Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 265 The Silent Time-Space Passage
Ran Bing came to Mark's study with a troubled mind.

Mark, wearing glasses, was hunched over his desk, scrolling through his tablet. The reflection of tables and numbers was mirrored in the glasses.

He looked up and glanced at Ran Bing.

"There's no rush to practice Gravity Body. You're the Hunter Commander now, and Dawn is your dedicated Gravity Body. Just make sure you reach proficiency before the next ground operation."

He offered words of comfort in a low voice.

Ran Bing shook her head and replied, "It's not about that."

"do you know?"

"The Dust People are already dissatisfied with their current treatment. Although the Three Laws have been abolished, their lives have not improved in any substantial way, and they are now quite resentful."

Mark's expression changed slightly.

Ran Bing pulled up a chair and sat down next to Mark: "After the Three Laws were abolished, the Dust People, due to their limited knowledge and physical abilities, could still only engage in their original jobs, and most of the Upper People did not change their mindset."

"In the long run, the three laws will become invisible rather than abolished."

Mark pursed his lips.

He sighed and said, "I know about these problems, but that's how reform is; it can only be done little by little, unless we can solve the resource and energy problems immediately."

"Where is Bai Yuetian?" Ran Bing asked. "Didn't Bai Yuetian promise to supply us with supplies?"

Mark replied, "I haven't discussed this with him. The Lighthouse is still able to support itself and hasn't reached the point where it needs to ask outsiders for help."

Ran Bing nodded after a two-second silence.

"What did you feel like leading a team on your first mission after becoming the Hunter Commander?" Mark asked.

After thinking for a moment, Ran Bing replied, "At first I didn't think too much about it, but when I heard the gunshot, my heart was beating very fast. I was much more nervous than when I was your adjutant. I had to think about everything myself, and if I made a slight mistake, I would lose several people."

How do you think I did today?

Mark answered without hesitation, "Very good. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't have done any better than you in a sudden encounter with a swarm of spineworms and Devouring Beasts in a confined space."

"You lied to me." Ran Bing's face fell.

"If it weren't for you today, I would have died on the spaceship. After leaving the spaceship, it was thanks to you that we were able to evacuate and hold off the Devouring Beast."

Mark answered evasively, "After all, Dawn is the best gravity body."

His excellence is evident to all.

Ran Bing is the commander of the Hunters, and he hopes that Ran Bing can have more confidence.

Ran Bing pursed her lips.

As the commander of the hunters, the responsibility of collecting supplies and handling casualties fell directly on her shoulders.

Mark's words did not put her at ease.

It was only at this moment that she understood Mark's feelings.

Ran Bing silently watched Mark process the documents.

After a while, she quietly placed her hand on Mark's leg.

Mark's body stiffened slightly.

"Mark, will our future be better?"

“The people in the village who can eat the most have all gone to Jiuchuan. The food and energy that Dad sent can be shared with the Lighthouse. The village can be self-sufficient. The Lighthouse has a lot of people, and there are still a long period of hardship to endure before the farmland they have cultivated yields a good harvest.”

Bai Yuekui said casually.

Bai Yuetian asked, "How much can you allocate to them?"

He originally planned to send all the Lighthouse People to Hisakawa City once the time portal opened.

With the size of Jiuchuan, supporting a mere 10,000 people is absolutely no problem.

But to my surprise, the time-space tunnel remained completely silent.

There is also the possibility of something worse.

Something went wrong on Hisakawa's side; there were no more people left who could open the time portal. But he preferred to believe that the time portal itself had malfunctioned.

"Give them all." Bai Yuekui paused for a moment. "The Three Great Laws have just been abolished, and people's hearts are in turmoil. The Lighthouse needs these supplies to stabilize the situation."

Bai Yuetian gave a thumbs up: "Magnificent!"

Longgu Village itself was not well-supplied with resources, but Bai Yuekui was willing to give all of his resources to the Lighthouse.

At this moment, Bai Yuekui said again, "With this batch of supplies, the situation in the Lighthouse will be stable. Tell their scavengers to behave themselves and not go out for a while. They should come to Dragon Bone Village to learn Guiyuan. Those who do not understand Guiyuan will find it difficult to move an inch on the ground."

Apart from Mars City, Lighthouse is the largest settlement in terms of population.

All other settlements on Earth combined might not even equal half the size of the Lighthouse.

She must protect the lighthouse.

If Mark proves useless, then the war will become a protracted one, requiring large-scale purification of the mana ecosystem on Earth.

The large population base of the lighthouse will be of great help.

Bai Yuetian turned and walked out.

As he reached the door, he turned back and asked, "Yue Kui, if the time-space portal never reopens and Mark doesn't work, what do you plan to do?"

Bai Yuekui calmly replied, "I have nothing but time."

Time was her only remaining friend.

Bai Yuetian fell silent.

After a while, he walked out of the room.

"Move all the food and energy supplies from the cargo containers to the lighthouse's base," he instructed the robot.

“Okay, Moon Sky,” the robot replied.

Click!Click!Click!
The cargo containers, which had been sealed for many days, saw the light of day again. With a loud bang, rows and rows of refrigerated cabinets came into view.

"There are so many shipping containers, they're piled up like a mountain."

Bai Yuetian curiously walked into a cargo box and pressed his face against the cabinet door to look inside.

"Heluo dry red wine?" he exclaimed in surprise. "Why is Dad sending this to the apocalypse? Does he have money to burn?"

Dry red wine is actually a very high-quality wine.

It's not that you can't drink it like water, but it's not really suitable.

"Wait a minute." Bai Yuetian stopped the robot that came in to carry supplies.

"There are too many supplies. Let's not move them all at once. Let's move one-tenth of them first."

"Leave the alcohol behind."

“There are other enjoyable foods as well, and we’ll keep them all.”

This is the end of the world.

Even Yuekui didn't get to enjoy Heluo dry red wine, so Lighthouse should probably be relegated to the back of the list.

These crates are supplies that Dad sent to Yuekui. There must be a lot of things inside that would improve Yuekui's quality of life. Although he may not say it outright, it was definitely sent for Yuekui's benefit.

These kinds of things should all be left to Yue Kui.

"Have you taken stock of what's here?" Bai Yuetian asked the robot.

"Heluo dry red wine, Cupid apple, Eden holy water, Bai Ze dressing mirror, Stone Sword supercar," the robot nodded, reciting a long list of supplies like a menu, leaving Bai Yuetian dizzy.

However, there are indeed many enjoyable elements in it.

For example, there are limited-edition fruits sold around the world at prices comparable to luxury goods, more than a dozen boxes of clothing in the size of Bai Yuekui, covering all seasons and day and night, and even several spacesuits in the shape of Bai Yuekui.

These are clearly prepared specifically for Bai Yuekui.
