"understand!"
"By the way, is Mark awake?"
After arranging the flight path, Jing Nan said to Jing Yuan, "I've been in the flight control room and haven't had a chance to go to the medical room yet. I'll contact Ran Bing."
A moment later, Jingnan's voice came through the earpiece, "Jingyuan, Mark is awake!"
Chapter 138 Mark and Clotho
After Bai Yuekui arranged for someone to send the humanoid bioweapon away, he led Sui Xing and the others outside the base.
Jingyuan and Guayan chatted idly outside while waiting for the lighthouse to arrive.
After a while, the lighthouse came into view.
Jing Yuan glanced at Bai Yuekui and the others, and laughed, "Compared to a large pot lid, it should look more like an umbrella!"
The others were speechless, but Bai Yuekui said, "From now on, you are not allowed to call him 'Big Pot Lid'."
"Yes, boss!"
Jiu Ge and the others obediently followed orders.
"Oh, right." Jing Yuan looked at Bai Yuekui and said, "Mark is awake. Mr. Bai, would you like to come with me to the lighthouse to meet Mark?"
Bai Yuekui said coldly, "You should let him come down!"
As the lighthouse drew closer, it grew larger and larger in their field of vision, appearing quite magnificent from the outside.
After the lighthouse lowered its altitude, many people on board could see the green grassland below.
Since the catastrophe began, most parts of the world have become deserts, and people have never seen greenery on the ground again.
Even the oldest person on the lighthouse has almost forgotten what the green grassland looks like.
The younger generation in the Lighthouse can only learn what a green grassland looks like through videos.
Today, there is a green grassland below the lighthouse.
The first person to see the green grassland exclaimed in surprise, and then the news spread like wildfire, with a large number of lighthouse workers gathering around the outer platform to look down.
Jingnan looked at the grassland through the footage captured by the bottom camera in the flight control room, and he was also incredulous.
"There really is an area that has not been ecologically polluted."
on the ground.
Jing Yuan looked at Bai Yuekui with a smile and said, "Everyone, since Boss Bai isn't going, would you like to visit the lighthouse?"
The others wore awkward smiles; if the boss wasn't going, how could they possibly go?
"Okay, we'll come down later!"
Jing Yuan didn't press the matter. He manipulated all his weapons to his face, presented the Tang sword to Bai Yuekui, and said, "Boss Bai, here's your sword back."
Bai Yuekui took the Tang sword.
Jingyuan jumped onto the scale plate and flew towards the lighthouse.
"Jingyuan, shall I lower the elevator platform for you now?" Jingnan's voice came.
"No need! I can come up myself."
Jing Nan was slightly startled, then realized that Jing Yuan had just said that he could fly.
Jingyuan flew upwards and soon arrived at the outer platform of the lighthouse.
He saw many people standing outside the platform watching. At first, he was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood. They had never seen this scene before, so they were naturally very curious.
The people on the lighthouse saw Jingyuan flying down from below.
Since Jingyuan often displayed the "miracle" of being able to fly, no one found it strange.
"Chairman Jingyuan!"
"Chairman Jingyuan!"
Everyone bowed to Jing Yuan, and Jing Yuan nodded in response to each of them.
Then, Jingyuan flew directly to the flight control room.
Seeing Jing Yuan flying directly outside, the people in the flight control room felt a little uncomfortable.
Since the glass windows were completely sealed, Jingyuan couldn't go in either, so Jingnan gestured for him to go to the corridor next door.
Jingyuan landed in the corridor, and Jingnan also came out of the flight control room.
Jing Nan looked at Jing Yuan and asked directly, "Have you already made contact with the people on the ground?"
"Yes."
"How did they survive on the ground and even have a piece of land that wasn't eroded by the mana ecosystem?" Jingnan was very curious about this.
“They used a special method to shield the ecosystem.” Jing Yuan glanced south. “Let’s go see Mark first!”
"it is good."
The two arrived at the medical clinic, where Jingyuan had previously ordered that the news of Mark's coma not be leaked.
Therefore, the medical station was guarded by layers of hunters.
When Jingyuan entered the ward, Mark was already dressed and standing up.
Ran Bing was by his side, as were Xue Feng and Mo Cheng.
Hearing someone come in, Mark turned around and saw Jingyuan and Jingnan. Mark looked at Jingnan and said, "I was just about to look for you. I heard that the lighthouse sailed to a green grassland. What's going on?"
Jing Nan looked at Jing Yuan and let him explain: "I've found the people on the ground! This grassland below is their living area."
Mark's eyes widened after hearing this.
When I woke up, the thing I had been thinking about day and night had actually come true.
The presence of green grasslands implies the absence of an ecosystem, meaning that people can live on the ground!
For a moment, Mark felt a surge of excitement.
“I also found some people on the surface,” Jing Yuan continued. “I sought cooperation from them, asking them to teach us how to survive on the surface, but they demanded that you go and talk to them!”
“Me?” Mark asked, puzzled.
After all, Mark is the city lord, so it's perfectly normal for him to handle the negotiations.
"Alright, let's go down and talk to them!"
"Mark, before we go down, I have something I need to talk to you about in private."
Jingnan glanced at Xuefeng and Mocheng, and the two tactfully left with Jingnan.
Only Ran Bing remained. Jing Yuan glanced at Ran Bing.
Mark said to Ran Bing, "Go outside and wait for me!"
After Ran Bing left, the door closed automatically, leaving only Jing Yuan and Mark.
“Go ahead and say it!” Mark looked at Jingyuan.
"What did Morgan say to you before you lost consciousness?"
“He said he would entrust the secret of the lighthouse to me, and then he took me to the computing core. There, he told me about the existence of Clotho and my origins.”
Did he tell you what Clotho really is?
“No. He said it might be the brain of some prehistoric creature, but he himself isn’t sure.” Mark looked at Jingyuan with suspicion. “Do you know what Clotho is?”
"do not know."
"Lord Morgan said that Clotho had foreseen the disaster and, with its help, the lighthouse avoided many dangers. Not only that, Clotho would also provide us with coordinates for supplies, making it easy for us to find them. But later, for some reason, it fell into a deep sleep."
Later, Clotho sent only a coordinate, and when they searched according to that coordinate, they found me!
So, the first city lord brought me back.
Because of Clotho's previous help to them, they believed that I, whom they found through Clotho's guidance, was the key to fighting the apocalypse!
After listening to these words, Jingyuan realized that they were almost identical to the information Morgan had given Charles in the original story. It seemed that Morgan really didn't know any more information.
"Then how did you become unconscious?"
"I don't know either. Before I lost consciousness, I seemed to see some strange images."
"The scene? What scene?"
Mark struggled to recall those fragments of memory, "A woman, a giant, a... humanoid Devourer!"
Humanoid Devouring Beast?
Jing Yuan was somewhat surprised. In "Ling Cage", the only humanoid Devouring Beast that ever appeared was Mark!
In addition, if the Lord of Light and Shadow that Charles encountered was also a Devouring Beast, then it would also count as one.
Jing Yuan's mind raced, and he suddenly asked, "Was the humanoid Devouring Beast you saw strong or weak?"
Mark looked at Jingyuan with a puzzled expression. "Why would you ask that?"
"I want to know if there's anything in common between what you see and the future you foresee."
