Chapter 68 Hall Meeting The central command hall is extremely spacious. Sunlight shines into the hall through the strong translucent glass on the ceiling, illuminating the entire central command hall.
Some metal ornaments on the walls of the central command hall emitted a golden light to the surroundings under the illumination of this light. They were so gorgeous that they did not look like a scene from the end of the world.
However, considering that these decorations are the least valuable in the end of the world, gold and silver have to be broken off to make solutions or reagents. It is better to decorate them here to occupy space elsewhere. Wu He was slightly relieved.
Then Wu He's eyes swept around, and the buildings were all swept away, but the people standing around caught Wu He's eyes.
A group of city defense troops with live ammunition stood around the central command hall, and if Wu He's hearing was correct, there were some sounds of metal collisions and electronic prompts faintly heard in the invisible addition to those holding guns, there should be several city defense gravity body guards it comes to preventing emergencies from happening, these guys seem to be quite cautious.
However, it is appropriate to be so cautious. After all, the people standing in the central command hall are the leaders of the lighthouse. Without this group of people, I am afraid that if the number of people in other lighthouses doubles, the lighthouse will not be able to continue normal navigation.
Mark, Jing Nan and Wu He were the latest people to arrive, and everyone else who participated in the lighthouse core meeting had arrived.
Basically, everyone was a little surprised when they saw Wu He wearing a volunteer uniform. His eyes were as if he were looking at some precious animal. However, it goes without saying that the self-control ability of this group of elites is so good that they are almost the same. For a moment, they suppressed their inner astonishment and continued to stand up straight, with serious expressions and straight backs.
Looking across the people in the central command hall, Wu He could see clearly divided camps with just one glance.
First of all, there is the city lord Morgan, who is sitting on the seat on the high stairs, and his confidant Victor, the commander-in-chief of the city defense army. These two guys are very easy to recognize, after all, they stand in a very special are considered the force of the older generation, with the highest status and the most momentum here.
However, the people guarded by these two people all had a sense of rigidity, and Wu He could clearly feel the heavy air from a distance of dozens of meters.
After that, there is the hunter instructor weapons management and other supply chain who are obviously on the same side with Mark, that is, Mark's old instructor, the old instructor who is about to leave, and Jing Nan and others.
Then there are Charles and other people from the Light and Shadow Society.
Both of these two people are candidates who may become the new city lord, and they belong to the emerging forces of the lighthouse. Although some people do not have that consciousness, the alignment has indeed begun between the two.
Regarding this situation, Mark's old instructor and Charles, who is proficient in maneuvering, should have noticed it a long time ago, but Mark himself is indeed unaware of it. If things go on like this, Mark will definitely suffer.
It's best to let one person suffer a loss for this kind of thing. A long lesson is the best way to learn. However, the old instructor in the original book probably didn't have time, so he would personally educate Mark. It's a pity that Mark didn't learn it... …
After scanning these groups of people, Wu He also turned his gaze to the last group of people.
Finally, there is the technology department headed by Carrie, the director of medical and ecological technology in Lighthouse, who performed Mark’s surgery in the original work.
This group is a neutral faction. They will not participate in the selection of new and old forces and new city lords. After all, the people in charge of the lighthouse are changing. As long as the Mana ecology exists, they must not ignore the development of technology, so they will be right. It is impossible to attack them.
If that's the case, why bother fighting for meaningless power?In this apocalyptic environment, just surviving and researching have consumed most of people's energy. Don't you feel tired doing these nonsense things...
Wu He's behavior of scanning the surroundings did not last long, because the meeting officially started not long after the arrival of Wu He and the others.
The late City Lord Morgan, who was already sitting in the highest position, saw that everyone had arrived and started the meeting directly without any unnecessary nonsense:
"let's start."
In response to this, Victor, the commander-in-chief of the city defense forces standing next to City Lord Morgan, also straightened his back and started a fixed process.
"The first thing is that departments start reporting."
In response, Mark stepped forward in a familiar manner, recalled the information he had seen before and summarized the report: "Reporting to the city lord, the materials collected by the hunters this time mainly include controllable energy, compressed food, rare metals, as well as old world scientific research equipment and scientific research data."
"After statistics, it can increase the flight power of the lighthouse for at least two months. It will also be of great help to the progress of scientific research in the lighthouse..."
Mark's supplies were not just obtained from the shelter all, Wu He still knows how much stuff there is in the warehouse. There is a lot of energy or experimental materials, but food and other things cannot be complimented...
In fact, unless the hunting operations are carried out in special areas such as military bases, suburban hospitals or factories far away from urban areas, other hunting operations in urban areas are basically not carried out. Targeting a specific place, but searching over a large area for a long time...
This approach can easily cause injuries to hunting there is no way. If they don't do this, the harvest of each hunting trip will not even be compared with the cost of their coming down... After listening to Mark's situation, the city lord Morgan nodded, while he stood still and hunted in boredom. Carrie, who yawned, immediately cheered up after hearing something about scientific research.
However, it was reporting time, and even though she had a certain respect for City Lord Morgan, she did not turn around and leave directly to see the so-called instruments and data that Mark brought back.
Morgan raised his chin slightly, nodded to indicate that this was clear, and then began the following process.
"Report the battle damage."
"This trip to the ground encountered a sudden attack by two groups of pole-devouring beasts, Snake Dog and Earth Roar. Fortunately, the herd was not large and there were no large-scale pole-devouring beasts. Also, with the help of the ground survivors Wu He brothers, this battle Not much damage.”
"According to statistics, 13 dust people died, several people were injured, 17 people were slightly injured, [-] people were seriously injured, and no one died..."
When Wu He heard his name being called, Wu He, who had been playing with the spirit seeds in his hand, straightened up quickly, and then he looked into the cloudy eyes of the old city lord Morgan.
In fact, the thing in Wu He's hand was not allowed to be brought into the conference room at the beginning. After all, if Wu He had a bomb in his hand, he would be done with it.
Even if it is not a bomb, as a long-range throwing weapon, after two and a half years of training, it may be able to cause some damage to the city lord and have to guard against it.
Wu He didn't show any resistance to this at first. After all, their suspicion was normal. These guys wouldn't use this thing anyway, so there would be no loss in letting others take Wu He.
However, the old city lord saw what was going on here and allowed Wu He to enter the hall, and then the city defense army allowed Wu He to enter.
From this, Wu He had to suspect that the so-called Morgan City Lord might know the existence of the Spiritual Breath since the old city lord knew it, why didn't he reveal this information to other people in the lighthouse?If the Spiritual Breath Seed is not destroyed, there will be no real damage to the Devouring Beast, and the Mana ecology will not be truly damaged.
According to the original book, Lord Morgan asked if the corpse was brought back, which obviously means that he understands the role of the source of life in the ecology of Mana.
Since they will deliberately reduce the delivery of life essence to the ground, why not inform the hunters of the existence of spiritual breath seeds?How can this really reduce the effective force of Mana's ecology? In the original book, Morgan is a complete Riddler, and many things are not explained clearly at , Wu He also had a lot of doubts, but he didn't take this matter to heart.
Just as City Lord Morgan knew about Boss Bai and other survivors on the ground, but kept it secret and gave an explanation after Mark found out, it is not false that although City Lord Morgan had selfish motives, he did contribute to the survival of the lighthouse.
It may be to maintain orthodox human genes, or it may be some other idea...
Although Morgan is indeed a bit stubborn in his thinking, a more powerful person would not be considered a human are also selfish motives. Victor, the commander-in-chief of the city defense, is his old comrade-in-arms who has been through life and death; Charles, the leader of the Light and Shadow Association, is his son; Jing Nan, the commander-in-chief of the navigation control room, is his adopted daughter; the previous hunter commander is his student; just Mark doesn't have much to do with conspiracy theories are not very relevant to him...
After all, the spirit cage is not Hokage. Before fighting for power and profit, you still have to consider how to survive.
In the face of survival, the so-called conspiracy seems a bit feeble...
What's more, regardless of whether Morgan knew about the existence of the Spiritual Breath Seed or not, if Wu He brought this thing in, he must have had the psychological expectation that Wu He would expose the news...
Since the next actions of Zi Zi and Wu He are acquiesced, this round of testing by Wu He can be considered a success...
"I guess this news should be able to exchange for a lot of credit points. It should be enough for me to practice peacefully on the lighthouse for a while..."
"Practice hard and you will become stronger. As long as you have enough strength, you won't need to worry about all these twists and turns. In the final analysis, you still don't have enough strength..."
Of course, even though he was thinking this, Wu He couldn't help but mutter in his heart:
"Old guy, he doesn't want to take the initiative to say anything. He hides everything. He's not afraid that if he accidentally dies that day, he will take everyone into the coffin with him..."
The look between Wu He and the old city lord Morgan did not last long, and they immediately of them seemed to read something from each other's eyes, but neither said anything, and listened tacitly to Mark's account of everything that had happened before.
