A week later.
A few days ago, the hunter team came back. They went to dozens of people, but only less than a quarter came back, and there were two seriously injured people. However, the mission was completed. They brought back medicine that could keep Morgan alive. , but because so many years have passed, it is unknown whether the medicine is still effective, and if so, how much is left.
Dr. Carrie conducted a pharmacological analysis and injected Morgan with the drug after confirming that it was available. However, the effect was average. Although the condition improved, the person was still in a coma with no signs of waking up. Charles presided over the court meeting to report to the heads of various departments on the encounters and losses of the Hunter team on the ground, and to solicit their opinions on whether to use this batch of drugs and what to do if there were any risks.
There is a saying that the law does not blame everyone. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that if Morgan fails to wake up once the treatment plan is approved by the court, it will not be Charles's responsibility, but the responsibility of everyone attending the meeting. If everyone is responsible, no one is responsible.
"Everyone knows what happened to the Hunter team. If it weren't for the conflict between the Devouring Beasts over their territory, it would have been impossible for our people to come back, let alone bring back medicines."
After listening to the report from the representative of the hunter team, Dr. Carrie held her right elbow with her left hand and her chin with her right hand and said, "Oh? A group of pole eaters will take advantage of another group of pole eaters to sneak in when another group of pole eaters is attacked, and they also learn how to We need to lay an ambush and wait for the Hunter team to go deep into the underground facilities and then defeat them one by one. It seems that they have been evolving. It seems... we also need to deepen our understanding of them as much as possible, and we cannot do it behind closed doors."
"..."
Charles sat on the city lord's throne, tilting his head and looking boredly at the people below who expressed their thoughts about the hunter's mission. Some missed Mark, some lamented the rapid evolution of the pole beast, and some prayed for Morgan to get better as soon as possible. of.
"Master Huishou, I heard that you are going to the Dawn Hall to perform a breeding mission?"
This sentence was said by Jing Nan, and everyone present changed their expressions, thinking that she was really... not picking up the pot.
Jingnan certainly had reason to do this, because in the previous court meeting, Charles used her intention to go to the Dawn Hall to perform a breeding mission to embarrass her. She went and successfully dated a man whose name she didn't know, but whose appearance was particularly pleasing to the eye and could make people happy. She had a relationship with a man who was particularly relaxed. After that, Charles began to make small moves behind the scenes, winning over people in the navigation control room and placing confidants inside.
This made her very unhappy and felt humiliated.
Two days ago, I don’t know who leaked the news that the acting city lord Charles had also received a breeding mission and would go to the Dawn Hall in a week. The central computer also "kindly" reminded him to control his diet during this period so that he could use the best food. status to perform tasks.
The person who was chosen by the Lord of Light and Shadow, the leader of the Light and Shadow Association, was also chased by the three laws, or doctrines. One day, it felt good to die under the gun.
Charles said angrily: "Jingnan, I am now the acting city lord!"
Jingnan said: "The breeding mission is the first of the three laws. Do you want the acting city lord to take the lead in violating it? What's more, the excellent genes passed down are the teachings of the Lord of Light and Shadow. Are you going to disobey the teachings of the Lord of Light and Shadow?" Or is it that this is not the teaching of the Lord of Light and Shadow at all, but..."
She didn't say what she said clearly, but everyone knew that the words behind it were definitely not good words.
Charles said: "Jing Nan, how brave are you to question the Lord of Light and Shadow?"
Jing Nan said: "Did I say anything? I didn't say anything."
Charles was so angry at her that he could not speak. He waved his hand downwards and said, "Let the court meeting end here. Dismissal."
He flicked his cloak, left the city lord's throne, and walked to the room on the right.
Engineer Jessica tugged on Jingnan's sleeve: "You just said that, aren't you afraid that he will give you little shoes to wear in the future?"
"I will stop working on the front line in three months, with the main purpose of taking care of the fetus. I may not be able to return to the navigation control room in the next year. What kind of shoes can he give me? Will he not let me have a baby?"
There was unconcealable resentment in Jing Nan's words. She always felt that if it hadn't been for this shameless villain who played tricks and conspiracies all day long, Mark would not have had his head blown off by the desperate counterattack Chenmin 3352.
Jessica looked at her side face and sighed. Yes, it was indeed difficult for Charles to catch Jing Nan, but what if the child she gave birth to was not a Shangmin, but a Chenmin?
…
Want to ask why Charles is so upset?
Of course, it's the damn central computer that doesn't allocate breeding tasks early and doesn't allocate breeding tasks later. It allocates breeding tasks at this time.
As for the irritation and anger, only a small part of it was due to Jing Nan's sarcastic words and attitude, but more of it came from inner anxiety.
Yes, he was very anxious. Sitting on the throne of the city lord with one buttock, he was very anxious among the ten thousand people.
The dignified Lord of the City is on a breeding mission. If the child born is genetically sequenced and is defined as a commoner, where will his face be shown?
The key is that you have to go. You must know that he is the acting city lord, the light and shadow will be together, and everyone is looking at him.
After much thought, there was only one person who could help.
Five minutes later, when all the employees of the Institute of Biochemistry were going to the cafeteria to eat, he knocked on the door of Dr. Carrie's laboratory.
As he expected, the woman was a super unsociable guy. While others were eating in the cafeteria, she was buried behind the computer, carefully sorting out the experimental data, trying to discover something from it.
"Dr. Carrie."
"Lord City Lord, I don't know why you condescend to come here."
Charles said: "It's the acting city lord."
"Is there any difference?" In the eyes of people like her, it doesn't matter who is the city lord, as long as it can provide her with the experimental materials and scientific research equipment she wants, that's enough.
Charles didn't want to argue with her about this kind of thing. He hesitated for a while, and tugged on the skirt of his cloak with his hands to hide the unnatural look on his face: "That's it, Dr. Carrie, I believe you have heard that, three Queen of Heaven, I will go to the Dawn Hall to perform the breeding mission, but as the acting city lord, I am worried..."
"I know what you are worried about." Dr. Carrie did not let him finish his words: "Don't worry, the Lord of Light and Shadow will protect you, Acting City Lord."
These words are very congregant, these words are very Charles, but coming from the mouth of the director of ecology and medical care, it is very awkward, especially awkward.
Charles wanted to be angry but did not dare to be angry. He knew that this was irony from the scientist, because she had never been interested in the tricks of the Light and Shadow Society.
"Dr. Carrie, I think you should understand that what you are doing is to treat the physical pain of the lighthouse people, and the mission of the Light and Shadow Society is to comfort their spirits and redeem their souls, so both you and I are working for you. Contribute to the stability of the beacon and the future of mankind.”
Dr. Carrie thought for a while, stood up and walked to him, handing over a brown vial containing medicine: "This is a major achievement of human genetic engineering in the old era. It can improve your human body environment and help improve your health." Dominant expression of genes.”
Charles was overjoyed: "Dr. Carrie, I will definitely support your work better in the future. Haven't you always wanted more samples of the pole-eating beast? I will give it to you if the city lord cannot give it to you."
After the two exchanged polite words, Charles left the Biochemistry Laboratory.
At this time, Lin Yue walked out of the lounge at the back: "No need, you will be able to support her work well soon."
Dr. Carrie stood silently behind him.
…
Three days later.
Medical center.
Lin Yue walked into a ward and put his hand on the wheelchair by the window.
Sensing his arrival, the woman sitting in front turned back: "I remember you, you are... Dr. Carrie's assistant."
"That's right." Lin Yue said, "I also remember you, Charles' right-hand man, Lord Light Bearer."
As he spoke, he pushed the wheelchair outside.
The Light Bearer said, "Where are you taking me?"
"Take you to meet the old city lord?"
"He's awake?"
"Soon."
The Light Bearer looked puzzled, because the man's tone was strange, and the content of what he said was also strange. She was Charles' right-hand man, why should she go to see the old city lord?
"Who told you to do this?"
Lin Yue seemed oblivious and continued to push the wheelchair forward.
She found that the medical center today was much different from the past. There were no nurses walking back and forth in the corridors. There were scattered documents and medical equipment on the ground. It seemed that an accident had occurred and those people had to evacuate urgently.
The ICU was at the end of the corridor, but the wheelchair suddenly stopped in the middle, because the door of the medical center banged open, and a man walked in with three soldiers.
It was Victor, the commander of the city defense army.
