monster battlefield

Chapter 181 It's decided, you will be the commander!
Both Mark and Morgan were stunned, but the reasons for their stunned were different.

Changed the permissions, in fact, Mark is already considered the city lord in the actual sense, so his permissions are directly opened to the maximum, and he can view all the information on the lighthouse.

Hearing the key information from the old city lord just now, he couldn't help but go to a nearby light screen and manipulate it, and began to check the real information of the entire lighthouse.

The Age of Tartarus before the Lighthouse can also be called the "Prison Age", which means that the last refuge of mankind turned out to be a prison.

This is really ironic.

Fortunately, he knew that the "Clotol" system was not the brain of a pole-devouring beast, or a fraction of the Flower of Mana, but the brain of a prehistoric highly intelligent creature, dug out of the ground.

The most embarrassing situation did not appear.

With more in-depth understanding, he discovered that this is not just a prison, but a super-secret laboratory.

The lighthouse has flown to many places, and he has brought the hunters down to different grounds, and he has also seen other "lighthouses" that fell on the ground, why all the other "lighthouses" have fallen, and only their lighthouse is still floating, That's obviously not just because of being able to fly.

Instead, they knew about the disaster in advance and tried to avoid it.

This is the power of the "Kroto" system.

Mark was watching this, but Morgan was dazed by the rejuvenated "Kroto" system, and he was thinking about his life.

When people are old, they always like to recall the past, especially when he got rid of the heavy responsibility of the city lord, and when he is free, he likes to recall the past even more.

Before the doomsday, his life was quite happy. After the doomsday, he went to the lighthouse. Although there were many restrictions, he was still free from danger.

But the ground has fallen, and the lighthouses floating in the sky are like rootless duckweeds in the sea. Fortunately, the first-generation city lord is like a god, and can always find safe routes and ground collection points.

Later, when the first-generation city lord got old, Morgan had been the commander of the wild hunters for a long time, and the position of the city lord fell to him.

It was also at that time that he learned the secret of the lighthouse and part of the truth about the whole world.

As the sole custodian of the "Kroto" system, he maintained the system in strict accordance with the instructions of the first generation of city lords, and he also knew that the system had given a solution to the end of the world.

It's a pity that they couldn't understand this method at all, and the only place where it was analyzed was a baby.

Morgan had high hopes for this baby because the rest could not be resolved.

It's just that the baby who got the coordinates on the front foot also transliterated his name into "Mark", and the Croto system on the back foot stopped providing computing power.

Fortunately, the Crotor system did not completely abandon humans. Before it stopped providing computing power, it gave a method to protect the human race from extinction within decades.

That is the three rules of survival!
The first is to abandon all intimate relationships in the old world, including but not limited to family affection and love.

The first reason for doing this is to prevent small groups based on families from appearing in the doomsday environment, causing inconvenience to the management of the lighthouse. After all, everyone hopes that their families can obtain the best food and educational resources.

After decades of implementation, this law has become quite mature, and blood ties rarely lead to riots.

Even if there is, it can be suppressed soon, and many people even hide it in their hearts and don't show it.

Family love is easy to talk about, but it is almost impossible to completely ban love.

In a small and closed space like a lighthouse, in a cold and cruel doomsday environment, young people without families are more likely to have mutual affection and then hug each other to keep warm.

So at the beginning, even Mark's sister Hongkou, who was the captain of the hunters and the successor of the city lord, would cry out "I'm not afraid of death, but that I haven't really lived", and then disappeared into the flames with her lover.

The second is to divide the residents into dusty people and upper people according to their genes. Materials are distributed according to contribution points, and the elderly travel far.

Depending on the degree of genetic excellence, all people are divided into dusty people and high-level people. High-level people will receive systematic vocational education. After graduation, they will work in various important departments and enjoy better lighthouse resources.

Dust people don't have better resources, they don't even have reproduction rights and name rights, and they have to take care of all lighthouse maintenance and material handling.

Materials are neither distributed according to work nor according to needs, but are distributed according to contribution points, and because of the division of labor, the ability of Shangmin to obtain contribution points is far better than that of Dust people, so milk and bread are foods that Dust people eat all their lives. less than.

The elderly...travel far away. To put it bluntly, Lighthouse does not provide elderly care services.

With the degradation of body functions, the old man can no longer contribute to the lighthouse, and even consumes a lot of resources, so no matter how high or low his status is, he needs to be exiled to the ground.

It’s euphemistically called “looking for light”, but it’s actually just letting it out to fend for itself.

The third rule is that everyone must believe in the Lord of Light and Shadow.

The Church of Light and Shadow preaches that all people live under the blessing of the Lord of Light and Shadow, and has also mastered the population reproduction task of the lighthouse.

After the promulgation of the three laws, childbearing is no longer the crystallization of love, but a sacred task.

In order for human beings to survive better, if there is no continuous supply of supplies, then the population must be controlled.

The three major survival rules of the lighthouse respectively restrict the residents in the apocalypse from three aspects: emotion, material resource allocation and spiritual belief. In fact, in the final analysis, they are for stability, allowing as many people as possible to survive and ensuring a certain number of ethnic groups.

The first is to prevent gang formation from being unmanageable, the second is to rationally allocate resources to increase battery life, and the third is for residents’ psychological construction.

Although it is unreasonable and pedantic, but if you want to survive longer in the apocalypse, there is no better solution.

Of course, it's actually just the surface of the three laws. Although there are reasons for this, it's only on the first level.

Only the city lord can know the real core content.

That is, the polar devouring beasts can sense the violent emotional changes of human beings, and such drastic emotional changes are the most delicious things in the eyes of the polar devouring beasts, and they will try their best to eat them.

And this strong desire will speed up their evolution, allowing them to give birth to flying units as soon as possible.

Once the flying units appear, the lighthouse is in danger.

Getting rid of family affection and love can pinch out drastic emotional changes from the source.

According to genes, the distinction between superiors and dustmen is not based on intelligence and strength, but on the basis of "defects".

People with more perfect genes have less natural mood swings and can reasonably control the release of their emotions, while people with genetic defects are naturally prone to express emotions, and even extreme anger and violence.

Moreover, some pole-devouring beasts will spread inducers that can make humans irritable, and the degree of genetic defects will vary in their ability to resist such inducers.

And to make everyone believe in the Lord of Light and Shadow is to restrain people's thoughts in a religious way and prevent people from emitting violent and complicated emotional fluctuations.

The three-pronged approach, plus the lighthouse floating in the sky, is far away from the Pole Devourer on the ground, even if there is a slight leak of emotion, it will not attract the attention of the Pole Devourer.

At the same time, Morgan also knew that going on like this was not an option. If all human emotions were wiped out, would human beings still be human?
So when encountering some emotional events, he will not be so strict, such as talking to Charles' father and son, willing to give Hongkou a chance, and so on.

As long as Hongkou and the others verbally changed it back then, even if they got in touch with each other secretly, it wouldn't cause too much impact and make the public overturn the "suppression of emotions" rule, in fact, it would be fine.

It is actually a good thing for humans to keep the seeds of emotion.

It's a pity that Hong Kou went to an extreme and had to die to clarify his ambition.

In addition, human abilities are indeed limited, and the "Kroto" system is down again. Without accurate guidance for the future, Morgan can only cautiously rely on the three major survival rules to lead humans to survive.

As old man Elon said: "The end is the end. If there is hope, is it still called the end?"

At the beginning, Morgan went to check on the Croto system every day, doing maintenance and hoping that it would restart. However, there was no movement in the system. Gradually, the time between Morgan's movements became longer.

Of course, I will still take a look at it for about a week and do maintenance.

There was no movement when he came last week, why did it suddenly restart?

Did something change in Mark during this week?
Thinking of this, Morgan looked at Mark who was typing on the keyboard over there, but didn't notice any changes in him.

On the other side, Mark also learned a lot of things. Those things made him dizzy. When he looked at Morgan again, the two of them looked at each other without knowing what to say.

"How about letting the Crotor system calculate the future of mankind again?"

It was Mark who broke the calm.

Yes, Morgan really didn't react when he said that.

The Crotor system has restarted, and they can calculate the future again!

It seems that he is indeed old.

But being old doesn’t mean it’s useless. He reminded the novice city lord Mark: “For the Croto system to calculate the future, although there is no need to mobilize other computing resources of the lighthouse to cooperate, it is necessary to prepare enough energy for it. Planning and preparation should be carried out a week in advance, otherwise there will be obvious energy shortages in other departments."

"understood."

Mark nodded, expressing his understanding. Although he read a bunch of content just now, he got dizzy and quit, and didn't see what Morgan said.

Being a city lord is simply not easy. I don’t know how long it will take to read everything.

After understanding the core things, there is no need to worry about the rest. Morgan asked Mark to push him away.

When they came out, the news that Mark was going to be the lord of the city had spread, and many people were secretly talking about it.

When the old city lord was sent back to the ward and Mark walked on the lighthouse again, they shouted "Captain Mark" more aggressively.

If the ceremony hadn't been held yet, they would have called "City Lord" directly.

In fact, many people planned to say "Morning Blessing", which was the rule of the Church of Light and Shadow, but when they thought that all the top leaders of the Church of Light and Shadow were in jail, they swallowed their greetings and just said "Good morning".

At the same time, they are also considering that the lighthouse may really change.

In fact, Mark is also thinking about this issue, let alone other things, when he becomes the city lord, he will not be able to bring the hunters down to collect supplies.

After all, he also read it just now. Being a city lord is much busier than being a wild hunter commander, and it is impossible to have time to go to the field.

In this case, the Wild Hunter will definitely have to re-elect a commander.

It's just that he wanted to be a commander for the rest of his life at the beginning, and he had plenty of time to train special successors. He is only 27 years old now, so he didn't put much effort into training successors.

As a result, there are adjutants, vanguards and several squad leaders in the Wild Hunter, but he really doesn't know who to choose as the new commander.

So he hurried back to the hunter's territory and called a meeting with people at the level of team leader.

He even specially invited Zhou Shu.

When Zhou Shu was called, Zhou Shu was talking about mechs with Jessica in the scientific research department. When he heard Mark's call, he came over immediately.

He thought that Mark was going to make a new collection plan and go to a new collection location, but he didn't expect that he was asked to attend the meeting to determine the new commander.

Confirmed that the new commander has something to do with him?
Don't say it, there really is.

Mark didn't know who to choose, so he said, "Who of you wants to be, do you have any self-recommendations? Or you can recommend others."

Among these people are not only Mark's "fans", but also seniors who have returned from other tasks. They are old hunters who followed Mark's sister Hong Kou.

It is the people who call Mark "Little Boss" and watch Mark grow up.

In terms of combat experience, they are richer than Mark, but none of them can beat Mark alone, so there must be a different way to deal with the beast.

It's just that after Mark finished speaking, the seniors didn't move much. It seems that no one wanted to recommend themselves, nor did they want to recommend others. I defined myself as a worker.

Mark was good to them when he was the commander, and Mark will be the lord of the city in a few days, so he must be even better to them.

They even wanted Mark to fight for the position of the city lord long ago. They understood earlier than Ran Bing, Mo Cheng and the others that it would be beneficial for them only if their own people were the city lord.

They all thought that when Mark became the city lord, they would stop going to the land and either become an instructor or join the city defense army. After all, they were indeed quite old, in their 40s and almost [-]s.

As for the other people, they were all Mark's diehards, and they all had participated in the mission of finding medicine, so they all looked at Zhou Shu in unison!

Zhou Shu: "???"

Watch my dry hair?

"Why, you plan to let me be the commander of the hunter? I have only been here for two days."

Hearing Zhou Shu ask this, they actually nodded.

At this time, it is time for Mocheng to speak.

"Ahem, in fact, for us, the most suitable commander is of course Mark. After all, we have cooperated for so long, but now he is going to be the city lord, and he must not take us down again."

"Except for him, the rest of us are rookies, and the few over there are also old uncles."

As soon as the words came out, the famous old man glared at him, but he crossed him with a playful smile, and then said: "So after a round, only you are suitable."

"Although you haven't been here for a long time, you have also been through life and death with us. No, there is no such thing as death at all."

"Zhou Shu, do you know that following you, even if we don't need to be familiar with and cooperate, we have never died. This is too important for hunters."

"So don't refuse, we hope you will be the new boss of the Wild Hunter."
