Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 746

Chapter 746: Chapter 248: Source Rail Conundrum, the Legend of the Research Institute!_4

The previous research on “Crystal Algae” followed a strategy of active induction, but unfortunately, it ultimately failed to overcome the technical bottleneck.

Now the Green Treasure Worm cannot be actively induced, and it is difficult to obtain accurate data through observation simulation, which is equivalent to falling into a research dead end, making even basic exploration challenging.

“I wonder if the Life Dance Rune inside the Mianfu that allows the Fishman transformation can prompt the Crystal Algae to evolve…”

A thought suddenly popped into Cheng Ye’s mind, and he instantly fell into contemplation.

Seeing Cheng Ye lost in thought, the others in the research room sensibly refrained from interrupting.

It wasn’t until half a minute later that Cheng Ye snapped out of it, quickly waving his hand to apologize: “Sorry, I just thought of something that disturbed everyone’s work. I’ll sort out my thoughts first and then discuss them with you.”

Jenkins was first taken aback, then quickly reacted, hurriedly seeing Cheng Ye and Shi Xu to the laboratory door, politely saying, “Inspector Cheng, take care. You are welcome to guide our research work anytime.”

“So, Inspector Cheng, did you have a discovery?” Shi Xu asked curiously.

“Hmm…” Cheng Ye first shook his head lightly, then nodded, and slowly said, “I found that we currently lack an ‘intermediary’ that can visually study the changes in the source of infection. If the source of infection is not lethal and has a repulsive characteristic, perhaps we can monitor the changes in infected organisms through active biological infection, thereby analyzing the capability source of the infection. But for a source like the Green Treasure Worm, once it erupts in the human body, it causes instant death, making it extremely difficult to analyze its abilities.”

“This ‘intermediary’ is the key to breaking through the research bottleneck, and its existence might not be in the conventional form of an instrument.”

As his words fell.

Shi Xu’s expression visibly changed, looking over in astonishment.

But he hadn’t had the chance to ask in detail when his Defense Communication device suddenly vibrated at his waist.

He raised his hand to check it and quickly looked up to Cheng Ye, saying: “Inspector Cheng, your report application for close observation of the culture medium has been approved.”

“Good, then let’s go.”

Cheng Ye immediately started walking. To reach the underground space where the culture medium was stored, it was necessary to take the dedicated vertical elevator.

The two stood inside the dedicated vertical elevator. After Shi Xu swiped the card for verification, he pressed the button for sub-level two.

The elevator started moving slowly, beginning the vertical descent. Shi Xu opened his mouth a few times, seemingly wanting to inquire further about Cheng Ye’s specific ideas about the “intermediary,” but swallowed the words each time, ultimately just watching the changing floor numbers in silence.

It wasn’t until the elevator passed sub-level one that he finally couldn’t contain himself and gently probed, “Inspector Cheng, can you remember the specific form of the ‘intermediary’?”

“I can’t remember it, I forget as soon as I turn my head,” Cheng Ye admitted frankly.

“Oh.” A look of realization appeared on Shi Xu’s face, followed by an evident sense of disappointment.

He proactively explained, “This is my research direction, but unfortunately, there has been no progress over the years. The value of the Immortal Objects also lies in these intermediaries you mentioned, but unfortunately… we cannot analyze them and can only hand the Immortal Objects over to Firewood Shelter City in exchange for ready-made technology.”

Ding—

A crisp chime sounded; they had reached sub-level two.

Unexpectedly, the lighting here was so bright it was nearly glaring, unlike the dimness one would expect in an underground space, almost comparable to the lighting in the aboveground areas.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and Shi Xu was just about to step out when his gaze suddenly froze.

Standing at the elevator entrance was a tall woman with a cool temperament.

“Director Yu.” Shi Xu quickly collected himself, greeting respectfully.

“Mm, you go back to handle your work first. I’ll take Inspector Cheng for a tour of the underground section next.” Yu Erlan’s voice, like her demeanor, carried an undeniable authority within its coolness.

“Yes!” Shi Xu was secretly startled but didn’t dare ask more questions, promptly returning to the elevator and pressing the button for sub-level one.

Just before the elevator doors closed, Cheng Ye slightly lowered his head, but his gaze remained on Yu Erlan.

Not conventionally beautiful, her features weren’t impeccably refined, yet she possessed an aura of calm that was hard to look away from.

Her brows were like distant mountains dipped in ink, naturally arched without appearing purposefully sharp, yet a touch of unnoticeable boldness was hidden in the brow arch.

Her eyes were standard almond-shaped, with slightly upturned corners, tinged with natural allure. However, the cool demeanor balanced it, causing her to appear dignified and aloof, making it hard for others to entertain any frivolous thoughts.

The bridge of her nose was high and elegantly shaped, with a tip small and rounded, softening the sharpness of her features.

Her lips were full and delicate, naturally pink in color. When not smiling, her lips were tightly drawn, exuding a hint of cold aloofness.

Even in a uniform indistinguishable from a regular researcher’s, the elegant purple hair with a gentle sheen made Cheng Ye unconsciously somewhat entranced.

But he wasn’t drawn in by her appearance; instead, the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse within him suddenly became restless. This emotion transmitted to his mind carried an unmistakable… fear?

“Is it attractive?” A cool voice suddenly sounded in his ear, interrupting Cheng Ye’s thoughts.

Cheng Ye snapped back to reality, instinctively nodding, then quickly responded politely: “Director Yu possesses exceptional poise, truly living up to her reputation, it’s an honor to finally meet you!”
