monster battlefield

Chapter 151 It's Impossible
As soon as Zhou Shu and the others left, another beautiful woman came in from the distribution room. She was Miss Yu in military uniform and Jing Nan, the chief commander of the navigation control room.

She was smiling at the beginning, but when she passed by the Bearer of Light, her face darkened instantly, and when she saw Mark and Ran Bing, a smile appeared on her face again.

She came over, put one hand on her hip, and pointedly said to Mark: "It seems that I am not the only one who wants to express 'thank you' to the wild hunters."

Mark shook his head slightly when he heard the words, and then jokingly said: "Are you not staying in the control room, do you let the lighthouse wander in the sky like this?"

Jing Nan didn't expect Mark to be so humorous, and said with a sweet smile: "This time the hunters have returned with a full load, and the city lord ordered that today's court meeting..."

As she said that, she tilted her head and looked at Ran Bing, stretched out her hand and said gently: "Bring your adjutant~"

Ran Bing looked confused, blinked and pointed at himself and said, "Me?"

"Yes, it's you." Jing Nan said with a smile.

After that, the three of them went to the central elevator shaft through the internal passage, which is the "military and civilian dual-use" thing.

When encountering a king-level pole devouring beast, it is the launching track of the central electromagnetic gun, but it is usually only used as an elevator connecting various core departments, and only those with high enough authority can use it.

Entering the elevator, the elevator started to go up after Jing Nan scanned the fingerprints of his palm, because it was the first time for Ran Bing to come here, so he looked left and right curiously.

At this time, Jingnan said to Mark: "In the last few missions, the hunters have hardly collected ground samples, and the research work on the doomsday ecology has stagnated."

Mark thought for a while and said: "There may be something you want in the delta two hundred kilometers away. I will organize the next collection mission in a week, but don't forget that the job of the hunter is to bring back the supplies."

As he spoke, he sighed: "The guys below are getting more and more difficult to deal with. Their multiplication rate has exceeded our expectations. This time, we almost wiped out the entire army just by collecting supplies."

What Mark said surprised Jingnan, which was different from the general information she had received, so she hurriedly asked: "What's going on? I heard that the number of people returning is basically not small, and the supplies brought back are nearly The most once in three years, how could the entire army be almost wiped out?"

"We encountered a large number of extreme devouring beasts at the collection site, but according to the investigation and data calculations, there should not be extreme devouring beasts there, but they did appear..."

Just as he was talking, the elevator arrived. There were city defense troops standing guard outside the central command hall. When the door opened, Mark stopped talking. After all, there are some things that ordinary people can't hear.

He walked out of the elevator and said to Jingnan: "Anyway, this mission is quite mysterious, and you will know when the mission report is made later."

Jingnan: "..."

This is half the story, it is simply uncomfortable!
After they got out of the ladder, Jingnan asked them to clean their personal hygiene first. Although they didn't have time to take a shower, they at least washed their faces and swept the dust off their bodies.

In the central command hall, the old city lord sat on a seat on the high platform, and the people standing below were all in charge of various departments.

Many city defense army guards stood around, dozens of ornamental fish swimming leisurely in the huge water tank.

The setting sun not only reflected the sky into golden red, but through the huge viewing window, the entire central command hall was also the same color.

"Let's get started," the city lord Morgan said.

Victor, the chief commander of the city defense, was standing next to him. The commander's right hand was a mechanical arm, and his right cheek was also severely burned. He was obviously a master who had experienced many battles.

He looked at the people standing below and said with a straight face: "Departments, start reporting."

Hearing this, Ran Bing, who was participating in the court meeting for the first time, coughed a little to embolden himself, took a step forward and said: "Report to the City Lord, the materials collected by the hunters this time mainly include controllable energy, compressed food, rare Metal, and some old world fighting equipment.”

After she finished speaking, she immediately backed away, and then straddled to stand up.

At this time, Jingnan answered, "According to statistics, these materials can be used by the lighthouse for a minimum of six months, but the lighthouse lost part of its medicine reserves when it passed through the turbulent layer of the storm. We need more medicines for the next collection mission."

In half a year, this is definitely good news for the lighthouse. Even the serious city lord smiled slightly, but it also made the wrinkles on his face more obvious.

Victor said again: "Report the battle damage."

Jingnan also spoke again, with a faint smile on his face: "The losses of the wild hunters this time are extremely small, there are no deaths, and the number of injuries of Shangmin and Chenmin are both in single digits, and they are calculated according to the life formula. , all have therapeutic value, will not consume much medicine, and can continue to work for the lighthouse after recovery."

Hearing this, the expressions of the people present were different, but most of them were happy expressions, especially the city lord who had been calm all the time, his smile turned into joy, and he said: "Okay."

He said and looked at Mark: "Mark, you did a very good job this time."

Mark said: "This is what I should do."

However, there is one person whose expression is not quite right, that is the head of the Church of Light and Shadow, Charles, a handsome yellow-haired man.

He frowned deeply now, and glanced at Mark without a trace, with a hint of resentment and impatience in his eyes.

He did this not because Mark did a good job, but just because the man in the seat praised Mark.

Fortunately, his attitude alone did not affect the joy of the entire command hall, and he hid it well so that no one else could find out.

Immediately afterwards, Victor said with a slight smile: "Report on the population supply situation."

Hearing this, Elon, the white-haired instructor, took a step forward and said: "In the normal cycle of the supply chain of high-quality population, in the process of teaching together, combatants who have reached the age of 16 and have received military training for the doomsday can immediately go into battle."

"In the genetic optimization process, suitable Shangmin has also been arranged to enter the Dawn Hall to perform breeding tasks. Each batch of supply population undergoes strict training at the corresponding age."

The good news came one after another, and the smiles on the face of Morgan Santo became more and more. The more prosperous the lighthouse, the less pressure he had. At this moment, Victor hadn't announced the next item, and a voice didn't Any hint of omen stepped in.

"Master City Lord," the yellow-haired Charles took the initiative to step forward, then bowed slightly gracefully, and said politely: "The people of the lighthouse are very stable under the protection of the Lord of Light and Shadow..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was an old man. Carrie, the medical and ecological director of the lighthouse, immediately yawned out of boredom. Standing next to her, Ran Bing, who was participating in the court meeting for the first time, was a little dazed.

Can serious court discussions still be like this?
On the other side, Charles was still beeping: "The Lord of Light and Shadow sent an oracle, and He said that the convoy would return intact and fully loaded with supplies, but that's it, there are still Shangmin injured, I think, is the wild hunter Are you slack in action...?"

Finally, he looked directly at Mark.

Mark didn't even look at him, but took a step forward and said, "Sir City Lord, the hunters have made important discoveries about the situation on the ground."

As soon as they heard this, everyone became energetic. Carrie, the medical and ecological director, immediately stopped feeling sleepy, stopped yawning, and stared at Mark with bright eyes.

Mark got the most resources with the least casualties this time. Could it be that something beneficial to mankind happened on the ground?
Without caring what other people think, Mark said directly: "The speed of the proliferation of the beasts exceeded our expectations. This time we have encountered a large herd that we should not have encountered, and there are also super large beasts in the panbiotic species. size, but most importantly, we found humans on the ground."

Hearing this, except for Ran Bing, everyone was stunned, and Charles the Golden Retriever twitched his lips and applauded with a smile: "Wonderful, wonderful, it's really heroic to be able to break through the encirclement among the herd of beasts with supplies, but ..."

The golden retriever walked up to Mark with a smile, showing concern for Mark's IQ: "Captain Mark, you said there are people on the ground, this is impossible."

"We haven't encountered any survivors on the ground for more than 20 years, and you also said that the proliferation rate of the extreme beasts has exceeded expectations, and it is even more powerful than before. Then it is even more impossible for humans to survive on the ground."

"Captain Mark, the logic of what you said contradicts the logic. It can't be fishy... that interferes with your judgment, right?"

At this time, compared to the doubts of others, the behavior of the three girls was somewhat different.

Ran Bing, who has seen Zhou Shu, and even seen Zhou Shu fight monsters, really wanted to prove that what Mark said was not logically wrong. The pole-eating beasts on the ground were indeed powerful, exceeding their expectations, but humans on the ground were even more powerful. Amazing!

But she herself is the hunter's adjutant, and Mark is her boss. This kind of "self-certification" is not convincing enough.

And Jingnan looked at Mark's figure, crossed her arms thoughtfully, she was thinking about the conversation in the elevator, was that what Mark was going to say at that time?

She thinks that she knows Mark better and knows that Mark will not lie, so there is an 80% chance that what she said is true.

But at this time, there are still humans living on the ground, which is a bit unbelievable.

The one who was most shocked was the bearer of light, because she suddenly thought of the person who had no identity and whose shadow value reached the dangerous border.

Now that I think about it carefully, that person has a feeling of being out of place with the lighthouse.

She really wanted to step forward to remind him the first sentence, but it was too late. Mark gave Charles a cold look and suddenly smiled.

"Maybe. Fortunately, I have already brought that human to the lighthouse. My judgment is limited, but as long as I compare the number of people in the lighthouse and his information, I will know whether he is a person on the lighthouse. What do you think?" , Mr. Huishou?"

Charles, who had a smug face just now, was directly annoyed: "You..."

But before he could say anything, Mark ignored him, raised his head and said, "My lord, the reason why only a few people were injured this time and we brought back a lot of supplies is because of Zhou Shu's help."

"And Zhou Shu is what I call a human on the ground."
