Wasteland Border Inspector-Chapter 260 - 118: The Wanderer’s Might, Outer City Plan! (Part 3)
"This..."
Jiang Chuan hesitated for a moment, then quickly turned to look at Ding Yishan.
The latter showed a thoughtful expression, made a gesture for silence, and immediately said, "Continue using the morning’s excuse, tell him about the Guardian Extraordinary’s traits."
"Yes."
Jiang Chuan nodded slightly, quickly pulled out a folded note from his pocket, on which a few lines were written.
The microphone was silent for more than ten seconds.
Just when Cheng Ye thought the Void Mist had covered over again, interfering with the signal.
Jiang Chuan’s voice came back, like reciting from memory, suddenly becoming fluent:
"Inspector Cheng, due to no intern inspector in the checkpoint’s history having encountered such an event, there are temporarily no corresponding handling rules."
"However, considering you are the first discoverer of the Guardian Extraordinary, providing Happiness City with precious response time, the checkpoint decides to temporarily elevate your knowledge clearance, temporarily designating you as a Third-stage Inspector. I will send a batch of information to your Defense Communication later, please check it promptly."
"Additionally, this batch of information involves highly classified secrets, please ensure that only you view it, and absolutely do not disclose it to any unrelated personnel."
"Alright, thank you."
Cheng Ye let out a long breath, his anxious heart slightly calmed down.
This feeling of being wrapped in the unknown was too awful; being able to get some inside information meant at least he wouldn’t be blindly crashing around like a headless fly.
"Regarding killing the Wanderer, we currently cannot do it, or rather, no Shelter City in the Wasteland can do it, because the Guardian Extraordinary’s characteristic is to come into being with desire, and as long as the will persists, it won’t perish."
"Hmm?"
Cheng Ye couldn’t help but widen his eyes, doesn’t that mean... the Guardian Extraordinary is immortal?
"Yes." Jiang Chuan seemed to have guessed his thoughts and continued, "In layman’s terms, it’s an immortal body. Even if we can kill him, after a while he will re-form somewhere, and once resurrected, he will target our Happiness City for revenge, attracting a massive wave of infection. In the past, two Super Shelter Cities have met their demise this way."
"As for guiding the Wanderer elsewhere, it’s even more difficult."
Jiang Chuan’s voice continued, "The behavior logic of the Guardian Extraordinary follows no pattern. Once it detects human interference, it will immediately enter an indiscriminate berserk state, by then it’s not a Migration Tide issue but a problem with even more trouble."
Goodness gracious!
Can’t kill, can’t touch, can’t manage, stacked buffs, can’t be targeted, right?!
This damn thing might pose no direct threat, but its entanglement level already far exceeds that of the Mother Source!
It’s truly the ultimate version of the answer.
Cheng Ye even conceived a thought; if he encountered a deadlock in the future, could he actively transform into a Guardian Extraordinary?
"Now, to respond to the Migration Tide, Happiness City has already started a round of discussions, generating quite a few constructive opinions and some draft plans. Inspector Cheng, after your clearance is elevated, you can find out about these things. Do you need me to read them to you? The checkpoint is also collecting inspectors’ opinions to amend unreasonable parts of the drafts for prompt implementation."
"There is already a draft plan?"
Cheng Ye paused slightly, suddenly raised an eyebrow, and sat down on the bedside.
Some impressive work.
The reaction speed of Happiness City is indeed swift; from morning to evening in just a few hours, it has advanced to this stage.
However, linking it to Jiang Chuan suddenly becoming fluent in speech and the exploratory questioning at hand.
Cheng Ye understood, a slight smile appeared as he gently nodded, "Then I’m obliged to trouble you, as I’m free right now."
"Okay, I’ll first read the draft plans with executable potential to you."
Without needing to think, just reading from the script, was undoubtedly a great enjoyment for Jiang Chuan.
His speech became increasingly fluent, even carrying a certain rhythmic intonation.
"Work in exchange for relief, to build an Outer City?"
Cheng Ye pondered quietly, lightly tapping his finger on the bedsheet, extracting keywords from the draft plan.
This idea is quite good, it not only solves the migrants’ settlement problem but also stabilizes morale through labor, but the key issue is...
"Does Happiness City have the resources to build the Outer City?"
After speaking, Cheng Ye added, "I’m not talking about temporary resources like tents and nutrient paste, I mean construction base materials, such as cement, steel bars, and various basic building materials."
Hmm?
Jiang Chuan was taken aback, originally thinking Cheng Ye would first ask how the migrants’ safety could be ensured or if the diversion mechanism was reasonable, but he didn’t expect Cheng Ye’s first question to directly address the practical resource bottleneck.
Leaning on the reclining chair, Ding Yishan, who had been half-narrowing his eyes, straightened up slightly upon hearing this, a trace of interest flashed through his eyes.
He nodded gently, raising one finger, and then curled it into a fist.
Following Ding Yishan for many years, Jiang Chuan immediately understood, cleared his throat, and replied, "This is possible, all the construction materials produced by Happiness City this summer have not been traded externally, they are all stored in the warehouse, which fully meets the Outer City’s first-phase construction demand. The subsequent Industrial Zone will fully switch production, as long as enough time is given, the material gap can definitely be filled."
Hiss.
This isn’t a small fuss involving several thousand people in Celestial Essence Community, but a large-scale construction involving at least half a million people at the base!
Does Happiness City actually have such a strong foundation?
Cheng Ye’s eyelid twitched; given it can meet construction demands, this draft plan is very practical.
If Happiness City wants to develop in the future, it certainly cannot be confined within a small Buffer Zone.
Like Firewood Shelter City, different level zones should also be designated for risk partition.
