Wasteland Border Inspector

Liu Bi, accompanied by Niu Fu, hurriedly left.

They even requisitioned his off-road vehicle, leaving only a message that they would return tomorrow and, unless it’s urgent, would stay here to help watch over Yu Yong.

Cheng Ye originally wanted to say a few more words in explanation, but seeing Liu Bi’s determined look, he swallowed his words back.

He suddenly thought that the Satellite City had always required two inspectors to supervise each other. Perhaps in the future, the inspectors responsible for the containment and research of the Infected Bodies might also need to be grouped in pairs to balance each other.

However, Cheng Ye could see that Liu Bi clearly had other thoughts on his mind.

But thinking about the superpowers that occasionally erupted from Liu Yi, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

It might not be long before Brother B understands that often, even if you want to live your life peacefully, unexpected events will always find their way to you, forcing you into turmoil.

The only way to avoid these disturbances is through research and continuous preparation, to stand undefeated.

"Engineer Qian, Engineer Li, thank you for your assistance!"

After seeing off Liu Bi, Cheng Ye turned around and greeted the two structural engineers who had come from Wenlu County.

Not only the engineers but Lin Bao also brought along a hundred-man engineering team.

With the transportation vehicles provided by Davidson, these foundational forces for the development of Wenlu County ended up entirely benefiting him.

"Inspector Cheng, rest assured, it’s not our first day doing this job."

Engineer Li patting his chest, assured with enthusiasm, "After being idle for so long, everyone’s eager to get back to work. The restart and maintenance of a hydropower station is on us!"

Engineer Qian hurriedly chimed in: "You can be at ease, even if we have to work through the night, we will push the work forward and assure Inspector Cheng’s satisfaction."

Seeing their firm attitude, Cheng Ye felt relieved, understanding that Lin Bao must have instructed them on something.

This was exactly what he needed, and immediately called Wu Rui’s team to be responsible for the surrounding security patrol.

Once everything was arranged, the unloaded equipment parts began to be methodically transported towards the hydropower station.

Cheng Ye coordinated for a while, and seeing the work was on track, he hurriedly went to a factory building deep in the industrial area.

The factory was empty, with only a small room of about twenty square meters cordoned off in the corner with special materials.

This was where Yu Yong rested every day and was specially designed as his containment room.

Cheng Ye knocked on the door, and upon hearing "Come in" from inside, he pushed the door open and entered.

The room was simply furnished, with a desk, a wooden chair, and a small bed in the corner.

The ceiling, floor, and all four walls of the room were covered with optical magnetic sheets.

These sheets were connected to the energy battery behind the room and could release five minutes of Shadowless Light and Shadow-Canceling Light, enough to suppress the fusion degree of the Ghost Shadow Spider inside Yu Yong.

At this moment, Yu Yong was sitting cross-legged by the head of the bed, engrossed in a book on architecture.

Cheng Ye closed the door, pulled over the wooden chair to sit by the bed, and took out the Defense Communication to check Yu Yong’s fusion degree.

The screen showed the value had fallen to 57%, reaching the safety level, and his tightened eyebrows slightly eased.

"Cheng Ye, I apologize for my recklessness today." Yu Yong still had his eyes on the pages, but his voice carried a slight undetectable anxiety.

"No need to apologize, you didn’t do anything wrong."

Cheng Ye gently shook his head, "I’ve been thinking that perhaps humans and Infected Bodies should explore a deeper mode of coexistence, allowing both sides to try and understand each other."

"That’s impossible." Yu Yong finally looked away from the book, his expression turning grim, "In my situation, Life has long had a clear end. I don’t even know when I’ll completely lose control and revert to the form C35, destroying Dapo Town, which you’ve painstakingly managed."

"Oh, did you feel anything today?"

"Uncontrollable power." Yu Yong finally lifted his head, eyes pondering, "If we can’t entirely limit the Infected Bodies’ use of power, we’ll never grasp the boundaries of power losing control. Just like with me, although sealed with a lock, there’s a part of the key in my hand. I can open the lock at any time and call upon a portion of the power."

This was easy to understand.

Cheng Ye immediately knew what Yu Yong meant, just as Tan Ming imposed restrictions on the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse from passively drawing life force from him, but didn’t completely rid him of the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse, nor cut off the use of the symbiotic state.

The Elder sealed the Ghost Shadow Spider within Yu Yong, but Yu Yong could still call upon some of its power.

If humans truly found a way to make the power of the Infected Bodies entirely controllable, it would be nearly equivalent to mastering the ability to eradicate the threat of Infected Bodies from the source.

For instance, developing a solution that temporarily strips away power when applied, regardless of being a normal person or an Infected Body.

If successfully achieved, the numerous conflicts on the Wasteland arising from Infected Bodies could quickly settle.

"What’s your idea then?"

"The inspector I fought this afternoon had some strange power that weakened my recovery ability. Do you know what that ability is?" Yu Yong suddenly shifted the discussion to the core question.

"You mean?"

"It’s a literal weakening." Yu Yong provided a straightforward example, "If my usual energy level is 5, after being impacted by his power, it temporarily suppresses it to 3. I think this kind of power might offer some new ideas for us to research ways to suppress the Infected Bodies."
