A mob of clones

Chapter 77 Charles walks into the dark; Wu He becomes suspicious
"Tch, it's true..."

On a higher platform of the lighthouse...

Looking at Mark who was walking aimlessly forward with his head lowered in thought, and then at City Lord Morgan who was in a room silently watching Mark go away, Wu He's mouth slightly raised a slight arc. .

The infrastructure of the lighthouse is still good, and the sound insulation capabilities of the central command hall are also good.

But Wu He, who had just absorbed the essence of life in the past two days and whose five senses were in a state of excitement, could still hear the two people arguing in the room.

City Lord Morgan finally bullied Mark for hearing too much new knowledge and not being able to think too much about it. The so-called explanations naturally could not deceive Wu He who knew some of the situation.

What spirit seeds mean nothing to a lighthouse?If Morgan had said this when everyone in the central command hall was present, Carrie, the director of the Mana Ecological Research Institute who "rushed to the battlefield" three minutes after knowing the situation, would have slapped her and called her out. In his old face, he shouted "You fart!"

Does it mean that you, an old guy, can just say it with empty words?How many people die from scarlet disease in the lighthouse every year?How many people have died because their life essence was taken away?

If the organ that stores the essence of life, Spiritual Breath Seed, does exist.Not to mention the basic function of this thing as an energy reserve, just as a beacon in medicine, it can make great strides forward...

What is missing from the lighthouse now?Is it material that is lacking?Of course it's impossible. Everything on the earth is made of matter. It's too easy to collect that stuff.As long as you are not dealing with the Devouring Beast, as long as you are in a non-ecologically dense area, where there is no habitat, the lighthouse can directly drop a group of robots, and it is not too easy to find basic materials.

But is it useful to have more basic materials?That is of course useless!Does the lighthouse lack those things?Of course there is no shortage!So what does the lighthouse really lack?What is lacking is energy!

energy!energy!energy!Say important things three times! ! !
As long as the energy produced by the lighthouse is enough for its own flight, and as long as some can be spared for production, the lighthouse does not need to descend every once in a while to collect various energy and materials on the ground! !

If the lighthouse has sufficient energy, water is collected directly from the clouds, and starch is directly synthesized using technology that was already breakthrough in the 20s in addition to the plants being grown, bread freedom will be a matter of minutes. What kind of insect cake energy cubes do you want...

Finally, from time to time, I went to some ecologically barren areas on the ground with almost no reality to collect some minerals. The lighthouse, a sky fortress, slowly developed, and it was not impossible to break out of the earth.

But the problem is that none of these lighthouses exist! ! !
Not to mention sufficient energy, the lighthouse currently does not have the ability to generate energy by itself, and the energy used is basically retained from the old world until now.Not only is it difficult to find resources, but it will eventually be exhausted.

If you can get enough energy by defeating the Devouring Beast, then do it!As long as the goods received are worth the effort, just call us!Do you really think that the lighthouse is incapable of producing heavy firepower?It's just that the energy invested is not proportional to the energy harvested.

As long as energy is free, the Ministry of Science and Technology said that even if it is a lighthouse, they can build a second one...

With this kind of thing, that old guy actually dares to lick his face and say that Spirit Breath Seeds are not important to the lighthouse? !Just to bully Mark because he has little education and no education...

It is true that Xirang restrained the machine. After all, it is not easy for people to believe just telling lies. If you are lying, it is harder for others to tell you a lie...

"Tch, it's still the same thing~ I don't want to treat people who have transformed themselves and adapted to Mana's ecology as human beings..."

"Forget it, this old guy can't hold on for too long anyway. It's just ten or twenty days, maybe even shorter."

"This amount of time is not enough to affect the development of science and technology..."

"But I don't know what kind of incentive this guy got to stop protecting Charles. Did the two of them say something in their private conversation back then? It seems like we need to be more careful..."

The show was over. Wu He also stood up from this position and turned around to leave. Everything was calm tonight...

……

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Mark did listen to Morgan's deception and did not mention things like spiritual breath seeds. He didn't even talk about the essence of the three laws. However, he seemed to be a little confused in the past two days. The one who is suspicious must be suffering from some PTSD that Morgan said...

According to the complaints of other members of the hunter team, if it were normal, as long as there were no casualties during the last hunting trip, then Mark would basically have finished the first few days of rest and would basically be shouting like a gorilla to go hunting on the ground. .And this time I don’t know what kind of illness I have, but I have been holding it in for so many days...

Wu He actually didn't care much about this. After all, the life essence he absorbed had not yet been fully integrated into himself, which meant that the medicine was no longer effective. Naturally, Wu He would not be in a hurry to collect the medicine again.

Moreover, Wu He feels that his third vein gate is about to be opened. If it is really opened, Wu He's strength should be able to soar to another level...

"I just don't know if I can tear Mark's body apart after reaching the fourth vein gate. I guess it's not even close..."

Just when Wu He was thinking, an orange-red figure suddenly rushed in front of him, blocking the rising sun in front of Wu He.

Wu He's pupils, which were somewhat distracted due to distraction, refocused, and Wu He looked at Erica, who was shaking all over and looking excited, with a slightly confused look on his face.

"What's wrong? So excited?"

"Brother Wu He, didn't you want to deal with Charles, the leader of the Light and Shadow Association? Haven't you heard? The leader of the Light and Shadow Association has fallen!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing such news, Wu He jumped up on the spot, with an obvious look of disbelief on his face.The amount of information brought by this short sentence was a bit large, and Wu He was a little unable to react.After taking a deep breath, he spoke again:

"What is the specific situation? Please tell me carefully."

Seeing Wu He's huge reaction, Erica only thought that Wu He wanted to hear Charles' jokes, and didn't care. There were so many people in the lighthouse who had objections to Charles.However, she still carefully explained to Wu He the announcement issued by the city lord this morning.

"The leader of the Light and Shadow Association engaged in personal fraud, was discovered by the city lord, and was dismissed from his position as the leader of the Light and Shadow Association?"

After listening to Erica's narration, Wu He refined Erica's words and repeated them again. Seeing Erica nodding in agreement, Wu He scratched his head.

Under normal circumstances, it would indeed be a happy thing for one's opponent to be "dismissed from office, and the top leader Hualing is eliminated", but the relationship situation on the lighthouse is not viewed that way.

Who is Charles?That's Morgan's biological son!And this kind of thing is not a big secret among the top brass of the lighthouse.

Even if the emperor deposes the prince who might succeed him, the prince can still be an idle prince who can raise an army to rebel.The situation on Charles' side is much more difficult than that of an idle prince.

"I finally understand what the two father and son said that day. It seems that the emotion I injected was not completely useless..."

"But if this kind of emotional outburst is not in public, but in private, it will be counterproductive..."

Wu He scratched his head, feeling that something bad was going to happen.

In the original work, Morgan dismissed Charles from his position in the Light and Shadow Society, and even went as far as to ruthlessly put him under house arrest by his side in the original plot.

But what's the result?As soon as Morgan fell ill, Charles threw away Morgan's medicine and took the opportunity to regain control of his power.Not only that, but he also unknowingly took control of the entire city defense army.

And what about this time?Charles is not even under house arrest. This means he has nominally lost his status as the leader, but he is much freer than in the original work...

The most important thing is that Morgan hasn't even announced Mark as the next city lord...

"Ah ah ah -" "Don't eat the sour radish. Why are there so many things?! And they all seem to be developing in a bad place. It's so annoying. Can't you just follow the plot?! Just Ansheng, these dozen people Days of time…”

"Just wait for me to grow..."

"Ah~, I'd really like to thank you..."

"Damn it, I can't physically carry bullets right now! If we really have to fight, it's not worth taking away a few people and risking our own lives..."

Scratching his head and standing still for a while, Wu He felt that his mind, which had been quiet for the past three days, was beginning to become irritable again.

Although Wu He had already expected that his arrival and his actions would definitely have a huge impact on the situation in the lighthouse, but it had only been a few days? !Is the impact so great? !A bit outrageous, right? !
Wu He really hoped that he could be that wise man who could do everything one step ahead of others, the one who could take one step at a time and count the hundred steps before him. But Wu He couldn't do that.

Before, it seemed that he was manipulating Charles. In fact, it was Morgan who was manipulating Charles, and Wu He's role in this was just an information gap and a little cleverness...

Wu He is smart, but he is not smart enough; he understands Charles, but he does not understand Charles well enough.

After removing the advantage of poor information, Wu He's prophetic ability disappeared completely.

Wu He was able to judge that the best choice Charles could make now was to kill Morgan before he could declare Mark the lord of the city.

Mark has no intention of becoming the city lord. As long as Morgan does not make this proposal, then he can "pretend to pass on the imperial edict" and become the city lord...

But knowing this is useless. In the original book, Charles almost killed Morgan, but what did Morgan do after the incident ended?Since he is his son, he will naturally forgive him...

Would such a Morgan punish and imprison his precious turtle son because of such a piece of unfounded information?

Judging from that guy's performance, it's hard to say...

If the root cause of the problem cannot be solved, then it is useless to just know that Charles wants to kill Morgan.As Morgan's biological son, Charles could poison him in the name of filial piety, get close to Morgan to carry out assassinations, directly rebel violently, and even cause accidents.

There are so many choices that Charles can make, and Wu He and Morgan are not related to each other. If they really compare, it is not certain who Morgan suspects...

"Made, I still want to keep that old guy alive?!"

"Fuck! It would be great if I could just shoot Charles to death... It's a pity that I'm not strong enough..."

……

In an anxious mood, you still have to take care of your life.

But since then, there has been a suspicious person among the hunters...

Ten days of calmness passed by slowly, but Wu He's nerves did not relax because of the ten days of calmness. On the contrary, they became even more nervous.

There was no other reason than that Wu He's five-sense enhancement experience card for the source of life had expired.

Although Wu He's senses are still astonishing now, his ability to eavesdrop on other people's conversations and see people watching from a distance as he did before is completely gone.

At this critical moment when he is on guard against Charles, this situation is quite unfavorable. Even if he opens the third pulse gate, there is no way to cancel each other out...

What's even more annoying is that Mark has been able to calm down in the past few days.

Compared to Wu He, Mark thought very simply.

In his opinion, being the leader of the Light and Shadow Society means that the city lord has given Charles the power. If the rights of the leader of the Light and Shadow Society are gone, then the relationship network will naturally be cut off.

In addition, Lord Morgan said at the time that if the essence of the three laws was revealed, Charles might do so.Doesn't that mean that Charles doesn't know about this?

The operation was as fierce as a tiger. After Mark came back to his senses, he was no longer so worried.In the past few days, he has even started to want to go hunting on the ground...

In response to Mark's proposal, some members of the Hunter team who were trained by Wu He and who felt that they had made considerable progress after crying and shouting "big brother" every day were also gearing up.

As for Wu He...

What does Wu He say now?I want to go hunting on the ground. After all, the essence of life is really addictive to use. The training of improving the five senses and carrying fairy beans is simply not too fun.

But Wu He was afraid that when he came back, Morgan would lie down, Charles would sit on the highest position of the lighthouse, and then there would be a lot of heavy three-dimensional platforms with machine guns pointed at them. That scene would be a bit too fucked up...

……

A few more days passed in Wu He's thoughts, and it came to the 19th day when Wu He settled in the lighthouse.

After a long period of calm, Mark put all those messy worries behind him early, and the lighthouse once again came directly above a city.

According to the online information left behind decades ago, if the materials here have not been looted by the survivors on the ground in the past, there should be a large amount of high-quality energy, food that can be stored for a long time, and ready-made metal materials.

Even if the interior has been looted to a certain extent, ordinary survivors on the ground basically have no ability to use those high-precision materials and energy, so this trip to the ground is basically a guaranteed profit-making operation.

Although Wu He was a little entangled, he wanted to take Charles with him before leaving, so as to save him from causing any trouble.

But after some contemplation, Wu He could only sigh helplessly and follow Mark's team...

It was going to rain, his mother was getting married, and Morgan had raised his own son. No matter how unhappy Wu He was, there was nothing he could do.

If the old city lord Morgan can survive this disaster, everyone will be happy.If you can't survive, then you have to consider which one is faster, the gravity bodies worn by the losers in the city defense army in the lighthouse, or Wu He...

Even if Wu He stayed at the lighthouse, if Charles really wanted to take action, Wu He would most likely not be able to stop him.It's not that Wu He is afraid of the city defense troops and law enforcers who only bully the common people. The main thing is that they are machine guns, artillery and heavy objects...

Wu He really can't stop those things. Does anyone really think that a mortal body can withstand dense machine gun fire? !
Rather than fighting with these guys on the lighthouse to be wary of each other, and having to be wary of cold guns flying from nowhere or the arsenic in the food at any time, Wu He felt that it was better to go down to the ground and snatch the life essence of the extreme beasts for himself. It is more practical to accumulate foundation...

"The life essence of two snake dogs is enough for me to practice intensively for several days~. The interval between hunting wilderness is about half a month to two or three months, so the target of going to the ground this time is seven or eight. about there……"
