Chapter 10: Return to the lighthouse

Views:

Would Xu Le cook the books? Of course not, he has no sympathy for evil.

Moreover, cooking the books is a highly technical undertaking, and this ability is basically reserved for the big names in the industry.

I said this to Bai Jing just because I wanted to survive.

Bai Jing looked at Xu Le with satisfaction:

"Not bad, very good. I can tell at a glance that you have great potential for advancement in the future."

Bai Jing repeated her praise several times, but Xu Le was a little confused.

The abilities that I have demonstrated should be very obvious, and I can directly check the remnants of ancient sounds.

Even Captain Bai Jing needs the help of items to do things, but I can do it easily.

But why didn't she bring it up again

Xu Le's original idea was to gain Bai Jing's respect after demonstrating this ability.

With the help of the Night Watchman, he could get rid of the terrible identity of being alone at night and return to the lighthouse safely.

But now it seems that Bai Jing didn't mean that.

She didn't even mention the ability Xu Le had just demonstrated, which was the most surprising thing for Xu Le.

Bai Jing patted his shoulder as if she saw through Xu Le's thoughts.

Then he turned around with a smile and waved to the others.

"Let's go, and take him with us."

"Boss? Do you really want to take him away? It will be very troublesome.

It’s not worth it to bring a night watchman back.

It takes a lot of resources just to inspect them, and even if they pass the inspection, there is still a monitoring period.

We don't have enough manpower to begin with, so who has time to monitor him? If anything goes wrong, we will definitely be blamed."

Surveillance period? Xu Le remembered this word.

As soon as Bai Jing opened her mouth, other team members raised questions.

Although Xu Le showed some abilities, the other team members didn't really care.

Even if this ability is useful, so what

After all, Xu Le is not one of them, so there is no need.

Another person followed suit:

"Yes, boss. Even if something happens again after the surveillance period, our superiors will definitely make us take the blame.

For a guy who stays overnight like this, the risk of distortion is too great..."

The man wanted to say more, but his voice became smaller and smaller under Bai Jing's direct gaze.

Bai Jing suddenly put away the banditry she had shown in front of Xu Le just now, and said in a slightly formal tone:

"Didn't you hear what he just said

As a lighthouse keeper, we are supposed to follow the laws of the lighthouse, understand?"

Phew!

As soon as Bai Jing finished speaking, one of the older team members laughed out loud.

Bai Jing didn't bother to be polite with him. She picked up a brick from the ground and threw it at him.

Fortunately, the man was quick with his hand and dodged the brick.

But Bai Jing still refused to give in:

"Old Cow, you still dare to hide?"

"Oh." The team member named Lao Niu didn't dare to move anymore and just stood there obediently.

Then, Bai Jing threw the second brick and hit him on the forehead.

Bang!

The bricks were broken, but no one was hurt.

As a pioneer, Lao Niu is most likely an extraordinary person, so it is normal that his head is harder than a brick.

Xu Le saw all of this, but apart from commenting in his heart on the exaggerated acting of these people, he had nothing much to say.

Moreover, he did not express gratitude to Bai Jing just because she said a few nice words to him.

He didn't understand these people, didn't understand the system of the Lighthouse, and didn't have enough knowledge about the extraordinary people.

Don't make judgments based on a few words.

Bai Jing waved her finger at Lao Niu, looking very sincere:

"Old Niu, do you know why you are still an ordinary team member after more than 20 years, while I have become the captain in just ten years

Pattern, do you understand? It's the Fourth Era now, do you know what's most important

Talent, nothing is more important than talent.

Is there anyone among you who can tell the difference between ancient sounds and pollutants with just the naked eye

How could you, after experiencing life and death, still have the clarity of mind to talk to me about the Night's Watch's Law

No? "

Lao Niu looked at Bai Jing with grievance and muttered softly:

"Wang Yueqin from the next-door team was promoted to team leader in just two years."

"Shut up."

"oh."

The team members seemed to be accustomed to the conversation between Bai Jing and Lao Niu. They all kept silent, waiting for Bai Jing's orders.

"Everyone is ready to go back. Okay, Mr. Xu Le, you can go with us.

But before you leave, you have to destroy your things."

Hearing that Bai Jing was determined to take him away, Xu Le finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With the protection of the Night Watch pioneers, he should be able to return safely to the human city-state, the lighthouse.

As for what Bai Jing meant by the most rigorous and detailed examination.

Xu Le didn’t know and didn’t dare to ask.

It is a great blessing to be able to survive in such a terrible situation.

What he had been through from last night till now was too pressing.

Now he needs some space and time to digest and think.

Digest the memories and items he obtained.

Think about what to do in the next life in another world.

Xu Le stood up and watched as the Trail Blazers threw the bodies, clothes, backpacks and other things together, then poured kerosene on them and set them on fire.

Looking at the blazing flames, Xu Le felt inexplicably relieved.

Xu Le knew that these things were actually not polluted by ancient sounds.

But he would not stop this destruction, as he always felt a little bothered about Lao Zhou's death.

If this matter was investigated, he would not have a good reason to explain it.

The fact that I am a time traveler is even more outrageous than Lao Zhou’s death.

In today's lighthouse environment, if you say you are a time traveler, you will most likely be burned to death as a weirdo.

But Xu Le didn't notice it when he looked at the fire and breathed a sigh of relief.

A pair of eyes were always staring at him.

After walking out of the hut, Xu Le could see the outside world clearly.

A suburban area with some green vegetation. It is difficult to describe what it looks like specifically.

All I can say is that there are some grass, some trees, and some abandoned houses.

It was probably the outskirts of a rural gathering place in the previous life, and it was a deserted one.

But the environment here is very good.

There were almost no clouds in the blue sky, it was very bright.

When the warm sunlight falls on your body, you feel very comfortable and lazy.

Xu Le closed his eyes, stretched, and took a deep breath of the air here.

Maybe this is... a new life!

Xu Le clenched his fists. Now that he had been reborn, he should seize the opportunity.

The members of the Pioneers have already started to move forward, with only Xu Le hanging behind.

Xu Le knew that in the eyes of most people, he was just a burden, or even a silent bomb with certain risks.

Complaining and arguing will most likely result in them abandoning you.

So when he saw this, he hurriedly followed.

But before he arrived, Bai Jing suddenly emphasized in a very cold and serious tone:

“Let’s just pretend today’s incident never happened.

As for Xu Le's abilities, keep them all to yourself, understand?"

"Yes." Everyone whispered.

Arriving at the intersection, Xu Le saw an eight-wheeled steam chariot that looked very apocalyptic.

Thick armor plates, eye-catching gun barrels, and high-hanging whistles and lighthouse flags.

Looking at the car, Xu Le couldn't take his eyes away.

"How about the R6 model steam tank produced in Zion? Not bad, right

However, this kind of car is very expensive. If you don’t know how to cook the books, you may not be able to afford it.”

"Forehead."

Xu Le didn't know how to respond. Was Bai Jing's intention an invitation

Bai Jing did not give a clear answer. She jumped into the car and stretched out her hand to Xu Le.

"Come up."

"good."

At this time, other team members also boarded the steam chariot one after another.

Boom!

The steam started, and with a loud whistle, the steam tank set out on the road back to the lighthouse.

Xu Le looked at the wilderness in front of him: "Lighthouse, here I come!"
