Wasteland Border Inspector

Chapter 116 Crazy Harvest: The Prosecutor's Four-Piece Set!
The night breeze, carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees, brushed against my cheeks, cool yet comforting.

Upon stepping back into the land of the Flame, Cheng Ye's mind was filled with information about the Flame and the new province, unfolding one by one like pages of a book being turned by the wind.

The new province, where the torch of civilization has taken root, was the largest province in the East during the old era.

At the dawn of the new era, amidst the global historical blockades and territorial redrawings, its territory continued to expand like a sponge, eventually settling at nearly two million square kilometers, thanks to the existence of the torch.

The reason for this exaggerated change is not due to the active expansion of Xinhuo, but because the two adjacent plots of land in the new province are both orange-red sealed-off plots!

Its memory contains a considerable number of supernatural, earthbound spirits, which are mysterious and unpredictable.

The relatively safe areas of these two plots of land were all incorporated into the new province, which led to the current situation.

"Xiao Xu, I'll take Inspector Cheng to the checkpoint for a look around. I'd like to borrow your Flying Wing Assault Unit."

Li Changfeng called out.

Xiao Xu immediately responded and turned to unlock the wing device parked by the roadside.

With a snap, the black wings unfolded. From the sky, it didn't seem like much, but at that moment, the wingspan reached nearly four meters.

"Prosecutor Li, this... I don't know how to use it."

Although Cheng Ye was somewhat envious, he was still a little apprehensive about riding something that would take him to the sky.

If it flies too high and crashes, the only way to save your life is to use the starfish in mid-air, which is a huge loss.

"Don't worry, this thing is also very user-friendly, meaning it's very easy to operate."

Li Changfeng patted the side of the flying wing, making a dull metallic sound. "Meeting is fate. Maybe I'll go to Happiness City on official business someday. It's too formal for us to keep calling each other 'inspector.' How about you call me Changfeng and I'll call you Cheng Ye?"

"Okay!"

Cheng Ye nodded happily, but was secretly pleased. As soon as this relationship was strengthened, Li Changfeng's cooperation rate on the panel jumped and stopped steadily at 31%, just enough to cross the threshold of item search.

However, Cheng Ye did not rush to search.

Experience told him that without the presence of an inspector, the success rate was not high.

Moreover, searching for items is not like intelligence gathering, where every shot counts.

Currently, each search consumes 50% of the energy, and even if fully charged, he only has two attempts.

It's best to accumulate more cooperation, which might increase the implicit success rate.

"Come, step onto this platform!"

Following Li Changfeng's instructions, Cheng Ye stood on the winged assault unit, which was indeed no different from a balance scooter, except for an extra layer of safety protection.

The moment he stepped on it, he felt an extremely strong suction force beneath his feet.

Even when Cheng Ye deliberately lifted his foot, the suction force still held him tightly, its strength was ridiculously great.

"A reaction at energy level 35, not bad."

Li Changfeng glanced at the display screen on the front of the assault unit. "This is automatically detected based on the user's strength. The greater the strength, the stronger the suction force, ensuring that the user won't fall from a great height."

"How much are you?" Cheng Ye asked curiously.

"I'm about the same age as you, 62."

Li Changfeng spoke of it casually.

Good guy.

Cheng Ye's lips twitched. This is almost double, and you call it almost?
Li Changfeng noticed his confusion, waved his hand and laughed, "I'm 31 this year, how old are you? When I was your age, I probably couldn't even reach the energy level of 15."

"Uh"

Cheng Ye gave an awkward smile, having completely forgotten about his age.

Indeed, since his transmigration, his competitors have always been the middle-aged and older members of the group, with very few peers.

For someone like Wang Kang, an energy level reaction of around 10 would be considered quite good.

"Alright, since this is your first time using it, it's safer to keep the lever on."

Li Changfeng pressed the front of the unit, and a silver-gray control lever popped out with a "click," automatically extending to a height that Cheng Ye could reach with his hand. "It's very easy to control the direction. When you tilt your body forward, backward, left, or right, it will turn accordingly."

He then pulled Cheng Ye's hand and placed it on the control lever: "Use this to adjust the height. Push it forward to descend, and pull it back to ascend. Don't worry, this thing has automatic obstacle avoidance. Even if you close your eyes and try to crash into a wall, it will veer away on its own."

"Come and try?"

It sounds simple, but Cheng Ye still felt a little nervous when he actually tried it.

He gripped the control lever and gently pulled it back, and the flying wing suddenly emitted a slight hum.

The energy ring at the bottom instantly lit up with a pale purple light, and the entire unit "whooshed" into the air.

"Don't be afraid, it's only two meters off the ground, pull it a little wider." Li Changfeng's voice rang out from below, tinged with laughter.

Cheng Ye looked down and saw that it was indeed not far from the ground, hovering steadily without even a sway.

He mustered his courage and pulled back with all his might. The mechanical wings on both sides suddenly accelerated and flapped, bringing up a gust of wind. The entire unit "boomed" up from the ground and rushed to a height of more than 20 meters in the blink of an eye!

"Holy crap, that's incredible?"

Cheng Ye gasped in surprise at the explosive force, his cheeks tingling from the strong wind.

He subconsciously looked around, but the sight in his field of vision made him instantly forget his discomfort.

The street beneath his feet shrank into a chessboard, the busy crowd in front of the fog cave became moving black dots, and the buildings that he had to look up at just a moment ago were now at eye level.

Further away, the entire view of Zone B4 of the City of Fire's Sanctuary unfolds.

Low-rise bungalows cluster around tall buildings like building blocks, and streetlights, like sparks, meander along the streets.

Even late at night, the clean and tidy asphalt road still has several light strips formed by converging traffic flowing slowly in the darkness.

This is not the dilapidated scene of the Happy City buffer zone, bearing the mark of the millennium.

There are no peeling walls or broken windows covered with sheet metal here.

There are no tenement buildings, and no dilapidated shantytowns.

The buildings here are new, the windows are bright, and some buildings even have flowing light and shadow advertisements projected on their walls, with people laughing and talking in the pictures, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

It's like... I really traveled back in time.

I returned to that modern city, a place full of life, where I felt safe and didn't have to worry at night.

Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment, and his eyes even felt a little hot.

Of course, I wasn't moved by the scene.

The ascent was too rapid, and the wind made my eyes sting. I dared not close them, so I could only endure the pain.

"It's like this every time you fly for the first time; the wind makes your eyes water."

Li Changfeng also caught up in his flying wing, chuckling, "How's it going? Pretty good view, huh? Want to fly a little higher and see?"

Cheng Ye nodded, having learned his lesson this time, and deliberately squinted his eyes when pulling the control lever.

The flying wing assault unit continued its steady ascent, the wind whistling past its ears, and the scenery below appearing increasingly small.

Thirty meters, fifty meters, eighty meters.
It wasn't until the height was nearly 100 meters that the control lever began to show resistance to return to center, indicating that it had reached its maximum height.

But miraculously, the entire platform remained as stable as a rock, without even the slightest unnecessary sway, as if it were being held up in mid-air by an invisible force field.

Now, it was Cheng Ye's turn to truly see the whole picture.

It's somewhat like an inner city, with the entire B4 area being square and orderly, prosperous and stable inside, while the outside is firmly enclosed by a 20-meter-high alloy city wall.

But that's not the point. The point is the rail connecting the city and Xinjishan.

Four silver-gray tracks, like the tentacles of a giant dragon, extend from the inside of the city wall and embed themselves straight into the rock face of Xin Gui Mountain, fitting together perfectly with the main track on the mountain.

Looking further afield, three more urban areas, roughly the same size as Zone B4, are scattered around Xin Gui Mountain, also connected to the mountain by rails, like petals surrounding a flower stamen.

Further out, there are a dozen or so smaller quadrangle districts, like satellites surrounding the core, each area lit up, outlining a clear urban silhouette in the night.

"This is the unique star trail layout of our City of Fire's Sanctuary."

Li Changfeng's voice came over, "Xin Gui Mountain is an A-level core area. The outer platform is full of factories, and the interior has been transformed into a residential area. I can guarantee that the safest and most comfortable place on this planet is inside that mountain."

“The four cities outside are in the B-level area. We are in B4, and there are also B7, B12, and B15, which are connected by rail and Xin Gui Mountain.”

“The surrounding cities are the C-level areas, and they are mainly responsible for the preliminary processing of raw materials.”

Li Changfeng drew a circle in the air: "The process is very simple. Area C processes the raw materials initially and then transports them to Area B for further processing. After processing, they are sent to Xin Gui Mountain by rail to complete the final manufacturing. In other words, it is supported by the source rail technology."

While this information might be considered a secret to ordinary people, it is clearly not kept secret from the inspectors in the allied city of Happiness.

As Cheng Ye gazed at the tracks stretching across the night sky, he felt his throat go dry and was momentarily speechless.

To be honest, he did have a strong impulse at that moment.

I want to stay, to stay in this super sanctuary that is clearly more promising and brighter than Happiness City.

But as his gaze shifted, it landed on a semi-dark area to the northwest.

A few lights shone sporadically, like stars covered in dust, standing out starkly from the surrounding brilliance.

Under the lights, it's clear that there's a large area of ​​urban buildings there.

"There is?"

"Um"

Following his gaze, Li Changfeng's smile vanished instantly, his face visibly darkened, and his voice dropped several decibels. "That's Sector C35. About three months ago, a mother infected infiltrated the area, and chaos erupted overnight."

"Mother-derived infection?"

Cheng Ye subconsciously swallowed.

Previously, he only had a vague concept of these words, but Happiness City had just experienced a crisis caused by the mother source, which almost turned the buffer zone into a no-man's land.

"Yes, maternal infection."

Li Changfeng sighed, seemingly helpless and confused, "Well, Sector C35 is destroyed just like that. The original infected entity escaped in the chaos, and we are still pursuing it. We don't know where it escaped to."

The casual remark that ruined two words felt like a bucket of ice water being poured over one's head, sending chills down one's spine.

"Has the mother source escaped, or is she still lurking?"

"I don't know. At the level of the Mother Source, one already possesses complete supernatural abilities and can speak and move like a normal person. These abilities are only revealed under specific stimuli."

He suddenly gestured downwards with his lip, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips. "Who knows, it might be standing on some rooftop right now, watching us. Aren't you scared?"

"Fear?"

Cheng Ye was silent for a moment, then nodded truthfully, "Then you might be in even more danger than us."

"Dividing the area into different levels, A, B, and C, is not only to improve efficiency, but also to isolate risks and reduce the cost of parental invasion."

Li Changfeng understood his unspoken meaning: "If something really happens, just blow up the tracks and seal off the infected area. That's how we handled Zone C35. No one can escape, and no one dares to go in."

"Let's go, let's not talk about these discouraging things." Li Changfeng suddenly waved his hand casually, leaned forward slightly, and glided his wings toward the checkpoint. "The more prosperous a place is, the more scars it has buried underneath. Let's talk about something else. I really enjoy listening to the radio. Your Happiness City's programs are very interesting."

A deep longing flashed in his eyes. "We rarely receive your signals directly; most of them are recorded broadcasts brought by outsiders. Last time I listened to your celebration livestream—singing, dancing, storytelling, and even a children's performance. It was much more interesting than what we have here. All we get here are technical lectures, defense briefings, natural disaster warnings, and all sorts of threats. Life is so bleak!"

"When I get old and can't work anymore, I'll go to your Happiness City to retire and live that kind of carefree life where I can bask in the sun in the square and doze off while listening to songs."

"hehe."

Cheng Ye chuckled twice, suddenly realizing that the inner city mode of Happiness City wasn't entirely useless.

Is it quite attractive to these migrant workers?

"If you want to come to our area, why don't you try to stay inside Xin Gui Mountain?"

“That place?” Li Changfeng shook his head. “I’m not qualified. Those who can live there are either pioneers in source orbit technology or officers with outstanding military achievements. And it’s not free to live there. The contribution points consumed every day are equivalent to my monthly salary. You want to retire without continuous output? Unless you can invent a groundbreaking source attraction technology, you’ll be kicked out after a few days.”

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed towards the city wall, his tone becoming lighter, "That's the checkpoint. There's only one in the entire B4 area. Isn't that special enough?"

Cheng Ye looked in the direction he was pointing, his gaze pausing slightly.

In terms of scale alone, the checkpoint in Zone B4 is far less impressive than that in Happiness City. It's just a small, gray, four-story building right below the city wall, which looks rather inconspicuous.

But as the wings flew closer, he discovered the secret: the small building was not only inside the city wall, but also extended to the outside of the city wall through a closed passage, like a dumbbell embedded in the city wall.

The extended area outside is as large as two football fields, with clear markings, giving it a modern train station feel.

“Our model is different from yours,” Li Changfeng explained. “B4 area has few outsiders and is mostly populated by permanent residents whose activities are mainly within the safe zone.”

He pointed to the area outside, "The outermost part is the rapid inspection area, which relies entirely on machine scanning. The machine can scan the residents' biometrics to determine if there are any problems. If there are no problems, they can be released directly. It's very efficient."

"If the machine detects an anomaly, it will automatically transfer to the second area, the manual review area."

"A second verification by inspectors with equipment can basically eliminate 90% of the problems."

Finally, he pointed to the four-story building: "The third area is here, the quarantine area. Whether you are suspected of being infected or have returned from the edge of the orange or red zone, you have to stay here for 21 days, be tested three times a day, and can only come out if there are no problems."

"Would you like to look at it from the back to the front, or try going through the entire inspection process?"

"It goes without saying."

Cheng Ye raised an eyebrow, and the two of them, with tacit understanding, crossed the city wall and landed steadily on the open ground in front of the checkpoint.

Although it was late at night, there were still a few residents coming and going at the entrance, most of them in a hurry, carrying backpacks or dragging suitcases.

"We work in 24-hour shifts. Your shifts should stop at night, right?"

"Yes, the gate is closed at 12 o'clock and reopened at 8 o'clock in the morning."

The fire has a safe zone to support continuous operation, but there are also layers of regional divisions and risks on the periphery.

The area surrounding Happiness City is a desolate wasteland, and opening the gates at night would be tantamount to giving infected people the green light.

The commotion caused by the two people descending from the sky attracted several glances.

There was envy, curiosity, and...
Cheng Ye's gaze suddenly stopped, landing on the face of a middle-aged man who had just swiped his ID card, and he couldn't help but frown.

The other person was wearing faded work clothes and carrying a common military bag with several patches sewn on the corners, looking just like the migrants who had poured out of Happiness City some time ago.

"What's wrong?" "Nothing."

Cheng Ye shook his head, watching the man stride into the depths of the passage. The fleeting greed in the other man's eyes during their brief eye contact made him very uncomfortable.

Moreover, Cheng Ye was familiar with this kind of gaze; it was very similar to the thugs in the buffer zone of Happiness City who forced people to buy and sell, treating them as prey, a mixture of calculation and undisguised desire.

But then I thought about it again and it seemed normal.

Even the most prosperous places are not pure lands; there are always corners where filth and corruption lurk.

Entering the inspection hall, it resembles a modern train station ticket gate, with eight lanes standing side by side, some wide and some narrow.

The electronic screen above the entrance displays a scrolling message: "Please swipe your ID card."

"The three lanes on the left are for residents, the four lanes on the right are for supplies, and the innermost lane is an emergency lane, which is usually locked."

Following the direction Li Changfeng pointed, Cheng Ye glanced at it and quickly made a judgment in his mind.

Caravan trade in the outer areas only occurs in lower-level areas. Core areas like B4 should not involve the detection of outsiders, so the entire passageway is designed to be simple and primarily internal.

Compared to the complicated checkpoint at Xingfu City, which had to check both outsiders and the goods of caravans, this place was indeed much simpler.

Power is synonymous with responsibility, and Cheng Ye could guess that just by looking at the scale of this place.

Li Changfeng's power is probably not that great, at least not in terms of making money. He is certainly not as good as the prosecutor in Xingfu City and most likely has to rely on a fixed income to make a living.

Without real power, the position of inspector becomes a respectable job, no different in essence from that of a technician at a repair shop or a worker at the Public Works Department.

"Here, I'll grant you the necessary permissions, give it a try!"

Li Changfeng swiped his identity badge at the entrance, and the barriers in front of him popped open to the sides, revealing the conveyor belt behind.

Cheng Ye stepped onto the conveyor belt, which immediately began to slowly roll, smoothly transporting him into the sealed isolation examination chamber in front.

The cabin was devoid of unnecessary decorations; the walls were covered with exposed instruments of various sizes, their probes adjusting their angles as the conveyor belt moved, exuding a cold, precise feel.

Unlike the Happiness City checkpoint, which requires residents to report their numbers themselves, this place is fully automated.

The conveyor belt pushed him forward, and the instrument automatically started the detection, with beeping prompts mixed with mechanical voices announcing the numbers.

Cheng Ye looked at the scanner above his head with great interest, and suddenly felt like a piece of goods being sent into an assembly line, undergoing the final inspection before leaving the factory.

Upon reaching the center of the cabin, a cube-shaped instrument suddenly emitted a slight hum, and a pale blue beam of light shot out from the side, sweeping from the top of his head all the way to his feet.

At first, Cheng Ye didn't understand what was going on until he turned his head and saw the woman next to him who was also being examined. Her eyes seemed a little hot, and she secretly swallowed a few times.

Following her gaze, I realized that the instrument was actually for seeing through objects.

On the wall to Cheng Ye's left, a screen is currently displaying a rotating image of a naked human body.

After several skill enhancements, his body is now as sculpted as if carved by a knife, with smooth and firm muscle lines, without a trace of excess bulk, exuding power and beauty.

Of course, looking down is a bit indecent; this damn device offers no privacy whatsoever!

"Don't be afraid, this is a shallow scan. It's mainly to detect whether there are implanted bombs or abnormal wounds. It's much faster than manually removing clothes for testing."

Li Changfeng's voice came from outside the cabin, tinged with a mocking smile.

This laugh made Cheng Ye feel even more embarrassed. Fortunately, the woman next door had been sent away first.

Once the scan is complete, the conveyor belt continues to push forward.

Suddenly, a tray rose up in front of them, and a thin needle as fine as a hair extended from the robotic arm beside it.

"Blood test?"

Cheng Ye proactively extended his right hand, and the needle gently pricked his fingertip, completing the sampling with almost no pain.

Ten seconds later, the tray, carrying the blood sample, retracted into the bulkhead.

The conveyor belt suddenly sped up, like a smooth ribbon, steadily carrying him to the stern of the cabin.

The barrier at the end slowly rose, revealing a bright passageway outside.

"How about it? Isn't our process quite advanced?" Li Changfeng greeted him, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Indeed, it's very efficient."

Cheng Ye looked back and suddenly thought that it would be great if Happiness City had such an inspection cabin.

"Is it source track technology?"

"Yes, the testing equipment you see basically all uses source track technology."

"sharp."

Cheng Ye nodded sincerely, and quietly opened the panel to take a look. Li Changfeng's cooperation level had already climbed to 42%.

He stared at the items on the panel, searching, when a thought suddenly popped into his head:

This inspection cabin shouldn't be considered an item, but rather a facility, right?

Moreover, judging from its size, it is clearly not owned by Li Changfeng personally; at the very least, it must be under the jurisdiction of the checkpoint chief.

"I wonder if choosing a different path for promotion would have opened up more avenues for research?"

Cheng Ye thought to himself, if he had a direction for the search facilities, he might be able to find the isolation ward in no time.

If we could bring a set of these back to Happiness City and reverse engineer them, the workload at the checkpoints would be reduced by at least 50%.

Continuing on, the inquiry section is not much different from the checkpoint in Happiness City.

A semi-open interrogation desk stands in the center, with the prosecutor sitting behind bulletproof glass. Information about the people to be investigated scrolls on the screen in front of him, and all his speech is transmitted through a microphone.

It's a bit like the stage for "Who's Still Standing?" that Cheng Ye saw before his time travel, only without the lights and applause, and with a more serious feel.

Cheng Ye stood on the platform opposite the information desk with great interest. As soon as he stood still, several bright lights suddenly turned on all around him, shining from all directions, making it hard for him to open his eyes.

He subconsciously squinted and suddenly realized that the arrangement was indeed quite interesting. Under bright light, people are easily made to feel nervous and unable to hide their feelings.

"How are you feeling? Feeling the pressure?"

Cheng Ye nodded, then turned his body around to feel it for a while, and suddenly an idea popped into his head.

Stepping off the platform, he looked at Li Changfeng and said, "Changfeng, why don't you stand up there and be the one being inspected? I'll try out your inspection process."

"Okay, I'll go along with you. You try it out and see how it feels."

Li Changfeng readily agreed. Without much thought, he pointed to the side and said, "There are staff members on duty inside. Go in through that passage, and they will grant you access permissions."

Following the passage he pointed out, we entered the interrogation room, where there were indeed four staff members on night duty, two men and two women, all wearing matching blue uniforms.

Upon seeing Cheng Ye enter, the four men stood up in unison and respectfully greeted him, "Prosecutor Cheng, hello!"

"Haha, everyone, don't be nervous."

Cheng Ye quickly waved his hand, a friendly smile on his face, "I'm just here to visit and learn, and I'd like to experience your inspection process. Please cooperate."

"How does Prosecutor Cheng want to cooperate?"

Upon noticing that Li Changfeng had stepped forward, he deliberately looked around and exaggeratedly rubbed his hands together, pretending to be nervous as if he were being thoroughly investigated.

Upon seeing this, the four staff members couldn't help but lower their heads and suppress their laughter.

"Investigate him according to the highest standards you have here. Use whatever means you have."

"This"

"Just do as Prosecutor Cheng says, investigate me thoroughly!" Li Changfeng's voice came through the microphone, with a hearty laugh. "Deng Hao, shut down my access. Now Prosecutor Cheng is me. Do whatever he says, and I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

"Yes, Prosecutor Li!"

Deng Hao nodded immediately, and without further ado, he typed rapidly on the keyboard, "Prosecutor Cheng, please come in!"

"Alright, let me see what you've got!"

Cheng Ye swaggered into the prosecutor's chair, and the moment his fingers touched the microphone, he caught a glimpse of the control panel out of the corner of his eye.
The level of cooperation is fluctuating wildly.

It jumped up by two percentage points almost every second, and broke through 60% in the blink of an eye.

How is it so useful? Could it be that scene inspection is a perfect collector?

Cheng Ye was both surprised and delighted. He was about to exclaim in surprise when he looked up and suddenly froze.

Holy crap, it turns out it wasn't the setting that was useful, but rather that Li Changfeng across from him was gripping the railing of the information desk, trembling like an electrified sieve, with a trace of white foam even hanging from the corner of his mouth.

"What are you doing?"

Cheng Ye was so shocked that he stood up abruptly, his voice trembling.

"Deterrence tactics," Deng Hao explained expressionlessly, his fingers still typing on the keyboard. "When we encounter suspicious individuals who are stubborn, we will first use an electric shock to stimulate them, which will make the subsequent interrogation much smoother."

"?"

So brutal?

How about a little electric shock to liven things up before the examination?
He quickly waved his hand, "Prosecutor Li isn't a real infected person, how can you really electrocute him! Quick, turn the power up to the maximum for me, just let me see the effect."

"Yes!"

Deng Hao pressed a red button.

呲la.

A blinding flash of lightning exploded in front of Li Changfeng, and the air was instantly filled with the smell of burning.

Li Changfeng's hair exploded at a visible speed, and his whole body went limp as if his bones had been removed, sliding down the railing to the ground.

The cooperation rate on the panel skyrocketed, jumping directly to 78%!

Cheng Ye's eyes lit up: "Great! This is perfect! Our Happiness City checkpoint is just missing this. It's strong enough to deter people, and it won't actually kill anyone. It's the perfect way to deal with those slippery scavengers!"

"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Show them to me and let me see!"

The voice came through the microphone, and Li Changfeng, who was lying on the ground, forced a smile through gritted teeth.

He could tell that Cheng Ye's excitement wasn't feigned; he genuinely thought the method was effective.

It was an excitement that couldn't be hidden.

It was an overwhelming surge of excitement!
"A fellow traveler!"

Li Changfeng smiled bitterly to himself, forced himself to get up from the ground, and stood firm by holding onto the railing.

Even if the body is numb from the electric shock, even if there are other methods to be used.

We can't let the prosecutors of Happiness City think that the prosecutors of Shining Flame can't even handle this "small matter".

"Next up, low-frequency shockwaves!"

A deep humming sound instantly filled the entire examination chamber, and Cheng Ye felt his temples throbbing even through the glass.

Looking at Li Changfeng again, his face instantly turned deathly pale. He covered his ears, bent over, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

The cooperation rate continued to change, reaching 83%.

"Intense light burn simulation can create the illusion of skin burns for the examinee through special simulation, but in reality, it causes no harm!"

As Deng Hao spoke, his fingers tapped rapidly, employing a series of techniques that astonished Cheng Ye.

The City of Fire and Protection seems to have taken a completely different approach to inspection than the City of Happiness, focusing on technological capabilities and using various special instruments to simulate the fear of the infected, thereby inducing an outbreak.

But this is terrible for non-infected individuals; every method is enough to make one's teeth ache.

However, none of this surprised Cheng Ye.

What truly astonished him was that Li Changfeng was a real tough guy, able to grit his teeth and force a smile no matter what methods he faced.

Although that smile was somewhat like that of the Jade-Faced Hand Grenade King, carrying a nonchalant roguish air, it seemed to be a provocation to him, the prosecutor.

But the fit of the panel cannot be faked!
Before he even got a chance to check or ask questions, he went straight to 100%.

"Okay, stop, stop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Hao immediately shut down all the equipment.

Li Changfeng leaned against the railing, panting heavily. His hair was sticking up like a feather duster, and there were still red marks on his arms from the strong light.

Looking up through the bulletproof glass, he forced a stiff smile: "How about it? Is it eye-opening enough?"

"Brilliant!"

Cheng Ye gave a genuine thumbs up, and at the same time, quickly clicked on the item search.

This time, the 100% chance doesn't guarantee a hit, but it should provide an extra 50% bonus.

The screen flashed with text, then transformed into a heart-stopping notification:
Search successful!

【Li Changfeng】

[Searchable Item Range Check:]

[Search successful. You have obtained the item - Wing Assault Unit (Standard Duty Version)]

"Damn, I hit it on my first try!"

Cheng Ye was so excited he almost jumped off his chair; his heart was pounding wildly in his chest, as if it were about to explode.

Flying Wing Assault Unit!

It’s mine!
What big golden cups, what battery-powered vehicles? I have those, they're high-end stuff from the City of Fire and Protection!
The thought of flying around Happiness City on this thing made Cheng Ye's mind go blank, and he almost passed out from excitement.

Fortunately, the 50% charge value in the upper right corner of the panel reminded him, and he quickly clicked the search button a second time before his cooperation level dropped.

The panel flickered again.

Search successful!
