Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 287 After the matter was concluded, the reactions from all sides

Outside the laboratory, people craned their necks in anticipation, while inside, everyone was filled with astonishment.

Because after that spine peeked out, it really did start babbling and complaining, just like in the original story.

This left Carrie, who was grabbing a knife, completely stunned.

"What are you standing there for? Perform the surgery!" Tie Hui's stern voice reached Carrie's ears, instantly snapping her back to reality.

Ignoring the sounds coming from the spine and head, the head was successfully severed with the help of the servo skull, and the babbling sounds disappeared without a trace.

As the spine and head fell off, a researcher used tweezers to pick them up and place them in a cryogenic freezer.

Meanwhile, the spine on Mark's back began to slowly wriggle, gradually entering Mark's body.

"The fusion has begun!" Dr. Carrie looked at the control panel handed to her by her assistant, the data report displayed on it looking frighteningly bright.

"Testing the stability of the living organism!" the pharmacist said, controlling the servo skull to begin the suturing surgery and a full-body scan.

"The test subject's vital signs have returned to normal!"

"The experimental somatic nerves are fusing with the spine!"

"Clear the scarlet pigment!" As the mechanical voice sounded, the dense fog of scarlet pigment in the laboratory was rapidly thinning and being expelled.

Those spirit seeds that had lost their life essence also turned extremely gray, as if they would turn into ashes and dissipate into the air with the slightest touch.

"The surgery was a great success!" Tie Hui exclaimed sincerely, looking down at the laboratory where the view was now clearly visible.

“Sir! The surgery was a great success, and we have also collected a lot of data about the ecology. I request that Mark be allowed to remain at the Institute of Ecology!” Dr. Carrie stood below, looking up at Tie Hui with confidence and determination.

"allow!"

Meanwhile, in the dusty area atop the lighthouse, 4068 frantically washed the thick, dried blood from his hands and arms.

The image of Mark having his throat slit flashed wildly through his mind, especially the way Mark looked at him.

Mark's injuries weren't serious; he was simply crushed under the Devouring Beast and the ruins.

He was perfectly conscious, and even after hearing his own footsteps, he was able to clearly identify himself.

The relaxed tone and cheerfulness he displayed in those conversations have only intensified his sense of guilt.

"The Headmaster is very pleased with your courage. The Lord of Light and Shadow will grant the wishes of every devout believer." At this moment, Fan Lu suddenly walked over and quietly watched the disheveled 4068 from a short distance away.

Behind him stood another giant wearing a simplified gravity suit, whose size was somewhat similar to that of the already deceased Sharif.

He returned to the scene where he was holding a giant umbrella and a lightning halberd.

4068 turned around in a panic, staggering, but fortunately the pool behind him stopped him from falling to the ground.

"Lord He Guangzhe, please spare 4277!" 4068's face darkened when he saw who it was.

“I was going to let her go! But I think you didn’t do a good enough job!” Fan Lu slowly stepped forward and took out the scanner that originally belonged to Fan Di.

"Why isn't Mark already dead? I did what you asked!" Upon hearing the answer, 4068 was stunned for a moment, then became angry. He hated the feeling of being tricked.

“Yes, but Mark isn’t dead! He’s in the ecological lab. Dr. Carrie and the people on the surface have brought Mark back to life!” She walked over to 4068, raised the scanner, and pointed it at the ID badge on his chest. “What do you think will be the first thing he does when he wakes up?”

"But you made me do it!" 4068 roared hysterically, flinging his hand in exasperation. Since things had come to this, he might as well just go all out.

"Who do you think would believe that?" Fan Lu tilted his head and changed the green ID tag on 4068's chest to blue.

"Then I beg you to spare 4277!" 4068 realized something at this moment and slumped to his knees on the ground. He reached out and took off his identity tag, seeing that the blue tag still bore the number of a commoner.

At that moment, all the joy of being promoted to the upper class vanished without a trace.

"Instead of worrying about that long-braided commoner, you should think about when Mark will finally breathe his last!" He nodded, gesturing towards the blue identity tag in 4068's hand. "You didn't do it thoroughly, so you only have the qualifications and status of an upper-class citizen. But things like reproductive rights, naming rights, medical access, and the right to residence... I'm sorry! You're not qualified for those yet!"

Without waiting to hear what 4068 was thinking, he turned and left.

Meanwhile, in Dragon Bone Village on the ground, Bai Yuekui, who was supervising everyone packing their belongings and preparing to move, looked up at the direction of the lighthouse, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

The horde of Devouring Beasts that were frantically encircling this area on the ground all stopped in their tracks, raising their heads and roaring in the direction of the lighthouse.

They then quickened their pace and surged toward this place!

"The Klotor system is still unable to start normally, but our inspection revealed that some kind of game is taking place inside!" Tiberos reported the results of the Klotor system scan.

"Game theory?" Tie Hui looked up in surprise and asked, "Are there two consciousnesses inside?"

Tiberius nodded in approval. "Flynn applied to conduct experiments on human brain connectivity, but I've already put it on hold! Should I approve it?"

"reject!"

“The two consciousnesses in the brain should belong to Mana’s original body and ASH’s two consciousnesses. It seems they haven’t merged yet and are evenly matched!” Tie Hui said, based on his memories and the plot of his previous life. But then, as if remembering something, he asked, “What are they fighting over? Control of the lighthouse?” “Judging from the data code feedback from the connection with the lighthouse, that’s indeed the case! But we’ve detected subtle fluctuations in another dimension!” Tiberos looked at the report given by the priest and couldn’t understand what “another dimension” meant for a moment.

Tie Hui didn't speak but fell into deep thought, on another level.

At this moment, Tiberos suddenly paused, looking at the information on the panel in his hand, and said, "Sir, the ground base has received a message that a large number of Devouring Beasts are converging on this area at an even faster speed. Furthermore, after scanning, countless Devouring Beasts have gathered in several surrounding ecologically dense areas. Devouring Beasts in space have also shown unusual activity!"

"Where is the experimental subject Mark?" After hearing this information and considering what they were doing, Tie Hui couldn't help but ask about Mark.

After all, this part of the plot in the original work is quite intriguing!

After Mark's surgery, the Devouring Beasts on the ground all raised their heads and roared to the sky. A special shot was also given, seemingly misaligned with the Starfall and Mana Flower in the canyon.

"The experimental subject's life force is stable, but according to continuous scans, the life essence we injected is being continuously depleted!"

Upon hearing this, Tie Hui instantly understood; everything connected. Mark's surgery had caused the ecosystem to lock onto this location.

Two consciousnesses within the Cloto system are vying for control of the lighthouse; one is clearly dedicated to protecting humanity and helping Mark return to normal.

As for the other one, its purpose is quite obvious!

"Keep the test subjects under strict guard, and at the same time, use the Spirit Seeds we have collected to supplement their life essence within a limited scope! Meanwhile, have the people of the ground base, Dragonbone Village, and other tribes accelerate their relocation to the Lighthouse!"

"Yes!"

After finishing the surgery and drinking a cup of hot tea, Dr. Carrie, feeling completely relaxed, walked out of the laboratory.

The next second, the hunters swarmed up, looking anxiously at Carrie. "Dr. Carrie, how did Captain Mark's surgery go?"

Mo Cheng took the lead in asking, while the others looked at Carrie with nervous anticipation.

Carrie said casually, "The surgery was a success, and Mark has a good chance of waking up!"

"Really?" Ran Bing whispered when she heard the news, then lowered her head and tried to hold back her tears.

Jessica, Feixue, and Erica all came forward and patted Ranbing on the shoulder to comfort her.

The other hunters were overjoyed and embraced each other in celebration!

Only Charles, standing in the distance under the black building with gold trim, had a cold smile on his lips and contempt in his eyes.

"Look how happy they are, Master. The Hunter Mark must have awakened!" My leg said, rubbing his hands together, ignoring the flattery.

Charles heard the voice and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes. Why would he use this guy if he wasn't short-handed?
This is absolutely detrimental to the image of Charles and the Light and Shadow Society!

"Don't worry, Mark's condition is such that even without any unforeseen circumstances, it will take him several months to fully recover. That's plenty of time!" Charles said confidently, then turned and left. "Let's all pray to the Lord of Light and Shadow for Captain Mark! And let's also elect a temporary Hunter Commander for this period!"

After the hunters brought back the medicine to Morgan, the so-called Three Laws became less and less frightening to the people on the lighthouse.

In addition, people from the ground would occasionally come to the lighthouse during this period, and you would interact with them in various ways.

The clash of ideas also shattered the three laws during this period.

After everything stabilized, Lord Morgan was invited out and began to oversee the various affairs of the lighthouse to a limited extent.

After learning what had happened on the lighthouse while he was unconscious, he looked at the piles of corpses and stacks of identification badges.

His once straight back, now bent under the weight of his advanced age, finally gave way.

His eyes were full of confusion, but the supervision of the ground staff around him forced him to focus on his work.

He met with Charles alone after the city lords' meeting concluded.

"Did you do all this?" Morgan didn't want to say anything more. He knew his son's character and knew that he had caused all of this himself.

“Lord of the City, I don’t understand what you’re saying. If you’re referring to the peaceful environment on the Lighthouse today, then I think I deserve some credit for it. It is also the duty of the Light and Shadow Society to educate the people on behalf of the Lord of Light and Shadow and to maintain the safety of the Lighthouse!” Charles stood there gracefully, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Although they had friendly expressions, for some reason the gap between them was widening.

"Stop it!" Lord Morgan had come to terms with it and sighed, wanting to advise his arrogant son.

After all, he had seen snippets of information about those tall, tin-clad men in news reports from the Old World, and he had also witnessed their power firsthand in the battle before the Lighthouse.

Furthermore, most of the Lighthouse's departments are now under its control, and according to the plans of those on the ground...

The white-haired woman will also climb the lighthouse again. Just how strong are they?
Morgan knew it perfectly well!
He didn't want to watch his son, his only bloodline, die without his consent.

To die right before his eyes would be such a disservice to Mei Wei!
“Your mother wouldn’t want you to do this!” Morgan tried to appeal to his emotions, but these words immediately turned the debonair Charles’s face into a grimace.

"What right do you have to mention your mother?" Charles roared, waving his hand. His mother was a source of eternal pain for him!
