Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 268 Resistance
lighthouse!

City Lord's Hall!

"At the level of near-Earth orbit of the planet, we suddenly detected high-energy fluctuations. And we detected a large amount of biological aura. It's very strong!" Dr. Carrie became serious at this moment, no longer as nonchalant as before.

"Considering the irregular energy disturbances, there's a 90% or higher probability that there are traces of human activity in outer space!" Jing Nan added, standing up at this moment. Through the observation of the space telescope, anyone could tell that there were people in outer space and that a battle had taken place.

Charles, however, frowned as he watched the others eagerly speak, lost in thought. After all, the Lighthouse was the only remaining human base on this planet, and they were the last spark of humanity!

Although he had heard that some important elites in the Old World had escaped Earth in spaceships, there was no evidence, and he had never been on the ground, so he always thought it was nonsense.

But now it seems that this is not an exaggeration!

At this moment, Martin stepped forward and said, "Lord, according to our calculations and measurements, if something really happened in that area, countless pieces of space debris suspended in near-Earth space will be disturbed and fall towards Earth, and the area is right here!"

“I have already ordered the lighthouse to relocate urgently, but according to the analysis, it will take another three hours of flight to completely get away from this area and achieve a collision avoidance rate of less than 20%!” Jing Nan frowned even more as she said this. She couldn’t imagine what would happen if that huge amount of space debris crashed down and hit the lighthouse.

Upon hearing Jing Nan's words, Mark subconsciously glanced at Ran Bing standing beside him. After all, the lighthouse's course and all its affairs were calculated using extremely rigorous scientific data.

Any sudden fluctuation would waste the lighthouse's resources, leading to greater depletion of the supplies the hunters brought back from the ground and disrupting their gathering schedule.

Morgan was also frowning as he looked at the demand targets reported by various departments. If this matter was not handled properly, it would be a devastating blow to the Beacon.

After all, the current lighthouses, both spiritually and physically, are like camels that will break the camel's back if another straw comes along.

The fact that humans still exist in outer space, in particular, must never be revealed. A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes as she glanced at Victor without making a sound.

Victor straightened his back and put his hands behind his back. Although he caught the look in his eyes out of the corner of his eye, he didn't respond much, but he already knew what was really going on in his mind.

"These are just ordinary meteorite phenomena!" Morgan quickly interrupted them when he saw that they were about to say something. "Those powerful and elite people in the old world have indeed gone to outer space!"

These words elicited expressions of "I knew it" from many faces, but then Lord Morgan quickly changed his tone, "But the ecosystem had already emerged, and with countries embroiled in civil war, hardly anyone paid attention to its spread. So those elites who went to space naturally couldn't escape it! The ultimate fate was nothing more than the destruction of their ships and the loss of their lives. In addition, the space stations at the time were being expanded to cope with the ecosystem, but who could have imagined this outcome?"

Perhaps feeling a headache coming on, Morgan pressed his hand to his forehead and closed his eyes wearily. "In the very beginning, the spaceships and space stations in space were the first to collapse. In the years that followed, many devices were damaged due to lack of maintenance, and then space stations or spaceships disintegrated and exploded. At that time, there would be piles and piles of space debris raining down in the sky from time to time!"

He rubbed his forehead, sat up straight, and scanned everyone present, especially Instructor Elon, whom he looked at intently for a couple of seconds. "So this isn't a big deal. It's probably just another explosion at the core of the space station due to the aging of equipment over time! If nothing unexpected happens, we'll see many similar incidents in the coming years! So don't worry too much!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling that it was Victor's turn to speak.

"The Hunters department has reported personnel losses. Is it permissible to resume gathering missions?"

Although Morgan's words were a reasonable explanation, everyone present knew the truth, but they were indeed puzzled as to why the city lord was so resistant to such a thing.
But now that the city lord has spoken, no one dares to delve any further into the matter. Moreover, the biggest threat facing the lighthouse now is the impact damage from falling space debris.

The energy consumption caused by changing the trajectory, as well as deviating from the original trajectory, means that hunters need to travel a longer distance during summer gathering missions, and the energy consumed in this process has reached the red line.

These things are all urgent!
Dawn Hall!

Donnie had a pistol slung over his waist, an electromagnetic sniper rifle on his back, and a rifle in his hand.

He arrived at the Dawn Hall fully armed; he was a hunter who had undergone extremely rigorous combat training.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to just show up at the entrance of the Dawn Hall all by himself.

A group of priests walked down the corridor until the last one passed through a dark area, when a gleaming blade sliced ​​across his neck. Blood gushed from his throat, and he only managed a gurgling sound. The gushing blood splattered onto the backs of the priests in front of him, jolting them awake.

Before I could even process the blood-soaked scene, several more cold glints flashed from the shadows.

Donnie slowly emerged from the shadows, flicking his knife to wipe away the blood. Just as he was about to drag the body away and cover the scene, sudden footsteps rang in his ears.

Looking up at the newcomers, he saw Jeff Xuefeng, Mo Cheng, and several others glaring at him with guns drawn. "Donnie, don't do anything foolish. Captain Mark is about to become the city lord!"

Hearing this, Donnie paused, his eyes lowered. "I don't know what you're thinking, but maybe it's really like that former Hunter Commander, Red Hair. We both want to truly live, to live with dignity!"

Mentioning Hongkou Xuefeng and the other old men, a hint of sadness flashed in their eyes. But their gun barrels remained unmoved. "That happened a long time ago, it's all in the past! Besides, Mark is about to become the city lord, then we can do many things! You just need to be patient for a while longer!"

"I can't take this anymore!" Donnie roared, raising his rifle and pointing it at them. The atmosphere instantly became tense. "I want to live like a human being too! I don't believe you can't see it. The Lighthouse is conducting so many experiments, resources are scarce, and the Hunters have suffered heavy casualties and are short-handed due to prolonged ground missions. Yet the Lighthouse is ordering the Hunters to carry out breeding missions? This is depleting our Hunters' fighting strength! Can't any of you tell who did this?"

Gao Ge stepped forward. "Of course we know that this was done by that bastard Charles! But if you do it now, you'll be playing into that bastard's hands. Mark will lose his position as city lord because of this, and that bastard will take it! Then we, the Wilderness Hunters, will truly be at his mercy! You can't let the entire Wilderness Hunters fall into a passive situation for your own selfish desires!"

Kun Jie then stepped forward and advised, "Yes, Donnie! Come back with us. Let's pretend nothing happened. Once Mark becomes the city lord, whatever you want, everyone will help you!"

Ding Ding Ding-

At that moment, the sound of heavy objects being stomped on the deck could be heard behind and around the group, along with the sound of numerous leather shoes running towards them.

This caused everyone's expression to change, and in an instant, countless powerful flashlight beams shone on them.

A line of city defense soldiers stood at attention, rifles at the ready, their muzzles firmly pointed at him. Even several gravity-based beings were armed with heavy weapons!

At this moment, the crowd parted to make way, and a black gravity vehicle slowly stepped forward. The one with the open visor was none other than Senger, the commander of the city defense army.

The heavy footsteps and the sound of high heels following behind him were Sharif and Vatican from the Light and Shadow Society!

Behind him followed a large group of upright priests.

Vatican stepped forward, one hand on his hip, striking a graceful pose, a disdainful smile playing on his lips. "Upper-class citizen Donnie, wantonly murdered a priest of the Light and Shadow Society, attempting to sabotage the Dawn Hall's breeding mission. According to the Lighthouse Law, he shall be arrested and burned at the stake three days later!"

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Gao Ge and the others, saying, "Gao Ge, the hunter from Mo City..." He paused after reciting several names, "During the Lighthouse's curfew, he arbitrarily took weapons and ammunition from the armory. He intended to overthrow the Lighthouse's three major laws. According to the Lighthouse's laws, he is hereby arrested and expelled!"

"Put down your weapons!" After Vanti finished speaking, Sengge stepped forward, gun in hand, and stared at them menacingly.

Just then, a priest behind Vatican Brock leaned close and whispered something in his ear. This startled Vatican, who couldn't help but look at Donnie. "Oh?"

"Bring the people up!"

The next moment, several priests carried the blonde woman, who had collapsed to the ground, and dragged her in front of the crowd before slamming her to the ground.

The simple clothes she wore for breeding tasks were now tattered and stained with blood, revealing glimpses of her skin.
