Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Chapter 263 Returning to the Lighthouse

Qin Ming put down his teacup and said, "You can think it over before giving me an answer. If I take this thing away, human civilization may stagnate or even perish."

"What!?" Mark was caught in a dilemma. After witnessing all of this, he gradually realized that the Lighthouse was not as simple as he had thought. Morgan did not simply issue the Three Laws to maintain the status quo for humanity, but was searching for hope for humanity's continuation.

He asked, "Can we change the condition? I'll take anything I have."

Qin Ming glanced at Mark, a red light flashing in his eyes. He had already noticed that Mark's genes were somewhat special. Now he was watching to see just how far Mark could go.

Is it worth it for him to make a move?

"Huh?" Slightly surprised, Qin Ming thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Alright, I can give you another chance. In exchange, you need to accept my spiritual oath."

"A spiritual oath?"

“It’s a vow, you can think of it as an oath, but it’s not the kind that you just say casually. Once it’s fulfilled, violating the oath means certain death, your soul will be scattered, and even I can’t save you.”

"it is good!"

This is the last time, it has to be a success!

……

For his last chance, Mark returns to the time before he joined Nirvana Biotech.

"horse……"

This time, Mark raised his hand to interrupt Erica, saying, "Don't speak yet, I'm fine. The magnetic field in the densely populated ecological area is special. Tell everyone to be careful. I have arrangements."

He then turned around and walked straight to 4068, who was talking to his companion.

"Captain Mark has too much gear..."

Another Dustman laboriously carried Mark's equipment. As the primary combat gravity body, Mark's Dawn was equipped with a large amount of ammunition, which needed to be carried by these Dustmen.

These are also the main tasks of the Dust People in normal times: to transport supplies during the Hunters' operations.

4068 then said to his companion, "Then let's switch."

"Wait a moment."

Before his companions could respond, Mark had already walked over, startling the two of them. "Captain Mark..."

Mark pointed at 4068 and said, "Your name is 4068, right? You guys stop moving the equipment for now, I need to finish this quickly. Also, 4068, you go over there, Mo Cheng will arrange other work for you."

Another companion was somewhat envious. Mark's reputation on the lighthouse was too high, while the Dust People, due to the Three Laws, could hardly be considered "human" anymore.

So the fact that Mark remembered a Dustman's number at this moment was undoubtedly an honor in the eyes of the Dustmans.

However, when 4068 reached the corner and found himself alone, his already guilty conscience made him even more uneasy. He looked at Mo Cheng hesitantly and asked, "Um, what did Captain Mark want me to do?"

Crack... Pfft!

Mo Cheng pulled out a gun with a silencer, turned around without saying a word, and shot 4068 in the head, giving him no chance to speak.

The sudden noise startled everyone, but no one realized what had happened. Once everyone calmed down, Mark began assigning tasks.

Just in case, he specifically instructed several of his companions, "Strong emotional fluctuations in humans will release life essence, attracting Devouring Beasts, so everyone should try to maintain order at the scene and not cause any chaos before the Devouring Beasts are discovered."

"what!?"

"Captain Mark, how did you know that?"

"Don't worry about that. In short, the quieter it is, the safer it is. I have a map of Jingnan. Let's finish this quickly. Everyone just stand by. After I come out, I'll go straight back to the lighthouse!"

"But Mark, you're all alone..."

He raised his hand to stop Xuefeng and the others, and set off immediately.

This time it went very smoothly. In less than ten minutes, Mark walked out of the pharmaceutical company, taking the robot with him. He felt that this robot was not simple.

He then gave the order amidst cheers, "Silence! Everyone, pack your gear as quickly as possible! Evacuate this place and return to the lighthouse!"

"Yes!"

Mark scanned his surroundings, knowing full well that this was not the time to relax; he had to return to the lighthouse as soon as possible to be truly safe.

After a difficult journey, Mark and his companions successfully returned to the lighthouse.

"Captain Mark is back!"

"Captain Mark!"

"Lowering to the lifting platform."

"A large number of Devouring Beasts! Provide cover fire!"

Charles arrived at the scene with several priests, his expression grim. Looking at the crowd firing below, he only hoped that Mark would die down there. His gaze fell on a figure dressed in the robes of the Church of Light and Shadow not far away.

She nodded slightly, signaling him to begin.

However, immediately afterward, a gun was already pressed against his head.

Crack...

"Charles, do you think I'm invisible?"

Victor looked at Charles with a cold, hard expression, showing no respect whatsoever to the city lord's son.

Upon seeing this, Charles paused for a moment, then sneered, "Victor, you heard what Mark said before he left. If he really comes back and abolishes the Three Laws, the Lighthouse will be finished, and it won't just be a few people who die."

Victor remained unmoved, still pointing at him. Several city guards beside him had already restrained Sharif and the Lightbringer next to Charles. He said, "It's not your place to lay a hand on Mark. I've said it before, everything is up to the city lord to decide."

Charles narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself that Victor was old-fashioned, but he didn't dare to gamble with his own life.

He immediately snorted coldly, raised his hand and waved, saying, "Let's go."

He turned and left the scene with several priests.

Before long, Mark and the others returned to the lighthouse safely, handed the medicine to the medical department, and saved Morgan's life.

"Mark, the medicine you brought back is very effective. The city lord's condition has stabilized, but it may still take some time to recover."

Xuefeng and the others followed Mark all the way to the medical area, while Jingnan spoke from the side.

Xuefeng suddenly asked from the side, "Are there any aftereffects?"

Mark raised his hand to stop him, knowing that he was planning to strike first, and said, "This time it went smoothly. I want to go see Ran Bing. Let's wait until the city lord wakes up before we talk about anything else."

"Mark, you...!"

Xuefeng and the others were shocked. They had discussed it long ago and planned to strike first and take down the Church of Light and Shadow.

Once Mark controls the central hub of the Lighthouse, he will have complete control of it. After that, he can deal with Victor, and even if Morgan wakes up, it will be useless because the Lighthouse will have changed hands.

Mark shook his head, looked at Xuefeng and the others, and said, "Now that I'm back, Charles won't dare to cause trouble anymore. If we initiate a conflict with him now, Victor won't stand idly by. The Lighthouse is humanity's last home and can't withstand any more turmoil."

The group exchanged glances and sighed.

Jingnan was surprised that Mark could say such a thing, and a hint of relief appeared in his eyes. Although it was impulsive, Mark's sense of belonging to the Lighthouse was beyond doubt.

This is also why Morgan chose him as his successor.

Charles, driven by self-interest, is unpopular and unable to control the Hunters, which will only cause the Beacon to gradually weaken. Morgan doesn't believe in the nonsense that the protection of the Lord of Light and Shadow can bring hope to humanity.
