Chapter 002: The Lighthouse
"Captain Mark, there's a situation here."
When the team arrived at the designated place, Mark got out of the car and was waiting with the team to fall on the lifting platform, but Mochen ran to report in a panic.
Mark turned to look at Mochen, "What's wrong?" ”
Mochen said, "Our convoy blended into an old world survivor. ”
Mark and the others were shocked when they heard this, especially since Mark had seen a human on the giant Pole Eater before, and he was even more curious about the identity of this survivor.
"Take me to him." Mark said.
Mochen nodded: "Follow me." ”
Ran Bing and the others were also curious about the survivors of this old world and followed them together.
Next to the transport vehicle, Yan Heyuan was being watched by the dust people in the same car, and the hunter Feixue was holding a gun to ask Yan Heyuan about his origin.
Seeing Captain Mark arrive, Flying Snow said hello and took two steps back.
Mark came to Yan Heyuan and looked at the young man in front of him who looked thin and tender.
The young man looked to be in his early 20s, which meant that he was just a kid when the disaster struck, and Mark couldn't imagine how he had spent so many years in this monster-infested terrestrial world.
"Who are you? How did it appear in our ranks. Mark stared at Yan Heyuan's eyes, suppressing the excitement in his heart and asked.
Yan Heyuan said: "My name is Yan Heyuan, an ordinary survivor, your arrival caused a riot of those monsters, my hiding place was destroyed, and I had to leave with you. ”
Mark said, "You mean you've been hiding in the ruins of the R-49 Starship?" ”
Yan Heyuan nodded: "Yes." ”
Mark asked again, "Is there anyone else there?" ”
Yan Heyuan shook his head and said, "No, I'm alone." ”
Ran Bing couldn't help but interject: "Have you always been alone?" ”
Yan Heyuan shook his head: "No, there was a companion who lived with me before, but he wanted to find other survivors, and then he never came back......"
Mark asked, "Do you know if there are other humans living on the ground?" ”
Yan Heyuan said, "Maybe, but I've never left the ruins, and I'm not sure if there are anyone on Earth who survives hiding in a safe place with plenty of food like me." ”
Mark was frowning and pondering when a hunter came to report that the lifting platform had landed, and Instructor Elon was looking for him.
Mark nodded, asked Mo Chen to take a good look at Yan Heyuan, and brought him back to the lighthouse to wait for the city lord's arrangement.
Chen Heyuan didn't care, didn't show any emotion, and calmly followed the team to the lifting platform.
For Yan Heyuan's indifference, Mo Chen felt a little incredible, and Erica, a wilderness hunter who was also extremely curious about this ground human, leaned over to Yan Heyuan and asked, "Aren't you curious about the lighthouse at all?" ”
Glancing at Erica, Yan Heyuan couldn't tell her that in the Holy Domain, the Immortal Palace Pavilion in the sky could be seen everywhere, even if it was a large floating city, it was not surprising, and even some kingdoms were directly built on the Suspended Continent, and a small floating fortress was insignificant in his eyes. So he said with a flat expression: "If I couldn't keep a normal heart, maybe I would have been driven crazy a long time ago." ”
Erica and Mo Chen glanced at each other, as if they could understand Yan Heyuan's mood.
……
On top of the lighthouse, Mark and his team of hunters were warmly welcomed by the residents of the lighthouse......
Lighthouse Material Distribution Room: Affiliated to the Lighthouse Resources Department, it is responsible for receiving the survival materials recovered by the Hunter Troops, and the professional maintenance team distributes the materials.
As soon as the convoy drove into the material distribution center, Mark had no time to hand over to the contact personnel, and Senge, the captain of the city defense team who had been waiting here, had already taken the lead to meet him.
"Captain Mark, what about the survivor you brought back? Hand him up to me, and the city will see him. ”
Mark turned around and glanced in the direction of Mochen and said to him, "Mochen, bring Yan Heyuan here." ”
Mo Chen nodded and brought Yan Heyuan to Senge.
Senge looked Yan Heyuan up and down, with a mocking expression on his face: "Yan Heyuan? You still have a name? I hope you're still qualified to keep the name after meeting the castle lord. ”
"Follow me."
Senge commanded, turned around and walked towards the distribution room, and the two city defense troops who were originally following Senge stood behind Yan Heyuan on the left and right, and said indifferently: "Let's go." ”
Yan Heyuan's face was expressionless and followed Senge.
……
Now that the Mana ecology on the ground continues to spread, the activity of the Pole Eater is rampant, the probability of human survival on the ground is almost zero, and Lighthouse City has not searched for survivors for more than 20 years, for the survivor brought back by Mark, the Morgan City Lord and the upper echelons of Lighthouse City are naturally very curious, but after seeing Yan Heyuan, in the face of everyone's inquiry, Yan Heyuan told them what he said to Mark again, in order to test the truth of what Yan Heyuan said, the city defense commander Victor even used a lie detector, It's just that with Yan Heyuan's state of mind and the strength of his soul, the lie detector can't detect his mood swings at all, and naturally he can't detect that Yan Heyuan is lying.
In the end, everyone can only assume that Yan Heyuan is just a survivor of the old world who is unlucky, but if Yan Heyuan wants to join Lighthouse City, in addition to abiding by the three laws and life formulas of Lighthouse City, he must also undergo genetic testing to determine his future fate......
Carrie, the head of medical care and ecology, personally performed a genetic test for Yan Heyuan, and the result of the test was that Yan Heyuan's genes were defective and were judged to be dust by the life formula.
Yan Heyuan had no objection to the judgment of the life formula, he came to the lighthouse for his own purpose, as for what kind of identity he stayed in the lighthouse, he didn't care.
……
"From this moment on, you have to forget your past, including your original name, the duster only deserves a number in the lighthouse, your number is 9527, this is your ID, and at all times, the ID must be worn on your body."
A lighthouse logistics staff took Yan Heyuan to the duster's living quarters on the lower level of the lighthouse, and handed Yan Heyuan a green identity card representing the identity of the duster.
"The accommodation and initial contribution points arranged for you have been written into your ID, you find a machine to check it yourself, we will arrange a job for you within three days, and it will be transferred to your ID at that time, you remember to pay close attention, go to report on your own, if you are absent or late, you will be punished."
After saying that, the man from the logistics department turned around and left.
Yan Heyuan looked at the card in his hand and felt that someone was approaching him, Yan Heyuan put away the card and turned to look at the person.
"You should wear it in a conspicuous place, otherwise you will be punished if you are found by the Vinaya that you are not wearing an identification badge."
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old little girl with long braids came to Yan Heyuan.
The little girl's curious gaze kept looking at Yan Heyuan, and she smiled, "You are the survivor who 4068 said brought back from the ground, right?" I'm 4277, what's your number? ”
Yan Heyuan picked up the identity card in his hand and said, "Did you say this?" The number they gave me was 9527. ”
4277 nodded and said, "Well, then I'll call you 9527 in the future, hey, why don't you put on your identity badge yet, do you really want to be whipped?" ”
As he spoke, 4277 had already snatched his identity tag from Yan Heyuan's hand and helped him put it on his chest.
"That's it, you're welcome to Lighthouse City."
The little girl is lively and cheerful, which makes people feel very intimate, although the previous encounter made Yan Heyuan feel bad, but in the face of this enthusiastic and kind little girl, he still smiled slightly: "Thank you." ”
4277 also showed a sunny smile: "You're welcome, by the way, where is the accommodation they arranged for you, you are not familiar with this place when you first came, I'll take you there." ”
Yan Heyuan said: "They said that they wrote down my residence information in the card and asked me to find a machine to check it myself. ”
4277 pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "These people are really irresponsible, but it doesn't matter, you come with me, I'll help you check." ”
……
Suspended dust people's residential area.
In the early days of the development of the lighthouse, in order to cope with the problems of population growth and facility restoration, the lighthouse recycled various types of engineering units that were preserved on the ground, cut out the non-essential structures, and built structural units that meet the load regulations of the lighthouse through welding and assembly, and suspended them on the periphery of the lighthouse. Most of them were used as living quarters, and the rest were used as building materials for the lighthouse for repairs.
After the promulgation of the three laws, the people moved into the residential area of the main body of the lighthouse, and the dust ink was moved into the suspension area with a higher risk factor.
"Come on, this is it."
4277 took Yan Heyuan to the container assigned to him by the logistics department, a rag curtain was regarded as a door, Yan Heyuan lifted the curtain and walked in, there was nothing in the small space except a double bed and a table, and the environment was very simple.
4277 put his hands behind his back and comforted: "Although the environment is a little simpler, after all, it is safer than on the ground, so you don't have to worry about being attacked by the Spine Gu and the Extreme Devouring Beast." ”
Yan Heyuan turned to look at the little girl: "Thank you." ”
4277 smiled sweetly and said: "You're welcome, by the way, if you have time, tell me about things on the ground, I was born on the lighthouse, and I can only overlook the ground from afar, and I don't know what it's like to live on the ground." ”
Where did Yan Heyuan understand this world, he just smiled slightly, and was noncommittal to 4277's request.
4277 suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, I still have to go to see 4068, he was injured by those guys in the law center today, and I don't know what happened now." ”
Yan Heyuan said: "Okay, then you go, thank you today." ”
4277 smiled, "You're welcome, the dust people should help each other." Then I'll go first, bye-bye! ”
Seeing the little girl leave, Yan Heyuan's originally kind expression immediately turned cold, this time he was lucky from time to time, and when his strength recovered, he would definitely make the guy who framed him pay a heavy price.
With a cold snort, Yan Heyuan turned around and walked to the side of the bed, sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate, although the aura in this world was weak, in order to recover his strength as soon as possible, he also had to seize all the time to cultivate.
At the same time, Yan Heyuan also had to digest Huang Zheng's memories, especially those related to "Spirit Cage", to see if he could find information that would help him.
……
While meditating with his eyes closed, Yan Heyuan was suddenly disturbed by a noisy noise......
"Oh no, no, no...... Something happened to 3852. ”
Yan Heyuan frowned slightly, thinking of the scene about "Spirit Cage" that he recalled just now, there was a duster who was desperate because he was infected with fishy worm disease, and wanted to experience the feeling of being a Shangmin before he died, and he stole food from Shangmin and caused a riot.
This person was infected by fishy meat, and Yan Heyuan wanted to study fishy food, so he could start from this person.
Thinking of this, Yan Heyuan got up and walked out.
……
"How bold are you to rob the people of food?"
Following the other dust people to the passage of the fuel storage area, a cart carrying food for the Shangmin working in the storage area was stopped by the dust 3852 and 2411, they knocked over the food on the transport truck, rushed up and stuffed it into their mouths, ignoring the scolding of the Shangmin chef Sanders, and the dust man 3852 laughed hysterically while eating: "I see...... It turned out to be this taste, it turned out that they were this taste. ”
3852 kept stuffing food into his mouth, even if he was choked and rolled his eyes, he refused to stop, grabbed a bottle of milk on the ground and poured it into his mouth, that kind of wolf-swallowing appearance, many onlookers swallowed their saliva, if it weren't for the fear of the punishment of the law office, they would have wanted to try the taste of those Shangmin food.
Seeing that the untouchable was ignoring his warnings and still gobbling up, Sanders went up and slapped 3852 in the face.
3852's head slammed into the dining car on the side, but he didn't seem to feel the pain, his eyes were still looking at the milk that had broken on the ground, and he gasped heavily, 3852 lay directly on the ground, sticking out his tongue and licking the milk on the ground stained with glass shards, even caring about his tongue being cut, it was like a demon.
"Don't stop me, you beast." When Sanders saw this time, 3852 still only knew how to eat, and kicked 3852 wildly.
"Let you eat, let you eat, spit it out for me......"
3852 could tolerate Sanders' insults and kicks to him, but he couldn't tolerate him getting in the way of eating, and frantically grabbed the broken glass bottle on the ground, 3852 held the sharp glass against Sanders' throat.
Sanders was forced to retreat again and again, and said in a panic: "What do you want to do?" ”
3852 waved the glass in his hand and shouted frantically, "I want to live like the people of Shangmin." ”
Seeing that 3852 was getting more and more crazy, 4068 couldn't help but worry: "3852 is afraid that he will be severely punished." ”
4277 also knew that if the situation continued like this, I was afraid that it would be really out of control, so he had to step forward to persuade 3852 to stop, but someone stood up before her......
"Enough is enough." Yan Heyuan came to 3852's side, gently pressed his hand on his shoulder, and said in a deep voice.
3852, who was originally extremely crazy, suddenly had a wit, and looked up at Yan Heyuan's eyes full of fear, it was the coercion from the soul, and it was the innate awe of the lower beings to the higher beings.
Although Yan Heyuan had used a secret technique to burn the Divine Soul Origin when he was fleeing for his life, and he had just taken it away, and the Divine Soul was still in an unprecedented period of weakness, it was still easy to deal with this kind of ordinary person.
Controlling 3852, Yan Heyuan set his eyes on 2411 again, under his dark and cold gaze like an abyss, 2411 was also trembling with fright, he didn't even dare to eat bread, curled up and waited for Yan Heyuan to fall.
Yan Heyuan said: "You two come with me." ”
After saying that, he took the two of them and prepared to leave.
Sanders was originally frightened by 3852's crazy actions and didn't dare to speak out, but now that the scene was under control, he immediately jumped out again, stopped in front of Yan Heyuan and said angrily: "These two untouchables steal the food of the people and want to kill me, they can't just let them go, they must be punished by the law and education office." ”
Yan Heyuan's cold gaze fell on Sanders, who was blocking the way, and he just said two words lightly: "Get out of the way." ”
Sanders and Yan Heyuan looked at each other, and suddenly felt a trembling from the depths of his soul, so that he didn't dare to disobey Yan Heyuan's words in the slightest, and obediently lowered his head to get out of the way, until Yan Heyuan had already led people away, his body was still trembling slightly, and the whole person was still sunk in the terrifying gaze of Yan Heyuan just now......
