Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 618
Chapter 618: Chapter 215: Destruction Level Source of Infection, The Miserable Garcia!
“Damn… really damn it!”
The sun had climbed high, the sunlight on the armor radiated waves of scorching heat.
Garcia clutched the alloy railing at the riverbank tightly, his knuckles already turning a terrifying shade of black, his consciousness flickering in and out.
He had never felt so desperate, so… helpless.
Reflecting on his luck, since offending Cheng Ye, it has been like misfortune was haunting him; declining steadily, one bad event after another.
The White Water River below shimmered with waves, occasionally a large fish would break the surface, splashing water; it seemed much calmer than at night.
But he didn’t dare gamble, didn’t dare dive in to check if the bodies of his team members were still there, didn’t dare confirm if those Ghost Water Cave Crab infected bodies were still lurking nearby, and certainly didn’t dare recall the fleeting glimpse in the depths last night.
Those eyes, as large as a pickup truck, were staring right at him, as if they would drag him into the abyss in the next moment.
Compared to those eyes, the scene of his team members all becoming infected and turning into monsters seemed less terrifying.
“Ah, I’m dying of thirst!”
The sunlight pierced through the clouds, becoming glaring once again.
Garcia felt as if there was a lump of fire in his throat, dry to the point of pain.
He instinctively touched his neck, where the green lines were becoming clearer, winding like bulging veins.
A strong thirst surged from the depths of his heart, as though he had swallowed a pound of salt, every cell in his body clamoring for water.
The river was right in front of him, so clear he could see the fish swimming in it, yet he didn’t dare lean down, didn’t dare reach out to drink.
Because the benign infection source ‘Thousand Vine’ still had a way to be removed, but if he became parasitized by a new infection source, he would truly be close to death.
“Luo… Luokuke! You damn Third-Phase, how are you not here to save me yet!”
“Luo… you couldn’t have already died, right? Don’t die before me!”
“Luo… Inspector! I’m begging you, save me! I don’t want to die yet! I’m still young, I haven’t reached Third-Phase, I still…”
Chaos flooded his mind, Garcia’s consciousness grew increasingly fuzzy, his right hand suddenly loosened.
Splash.
His whole body slid backward, his head almost touching the icy water surface.
Luckily, he had already used vines pulled from the riverbed to tie his left hand tightly to the railing, preventing him from fully falling.
Still, a few strands of hair got wet by the river water.
This slight coolness jolted Garcia awake, his mind suddenly clear; the “Thousand Vine” on his neck was stimulated by the fresh water, the green lines bulged aggressively, seemingly about to burst, and they began to stretch towards the river’s surface.

He desperately wanted to struggle up, but his left hand was numb from being tied with the vine, unable to exert any strength.
Coupled with the heavy battle armor, he could only lie flat on the water like a plank, his limbs twitching uncontrollably.
“I… I’m not really going to die here, am I?”
“No! I refuse! I refuse to die in Dapo Town, to die nameless and without distinction!”
“Someone save me, someone… Calvin, I promise you, I promise you everything you want, come save me, come save me…”
A strong will to survive surged within, blood rushed to his head, Garcia struggled even harder.
At this moment, all notions of rank, the dignity of being an Inspector, grievances with Cheng Ye, were cast far away; only the primal instinct to survive remained.
To the extent that he began to babble incoherently, sometimes cursing, sometimes pleading:
“Cheng… Cheng dog, aren’t you capable? Come save me!”
“Cheng dog! Aren’t you from the Cheng Family? Aren’t you formidable? Come save me!”
“Inspector Cheng! Inspector Cheng, I was wrong! I beg you, beg you for my life!”
“I don’t want to die… I really don’t want to die!”
…
“What’s he doing?”
Cheng Ye released the brake on the jet ski, his gaze fixed far ahead at Garcia on the water.
Though he knew laughing now wasn’t exactly ethical, Garcia’s current appearance truly resembled a mouse stuck on a glue trap; the more he struggled, the more his body slipped towards the water surface, unable to get free.
“Maybe it’s a bit of a cramp?”
Luokuke also stopped the jet ski, his tone tinged with amusement, “We were almost scared to death by the infection source last night, but him, could he have been lying here all night?”
Looking at Garcia’s posture, it indeed seemed like he was “lying flat” on the water surface, but the unstoppable twitching and spasms didn’t resemble someone who slept peacefully through the night.
Understanding that Luokuke was showing his stance, deliberately lowering his posture, following his lead, completely presenting a “following orders” attitude.
Cheng Ye looked over a few times, couldn’t help but chuckle, “Let’s go, Garcia Inspector must have been scared to death.”
Leaving Wang Kang alone in town to soothe the residents and maintain the competitive order between the Red and Blue Zone, he was somewhat uneasy.
But as long as Garcia, this Second-Phase Inspector, could hold up, with his help keeping an eye on the town, the two could explore the infection source underwater without any concerns.
The jet ski sped over noisily, but Garcia seemed not to hear, still occupied with struggling.
As they got closer, Cheng Ye could see Garcia’s neck veins had burst open, several green vines emerged from beneath his skin, striving to stretch into the water, evidently the infection source at work.
“It’s Thousand Vine!”
Luokuke recognized it immediately, “Level C benign infection source, no wonder he survived with such a good item at hand.”
