"This is a wilderness hunter, please answer if you receive it."

"Captain Mark, this is the command room!"

"The gathering mission is complete, and the hunter has asked to return."

"Captain Mark, welcome back, we've lowered the ES01 lift."

Luo Chen and Mark sat in the same car, and as the convoy was moving, they could already see a huge floating structure in the distance, like a combination of a flying saucer and a spinning top. Reality and video are completely different experiences.

"Mr. Luo, is your gathering place on this continent?"

"No, we came to this continent to explore."

"How did you get that power, uh... If it is inconvenient to answer, please forgive me. Ran Bing saw Mark's eyes and stuck out his tongue.

Luo Chen had already prepared a set of words for the people of the lighthouse, but he did not refuse to answer: "We have obtained the biotechnology of the humans of the old world, developed a genetic medicine for the ecology of the new world, and adjusted the genes, which can make us immune to infection, and we can also have the power to face monsters." ”

Mark and Ran Bing glanced at each other and saw the vibration in each other's eyes.

These words will certainly be communicated to the upper echelons of the lighthouse.

The convoy slowly stopped, looking at the huge sci-fi building overhead, Luo Chen and Dongfang Undefeated were amazed in their hearts, but they remained silent on the surface.

The platform of one of the lighthouse's lifts had fallen, and as the locked steel baffle opened, a number of masked and uniformed figures were revealed.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

"The convoy reverses into storage, and the dust moves quickly!"

Luo Chen and Dongfang Undefeated followed Mark out of the car, and the people in the lifting platform walked out under the leadership of a strong old man with white hair and beard.

"Hey boy, congratulations on making it back alive!"

"If you don't curse me, maybe I'll be unlucky." Mark stepped forward and smiled and bumped the old man on the shoulder. Elon's gaze fell on Luo Chen and the others behind Mark, and he whispered, "They are the humans on the ground?" ”

"You all know?" Mark said.

Elon smiled: "The city lord is waiting for you, we have long judged that there are no human beings on the ground, and now that we have made a discovery, we have to pay attention to it." ”

As all the vehicles and people climbed the platform, the lighthouse raised the platform and quickly drove off the ground. Mark is not good at words, Ran Bing's mind is not old enough, and Elon, an old man who is a little ruffian, follows Luo Chen with a stubble of words.

"Look! It's the Hunter back! ”

"Captain Mark!"

The Hunter's vehicle carrying supplies and personnel slowly drove along the aisle outside the lighthouse, and all the people in the aisle, whether it was the people or the dust people, showed great respect and enthusiasm for Mark and the Hunter.

As a gathering of supplies on the perilous ground? An important force to keep the lighthouse alive? The reputation of the Hunter among the lighthouses is very high.

A sloppy man looked at the convoy and said, "Huh? It seems that this time the same is not very rewarding? I don't know how long the lighthouse can fly. ”

The companion next to him said, "The hunters are bringing fewer and fewer supplies. ”

One woman was a little dissatisfied: "If it weren't for Captain Mark and them, the lighthouse would have been grounded a long time ago?" No one on the ground can live, but can they still live? Be content! ”

These people all have green nameplates on their chests? Are they at the bottom of the lighthouse, known as the dust people, doing the lowest jobs, eating unnutritious worm cakes? Not eligible to reproduce? Without the opportunity to get an education, I live like a cockroach.

And above them, the cleanly clothed and dignified people also looked at the hunters. They wear blue nameplates on their chests and are known as Lighthouse Keepers. Because of the genetic screening mechanism? They can be called human beings compared to the earthly people.

Their gaze swept over the cheering dusters in disgust? A good-looking woman sneered, "The hunter risked his life to finally bring back this little material? And give it to these parasites, why! ”

"Humph! Should the city lord banish them to the ground and feed them to the devouring beasts? The lighthouse's resources cannot be wasted. The male companion standing next to the woman was full of disdain.

The haughty people despise and hate the mortals? It's a basic routine.

"Who are those two? Why among the Hunters? ”

"yes, I don't think I've seen them before?"

Someone noticed the two strangers, Luo Chen and Dongfang Undefeated, and there was a lot of discussion. Although the upper echelons of the lighthouse already knew about it, there was no need to tell the public.

"Let's go to the material distribution room first, and then I'll take two more to meet the city lord." Mark waved at the enthusiastic crowd as he said to Luo Chen.

After a short time together, he saw that Luo Chen was the dominant among the two, and as for the other person who he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, he barely said a word from beginning to end, and his temperament seemed extremely indifferent.

Luo Chen nodded, and suddenly asked: "Captain Mark, according to what you said, you have been relying on the materials collected from the ground to survive, but the materials of the old world will be collected one day, are you ready for other ways out?" ”

When Mark heard this, he was silent and said, "This is what the city lord should consider, I am only the captain of the hunters, and I have no right to decide anything." ”

Luo Chen smiled: "This is not accurate. Your reputation in the lighthouse is high. ”

Mark listened to this point-in-the-point, smiled, and did not respond.

……

In the lighthouse material distribution room, as the convoy began to classify and process materials according to the command, Mark and Ran Bing also took Luo Chen and the others to leave the outer layer.

"Captain Mark!"

I met a woman with long black hair, delicate appearance, and a sassy temperament, and she walked over with a smiling shadow.

"The lord of the city has asked me to lead you to the council hall."

Mark smiled: "I shouldn't have such a big face to let the commander of the control room greet me personally, you should be for these two, right?" ”

With a smile, Jing Nan looked at Luo Chen and Dongfang Undefeated, and her pure Oriental appearance made her eyes flash a hint of discoloration: "I am Jing Nan, the commander of the lighthouse control room, welcome the two of you to the lighthouse." ”

Luo Chen smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

……

The Lord's Study.

Bookshelves, pianos, long tables, fully transparent glass background.

It doesn't look very formal, but it gives people a kind and honest attitude.

An old man with gray hair sat on a chair, he looked at Luo Chen and Dongfang Undefeated, and his voice was flat: "Welcome to the lighthouse, guests on the ground." ”

Mark whispered that this was the leader of the lighthouse, the city lord Morgan.

Standing beside him was a middle-aged man in uniform, with a mechanical prosthetic leg on his right arm and a burn on the side of his face.

He is the commander of the Lighthouse City Defenses, Victor.

In addition, there is also a handsome man with golden hair who is exquisitely dressed, has a haughty gaze, and has an elegant posture.

Charles, the head of the Church of Light and Shadow on the lighthouse, is the son of the city lord.

A casually dressed woman, in her forties and fifties, she tilted her head, and kept staring at Luo Chen and Dongfang Undefeated when they entered the door, unconcealing the eagerness in her eyes.

She is Carrie, the director of the Lighthouse Ecological Research Institute, and to some extent she is also a scientific lunatic, who dares to use her husband and children as experiments.

They are all high-level lighthouses, and they obviously take it very seriously.

Luo Chen smiled and said, "Hello, Morgan City Lord. ”

"Please be seated, guest." Morgan smiled kindly.

Luo Chen and Dongfang were undefeated, and they each found a place to sit down, and Mark, Jing Nan and others also took their own seats.

Morgan got straight to the point: "I've heard some of the things from Mark, but I still have some doubts and want to ask the two of you to answer them. ”

"Please, I won't hide what I can say." Luo Chen said.

The implication is that I don't think I can say it, and I won't answer it.

Several people on the lighthouse side had different expressions.

Morgan smiled and said calmly: "I'm curious, the ecology on the ground is no longer suitable for human survival, we have enough evidence to confirm this, and you say that there is already a human ecology on the ground to adapt to?" ”

Luo Chen nodded: "Isn't there already a living example in front of you?" ”

Jia Li raised her head and squinted her eyes: "We have always thought that the humans on the lighthouse are the last humans in the world, and we have hardly gone down to the ground except for collecting materials, and we really can't fully understand the ground." ”

Morgan nodded slowly: "Mark has already told me that you have developed a genetic technology that can fight against the terrestrial ecology, not only can you be immune to the infection of the fishy owl disease, but also have strength beyond humans?" He was skeptical.

Luo Chen could see the other party's suspicion, smiled, reached out and took a Lucifer-like iron ornament on the table, reached out and gently rubbed it, the iron products more than twenty centimeters high were crumpled into a ball of iron.

Mark and Ran Bing were fine, while Morgan and the others were dumbfounded.

When he came back to his senses, Morgan's eyes were uncertain. Victor was even more vigilant. Charles's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was planning. Jiali's eyes lit up, and she looked like she wanted to pull Luo Chen to study.

Morgan looked at Luo Chen deeply, and said in a leisurely tone: "Two, I want to ask, are you still human?" He remembered the white-haired woman from decades ago, and he hid a deep fear in his heart, which could no longer be called human.

Whether it was the fear of retaining the dignity of a natural human being, or the fear of a monster with the same appearance but a changed inner body, Morgan had doubts about Luo Chen and Dongfang being undefeated from the beginning.

Luo Chen was indifferent: "We have perfected biotechnology from humans in the old world, and by adjusting and modifying genes, we have given birth to humans who can adapt to the new world. Through bio-enhanced potions, it can also possess great power. We've even created artificial ecosystems that can be embedded in new worlds. ”

"Perhaps, you can call us the adjusters."

The information in Luo Chen's words made the hearts of the core people of the lighthouse present vibrate. If this information is true, then the lighthouse is indeed far behind.

"How do you prove that what you're saying is true?" Dr. Carrie looked eagerly and leaned over: "Can you take a genetic sample from you and give it to me, after my ecological research institute analyzes it, I may be able to prove your words." ”

Luo Chen smiled and said nothing, he really took the genes on his body to study and analyze, he was afraid that these people on the lighthouse would scare out heart disease.

"Dr. Carrie." Morgan looked at him with a warning look.

Carrie turned her head nonchalantly, thinking about how to take some samples from these two people.

Morgan's eyes lowered and he continued, "You've modified your genes, but can you still be considered human other than your appearance?" ”

Luo Chen chuckled softly: "I told Captain Mark this, what criteria do you use to judge human beings, thoughts, appearance, emotions, or genes?" Human beings in the old world are destined to be eliminated, and only by integrating into the new world and evolving can they have the value of continuity, and survival of the fittest is the eternal truth of this planet. ”

It was a very unpleasant thing to say, and the air fell silent.

Morgan has always insisted on pure human self-esteem, and if he had discarded this idea, they would have led humanity to the surface decades ago.

But what Luo Chen said is also true, the three laws of survival continue to this day, although the effect is there, but the time is too short for them to adapt to the new world. If the humans on the lighthouse don't continue to make changes, they may eventually be abandoned by the world.

Perhaps, the two strangers in front of them, who claim to be terrestrial humans, are an opportunity for them. Morgan thought silently in his heart.

After weighing it in his heart, Morgan said, "I don't know where on the earth the human gathering place you represent is on the earth?" ”

Luo Chen shook his head lightly: "I'm sorry, in terms of the depth of our contact, I can't say it for the time being, please don't blame." ”

It's, where did he go to find a gathering place?

His words aroused the dissatisfaction of the other people in the lighthouse, and the corners of Charles's mouth hooked, and he pretended to be elegant: "Can't say it, or dare not say it, or doesn't exist at all?" ”

He really told the truth.

"Huh!" Luo Chen glanced at him with slanted eyes, which made the golden fur frown.

"Charles!" Morgan raised his voice and glanced at his son, not wanting to stiffen the relationship with Luo Chen, he apologized to Luo Chen: "I'm sorry, I asked too presumptuously, I wonder if we can carry out some cooperation?" ”

Luo Chen said that he didn't care, and replied to Morgan's request: "Although you and I don't know each other, after all, we are the last human beings on this planet, so we should naturally support each other. I just don't know, what do you need? ”

The faces of the people on the other side of the lighthouse were all grim, knowing that today's conversation might make a crucial difference to the lighthouse.

Morgan said: "We are very interested in your so-called biotechnology, and we dare not expect to get your vital core technology, but can we first open up some technologies that can help humans improve their individual survivability on the ground." ”

When these words fell, Jiali, who was the director of the Ecological Research Institute, smiled.

Luo Chen pretended to be silent for a while, and then nodded slowly: "I think it should be fine, but I'm not a biological researcher, so I can't provide you with technology right away." However, I have some genetic enhancement potions here, so I can give you a sample first. ”

In other words, he quietly took out a tube of 'KW74 Booster Improved' potion from his space necklace. The golden liquid sparkles in the sunlight against the glass background, attracting everyone's attention at once.

Dongfang Undefeated glanced at Luo Chen, and couldn't figure it out.

Luo Chen smiled and continued: "This elixir can greatly improve human physical strength, reaction power, and thinking power in a short period of time. But after all, it is just an ordinary technical product, which has certain side effects and will overdraw the potential of the human body. ”

"Can you do it to your level?"

Mark remembered the scene on the ground, when the opponent punched through the steel shell of the spaceship, and he had no doubt that the opponent could go toe-to-toe with the gravity body.

"That's impossible." Luo Chen said with a smile: "That requires that you have already adjusted your genes, and you also need to inject a higher-level enhancement potion." ”

Seeing that Luo Chen was willing to cooperate, Morgan also asked, "I don't know what Your Excellency needs." "Cooperation is never a one-sided effort, win-win is the foundation.

The reason why Luo Chen came up to the lighthouse was to wait for this sentence.

"To be honest, most of the people in our base today are tuners who have adjusted their genes, but because of technical problems, we cannot reproduce through nature, and the success rate of reproduction through artificial technology is also very low.

Therefore, the new population replenishment we urgently need, even if there is a genetic problem, it doesn't matter, we can strengthen it through biotechnology to supplement the combat effectiveness of the base. ”

Morgan and the others immediately looked at each other.
