"Captain Mark is a good man, I never expected him to turn out like this."
"By the way, what's your name?"
Lin Yuan suddenly remembered this matter.
Now that he has left the lighthouse, it's no longer appropriate to refer to him by the number 0609, the mortal's designation.
The old mortal was sixty-one years old, and the three great laws had only been promulgated for twenty-one years.
In other words, he had a name before.
"Me? My name is Fu... Fu something again?"
"Wait, let me think, I remember it was three words."
Old Chenmin pondered deeply, and several words popped into his head.
The number of the Dust People had been around for a while, and for a moment I couldn't quite remember it.
Each combination is possible, but none of them seem quite right.
"If you ask me, we should just call him Master Fu."
Lin Yuan suddenly suggested this, and then wrote it down on the ground.
When Old Dustman 0609 led a group of Dustmen to storm the Lighthouse Medical Center in order to save the little girl named 9033, he lied to them, saying that he had made an agreement with Mark.
They said that once Mark returns, he will become the deputy city lord.
This incited the common people to rebel against the three great laws.
In the previous storyline, he died and did not become the deputy city lord.
I was lucky to survive this time.
This name is also a good choice.
"Hehe, this is a good name. Back when we were at the medical center, I guess I kept my word."
Old Fu smiled with a touch of emotion.
Ran Bingfa, who was staying in the driver's seat, suddenly frowned.
"The bio-detection radar indicates that a large number of Devouring Beasts are approaching. We need to leave this place."
Lin Yuan nodded thoughtfully.
This is ultimately the end of the world. The wasteland is teeming with Devouring Beasts. Peaceful times are always fleeting, and we must not let our guard down.
Mr. Bai may not have discovered the traces he left behind; being overly optimistic is not advisable.
We can't wait any longer.
In order to avoid being surrounded and to save energy, we had no choice but to continue and enter the core ecological area.
Chapter 53: The Bear-Bearing Beast Appears, and the White Moon Clan Arrives.
After Lin Yuan and his group left.
The Devouring Beasts rushed over and roared at the sight of their companions' corpses.
If we had been a step too late, we would probably have been entangled by the Devouring Beast.
A few minutes later, another car stopped in the distance.
It's Bai Yuekui's team.
They soon spotted the gathered Devouring Beasts and the traces left by Lin Yuan.
Everyone focused their energy and maintained their original state to avoid being discovered by the Devouring Beast.
"Look, those are the bones left behind after the Devouring Beasts died."
Xia Dou's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed to the skeleton of the Devouring Beast that Lin Yuan had killed.
"It's really him."
Bai Yuekui frowned slightly.
Of all the people at the lighthouse, only Lin Yuan possesses the means to kill the Devouring Beast, and even that cannot be copied.
The markings along the way were all left by him intentionally.
It felt as if he knew these people would come.
"Boss, that guy's direction seems to be towards our ecological base."
Shan Da suddenly realized, "Could it be that the giant pot lid floating above has already pinpointed the location of Dragon Bone Village?"
He had always felt that Lin Yuan and his group's route was somewhat strange.
If it's just for survival, why go to such a dangerous place as the core ecological zone?
But if their goal is an ecological base, then it makes sense.
Xu Tong scratched his head in confusion. "Did those old guys who came last time leak information to the big pot lid? But wait, they didn't have anything on them."
Bai Yuekui paused for a moment, then said, "They haven't gone far yet. Let's go after them and see what's going on."
She was also unclear about the true intentions of Lin Yuan and the others.
Humanity's true enemy has never been each other, but the mana ecosystem; yet human nature has never withstood the test...
Over the years, Dragonbone Village has experienced more than one internal human conflict, and is no longer surprised by conflict.
When enemies come, we have hunting rifles; when friends come, we have fine wine.
In a post-apocalyptic world, survival is paramount. Since we can't ascertain their intentions, let's assess their strength before making a decision.
"They are about to enter the core ecological area and will inevitably have to fight the Devouring Beasts. We will observe their intentions and abilities from a distance."
"In addition, Shan Da and Xu Tong, you should be prepared to use spiritual guidance to rescue people."
The group nodded in agreement.
After all, the oath of guardianship in Dragonbone Village contains such content.
When encountering others of the same kind, observe them calmly. The strong will stand on their own; treat them with respect and do not disturb their path. The weak will struggle to survive; do your utmost to protect them...
When you encounter someone of your kind, keep your distance and investigate quietly.
If it is strong, do not interfere with its own intentions and avoid possible battles; if it is weak, protect it as much as possible and bring it under the control of Dragonbone Village.
If we encounter invaders of Dragonbone Village, we will stop the war with war.
Those who are brought into Longgu Village should be treated with care and protection. Although certain restrictions should be imposed, their lives should not be harmed.
To prevent a decline in the overall life essence of humanity, we must unite all forces that can be united.
In their view, Lin Yuan's ability to kill the Devouring Beast meant that he was quite strong.
However, we still need to observe to see how far it has progressed.
If it comes to the point where we must intervene to save people, then use spiritual manipulation to lure away the Devouring Beast.
This tactic has worked for them time and time again.
"That guy seems different from the person on the pot lid. They probably aren't bad people."
Xia Dou pondered for a moment, then stroked her chin and said.
Sui Xing recalled Lin Yuan's reaction when he discovered them, nodded and said, "It's been a long time since we've had any talented newcomers. I hope they won't disappoint us."
The group got into the car and followed the trail.
........
Lin Yuan and his group continued their journey and were about to reach the core ecological area.
Ran Bing suddenly stopped the car.
"what happened?"
Erica leaned forward slightly due to inertia and asked with some confusion.
"I received an audio signal that someone is buried under the rubble, about 300 meters away at the 11 o'clock position."
Ran Bing pressed the earphone, constantly adjusting the equipment and amplifying the sound.
A hand reached out from above the ruins, and a faint cry for help came from above.
"Help...me."
Although it sounds like she's weak and in pain, there's still hope.
"Are they survivors from the ground?"
Erica's eyes lit up. "We're almost at the core of the ecosystem. I didn't expect to meet a human here. Maybe he can lead the way!"
"Lin Yuan, should we just pass by, or rescue him?"
Erica asked excitedly.
They were all planning to venture into the core ecological area, but unexpectedly encountered people ahead of time.
If I could become a guide after being rescued, it might provide an extra layer of protection, or at the very least, it would teach them how to survive on the ground.
However, there are also certain risks. At present, everyone is struggling to take care of themselves, so it is also possible to choose to turn a blind eye.
However, Lin Yuan's expression changed.
This situation is very similar to that of a special type of mimicry, the Necrozont.
After a long period of mimicry evolution, the tail of the Possessive Beast transformed into a human hand, using human compassion and curiosity to set traps and devour humans who came to its rescue.
After being infected, swarms of baby beasts will appear on their bodies, and the baby beasts on their bodies are similar to facehuggers.
Not only can it absorb life essence, but the acid it secretes can even corrode armored vehicles, and it can also be thrown out as a long-range attack.
In the previous storyline, Suiying's (4068) team suffered a great loss.
Now that they have the information, the one who should suffer the most is the Devouring Beast.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said, "That's not a human, it's a mimicry Devouring Beast, and its body is hidden under the ruins."
"Huh? How did you figure that out?"
Erica was somewhat puzzled.
Ran Bing frowned as well. The Lighthouse had no record of such a Devouring Beast. Where did Lin Yuan get the information from?
"You'll find out soon enough. The Devouring Beast isn't far from our path. Slow down and get ready to fight in your Gravity Sphere."
The number of the beasts carrying offspring was too great, and each of them carried a large number of offspring.
The best approach is to deploy the Gatling gun directly, combined with kinetic energy enhancement to clear out the enemies.
Erica was a little confused, but she nodded anyway: "Okay."
As the transport vehicle slowly approached, Lin Yuan and Erica entered the cockpit of the gravity body.
Lin Yuan can fight without using his gravity body, but this saves him stamina.
Furthermore, the gravity-body Gatling gun is too large to be held by humans, and its excessive recoil makes it difficult to stabilize the trajectory.
Furthermore, with the propulsion device behind him and the pulley system under his feet, he can better coordinate with Erica in combat.
........
In the distance, Bai Yuekui's team, who had rushed over, spotted Lin Yuan and the others.
"Oh no, they've encountered a Beast of the Burrow. The new old man mentioned that the people with the big pot lid don't know that the Beast of the Burrow can mimic human form."
Xia Dou observed Lin Yuan's transport vehicle through binoculars, her tone somewhat worried, "Should we go and warn them?"
The new old man was referring to Gordon, the data administrator who had been exiled to a distant place before the lighthouse.
Tara, who possessed aerial farming technology, was also rescued and brought to Dragonbone Village.
Instructor Elon went elsewhere.
"It's best not to now."
Shattered Star shook his head and said:
"Since they don't know that the Possession Beast can mimic a human hand with its tail to call for help, this is the perfect opportunity for us to observe their personality and behavior."
