Mark reported the situation of surface exploration to the city leader, concealing the information about Downey and Penny to prevent his teammates from being investigated. But he truthfully reported the discovery of humans, and it was very suspicious that humans were still staying with the pole-devouring beasts.

The city lord said that there would be no humans on the surface, and Mark must be hallucinating, so he would not discuss the matter again. Then he began to announce: "I am getting older and older, and it is time to elect the next city lord."

As soon as they heard about the next city lord, everyone became energetic.

The Light and Shadow Church is responsible for faith, the city defense army is responsible for public security, the scientific research institute is responsible for scientific research, and the wilderness hunting team is responsible for external exploration. Everyone had a chance to choose the city lord, but the city lord Morgan’s eyes finally fell on Mark.

Obviously, the hunting team is the most important force of the lighthouse. Morgan himself came from the hunting team, and he knows that the hunting team can obtain resources and the support of the dust people and the superior people.

As for the city defense army, their role is only to maintain law and order, and they are often complained about.

Although the Church of Light and Shadow spreads faith, there are still many people in the lighthouse who do not believe in religion at all.

Finally, although the scientific research institute is also very important, it is unknown and rarely has direct contact with everyone.

Therefore, the captain of Hunting Wilderness is the most suitable person to take over as the city lord. He has enough combat power and reputation. More importantly, Mark is 'that person' who brought the lighthouse, and he may be able to become a hope. The city lord knew that there was someone on the surface, but he just didn't say anything and he was just like the old Riddler.

"The next city lord is Mark!" the gray-haired city lord Morgan announced.

The expressions of the four people were all very subtle. Among them, Charles, the leader of the Church of Light and Shadow, had the most twisted expression, because he believed that the next city lord must be him, and he was the one chosen by the Lord of Light and Shadow.

It's a pity that the city lord chose Mark.

Mark also looked surprised. He had no interest in the position of city lord and had never thought about becoming a city lord. After all, he only knows how to fight and knows nothing about the job of the city lord.

"City Lord..." Mark wanted to object.

But the city lord waved his hand and said: "That's it. I'm tired. You can step back."

Soon the news spread to the hunting team, and everyone was very happy, because Mark became the city lord, and the hunting team became more motivated.

Because Mark has become the city lord, it means that someone can be promoted to captain, and there will be a series of promotions, which must be very cool.

Captain Mark fought for his mission and for the lighthouse. But not everyone in the hunting team thinks so, and there are also many people who just want to be promoted and improve their own treatment.

Therefore, the news that Mark was going to be promoted to City Lord greatly stimulated everyone's nerves, and they all congratulated Mark.

Mark was helpless because he didn't know what to do. He is more interested in the secrets of the surface. Ever since he saw someone on the surface, he has been thinking about it.

He knew very well that the lighthouse could not float in the sky forever. Only when it fell to the ground would it have enough resources to improve the living standards of ordinary people. His ideal is to land. If there are people on the surface who can survive the threat of the Devouring Beast, then there will be a certain theoretical basis for landing on the lighthouse.

As long as evidence is found, there is hope for landing. So Mark was very concerned about whether there were really people on the surface, but judging from the reaction of the city lord and the others, it was obvious that they were hiding something.

What should be done to find more evidence of survivability on the surface?

Mark returned to the base and found that there were a lot fewer people in the base. The team members who usually trained here were all missing: "Where are the people?"

"Captain, they are all going to attend Donnie and Penny's lessons." said a team member in charge of adjusting the equipment.

"What course?" Mark looked confused.

"Eating lessons." The team member said.

Mark didn't understand, so he asked them where they were.

The team members pointed out the direction and Mark went.

Without any fanfare, Mark quietly came to the three-dimensional hangar and heard Donnie's voice inside. He was saying, "This is called love."

Mark sat quietly in the back and listened to his lecture.

"Love is like a deer bumping around, love is giving for others, love is..." Dulan said many expressions of love.

After listening for a short while, Mark realized that this was illegal. Isn't this the old world thought that Beacon strictly prohibited from spreading?

"Everyone stop." Mark couldn't watch his teammates continue to sink. He jumped up and asked, "Donny, what are you doing?"

"I'm in class."

"Do you want to restore family relationships in the old world? You are breaking the law!" Mark asked.

"No, you ask everyone when did I say that I would restore the old world family? Everyone knows that I, Downey, am the most honest and law-abiding person." Duran said innocently.

"Then why do you promote love?"

Dulan said: "Listen to my quibble, it's like this. Learning to love is to avoid love. Now the lighthouse doesn't teach everyone what 'love' is, but it prohibits us from falling in love. Then when we meet 'love' I don't know that this is 'love'. If I don't know 'love', I can't avoid it. Just like the word 'burn'. If you haven't been burned, how can you understand this word? How can you avoid being burned? If you just say 'To avoid being burned', then everyone doesn't know how to avoid it. Only by knowing about being burned can we avoid it. I think the same is true for love. If you don't understand love, how can you avoid love?"

Mark was dumbfounded. It seemed that this was the truth. If you don't understand love, you will not be able to avoid it when it appears.

If you want to avoid pitfalls, you must first recognize them.

But Lighthouse does not have such education. It does not teach everyone what love is. It just asks everyone to avoid falling in love. However, everyone does not know what falling in love is. By the time they really realize the problem, it is already too late.

"So when we learn love, we understand the form of love and nip it in the bud. In the process of eating, we can also further avoid love and avoid restoring the original family." Dulan said seriously: "This is a supplement to the shortcomings of the lighthouse. .”

Mark was speechless.

"Captain, you should also listen to it. Downey's lessons are very inspiring." Ran Bing was also there and suggested that the captain listen.

But Mark felt that Downey was different from before. He had been different since he came back from the surface. He stared at Downey and asked: "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to go to the infirmary to check your body?"

"Captain, you must think that I have changed. In fact, I have not changed. I have abided by the laws of the lighthouse since I can remember. I can't help but ask a question. If the laws of the lighthouse are so good, why can't we avoid love? Why can't we completely end the laws of the old world? Influence? So I not only learned the laws of the lighthouse, but also learned the knowledge of the surface and read the books brought from the surface. After that, I had an epiphany." Duran said: "I know that the method of the lighthouse is not effective at all, and I don't know how to block it at all. It’s better to be sparse. So I want to improve the lighthouse system.”

Mark was dumbfounded and felt that Donnie was more suitable to be the city lord than him: "Tell me how to avoid it."

"Emotions are like floods, and love is even more ferocious. The lighthouse built a dam in the hope of blocking the floods. But feelings surge from everyone's heart. The first person to feel love did not receive any education and was spontaneous. The earth feels love from the heart. So the dam of the lighthouse is built on the outside, but love emerges from the human body and cannot be stopped at all. So my idea is to let everyone understand love, so that when love emerges, Everyone can fight against it. It’s not about relying on the dam, but relying on everyone’s efforts.” Duran said: “This is why my blockage is worse than thinning.”

"Can you stop it yourself?"

"Some people can block it, but some people can't." Dulan said directly: "After all, those who love themselves will love others."

Mark didn't say anything, and thought of his sister, of course not his biological sister, but his adopted sister. She was the captain of the hunting team at the time, but she fell in love with the vice-captain and ended up being burned at the stake.

Love is indeed unstoppable. Once it appears, once you are deeply involved in it, it is like a moth to a flame. If you knew what love was in advance, you might be able to resist it.
