Chapter 863: Chapter 282: Absolute Opposition, Cheng Long the Oathkeeper!

Wenlu County.

Cheng Ye made an apologetic gesture, swiftly walked to an empty spot nearby, and lowered his voice to exclaim into the Defense Communication, "Brother B? Why did you suddenly come to Dapo Town? Why didn’t you inform me beforehand?"

As a fusion of the malignant mother source, even with special suppression, Yu Yong’s integration with the Ghost Shadow Spider continued to slowly increase, along with occasional sudden surges.

Adding to Yu Yong’s eccentric and solitary nature, this was only half a month in, and they had already urgently suppressed a fusion runaway once.

The two made an agreement: if there were two fusion loss-of-control incidents within a month, Yu Yong would return to the exclusive suppression room for confinement.

"My task is over; I came to check out your Dapo Town." Liu Bi’s voice came through the communicator, his tone revealing no emotion, yet Cheng Ye could still imagine him squinting as he scrutinized.

Before Cheng Ye could respond, Liu Bi raised his voice sharply, "I didn’t expect that your Dapo Town hides such a special infected body, capable of freely moving and mingling with the crowd."

Liu Bi emphasized the words ’mingling with the crowd.’

"Are you referring to Yu Yong?" Cheng Ye immediately reacted, rubbing his temples, "Brother B, don’t rush; I’ll be back soon. His situation is somewhat special."

After speaking, he quickly added, "Yu Yong, return to the suppression room immediately and wait for me. I don’t want any more misunderstandings, understand?"

Silence greeted him from the other end of the communicator, and after a few seconds, the call was abruptly terminated.

Cheng Ye swiftly checked the fusion degree indicator on the Defense Communication, seeing the value had not risen but instead slowly fell back by 3%, allowing his suspended heart to relax slightly.

"Brother Cheng, is everything okay?" Wang Kang approached quietly and asked.

"It’s fine; Brother B’s mission is over, and he’s here in our Dapo Town!" Cheng Ye put away the Defense Communication, his face showing a mix of helplessness and amusement.

Wang Kang hesitated upon seeing this, asking, "Then why do you seem unhappy? It should be a good thing, right?"

"It is good, just don’t know why Brother Bi found Yu Yong, and now the two are having issues."

"Could it be Luokuke?"

"It’s not him; I’ve already talked to him. He promised to ignore Yu Yong and wouldn’t encourage Brother B to meet Yu Yong."

Cheng Ye shook his head, glancing at the distant, still-busy disassembly crew, instructing Wang Kang: "Keep an eye here; I’m heading back."

"Okay, the main structure is down; take your time with the connecting parts; there won’t be any problems."

Dismantling a tower crane from Wenlu County is not simple; besides the heavy core, there are also numerous connecting bolts, pins, and high-strength fasteners, plus electrical control cabinets, wires, and hooks—the fine components. It took half a day to finish two-thirds.

Cheng Ye also called Davidson, coordinating the follow-up transport arrangements for the crane before briskly heading to the off-road vehicle parked by the roadside.

"Let’s go back to Dapo Town." He opened the car door and sat inside.

"Is there a situation in the town?" Mu Shuang raised an eyebrow and asked, already adeptly starting the car.

"No, just a minor issue."

Cheng Ye waved his hand casually and rolled down the car window.

The cool autumn wind instantly poured in, carrying the dry and rough scent of roadside dead grass, fluttering the strands of hair on his forehead slightly.

The off-road vehicle slowly started, the distant gray skyline flickering slightly in the bumps. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Before long, the vehicle left the Wenlu County boundary, speeding toward Dapo Town’s direction.

Seeing the off-road vehicle approaching, Luokuke, standing at the checkpoint entrance, didn’t show the slightest surprise.

"Did they start a fight?" Luokuke asked first.

"What happened?"

"You didn’t hide Yu Yong well enough; everyone knows him. Ordinary people can’t detect his anomaly, but Liu Bi is already a master of Unity of Heaven and Man and a strong Fourth-stage Inspector. Being discovered is typical."

Luokuke shook his head, "He’s not like me; my belief hasn’t fully manifested yet, and ignoring Yu Yong’s presence is possible, but Liu Bi...your father took everyone away but didn’t take him. You should understand how steadfast his belief is."

"Furthermore, if you still want to attract other Inspectors in the future, my advice remains the same: don’t let anyone know about Yu Yong’s existence. Different paths cannot be followed together; not everyone can accept cooperation with infected bodies, whether as a task or with sufficient benefits. We occupy the Inspector’s position and must uphold the baseline. If people think we can surpass this line anytime, who will trust us to guard the checkpoint? Guard Shelter City?"

Liu Bi’s belief...

Cheng Ye paused at heart, silently nodding.

The off-road vehicle slipped through the open barrier of the checkpoint, its wheels rolling over the flat road making slight noise.

Only three months since they last met, and such a commotion upon reuniting with Brother B.

Yet, it precisely demonstrated his progress—the speed at which he could establish a force and coordinate internally.

It also made him increasingly aware that the set of theories Cheng Wu had left was almost impossible to realize within the current Inspector system. To advance the checkpoint, the first challenge precisely lies here.

The identity of the Inspector, from its inception, was marked with an unwavering mission.

Contain infection sources, eliminate infected bodies, treating these threats to Shelter City’s survival as mortal enemies.

We must isolate danger with absolute opposition. Only this pure hostility and steadfast protection can assure Shelter City residents’ peace and let the higher-ups trust us to bear the critical guarding responsibility.
