Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 145 I have never done a breeding mission!
Are they looking for human settlements again?
These words elicited varying reactions from the hunters.

"Captain Mark, is there really a human settlement? Or have we just found another bunch of scrapped robots?"

"Ecologically dense areas can be dangerous too!"

"There's no one alive on the ground anymore, is there?"

"The ground is overrun with Devouring Beasts, how can humans survive?"

"Going to densely populated ecological areas is not a problem, but even if we don't go to densely populated areas, it's dangerous as long as we go underground. The question is whether we can find other human settlements this time we go underground?"

The hunters were discussing it amongst themselves, but their overall attitude was not very positive.

Last time, they said they were going to find other human settlements. They risked their lives and rushed into the core ecological area, but in the end they only found a bunch of robots that had been destroyed by the Devouring Beasts. They left behind a large number of corpses and fled in a sorry state.

If Bai Yuetian hadn't unexpectedly shone so brightly, the casualties among the hunters would have been much greater.

This happened just a few days ago.

The hunters hadn't even recovered from the grief of losing their teammates when they were now on their way to find human settlements.
Among the crowd, only Bai Yuetian's eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

Signal station?
For years, no living person has been found on the ground near the lighthouse. Who could have built this signal station?
Definitely my dad!
Once I get into the signal station and leave my information at the lighthouse, I don't have to do anything else but wait for my dad to come and rescue me!

I'm definitely going this time!
Bai Yuetian was incredibly excited.

Mark stretched out his hands and pressed down from a distance.

The captain's authority silenced the hunters, and everyone's attention turned to him.

He said in a deep voice, "I know you have questions in your hearts."

"But this time it's different."

"When the lighthouse passed by there not long ago, there was nothing there. In just a few days, a signal station suddenly appeared. Someone must have built it there."

"Those people probably haven't left yet!"

The hunters stared at Mark in silence.

"If we arrive in time, we will have a good chance of getting in touch with them."

“That place is a signal station in itself, so even if those people have left, we can still contact them through the signal station.”

"The ground is fraught with danger, and since they live on the ground, they must have mastered special survival skills."

Mark clenched his fist, his expression solemn.

"Perhaps in the near future, we will also have the opportunity to live on the ground!"

The hunters looked at each other.

At this moment, one of the hunters spoke up: "Captain Mark, has the lighthouse confirmed that there are humans living on the ground? Have they taken photos?"

Mark nodded slightly.

He said in a deep voice, "The air traffic control room has taken some blurry photos, and there are human figures in the photos!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

"Did they really find them this time?"

"If we manage to take a picture, we'll have to go there."

"It's just an ecologically dense area. We've already fought our way out of the core ecological area, so why are we afraid of going to an ecologically dense area?"

"Yes! Besides, with Captain Mark and Bai Yuetian on board, this operation will definitely be easier than before."

"Bai Yuetian was practically a god descending to earth last time!"

The hunters quickly reached a consensus.

Now that we've actually found them, there's nothing more to say. The Hunters are the Lighthouse's hands and feet on the ground, and they should carry out their mission to help the Lighthouse establish connections with other human settlements.

If they've already been to the core areas, why wouldn't they go to the densely populated areas?

Moreover, the hunters' strength has improved considerably, mainly due to Bai Yuetian's addition.

Bai Yuetian's performance in the core area was extremely impressive.

When Mark fell into the underground fissure, the Hunters were leaderless and were once overwhelmed by the Devouring Beasts. Bai Yuetian took up the banner and strongly reversed the situation.

The presence of such a powerful individual significantly enhances the overall strength of the team.

Mark gave the blessing officer a look.

The blessing officer coughed lightly.

"Quiet!"

He walked over to Mark, holding the scriptures.

"Light gives birth to all beings!"

"All beings follow their shadows!"

"Light cleanses my soul!"

"Shadow shelters my body!"

"Use the Tao to control desires!"

"Enjoyment without excess!"

"I'd rather have a broken body!"

"Never abandon light and shadow!"

Each word was pronounced clearly and precisely, conveying a sense of solemnity and reverence unique to religion.

Everyone had a blank expression on their faces.

They tried to feel the atmosphere of the moment, hoping that there really was an all-knowing and all-powerful Lord of Light and Shadow who would protect them during this operation.

Mark took a few steps forward and walked into the circle of the lifting platform.

He said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the roar of gears turning came from below the lifting platform.

The ground beneath Bai Yuetian's feet trembled slightly.

He looked up and inadvertently met Jessica's gaze.

Jessica's face lit up with a playful glint in her eyes, and she said with a slight upturn of her lips, "Come back alive, I'm waiting for you in the Dawn Hall."

"Uh!" Bai Yuetian was caught off guard.

The next second, the lifting platform began to descend rapidly.

Jessica disappeared from sight.

Ignore Jessica.

Erica appeared beside him without him even realizing it.

Erica whispered, "The Lighthouse's mechanical maintenance is inseparable from Jessica. She has never been to the Dawn Hall, and she only teases people verbally. Many people have been tricked by her."

Bai Yuetian was somewhat surprised.

Jessica has never been to the Hall of Dawn; she's just a master of empty talk.
“The task of reproduction has a huge impact on women’s emotions and physical health.”

Erica explained in a low voice, "There are some important positions on the Lighthouse that no one can replace. If women hold these positions, the Light and Shadow Society will not assign them breeding tasks."

“Jessica is one of them.” Bai Yuetian nodded slightly: “I see.”

This arrangement is reasonable.

If the navigation room commander Jingnan were pregnant, and the lighthouse happened to encounter problems while Jingnan was giving birth, and the problem couldn't be resolved quickly, it might fall.

People in other positions are not as important as Jingnan, but they are indispensable. The Lighthouse needs them to serve 24/7.

This is more important than creating a few babies whose lineage is unknown.

Erica blushed and asked, "I've heard that you people in the old world valued female chastity very much. Is that true?"

"Where did you hear that from?" Bai Yuetian asked, puzzled.

Based on his observations over this period, the people on the lighthouse, influenced by the three laws, are not sexually repressed, but rather sexually ignorant.

The concept of chastity simply does not exist in the minds of the people of Lighthouse.

Erica blushed: "Never mind where I heard that!"

She looked around nervously.

The roar of the elevator platform drowned out her conversation with Bai Yuetian, and no one paid attention to what they were saying.

Bai Yuetian replied, "That's true. Some people are very concerned about their partner having had other romantic relationships before being with them. But it's not just men who are concerned about women; women are also concerned about men."

He personally doesn't seem to care much.

In his view, if two people are truly in love, do not deceive or conceal anything from each other, and can accept each other's past, it can be considered a form of true love.

“I haven’t actually done any breeding missions,” Erica said in a barely audible whisper.

Bai Yuetian was slightly taken aback.

Boom!

As the lifting platform landed, Erica, caught off guard, twisted her ankle and fell to the side, her petite body trembling with obvious fear in her clear eyes.

At that moment, a strong arm wrapped around her slender waist and held her tightly.

Two young bodies pressed together.

Their body heat mingled through their clothes and on each other's skin.

"Are you OK?"

".I'm fine."

Erica looked up, while Bai Yuetian looked down.

Feeling the arm around her from behind, Erica had a strange feeling, like someone who had been swinging on a swing for a long time suddenly stopping and their feet touching the ground.

It's an indescribable sense of security.

Bai Yuetian released his arm and took a half step back imperceptibly.

Erica felt lost and disappointed.

"What did you just say?" Bai Yuetian asked.

The lifting platform has stopped.

Without the roar of turning gears to mask it, every sound was crystal clear.

Other hunters cast curious glances at them.

Feeling the stares of those around her, Erica's face flushed crimson, and she stammered, "I'll talk... I'll talk."

Ah!
With so many people, how can I possibly say anything?

Hate!

"I didn't say anything!" She fled towards Penny, who was not far away, with a sharp popping sound, like a boiling kettle.

Bai Yuetian laughed as he watched her disheveled figure disappear.

Mark noticed this.

He frowned, but didn't say anything immediately.

"Get on the bus, everyone!" Mo Cheng shouted.

The hunters quickly boarded the vehicle, while the Dust People were already inside.

Mark walked up to Bai Yuetian.

He brought his lips close to Bai Yuetian's ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "The Lighthouse has three laws. Don't harm Erica."

"I know what I'm doing," Bai Yuetian said with a smile.

Mark nodded and brushed past Bai Yuetian.

At this moment, Ran Bing caught up with them.

"Mark, why didn't you wait for me?" she pouted, her face full of unhappiness.

Mark said without turning his head, "Stop messing around, we're already on the ground."

"So what if we get to the ground? We'll have Captain Mark with us!" Ran Bing said with a grin.

Mark frowned: "Quiet, Lieutenant."

"Yes, sir!" Ran Bing stopped and saluted Mark.

Mark sighed deeply.

He ignored Ran Bing's antics and got into the car.

Ran Bing followed closely behind.

The hunters next to them watched them and chuckled the whole time, as if they had eaten candy.

Bai Yuetian pursed her lips.

I feel like your situation is more dangerous than Erica's and mys.
Bai Yuetian turned his head to look at Erica's car.

He unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

At this moment, Afu walked over and bumped his shoulder: "You still haven't explained what you mean by 'if I don't learn it, I might not be able to come back this time'?"

"Let's talk in the car," Bai Yuetian said, snapping out of her daze.

He hooked his arm around Afu's shoulder and stepped into another armored vehicle.

This is an armored vehicle exclusively for gravity body pilots. Each pilot sits next to their own gravity body so they can join the battle at any time.

Sizzle—

"Is everyone on the bus?"

Mark's voice came through the radio as each vehicle reported the crew's status to him.

Mark said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the convoy started moving.

Like a winding steel serpent, trailing the rustling sound of its engine, it burrows into the treacherous spiderweb woven by Mana Ecology.
