Wasteland Border Inspector-Chapter 361 - 145: Leaving the City! Wilderness! Toward the Sea of Stars!

Chapter 361: Chapter 145: Leaving the City! Wilderness! Toward the Sea of Stars!

Cheng Ye’s eyes immediately located on the chart, finding two other names just below, one to the east and one to the west, both being Third-stage Inspectors.

Both Third-stage Inspectors scored lower than me?

Cheng Ye’s fingertips lightly tapped the paper as he fell into contemplation.

Flipping to the second page, the list of data compiled by the supercomputer was laid out clearly and intuitively:

[Satellite City - Dapo Town]

[Initiator: Cheng Ye] 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

[Comprehensive Scheme Score: 53 points]

[Construction Feasibility: 21 (Substantial obstacles during construction, high technical barriers, stringent environmental restrictions, with each phase requiring the overcoming of multiple barriers, making the implementation significantly difficult)]

[Development Potential: 42 (Has some growth potential, with possible improvements in industry expansion and population absorption in the future, yet lacking in explosive capability)]

[Scheme Feasibility: 69 (Realistic conditions are relatively mature, aligns well with existing resources, and is highly operable)]

[Overall Integrity: 63 (The connections between various phases and modules of the scheme are relatively reasonable, forming a relatively complete system, though local synergy still needs strengthening)]

[Resource Input Level: 65 (The demand for human, material, and financial resources is at a medium level, with moderate pressure on resource allocation, all within a controllable range)]

...

"Is the construction difficulty really this high?"

Cheng Ye’s gaze fixed on the first score, not expecting Dapo Town’s score to only be 21.

Compared to the 60-odd scores behind, it was glaringly stark.

He flipped to the back of the score sheet, and indeed found the ranking references for each piece of data:

[Sample Size: 36]

[Position: 29, 21, 13, 13, 9]

[Comprehensive Rank: 17]

[Only ranked based on one round of answer generation, this data is not involved in subsequent evaluations]

"High construction difficulty, average potential, yet the scheme I proposed, Dapo Town’s significance to Happiness City, and resource input are all high scores..."

Cheng Ye murmured to himself, his mind gradually gaining clarity.

He still had some questions about the construction difficulty, but reflected in the overall ranking, it matched his initial expectations for Dapo Town.

This is a place that is neither popular nor obscure, positioned in the middle among all options, a choice where competition is not too intense.

Continuing to flip forward were the second-round examination questions.

At the top was still an essay question focusing on his proposal from yesterday, precisely targeting details for further inquiry:

For instance, how the overall layout of the fishery should be planned, how to control the spatial distance between the fishery and residential areas, which technical means and management measures to adopt to ensure that the fishery’s water source is not contaminated by potential infection sources nearby...

Thankfully, the questions were not too numerous, only totaling 12.

But after the essay question, three practical questions appeared, in bold and exceptionally noticeable:

1. Catch fish in the White Water River of Dapo Town, needing to capture 5 different species and submit samples.

2. Visit key locations mentioned in the proposal, sample to verify the scheme’s feasibility.

3. Hike through a designated country road (under full supervision by a monitor, cheating prohibited).

This question...

Cheng Ye was first stunned, then his heart relaxed, realizing choosing Dapo Town yesterday was indeed the right decision.

The supercomputer indeed targeted questions based on the first round’s site selection. Had he chosen those popular locations, being sent to investigate underground pipelines would have been truly troublesome.

"It seems the core of the second round is to verify whether the scheme can be implemented."

Cheng Ye’s fingertip skimmed over the word "fishing" and suddenly turned to Jiang Chuan, "Thanks."

Jiang Chuan raised an eyebrow with a smile, "These are the supporting equipment for Inspector Cheng’s questions. I’m the monitor, so don’t think about bribing me. I’ll record your entire performance and report it truthfully to the inspection station."

Despite the words, it was quite a coincidence that Jiang Chuan happened to be the monitor.

Everyone knew Jiang Chuan was the station chief’s personal bodyguard.

If Ding Yishan was willing to send Jiang Chuan over to supervise, it was partly due to importance, and on the other hand...

"Could it be that Ding Yishan is interested in my proposal?"

Cheng Ye pondered quietly while leaning back in his chair, as Jiang Chuan drove to the civil service office site.

Several staff members swiftly gathered around, quickly swapping the pickup truck’s tires for deep-tread anti-slip off-road tires and charging it fully at the civil service point.

From getting in the vehicle at six-thirty in the morning to arriving at the South Inspection Station at eight-o-five.

Due to the migration tide’s impact, there were currently very few scavengers going out, and not many people were seen in line before the passageway.

Though by regulations, the inspection station’s outbound passage doesn’t open until nine o’clock, Inspectors on a mission are evidently not bound by this limit.

The isolation gate slowly opened, several inspection procedures quickly completed.

By the time Cheng Ye regained his senses, the yellow line symbolizing the boundary between civilization and chaos was already prominently in front of the car’s hood.

The wilderness’s mud was visible to the naked eye as continuous rain carved fine rivulets into the ground, winding into the distance.

Mist hung like a thin veil over the wasteland, with a visibility of only six or seven hundred meters, making the silhouettes of distant trees and the outlines of ruins appear blurred.

"What? Nervous?"

"No." Cheng Ye took a deep breath, put down the documents in his hand, and sat up slightly.

"Let’s go, there’s always a first time."

As the wheels crossed the yellow line, he distinctly felt the car body jolt as if passing through an invisible barrier.

Once he crossed the mental hurdle, there was no expected unease or restlessness, but rather a strong feeling of anticipation and exhilaration, as if emotions suppressed for a long time had finally found an outlet.

He was no longer the gatekeeper watching over this boundary line.

But a pioneer about to step into a new world, searching for those endless possibilities.

Rolling down the window, the wind blew in with moisture, and the air seemed to change.

Gone was the dullness and oppression under the order framework, replaced by the earthy smell, the astringency of wild grass, and a faint, elusive, wild scent belonging to the wilderness!
