Chapter 313: Chapter 133: The Opening of the Changing Situation, The Road of the Extraordinary! (Part 2)

As for the Extraordinary Seed and the fire basin that were found.

Cheng Ye flipped his hand, took out the pendant, and carefully examined it in front of his eyes.

The Extraordinary Seed looked like a miniature egg, completely fiery red with faint golden patterns embroidered on the eggshell.

And the Scorching Eagle’s fire basin appeared even more unique. Though called a basin, it actually resembled a small cauldron.

The body of the cauldron was semi-transparent Fire Jade, inside which three flames quietly lay dormant.

The three legs of the cauldron, shaped like eagle feathers, stood upright, and its body was carved with mysterious flame patterns. Upon closer inspection, those patterns seemed alive, slowly swirling in the light.

"Not bad, although it’s just a bowl, it’s my first Extraordinary Item."

Cheng Ye shoved the pendant back into his collar and leaned back on the recliner to rest for a while.

It wasn’t until he felt somewhat rejuvenated that he got up and walked over to Wang Kang’s side to help keep an eye on the situation outside the quarantine net.

By evening, the infection detection rate was significantly higher.

Not just in Zone B, occasional gunfire could also be heard from neighboring Zones A and D.

Only Zone C, where Inspector Di Ruofei replaced Dong Xing, remained temporarily uninvolved.

But this was just a temporary calm. Once the migrants entered tomorrow, Zone C would undoubtedly bear the brunt, with pressures surpassing Zone B.

Just past eight o’clock in the evening, the line outside the quarantine Zone B hadn’t shortened. Instead, it swelled like an inflated balloon to nearly five hundred people!

The beams of the searchlights swept over, revealing the densely packed heads, making one’s heart tighten.

Especially after just detecting four latent Infected Bodies in a row, Cheng Ye was pondering whether he should slow the pace to disperse the crowd when he saw two figures approaching from the quarantine zone.

The newcomers didn’t appear young, both walking steadily.

As they came closer, Cheng Ye’s eyes lit up slightly. They were both Third-stage Inspectors from the Eastern People.

Notably, the one on the left with a sullen face was Song Hai, who had previously "run away."

This was getting interesting.

Cheng Ye squeezed out a slight smile and quickly approached, "Inspector Song, what’s going on?"

"You’re asking despite knowing, aren’t you?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Song Hai interrupted him with a gloomy expression, a hint of helplessness in his tone, "Alright, Inspector Cheng and Inspector Wang can leave now."

He paused, raising his hand to gesture towards his companion, "The station will be open overnight tonight, and I will be taking turns on duty with Inspector Gu."

As he finished speaking, Gu Xinjing beside him simultaneously revealed a formal smile.

Being able to pair up with Song Hai, naturally, he was also a tactical enthusiast, with a shrewdness that he couldn’t conceal in his eyes.

"Thank you both for your hard work, go and rest quickly."

Gu Xinjing’s voice was gentle yet carried an indisputable tone, "I heard from the station chief that there’s going to be a lot to handle."

The implication was clear that both of them were already aware of the Wanderer, merely not acknowledging it openly.

Only Gu Xinjing probably wouldn’t have expected that the one who first discovered the storm-causing "Wanderer" was the seemingly ordinary Intern Inspector standing before him.

"Thank you, Inspector Song, and Inspector Gu."

Cheng Ye nodded slightly, then turned to Wang Kang, who was still packing up, "Inspector Wang, aren’t you leaving?"

Wang Kang snapped out of a daze, hastily nodded, and smiled as he handed the three registration books on the table to Song Hai.

The handwriting in the books was neat, notations clear, with features of the Infected Bodies marked in red pen.

Song Hai flipped through a couple of pages, his originally tense expression softened somewhat, nodding, "Very orderly, this will be a big help for us."

In the past, what they feared most about taking over from interns was those registration books.

The information recorded by newcomers often had omissions, requiring a significant amount of time to verify and amend.

But the content recorded by Cheng Ye and Wang Kang carried an old-fashioned rigor, looking at it felt comforting.

"We’ll be off then."

Cheng Ye didn’t linger for a moment, calling Wang Kang as they walked towards the quarantine zone.

Even under normal circumstances, overnight inspections would lead to a significant increase in the detection rate of Infected Bodies, doubling the danger.

Not to mention, at this juncture, discovering triple-digit Infected Bodies in one night wouldn’t be surprising.

Fortunately, these matters didn’t concern the two "little interns" for now.

The Third-stage Inspectors from the Eastern People were all veterans with over ten years of experience, far more adept at handling this kind of chaos than them.

As they walked out, many new faces suddenly appeared within the inspection station.

Especially in the public areas, organized guard teams lined up, their dark green uniforms forming a continuous line under the lights. A rough glance revealed at least three to five hundred people, moving in batches towards various inspection zones as per orders.

The heavy footsteps on the ground were like rolling thunder, signifying to everyone that tonight was going to be a tough battle.

"Brother Cheng, what’s next..."

Wang Kang, looking at the armed guards, had a bit of whiteness on his face as he stood under the eaves alongside Cheng Ye, his voice tinged with worry.

"Don’t worry." Cheng Ye reached out and patted his shoulder, his tone relaxed, "When the sky falls, the tall ones will bear it. You and I are merely small fry; no need to trouble yourself with such concerns."

In reality, he was also somewhat apprehensive inside, but over time, he had become accustomed to such precarious days.

The main theme of this wasteland was danger, was decay.

Instead of fearing that the arrival of large numbers of migrants would bring threats of death, it was better to hope they would bring renewal.

It’s just...

"If only it could be delayed by another year or so..."

The two gazed in silence for a while until the last group of guards entered the inspection zone, and then turned to leave.

Cheng Ye took out the Defense Communication device to call Master Zhang, then with Wang Kang, he went to the newly set-up logistics center in the public area to collect their allotted share of Nutrient Paste.
