Hong approaching, but Ding Yishan, who organized the documents on the table and proactively sat down beside the chair at the far end.

"Minister Yu." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Station Chief Ding." Yu Hong looked kind, his gaze holding undisguised goodwill.

"I won’t say much, there’s something I want to ask of you."

"Go ahead."

"I don’t trust others, I’d like to ask you to provide some people to protect our checkpoint’s core personnel."

"Oh, how many do you need?"
