There are five days until the checkpoint reopens.

Cheng Ye wasn't in a hurry, and after training, he took Wang Kang back to the medical center to rest.

According to Miao Yang's assessment, even if Wang Kang trained with all his might every day for the next few days, it would be impossible for him to grasp the essence of the standard combat skills in just three days like Miao Yang did back then.

Since improving fundamental abilities cannot be achieved overnight, making Wang Kang truly understand "why he fights" may be more important for now than his martial arts skills.

As for the direction of martial power improvement, Cheng Ye already had plans. Just like Liu Bi taught him before, he reserved one hour each afternoon specifically for shooting practice.

Improving shooting skills increases survival chances much more than close-range combat.

"Brother Cheng, I'm going to sleep."

Back in the room, Wang Kang still had a few traces of excitement from training on his face, with eyes shining in naive longing for the future, clearly not understanding what he was about to face.

"Go ahead." Cheng Ye waved his hand.

After Wang Kang's door closed, he turned around, took a shower, and comfortably lay back in the big bed, continuing to read the books left behind by Uncle Dong under the light.

As for the books related to the extraordinary that the inspectors delivered during the day, he wasn't in a hurry to read them.

Such power, though tempting, was ultimately not something to consider at the moment.

He needed to first understand all the potential dangers to avoid premature celebration with champagne.

The night passed without words.

The alarm rang on time at seven o'clock, and Cheng Ye turned over to get up.

He lifted his shirt to check his injuries; areas that were slightly red yesterday had completely returned to a normal flesh color, while the black and red bruised zones marked on the report had turned a deeper shade of red, recovering at an astonishing speed.

He tried pressing on the previously sharp pain points, originally sharp stabs had reduced to a dull, numb feeling.

"At this rate, I'll be back to peak condition the day after tomorrow!"

Cheng Ye calculated silently in his mind.

According to the initial expectations of the experts, such injuries should take at least a full month to heal.

Now it was condensed down to just five days; the recovery boost from the Wild Grass Physique amounted to a sixfold increase.

Exaggerated.

Yet it completely met his prior expectations.

After all, the direct boost from the Wild Grass Physique was already astonishing, not to mention its primary effects.

"With this, I can use the Iron Body recklessly without worrying about getting injured!"

Cheng Ye felt a slight joy in his heart.

He tapped on the Defense Communication and found that the 72-hour communication restriction was lifted at 7 a.m. as well.

However, it seemed quite crowded with people making calls at that moment, and it wasn't until 7:06 that he managed to dial Long's number.

"Long, gather some people today to help me with something."

Thinking for a moment, Cheng Ye added, "It would be best if you or Er Long could oversee it personally, so nothing goes wrong."

"Sir, just give the orders! The big demolition on Walking Street has been running smoothly these past two days, and I'm quite free."

Long's voice, as usual, carried a tone of cheerful straightforwardness.

Cheng Ye liked having this kind of obedient and capable subordinate, and if there was a chance in the future, he would definitely train him well!

"Good!"

He cleared his throat, "Which part of the Buffer Zone is the most chaotic, nastiest, and most dangerous now?"

"Uh...what kind are you referring to?"

"Literally. A place where people are willing to risk everything and use any means to climb up."

"That would be the slum area to the south."

Long immediately replied, "That place is full of scavengers, nine out of ten are desperadoes, and most of the recent troubles have originated from there."

"Alright, I have a young brother who hasn't seen the evils of human nature yet. Can you take him for some exposure?"

"No problem, sir!" Long agreed readily, but hesitated before saying, "But it's truly dangerous over there, many people pull out weapons at the slightest disagreement. Sir, this young brother of yours needs to follow my arrangements to avoid any accidents."

"Don't worry, I'll make everything clear to him."

Cheng Ye carefully instructed on a few points of caution before hanging up the phone.

Since the good in people shackles the evil, why not let Wang Kang first see the extent of the world's evil?

Moreover, such worldly experience cannot be done with Cheng Ye there, otherwise, Wang Kang would inevitably develop dependency or even secretly compete.

It must be someone like Long, a local, who steps up, so he can truly get immersed.

Long knows the rules there, who to provoke, and which pitfalls to avoid, even when to give a nudge.

Thud.

Walking to the next door, Cheng Ye knocked.

"Brother Cheng?" Wang Kang's voice came from inside, groggy from sleep.

"Get up and wash up, I've arranged a course for you in a while."

"Coming right up!"

Wang Kang's action power was indeed impressive, taking no more than ten minutes to appear neatly dressed at the door, his eyes still filled with anticipation for a new day's training.

"What are we practicing today?"

"Not practicing fists or shooting this morning," Cheng Ye waved his hand. "I've asked a friend to take you around the Buffer Zone to see the world. Getting a sense of the situation in this area will only benefit your future work as an Inspector."

"That's great!" Wang Kang's eyes lit up, excited at once.

Having been confined in the intern training camp, he had long been curious about the Buffer Zone.

Seeing his innocent look, Cheng Ye's mouth twitched. He hoped the kid would still be smiling by the evening.

It didn't take long before Long arrived with ten trusted men at the entrance of the medical center.

Apart from Long, Cheng Ye recognized the other ten from those who had accompanied him to clear the infection tide that night.
