A Pirate's Bizarre Adventure

Find someone else.

you mean?

Mark stared directly at Jon.

Jon blinked, "Don't look at me, I'm just a civilian.

Lord City Lord, you can't let me lead the hunting team to collect supplies on the ground, right? "

Mark laughed dryly.

To be honest, for a moment, he was really moved.

Jon's fighting ability is excellent, and his mind is one of the best. If he were to command the hunting team,

Forget it, don’t mention this anymore.

With a solemn look on his face, Mark said in a deep voice: "In this case, the commander of the hunting team will be temporarily taken over by Mo Cheng."

Mocheng?

Well, that guy is indeed one of the rare normal people in the hunting team.

Jon twitched his lips and said, "Without further ado, let the hunting team go to the nearest resource collection point immediately.

In less than eight hours, the sun will set. "

This makes sense.

Mark immediately ordered: "Jingnan, notify the hunting team immediately and have them all prepare for battle.

By the way, the new weapons and equipment from the Scientific Research Department must also be arranged as soon as possible.

This mission is of great significance and cannot be missed! "

"yes!"

Jingnan stood at attention and saluted.

Mark nodded and sighed silently.

hope

all the best.

In the farewell of all the people of the lighthouse, the new hunter commander Mo Cheng took all the members of the hunter team and a number of dust people and landed on the ground through the lifting platform.

Dust and smoke billowed.

The armed transport convoy gradually disappeared at the end of the horizon.

Jon looked away and patted Mark on the shoulder, "Don't worry, it will be fine."

"Um."

Mark responded, not in a very high mood.

As soon as he took over as the city lord, he encountered so many fatal troubles.

If Jon wasn't there to help.

He alone is not capable of handling all the big and small things on the lighthouse.

Thinking of this, Mark looked at Jon with great gratitude, "Fortunately, I have you."

"Stop, stop! Stop."

Jon waved his hands repeatedly, "You should talk to your white-haired sister about these things."

Hearing this, Mark scratched his face in embarrassment.

Jon ignored him and walked back to the lighthouse.

All the way up.

Jon went straight to the medical area.

Following the information marked outside the ward, he easily found Morgan who was lying in the medical cabin recuperating.

The old man was not surprised to see Jon, and just said calmly: "You are here."

"Come see you."

Jon walked to the medical cabin, picked up the apple on the bedside table, took a bite, "Old man, you look good."

Morgan smiled, "I don't know why, but my physical condition is better now than before. Maybe it's because I'm not stressed."

No, no, no, that’s because I used the power of ripples to refill your cup.

Not wanting to talk more on this topic, Jon stared at Morgan's face, "I won't talk nonsense. Today, I'm here to seek an answer."

"I know."

Morgan smiled slightly, "You are one of the few smart people on the lighthouse. I mean, a 'real smart person', not just some self-righteous cleverness like Charles."

It's a very cliché saying to praise someone and crush someone else.

But Jon sounded happy.

"Okay, okay, I don't need to say these words anymore. I'm just here to seek an answer. Why do you insist on making Mark the city leader even though you know that he is not suitable to be the city leader?

For this reason, he even gave up his own son Charles.

He is your illegitimate son? "

Morgan:.

After pondering for a moment, the old man said word by word: "Because of a 'revelation'." "

Revelation?

Jon was puzzled.

Morgan stared at the overhead light of the medical cabin in awe, "So, you don't understand anything.

The lighthouse was originally just an aerial prison.

We, the people, are the descendants of prisoners and prison guards.

After several generations of unremitting renovation, the lighthouse finally became what it is now.

But aren't you curious?

How did a group of illiterate prisoners and prison guards transform an air prison into a safe place for humans without any help? "

Jon pricked up his ears, "I'd like to hear the details."

"The answer is we got some help, some help from other species."

"oh?"

Jon's interest grew.

First it was the apocalypse, then it was the monsters, and now it’s another species? !

"Isn't it an alien?" He asked, "What is it specifically? Can you tell me in detail?"

"It takes a lot of words to talk about it. Old man, I don't have that much energy."

Morgan smiled and took off a bunch of keys from around his neck.

"Go to my study, it should be called Mark's study now.

Everything you want to know is there.

With your IQ, you will definitely not be able to find the secret room.

certainly.

This set of keys can also open the core area of ​​the lighthouse hub.

When you see "it", you will understand everything. "

Jon took the key but did not leave immediately.

After a pause, he asked: "Why do you trust me so much?"

"Because I can see that no one is your opponent on this lighthouse."

Some people become more demonic as they get older.

Although Morgan has a stubborn mind, his vision is extremely vicious.

Charles is his biological son, so he is not so wary of Charles.

Jon is different.

In the eyes of the old man, Jon is just a shadow hiding in the dark!

But then again.

He actually quite admires people like Jon.

Be ambitious and know how to be patient.

More importantly, have ideas and be smart enough!

Morgan waved his hand, "Go ahead and don't disturb me.

If I can survive this time, I will apply for ‘long trip’.

hehe.

You must strictly abide by the rules you set for yourself. "

Jon said nothing.

Silence replaced farewell.

Taking the bunch of keys, he walked out of the ward area and came to the city lord's study.

Coincidentally, Ran Bing was also packing things here.

"Hello." Jon greeted generously.

After more than two months of working in the wasteland, his relationship with the only white hair in the lighthouse was close enough.

"Counsellor Jon."

Ran Bing responded energetically.

Then, she looked at the key in Jon's hand doubtfully, "What are you doing?"

Jon spoke truthfully, "The old city lord said that he has some secrets that cannot be known to others, and he wants me to inherit them."

Ran Bing:? ? ?

Jon smiled and said, "Are you interested in going and seeing it with me?

Or, bring your boyfriend with you? "

"I'd better forget it, Consultant Jon, if you please, I'll go find Mark."

Ran Bing twitched the corner of his mouth and suppressed his curiosity with a lot of self-knowledge.

Jon nodded secretly.

The evaluation is, a well-behaved nineteen-year-old girl.

After watching Ran Bing leave the study, Jon began to look for the so-called entrance to the secret room on the wall.

As Morgan said, the secret room is not difficult to find.

'Click'

The mechanism is on.

The bookshelf moved, revealing a door.

Jon didn't bother to use the key and directly opened the door with his own stand-in ability.

Enter the secret room.

He read in detail all of Morgan's diaries over the years.

From the establishment of the lighthouse to the formulation of the ‘Three Laws’.

Every stroke records Morgan's inner struggle and suffering.

Jon couldn't help but be moved.

As Morgan himself said, the lighthouse was originally just an aerial prison, and it has gone through countless arduous battles to become what it is now.

He scratched his eyebrows, left the city lord's study, and went to the 'Energy and Computing Center', the core area of ​​the lighthouse.

The lighthouse once relied on an 'energy and computing center' to maintain normal operations and plan future routes.

There he saw a dark gray brain

——A brain cut in half and filled with countless wires and electronic components.

In other words, the main AI of the lighthouse is actually an alien or some other monster!

"Interesting, really interesting~"

Jon's eyes widened slightly, and a pleasant smile appeared on his lips.

According to "Morgan's Diary", he knew that this brain could simultaneously observe the position and momentum of microscopic particles, but he still could not understand how it worked.

It once told the lighthouse information and allowed the lighthouse to survive to this day.

When it was still functioning normally, the air prison relied on him to know the time of disaster in advance and successfully escaped disaster.

Later, Morgan and the others used it to deduce the future of mankind. Trying to find a way to combat Mana Ecology, the answers it gives are symbols and formulas that humans cannot understand.

The only thing that can be deciphered is one coordinate.

The first-generation city lord immediately went to the coordinate location and found a baby there.

This kid is Mark!

Therefore, the reason why Mark must serve as the city lord was found.

He is the legendary son of prophecy and the future of mankind!

Jon felt very stupid.

Good guys, the reincarnations of Indra and Asura, right?

The one and only Joey Boy huh?

Descendants of Quincy, Death, and Hollow, right?

The lineage theory is here for you to understand.

I don’t know why, but after learning about the setting of ‘Brain in a Vat’, Jon was inexplicably excited. But when he learned that Mark was the only son of prophecy in the legend who could save mankind, he lost interest again.

"Is there some conspiracy here? I feel like this brain doesn't have any good intentions."

Jon touched his smooth chin.

"The first-generation city lord and Morgan really believed in it too easily. They gave it a little sweetness and trusted each other 100%. What if Mark is not the hope of saving mankind, but the source of its destruction?"

etc.

Why does this setting feel so visual?

Emmmmm

understood.

"Pacific Rim"

If there is another portal that only the Devouring Beast can pass through and Mark is blown up, then Jon will be very disappointed with the world.

never mind.

Ignore these for now.

Counting the days on my fingers, there are only two weeks left before the true body arrives.

As long as we survive these two weeks, all conspiracies and tricks will be nothing in the face of absolute strength!

Thoughts are clear.

Jon put his hands in his pockets and left the 'Energy and Computing Center' briskly.

the other side.

‘Central Command Room’.

"Reporting to the lighthouse, this is the hunter team. I am Commander Mo Cheng. We have safely entered the resource collection point. Everything is going well so far, over."

"Okay Mo City, this is the central command room of the lighthouse. Please collect resources according to the original plan and pay attention to safety."

Jing Nan crossed his arms across his chest, looking slightly nervous.

At this time, Mark, who should not have appeared in the central command room, suddenly interrupted: "Mocheng, always pay attention to the concentration of 'scarlet pigment'. If the situation is not right, please evacuate immediately!

After all, you are the lighthouse’s only hope. "

"I understand, Captain Mark. No, I mean, Lord City Lord." Mo Cheng smiled easily.

This was the first time that he led a hunting team to collect supplies on the ground.

Moreover, he was entrusted with a huge trust as soon as he took office, so he couldn't let his guard down at a critical moment!

That's how it is sometimes.

The less you want something to come, the more it will come.

Originally, everything was fine, and resource recovery and collection went very smoothly.

But by chance, a pole-devouring beast sleeping underground suddenly woke up.

Upon discovering a human, it immediately let out a piercing roar.

Everyone in the hunter team and the central control room felt nervous.

"Evacuate, evacuate quickly!" Jing Nan commanded.

Mo Cheng did not dare to stay longer and immediately ordered, "Give up the supplies in hand and let's leave quickly!"

Supplies are important, but the lives of hunters are also very important.

They have collected a certain amount of resources, which is enough to keep the lighthouse flying for a while. There is no need to risk human lives!

Mo Cheng thought very well.

But beyond his expectation, these pole-eating beasts turned out to be more difficult to deal with than those he had encountered before.

And there are many mutated subspecies.

The war is about to break out!

Fortunately, the Scientific Research Department has not taken advantage of the situation in the past two months. Although the attack speed of the new equipment 'electromagnetic rifle' is slow, its attack power is high. Every time it hits the polar beast, it can paralyze the opponent, which greatly facilitates the evacuation of the team.

Jing Nan and Mark at the Central Command relaxed a little.

In this way, when Mocheng and the others bring back energy, the lighthouse can avoid the risk of an emergency landing.

Unexpectedly, the good times did not last long.

The pole-devouring beast and its subspecies, the pole-devouring beast, were helpless against the members of the hunting team, and a large group of spine-gu swarms emerged from the darkness!

Mo Cheng was helpless.

He had no choice but to lead the hunter team to evacuate to a safe place.

After retreating and retreating, they were trapped deep in the resource point.

"Report, we are holding on now, waiting for the right time to break out!"

Mocheng did not request support from the lighthouse.

Because he knew that the lighthouse had no extra power for support.

Mark's eyes were filled with anger.

"Damn."

He muttered to himself, pacing back and forth in the room.

Two or three minutes passed, and Mark looked at Jingnan, "We must send more manpower, otherwise the hunting team will be doomed!"

"Lord City Lord, you don't know about the situation in the lighthouse. We no longer have any extra strength to support them." Jing Nan was puzzled.

Mark slapped his chest, "Who said there is no more power? The lighthouse still has me!"

Brave warriors always belong to the battlefield and will never retreat to the rear.

Even after becoming the city lord, Mark's fiery heart still did not fade away.

He is eager to fight, and even more wants to save his teammates with his own hands!

"No." Jing Nan said without thinking.

A rich man will not sit in a dangerous hall.

If something happens to Mark, who can be the city leader?

Mark gritted his teeth and said, "The situation is urgent and we can't think about it that much."

At this time, Mo Cheng, who had been in contact with the lighthouse, suddenly flashed the screen.

Not only him, but all the signals from the hunters were cut off by an inexplicable force.

Everyone in the central command room felt nervous.

broken!
