"These two are doing a pretty good job."
Seeing that Sui Yang had stabilized the lighthouse regime and that Sui Yue had gained the respect of the hunters, Sui Bian seemed to be talking to himself or commenting on the Red Queen and White Queen beside him.
“…”
The two artificial intelligences who heard Sui Bian talking to himself nodded silently to express their agreement.
In fact, Sui Bian recently discovered that he can use psychic gaze to appear in front of him, or wherever he wants to appear, in a manner similar to holographic projection.
In this way, Sui Bian can present his psychic gaze in the secret room of the Imperial Palace, so that the Red Queen and the White Queen can use the monitor to help him take care of all the two thousand recruits participating in the trial, as well as the main universe and the multiverse. matters.
If it is gradually improved, the Red Queen and the White Queen will be able to share some of the workload for him.
Although this pressure is nothing, no matter who it is, they can't escape the "law of fishing" in the end. Otherwise, Sui Bian would not have always asked Magnus to help him sit in the psychic amplification chamber in the past few decades. on the device.
Even his son can be recruited to "work" for him, not to mention the artificial intelligence that is his secretary? So there is nothing wrong with helping him as the boss.
As for Sui Bian's emotion, the main reason was related to his previous life.
The parallel universe that Sui Yang and Sui Yue went to corresponds to an apocalyptic-themed anime that he watched and studied in his previous life——
"Spiritual Cage".
Putting aside some confusing scenes caused by technical and economical issues in this work, such as the opening scene where 4068 alarms the spine group and the first hunter to arrive has unlimited bullets, the overall story is still above average.
But this work also made Sui Bian very "uneasy", and he still feels resentful about it to this day.
The first is that 4068.
This guy is causing trouble from beginning to end and has no time to relax.
Even though the hunter's communications officer issued a reminder to clean up wounds and blood stains, 4068 didn't care at all after being injured. He just cursed secretly and moved on.
This move eventually disturbed the protective mechanism of Mana's ecology (soil), causing the Hunter team to suffer heavy losses. But this guy actually survived with his incredible luck and killed Mark? ?
Secondly, what left Sui Bian quite speechless was how Charles, who had coerced 4068 into rebelling, knew that 4068 would happen to change positions with other mortals to avoid the fatal attack of the transformed pole-devouring beast (calyx beast), and to avoid Devoured by the soil?
No matter how.
When he gained insight into thousands of universes and discovered the existence of the "Spirit Cage" universe, he intentionally sent new soldiers to "clean up" the lighthouse.
However, Sui Yang and Sui Yue, his two "close" sons, did not live up to his expectations. They executed 4068 immediately and smashed Charles's head with one punch, finally resolving his knot.
Slow down.
Sui Bian looked at Queen Bai out of the corner of his eye and said: "Currently, there are few official members of the Trapper Legion. Put Sui Yang and Sui Yue on the watch list. After the trial is over, send the files to the Trappers and try to get them both." Become a full member."
"OK."
After giving instructions to Empress Bai, Sui Bian refocused some of his energy on the earth in the "Spirit Cage" universe.
The female experimental subject, that is, the surface forces of Bai Yuekui and his party, have noticed the drastic changes in the lighthouse and the "arrival" of Sui Yang and Sui Yue, and are currently in a wait-and-see state.
The "Lord of Light and Shadow" that the people in the lighthouse believed in at the beginning was actually a high-level pole-devouring beast that surpassed the king level.
In a sense, it is another evolutionary end point for humans to integrate into the Mana ecology.
Before 2048 in the "Spirit Cage" universe, a multinational group called Nirvana unearthed a well-preserved, somewhat "alternative" corpse of a prehistoric giant beast during excavation work in Antarctica.
After bringing it back for research, the Nirvana Group discovered that the organs and tissues of this giant beast were constantly regenerating, which had extremely high research value.
So the Nirvana Group handed over the remains of the giant beast to the "Immortality Project" research team that had been established for many years.
Afterwards, the research team used the corpses to conduct crazy in vivo experiments, and also cultivated a fake brain, the Cloteau system.
The beacon of the old society is one of the properties of the Nirvana Group.
However, this heartbreaking experimental behavior suffered severe backlash, causing the death of hundreds of millions of humans.
Sudden frequent wars and geological changes led to accidents at the research base of the Immortality Project. Those experimental subjects that escaped from the restraints began to quickly escape and reproduce, evolving into the original Mana ecosystem.
This also proves the "causal cycle".
Even so, there are still some political dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and military elites who have successfully continued human civilization on the moon and Mars aboard colonial ships.
As for the earth, which has been abandoned by the old society, its surface situation is getting worse.
The Mana ecosystem, which swallowed "billions" of human souls, moods, and emotions, gave birth to an elite individual life with independent consciousness and wisdom, the god-level pole-devouring beast.
The "Lord of Light and Shadow" who saved Charles when he was young was this guy.
Although Sui Bian was in the main universe, he was still able to accurately locate the Lord of Light and Shadow and sense his thoughts and emotions.
It has regarded itself as a god, a higher being that is transcendent of its kind and humans. It was just out of interest that it saved Charles.
After all, isn't the greatest pleasure of a god to play with creatures?
There is nothing more interesting than watching humans struggling to survive in the apocalypse, and watching all kinds of intrigues going on in lighthouses.
Moreover, this guy had noticed Sui Yang and Sui Yue, and even sent out a king-level pole-devouring beast to test them. It seemed that he intended to "tease" and "play with" the two Astartes recruits.
'Little thing, you're quite crazy. '
Sensing the fluctuations in the thoughts of the Lord of Light and Shadow, Sui Bian erased them "remotely" across the planet and universe with just a thought.
It is permanently erased in both the physical and spiritual senses, with no possibility of resurrection at all.
However, the Lord of Light and Shadow does have arrogance. If he were to benchmark and compare purely based on combat power, he would be no less powerful than a Thutmose battalion commander.
This was not an opponent that Sui Yang and Sui Yue could deal with, so he helped his sons eliminate them.
Even if it is a trial, it cannot really endanger life...
etc.
Sui Bian suddenly realized that he was taking too much care?
You must know that the Astartes in Universe 03 were in a state of self-destruction whether during the Great Crusade or the Great Rebellion.
How could Emperor Lingsan spare so much energy to protect his children like him?
Fine…
Sui Bian only doubted himself for a moment, and then stopped trying to imitate Emperor Ling San.
Even if they were peers, there were huge differences between them. Anyway, he couldn't sit back and watch while his heir's life and death were in danger.
Calm down your mind.
It seems that only Bai Yuekui and his ground forces are left in the "Spirit Cage" universe worthy of Sui Yang and Sui Yue's attention.
Moreover, even if there is a conflict with Bai Yuekui, the two "close" sons are still at an advantage.
After thinking for a while, Sui Bian ordered the two secretaries beside him: "The trial progress of the sixteen universes (spiritual cages) is about to be completed, and I will speed up the flow of time there.
Tell Arian that I will open the space gate at the designated location and take the surviving humans of the sixteen universes back to the main universe. If there is nothing worth developing, abandon them. "
"Yes (ok)." The two secretaries agreed together.

…
hours in the main universe.
Dozens of days in the "Spirit Cage" universe.
Under the clear and cloudless sky, there is the sparkling blue ocean.
The lighthouse, on the other hand, is maintaining a height of about two hundred meters from the sea surface, and is moving steadily along the coastline more than ten kilometers away.
Moreover, just looking at the size of the lighthouse, it seems to be "thicker" than before.
The pigeon cages, which were originally hung under the mushroom caps for ordinary people to live in and were high-risk buildings, were also connected to the main city, completely constructing the appearance of a city in the sky.
At this moment, there were two transport aircraft with a tilting wing structure (looked like an Osprey transport aircraft, but the engines did not use propeller wings). They formed a formation one behind the other and quickly sailed away from the coast towards the lighthouse.
When the distance between the two sides was less than one kilometer, the engines of the two transport planes began to rotate and slowed down into a 45-degree tilt.
Immediately afterwards.
The two transport planes remained hovering on the east side of the lighthouse, and then, as if they had received approval, they drove under the cap in sequence and entered the newly built parking platform.
Put the landing gear in place.
Stop.
Expand the tail hatch...
"It's so cool! It's so cool!"
“It’s convenient to have an airplane!”
Noisy and cheering sounds resounded.
I saw hunters with more sophisticated weapons and equipment, escorting civilians wearing unpowered, ergonomically powered exoskeletons to carry supplies, and walked out of the cabin of the transport plane together.
Everyone, even Ran Bing, who was in charge of leading the team, looked happy and comfortable.
Three months have passed since the arrival of Sui Yang and Sui Yue, and the lighthouse has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
The hunting operation to explore the military base came back with a full load, including a main battle tank controlled by four people, six personnel carriers that were twice as heavy as the main battle tank, four transport aircraft and the corresponding power supply, fuel, and ammunition. etc…
This time, the military power of the lighthouse was directly changed from shotgun to cannon.
The most important thing is that with the transport aircraft, wilderness hunting operations are more convenient and faster than before, and there is a continuous supply of materials in all aspects.
In today's lighthouse, even ordinary people can enjoy a life of three meals a day and meat (canned synthetic meat) every meal, and are full of hope for the future.
The Lord of Light and Shadow?
The damn Lord of Light and Shadow, under the leadership of Sui Yang, Sui Yue and Mark, made the lighthouse better and better.
When they were starving before, people prayed to "gods" for salvation. Now that they are well fed and drunk, they naturally have the energy to think about the facts and truth.
As for Morgan, who has retired from retirement, there are still reforms and coups that broke out three months ago...
Who cares anymore?
In short, it is enough to trust Sui Yang, Sui Yue and Mark unswervingly.
now.
The hunters and dustmen porters handed over the newly collected batch of cans to the city defense army, and then went to the equipment room to take off their weapons and equipment, and then prepared to be inspected by medical personnel.
In the command hall of the lighthouse.
Mark, still in military uniform, stood on the platform, listening to reports from Mo Cheng, Elon, Xuefeng and others on recent events.
Sui Yang, who had put on a customized black military uniform, was also standing on the platform, but facing the large sealed window and looking out at the sea view, as if he was ignoring himself and had no intention of participating in the discussion.
As for Sui Yue...
That Astartes recruit who is too lazy to think about political affairs should be frantically training a group of teenage back-up Hunters at the Hunter base.
"City Lord." At this time, Jing Nan raised his head slightly to look at Mark, raised his voice and concluded: "In general, the lighthouse has now entered a virtuous cycle.
Moreover, the materials collected are enough for the people of Lighthouse to use for more than three years, and the production lines for weapons and ammunition have also been completed. "
"Very good." Mark nodded lightly with his hands behind his back, "Just continue to maintain the status quo and add some green food to the common people."
After being the city lord for three months, Mark has transformed from a rough guy back then to a capable and qualified leader now.
"Everyone." Sui Yang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly entered the court discussion, turned around, faced Mark, Jing Nan and other senior officials, and expressed his personal opinions in a low voice:
"In the past three months, we have traveled all over the European continent defined by the old society and visited all places where hunting can be done. However, do we have to rely on hunting and collecting materials?"
"You mean...returning to the ground?" Jingnan tried to respond.
"That's right." Sui Yang did not object, "We should establish outposts on the ground, and then gradually establish permanent strongholds.
What's more, with Sui Yue and me here, any pole-devouring beast won't be a problem, even the Lord of Light and Shadow. "
"Well, it's not impossible to do the outpost...I...I...I'll go!!"
Just as Mo Cheng wanted to express his opinion, he suddenly seemed to see something so shocking that he couldn't even speak clearly.
Not only the new commander-in-chief of the city defense army, but also Elon, Feixue, Xuefeng and other high-level officials were like this.
Mark and Sui Yang, who had their backs to the sealed window, were stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked in the direction where everyone was looking.
I don't know how far away they are from the lighthouse, but I can intuitively feel that it is a huge space door with golden light emitting from the edge.
Immediately afterwards, a Moon Goddess-class ship, which was more than twice as tall as Mount Everest, was slowly sailing out of the space gate, as if it was reaching the sky directly into the outer space.
The originally calm sea became rough due to the Moon Goddess's own gravity, and the lighthouse was even affected by it, causing it to tremble and swing.
Even Mark couldn't remain as calm as ever.
That's the Moonlight Goddess level...
But Sui Yang didn't think too much, because after living in the solar system for many years, he was used to seeing too many Lords of Glory and Moonlight Goddess.
And the ship in front of me is one of them belonging to the Forbidden Army.
"It seems that Sui Yue and I have passed my father's test." Sui Yang couldn't help but whisper to himself.
———————
…
And before the Moonlight Goddess class arrives in the "Spirit Cage" universe and prepares to take Sui Yang, Sui Yue, Mark and all surviving humans back to the main universe...
Another time flow rate is "slowed down" according to the subjective consciousness of the human emperor, and it is also the desert of the earth under the apocalypse.
There were six Astartes in total, recently transported here by their father.
