Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 740

Chapter 740: Chapter 247: The Grand Dome, a Special Extraordinary Mother Source!

With Cheng Ye’s modifications in hand, Lin Xu hurried off. Judging by his pace, he might have to work overnight to adjust the plans.

Cheng Ye himself didn’t expect that the engineering “master” he planned to find at great expense in the Buffer Zone’s Public Works Bureau would come to him voluntarily. Moreover, it turned out to be Wang Kang’s “stepfather.” This coincidence was indeed quite unbelievable.

However, as his status and power increased, the difficulty of recruiting talent indeed significantly decreased.

People like Lin Xu, whom he hadn’t even actively recruited, came with their teams willingly, eager to leave the safe Inner City for the Satellite City.

Of course, there was the connection with Wang Kang and Su Xiu, but more likely, Lin Xu smelled an opportunity to “rise with the tide” from the construction of the Satellite City, even if it meant giving up the rare happiness in the eyes of outsiders.

But what about all those engineers under him? There are 12 of them, probably representing 12 families.

“It’s hard to say. People are breaking their necks to get in, while those inside are rushing to get out.”

“Those who can bring out 1000 Contribution Points to enter the Inner City are capable people, aside from the few lucky ones. It’s only natural for them to seize opportunities when they arise.”

Thinking of this, Cheng Ye felt increasingly emotional.

That night, because his room was occupied, Cheng Ye had to squeeze onto a small bed with Wang Kang, sleeping rather uncomfortably, nowhere near as comfortable as the Rebirth Medical rooms.

“In the future, Dapo Town must have a large hotel, not just small hostels,”

He calculated privately, “Once the waterways open, there will surely be passing travelers, both earning money and promoting Dapo Town.”

At dawn, Cheng Ye got up to wash up and left the community alone.

Today is Saturday; all major agencies in the Inner City are on holiday, strictly observing a two-day weekend system.

There weren’t many pedestrians, only a few sanitation workers in yellow reflective uniforms chatting on the sidewalk, who greeted him warmly as he passed by.

Here, there’s no distinction between high and low work. After all, the Civil Affairs Bureau has the essentials covered, and without the pressure of livelihood and safety, there’s more goodwill among people.

There are also no buses or private cars in the Inner City. The space is small, and public transportation would disrupt this peace.

If anyone had a bicycle, they’d be jokingly called a “big shot,” becoming the talk of colleagues.

Cheng Ye wanted to browse the street shops, but they were closed for Saturday, with signs reading “Open at 2 PM” at the entrance, taking relaxation to the extreme.

“Well, in this environment, if someone can be vigilant, that would truly be impressive.”

Cheng Ye withdrew his gaze and turned towards the Inner City’s only school.

In the future, Dapo Town will definitely need to establish schools to cultivate talent. Although the cycle is long, once the first cycle is overcome, a talent boom is inevitable.

Following the familiar path, the school was also on holiday today, resembling a modern high school somewhat.

Two guards stood at the entrance. Seeing his tall stature and unusual demeanor, they didn’t step forward to dissuade him, allowing him to wander in, measuring Happiness City’s only place for talent cultivation with his footsteps.

Three teaching buildings, a large playground, an experimental building—the setup wasn’t luxurious. Those responsible for education also likely knew that full hardware doesn’t guarantee good outcomes.

When the sky fully brightened, estimating it was around eight o’clock, Cheng Ye left the school and headed towards the research institute.

He wasn’t unfamiliar with this route. The former him had visited the research institute several times, though only to the outskirts, but he remembered the route clearly.

After passing seven or eight blocks, reaching the main road, and then turning onto “Research Avenue” leading to the east end, Cheng Ye soon saw the guard booth for identity verification.

Upon entering this area, Cheng Ye noticed that his face cloak automatically deactivated, revealing his original appearance.

Cheng Ye thought for a moment and handed over his Inspector badge. After scanning it, the guard’s tone and attitude immediately became respectful: “Inspector Cheng, please wait a moment. Group Leader Shi will come to escort you into the research institute.”

“Inspector Cheng, please wait a moment. Group Leader Shi will personally come to escort you into the research institute.”

“Alright.”

Cheng Ye took back the badge and leaned against the guard booth door, waiting.

There must be many secrets inside the research institute, so outsiders can’t be allowed to wander around freely.

However, just as he was waiting, two small refrigerated trucks suddenly approached from the road in the distance.

Cheng Ye accidentally made eye contact with the person in the passenger seat and was stunned for a moment, not expecting it to be Qin Feng!

The truck stopped fifty meters from the checkpoint, and Qin Feng got out, followed by someone in a researcher’s uniform. The two walked towards the entrance one after the other.

“Researcher Qin!” Cheng Ye took the initiative to step forward and greet him.

“Inspector Cheng? What are you doing here?” Qin Feng stopped and was full of surprise.

It wasn’t uncommon for an Inspector to enter the Inner City, but how did an Intern Inspector end up here?

Seeing Qin Feng’s completely clueless expression, Cheng Ye immediately understood. It seemed the issue regarding “Immortal Objects” hadn’t involved Qin Feng after all.

“Oh, I’m here to handle some matters and took the opportunity to meet a friend at the research institute.”

“A friend?” The researcher behind Qin Feng suddenly chuckled, “Inspector Cheng, why have I never heard that you have friends at the research institute?”

“And this is?” Cheng Ye frowned and asked.

“He’s Lv Jian, a Level 1 researcher at the research institute, and also a member of my group. He’ll be joining the checkpoint’s research team next,” Qin Feng explained.

“I see. Researcher Lv, hello.” Upon hearing it was one of his own, Cheng Ye’s tense brow relaxed, and he nodded proactively.

“Hello.” Lv Jian responded verbally, but he also extended his hand, and the two shook hands lightly.
