"Captain, are they really Donnie and Penny? Aren't they dead?" Ran Bing was a little unsure.
Mark didn't know that there were many strange things going on in this mission. First, Penny seemed to see a figure, then he also saw a figure when he was retreating, and then his teammates who originally died in front of everyone ran back alive.
It's really weird. Maybe I was actually hallucinated by the Mana ecology.
Looking at the living Donnie and Penny, Mark didn't know what was going on and could only say: "Just believe them for now."
Ran Bing has no better way.
The convoy moved forward, and finally there was a huge building rising from the ground on the horizon ahead, like a giant mushroom, towering above the desert.
This is the beacon, the hope for mankind in the apocalypse.
The elevator has been lowered, the motorcade has parked, and it returns directly to the lighthouse.
First, they have to pass through the streets of the dust people, who line the streets to welcome them. If the hunting team cannot find resources, the dust people will be the first to starve.
Therefore, they most hope that the hunting team can obtain resources. Looking at the supply boxes in the carriage, they cheered. The hunting team is their hero.
Seeing that the Hunting Team is so popular and prestigious, some people are very unhappy, such as the leader of the Church of Light and Shadow. He and Mark are considered good contenders for the position of city leader, so they don't like Mark at all.
Duran and Dinisha mingled in the procession and waved to everyone, just like actors participating in a float tour.
They lined the streets to welcome and celebrate this victory.
Unfortunately, this victory only lasted a few months, and we still have to continue exploring.
This search was considered a success. After all, no higher-level pole-eating beasts were encountered, and the casualties were not large.
"Okay, turn in the equipment and let's all disperse." Mark was going to report on the mission.
"Another encounter? Can't you save some money? Don't bullets cost money?" The logistics uncle was very dissatisfied with the hunter's remaining ammunition, thinking that the hunter was wasting bullets.
"Where are your weapons?" The uncle said unhappily when he saw Duran and Dinisha were empty-handed.
"lost."
"Why didn't you people lose it? Weapons are your second life. If you can lose your weapons, what kind of warriors are you? Don't you know these are resources?" The uncle was very angry. They were all money.
Du Lan shrugged and said, "With Uncle Ben being so diligent and frugal in running the house, the lighthouse will definitely be stable for a long time."
"Don't give me a high hat. If you lose your weapon, your reputation points will be deducted." The uncle said unhappily.
Duran didn't say anything, he hooked Dinisa's shoulders, the two hugged each other and left.
Now it was the uncle's turn to be dumbfounded. Not only was he stuffed with dog food, but he also didn't expect that these two people would dare to make such an intimate gesture in public. This is illegal.
In the lighthouse, family relationships in the old world have been abolished, and free love is not allowed. Everyone must accept the task of reproduction. As long as they reach the age, they must enter the golden hall to complete the task based on the calculation of the life equation.
Outside the Golden Hall, couples are not allowed, and of course there are no relationships between father and son, husband and wife, brothers and sisters, etc., only job titles.
What Duran and Dinisha did was a blatant challenge to the laws of the lighthouse.
Snap, the weapon in Uncle Ben's hand fell to the ground because it was so shocking. Are these two people crazy? Have they forgotten the tragedy ten years ago?
"If it wasn't to challenge the lighthouse law, there would be no need to sneak in." Dulan said: "Anyway, we are not just a couple, there are many couples secretly. In the final analysis, it is the city lord's fault. Men and women are mixed in the wilderness hunting team.
, it would be strange to fall in love soon. So it’s the city lord’s fault to fall in love, we are aboveboard.”
Dinisha smiled and said: "Your ability to confuse right and wrong is getting better and better."
"Don't you think what I say makes sense?"
"It does make sense. After all, love is also a kind of emotion and it is difficult to control. Sometimes love comes suddenly and cannot be stopped. If you cannot stop love, you must take precautions according to the rules. It is true that the contact between men and women in the team should be reduced. On the one hand,
It is not allowed to fall in love, and at the same time, it allows men and women to take risks together. This is a complete test of human nature." Dinisha said: "Even if there is a punishment at the stake, it is impossible to prevent all love. So what are you going to do? Help the city lord improve the system?"
"I don't know either. Let's challenge the law first and talk about the rest later." Dulan planned to take it one step at a time.
"Ahem, although I know that young people are full of emotions, but in broad daylight, you should at least restrain yourself." An old man with a white beard stopped Dulan.
This is the instructor of the hunting team. He knows very well what is going on in the hunting team. He knows that many people are in love, but everyone is hiding it. They don't know what Duran and Dinisha are doing.
"We are not in love." Du Lan lied with his eyes open.
"We're all hugging each other and haven't fallen in love yet?"
Duran said: "No, it's called love. It means we have a good relationship. You don't have any evidence to prove that we are in love when we hug each other, right? Captain Mark and I often do this. You can't say that the captain and I are also having an affair?
So this is not love, this is called food." He began to exploit legal loopholes.
The law does not allow old world family relationships and free love, but it does not prohibit eating.
Duishi is either a normal family relationship, or living together as a couple. Even if it is exactly the same as a family couple in daily life, it is not called a marriage relationship, it is called Duishi. It is usually a female lily, a eunuch and a palace maid.
The instructor blinked, not knowing what to say for a while, and finally said: "The Church of Light and Shadow doesn't care whether you are interested in each other or in love. Once they determine that you are in love, they will arrest you."
"It's better to dismiss the city lord and just let the leader be the city lord. The law is the law, and the religion is the religion. If the lighthouse can't even distinguish this, it will have no future," Dulan said.
"..." The instructor felt that Downey seemed to have changed. Although he was glib before, he was definitely not so eloquent: "Nothing happened to you on the surface, right?"
"It's nothing, we just encountered a group of pole-devouring beasts. Under the cover of Captain Mark, we retreated safely," Duran said.
"But you have changed. You didn't dare to violate the laws of the lighthouse before."
"I didn't break the law, instructor, did I break the law?" Dulan asked, "This is about food, not family. If the lighthouse prohibits any physical contact between male and female team members, then there should be no mixing of men and women.
Instead, it should be separated into two troops. But the lighthouse does not have a male and female branch, which means that what Penny and I did is completely legal and legal. As long as we don't develop into a family, it's not illegal."
The surrounding team members all nodded after hearing this, thinking that Donnie was right.
"Donny has always been law-abiding. He understands the law very well, and he is indeed right." Some team members thought that what Donny said was right, and asked: "What exactly do you mean by right food? And the family in the old world."
Is there any difference?"
"Of course it's different. If it's the same, wouldn't I be breaking the law? Food is food, definitely not family." Dulan said seriously.
He has already announced that many young team members have their eyes lit up. Apparently they also want to learn about food and how to have contact with their loved ones without breaking the law.
The teacher was helpless. He was very aware of the couples in the team, but he always turned a blind eye because he knew that it was impossible to prevent such things. As Dulan said, there will inevitably be problems in mixed-sex groups.
