Chapter 593: Chapter 209: Immortal Object Fragment, the Shattered Liu Kun! (Part 2)

Even though... he had already sketched out the blueprints for the future of this place in his mind, the moment the words "Destruction Level" appeared, all plans, all preparations, all imaginations about the future...

were all destroyed!

In the face of disaster, people can still find crevices to cling to life.

But when everything is completely destroyed, how is it possible for anyone to come out alive?

Whew.

At the moment he received the definitive answer, Cheng Ye took several deep breaths, but became completely calm.

Since Happiness City had already sentenced nearly a thousand people in Dapo Town, Luokuke, and Wang Kang to death.

He didn’t need to struggle to explain anything further or try to pull at anything again.

And if the "Golden Legend" seen on the panel before corresponded to this Destruction Level infection source, then perhaps there was still room to maneuver.

Because some of the known characteristics don’t seem like world-destroying havoc, but more like a "rule."

If, as Luokuke said before, we figure out a way to dive in and find the source of pollution and then contain it, could we end this Destruction Level disaster?

The thought came up, circled in his mind, and was hidden deep in Cheng Ye’s mind.

He didn’t ask again whether the people inside still had a chance to be saved.

As an Inspector, he understood better than anyone that until confirming whether the other side was infected, every question-and-answer session held risk. Especially with this kind of cognition-distorting spiritual contamination, who knows if asking one more question could trigger an infection?

Harlem was willing to take the risk to answer him, perhaps not only for being fellow Inspectors but also because he understood Cheng Ye’s concern for the people in the town.

"After entering Dapo Town at noon, we first encountered an attack by a swarm of Thorn Birds..."

Cheng Ye refocused his thoughts and began narrating the day’s experiences in an orderly manner.

He spoke with exceptional detail, with every time point and encounter being clearly articulated.

This was both to cooperate with the inspection process and to use the recollection to trace clues to find the moment when the spiritual contamination first revealed its traces.

"Around 7:40 PM, I was still uneasy about the situation by the river, so I went on patrol alone again."

"It was during this patrol that I suddenly sensed someone seemingly following me, hearing very light yet eerie footsteps..."

At some point, Harlem had already entered a fully focused state, with his right hand holding a pen and swiftly gliding across the paper, recording key information one by one.

The several detection instruments around Cheng Ye had already been operating at full power, with screens displaying densely packed data, analyzing his micro-movements, micro-expressions, heart rate, and pupil changes in real-time.

The whole data was stable, without any abnormal fluctuations.

Standing at the back of the crowd, Liu Kun discreetly glanced at the instrument screens, first feeling a sigh of relief in his heart, and then a tinge of regret swept over.

After the pollution field of the Immortal Objects unfolded.

Any Extraordinary who entered rashly would immediately trigger a surge of internal pollution.

Don’t even think about saving the people inside; without the ability to resist pollution, even those who entered would be trapped inside.

According to the sparse intelligence records from the Firewood Alliance, the only way to save people would be to have a "person marked by the Immortal Objects" enter again to pry open a sliver of hope.

If the person coming out was an ordinary person, Happiness City might still risk letting him try again.

But Cheng Ye’s performance in every aspect now fully met his expectations of a "top new generation Inspector"; how could such a talent be allowed to take risks again?

"We can’t let Cheng Ye go back in, damn it, those damned former generation Extraordinary, if they’re dead, they’re dead, but why leave a shit stain around Happiness City to disgust others?"

Liu Kun couldn’t help but curse inwardly, but his gaze discreetly swept towards the two grey-robed elders floating in mid-air, contemplating how he might apply to protect Cheng Ye later.

For Happiness City, and for the Elder Council, the importance of the Immortal Objects is self-evident.

If the pollution above can be purified, it might become a powerful trump card for Shelter City.

But for the Inspector Post, the odds of successfully containing the source of pollution and coming out alive are similarly frighteningly low.

A new generation Inspector who can survive the outbreak of a Destruction Level Immortal Object is obviously more valuable!

However, could his opinion really outweigh the decisions of the two Elders?

Hard!

Soon, Cheng Ye’s voice pulled his thoughts back: "Later, I discovered in the team the member infected by the Ghost Water Cave Crab, and then..."

He paused for a second, his tone calm and unfazed, "There was a brief fight, and ultimately, the infected body was killed with the combined efforts of me and the others in the squad."

"After the fight ended, I returned to camp and rested for about half an hour before hearing a commotion outside. When all of us rushed out to check, we realized it was people from the Red Zone gathering in the town center..."

"After dealing with the source of infection from the Red Zone, we arranged the night patrol schedule: Luokuke and Garcia were responsible for the first half of the night, and at three in the morning, we would switch with Wang Kang and myself. But just as I was about to call for the shift at three, Luokuke ran over to tell me that Garcia and half of the patrol team were missing..."

Further down, regarding the orderly rows of Crab-men on the riverside, the bizarre scenes during the spiritual contamination outbreak, and the details of the team members being "petrified," Cheng Ye did not hide a thing and revealed it all.

He could clearly feel countless gazes falling on him and faintly sense various monitoring instruments.

Under the watchful eyes of so many and the scrutiny of sophisticated instruments, the difficulty of lying and muddling through was probably as daunting as entering Dapo Town again to contain the source of pollution.
