The Bizarre Adventure of Pirates

Great.

that is really good!

Not only did Consultant Jon, who went to the rescue alone, not encounter any accidents.

Even the wasteland hunter team was not completely wiped out.

Moreover, the resources needed for the lighthouse have also been found!

She turned to look at Mark and said, "Report to the city lord, the lighthouse is still not destroyed today."

Mark said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your hard work, whether it's you, Consultant Jon, or Mo Cheng and the others.

All of you are the foundation of the lighthouse."

Jingnan smiled but said nothing.

Bingbingzi noticed Mark's loss and quietly held his hand.

Feeling the warmth of his palm, Mark felt warm in his heart.

Yes, everyone is a cornerstone and an indispensable part.

Only he, the city lord, played almost zero role in this crisis.

Whether it is decision-making, remote command, or actual action.

He did nothing.

As the sun was about to set, Jon and the hunting team finally arrived back.

Through the elevator, everyone returned to the lighthouse.

On the way to the resource reserve, they received an unprecedented warm welcome!

"Heroes, you are heroes!"

"Welcome back, hunter!"

"Advisor Jon, Captain Mocheng, look here!"

"You are good!"

Ordinary upper-class people and dust people may not know the danger of forced landing on the lighthouse, but they saw the damage to the suspension thrusters.

it's good now.

With the resources, they can repair the thrusters and keep the lighthouse flying.

As the city lord, Mark personally welcomed the hero of the lighthouse

——Jon and the hunters.

When he saw Mark, Mo Cheng's eyes showed a hint of guilt.

"Captain Mark... No, Lord Mayor, I disappoint you."

"Mo Cheng, we are companions who have been injured and bled together. I know the situation on the ground better than you do. Facing the Extreme Devouring Beast, being able to save one's life is already the greatest military achievement."

Mark patted Mo Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You did a great job."

Yo.

Mark, who only knew how to devour extreme beasts and dig the earth, actually knows how to win people's hearts! ?

Jon raised the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Mark looked over.

"Counselor Jon, I must thank you on behalf of all the members of Lighthouse.

Without you, the lighthouse might be in trouble this time."

"Don't say that. After all, I am also a part of the Lighthouse."

Jon shrugged, "A crash landing on a lighthouse would do me no good."

After a pause, he continued, "I'll tell you something more private later."

Something private?

Mark scratched the back of his head, nodded and agreed: “Okay, after arranging the supplies, we will go to the study to discuss in detail.”

Jon doesn't need to worry about the work of sorting and warehousing.

After driving the individual combat mecha back to the combat readiness depot intact, he returned to his own room and took a nice bath.

After dinner, Mark was done with his work.

The two met in the study.

As soon as he entered, Jon opened the secret room with ease.

Countless question marks appeared above Mark's head.

No.

Is this your study or my study?

Why do I feel like you are more familiar with this place than I am?

Facing Mark's confused look, Jon explained: "The old city lord told me some secrets, secrets about the lighthouse.

I feel like these secrets can’t be kept to myself, so I want to tell you.”

mark:.

After a long silence, he said, "Advisor Jon, why don't you take over as the city lord? I'm really not suitable."

"Let's talk about this later." Jon waved his hand.

After he finished speaking, he took a big step and entered the secret room first.

Mark hesitated for a second and followed him in.

The environment of the secret room is undoubtedly more secretive than that of the study.

The two sat opposite each other.

Jon said, "Don't get excited when you hear what I'm going to say next."

Mark was confused, "Why, you encountered a monarch-level beast again?"

"It's more exciting than the monarch-level beast. I met survivors on the ground." Jon raised a finger and said lightly.

"what?!"

Hearing this, Mark stood up suddenly.

He stared at Jon, "Survivors on the ground! You mean, there are still humans on the ground?"

“Yes, and more than one.

Remember the last time we encountered the Monarch-class Devouring Beast, we were saved by a mysterious short-haired woman with white hair? I met her again this time.

She calls herself Bai Yuekui."

"Bai Yuekui" Mark repeated the name.

Then, he couldn't sit still any longer.

He walked around in circles in the secret room, muttering to himself, "I knew it! I knew there must be humans on the ground! Great! There is hope for the Lighthouse!"

Jon said at the right time: "Not only that, the humans on the ground have also developed a strange technology that is different from what the lighthouse has.

I suspect they can use the life essence."

The words are not surprising and die endlessly.

Mark opened his mouth, completely speechless.

The "source of life" is something that can only be absorbed by the Extreme Beast. Without the "source of life", humans will turn into shells and into flesh and soil.

And now, this strange energy can also be used by humans?

It’s incredible!

"I told you not to get excited."

Jon felt helpless.

"Is there any contact information? You and that guy, Bai Yuekui, did you leave contact information with Bai Yuekui?" Mark asked anxiously.

Jon shook his head.

"No."

Then he changed the subject, "But."

He looked at Mark, whose face was ashen, with amusement, "It seems that humans on the ground can sense the location of the life "source", that is to say, they can sense the lighthouse at any time.

As long as we actively send out signals, they can see it.”

"That's it~"

Mark rubbed his hands.

Although he wanted to contact the survivors on the ground to find a way out for the humans in the lighthouse, he thought that the current situation in the lighthouse was not very good.

So, he tried his best to suppress the thoughts in his mind.

"Let's wait until the lighthouse's thrusters are fully repaired before we decide whether or not to establish contact with the survivors on the ground," he said word by word.

Jon raised his second finger. "Okay, this is the first secret I want to tell you. Now, it's time for the second one."

The second one?!

Mark swallowed unconsciously.

Jon said: "After a long period of observation, I found that you are different from ordinary humans.

At first, I thought it was the result of genetic optimization and racial selection, but later I found out.”

He pointed at Mark and said, "You don't look like a human."

mark:.

What do you mean I'm not human?

Don't I look like a human?

He looked at Jon suspiciously.

Jon explained: "Normal humans don't have such strong physical fitness as you, and this cannot be explained simply by genetic optimization.

If you have not practiced some special skills or abilities, then you definitely cannot be a human being.

And let me tell you clearly, there is a cut-open brain in the core area of ​​the lighthouse. The race is unknown, but it is definitely not a human brain.

You, Mark, are the baby that the first lord of the Lighthouse found based on the revelation of the brain. "

Mark was dumbfounded.

Compared with the survivors on the ground, the information that was obviously related to him was more shocking.

"But that's not right. I have a sister." Mark's mind was in a mess.

Jon patted his shoulder and said, “I don’t really understand what the situation is.

Anyway, I have told you everything I know."

Mark was silent for a long time.

He let out a long breath, "I want to say thank you to you, and please don't tell anyone else about this news for the time being."

"What are you going to do?" Jon asked.

Hearing this, Mark showed his usual cheerful smile, "Whether I am a human or not, as you said, I am a part of the lighthouse.

Now, he is the city lord who protects all the people in the lighthouse!

What else?

I'm going to do what I have to do, that's all."

Being kind also has its benefits.

At least it makes you feel that this person is very sincere.
