Vol V Chapter 44
As time passed, Colin had used the devouring ability countless times until he completely destroyed the Abyss Adventurer Armor and swallowed it into his body. This difficult devouring process had temporarily come to an end.
"Finished?"
Seeing that this scene that looked like a beast eating had ended, Carrie heaved a sigh of relief. She had thought that there would be a bigger commotion.
Feeling the majestic hot current in his body, Colin naturally knew that it was not completely over yet. It was like eating a large amount of food and having a full stomach. He needed to digest it further.
Currently, it was only temporarily devouring the Abyss Adventurer Armor. It was far from what an ordinary Extreme Eater Beast could compare to. If it absorbed all of it at once, it would inevitably fall into a metamorphosis state again.
With Colin's current control methods, it was not a problem for him to absorb a small amount, but a small amount of absorption was obviously ineffective against the scorching warm current that was as majestic as the ocean.
Therefore, Colin needed a suitable absorption environment to completely digest the Abyssal Adventurer Armor and turn it into his own power. If he was in the lighthouse, he could not feel at ease.
However, Colin did not intend to expose his own situation, so he replied indifferently,""Yes, what time is it now?"
Carrie looked at the time." It's been more than an hour. It's half past eight now.”
Upon hearing this, Colin nodded secretly. There was still time.
Once again, he transformed into his human form.
Carrie had already thrown the prepared clothes to him and teased,"Looks like you've gained quite a lot. With your mature appearance, you can charm quite a number of little girls on the lighthouse.”
Colin's human form changed, and he naturally understood what she meant.
From his perception, he could tell that he was in his twenties. His face was mature and no longer looked childish. His body was also strong and muscular, similar to Mark's. He had the standard body shape of a stylish man. It was the human youth stage, reflecting the peak performance of humans at this age, regardless of energy or vitality.
Judging from the fact that Silver Hair had maintained his human form for a long time, Colin would probably be stuck at this stage.
In his human form, it could be considered to reflect the growth span of Colin after he devoured it.
Taking the clothes, Colin quickly put them on. The outfit of a researcher reminded Colin of his previous life, when he was also dressed like a busy researcher.
"Thanks, Carrie."
"I don't know what you're doing here.”
Colin thanked Carrie, but she just spread her hands and pretended to be clueless as she continued her research.
Seeing this, Colin nodded silently and did not stay in the ecological research institute any longer.
When Colin left the indoor area and came to the open-air area, he found that the lighthouse seemed to have entered the nebulous clouds. It was pitch-black. Only when lightning and thunder roared could he see that the lighthouse had been enveloped by dark clouds.
Along the way, Colin saw the people of Lighthouse gathering from time to time. They seemed to be discussing about the gorilla disease…
Armament preparation room.
Mark punched the sandbag with his bare hands. As he vented his emotions, he kept recalling what his sister, Hongkou, had asked him before, Do you know what true happiness is?'
At that time, Mark was still a child. He naively thought that happiness was,'There will always be biscuits and lollipops to eat.'
Now…
Ma Ke understood what his sister, Hongkou, had said.'Being able to live with the person you like on the surface is bliss…'
The more he recalled, the more painful it was for Mark. Even though he was panting from punching the sandbag, he didn't stop punching. Instead, he punched harder.
At this moment, a cautious figure walked in from outside and grabbed a standard pistol.
Even though his movements were light, Ma Ke had already noticed it.
Even when the figure arrived behind Ma Ke, Ma Ke didn't turn his head. Instead, he reminded,"If you want to shoot, you have to turn off the safety first."
That person seemed to have no experience in using weapons. After adjusting it for a while, he aimed at Ma Ke again and said,"Take me to Shangmin Medical District."
From the sound of the voice, Mark could tell that the person behind him was a weak and old woman.
"What illness do you have that you have to go to Shangmin Medical District?”
When Mark undid the blood-stained bandages on his fists, the woman had already mustered up her courage." I…I want to exchange my heart for a commoner.”
"You're that dust man."
After hearing this, Mark understood that she was the Dust Citizen 1225 who had spread the news that she wanted to exchange her heart for a High Citizen.
"Quick, take me there. He doesn't have time.”
This was a violation of the lighthouse law, and the doctors in the medical area would not allow it.
"This matter is not within my scope of responsibility. I can't help you…"
Ma Ke faced 1225 and shook his head.
1225 begged," Captain Mark, you are the hero of the Lighthouse. I know you are different from the other citizens. I know you will help me.”
Ma Ke said to her in an extremely realistic manner,"Even if I bring you there, they won't give a dust man's heart to a higher citizen.”
"Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will still try.”
Seeing how stubborn 1225 was, Ma Ke kindly advised,""Impossible. No one on the lighthouse can do what you want. Leave early before anyone finds you.”
These words made 1225 feel despair, disappointment, and powerlessness at first. It was as if she had aged a lot in an instant. She lowered her head and pondered for a moment. In just a moment, she had made up her mind.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and the standard pistol fell to the ground.
Ma Ke was shocked at first, then he turned around in disbelief. He saw 1225 bleeding from his abdomen, his body swaying and about to fall.
He quickly ran forward to support 1225 and scolded,"Are you crazy? If you die like this, you'll die in vain."
However, 1225 continued,""Captain Mark, you are like the people of the past, not living by the cold laws. I am the same. We are not beasts, we are people with feelings. If one day, the person you like is in danger, I think you will definitely save her…
In the past, I was together with him. We survived the disaster. When we were trapped in the ruins, I also lay in his arms like this.
At that time, I thought I was going to die. He told me,'I must hold on. As long as you're here, I don't care even if the world is destroyed.
Captain Mark, he's waiting for me to save him. Please help me…"
"Hold on! I'll take you to the infirmary!"
Ma Ke hurriedly picked up 1225 and ran towards Shangmin Medical District.
1225's words were mixed with a painful groan, but these words touched the deepest part of Ma Ke's emotions. Recalling the scenes, it seemed to make Ma Ke's thoughts even more certain…
