Chapter Seventy-Six: Gradually, Mark Learns Everything
It was getting dark, and the central command hall was ......
During the day, in front of a group of official and reserve members of the Hunters, the chief instructor of the Hunters, Elon, and the leader of the Hunters, Mark, bowed slightly, and said in unison:
"Yes, Lord Castle." x2
And on the other side of them were the old city lord Morgan in a wheelchair, and Victor, who was almost inseparable from the old city lord.
Morgan waved Elon to get up, and then he didn't speak, just looked at Elon silently.
The authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and Elon, as a bystander, should be able to describe a relatively more objective description than Mark.
And Elon was also very conscious, and he said what the city lord wanted to know.
"According to Mark's temptation, the ground survivor Wu He ......"
Instructor Elon's narration is not long, it is very concise, and in general, it has a meaning - Wu He is trustworthy and can be given a certain opportunity for assessment.
And the lord of Morgan City did not say anything about this, and the long silence was in this dimly lit central command hall, as if darkness extended to the surroundings.
After a long time, the city lord Morgan spoke again, breaking the silence......
"Mark? What do you think? ”
"Me?"
Hearing the city lord suddenly mention himself, he thought that he had come just to walk a form, and Mark was also a little confused, but soon he reacted, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"I think he's smart, but he's a bit self-centered, and he doesn't seem to pay much attention to things that don't concern him."
"But on the contrary, as long as there is a real connection with him, he will be very attentive."
"If the lighthouse can be bound to him, with the power he has, it will definitely be the lighthouse's luck."
Hearing Mark's evaluation of Wu He so highly, the city lord of Morgan also nodded slightly, and finally did not comment on anything, waved his hand to signal that the two could leave, and then controlled the mechanical wheelchair and turned to leave, and Victor also followed closely and turned to leave.
Still looking at the distant back of the Morgan City Lord, Mark recalled what Wu He said after the duel in the morning, and he really couldn't help it, and said in a loud voice:
"Lord Castle, Mark has something to report......
Mark's voice also directly stopped the Morgan City Lord's footsteps to continue to advance, but he did not look back and waved, just signaled Mark to speak.
"According to the information provided by Wu He, a survivor on the ground, there is a core spirit breath seed in the body of the Pole Eater, and after destroying or removing the spirit breath seed, the Extreme Eater can be completely killed."
"The item that Wu He, a survivor on the ground, held in his hand when he was in the Central Command Hall, was the Spirit Breath Seed."
"During the training this morning, Wu He, a survivor on the ground, shared the information related to the Spirit Breath Seed with the Hunter team. If the information is true, the textbook of the Hunter Reserve in the Lighthouse may need to be reprinted on a large scale, and I hope that the Lord of the Castle will instruct ......"
The materials for dealing with Pole Eater in the Lighthouse are mainly focused on how to cut off the head of the Eater, delay the recovery time of the Eater as much as possible, and estimate the approximate recovery time of the Eater based on its injuries and species.
If the core of the Spirit Breath Seed does exist, destroying and taking out the Spirit Breath Seed can completely kill the Extreme Devourer, then all the experience summarized in the past cannot be said to be useless, but basically it will be overturned and restarted.
This is not just the internal work of the hunters, it needs to be coordinated by the various departments of the lighthouse, otherwise Mark and Elon alone can actually call the shots, and there is no need to consult the city lord at all.
However, Mark still has a certain degree of confidence in this matter, after all, even if the focus of the textbook changes, the combat part actually does not change much.
After all, it is feasible to kill the Eater of Extremes first, and then destroy or dig up the Spirit Breath Seeds, and the workload is actually not as great as simply imagined. Moreover, it can greatly reduce the casualties of the lighthouse, and there is no reason why the city lord will disagree with this kind of thing that is beneficial to the lighthouse.
However, the next moment, the city lord's answer was a stunned look on Mark's face.
"No, there's no need to change the textbook, the existence of the Spirit Breath Seed, I knew it in the first place, and destroying this thing won't do the lighthouse any good......"
"Why?"
Facing Mark's stunned and puzzled eyes, Lord Morgan stretched out his finger and tapped the armrest of the wheelchair to signal Mark to come over, and then he waved his hand to signal Victor to talk to Mark alone.
Victor did not hesitate about the city lord's decision, and stepped aside.
Mark and Morgan went to another place.
……
"Squeak~"
Listening to the sound of the door closing behind him, the city lord of 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 know something, but I don't share the inside of the lighthouse?"
In response, Morgan responded to the sound of Mark's approaching footsteps, and Mark didn't know what to say, so he didn't speak.
And Morgan obviously expected Mark's reaction. So after a moment of silence, he spoke:
"Mark, do you know why the three laws of the lighthouse exist?"
Hearing Morgan's question, Mark was silent for a moment, and then spoke:
"In order to ensure the distribution of lighthouse materials in the end of Mana, everything is for the normal operation of the lighthouse and the survival of the lighthouse humans."
These are all taught by Mark's teachers when he was a child, and Mark also has a deep understanding that at least if he wants to let Mark distribute the lighthouse, Mark is absolutely incompetent.
Even Mark couldn't imagine how the lighthouse would have survived to this day if it hadn't followed the law. It is precisely because of this powerlessness that Mark has always looked at the three laws as unpleasant, and has never thought of resisting.
Because he knew that if he had no better way to overthrow a time-proven system, it would only push the lighthouse into another abyss......
When Morgan heard Mark's answer, he also turned his wheelchair, looked at Mark with his head down, and nodded with satisfaction.
But in an instant, the expression on Morgan's face suddenly became serious, and he nodded, and shook his head again.
"The Three Laws are true, but they are not the only ......"
"Oh?"
Suddenly hearing that the three laws seemed to have other meanings, Mark also raised his head suddenly, a pair of bright eyes and the cloudy eyes of the old city lord stared together, as if the times were converging at this moment.
"Before I talk about this~ Mark, you've been fighting against the Pole Eater for so many years, have you ever discovered a habit of the Pole Eater?"
Hearing this, Mark frowned, thinking about the various behaviors of the Extreme Devourer on the ground, not quite understanding what the connection between this and the three laws would be.
But there was no need for Mark to think about it too much, and soon the old city lord revealed the answer.
"Pole Eaters rely on human feelings to lock people's positions, once people burst out with strong feelings, they will be as conspicuous in the eyes of Pole Eaters and Spine Gu as beacons in the dark, and then the Pole Eaters will pounce like cats that smell fish, and do everything they can to kill everyone and suck all the vital essence......"
As he spoke, as if to improve the convincing power of his conclusions, Morgan turned his wheelchair again to a desk inside the house here, opened the drawer behind the desk, took out a few palm-sized photos, and photographed them on the table.
"Look, Mark, this is what the Lighthouse's camera captured on the ground during the time before Redko's death."
Hearing this, Mark also lowered his head, walked to the desk, and picked up the photos.
The first thing that came into view was the date marked at the top of the photo, and a complicated expression appeared in Mark's eyes.
Mark will never forget the date of his sister, the former Hunter Commander Redko, who died on the day Mark watched his closest people disappear into the flames......
Taking a deep breath to adjust his emotions, he began to look closely at the images in these photos. After reading the first one, Mark's complexion suddenly changed a little.
Looking back at the photos one by one, until he saw the end, Mark slapped the photos in his hand on the table, looked at the calm city lord Morgan behind the desk with a look of surprise, hesitated for a moment, and then continued to speak:
"Is this all true? In that case, why didn't the lord make this news public? If it were made public, it would have been possible to reduce a lot of unnecessary casualties......"
The images on the photo are very small and simple, all of them are pictures of Polar Eaters.
Ordinary Eater Mark has seen a lot, so naturally he won't feel anything. But the problem is that it's not just ordinary Pole Eaters, there are also king-level Pole Eaters as huge as mountain peaks, stepping on top of the mountain and roaring at the camera or at the lighthouse.
It is important to know that the normal flight altitude of the lighthouse is in the stratosphere, a full 50,000 meters above the ground. This height is probably not more obvious than the black pen on the Qingming Shanghe map from the ground point to the ground.
Even if you are a king-level Eater of Poles, how can those ordinary Eaters of Extremes find a lighthouse in the sky?!
Is it really an outburst of emotion that attracts these Pole Eaters? But in that case, why didn't the city lord make this kind of thing public?!
At this time, the stakes are high, and even the lives of his teammates, so Mark's unconscious tone is a bit questioning.
This kind of emotion is normal, after all, what I am most afraid of in actual combat is poor information, the Eater of Pole Beasts is increasing, and our information base is not updated, even if you don't update it, you still don't send the most important information? Isn't this pure harm?!
And Morgan obviously knew that this question would come back sooner or later, so he didn't get angry or show any other emotions, but was 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 itself......"
As he spoke, Morgan threw out a file bag again, which was heavy and made a dull sound as it landed on the table.
Looking at the file bag in front of him, Mark did not hesitate at all, and opened it directly.
After opening it, Mark realized that it was Charles's file.
At the very least, there will be some doubts, why did the city lord take out Charles's file report? Did Charles do something?
Thinking of what Lord Morgan said just now, "twist the lighthouse into a rope", and Instructor Elon has been telling him to be careful about "other people", Mark couldn't help but muttered a little in his heart......
Although Mark is also unhappy with Charles, and most of the lighthouse executives are basically like this, Mark still feels that it should not be.
Even if Mark imagined whether there were survivors on the ground, there was an example of Wu He as proof, but Mark also knew that the ground survivors in other places combined may not have more than half of the lighthouses.
There are only these two jujubes left in the human race on the whole earth, and Mark thinks that Charles is no matter how smart he is, and he can't be guilty of any infighting at such a time.
After flipping through the file, Mark was even more confused.
Because the files describe basically some normal interactions, it's just that Charles went to the large, middle and high-level people's activity files, if you don't know, you probably will think that this is Charles's action plan.
The list of these personnel includes the Light and Shadow Society, the City Defense Army, the Research Institute, the senior management of the junior school, and some hunters who are not familiar with Mark......
Basically, the major functions of the lighthouse are related to Charles.
But Mark didn't feel any problem with this, after all, wouldn't light and shadow just maintain the stability of the people in the lighthouse? As the leader of the meeting, Charles's guy running around is also completely in line with his personality.
And to see Mark look so unenlightened. Lord Morgan couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Then he knocked on the table and said:
"There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the behavior of forming a gang, if he is declared the lord of the city, then this large force will naturally become his help."
"But if he doesn't become the lord of the city, then what will become of this force?"
Hearing what the city lord Morgan said, no matter how stupid Mark was, he understood. But he still doesn't believe that when is this, and he still wants to fight for power? Could it be that they really think that their hunter team brought too many resources?!
"But, but, but, but ......"
Mark wanted to say something, angrily denouncing the absurdity of the matter, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
He and Charles have always been at odds with each other, so naturally they know him very well, and that guy's covetousness for the position of city lord is almost known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart. With such a mention from the city lord of Morgan, Mark also understood why the city lord did not make it public at this time......
Now it's Charles, and it used to be someone else......
It's not too cost-effective to buy a random duster, just lose your temper and use your emotions to assassinate a or even a group of hunters who are bound to go to the ground......
By this point, Mark had completely ignored his initial problem. He has already begun to think about how to screen the personnel on the ground, mainly because this mention is a little too terrifying, and the lives of his teammates are at stake, and he can't and dare not 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 is the effect he wanted, but he did not avoid the question asked by Mark before, so he also answered when Mark had no time to think about anything else:
"As for the matter of the Spiritual Breath Seed you mentioned, I do know that. But Mark also needs to know that things like Psitron Seeds are not of much use to humans, on the contrary, too much contact with them will only pollute human genes. ”
"And if the Spiritual Breath Seeds are destroyed, then the life essence contained in them will naturally flow underground, and they will be collected by the Mana Flower again, and there is no point in killing them."
"After losing the Spiritual Breath Seed, the Polar Eater will turn into the Resting Soil, and the Resting Soil will directly invade the interior of the machine, destroying the three-dimensional or mechanical structure."
"Therefore, whether or not the Psionic Seed exists is of no significance to the lighthouse......"
Let's say it, the Morgan City Lord waved his hand to signal Mark to leave, and now Mark, who was a mess in his mind, also bowed hard to the Morgan City Lord after getting everything he wanted to know, and then turned around and left directly.
Now Mark needs to be alone and quiet, sort out the knowledge he got today, and it is best to have a discussion together, that's right, Ran Bing is Ran Bing......
