Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 758

Chapter 758: Chapter 252: Dabo Research Institute, Ghost Shadow Spider! (Part 2)

“Is the technology for this fiber suit insufficient?” Cheng Ye asked in a muffled voice, wearing his helmet.

“Far from enough.” Yu Erlan shook her head, “We’ve already decoded the key core information. Even if we acquire the complete finished product technology, its value can be converted to no more than twenty thousand Contribution Points.”

Twenty thousand compared to five hundred seventy thousand, indeed seems insignificant.

Cheng Ye pondered and then suddenly turned his head, smiling, “What if I extract valuable information through interrogation? How much would that be worth?”

“Purchased at the intelligence market price, with an additional Happiness City highest coefficient of 0.3 Contribution bonus.”

“Great!”

Cheng Ye immediately donned the fiber suit, “Open the door, I want a good chat with Researcher Yu about the construction plans for Dabo Town Institute.”

Cheng Ye’s confidence seemed to infect Yu Erlan unexpectedly.

She paused, then for the first time, a genuine smile blossomed on her face, like plum blossoms quietly blooming in the cold winter, stunningly beautiful, leaving Cheng Ye momentarily dazed.

But before he could continue appreciating.

Whoosh.

The heavy door made of Happiness Alloy slowly opened.

Inside the room, Yu Yong did not attempt to escape, because the inside of the door was shrouded in a layer of radiant light.

This light greatly restrained the Ghost Shadow Spider on him. Any slight contact would bring unbearable pain worse than death.

“I’m going in. Close the door once I’m inside!”

Cheng Ye lowered his head to check his equipment, confirming that after donning this protective armor, he was completely shadowless.

Coupled with the fiber suit’s pollution isolation effect, Yu Yong inside the containment room had no means to parasitically infect him.

With one step inside the containment room, a sour stench hit him, more unpleasant than the Undetermined Fox’s room.

The alloy door behind him closed slowly, Cheng Ye glanced back, then strode purposefully towards Yu Yong.

Yu Yong stood with his arms crossed, indifferent, seemingly observing what tricks Cheng Ye could pull.

Yet unexpectedly…

Boom!

Cheng Ye took two steps, suddenly accelerated fiercely, a swift left jab shot out from under his ribs, directly impacting Yu Yong’s face!

Extraordinary strength erupted instantly, Yu Yong’s face was violently twisted to one side, his head spun 720 degrees on his neck, returning to face Cheng Ye in an extremely bizarre posture.

His expression twitched, but his mouth was full of disdain: “Only know how to use violence? Typical simple-minded Inspector!”

Satisfied!

Cheng Ye felt a little pleased, finally finding a human-shaped target to test the stats enhanced from being “tortured” by the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse.

He slammed his left foot on the ground again, his body shot out like a cannonball, right knee with roaring wind slammed hard into Yu Yong’s belly.

Even though Yu Yong didn’t plan to actively resist, his body’s instinctive defense still acted, he raised his hand to block but was shaken by the tremendous force into continuous retreat.

Cheng Ye pressed down, his elbow with a mighty force smashed into Yu Yong’s shoulder blade, a crisp “crack” sound echoed, the bone breaking noise clear to hear!

Yu Yong let out a muffled groan, strangely, his previously twisted neck began to slowly reset, a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

Being suppressed by the room’s light, he couldn’t activate any Extraordinary abilities, only relying on the base physical condition brought by the Mother Source.

But this physical condition was evidently insufficient before Cheng Ye.

“Come on, vent your anger! I love seeing you wretched worms fuming impotently!”

“Tough talk.”

Cheng Ye sneered, swiftly clutching Yu Yong’s wrist, right hand formed a palm, slicing forcefully onto his elbow joint.

Another crisp bone fracture sound, Yu Yong’s arm hung limply.

Before he could react, Cheng Ye shifted his footwork, instantly moving behind Yu Yong, arms like iron clamps locking his waist and abdomen, waist exerting force, lifting him high overhead and then slamming him to the ground!

With a deafening “boom,” the alloy floor hummed loudly, rattling the eardrums.

Cheng Ye didn’t stop, leaned forward, fists pounding rhythmically onto Yu Yong’s limb joints, crisp bone-breaking sounds ringing out.

“Feels great! Absolutely great!”

He felt immensely satisfied, “My strength increased at least threefold, even without activating the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse’s ability, it’s a qualitative leap!”

He carefully felt the changes in his body; such a direct test of strength on a human-shaped target was rare outside.

Moreover, during the continuous full-force assault, he could sharply sense the previously lost control over power gradually restoring.

Until a certain moment, Cheng Ye suddenly got up, lifting Yu Yong again, and like a bull charge slammed him onto the light-covered wall!

Sizzle!

Like splashed water into hot oil, a distinct sound of burning and melting rang out.

During the previous rabid attacks, Yu Yong could forcefully maintain composure, but when scorched by this light, he erupted into anguished howls.

Accurately said, it was the parasitic Ghost Shadow Spider in him, unable to bear such suppressive pain.

A wisp of black light seeped from Yu Yong, a panel promptly popped up messages.

But before Cheng Ye could check the details, a sharp spider leg extended from Yu Yong’s back, tapping swiftly on his chest!

Boom!

An unimaginable force suddenly came, blasting Cheng Ye backward, crashing heavily onto the metal table meters away.

Luckily, protected by the alloy battle armor, he only grunted, swiftly flipping back up, eyes flickering with a hint of gleefulness:

“Indeed able to collect characteristics from these Extraordinary Mother Sources!”

Cheng Ye rejoiced.

The core function of the catalog could collect scattered biological information and convert them into redeemable characteristics.

Since Yu Erlan also said, Yu Yong himself was a pushover, it meant a breakthrough could be found from him without pursuing other complex interrogation methods.

Of course, this premise is finding a way to suppress the Ghost Shadow Spider in him, at least enabling them to temporarily separate.

“Inspector Cheng, we won’t interfere with your methods, but he must not die for now.”

Yu Erlan’s voice came from the top of the room, “The screen will display his vital signs in real-time; as long as it remains above 40%.”

Following the voice, Cheng Ye glanced and saw the current value was 94%, still far from 40%.

Could it be, excessive damage to the Mother Source might cause Yu Yong’s death?

Cheng Ye nodded, covertly opening the panel.

It’s quite coincidental, his first containment of an infection source was spider-related, now encountering yet another spider-related anti-state infection source.

Swiping the panel to the second page, the Ghost Shadow Spider information in red appeared within the query range:

[Ghost Shadow Spider (Parasitic Extraordinary Talent)]
