Chapter 76 Gradually Mark knew everything
It was getting dark, in the central command hall...
During the day, Elon, the chief instructor of the Hunter, and Mark, the leader of the Hunter team, who were full of majesty in front of all the formal members and reserve members of the Hunter, bowed slightly here and said in unison:
"I have seen it, Lord City Lord." x2 Opposite them were the old city lord Morgan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and Victor, who was almost inseparable from the old city lord.
Morgan waved for Elon to get up, and then said nothing, just looking at Elon silently.
The authorities are obsessed with the bystanders. Compared to Mark, Elon as a bystander should be able to give a relatively more objective description.
And Elon was also very conscious, and when he opened his mouth, he told what the city lord wanted to know.
"According to Mark's test, ground survivor Wu He..."
Instructor Elon's narrative is not long and very concise. Overall, it has one meaning - Wu He is trustworthy and can be given a certain opportunity for assessment.
The commander of Morgan City did not say anything about this, and the long silence was in the dimly lit central command hall, as if darkness extended to the surroundings.
After a long time, City Lord Morgan spoke again, breaking the silence...
"Mark? What do you think?"
"I?"
Hearing the city lord suddenly mentioning him, Mark, who thought that his coming was just a formality, was a little confused, but he soon came to his senses, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"I think he is very smart, but a little self-centered. He doesn't seem to pay much attention to things that have nothing to do with him."
"But on the contrary, as long as he is really involved, he will be very interested in it."
"If Lighthouse can be bound to him, with the power he possesses, that would definitely be Lighthouse's luck."
Hearing Mark's high opinion of Wu He, City Lord Morgan also nodded slightly. In the end, he did not comment aloud, waved his hand to indicate that the two of them could leave, and then controlled the mechanical wheelchair to turn around and leave, while Wei Ke Duo followed closely and turned to leave.
Still looking at the retreating back of City Lord Morgan, Mark recalled what Wu He said after the duel in the morning. He really couldn't help it. He almost didn't move forward and said continuously:
"Lord City Lord, Mark still has something to report..."
Mark's voice also directly stopped City Lord Morgan from moving forward, but he didn't turn around and waved, just signaling Mark to speak.
"According to the information provided by Wu He, a survivor on the ground, there are core spiritual breath seeds in the body of the pole-devouring beast. Destroying or removing the spiritual breath seeds can completely kill the pole-devouring beast."
"The item that Wu He, the previous ground survivor, had in his hand when he was in the central command hall was the Spirit Breath Seed."
"During training this morning, the ground survivor Wu He shared the information related to the Spirit Breath Seeds to the Hunter team. If the information is true, the teaching materials for the Hunter Reserves in the Lighthouse may need to be reprinted on a large scale. I hope the City Lord Your Majesty’s instructions…”
The teaching materials for dealing with the Devouring Beast in the lighthouse mainly focus on how to cut off the head of the Devouring Beast, delaying the recovery time of the Devouring Beast as much as possible, and infer the approximate recovery of the Devouring Beast based on its injuries and species. time.
If the core of the Spiritual Breath Seed does exist, and destroying and removing the Spiritual Breath Seed can completely kill the Extreme Devouring Beast, then all the experiences summarized in the past cannot be said to be useless, but they will basically have to be overturned and restarted.
This is not just an internal work within the Hunters, it requires coordination between various departments of the lighthouse. Otherwise, Mark and Elon can actually make the decision, and there is no need to ask the city lord for instructions.
However, Mark still has a certain degree of confidence in this matter. After all, even if the focus of the teaching materials changes, the combat part actually does not change much.
After all, it is feasible to kill the pole-devouring beast first, and then destroy or dig out the spiritual breath seeds. The workload is actually not as large as one might , it can also greatly reduce the casualties of the lighthouse. There is no reason why the city lord would disagree with something that is beneficial to the lighthouse.
But the next moment, the city lord's answer made Mark look stunned.
"No, there is no need to change the teaching materials. I already knew about the existence of spiritual breath seeds. Destroying this thing will not do any good to the lighthouse..."
"why?"
Facing Mark's stunned and puzzled eyes, Lord Morgan stretched out his finger and tapped the armrest of the wheelchair to signal Mark and himself to come over. Then he waved his hand to signal Victor that he wanted to talk to Mark alone.
Victor didn't hesitate at all about the city lord's decision, and just walked aside.
Mark and City Lord Morgan walked to another place.
……
"Squeak~"
Listening to the sound of the door closing behind him, Lord Morgan did not turn his head to look at Mark. He looked at the starry sky reflected outside the transparent glass outside the room in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Mark, are you curious why I already knew something but didn't share the inside of the Taoist Lighthouse?"
In response to this, Morgan responded with the sound of Mark's approaching footsteps. Mark didn't know what to say, so he didn't speak.
And Morgan obviously expected Mark's after a moment of silence, he spoke:
"Mark, do you know why the three laws of the lighthouse exist?"
After hearing City Lord Morgan's question, Mark was silent for a moment, and then said:
"In order to ensure the distribution of materials to the lighthouse in the apocalypse of Mana, everything must serve the normal operation of the lighthouse and the survival of lighthouse humans."
These were all taught by Mark's teacher when he was a child, and Mark knew it very well. At the very least, if Mark was asked to distribute lighthouse supplies, Mark would never be competent.
Even Mark couldn't imagine how the lighthouse could survive today if it didn't follow the is precisely because of this powerlessness that Mark has always disliked the three laws and has never thought of resisting.
Because he knows that if he doesn't have a better way, overthrowing a time-tested system will only push the lighthouse into another abyss...
When Morgan heard Mark's answer, he turned around in his wheelchair, looked at Mark with his head lowered, and nodded happily.
But immediately, the expression on Morgan's face suddenly became serious, he nodded, and then shook his head.
"The three laws are indeed true, but they are not just that..."
"Oh?"
Suddenly hearing that the three laws seemed to have other meanings, Mark suddenly raised his head, and his bright eyes looked at the old city lord's cloudy eyes, as if times were intersecting at this moment. "Before talking about this~ Mark, you have been fighting against the Devouring Beast for so many years, have you ever discovered a habit of the Devouring Beast?"
Hearing this, Mark frowned and thought about the various behaviors of the pole-devouring beasts on the ground. He didn't quite understand how this was related to the three laws.
But there was no need for Mark to think too much. Soon the old city lord revealed the answer.
"The Devouring Beast relies on people's emotions to lock people's positions. Once people burst out with strong emotions, they will be as conspicuous as a beacon in the dark in the eyes of the Devouring Beast and Spin Gu. At that time, the Devouring Beast will It will pounce on you like a cat that smells fishy smell, try your best to kill everyone and suck out all the life essence..."
As he spoke, as if to improve the persuasiveness of his conclusion, Morgan turned his wheelchair again and came to a desk inside the house. He opened the drawer behind the desk and took out several palm-sized photos and photographed them on the table. Xing said: "Look Mark, this is the image of the pole-devouring beasts on the ground captured by the lighthouse's camera observing the ground conditions during the time before Hong Kou's death."
Hearing this, Mark also lowered his head, walked to the desk, and picked up the photos.
The first thing that caught my eye was the date marked on the top of the photo, and a complex expression suddenly appeared in Mark's eyes.
Mark will never forget this date until his death. It was the date when his sister, the former Hunter commander Hong Kou, died. On that day, Mark saw with his own eyes the person closest to him disappeared in the flames...
He took a deep breath to adjust his emotions and began to look at the pictures in these photos reading the first picture, Mark's expression suddenly changed, and his whole person felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Looking back at the photos one by one, until he saw the end, Mark slapped the photo in his hand on the table and looked at the calm-looking City Lord Morgan behind the desk with a look of surprise. He hesitated for a moment before continuing to speak. road:
"Are these true? In this case, why doesn't the city lord make this news public? If it is made public, it should be able to reduce many unnecessary casualties..."
The image content on the photo is very small and very simple. They are all pictures of the Extreme Devouring Beast.
Mark, the ordinary pole-devouring beast, has seen too much, so naturally he won't feel the problem is that it's not just an ordinary pole-devouring beast. In the photo, there is a king-level pole-devouring beast that is as huge as a mountain. It is standing on the mountain and roaring at the camera or the lighthouse.
You must know that the normal flying height of the lighthouse is in the stratosphere, which is a full [-] meters above the height is probably no more obvious from the ground than when a black pen is clicked on the Qingming Riverside Map.
Forget about the king-level pole-devouring beasts, why would those ordinary pole-devouring beasts find the lighthouse in the sky? !
Was it really the outburst of emotion that attracted these pole-devouring beasts?But in this case, why doesn't the city lord make this kind of thing public? ! The matter at this moment was of great importance, even related to the lives of his teammates, so Mark unconsciously had a hint of questioning in his tone.
This emotion is normal. After all, the most feared thing in actual combat is poor information. The number of pole-eating beasts is constantly increasing. Even if our information database is not updated, are you still suppressing the most important information and not sending it?Isn't this purely harmful? ! Morgan obviously knew that this question would come back sooner or later, so he was not angry or showed any other emotions. He just remained silent for a moment and said:
"If the lighthouse can really be twisted into a rope, then the disclosure of this information will naturally be beneficial and harmless, but if not, then this is a double-edged sword that is likely to stab you..."
As he spoke, Morgan threw out a file bag again. The file bag was very heavy and made a dull sound when it landed on the table.
Looking at the file bag in front of him, Mark opened it directly without any hesitation.
After opening it, Mark discovered that it was Charles' file.
At least there will be some confusion, why did the city lord take out Charles' file report?Did Charles do something?
Thinking back to what City Lord Morgan said just now about "twisting the lighthouse into a rope" and what Instructor Elon had been telling him to be careful about "other people", Mark couldn't help but murmur in his heart...
Although Mark also felt displeased with Charles, and most of the top leaders of the lighthouse were basically the same, Mark still felt that it shouldn't be the case.
The only thing left of mankind is the lighthouse. Even Mark has imagined whether there are survivors on the ground and has the example of Wu He as evidence. But Mark also knows that the survivors on the ground in other places may not be half as many as the lighthouse. many.
There are only three melons and two jujubes left on the entire earth. Mark thinks that Charles is a smart man no matter what, and there is no need to engage in infighting at this time.
After opening the file, Mark became even more confused.
Because what is described in the file is basically some normal interactions, it is just a file of Charles's activities to visit various middle and high-level officials. If you didn't know better, you would probably think that this was Charles' action plan.
The list of these personnel includes the Light and Shadow Society, the city defense army, scientific research institutes, junior school senior officials, and some hunters who are not familiar with Mark...
Basically, all major functions of the lighthouse have some connection with Charles.
However, Mark didn't feel there was any problem with this. After all, isn't light and shadow just to maintain the stability of people in the lighthouse?As the leader of the meeting, the guy Charles running around is completely in line with his personality.
And seeing Mark looking so Lord Morgan couldn't help but let out a long he knocked on the table and said: "There seems to be no problem with forming cliques. If he is declared to be the city lord, then this large force will naturally help him."
"But if he doesn't become the city lord, what will this power become?"
After hearing what City Lord Morgan said, Mark understood it no matter how stupid he he still doesn't quite believe that this happened, and he still wants to fight for power?Could it be that they really thought their hunter team had brought too many resources? ! "But, but, but..."
Mark wanted to say something and angrily denounced the absurdity of this matter, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
He and Charles had never dealt with each other, so naturally they knew him very well. It was almost universally known that that guy coveted the position of city City Lord Morgan’s suggestion, Mark also understood why the City Lord did not make this moment public…
Now it’s Charles, in the past it could have been someone else…
It is simply not a good deal to bribe a commoner, just lose your temper, and use your emotions to assassinate one or even a group of hunters who are bound to go to the ground...
By this time, Mark had completely ignored his original has already begun to think about how to screen the people on the ground. The main reason is that such a suggestion is a bit too scary. It involves the lives of his teammates. He cannot and does not dare to take this risk...
Looking at Mark, whose brain was already occupied by all kinds of other messy thoughts, the old city lord Morgan nodded slightly. This was the effect he wanted, but he did not avoid the question asked by Mark before, so it was also in this Mark I answered when I had no time to think about anything else:
"As for the problem of spiritual breath seeds you mentioned, I do know this. But Mark, you also need to know that spiritual breath seeds are of no use to humans. On the contrary, too much contact with them will only pollute human beings. genes."
"And if the spiritual breath seeds are destroyed, the life essence contained in them will naturally flow to the ground and be collected again by the Mana Flower. Killing them is meaningless."
"After losing the spiritual breath seeds, the pole-devouring beast turns into soil, and the soil will directly invade the inside of the machine and destroy the structure of the machine or the machine."
"Therefore, the existence of spiritual breath seeds is meaningless to the lighthouse..."
Let's talk, Lord Morgan waved his hand to signal Mark to leave, and Mark, who was now confused in his mind, bowed to Lord Morgan vigorously after getting everything he wanted to know, and then turned around and left.
Now Mark needs to be alone and sort out the knowledge he has gained today. It is best to discuss it with someone. Yes, Ran Bing is Ran Bing...
……
Marde, I coded 1 words in one day, and the manuscript has finally come to the end of the spirit cage chapter. You can guess what the ending is.
You guessed it, I will add more when the time comes...
