Chapter 1017! Jingnan
Chapter 1017! Jingnan
……
In front of the spacecraft ruins...
A white-haired woman jumped down from the back of a two-jawed beast and walked with her long legs to check the traces around her.
But after a careful search, apart from axle marks and footprints, she didn't even find a few bullet casings, let alone any useful information.
Then, she looked back at the spaceship, which had been blown up by almost a third.
"Given the Lighthouse Hunters' style, they definitely wouldn't carry so much explosives with them. Besides..."
While talking to herself, the white-haired woman sniffed the burnt smell in the air, but did not smell even a trace of gunpowder smoke from the burning explosives.
From this she could be sure that the explosion here was not caused by explosives.
"But if it's not dynamite, what else could cause such devastation? Could it be... you?"
The white-haired woman suddenly turned around and looked in the direction where the axle marks were spreading. Suddenly, her eyes flashed.
……
At the same time, in the scavenger convoy.
As the convoy got closer to the lighthouse, the signal became better and better. At this time, Mark was in contact with the lighthouse navigation control room.
"Yes, Commander Jingnan, I am sure he is human."
"He meant no harm, and he saved Penny... and a lot of us."
"If Commander Jingnan has any concerns, I can guarantee it. After all, the Lighthouse needs such powerful warriors..."
Mark spoke a lot, and when the call ended, he had no time to catch his breath, looking tired, when he heard Penny anxiously ask: "What? Did Commander Jingnan agree?"
"Commander Jingnan can't make a decision on this matter either. She also needs to ask the city lord for instructions..." Mark shook his head slightly, then he looked at Shen Ye who was chatting with Ran Bing, and frowned slightly...
Not long after, after the scavenger convoy passed through a ruin, a huge fortress floating in the air appeared in front of everyone.
At this time, the lighthouse's ES01 lifting platform had been lowered to the ground, and a group of lighthouse reception personnel had been waiting here for their return.
"Teacher..." After getting off the car, the first person Mark noticed was his teacher, Elon, the instructor of the Lighthouse Hunters. He strode forward and said, "We're back."
"It's good that you're back!" Elon patted Mark's shoulder, glancing to the side while expressing his emotion.
"Commander Jingnan..." Noticing the teacher's gaze, Mark realized that there was a woman standing not far behind him... It was Jingnan, the elite officer of the lighthouse, the head of the navigation control room and the scientific research department.
A woman with outstanding appearance and elegant temperament.
"Where are they?" Jingnan's gentle and magnetic voice sounded, but when she asked Mark, her eyes were already fixed on Shen Ye who had jumped out of the car with Ran Bing and Penny.
While she was looking at Shen Ye, Mark asked in a low voice: "Commander Jingnan, where is the city lord?"
"The City Lord agreed to let him visit the lighthouse. After all, you guaranteed it." Jingnan smiled slightly, then withdrew his gaze, his face straightened, and his voice lowered considerably. "But I have to tell you, when the City Lord heard the news, he was stunned for a long time. I've never seen him lose his composure like that."
Jingnan's deliberately lowered voice seemed to carry another layer of meaning, but Mark didn't hear it. He just shrugged and said, "To be honest, I was stunned for a while when I met him."
Seeing this, Jingnan shook his head slightly, then put on a smile again. He walked lightly and gracefully to Shen Ye, extended his hand to him with a smile, and said, "Hello, guest from the ground, Mr. Shen Ye. My name is Jingnan, and I am the commander of the navigation control room. On behalf of all the people of the lighthouse, I warmly welcome you."
Although Shen Ye didn't know whether Jingnan's warm welcome was true or not, after all, he didn't see the children standing in two rows holding flowers, nor did he feel the enthusiasm of the people on the lighthouse behind her. But he still smiled and stretched out his hand to shake her hand: "You're welcome, Ms. Jingnan."
He was not from the Lighthouse, so there was no need to call Jingnan "Commander".
But Jingnan was very satisfied with this title. After nodding, her eyes stayed on Shen Ye's face for a while, and then she said: "Mr. Shen Ye, please follow us to the tower!"
……
As the huge gears on the lighthouse slowly turned, the platform carrying vehicles and personnel also slowly rose.
Shen Ye held the railing of the elevator platform with his hands, and his gaze shifted from gazing into the distance to the lighthouse itself.
He saw that in every layer of space under the lighthouse disc, there were Dust People maintaining the lighthouse, and he also saw some Dust People children running and playing on the supporting pillars without any protection... and these Dust People children were all "defective" children born after the upper people forced breeding.
Perhaps noticing where Shen Ye was looking, Jing Nan, who was standing beside him, said, "It can be seen, Mr. Shen Ye, that you seem to be very interested in this place."
"It's more like doubt than interest." Shen Ye retracted his gaze and glanced at the woman: "Aren't you worried about these children getting into trouble?"
In the end, he still felt sympathy for those children of the Dust People. After all... he was still a good person.
"Uh..." Jingnan was stunned by Shen Ye's question.
And it wasn't just her. People around her like Mark and Ran Bing were also slightly stunned. They had thought a lot and thought that Shen Ye would praise the grandeur of the lighthouse, ask them some questions about it, or at least ask them what they want to eat later, but they didn't expect that he would ask this.
And Shen Ye asked this question on purpose.
He knew that many of the upper classes on the lighthouse had compassion for the common people, like Mark and Ran Bing. They generally didn't treat the common people with condescension. And people like Jingnan and Penny, while not as compassionate as Mark and the others, wouldn't bully them either. They were different from the upper classes who completely disregarded the common people.
So, if it were any other upper class people, after hearing Shen Ye's words, they would probably say to him with disdain that these dust people didn't deserve to die, but only Mark and his group around Shen Ye heard it...
Just as the platform was about to reach the end, the silent atmosphere was finally broken by someone, but it was Penny who spoke.
"How will you treat those children?"
Shen Ye heaved a sigh of relief. He also felt that he had asked a question he shouldn't have asked. Then he smiled and asked Penny, who had helped him out: "Do you want to know?"
"Yeah!" Penny nodded vigorously.
Jingnan, Mark, Ran Bing and others also looked at him, waiting for his answer.
But immediately, they heard Shen Ye say something that petrified them instantly.
"Then you can give birth to one yourself and raise it yourself, and then you will know."
