Chapter 1024! Lighthouse Meeting
Chapter 1024! Lighthouse Meeting
……
The three of them didn't continue talking about this topic. After all, they had to go to the conference room for a meeting later, so they left not long after.
To get to the meeting room, one had to go through the central elevator shaft of the lighthouse. At the entrance of the elevator shaft on this floor, the three met Mark and Ran Bing, who had also been called to the meeting.
"Hi, Shen Ye." As soon as the two met, Ran Bing raised her little hand and waved at him. She was a lively girl and could not stay quiet at all.
Mark, who was much calmer, just nodded to Shen Ye and Jing Nan, but when he faced Hong Kou, a smile appeared on his face and he called her "Sister Hong Kou".
After greeting each other, the group of five entered the elevator shaft together and walked up the stairs to the large elevator above.
Although Ran Bing was a high-ranking official and the adjutant of the Wasteland Hunters, this was her first time entering the elevator shaft. She was looking around curiously and exclaimed, "Wow, this is the launch track for the central electromagnetic cannon, right? Amazing!"
Jingnan seemed to like this lively little girl very much. She looked back at Ran Bing from the front and chuckled, "Yes, but this place is usually only used as an internal connection channel for major core departments."
"Is that so?" Ran Bing suddenly sped up and ran to Jingnan's side, asking curiously, "I heard that once it's launched, the entire lighthouse's power system will be paralyzed for three minutes. Is that true?"
"That's right." Jing Nan nodded. "But it's only used when facing the threat of a king-level Extreme Devouring Beast... Shen Ye, aren't you curious about this?"
She noticed that since Shen Ye came in, he had been following her calmly and walking side by side with Hong Kou, without saying a word or showing any surprise.
"A little, but not much." Shen Ye shrugged casually. If it were the old him, he would probably sigh a few words, but now, the only thing that makes him curious is whether the lighthouse will fall from the sky if the power system is paralyzed for three minutes.
Thinking of this, he simply took the opportunity to ask this question, and then he found that he was not the only one who was curious about this question, Hong Kou, Ran Bing and Mark all showed curious expressions.
At this time, the five people had already walked to the door of the large elevator. Jingnan began to answer this question after opening the elevator door with his fingerprint.
Soon, after Jingnan explained that the lighthouse also had backup power specifically provided for the flight system, the elevator reached the top floor of the lighthouse. Then the group walked out of the elevator and entered the conference room one by one.
And the moment Shen Ye followed Jingnan into the conference room, everyone in the conference room turned their heads at the same time, and their eyes fell on him.
The looks of these people were complicated, with all kinds of expressions, including curiosity, questioning, hostility, and a look of hostility mixed with a hint of strangeness that was hard to explain.
Shen Ye glanced at the owner of that gaze and found that it was the Light Bearer. He smiled at her, and then was blocked by the sharp-eyed Hong Kou with his body.
Ok……
Shrugging helplessly, Shen Ye began to look at the other people in the conference room, but he just glanced at most of them, including Charles. He only stayed for a few seconds on the few characters in the plot that he was more interested in. Finally, his gaze completely stopped on the white-haired old man sitting on the podium in the conference room.
He is the supreme ruler of the lighthouse... Lord Morgan.
At this time, City Lord Morgan was also looking at Shen Ye. With his back against the setting sun, he was shrouded in the light, making it difficult for other people in the lighthouse to see the emotional fluctuations in his eyes. However, Shen Ye could clearly see the complexity and other invisible expressions in the other's eyes.
After staring at each other for a while, City Lord Morgan lowered his eyes slightly, and said in an old but majestic voice: "Let's begin."
A man with a mechanical arm standing beside him took a step forward. He was Victor, the commander-in-chief of the Lighthouse City Defense.
Then, after scanning the area, he announced loudly: "All departments, begin reporting."
Just like in anime, Ran Bing stepped forward first. She coughed nervously twice before saying, "Reporting to the City Lord, the supplies collected by the wasteland hunters this time mainly include controllable energy, compressed food, rare metals, and some combat equipment from the Old World."
Jingnan was next: "According to statistics, the supplies collected this time can supply the lighthouse for at least three months. However, when the lighthouse passed through the turbulent layer, some of its medical supplies were lost."
"Hmm!" City Lord Morgan nodded. After looking up at Shen Ye, he continued to ask Jingnan: "What about the battle damage?"
Jing Nan also glanced at Shen Ye and said, "According to statistics, in this material collection operation, thanks to Mr. Shen Ye's help, only one upper civilian was sacrificed and one dust civilian died. Several other upper civilians and dust civilians were slightly injured. However, after examination, they are expected to recover in three to five days and return to work."
"Hmm!" City Lord Morgan nodded in satisfaction this time, but immediately asked, "Did you bring back the body of the sacrificed Shangmin?"
"I'm sorry, Lord City Lord, no." This time it was Mark who answered. He stepped forward and said, "The spaceship was full of Extreme Devouring Beasts at the time, so we had no choice but to evacuate."
"You don't have to apologize, Mark. You did the right thing." Mayor Morgan waved his hand at him. "The most important thing is to ensure the safety of the majority of the team... Well, the others can continue."
As Mark stepped back, the heads of other departments also stood up one by one. Even Hong Kou stood up lazily and said a few words, but before she finished speaking, Morgan interrupted her and asked her to return to her original position.
After the Red Bandits returned to their original positions, the next person to appear was Charles, the villain that Shen Ye always felt disgusted with.
At this moment, this fellow, whose faith in the so-called Lord of Light and Shadow had driven him nearly insane, was giving an impassioned speech: "Under the protection of the Lord of Light and Shadow, the people of the Lighthouse live a very stable life. The warriors who have returned are also undergoing purification by the Lord of Light and Shadow. In addition..."
Since the loss was small this time, he did not have the opportunity to use the casualties of the scavengers to attack Mark. He could only use this kind of speech to brainwash other people in the meeting room.
However, everyone who could enter the conference room was either a shrewd or a pragmatic person. They all showed disdain for his brainwashing rhetoric. Carrie, the director of the medical and ecological area, even yawned. Obviously, in her opinion, this rhetoric was the best lullaby.
Even the Light Bearer, the enforcer of the Church of Light and Shadow, did not hear clearly what he was saying. He just glanced at Shen Ye from time to time, and then recalled in his heart the tingling pleasure he had felt in his body not long ago.
