Although Carrie is the chief scientist at the lighthouse, her achievements are rather unremarkable.
After leaving the Institute of Ecology, Jingyuan returned to the Research Department.
Jingnan was a little surprised to see Jingyuan leave.
"Where were you just now?"
"To Dr. Carrie!"
Jingnan had a pretty good idea of what it was about, and simply asked, "How's the research going?"
All we know is that the gene serum can promote the growth of muscle and nerve tissue, giving the user super strength.
Jingnan wasn't surprised. "Genetically modified humans existed in the old world. But the Lighthouse hasn't done any research in this area for a long time. How did Charles obtain them?"
"It was probably his private hunter who found it for him."
At this point, Jingnan suddenly asked, "By the way, Charles has a private collection room that I haven't been to yet. Maybe there's something you're looking for there!"
Jingyuan looked at the parts on the table and asked, "Don't you have any of these here?"
"The plasma blade material I have here is only enough to make your battle knife. Moreover, you don't have the micro-energy needed to make it into a throwing knife."
"Micro-energy source?" Jing Yuan suddenly pulled out a plasma dagger and said, "Can this be modified?"
Where did you get it?
“Uh…” Every time Jing Yuan took out this dagger, he would recall the erotic scene when he took it away.
"There's Charles there!"
"Now that the law firm is under your jurisdiction, take me to see Charles's collection room."
Jingyuan gestured for him to go and said, "I haven't gone to see it yet, so this is a good opportunity to broaden my horizons."
……
In a secluded corner of the law firm lies Charles's private collection room.
For years, Charles controlled the Light and Shadow Society, turning the law firm into his private domain, where he could decorate as he pleased.
As Jingyuan and Jingnan entered the collection room, they were greeted by a variety of famous paintings, gold artifacts, jade artifacts, porcelain, medieval armor, longswords, and more.
Charles's collection is diverse, with a large number of artifacts.
Jing Yuan said with a smile, "You could say he's preserving cultural relics for human civilization!"
Jingnan remained silent.
She knew Charles lived a life of extravagance, but she never expected it to be like this.
Bringing these things to the lighthouse will consume a lot of manpower and resources.
Jingyuan did come up with a good excuse for him. But this is the apocalypse, and human survival should be the top priority.
Despite the constant cries of shortages from the lighthouse crew, they still manage to find time to collect these things.
Jingnan continued walking forward; ahead were some artifacts from the Old World, while behind were some technological products.
Jingyuan's gaze was drawn to a set of black armor.
Because this set of armor is made of the same material and style as his. However, Jingyuan's set is a men's set, while this set is a women's set.
"He actually has a set of this kind of armor too."
Jing Nan was not surprised and said calmly, "These are the items from the batch of supplies you brought back. Charles took them from me."
Jing Yuan was taken aback. "You just took it?"
Jingnan searched the room expressionlessly, saying, "He'll find a way to take anything he wants."
Jingyuan shook his head helplessly; this really suited Charles's personality.
“Now you can take the armor back.” Jingyuan looked Jingnan up and down. “I think you’ll look really good in it.”
Jingnan turned to look at him, "I'm not a soldier."
Jingnan's gaze sharpened as he noticed something else.
Chapter 127 Solo Venture into the Ecological Zone (Ninth Update)
Jingnan walked straight over and saw several daggers displayed in a showcase.
Jingnan took one of the daggers and turned on the power switch.
hum!
The dagger glowed with plasma light.
Jing Nan held the dagger in front of Jing Yuan and said, "It seems he did collect some useful things."
With a little modification, these daggers can be turned into throwing knives.
After finding the dagger, Jingnan continued his search and discovered something else that surprised him.
Jingnan walked over, picked up a metal cone, examined it carefully, and said, "This thing is still good."
Jingyuan walked over and took a look, then asked curiously, "What is this?"
“An industrial-grade portable laser drill.” Jing Nan looked at Jing Yuan and said, “I saw you used a black drill when you were fighting the Devouring Beast on the ground. Since you can control objects with your mind, wouldn’t you be invincible with this laser drill?”
Jingyuan's eyes lit up. "You're a genius."
Charles's collection room truly surprised Jingyuan.
Jingyuan and Jingnan took away the useful items, and then he arranged for people to move everything from the collection room to the Light and Shadow Church.
An exhibition area was set up on the side of the church to display old-world items from Charles's collection.
The Lighthouse strictly forbids the possession of old-world items, yet former head Charles was the biggest collector.
Not only that, Jingyuan also arranged for someone to expose all of Charles's past atrocities against the common people.
Originally, Jing Yuan didn't know any of this. Jing Yuan only remembered that in the original story, Charles killed a Dustman girl in order to threaten 4068.
Jingyuan thought it was just this one case. But to his surprise, upon investigation, he found there were many more.
As Charles's past scandals were publicized one by one, his image plummeted from a failed coup plotter to a demon.
In the original story, the people of the Lighthouse hated Mark the Devourer as much as they hate Charles now.
Fortunately, Charles is locked up in a law firm; if he were dragged out and paraded through the streets, he would probably be smashed to death.
After Jingyuan's actions, Charles lost all his authority.
Moreover, after two battles, most of Charles's staunch supporters were dead, and those who remained could not cause any trouble.
……
"Chairman Jingyuan!"
"Chairman Jingyuan!"
As Jingyuan walked down the street, people greeted him one after another.
Because Mark abolished the title "Sir," everyone now adds their job title after their name.
Penny walked beside Jingyuan and sighed, "It's only been a few days, and Mark has become the city lord, and you've become the head of the association. We can finally walk openly on the streets. The lighthouse no longer feels like a cage."
Jing Yuan smiled and said, "A lighthouse should never be a cage. However, the three laws have not yet been abolished, and we still have a long way to go in the future."
Penny looked at Jingyuan, "I heard you're going down to the surface to go to the ecological zone?"
Jingyuan nodded.
Aren't you going to wait for Mark to wake up?
"We can't wait any longer." Jingyuan looked at Penny. "How is Mark?"
"He hasn't woken up yet, but his vital signs are stable." After saying that, Penny asked, "So, who are you planning to take down this time?"
"Only me!"
“How can you manage alone?” Penny was very worried. Even if Jingyuan had superpowers, the ecological zone was too dangerous, and he would be all alone without anyone to look after him.
"Don't worry, I'm just scouting ahead. With my abilities, escaping won't be a problem."
Penny was still worried. "Then at least take me with you!"
"The ecological zone is too dangerous. You should stay on the lighthouse!"
Penny was somewhat disappointed. Although she was considered an elite member of the Lie Hunter team, she was still far inferior to Jing Yuan.
Going with Jingyuan would not only be unhelpful, but would also be a burden.
"Alright! I'll wait for you at the lighthouse! When are you planning to leave?"
"Tomorrow morning."
……
The lighthouse sailed to the edge of the ecological zone and hovered there.
Before dawn, Jingyuan descended to the ground via a lift platform.
Only Jingnan and Penny knew about Jingyuan's descent to the ground.
