Wasteland Border Inspector

Transmigrating to a wasteland ravaged by infected creatures and constant natural disasters, Cheng Ye became the border inspector of Happiness City. Every survivor wishing to join Happiness City must u...

"Although bloodthirsty rats have become a disaster in surrounding provinces and cities, due to climate and terrain restrictions, they rarely sneak into our Shi Province. Even if there are some, they can't survive the cold winter."

"This thing's individual combat power is extremely weak. One-on-one, it can't even defeat the Ant Wolf."

"The real threat lies in the 'blood plague' pathogen it carries, a special supernatural curse!"

As the source of infection is known, it is not Qin Feng's turn to take action. Only the cleanup team of the checkpoint is needed.

But Qin Feng was still quite shocked when he heard that there were four sources of bloodthirsty rat infection, and rushed over to check the situation.

"Extraordinary curse, doesn't that mean that if you're attacked, you'll be infected?"

Cheng Ye was startled and asked quickly.

Information about blood-sucking rats is only mentioned in the inspector's manual, and the infection channels are not described in detail.

If you get attacked by surprise, you will turn into a rat monster, which is no less dangerous than the substitute starfish.

"That's not the case. Not all extraordinary curses are so powerful."

Qin Feng shook his head and laughed, "Although the blood-thirsty rats spread the blood-thirsty plague by biting their prey, as long as humans are not weak or sick, their immunity can completely kill the curse that enters their bodies."

“There’s only one way to get infected.”

He paused, his tone serious, "After the infected mutant beasts kill each other, if scavengers accidentally pick up their flesh and eat it, the human immune system will be ineffective, and they will be infected with the curse!"

"Is that so?"

Cheng Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

The infection conditions are too harsh, and most people are not brave enough to pick up the flesh and blood of dead mutant beasts for consumption.

"I've taken the source of infection away. There's no need to verify this common type. I'll give you the contribution points right here."

“How many points does one count?”

"Not much, 5 points each. But since you found them while on duty, you can get the 30% checkpoint subsidy. I'll charge you 7 points each."

Hearing that the bloodthirsty rats were only worth 5 points, Cheng Ye couldn't help but feel disappointed. The four of them combined were not even worth the contribution point reward of a deathrattle tentacle.

However, he forgot that there are subsidies for the quick station. As long as he finds the infected body through inspection during his work, he can get an additional 30% reward.

30% of 5 points is 1.5 points, but Qin Feng is willing to count it as 2 points.

"Thank you."

Cheng Ye nodded in thanks, saying that he was short of money right now.

Qin Feng waved his hand, glancing at the tattered cloth sticking out from Cheng Ye's calf. "This is all paid for by your checkpoint. Why thank me? You deserve it. I've been on duty for three years, and this is the first time I've seen a trainee inspector catch an infected person like you do every other day."

"If you have money, go buy some equipment. If something breaks out like this, you'll be on your own."

The reference is naturally to the substitute starfish.

The inspectors knew that the research institute that was working on the elimination method had obviously informed all researchers about this matter long ago.

"This is because the isolation wards are full. I have no choice but to conduct an investigation."

"Tsk tsk, no need to explain to me, I'm just a member of the cleanup team. I have to call you sir while I'm on duty."

Qin Feng seems to have great authority.

After receiving the badge from Cheng Ye, I was able to complete the salary payment without going through Xingfu Bank.

A total of 28 contribution points were credited to his account, which immediately made Cheng Ye's dry wallet swell up.

"Cool!"

Today is really a day to make money. After watching Qin Feng leave, Cheng Ye happily returned to the interrogation scene.

The Flying Bird Caravan has 34 points, the Bloodthirsty Rat has 28 points, and the total is 62 points.

Including the 60 points settled by the rotten vines, it is almost reaching the maximum reimbursement standard of 150 points.

"Since Lewis is an infected body, don't worry, he will not be counted among the places to leave."

"continue."

Nick was quite frightened, but gradually recovered after this delay.

The person who confronted him was the one who had previously exposed Lewis's flaws.

The two men pointed fingers at each other but neither could find anything against the other. The 37 people around them pricked up their ears and listened carefully. Although they wanted to find some loopholes, there was really no trace and they had to give up.

"Alright, you two have passed. Go pack up and get ready to go home."

Cheng Ye smiled and led the applause. The owl and the raven looked at each other and immediately followed the rhythm.

The guards around them also smiled, and their applause became louder and louder, making the two of them look like heroes returning.

Pretty impressive?

Walking out of the isolation cage, the bright sunshine shines on my body, making me feel warm.

The resentment in the two men's hearts disappeared for no reason, and they turned to Cheng Ye at the same time and bowed deeply.

"You are a great prosecutor."

"May God bless you!"

After the words fell, the two left the scene under the guidance of the staff, with a look of relief in their backs.

He immediately received envious looks from the other 37 people, wishing he could replace him immediately.

"continue!"

The first one in a group died.

The last one in group two and the third one in group three left.

The next match was between the second in group one and the second to last in group two. The two walked into the isolation cage to start a debate.

With the precedent set, the people in the surrounding cages became more focused and picked on the problem crazily.

But unfortunately, as long as the human beings are not polluted, alienation will not occur even if the words are occasionally contradictory.

After a heated debate, the second group was defeated because they could not justify their arguments.

The victorious second-in-command walked out of the isolation cage with his head held high, like a victorious general.

"Wonderful!"

Cheng Ye applauded, and everyone followed suit.

Even the other people in the isolation cage gave a round of applause.

The more than 200 people in the isolation chamber who were waiting to hear the gunshots were suddenly disappointed, and angry curses rang out one after another.

But after cursing for a while, many people secretly regretted it in their hearts, fearing that others would hear and report them.

They secretly hoped that their names would be on the list of the next batch of people to be released by Cheng Ye.

"This Inspector Cheng is truly professional and worthy of being the inspector of our Happiness City!"

Someone murmured something, drawing silent agreement.

After all, when Cheng Ye first entered the isolation warehouse, he led the team to accurately identify three infected people without saying a word.

Everything from discovery to resolution was done in one go. The battle was over before many people could react, and there was no accidental injury throughout the process.

Compared with yesterday's "half-baked", the gap is too obvious.

Wave after wave of screening continues.

At twelve o'clock noon, as the number of people leaving gradually decreased, another infected person was picked out by the sharp eyes of the "masses".

Da da da.

The dense gunfire broke the silence, causing people in the isolation ward who were used to hearing applause to burst into cheers.

Many people were clinging to the railings, with an intoxicated look on their faces.

After all, compared to the damn applause, the gunshot made them feel that being locked up here made sense.

However, what surprised Cheng Ye was...

It would have been fine if the people in the isolation chamber were cheering, but the person who was locked in the same cage and confronting the infected body was also jumping and dancing in ecstasy.

Even the people in the other four cages were a little excited, with relieved smiles on their faces!

Someone died and a vacancy opened up. Doesn't that mean they have a chance to leave?

The cleanup team rushed over.

This time it was no longer Qin Feng, but the cleaning team of the North Checkpoint.

As expected, he continued with his usual simple style, carrying a shovel and holding an iron hook, and walked over carelessly.

It was not until he saw Cheng Ye that the captain restrained his casual attitude and showed a hint of respect.

"Inspector Cheng, we are the cleanup team responsible for the containment of Areas A and B."

"Erlin Wallace." He introduced himself, rubbed his rough palms on his uniform, and then shook hands with Cheng Ye.

"Captain Wallace, do you know the source of this infection?"

The infected person who was caught died from: a landlubber trying to pretend to be a water monkey.

Although he clearly couldn't swim, he insisted that he swam here from Linjiang. When someone tested his swimming style on the spot, he was seen doing a funny doggy paddling on the ground.

As a result, after digging twice, it started to spit out tongues from its mouth and its body twitched wildly, just like a water snake with its seven inches pinched by someone.

"Hidden Ice Snake, a special source of infection hidden in the water."

Wallace recognized the source of infection at a glance, his tone filled with regret. "This infection requires trauma to spread. It has an extremely long incubation period, and its lethality and infectiousness are pitifully weak. If we could have discovered it earlier and realized it earlier, we would have plenty of ways to treat it in our buffer zone."

"Can it still be treated?"

"Of course we can. If we come into contact with any source of infection, we will die. We humans would have been extinct long ago!"

Before Wallace finished speaking, the cleaning team had stepped into the cage and pulled out a small ice-blue snake from the belly button of the infected body.

It is about the length of a forearm, its scales gleam coldly in the sunlight, and its body is as slippery as a "water baby".

"This shouldn't be valuable, right?" Cheng Ye asked tentatively.

The infected bodies that can be treated should be the worst ones.

"My lord, you are wrong."

Wallace chuckled. "These types of infected bodies are the real hot commodity. Think about it, the infection can grant humans superpowers. To decipher these abilities, we must start with those that are not immediately fatal and can be cured."

"This Hidden Ice Snake is worth at least this much."

"How many?"

Seeing Wallace showing a palm, Cheng Ye guessed:

"Five?"

"It starts at 50, and this one is in great condition, maybe you can even add a little more!"

ah!

How many? !

50?

Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment, and his eyes looked at the ice-blue snake with more heat.

It turns out that contribution points from quick checkpoints are so easy to earn?

No wonder no one is willing to go to the safer central checkpoint. The risk gap between the two sides is far less obvious than the benefit gap.

What central checkpoint, what debt, I'm really unfamiliar with!

How many days has he been at the rapid checkpoint?

The first day from morning to night was counted as two days, so in total I was on duty for only three working days.

"62 points, plus these 50 points, and the rotten vines will give me another 60 points."

"172 points, is this... is this enough?"
