The sunshine is very good today, and white clouds like cotton candy float peacefully in the sky along with the lighthouse.
The domed farm is full of greenery.
Beautiful is like an oil painting.
But Mark's mood was gray. He didn't dare to accept Ran Bing's love, and he couldn't accept it.
That love was so heavy that her life could not bear it.
"Why?" She asked with a tearful voice, which made Mark feel a piece of his heart missing.
But now is not the time to be soft-hearted.
"This is an order. All the hunters have to do is obey." He turned around and asked angrily with a straight face: "Have all the pole-devouring beasts been killed? Is the ground safe? The body of the hunter, you
Can you count them?"
Ran Bing's sadness was visible to the naked eye, and the look of despair in his eyes was heartbreaking. He lowered his head and murmured: "I'm going to the Dawn Hall...just tonight."
Ever since he was a child, Mark had never seen her so helpless.
But he still turned around with a hard heart: "Complete your mission."
Only in this way can you live.
The breeding mission is the first of the three laws. Refusing the mission is a felony that hinders genetic optimization and will be punished by death!
Having feelings from the old era violates the second of the three laws: breaking up family relationships will result in being burned at the stake!
There is no room for love in a lighthouse. The most important thing in the last days is to stay alive.
Mark returned to the hunter's station in a daze, hitting the sandbags with all his strength, trying to squeeze out every ounce of strength from his body to stop himself from thinking wildly.
Even though the blood on his hands was soaked into the bandages, and even though every punch was painful, he still punched the sandbags one after another.
The sun gradually set in the west, the sky became darker and darker, and his heart ached more and more.
Everyone could see that he was in a bad mood, and no one dared to interrupt his venting.
Night slowly fell, and he was left alone in the training ground. The sound of hitting the sandbags echoed in the empty field. It was not until a pistol was pointed at his back that the abuse of training equipment stopped.
Come down.
"Captain Mark, please take me to the Shangmin Medical Area." The person holding the gun was a female commoner in her fifties, number 1225, a porter of the Hunter Army.
"What disease do you have? Do you have to go to the Shangmin Medical Area?" Mark took off the bandage on his hand, not caring about the wound on his fist or the pistol pointed at him.
It didn't matter, he didn't care at all whether the other party would shoot or not.
"I...I want to give my heart to a superior citizen." 1225's figure was a little stooped, the hand holding the gun kept shaking, and his tone was full of pleading.
"Even if you go, they won't exchange the heart of a commoner for a commoner." Mark picked up a towel and wiped his sweat, thinking that the other party could not succeed.
The barrier between the superior people and the ordinary people has lasted for twenty-one years and has become extremely solid.
Commoners do not have the right to breed, have no medical treatment, cannot touch weapons, are not worthy of having names, and can only be distinguished by numbers.
They did the most tiring work, but received pitifully few resources. They had never even eaten food from the people in their entire lives, and their rations were only insect cakes.
And every time we go to the ground to collect, they are the ones who make the biggest sacrifice.
The population that occupies more than half of the lighthouse actually consumes less than a fraction of the residents.
Many superior people do not regard ordinary people as human beings and believe that limited resources should not be allocated to those stinking inferior creatures.
In particular, the new generation of upper-class people, who were raised by sharing children and raising children, are even more alienated and repelled by ordinary people.
The reason is simply that the genetic test results of ordinary people show that they have a greater chance of getting sick, or they carry genetic diseases in their genes.
The year the Three Laws were promulgated, Mark was six years old and could already remember it. He had seen too many relatives being forcibly separated. The original family was divided into the upper and lower classes because of their genes, and they were never allowed to see each other again.
.
He does not discriminate against ordinary people and is willing to help within his ability.
But he can't control this matter today.
"It's impossible, there's no point in going." He put on his coat and walked towards the door without looking back.
A gunshot from behind shocked Mark. He was not surprised that the other party would shoot. He was surprised that he was not hit, and there was no ricochet movement around him.
The other party fired, but he was not the target.
Mark suddenly turned around and saw 1225 being shot in the abdomen. She dropped her pistol and covered the wound and fell to the ground. She said with difficulty: "How will you know if you don't try? Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will give it a try."
1225 breathed hard, grabbed Mark who was helping her up, and begged: "He is waiting for me. Captain Mark, save him, he is waiting for me."
Mark knows that 1225 refers to Shangmin Luke.
Luke is also a member of the Hunter Army. During the collection mission, in order to protect 1225, his heart was penetrated by a steel nail. He is now in the medical area and may die at any time.
He also knew that Luke and 1225 were originally a couple, but they were separated after the three laws were promulgated.
1225 Sneaked into the Church of Light and Shadow and begged the leader of the church, Charles, to allow her to change her mind and save others, but Mark also knew that she was punished by the priest.
He also knew that even if the heart-changing process was successful, Luke would be beaten into the dust.
1225’s behavior is not rational at all and does not conform to the laws of the end of the world.
Can love in the old days be so careless?
He seemed to understand that Sister Hongkou and Li Xiao would rather be burned to death than to be together.
Mark hurriedly picked up 1225 and rushed to the Shangmin Medical District. He drew his gun and forced the doctor to agree to a heart transplant, and then strode towards the Dawn Hall.
Fuck my reason, Fuck the three laws, I want to be with my lover, even if it’s only for a moment.
There were many legal priests guarding the Hall of Dawn, and after knocking down a group of them, another group came up to them, but these men who were hiding in the sky and showing off their power had little practical experience.
Mark successfully broke through the defense of the gate. As long as he rushed through another corridor, he would see Ran Bing.
It's so easy that people can't believe it. These priests have been domineering for too long. Are their combat effectiveness so weak?
Before he could think about it, Sharif, a big dog wearing exoskeleton armor, was standing at the door of the inner courtyard, obviously waiting for him.
A corridor.
an enemy.
With nothing to say, Mark took off his coat and rushed towards Sharif, the loyal thug of the Guild of Light and Shadow.
The big dog Sharif is a silent person and has no habit of nagging him before a battle. His strong figure of more than two meters tall and the heavy armor covering his whole body have not made him dull.
The heel of the axe-thick ax handle was swung up, and the 200-kilogram long-handled tomahawk was swung up and chopped down on the head. The whistling sound of the air being split at high speed was enough to show the ferocity of this blow. Once it hits, it will be extremely powerful.
Death means disability.
Mark is over 1.9 meters tall and looks very majestic in front of others, but compared with Sharif, he is obviously one size smaller. The opponent is armored, equipped with weapons, tall and strong, and is invincible.
He used both legs to exert force, and his thrust speed increased again. He sidestepped the tomahawk's slashing path and avoided the enemy's attack by a hair's breadth. While the tomahawk was in the air, he stepped around and dodged to the side of the opponent, taking advantage of the trend.
Pull out your pistol and shoot in the face.
The hammer sounded and the bullet came out of the chamber. Unfortunately, Sharif blocked it with his right hand and the bullet hit the roof of the shed.
Before Mark could retract the gun and shoot again, Sharif rubbed his fingers and unloaded the magazine of the pistol. He grabbed his wrist and flicked it, and the gun came out of his hand.
After losing his weapon, Mark did not panic. He bent down and ducked, swaying to the left side of the enemy and hitting the opponent's left ribs hard with his right hook.
His hands hurt so much, the nails were too hard, his body was only slightly stiff, and the sole of Sharif's fifty-size shoe kicked him on the chest.
Mark rolled over and over and was kicked out for more than ten meters. He felt a tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, and his eyesight went black.
Shalifu hurriedly took a few steps, swinging his long-handled battle ax and slashing downwards, making Mark jump up and down, making it difficult to parry. Finally, he took advantage of the enemy's ax to hit the ground with too much force, stepped on the ax handle and kicked in the air, fiercely.
He kicked the opponent's head hard and disarmed the enemy.
But Shalifu's helmet was too strong, so he didn't suffer any injuries at all. Mark, who was pursuing him, took the opportunity and hit him with his knee in the corner. Relying on the strong armor, he rushed forward and forced the man into the corner.
He was punched and kicked until Mark was dizzy and his face was covered in blood.
The advantages brought by exoskeleton armor are too great to deal with.
This place is only about twenty meters away from the inner courtyard of the Dawn Hall. If you rush over, you will see Ran Bing. Mark will never allow himself to stop here!
The steel fists hit his body with pain that penetrated his bones, causing his sternum, ribs, skull and internal organs to groan, but he still didn't give up.
Taking advantage of the flaw in the enemy's left hand swinging the fist too hard, he dodged the attack, put his left hand on the enemy's wrist, and with a sudden movement, Shalifu's fist hit the wall involuntarily, and his left arm swung straight
In front of Mark.
With such a good opportunity, there is no reason to be polite.
He hit the opponent's elbow with his fist, and the elbow joint broke instantly. Sharif screamed in pain and retreated. In order to get rid of the fight, the right fist he punched was hit by Mark's forehead and broke his wrist.
The enemy's hands were both disabled. Mark took advantage of the victory and pursued Sharif's left leg with a kick, followed by a storm of iron fists.
The exoskeleton armor could not stop his continuous attacks, and Sharif was beaten to the ground like a dead dog.
There are no more obstacles that prevent Mark from meeting Ran Bing.
When he opened the door, he was very glad that he had come. Seven or eight law priests fainted on the ground with bloody heads. They must have been knocked over by Ran Bing.
There is no doubt about the skill of the adjutant of the Hunter Army. He has been honed through life and death with the Devouring Beast. How could a few pampered Law Priests be her opponents?
Looking at Ran Bing, who had no intention of running away and was sitting on the golden platform holding his knees, it was obvious that he no longer wanted to live.
If she hadn't come, would she have left this world with grief and regret?
Mark picked up a small daisy stained with blood on the ground, walked up to Ran Bing, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I don't understand until now what it is that Hong Kou would rather die to protect."
Ran Bing didn't even raise his head, and asked sadly: "Are you so free? All the pole-devouring beasts have been lit? Is the ground safe? No need to guard the lighthouse anymore?"
He refused the breeding mission, and he broke into the Dawn Hall without permission, and neither of them could survive.
"We haven't killed all the beasts, and the ground is still unsafe, but I'm more afraid of losing you like I lost Hongkou." Mark held the small daisy, knelt down on one knee, and handed the flower to Ran Bing:
"Ran Bing, are you willing to restore the family relationship with me in the old world? Leave the lighthouse with me and go to the ground to form your own family. As long as you are here, I don't care even if the world is destroyed. But without you, for me
This is the real end.
Ran Bing, from today on, I will only protect you. You will not be hurt again, and you will no longer have to endure. No matter how difficult and dangerous the ground is, I will build a home for you. No matter how powerful the pole-devouring beast is, I will
They will all stand in front of you.
No matter how much time is left in the future, I want to spend the rest of my life with you in this fucking doomsday. Are you willing?"
As early as when Mark proposed to her, Ran Bing took off the golden mask she wore during the breeding mission.
At this time, she was crying so much that no matter what would happen in the future, no matter whether they would die next moment, at least at this moment, her love was responded to, and they loved each other.
Is this love? The sweet taste is filled with endless sadness.
"I don't want to." She held back her tears, took a deep breath, and answered Mark seriously. With his disappointed expression, she snatched the daisy and said emotionally: "I don't want everything to be your fault."
Stand in the front, and I will build our home with you. How can you make it without me!"
The two hugged each other excitedly, but now was not the time to waste time. They took off their identity tags and prepared to leave the lighthouse.
But things were hard to come by. As soon as they walked out of the door of the Dawn Hall, the city defense troops surrounded the place. Unlike the legal priests holding steel whips, these people were all armed with live ammunition. The two unarmed people were unable to resist at all.
Ran Bing was imprisoned by the city defense troops, and Mark was handcuffed and brought to the city lord Morgan.
Morgan actually didn't care about the crime accused by Victor, the commander of the city defense force, nor the incitement of Charles, the leader of the Light and Shadow Association, nor the plea of the navigation commander Jing Nan.
Because Mark is different, he is the only hope in the minds of himself and his teacher.
Now he has violated the three rules he set, and he wants to know the reason.
"Why?"
"In order to live, truly live. The three laws are too harsh. Are they really necessary? If we can return to the ground, many problems can be solved."
Mark's answer disappointed him.
Morgan angrily reprimanded: "Put down your unrealistic ideas, we are no longer the masters of the ground! In front of the pole-devouring beasts, humans have nowhere to hide. They are more dangerous than you think!"
Mark disagreed with this view and retorted: "But the Mu Chenxing I brought back can live very well. I saw with my own eyes that he knocked down the pole-devouring beasts within a radius of several kilometers in an instant. He said that I was just like him.
Genetically enhanced people. If we can find a way to genetically enhance the old world, we will definitely be able to return to the ground."
"Uh, he...he's different." Morgan felt a headache, as if something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Mark was not in the mood to care about anything else now. He just wanted to leave with Ran Bing and begged: "City Lord, please let Ran Bing and I go on a long journey."
Morgan's anger could no longer be suppressed. Twenty-seven years ago, how many soldiers did the lighthouse lose in order to bring you back? The road to the laboratory was paved with corpses!
Why do you want to seek death on the ground? Are you worthy of the sacrifices of those people?
He shouted angrily: "The lighthouse is the last home of mankind. Returning to the ground will mean death! You...you..."
He felt heart cramps, his body became weak, he shook a few times, fell on the steps, tilted his head, and fainted.
Lord Morgan's first aid medicine has been used up and is judged to have no medical value by the life formula, but Mark does not want to give up and is going to search for medicine at the collection point on the ground.
The closest medical collection point to the lighthouse is the T69 area 60 kilometers away, which is an ecologically dense area. Normally, the hunter troops are not allowed to enter such areas, let alone at night.
The risk factor is unprecedented.
Mark wanted to invite Mu Chenxing to go with him, but no one knew where this man was and he disappeared without a trace.
I can only go there alone.
Even though it was no different than sending him to death, Mark still decided to find medicine.
But when he arrived at the weapon maintenance room, many people in the Hunter Army already knew the news and were waiting for him at the door.
Mo Cheng, Jeff, Erica and other team members are all present. Except for the imprisoned Ran Bing, Mark's partners are all here. There are also a group of veterans who have just returned from other missions, and the group of red veterans
The subordinates also decided to participate in this mission.
The task was unprecedentedly arduous, so the engineers in the weapon maintenance room naturally took out the good guys from the bottom of the box. All the heavy planes were equipped with new modules. Mark's Dawn mecha was also equipped with injectors as he wished, and he had
Flying function.
Four teams of hunters rode four airdrop armored vehicles and swooped down from an altitude of 2,000 meters.
The airdrop armored vehicle is a large vehicle with eight rocket injectors installed on the chassis, which can achieve rapid airdrop. It is an important piece of equipment that will never be used except for emergency missions.
The landing process was almost uneventful. Even though there were as many pole-eating beasts in the ecologically dense area as ants, under the burning of thirty-two jets from four vehicles, a clearing was still cleared for the hunters.
Four armored vehicles fired heavy machine guns, and two Falcon gliders cooperated in the air. They successfully broke out of the area where snakes and dogs were entrenched, and entered the territory of Earth Roar.
Earth Roar is also a metamorphic pole-devouring beast that can attack from a distance. It has a vocal sac under its neck that can condense high-concentration energy such as scarlet pigment and fire it out in the form of energy bombs.
The power is equivalent to a high-explosive grenade.
On Earth Roar's territory, both Falcons were damaged in battle, and they had to use heavy planes to get rid of the pursuit of this pole-devouring beast, and successfully reached the T69 medical collection point, a pharmaceutical company called Nirvana.
The battle to get the medicine was fierce. They encountered the metamorphosis of the pole beast: the calyx beast, and their subordinate species, the metamorphic pole beast: the spiny eel.
The spiny eel is a small pole-devouring beast. It is extremely fast, good at camouflage and lurking, and uses bone spurs to achieve medium and long-range killings. It is difficult to deal with.
The calyx beast is even more difficult to deal with. It can excrete bromine mist to pollute the environment and resist damage. It can build an energy field to transfer life essence to quickly resurrect spiny eels. It can release infrasonic waves and mental interference, and it can also spit plasma from its mouth.
.
Haji's lower body was submerged while trying to save Mark, and Xuefeng also died under its slap.
The most uncomfortable thing is that there are two of them.
The hunters suffered heavy losses and paid more than half of their casualties before they could get the first-aid medicines City Lord Morgan needed from the medicine store.
Mark knew that destroying the energy center of the Devouring Beast would kill them, and the other hunters also knew it, but the war situation was extremely unfavorable and they did not have time to disembowel it and search slowly.
The first calyx beast was overthrown by the combined force, and if it got entangled with the second one, the casualties would be even greater, and the whole army would probably be annihilated. Mark ordered the others to take the medicine and withdraw first, leaving him behind alone.
The Death Eater Beast resurrects very quickly, and it won't be able to leave if it doesn't leave.
Everyone knows this truth. The hunters have no habit of being pretentious and they retreat very simply.
Mark's powered armor is Daybreak. The newly modified jet device is very powerful. The new weapon folding sword is also much better than the previous wheel saw sword. The missile slot on the shoulder can launch six missiles at a time. The firepower is fierce.
He had a great time fighting the second calyx beast.
But the sudden appearance of a team of strangers on the top floor of Nirvana Company distracted him. The energy of the injector was also used up, and was swallowed into the mouth of Calyx Beast. Although he took the opportunity to launch missiles to bombard Calyx Beast's internal organs.
, defeated this guy, but also suffered serious injuries.
At this time, the first calyx beast had resurrected. When he was in despair, for some reason, the pole-devouring beast in the building seemed to have been stimulated by something, gave up its attack, and instead rushed into the distance.
It's strange, but it's of no use. He is now being held in the hands of the dead Calyx Beast, and his body and weight are paralyzed, making him unable to escape at all.
Fortunately, some team members were able to escape, and the medicine should be able to be returned to the lighthouse, so the sacrifice was not in vain.
When he was waiting for death with peace of mind, Dustman 4068 suddenly appeared in his field of vision. He was really a guy who was not afraid of death and a natural hunter.
Mark wanted to praise him a few more times. Who the hell knows why this bastard wanted to kill him? They are all human beings. I have saved you before. Are you so ungrateful?
It is really unbelievable that Mark had his throat cut.
Why?
He couldn't understand.
Then he fainted.
An inexplicable thing happened again. His soul suddenly floated out of his body. He saw the spinal cord parasitizing on his spine. He watched Mo Cheng and others turn around to find him. After some first aid, his life was temporarily saved.
.
Then he was brought back to the lighthouse and sent to the Institute of Biochemistry, where he underwent surgery to replace his spine with spinal vermin. Later, the surgery failed and his body was sent to the incinerator.
His body mutated into a four-legged pole-devouring beast in the flames.
He could only stand aside and watch Ran Bing cry bitterly, watch the city defense army use him as a target to test their guns, and watch him being imprisoned and tortured.
A few days later, he was locked in the car, covered with a fig leaf, and traveled far away with Ran Bing. He wanted to control his body, but was unable to do so. He wanted to talk to Ran Bing, but no one could hear his voice.
He was very agitated until someone lifted the covering canvas, allowing everyone seeing him off to see the monster's appearance.
Then he stopped being irritable and turned into a cold heart. The people he worked hard to collect supplies to feed, the people who once regarded him as a hero, now shouted slogans to kill him and rushed up to cut him into pieces.
Human nature.
This is human nature.
Later, as everyone wished, he was taken to the burning platform. The flames burned his body, the monsters roared, and his lover cried. He could only float aside, doing nothing.
Just die.
There is no pain when you die.
But things took another twist. The members of the Hunter team rushed over and rescued the monster-like Mark, but they all fell into Charles' trap. He proudly explained everything one by one in the communicator.
1225 Go and ask Mark to change Shangmin Luke’s heart.
Ran Bing's breeding mission.
Let 4068 wipe Mark's neck.
It's all Charles' arrangement.
Even when they were traveling far away, the first person who rushed up to lift Mark's fig leaf and wanted to kill him was the rescued Luke.
Charles wanted to take Mark's life, destroy his dignity, and get rid of those who were loyal to him.
The members of the Hunter team heard clearly through the communicator, and Mark's soul also heard clearly, but his body was on the verge of collapse and was in urgent need of replenishing the source of life.
His body has given birth to spiritual breath seeds, and he has become a pole-devouring beast. It instinctively wants to absorb the life essence of human beings.
It was at this moment that Ran Bing threw herself into his arms and stopped him from killing others. In Mark's incompetent rage, he turned into flesh and dust bit by bit.
Then, he was shot in half by a golden masked man from the Church of Light and Shadow, and shattered to the ground.
Mark has never wanted to kill someone so much!
The thought of tearing people into pieces occupied his entire brain.
"Mark...Mark...wake up!" The ethereal voice reached his ears, and the whole world was shaking.
Mark opened his eyes, filled with murderous intent. The person who woke him up was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.
"Mark! What's wrong with you? We have returned to the lighthouse. There are no pole eaters nearby. Your TND scares me to death." Jeff wiped his cold sweat. Just now, he suddenly felt that Mark would rush up and bite him to death.
How evil.
"Huh?" Mark looked around suspiciously. He was leaning on the tire of the jumping spider search vehicle. There were several armored transport vehicles nearby, and they were unloading under the command of the personnel in the material distribution room.
Ran Bing was joking with Erica and Feixue, and the other team members were also relaxing and resting.
Except for Mo Cheng, who was walking towards the legal priest, obviously wanting to meddle in other people's business.
Vatican, the Bearer of Light, is announcing the charges of 4068: "No ordinary people are allowed to touch the weapons of the superior people for any reason. Violators will be punished with twelve lashes."
The big dog Sharif stood behind Fanti intact.
What's going on?
Did you just fall asleep?
What a real dream, so real that I remember every part of it.
As for the fragment before me, I experienced exactly the same plot in my dream.
Next, 4068 will defend.
He was indeed arguing.
Then he would be beaten, and Mo Cheng would grab the priest's wrist to stop him and receive a slap in the face.
Sure enough, as Mark thought, Mo Cheng was slapped by the priest for interfering in other people's business, but the guy didn't let go, and his cold attitude made the priest dare not do anything again.
well!
In the confrontation between the Wilderness Hunters and the Light and Shadow Society, he must step forward.
Mark's mind was a little confused. The confusion between dreams and reality made him stare blankly at Fanti, the Bearer of Light, not knowing what he should say.
