Wasteland Border Inspector-Chapter 121 - 79: Starfish Epilogue, Spotlight from the Idealist Faction!

"Thank you, Inspector Cheng, for guarding the specimen."

The lead researcher straightened up and patted his gloves, sticky with mucus.

"No problem, just doing my duty."

Cheng Ye nodded and pointed at the remains of the Fusion Body on the ground. "And what about him?"

"You can dispose of it like an ordinary Infected Body, or wait till daylight. Someone will come to clean up these bodies and take them to a unified location for incineration."

"Alright."

After completing the handover procedure, the three armored vehicles returned the way they came, and the drones overhead scattered with a buzz.

"Let’s go, Long, we’re not done with the pedestrian street yet."

"Okay." Long responded, took two steps, then scratched his head and turned back. "Sir, can we take Can’s body with us? At least let his wife see him one last time, for closure."

"Sure, you handle it, as there’s no longer a source of infection, and no pollution abilities remain."

Cheng Ye waved it off, not particularly concerned.

The group quickly retreated over the rubble, with the drone swarm buzzing above, circling twice before heading straight for the pedestrian street as instructed.

Once the sound of metallic wings disappeared into the depths of the buildings, Cheng Ye slowly opened his palm.

The bronze Collector pendant lay quietly in his palm, the once hollow glass core had silently transformed.

One-quarter of it was filled with a vivid blue, and if you looked closely, you could vaguely see a small starfish floating in the blue liquid. Its five arms were all covered with sharp metallic colors, spinning with the liquid like a top.

"Is this the Horned Starfish?"

Cheng Ye was extremely curious.

The Stand-In Starfish was a mutant product of the Horned Starfish eroded to death by the S-4 virus. Its original Extraordinary Ability underwent an aberration, turning into a special form of pollution.

However, the Tear of the Horned Starfish in his hand was a genuine Extraordinary object from before the S-4 version.

How did the Collector manage to retrieve this object from Zhang Can?

Unable to figure it out, he dismissed the thought.

"Five minutes of the Extraordinary, this is an invincible trump card..."

The panel popped open, its alluring attribute bonuses enticing beyond measure.

Not to mention strength and speed, the defense alone was indescribably abnormal.

Additionally, you could temporarily possess two Extraordinary skills, one for recovery and one for control.

"If I could get this Carnivorous Recovery, my Iron Body could be used freely!"

Cheng Ye smacked his lips and then chuckled silently.

Matching a Level 5 skill with a Level 2 use really was turning the heavens upside down.

However, this also helped him figure out the level system of the Extraordinary skills, with the most basic starting at Level 5.

"Just a little more information, and I can make it through the internship to unlock Level 3 searches..."

"Level 5, it’s not far, endure for a year or two, and I’ll surely boost the information level."

Compared to others, this speed was already considered incredibly terrifying.

It’s worth noting that Ding Yishan, the station master, had endured for over a decade and still hadn’t reached the Extraordinary.

Two hours later.

As the morning sun gradually rose on the horizon, Cheng Ye stretched with a yawn, finally hearing a series of pleasant prompts.
