Wasteland Border Inspector-Chapter 339 - 140: Anchoring the Foundation, Major Construction Begins!

Happiness Defense Line.

Though the isolation mesh, stretching tens of kilometers, is not made of Isolation Alloy, it is still a high-strength alloy resistant to corrosion, glinting coldly in the chaotic rain.

As the rain intensified in an instant, many migrants near the defense line launched an assault.

This was expected.

Trying to use moral restraint on ordinary people struggling in the Wasteland?

It's simply a fantasy!

The force within these ordinary people, influenced by a Wanderer, yearning for change has never disappeared; instead, it grows fiercer with their halted steps.

They not only wish to change their fate but also vainly hope to bend this Super Shelter City to their will.

But reality offered them the most brutal response.

Countless people clung to the isolation mesh like zombies, scratching the mesh with their nails, attempting to climb; their bodies pressed against the net, emitting creaking groans.

The guards behind the defense line bunkers did not immediately intervene, but once someone managed to climb over the isolation mesh...

Da.. dadada.

Piercing gunfire erupted abruptly, and the vagrant who had just landed and hadn't had time to stretch was instantly shredded by dense firepower.

Hundreds of blood flowers burst in the rain curtain, washed by the downpour, spreading dark red patches on the muddy ground.

The crowd gathered in front of the isolation mesh was immediately frightened back, panic spreading like a virus, causing chaos and trampling underfoot, merging cries, curses, and rain into one clump.

And just then, the massive sound of speakers simultaneously rang out every five hundred meters along the isolation mesh, smashing through the rain curtain towards the crowd:

[Notification, notification!]

[Infection source detected, current behaviors assessed: attempting to cross the defense line, attempting to cause chaos]

[Please immediately follow the instructions to proceed to the safe area surrounded by white lights; we will ensure the safety of the survivors]

[If you do not arrive at the area within the specified time, you will be regarded as infected]

After the speaker repeated five times, dense mechanical operation sounds suddenly came from the depths of the Wilderness.

Dong!

Dong dong dong...

The numerous sounds of lights turning on connected into a single piece.

In the pitch-black Wilderness, spotlights emerged from the muddy ground.

No one knows when they were planted; perhaps emergency lighting facilities have existed for a long time.

The spotlights were divided into red, green, and white, carving clear light trails in the rainy night.

The vagrants looked down in horror and found the area near the isolation mesh was framed into boxes of red spotlights, with green spotlights forming meandering guiding lines inside, like neon snakes.

Simultaneously, numerous light spots suddenly illuminated the night sky.

Large helicopters hidden in the darkness slowly ascended, the white spotlight from their belly piercing through the rain curtain, revealing bright zones on the ground.

After a brief hesitation, the chaotic crowd quickly found direction.

From a high-altitude perspective, one could see the flow of people being guided by an invisible hand, retreating to the areas marked by white boxes on both sides.

Only the area in between remained covered by red spotlights, like an insurmountable death line, signaling absolute danger.

"City Lord Yuan, Deputy Director Yu has reported that the threat in Area A has been cleared."

"Very good."

In the massive "Sky Command" helicopter, Yuan Gang stood with hands tied at the edge of the cabin, overlooking the ground, nodding gently at the news.

"Send a Swordfish to pick her up."

"Already on the way," the command personnel immediately responded.

Yuan Gang said nothing further, his gaze piercing through the rain curtain, intently watching the movements below.

Yu Erlan's efficiency doesn't mean all threats are entirely cleared; such a massive migration flow, coupled with the emergence of the Fog Cave, ensures that the original source attracted couldn't possibly be just C35.

The eyes lurking in the dark are beyond Happiness City's ability and resources to hunt individually, leaving only this extreme method to sift through in one go.

"Code 'Water Monkey' has been located, Aubrey Dean commander is in pursuit!"

"Code 'Fear-Eating Snail' has been located, Chang Shichu commander is in pursuit!"

"Code 'Nightmare Vine' has been successfully captured, the infection connection is cut, please proceed with clean-up in Area D immediately."

Battle reports continuously echoed in the headset.

Yuan Gang nodded occasionally, sometimes frowning slightly.

As per the expectation, this migration wave should attract at most three original sources due to natural competition among sources.

Three is the limit; once this number exceeds, they fight each other over territory.

Yet, the reported original sources have already surpassed four, clearly indicating more lurking deep within, yet to surface.

Bzz bzz bzz.

A Swordfish helicopter approached from the side, its cabin door opened.

Donning pale purple Battle Armor, Yu Erlan turned to nod at the pilot before slightly crouching and suddenly leaping forward.

Despite the distance of over ten meters, she precisely jumped from Swordfish to Sky Command.

Swordfish tilted slightly by her impact, while the moment she landed inside the Sky Command cabin, an almost imperceptible energy seemed to support her, standing firmly.

"City Lord Yuan, C35 has been captured." She lifted a micro cage hanging from her waist.

Yuan Gang glanced at the black spider with a human face on its back in the cage, his indifferent gaze finally warming slightly:

"Excellent, the red bounty should be enough to pay our alliance fees for the year."

"Not just that."

Yu Erlan shook the cage before her eyes, "It still has the ability to think, maybe it can help us unlock the gate to Source Attraction technology."

"Not speaking anymore? Keep cursing." She raised an eyebrow at the spider in the cage.

The human face on the spider's back just stared venomously, jaw clenched, silent.
