Chapter 10, Return to the Lighthouse

Pfft

Bai Jing waved her hand at Lao Niu, her expression one of heartfelt sincerity

He then turned around with a smile and waved to the others

With the help of the Night Watch's power, shake off the terrible identity of being a solitary night dweller and return safely to the lighthouse to discuss further

Monitoring period? Xu Le remembered this term

The steam engine roared to life, and with the sound of the whistle echoing, the steam locomotive set off on the road back to the lighthouse

Xu Le clenched his fist; since he had been given a new lease on life, he should seize the opportunity to make the most of it

Wang Yueqin from the neighboring team was promoted to team leader in just two years

However, he will not prevent such destructive behavior; regarding Old Zhou's death, he always harbors some concerns in his heart

"Yes," the crowd murmured

However, Xu Le did not notice that when he gazed at the flames, he silently let out a sigh of relief

The fact that one is a time traveler is even more absurd than Old Zhou's death

Looking at the blazing flames, Xu Le felt an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart

Can Xu Le cook the books? Of course not, he is irreconcilable with evil

Upon arriving at the intersection, Xu Le saw a highly apocalyptic eight-wheeled steam war vehicle

Old Ox, do you know why you have remained an ordinary member for over twenty years while I have become the captain in just ten years

Oh. The team member named Old Cow did not dare to move any further and stood honestly in place

As for today's events, let us all treat them as if they never occurred. Regarding Xu Le's abilities, keep it all to yourselves, understood

With the protection of the Night Watchman Pioneers, one should be able to safely return to the human city, the Lighthouse

The old cow looked at Bai Jing with a sense of grievance, murmuring softly:

Xu Le ultimately is not one of them, and there is no need for that

He currently needs some space and time to digest and reflect

This person wanted to say more, but his voice grew fainter under the unwavering gaze of Bai Jing

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

Indeed, even if an incident occurs after the monitoring period has ended, the higher-ups will surely make us take the blame. These individuals who stay overnight pose too great a risk of mutation

Let us go, and by the way... take him along

When the warm sunlight falls on one, it brings a very comfortable feeling, making one feel drowsy and lazy to sleep

However, it is clear now that Bai Jing did not mean this

She did not even mention the abilities that Xu Le had just demonstrated, which was the most surprising aspect for Xu Le

The R 6 model steam tank produced by Zion, how is it? Not bad, right? However, this type of vehicle is quite expensive, and if one does not engage in falsifying accounts, it is likely unaffordable.

Did you not hear what he just said? As a lighthouse keeper, we must abide by the laws of the lighthouse, do you understand

Is there anyone among you who can distinguish ancient sounds and various pollutants solely by the naked eye

These things have not been significantly contaminated by ancient sounds, Xu Le is aware of this

Xu Le knows that in the eyes of most people, he is merely a burden, and even a potential risk akin to a hidden landmine

Um

Xu Le observed all these situations, but aside from internally commenting on the exaggerated acting of these individuals, he had nothing else to say

A countryside area adorned with some green vegetation, it is difficult to specifically describe the appearance of this place

Come up

Xu Le stood up and watched as the members of the pioneers directly threw the corpses, clothing, backpacks, and similar items together, then poured gasoline over them and set them ablaze

Is there anyone who can clearly argue with me about the Night Watchman's Rule after experiencing life and death?

As for what Bai Jing referred to as the most stringent and detailed inspection, what exactly does it entail

Old cow, do you still dare to hide

Even though Captain Bai Jing needs to rely on items to accomplish tasks, she can easily achieve them on her own

Isn't it?

Xu Le looked at the wilderness before him and said, "Lighthouse, I have arrived!"

However, the environment here is very good

As soon as Bai Jing finished speaking, one of the older team members burst out laughing

But why did she not bring it up again

As a pioneer, Lao Niu is very likely an extraordinary individual, and it is quite normal for him to have a head harder than a brick

Complaining and refuting are likely to result in being abandoned by these individuals

Bai Jing suddenly retracted the defiant demeanor she had just displayed in front of Xu Le and said in a somewhat formal tone

Bang

Another person also spoke up

The azure sky is almost devoid of any clouds, exceptionally bright

Xu Le was unclear and did not dare to ask

There are only some grasslands, some trees, and also some abandoned houses

A pair of eyes was always fixed on him

Bai Jing repeated her praise several times, but Xu Le seemed somewhat puzzled

Subsequently, Bai Jing's second brick was thrown over and struck him on the forehead

However, Bai Jing remained relentless

Therefore, upon seeing this, he hurriedly followed suit

It roughly belongs to the outskirts of a rural gathering point from a past era, and it is of the abandoned kind

From last night until now, the events he has experienced have been exceedingly urgent

At this time, the other team members also boarded the steam war vehicle one after another

Bai Jing seemed to see through Xu Le's thoughts and patted him on the shoulder

It is already a great fortune to survive in such dire circumstances

In today's lighthouse environment, claiming to be a time traveler is likely to result in being regarded as a strange person and burned at the stake

Oh

Good

The heavy armor plates, the prominent cannon barrels, and the high-hanging steam whistle and lighthouse flags

Saying this to Bai Jing, it is merely a desire to survive

Even if this ability is useful, so what

Xu Le's original intention was to showcase this ability in order to gain some recognition from Bai Jing

rumbling

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

The brick is broken, but the person is fine

Bai Jing did not hold back either; she picked up a brick from the ground and threw it at him

Moreover, he did not become overly emotional or excessively grateful to Bai Jing simply because she said a few kind words

The dialogue between Bai Jing and Old Niu seems to have become a routine for the team members, who each remain silent, waiting for Bai Jing's command

As she gazed at the car, Xu Le found it difficult to look away.

Everyone is ready to return, very well, Mr. Xu Le, you may come with us now. However, before you leave, you need to destroy those items of yours

Fortunately, this person was quick to react and dodged the brick

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

Stepping out of the cabin, Xu Le finally saw the world outside clearly

Xu Le closed his eyes and stretched lazily, taking a deep breath of the air here

Bai Jing did not provide a clear answer; she jumped into the car and reached out her hand towards Xu Le

Perhaps this is what it means to be reborn

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

Head? Are you really going to take him away? Isn't that quite troublesome? Bringing back a night watchman is not worth it at all. Just the resource checks alone would require a significant amount of manpower, and even if he passes the checks, there will still be a monitoring period. We are already short-staffed; who has the time to monitor him? If something goes wrong, we will definitely take the blame.

The members of the pioneers have begun to move forward, with only Xu Le hanging back.

Shut up

Although Xu Le demonstrated some abilities, the other team members did not pay much attention to it

He is unfamiliar with these individuals, lacks understanding of the lighthouse system, and does not have sufficient knowledge regarding the extraordinary beings.

The abilities one demonstrates should be quite evident, as one can directly observe the numerous remnants of ancient phonetics.

Contemplate how to navigate the upcoming life in another world and what actions should be taken

One should not hastily make judgments based on just a few words

Xu Le did not know how to respond; does Bai Jing's meaning count as an invitation

Talent is more important than anything else

... ...

Digest the memories and items he has acquired

Pattern, do you understand? It is already the Fourth Era, do you know what is the most important thing?

Moreover, cooking the books is a highly skilled endeavor, and this ability is essentially exclusive to the industry experts.

Bai Jing looked at Xu Le with satisfaction

If this matter is investigated by someone, he does not have a good reason to explain it
