Chapter 42: Three major legions, perfect coordination!

There are three legions in Happiness City.

Each with its unique function, they built three interlocking lines of defense for survival.

The first line of defense, the Blood Dragon Legion, is mainly responsible for mopping-up and deterrence. They patrol the surrounding areas all year round, weaving a dynamic defense network. They use high-frequency actions to reduce the threat of infected bodies and are best at mobile warfare and assault warfare.

The second line of defense, the Crusaders, are mainly stationed near hydropower stations to protect core infrastructure such as surrounding industrial factories and ensure the safety of the city's energy and production lifeline.

The third line of defense, the Happiness Legion, is responsible for guarding the high wall of happiness. It is equipped with elite weapons and a systematic defense system to build a three-dimensional ultimate defense line.

"Did something happen at the hydroelectric power station?"

Cheng Ye's heart skipped a beat.

In order to improve energy utilization, most of the large factories in Xingfu City are built near hydropower stations.

Once something happens, it will either be a sudden attack of infection or an armed attack by other sanctuary cities.

But considering the combat power of the three major legions of Xingfu City, the latter has not appeared in nearly twenty years, while the former is more likely to encounter a wave of infection.

Of course, there is also a special situation that we would rather not imagine...

I opened the collector panel and glanced at the upper right corner to see the charge value had reached 54%.

Cheng Ye felt a little relieved and calmly ordered, "Raven, pass the order down. The guards will temporarily suspend their shifts and come over to assist with the inspection."

"Owl, follow me in. If anything seems wrong..."

"Don't worry, sir. I understand." The owl thought to himself and immediately realized the problem.

If the Crusaders were returning to the city on official business, they should have reported it remotely to the inner city and notified the checkpoint long ago.

But now the other party was approaching at high speed, but only notified the checkpoint using the car.

Considering the vicious incident that just happened at the Central Checkpoint, it is not difficult to imagine what is about to happen.

A car full of infected bodies?

"A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. You are so brave, boy!"

Li Matthew had already packed his backpack, but when he turned around, he saw Cheng Ye sitting behind the alloy table again. He couldn't help but sigh and quickened his pace.

By the time the car entered the diversion channel, the figure had already disappeared in the rain.

"Are you brave?"

Cheng Ye narrowed his eyes, his gaze penetrating the rain, staring intently at the slowly approaching vehicle.

What drove up was not the usual big Jinbei, but a new car he had never seen before.

The shape resembles a compressed Hummer, with a long and flat body. The tough lines outline a square box-like outline, and the metal body shines coldly under the light.

The car stopped in front of the isolation net, the passenger door popped open, and a big man leaned over and got out.

Dressed in the gray-blue uniform of the Cross Legion, with broad shoulders and a thick back like a grizzly bear standing up, he was estimated to be over two meters tall and had an extremely terrifying aura.

Even though Cheng Ye had been training hard recently and had developed a bit of ruthlessness, he still felt a little breathless when he saw the grizzly bear walking towards him in the puddles.

Damn, even if the genes of the wastelanders began to regress, how could such a monster be born?

Cheng Ye cursed in his heart, and his hand involuntarily fell on the Buffalo combat pistol at his waist.

Even if the infected bodies are created by the same source of infection, their strength will not be completely uniform.

The stronger the host, the more terrifying the mutated monster will be.

Those infected bodies that were able to leave their names in books were mostly powerful figures who roamed the wilderness in their previous lives. It has never been seen that an unknown little character could mutate into a bad star.

"Wait... the stronger this person is, doesn't that mean the skills I can find will be stronger?"

When Cheng Ye thought of the search skill, his anxiety suddenly dissipated a little, and he became a little excited.

There is no such fierce man in the isolation chamber.

If you encounter them in the wilderness, the opponent will not cooperate.

Only now, sitting in front of the inspection table, with the identity of inspector, he has the opportunity to "use the weak to search the strong."

As long as the opponent is not infected, the probability of him or her revealing good skills is not small.

The changes in Cheng Ye could be clearly seen by the owl standing beside him.

After realizing that the inspector was not afraid but excited, he became bolder for no reason.

Now that I'm an observer, I plan to give it my all and move up.

Compared with an old scoundrel like Li Matthew, it is obvious that only by following someone like Cheng Ye can one have the opportunity to make merit and move up!

If that’s the case, what are you afraid of?

"Stop!"

Cheng Ye picked up the loudspeaker, and his voice pierced through the rain like a whip and went straight towards the grizzly bear.

"I'm Wu Rui, the second-level captain of the Crusaders. I've already contacted the checkpoint. Please, inspector, please work overtime."

Grizzlies...Wu Rui introduced himself and stood obediently outside the cordon.

"It's okay to work overtime. It's only a little after eight o'clock now. I need to know why Captain Wu came back in such a hurry and didn't report it to the inner city."

"Something unexpected happened. One of my team members was injured by an infected body and needs to be sent to the inner city for treatment."

"What?"

The owl, who had been holding a gun in a guarded posture, was shocked. Could such a reason be given?

Listen, he was attacked by an infected body. If you don’t know, you would think he just fell on the road.

"I can vouch for him. He's not infected. Please, Inspector, show some leniency and give my brother a chance to live."

"You'll be surety?"

Cheng Ye tapped the table with his fingertips and shook his head gently. "Captain Wu, you should understand the rules of the checkpoint, right?"

"clear."

Wu Rui's throat rolled and his heart sank.

The reason why he, an Easterner, chose the North Station was that he didn't want to be harassed by Easterners using rules at the South Station.

Even if I come to North Station, I don’t mind being cheated by the inspectors here.

But no one expected that the quarantine gate A at the North Station would be staffed by people from the East.

Moreover, this young inspector is not as easy to deal with as he seems. He appears calm and reserved at this moment, more like a veteran who has been on duty at the checkpoint for many years.

"Save my brother's life. Everyone in the Akashou Squad owes the Inspector a life."

"Lift it up, let me see it."

Things have come to this point, it would be unacceptable not to check the injured.

While Cheng Ye pressed the isolation door button, he took off the Buffalo combat pistol from his waist and placed it on the table.

Just at this moment, Raven, who had gone to summon personnel, hurried over with ten guards on duty, and the atmosphere at the checkpoint instantly became tense.

"good!"

Wu Rui turned around and went to the armored vehicle.

The drizzle continued, and the raindrops hit my face, leaving wet marks.

The side door of the armored vehicle opened, and four soldiers in crusader uniforms quickly carried a wounded man out of the vehicle.

hiss.

Almost at the same time, everyone gasped.

The injured man's left leg was completely gone, severed at the hip, leaving behind a blood-stained bandage.

From the lower abdomen upwards, a hideous wound tore all the way to the shoulder, with the skin and flesh rolling outwards like a rag torn by sharp claws.

Can this be saved?

As if seeing Cheng Ye's confusion, Wu Rui explained again, "The inner city has special biological resuscitation technology. It's just an external injury, and the probability of survival is over 80%."

"Resuscitation technology?"

Cheng Ye secretly clicked his tongue. This was another term he couldn't find in his memory.

And what's strange is that even though he was injured so badly, the man on the stretcher could still look over with a smile.

"What is he doing?"

"The atavism gene brings a special gift. The pain sensory nerves are one tenth of those of ordinary people."

The one who answered was not Wu Rui, but the wounded man on the stretcher who was supposed to be on the verge of death.

This guy can actually speak on his own.

"Name?"

"Dai Zun."

"age?"

"29."

"If you can't explain how you got injured, Captain Wu can tell you."

"It's okay. I just feel like you guys just scraped your hands a little bit. The pain is long gone."

Dai Zun forced a smile on his pale face. "An infected organism had infiltrated the battery factory. It parasitized the workers and hid in the feed pipes. I got in and killed it."

So fierce?

Cheng Ye's eyelids twitched. Although he didn't know how thick the feed pipe was, it must be an enclosed space.

Without support, it's almost like going there with the determination to die.

"Everyone else, leave. I need to check the wound."

"quit."

Wu Rui looked at Cheng Ye deeply, waved to the back, and the seven people returned to the outside of the cordon.

The isolation gate slammed shut, and ten guards pointed their guns at Dai Zun on the stretcher almost at the same time.

"Damn, this Inspector Cheng is so brave."

It was discovered that Cheng Ye was wearing rubber gloves and was actually planning to have close contact with a high-risk suspected infected person.

Everyone gasped. They had never seen such a bold inspector.

Of course, Cheng Ye himself was a little nervous, but when he heard the words "special talent".

He immediately opened the panel, hesitated for only a second, and then gritted his teeth and decided:

Let’s fight!

At this moment, Wu Rui's cooperation degree on the collector panel stopped at 54%, and it was difficult to increase further. It was just enough to search for LV.1 skills.

But Dai Zun's cooperation rate was far ahead, reaching an unprecedented 94%!

This was the first time Cheng Ye had seen such a high level of cooperation.

"Level 2 skill... If I could find this talent that reduces pain, it would be incredibly powerful."

Maintaining one-tenth of the pain sensation all year round is not a good thing. The perception of external dangers will be greatly dulled, which may weaken combat effectiveness.

But... the skills are different!

As long as he obtains it, Cheng Ye can equip or uninstall it at any time, enjoying the injury resistance advantage brought by pain attenuation without having to bear the risk of perception failure.

"Brother, you have to cooperate with me completely from now on, otherwise I can't guarantee..."

Cheng Ye squatted down and pointed behind him.

In fact, he didn't need to hint, because more than ten shaking red dots on the ground were already aimed at the stretcher. As long as Dai Zun made any inappropriate move, he would definitely not escape the "physical exorcism".

"Tell me, you want to live too, right?"

"That's right. I don't want to die at the hands of an ordinary infected person. It would be so unfair."

Dai Zun's pale face was covered in sweat, and his Adam's apple rolled violently. "Whatever the prosecutor says, I will do and absolutely cooperate."

"Great, I like your attitude."

The coordination degree on the panel increased again, reaching 97%.

Cheng Ye was slightly delighted and picked up the instrument on the table to start measuring.

"Body temperature, 38.7"

"Heart rate, 144"

"Respiratory rate, 17"

Every time a set of data was read out, Wu Rui's expression, who was standing outside the door, became uglier.

When he approached the checkpoint, he already knew what had happened today and thought to himself that something was wrong.

According to the rules of the checkpoint, as long as there are two or more sets of abnormal data, the person must be put in an isolation chamber.

According to Dai Zun's current data, his body temperature is definitely above the standard, but his heart rate is stuck at around 140.

Although there is a 5% measurement tolerance, if Cheng Ye insists that this data is abnormal, Dai Zun will have only one outcome.

"A group of anomalies!"

call.

As soon as he finished speaking, a suppressed gasp was heard from outside the door.

At the same time, the number on the collector panel jumped again, reaching 98.9%.

There is only a fine line between us and 100% cooperation.

"You are very nervous. Although you block out the pain, I can feel your fear."

"Relax, I'm different from other inspectors. As long as you're not infected, I can guarantee you'll leave here alive!"

As Cheng Ye spoke, he opened the black box and took out the dual-modality vital sign detector and the decay light metabolism detector.

However, just as he was about to conduct the test, his hand movements suddenly stopped and a faint smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
