Other members of the city defense forces also turned around and raised their guns at Lin Yuan, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Senger frowned, his expression turning serious, and threatened, "4077, I advise you not to interfere with us, or I will kill you on the spot!"
Exposing your back to such an enemy is definitely not a good thing.
Lin Yuan's face darkened, and he did not answer, but instead drew a military knife from his waist.
The Sharingan slowly began to rotate.
He is not the type to be easily manipulated, nor does he want to be put in a passive position.
When someone points a gun at your head, it's not unreasonable to use a knife in self-defense, right?
The enhancement effect of a total of 800 energy points will further boost your strength.
If it comes to the point where we have to take action, we can wipe out these city defense troops immediately!
Lin Yuan stood in the shadows around the corner, his military knife gleaming with a cold light.
His entire face was pitch black in the shadows, with only his eyes revealing an eerie, blood-red glow.
"Oh my god..."
"This guy's eyes are like a demon's!"
"Those eyes... this guy, he's definitely a monster!"
The city's defense troops looked at Lin Yuan and were immediately filled with fear, a sense of dread arising from the depths of their hearts.
They had a vague intuition.
If anyone on our side fires, we could be wiped out at any moment.
The city's defense troops recalled Lin Yuan's calm demeanor as he cleaved bullets with his sword, and his current demonic aura.
It seems... that's actually possible!
Captain Seng's palms were slightly sweaty as he gripped his gun, and he immediately cursed under his breath:
"Born lowly, inferior mortals!"
Upon realizing his fearful reaction, he felt an overwhelming sense of shame.
This guy in front of me, no matter how powerful he is, is still just a person, a commoner!
They're already this scared before the fight even starts. If word gets out, where will their city defense troops put their faces?
An aged voice came from behind.
"Lord City Lord!"
Upon seeing the people, the city garrison soldiers immediately put away their guns, suddenly feeling a sense of relief.
The old city lord, sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed in by Jing Nan from around a corner.
Lord Morgan has actually woken up?
The people inside the ecological research institute looked surprised.
Charles's expression was even more complicated.
If Mark survives this time, that old man will probably still pass the position of city lord to him.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan slowly put away his knife.
This was his first time getting up close to Lord Morgan, so he subconsciously took a few glances at him.
The old city lord's face was expressionless; he looked extremely old, as if he were on his deathbed.
Even his mobility is limited to being pushed in a wheelchair by Jingnan.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan realized something, and his eyes widened in sudden understanding.
Damn, that old man, he must have arrived a long time ago, he's just hiding and eavesdropping!
The reason they didn't show up was because they wanted to test me!
Lin Yuan secretly grumbled to himself.
If they hadn't stepped forward, they would have been perceived as weak and feared the city's garrison firepower.
Morgan will probably have to reconsider whether or not to make a move now!
But this standoff with the city's defense forces has precisely demonstrated its strength and confidence.
This also made Morgan abandon his plans and choose to come out and call a halt.
“4077, Mo Cheng, Erica, you guys come in with me.”
The old city lord said calmly.
The tone was as if nothing had just happened.
"this......"
Mo Cheng and Erica paused, glancing warily at the city guards, hesitating whether to go in.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look."
Lin Yuan nodded to the two of them, reassuring them.
They then walked towards the gate of the Institute of Ecology.
Erica and Mo Cheng immediately straightened up, as if they had found their backbone, and quickly followed.
Jing Nan stared in astonishment, never expecting that the hunters would trust Lin Yuan so much.
"..."
Noticing this, Lord Morgan frowned and gave Lin Yuan a deep look.
Chapter 36 He can really react to bullets!
Jing Nan pushed the wheelchair, looking at the somewhat unpleasant expression on Lord Morgan's face, and then at Lin Yuan, feeling a little lost.
Judging from Erica and Mo Cheng's performance just now, 4077 holds a more important place in the hearts of the hunters than the city lord.
And it seems that the city lord noticed this.
Should we not be suspicious of 4077 because of this?
Jingnan was somewhat worried.
Not only Jing Nan, but Ran Bing also frowned slightly, revealing a nervous expression.
Just then, the old city lord sighed heavily, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, and said to Lin Yuan:
"4077, you have made a great contribution this time, and your ability and potential are obvious to all. Therefore, I can make you an upper-class citizen. I hope that young people like you can continue to protect the lighthouse."
Lord Morgan has already read the mission report for this trip to the ecologically dense area.
Lin Yuan's performance deeply shocked him.
He single-handedly changed the course of the battle and wiped out the entire nest of the Devouring Beasts; it was simply astonishing.
They even led a convoy and successfully fought their way back to the Lighthouse from the Devouring Beasts.
If it weren't for 4077, this old man might not have even received the medicine supplies before meeting the first city lord.
In a way, he was her savior.
Lord Morgan once again thought of that white-haired woman, who possessed even more terrifying strength than 4077.
The standoff between Lin Yuan and the city defense army just now made the old city lord realize something.
A person with such high combat power is impossible for the Lighthouse to control; the city's defense forces and priests pose no threat to him whatsoever.
As for the hunters, they regarded Lin Yuan as someone almost equal to Mark.
The only way to keep such powerful individuals here now is through a system that binds them with shared interests.
"By the way, as an upper-class citizen, you no longer need to use a number for your name. You can think of a name for yourself first, and then come find me when you've decided on one."
Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised.
Unexpectedly, Lord Morgan would propose to become a citizen at this time.
It seems that Old Deng has really run out of ideas.
Although I'll be going to Dragonbone Village soon, I'll still be able to become an upper-class citizen, and I can stay in the Lighthouse more comfortably for the time being, so why not take the opportunity?
Because he still politely thanked him:
"Thank you, Lord Morgan. I've almost come up with a name. I'll come see you after Captain Mark's surgery."
"That's awesome, 4077! Now you can live in your own house and won't have to worry about being stopped in the Upper East Side anymore!"
Erica excitedly bumped into Lin Yuan.
"Yes, you'll have to treat me to a fancy meal then!"
Mo Cheng blinked.
Ran Bing was also happy for Lin Yuan at this moment.
"Alright, now regarding Captain Mark's situation, I think the best solution is to use the Spine Worm as his new spine."
Dr. Carrie wasn't interested in that and steered the conversation back to Mark.
After all, Lin Yuan wasn't familiar with her and wasn't willing to cooperate with the experiment.
Erica suddenly thought of something.
"4077, can't your blood heal wounds? Why don't you give Captain Mark a blood transfusion?"
"It might not work; there are significant risks."
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "I prefer to have the spinal worm become Mark's spine."
His blood isn't like a life potion in a game, where it works instantly; it takes time.
Mark's body was devouring the cells of the spinal worm, which is why he wasn't controlled by it.
However, at this time, his cervical vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, and spine were all fractured, his spinal cord was damaged, and his central nervous system was destroyed.
It was the parasitic infection of the spinal worm that allowed Mark to survive until now.
However, because Mark is constantly devouring the spinal parasite, it will give up parasitizing him in less than twenty minutes and automatically choose to detach, at which point Mark will die immediately.
If your blood causes some trouble and the spinal worm can't take it and chooses to leave immediately, then things could get really messy.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, making Mark an eco-chimera according to the original plot can ensure the success of the anti-blood plan, which is actually a good thing.
"Wait, from what you're saying, 4077's blood has healing properties?"
Dr. Carrie immediately became interested.
She was aware of Lin Yuan's special circumstances.
The fact that blood can heal injuries and illnesses, while unexpected, is still somewhat reasonable.
“4077, he…”
Erica paused, then suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Lin Yuan with some hesitation.
Is this something I can talk about?
“That’s right, we’ve already tested it in the medical department.”
Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, indicating that he didn't mind.
This isn't a secret that needs to be hidden, so it's okay to tell it.
Dr. Carrie raised an eyebrow and said:
"Tell me about it, it might really help Mark's injury."
Erica's eyes lit up, and she recounted how she had treated the little girl 9033 and the old man at the medical center.
Charles scoffed, "You think you can cure diseases with just a blood transfusion? You must be hallucinating from being frightened by the Devouring Beasts."
Lord Morgan frowned; such a thing was simply unheard of.
"If even the apocalypse has occurred, what else is impossible?"
Dr. Carrie offered a different opinion, saying, "Although no further research has been conducted, based on your description, 4077's blood can regulate the body's immune system and accelerate cell division."
