From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

While you were surviving on the ground, you may have seen the concept of 'currency' in books in some libraries. The contribution point is digital currency, which has no physical form. The Lighthouse cannot possibly manufacture extra paper money or metal currency just for the three of you.

Contribution points can be recorded on the identity card.

During the six-month observation period, I may make an exception and grant you citizenship certificates and arrange corresponding employment.

"unnecessary."

Red Girl stretched out her right hand, revealing the storage ring on her index finger—he had given the storage ring to her before parting ways with Jiang Liu.

She raised her finger and touched her storage ring, and a bag of rice, about half a meter long and thirty centimeters wide, appeared, filled with white rice. Then she took out a peach, a handful of green vegetables, a large pile of raw meat from livestock, and so on. Finally, she put it back into her storage ring and said, "Clothing, food, and transportation are all things we can take care of ourselves."

“If you think we’re staying for free during our investigation, we can pay some rent, for example, by going down and capturing some live Devouring Beasts for your research,” Lu Jin added.

Charles remained silent, his gaze fixed on the ring on the girl's index finger, a chill running through him—

Space compression technology!?

The reason Hong Guniang showed it was because the matter couldn't be kept secret, so she might as well be "honest".

Besides, it's also because "he who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding".

The three of them could tell that Charles was not a good person... Of course, talking about "goodness" in this end times is a bit too harsh, but as practitioners, the three of them had their own bottom line and did not want to have too much contact with Charles, lest they fall into the predicament of "injustice".

Zhang Zhiwei's previous almost boastful manner was nothing more than a deliberate attempt to establish a "flamboyant" persona for himself, to announce to all the people of the Lighthouse, including the commoners and the elite:

Here they come!

Firstly.

Literally, it's a greeting to all the people of the lighthouse.

Secondly?

They were just passing through. If the higher-ups at the Lighthouse wanted to forcibly obtain something from them, then this greeting would be the "courtesy first" of the "courtesy before force" approach.

"The lighthouse is a sanctuary for all mankind," Charles replied to Lu Jin, implying:

No rent required!

That's how it is.

Zhang Zhiwei, Hong Guniang, and Lu Jin temporarily stayed at the Lighthouse, but not in private rooms belonging to the upper class; instead, they lived in pigeon coops belonging to the lower class.

This wasn't something Charles deliberately arranged; it was the three of them who chose it themselves, and the reasons they gave were as follows—

Zhang Zhiwei enjoys lively atmospheres.

Red Girl longs for the rising sun.

Lu Jin's reasoning is the same as above.

There was nothing we could do.

Charles had no choice but to agree before he could find out the specifics of the three men.

after that.

Charles summoned all the important personnel, including his shadow, to the city lord's command hall and transmitted the video footage recorded during the hunter operation to the communication screens in everyone's hands, saying, "Take a look at the performance of those three."

The video shows Zhang Zhiwei, Lu Jin, and Hong Guniang jumping off an abandoned building more than 50 meters high, as if gliding or flying. Zhang Zhiwei, in particular, has a punch and a kick with the strength of several tons. He can knock the flower calyx beast nearly 100 meters away with a single blow. He can even release lightning with his hands and turn into golden light, easily passing through the flower calyx beast's body. He is simply not human.

Lu Jin and Hong Guniang also performed exceptionally well. One wielded throwing knives, and the other threw nails. Every eel they hit lost its ability to move, its flesh and blood dissolving into life-giving soil.

"this···"

Although Suiying had witnessed Lu Jin pulling out a spiky eel with his bare hands on the ground, the shock was far less than that of the video recorded by the hunter's recording device.

What Jade said was not an exaggeration, but an objective description!

These three can indeed "fly"!

# Chapter 1135 The Meeting? All Heard!

"Lord City Lord, I think they are excellent research subjects! If we include them in the experiments of the Abyss Walkers, we might succeed very quickly!"

Dr. Carrie from the Institute of Ecology's eyes lit up with amazement, "Everyone present... well, not everyone."

Apart from the newly promoted Shadow Captain, we old guys were all witnesses to that event and know exactly how the Abyss Armor came to be.

After taking office, the city lord must have learned about that past event...

Perhaps only someone like that woman is qualified to wield the Abyss Armor.

Before Charles could speak, Seng immediately said, "Lord City Lord, the Abyss Project has already sacrificed many innocent lives, and it absolutely cannot continue!"

The city's defense forces are absolutely capable of protecting the lighthouse!

"City defense troops?"

Dr. Carrie scoffed, "You bunch of good-for-nothings, all you do is swagger around on the lighthouse. None of you have ever actually fought a Devourer head-on. If one day the Devourer really evolves into a flying type, you'll be lucky if you don't mutiny."

"you!"

Seng's eyes widened in fury, his whole body trembling with rage. He bowed to Charles again and said, "Lord of the City, I propose that Carrie be impeached. Her experiments are too dangerous!"

"enough!"

Charles growled, then coughed twice, his face turning even paler.

"Lord City Lord!"

Seeing this, Fan Lu quickly bent down to support Charles's shoulder, looking concerned.

"It's alright."

Charles gently pushed Fan Lu aside, looked at Carrie, and said calmly, "The Abyss Plan will continue, but we need to pass the theoretical test first."

"Lord City Lord, the Abyss Warrior Armor doesn't need theoretical simulations, but rather real-world testing..."

"Dr. Carrie."

Before she could finish speaking, Fan Lu, standing beside Charles, rebuked her in an unquestionable tone, "The Lord's orders are to be obeyed, not to be discussed."

When it is time to conduct human experiments, the city lord will make his own decision.

just now.

You just need to do your job well.

Carrie didn't want to pay any attention to this vase at all. She just stared at Charles, but seeing that his only remaining left eye showed no emotion, she shut her mouth, didn't report, and turned and left the central command hall.

"Regarding Zhang Zhiwei, Hong Guniang, and Lu Jin's free movement on the lighthouse, during the inspection period, apart from some confidential rooms, they are free to go wherever they want, as long as they don't cause trouble. Give them the greatest convenience," Charles instructed.

Sengge, however, was displeased and said anxiously, "Lord City Lord, we can't set this precedent!"

"Although I didn't witness the process of obtaining the Abyss Warrior firsthand, I did read through the diary left by the previous city lord and got a general idea of ​​it. His individual abilities were extremely powerful, and he almost wiped out the entire generation of hunters. That woman also needed to wear the Abyss Warrior armor to so easily kill a two-jawed beast, but Zhang Zhiwei only relied on his physical strength."

Charles patiently explained, adding, "They may have other purposes for the lighthouse, but they currently show no inclination to be hostile towards us..."

Until we have complete control over them...

"Unless absolutely necessary, do not deliberately cause them trouble; otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

"Yes, City Lord!"

Seeing that Charles had made up his mind, Seng dared not argue anymore.

After everyone else returned to their posts, Charles kept Jingnan and Suiying behind.

"Following the shadow."

"Yes, Lord City Lord!"

Sui Ying hurriedly knelt on one knee and bowed her head, her attitude one of utmost respect.

“You’re the one who found those three, so you can keep in touch with them. But don’t have any inappropriate thoughts, understand?” Charles gave the order, then added a reminder.

"Understood!"

Sui Ying's heart tightened, and she quickly agreed, slowly leaving the central command hall.

Jingnan watched Suiying's cautious back until he was completely gone before turning back to Charles and asking, "Is Mark's throat being slit related to you?"

“I asked you to stay because I have something to tell you, not to talk about these trivial matters.”

Charles coughed again, his voice hoarse, "But Mark really needs to be brought back to the Lighthouse, brought back alive. He may be the key to solving this disaster. And only by bringing Mark back can Shadow truly secure his position as the Hunter Commander. Before that, no matter how much he contributes, the Hunters will not truly be convinced by him."

Upon hearing this, Jing Nan frowned and asked, "All Beings Follow Shadows... You really think highly of him, but I must remind you, don't push him too far, or the backlash could be very severe."

"He is a sentimental person, and also a smart one."

Charles chuckled. "That Zhang Zhiwei is also a smart man. He just managed to guess most of the rules of the lighthouse from the words of the common people and the upper class after the hunters circled the lighthouse once. But he's not exactly smart either."

Otherwise, they wouldn't be showing off in front of me.

Young people always love to show off.

Jing Nan's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Don't worry, I made myself clear when the others were around, so why would I provoke them?"

Charles reassured Jingnan, then added, "Among us lighthouse managers, you're the only one who's...amiable and approachable."

In your spare time, you can also chat with them, gather intelligence, learn about their superpowers, and determine the location of their survivor settlements on the ground.

Although the population of Lighthouse is in the tens of thousands, the more genetically superior humans the better.

Their ability to survive in such a harsh environment on the ground must mean that their genes are superior to those of everyone in the Lighthouse!

But no matter how powerful we become, in less than a hundred years, our genes will still belong to the human category, and we will still be the same species as them!

Evolution cannot be achieved overnight!

Their arrival is very likely due to the protection of the Lord of Light and Shadow!

Lord of Light and Shadow?

Jingnan did take Charles's first few sentences to heart, after all, it was for the sake of the lighthouse.

But the last sentence made her frown, and for the first time she even suspected that after being the head of the Light and Shadow Society for so many years, Charles, like the Dust People of the Lighthouse and more than half of the Upper People, was deceiving himself and really believing that the ethereal Lord of Light and Shadow really existed.

These high-ranking officials were well aware that the promulgation of the Three Laws and the establishment of the Light and Shadow Society were ultimately for the sake of maintaining order.

However, Charles was injured and the scarlet pigment in his body could not be cleared. Jing Nan could not provoke him further, so he could only agree and leave the central command hall.
