。

After a moment of silence, Jing Nan asked tentatively, "What do you mean?" ”

Luo Chen chuckled, "We hope to get some people from the lighthouse, it's not too demanding, as long as there are no obvious physical defects." In return, we'll pay for the technology you need, or we'll give you the finished product at all. ”

"You put it simply, do you know how precious people are in this apocalyptic world?" Charles laughed, "Of course, if the price you give is big enough..."

Luo Chen didn't look at the golden retriever, and the one who could really call the shots was Morgan. The big golden retriever thought that he didn't understand the lamp, and obviously had the idea of sitting on the ground and raising the value.

In fact, when the other people present heard Luo Chen's conditions, they already had some intentions in their hearts, if these people on the ground could give a sufficient price, then it would be okay to sell those useless dust people.

Those are just some genetically inferior parasites, if they can be exchanged for valuable resources, not only can they be regarded as making the best use of things, but also can effectively control the population of the lighthouse, reduce the consumption of resources, and reduce the burden on the lighthouse.

Anyway, the population of the lighthouse is tens of thousands, and the dust people account for seventy or eighty percent. Of course, the premise is that you can't sell too much, otherwise it will be difficult for the lighthouse to run by the people alone.

Morgan was silent for a while, and said, "I don't know how many people you need?" ”

Luo Chen raised his chin and said with a smile: "Between three hundred and a thousand people, but I hope they will voluntarily follow us." In addition, we don't need the elderly and children, what we need is a source of soldiers that can quickly generate combat effectiveness. ”

Mark and Ran Bing listened to the conversation between the two sides, and they had already started to trade the dust people as items, and there was already a trace of resistance in their hearts. However, they are well aware of their current status and do not express their opinions at such times.

Charles chuckled: "Then how much can you give?" ”

"Only if you agree to my proposal, the price can be negotiated slowly." Luo Chen said.

Morgan said, "It's a big deal, can you let us talk about it." ”

Luo Chen chuckled: "Naturally, there is no problem. ”

Morgan nodded: "Could it be please, please stay at the lighthouse first, and we will get back to you as soon as possible after we think about it?" Jingnan, you first arrange the residence of the next two people in the lighthouse. ”

"No problem, Lord Castle." Jingnan stood up and nodded.

Luo Chen was very interested: "Since this is the case, then we will leave first." ”

Morgan got up to send him off, and after Jingnan took Luo Chen and the others out, he turned to look at Mark and said, "Let's report the harvest of this collection mission together." ”

"Understood!" Mark and Ran Bing stood up and began to report......

……

The tall Jingnan walks ahead? On the other hand, he politely introduced some basic information about the lighthouse to Luo Chen and the others. Along the way, many people wearing blue nameplates on their chests took the initiative to greet Jingnan? It can be seen that her status in the lighthouse is not low.

The passage of the lighthouse is mainly circular, and the passage where the three of them are walking now? A steel structure on one side? The other side is just plain glass covered in total, as far as the eye can see? You can look down on the entire lighthouse perimeter and even the terrain on the ground.

"Miss Jingnan? Do you think Lord Morgan will agree to my offer? ”

Luo Chen tilted his head slightly? With a smile, he asked casually.

"I'm sorry, I can't answer this kind of question, the city lord's considerations are not something I can guess."? Gyungnam with a polite smile? She didn't like to trade dust people for resources in her heart, but she knew it wasn't up to her.

Luo Chen continued: "If you don't limit the number of people, and ensure the basic survival guarantee and a certain amount of personal freedom, let those dusters automatically choose to follow me, how many people do you think will follow me to the ground." ”

Jing Nan was stunned? He asked, "To what extent can you achieve the so-called security of survival and personal freedom?" Plenty of food? Basic medical coverage? Strong survivability? Or do they be free to fall in love and start a family? ”

Luo Chen chuckled, "Do you think it's impossible? ”

Jingnan couldn't help but laugh? Shaking his head, "You should know the ground better than we do. The environment on the ground is countless times more dangerous than a lighthouse? Even so, the lighthouse did not dare to relax its grip on the people easily, otherwise it would invite great danger? Where do you get the confidence? ”

Luo Chen said casually: "Even if there are a few thousand more?" Our base is also able to afford it. Do we have a way to shield the Polar Eater's senses? Don't worry about human emotions swinging to attract monsters. We don't lack resources and hands, we only lack soldiers. ”

Jing Nan paused, looked at Luo Chen, and couldn't tell whether what the other party said was true or false from his expression. Assuming that what the other party said is true, it can be said that it is a natural partner with the lighthouse, but there are also great hidden dangers.

If the other party had announced these conditions to the dusters, she could almost imagine the choices made by the dusters who had been discriminated against in the lighthouse.

At that time, the order that the lighthouse has always maintained by the three laws of survival will inevitably be shaken, and it may not be a good thing for the lighthouse.

Her brow furrowed slightly, and she decided that Morgan had to be reminded.

Jing Nan led the way, knocking on the side from time to time, to listen to the so-called base situation in Luo Chen's mouth, Luo Chen's face also did not change, and he ran the train with his mouth full.

For this beauty who can score more than ninety-five points, he has to be kung fu. Of course, after reading the original book, he also knew that it was basically impossible to go to the Dawn Hall with this person, and he was just an outsider to the lighthouse after all.

"Both, this is your abode, and I hope you are satisfied."

Jing Nan opened the two cabins, crossed his arms, and smiled politely at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen took a look, the decoration was neat, but the space was relatively average. But compared to the dusters on the lower deck of the lighthouse, who can only be crowded into containers with a group of people, it should already be considered luxurious, after all, the lighthouse is such a large space.

"Compared to being exposed to the wind and sun on the ground, you have to guard against those monsters all the time, this is already a paradise, how can you not be satisfied." Luo Chen said.

After staying on the ground with Dongfang Undefeated for a month, he was really helpless and smiled bitterly.

He also has two subordinate contract cards, maybe he can contract two big beauties, and then go to the apocalyptic world, the wasteland, and the Jurassic world, which has almost no human beings, it should not be so boring, provided that it is not so easy to die.

"You can hold these two communicators first, and you can contact me at any time if you have any questions or needs. Some parts of the lighthouse are classified areas, so please don't walk around if no one leads you. Sorry, I hope you understand. ”

Jing Nan handed the two communicators to Luo Chen, with an apologetic look on his face.

"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."

Watching Jing Nan leave, Luo Chen's eyes scanned the room, his eyes scanned, and he looked at it carefully, making sure that there was no monitoring equipment, unless the monitoring equipment of the lighthouse could be reduced to the nanometer level.

However, for the sake of prudence, he still took out an instrument, an electromagnetic jammer, with a range of only ten meters, and the electronic equipment within the range will fail.

Dongfang Undefeated leaned against the steel wall, crossed his arms, and asked Luo Chen with an indifferent face: "Why do you want the population of the lighthouse, we don't have so many materials to feed so many people, and it's still on the ground, can we protect them alone?" Compared to these, you might as well get some gravity bodies and laser weapons. ”

Luo Chen walked around the room and found that there was a separate bathroom, nodded with satisfaction, and when he heard Dongfang Undefeated's words, he replied: "Although the gravity body and laser weapons are powerful, the maintenance of these things in the later stage requires a complete set of logistics, which is meaningless to us at all, but you can get some weapon drawings with them, maybe it will be of some use in the future." ”

"As for why do you want those people?"

Luo Chen opened the window, looked at the bottom of the lighthouse, and said calmly: "This month, we have slaughtered three hundred pan-type devouring beasts, and Mana Ecology has not made a counter-attack. One reason may be that the Eater is just a shell, and the number is not important to the Mana ecology, and another reason may be that the life essence we have taken is not enough for him to care about. ”

"In that case, we might as well be bolder, whether it's experience point rewards or life essence, it's a good thing."

He looked at Dongfang Undefeated and smiled: "We have always dared to only attack those extremely small groups of Extreme Devouring Beasts, but the number of small groups is too small, and it is becoming more and more difficult to find.

A large group of more than 100 heads, it is difficult for us to gnaw down, and once entangled, with their resurrection speed, it is easy to be dragged to death. ”

"So, we need some men to strengthen us." Dongfang Undefeated seems to have guessed Luo Chen's intentions.

Luo Chen grinned and said, "Transformative Pole Eaters, or super-sized subspecies Pole Eaters have subordinates, why can't we also make them in batches?" ”

Dongfang Undefeated showed such a look in his eyes, but he frowned and said: "The lighthouse is most likely to exchange the dust people for you, but we all know that the reason why the dust people are dust people, most of them are genetically inferior, do you think they can afford it?" ”

"You forgot that we still have enhancers and my genes, and the genes in my body may be weakened after dilution, but the essence remains the same, and the high-level genes devour and assimilate the low-level genes, resulting in mutations."

Of course, Luo Chen couldn't directly use the genes on his current body, but after he came out of the corpse brother world, he took a lot of blood samples from himself, and used the infectious and erosive nature of the corpse brother virus to ......

Dongfang was undefeated and said: "Even if they don't turn into flesh and soil, but they are not you or Mark after all, their spiritual strength is too weak, even if they succeed in becoming an Extreme Devourer, it is very likely that they will lose their rationality, what is the use of being uncontrolled?" ”

Luo Chen said lightly: "So what? As long as there is a chance of success, it is worth trying, even if it is enough to have a 1 in 10 success rate. ”

Dongfang Undefeated chuckled: "Are you sure they will definitely agree to the exchange?" ”

Luo Chen also smiled: "The only people who can call the lighthouse a human being, the dust people are not valuable, and some of them are just parasites in their eyes, and they can't even be called human untouchables in exchange for more valuable resources, in exchange for you, will you be reluctant?" ”

Dongfang Undefeated smiled indifferently, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

The lighthouse maintains order with the three rules of survival, but no rule can be perfect, and the three rules of survival maintain the continuation of the lighthouse in the apocalypse, which also produces many hidden dangers and helpless problems.

The first of the three rules of survival: hierarchical division.

Through genetic screening, the Shangmin and the dust people are divided into two classes, and the Shangmin have a better living environment, nutritious food, perfect medical security, military training and teaching, and so on...... Contribution points can also be obtained more easily.

The dusters live in containers hanging from the outer ring of the lighthouse, with inferior food, insect cakes, and toil, and can only barely make ends meet every day. More than ninety percent of the dust people don't know what bread and milk taste like until they die.

Once there is an illness, even if there are contribution points, there is no right to enjoy the protection of Shangmin's medical care, and there is no other way but to wait for death.

They don't even have the right to reproduce, they don't have names, they just have numbers.

The deaths and injuries of each collection mission, the dust people are not even counted. No matter how many people died, they would eventually be reported with the word "several".

The second of the three rules of survival: genetic optimization.

In order to improve the survival rate of human beings in the apocalypse, the lighthouse stipulates that only the people with excellent genes can have the right to reproduce, and the dust people with genetic defects have no right to reproduce humans, so as to improve the per capita genetic quality of the lighthouse.

Better genes can resist the erosion of the ecological environment of Zhumana, and at the same time, the ultra-low lesion rate can also greatly reduce the medical burden of the lighthouse.

The breeding task must be arranged according to the lighthouse, and the people of appropriate age have no right to refuse, regardless of the object, otherwise they will be judged to disobey the order of the lighthouse and will be severely punished.

In short, everyone is a breeding tool, a common wife and husband. In this case, most men are fine, but there is a lot of pressure on women.

Luo Chen wondered why they didn't use artificial insemination, this should not be difficult for the lighthouse, maybe all this was arranged by the Lord of Light and Shadow, right?

In addition to the stable birth of genetically good newborns, it will also eliminate some elderly who are judged to be worthless by the life formula, which is used to effectively control the lighthouse population and avoid the pressure of overpopulation on the lighthouse.

The elderly travel far away, to put it bluntly, the lighthouse does not provide elderly care services, and as they are judged to be worthless, whether they are the people of the gods or the dust, they will be thrown directly to the ground, leaving them to fend for themselves, and giving the head of the devouring beast.

The third of the three rules of survival: ban family relations.

Because the mood swings of humans may greatly activate the life essence, which will cause the perception of the Pole Eater, it is forbidden for men and women to fall in love.

If one or two are nothing, but the lighthouse is tens of thousands of people, even if there are only a few thousand couples, the fluctuations will undoubtedly make the lighthouse a big light bulb.

When the time comes, the hunters will not even dare to go down to the ground to collect them.

In order to maintain the first two rules, the existence of family ties must be abolished at the same time, and without the shackles of family affection, people's selfishness and indifference can be better managed.

So there are people born in lighthouses who don't know who their parents are all their lives, and their parents don't know which is their child.

Your child is the child of everyone at Lighthouse?

Luo Chen has no opinion on the so-called three rules of survival.

There is no problem with the survival of the fittest artificially due to the situation.

Although there is no humanity, no morality, and no ethics, it is already very difficult to continue human beings in the apocalyptic world.

Luo Chen and Dongfang Undefeated are not good people, this kind of thing can't even cause them a trace of psychological fluctuations, and their eyes will only wander on the pros and cons when looking at things.

To put it simply, the Dust Folk are really not as good as the beasts in the lighthouse.

Luo Chen believed that the upper echelons of the lighthouse would agree to his deal.

In the next few days, Luo Chen and the others have been wandering around the lighthouse at will, but every time someone follows them, it is obvious that the lighthouse is not completely at ease with them.

The tube of KW74 improved reinforcing agent given to the lighthouse before has also been analyzed by the Ecological Research Institute, including the effect has also been proved by experiments.

The conference room, the upper floors of the lighthouse are almost all there.

City Lord Morgan.

Lighthouse Control Room Commander Jing Nan.

About Charles, the head of the Church.

Commander of the City Defense Corps, Chaviktor, Captain Mark of the Hunters.

Engineer Jessica, Ecology Institute Carrie......

The status is a little lower, such as Ran Bing, etc., are not qualified to step here.

"The results of the preliminary detection and analysis have been obtained, although we have not yet figured out the composition ratio, but the basic element components have been analyzed, and the final effect has been experimentally proven." Carrie announced some data to the crowd.

Victor's face was gloomy, and he questioned: "How did you conduct experiments to prove the effect, and did you experiment with living people again?" ”

All eyes are on Carrie, and this practice also disgusts them.

Carrie glanced at Charles, and saw that the other party didn't react at all, so she sneered sarcastically, but the person used in the experiment was given to her by the other party.

"The people on the ground are not lying, after the use of that kind of potion, whether it is physical strength, reaction speed, brain thinking, there is a very amazing increase, the cell activity is also very amazing, and the recovery power is very terrifying."

"But the flaw is also obvious, in the absence of root adjustment of genes, this amazing performance is achieved by depleting the body's potential, and the end result is a decrease in vitality, memory decline, and accelerated decay of bodily functions."

"In other words, with the use of these medicines, you can have a strong physical ability for a short time, but because you are still human in nature, the side effects are also large?"

"That's right?" Carrie said nonchalantly.

"How strong can this potion go?" Mark asked.

"In terms of the results presented by the experiment, the overall physical fitness is at least three times that of the hunter." Carrie said with a smile on her lips.

"Shhh

Although the side effects of this booster may seem great, this value also makes them realize how useful it is for hunters to be in danger every time they carry out a ground gathering mission, and at a critical moment of life and death.

Compared to bringing back a corpse, there is no doubt that a super soldier who can last for quite some time is more valuable.

"Can we make this potion?" Morgan asked.

Jiali shrugged her shoulders: "It's a pity that although we have almost analyzed many of the original components in it, with the current conditions of the lighthouse and the ecological environment on the ground, it is almost impossible to obtain complete raw materials." ”

Charles seemed to be a little skeptical: "How did those people on the ground make them?" ”

Carrie smiled mockingly, "I guess they have their own complete ecosystem, which can restore some ecological plants in the old world. ”

Morgan was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "I remember that Mr. Luo mentioned that in addition to technology, you can also exchange finished products, right?" ”

"Jingnan, you go and invite him to come over."

Jing Nan nodded: "I'll go over now, Lord City." ”
