Wasteland Border Inspector-Chapter 342 - 140: Anchoring the Foundation, Major Construction Begins!

"This is a long story. Jiang Chuan talked to me about it for quite a while, but I didn't quite get it." He spoke, with a faint rustling sound of pages turning audible, "But it's not a big problem. I asked him to send you a detailed manual. You should be able to understand it... Even if you don't, it's fine, I've already arranged everything for you..."

Poor Brother B, clearly unaware that Cheng Ye, on the other end of the line, was the originator of the whole plan.

At this moment, at the top of the lighthouse of the waterpower station.

Liu Bi was holding a microphone in one hand, pulling out a piece of paper filled with writing from his pocket with the other.

"I heard from Jiang Chuan that you've already started in Martial Path, and now you're planning to get into the Four Forces, right? Don't rush. I know you like to be active in thought, so learning might be slow, but the set that Brother Long left is perfect for you. I've already asked Jiang Chuan to bring me the recording Brother Long left, and the latest you'll have it by tomorrow."

"Jiang Chuan speaks highly of you, which should somewhat represent some attitude from the Station Chief. I can't say certain things on the microphone, but Cheng Ye... The burdens you carry were left by Brother Long, you're not alone in this. There's me, and your Sister Luo, we'll accompany you in paying back to the Inspection Station..."

"I've asked about the situation in the field, and the station has stopped all tasks, which is a good thing."

Liu Bi's tone turned a bit lighter, "Take this time to rest well, first to wait for me to come back to accompany you on your duties, and also to learn how other inspectors take responsibility. If you want to go far on this path in the future, these experiences are essential."

"Oh and, I heard Wang Kang is doing well too, I've also set up a plan for him. Help me give it to him and make sure he carries it out well, especially since his dad asked me before he left..."

Liu Bi rarely babbled, yet his words revealed an indisguisable sense of relief, as if a long-standing weight in his heart had finally been lifted.

Cheng Ye didn't interrupt, just quietly listened, with the receiver close to his ear, feeling the concern that was almost overflowing.

When Liu Bi finally stopped talking and asked if he had any questions, Cheng Ye softly said:

"Brother B, you didn't say earlier, what exactly is the station arranging for you to do in the Industrial Zone?"

"Oh, didn't I just mention that inspectors need to go out and lead teams in construction? Someone has to coordinate the needed materials. Station Chief Ding wants me to stay temporarily to respond to their needs, especially for urgent tasks."

So it turns out to be a "debt collector" role?

Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment, then felt that the arrangement was indeed appropriate.

After all, having Liu Bi back, he couldn't lead teams out like other inspectors.

Having worked for more than ten years, his inspection work was still bumpy, clearly not cut out for leading teams.

Staying at the waterpower station is great, this kind of task requiring materials collection is perfect for someone straightforward like him.

If it were someone indecisive, not only would it delay things, but it might also lead to internal injuries from frustration.

"That's good, I still have to be on duty at South Station for one more day today, only then can I 'rest' tomorrow."

"Alright, take care, no need to say more... You can just make your own decisions."

Two grown men wouldn't repeat warnings like when Luo Xiaoxue was around.

Liu Bi reassuringly talked about the changes in the waterpower station and the Industrial Zone, particularly the scale of upcoming infrastructure, and even shared his visions for the future of Happiness City with him.

Cheng Ye's face suddenly turned a bit peculiar; he realized that many parts were things he had previously discussed with Jiang Chuan, and now they were parroted by Liu Bi.

Towards the end, Liu Bi mentioned two key points that he was very concerned about at the moment.

First, why is the temperature still dropping after the arrival of the Void Mist?

"Based on the currently known information, the formation of Fog Caves requires energy, and the Void Mist can absorb heat for conversion, causing the dramatic temperature drop in Stone Province as the Void Mist continues to absorb."

Liu Bi paused, then added, "But the Void Mist won't last too long. The recent frequency of Fog Caves appearing has significantly reduced, based on the previous experience in Sand Province, it should be ending."

Second, the suspected source that escaped from the waterpower station.

Although no official notification was issued, all security work had been lifted earlier in the morning.

From this deduction, it should have been dealt with conveniently last night?

Cheng Ye hesitated a bit, and before the call ended, he didn't mention that he also wanted to try leading a team outside.

Even though it could be confirmed now that Ding Yishan's attitude had changed after listening to him, and in the entire package plan, he had transformed from an initial pawn into a participant in shaping the rules.

But this is different from personally venturing out to lead and contract.

Going out to lead a team relies on hard strength, experience in handling unexpected situations, skills in navigating human relations, and survival wisdom to establish a foothold in the Wilderness.

And these are precisely what this Intern Inspector, who has never been out in the field, lacks the most.

Even though he could rely on his modern knowledge system and his advanced understanding of this era, Cheng Ye dared not claim that he could outperform those Third-Phase, Fourth-Phase Inspectors.

Because all his ideas still remained in the realm of theoretical discussion, never truly taking root and bearing fruit.

But if he were to really go out and do it, he wouldn't be completely without confidence.

This confidence stems not only from the knowledge stored in his head but also because the personnel he can mobilize isn't any less than the other Inspectors.

Hidden within Celestial Essence Community are quite a few Pioneer Corps veterans, and as long as he and Elder Song speak, it shouldn't be difficult to draw out some manpower to stabilize the beginnings.

The core of the upcoming development is nothing more than choosing the right terrain, preparing sufficient materials, and reasonably distributing the progress.

At most, add a little soothing for the people, guiding public opinion, supplemented with some necessary little thoughts and techniques.

These happen to be his strengths.

Of course, contracting construction for Migrants ultimately concerns the big picture of the inspection station and even Happiness City.

If they're not reassured about this Intern Inspector and want to protect him, it also makes perfect sense.

Waiting for further notifications and informing Liu Bi after having specific news wouldn't be too late.

Putting down the Defense Communication, Cheng Ye carried a basin to the washroom for washing up.

Cold water splashing on his face made his mind clearer, whether he could go out in the end or not, getting the current things done well was the right way.

However, upon returning, he noticed that the Defense Communication lit up again.

Picking it up, the corner of his mouth involuntarily cracked open a tiny gap, letting out a long breath.
