Ling Cage: Many Children, Many Blessings - I Became the Head of Dawn

Qin Song nodded slightly; this aloof sniper's observation was quite accurate.

Recently, there have been frequent cases of Dust People taking risks to steal food. Years of repression have caused the Dust People's emotions to accumulate to a critical point, and a riot may break out if not handled carefully.

Morgan must have realized it too, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to Qin Song forming a special forces team so easily.

Qin Song glanced at the time, stepped forward, and tapped the ground with his staff. "Quiet!"

The scene gradually became quiet.

He proclaimed, “The Holy Light will never abandon His people! Now, an opportunity is before you, an opportunity to change your destiny.”

"The Holy Light only favors those who are fearless!"

May the Holy Light be with you!

After speaking, Qin Song cast a healing spell, and a beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping him.

The common people bowed deeply and chanted in fervor, "May the Holy Light be with you!"

[Ding! You have gained 1000 points of wish power.]

Qin Song nodded in satisfaction. Making such a big fuss was definitely worth it.

Fan Lu, standing beside him, felt a surge of heat coursing through his body, as if his long-standing ailment had been cured, leaving him feeling incredibly refreshed.

She was utterly shocked.

She had only heard about it before; this was the first time she had witnessed a miracle in person.

"The Lord of Light and Shadow has appeared!"

Her gaze toward Qin Song gradually became fervent.

When she was first assigned to Qin Song's side, she was just doing it as a formality.

But now, she feels like she's hit the jackpot.

Just then, Qin Song's voice woke her up, "Fanlu, we can begin."

Fan Lu snapped out of his daze, quickly bowed to him, then pulled out his pistol and fired into the sky.

The loud gunshots filled the Dust People with terror; some even crouched on the ground with their hands covering their heads, while only a few remained standing.

Even Ran Bing and the others were startled.

Fan Lu said calmly to the Vinaya priest beside him, "Have you taken pictures of everything?"

The priest nodded and put away the camera in his hand.

Fan Lu coldly surveyed the room, "Those who retreat are eliminated, those who put their heads down are eliminated, and you have 10 seconds to leave."

The common people immediately began to clamor.

"I was just startled!"

"Why? I don't accept it!"

"That's right! Even the hunters were scared!"

Fan Lu fired another shot at the ground in front, and many people immediately retreated.

"Those who make a disturbance will be punished with six lashes! Those who disobey will be punished with twelve lashes!"

Now no one dared to cause trouble. If someone was injured by the whipping, not only would they not receive medical treatment, but they would probably be unable to work for several days and would starve to death.

Before long, most of the dust people had left.

But some still tried to slip through the net. The photographer pointed at a commoner and shouted, "Beat him!"

The two priests immediately dragged the man out and gave him a severe beating.

The man begged for mercy while screaming in agony.

Ran Bing couldn't stand it and wanted to speak up to stop it, but Mark stopped her.

"Being eliminated may not be a bad thing; at least they can survive."

Then many more people ran away.

The eliminated mortals did not leave, but watched from afar with envy on their faces.

Qin Song looked around and saw that there were less than 30 people left, including the few people brought by 4068.

He wasn't disappointed; in the early stages, there was less willpower, so not much was needed.

"You've taken all the hard labor from us hunters!" Erica saw many familiar faces; they were the ones who often followed the hunters to the surface to collect supplies.

Qin Song said indifferently, "Anyway, you don't lack workers... Fan Lu, continue."

Fanlu gestured to 4068.

4068 took out a notebook, "Line up, one by one, come and register here..."

In the office, Qin Song leaned back in his boss's chair.

Mark and the others sat to the side, their faces full of curiosity.

This was the first time they had ever seen such a formal interview.

In the past, when the Hunters recruited new members, they directly selected them from the highest to the lowest scores according to the criteria set by the Gongzi Education Center, leaving them with no choice at all.

Soon the first hunter was brought in.

This is a robust young man. In those days when the common people couldn't even get enough to eat, it was truly remarkable that this guy could look like this. This person is 4068's friend, 4079.

"Are you afraid of dying?" Qin Song asked directly.

Chapter 25 Holy Light, grant me power!

4079 was taken aback, then shook his head, "I'm not afraid!"

Qin Song tossed an apple at 4068, saying, "Put it on his head."

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, Qin Song pulled out a pistol and fired a shot at the top of 4079's head.

The apples burst open like a shower of flowers.

4079's legs went weak, and he sat down on the ground.

Mark and the others were also startled. Why did the special forces open fire without warning?

Qin Song shook his head. "Next."

4079 realized what was happening and hurriedly pleaded, "Please give me another chance!"

"Insolence!" Fan Lu shouted coldly, "Get out!"

4068 glared at 4079 with disappointment. This was the partner he had placed high hopes on, but he turned out to be a coward.

He grabbed it and dragged it outside.

The second one, number 9539, was extremely thin and bony.

Qin Song followed the same method.

Although 9539 was still somewhat shaken, he remained calm.

Qin Song asked, "Why do you want to join the special forces? Aren't you afraid of dying on the ground?"

9539 said in a deep voice, "I have cancer and only have a few days left to live. I don't want to just drift along and wait to die. This is my only chance in this life."

Qin Song nodded slightly. "Very good! Congratulations on becoming the third member of the special forces team."

9539 was overjoyed and bowed slightly, "Thank you, Staff Officer!"

"You can call me Captain from now on."

"Yes! Captain!"

Erica jumped out, her eyes shining, "That's easy? I can do it too!"

She loves playing with guns the most.

"Erica, stop fooling around!" Ran Bing quickly pulled her back.

This hunter, acting as both a meat shield and a heavy firepower provider, must not be allowed to be taken down by the special forces.

Erica stuck out her tongue, but her eyes still showed eagerness.

She made up her mind that if the special forces went to the ground, she would find a chance to follow them; it would definitely be a lot of fun.

In the end, a total of 15 people were admitted, including 4277.

Fifteen people stood in a row in front of the square.

Everyone had a different expression, some were excited, some were calm, and some were numb.

The age range is also quite large, including teenagers as young as fourteen or fifteen, young men in their twenties, and elderly people in their fifties or sixties.

The people watching from afar were filled with envy.

This is the only chance for the people of Lighthouse to change their fate in decades!

Soon people started whispering among themselves.

"Hey! Look, there are a few old guys!"

"How did those old guys get chosen?"

"There's something fishy going on! They definitely used connections!"

"I can fuck you too!"

The hunters' faces were also full of questions.

The first few young people hired were alright, but things got more and more outrageous as time went on.

Some of them even doubted whether they could still run away if they encountered a Devouring Beast.

Mark frowned. "What are you planning to do next?"

Qin Song laughed and said, "Of course, we should start with training in firearms, Devouring Beasts, and basic survival skills. How about you Wilderness Hunters help with this?"

Mark paused, then shook his head. "They can't train us hunters."

It wasn't that he was unwilling to help, but the elderly, women, and children were too vulnerable, and teaching them wouldn't be of any use.

Qin Song said confidently, "You'll find out soon enough whether they can do it or not. I guarantee their physical fitness is no weaker than yours, the ordinary hunters."

Mark looked at Qin Song as if he were an idiot.

Are you kidding me? Any random hunter could take down these 15 people.

Qin Song turned his gaze to Mo Cheng, "I think this guy is quite suitable to be a teacher. I heard he's in charge of training reserve hunters?"

Mo Cheng's lips twitched.

"Hey, don't give orders randomly! I can't train these top-notch individuals."

If these people die after being trained by him and then go down to the ground, wouldn't that ruin his lifelong reputation?

"What? Don't you hunters want to contribute to the lighthouse?" Qin Song used a provocation tactic.

Mark smiled faintly: "If their physical fitness can reach what you described, why not let Mexico City train them?"

"Alright! This is Captain Mark's promise."

Mo Cheng was speechless; he was truly caught in the crossfire even when he was lying down.

Qin Song stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over each member of the special forces team. "The Holy Light has chosen you. Are you willing to fight for the Holy Light from now on?"

"Yes!" the 15 people shouted in unison.

Qin Song glanced at the system panel. He currently only had 1100 points of wish power, and the blessing attribute points required 100 points per person, which was not enough.

He turned his gaze to the distant dust people, and decided to continue with a little shock.

He pointed to one of the hunched-over old women in the special forces team, "0909, come here."

0909 had a deadpan expression and didn't panic at being called out in public. She limped over to Qin Song.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will be on the next list of travelers.

Qin Song slightly raised the Scepter of the Redeemer, "Holy Light, grant me power!"

[Ding! Consume 100 points of Blessing Power attribute points? The follower's attribute points will increase as the host levels up, up to a maximum of 50 points.]
