At that time, humans were living in an
apocalyptic world ravaged by a virus.
The infected wantonly attack humans,
and many survivors fell into despair.
They could only apathetically wait for death.
But I'm different.
I'm willing to be inspired,
this allows me to feel like a living person.
Why isn't it dead yet?
Don't come any closer, don't come any closer!
A novice.
Stand aside.
Everyday, I've to save one or two novices who
overestimated themselves.
Although it's very troublesome, this is my job.
Hey.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOf course, I often face life-threatening situations in this job.
During such situations, you need to know
the way to survive an apocalypse
and that is to
Run!
Sorry for the disturbance, I'm leaving.
Wait for me, hero.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNovice, if you survive, look for me from tomorrow onwards.
Tomorrow Onwards
Human survival in a virus apocalypse - handphone game
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hRecap
It is time to let the younger ones steer the ship.
I have decided that the position of Lighthouse Master
will be succeeded by Marc.
What?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHe's just a reckless person who only knows how to fight.
How is he qualified to be humanity's final guardian?!
I'm afraid I can't assume responsibility
for such an important mission.
You are an outstanding soldier,
but you cannot be a Hunter your whole life.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou originally had a more suitable candidate for this position.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou are still brooding over what happened 15 years ago.
She was my elder sister.
Former commander of the Hunters, Hong Kou,
and soldier, Po Xiao,
publicly defied the laws of survival of the Lighthouse.
Under the law, they are sentenced to a public
execution by fire.
Marc.
Call me sister
Didn't you say not to
call you that in the future?
Don't talk nonsense.
Call me sister.
Sister.
Do you regret it?
Sister!
No matter what difficulties and challenges we have to confront,
as a community facing the same fate,
all humans should abandon prejudice and unite,
and steel ourselves for the long river of time.
Everything is flourishing
the memories awaken
Who is listening attentively?
The floating dust
finally settled
The illusions that appear
all disappear
Don't continue to be silent
Don't retreat anymore
Be as persistent as before
This world has changed
Ready to bathe in your own flame
Ready to be reduced to ashes
Human natures
Human natures are what we can only
count on

CAGE
Captain Marc, may the morning light protect you.
Abnormal ocular movement detected.
Your Light and Shadow Index is unusually high.
Please make adjustments
to maintain a stable psyche.
It is now 06:03 in the morning.
The Air Quality Index is 11.
The Lighthouse has entered a controlled region with high temperature air mass.
Flight altitude:
1900m above sea level.
Today's weather is clear from morning to night.
Apparent temperature:
11 to 24 degrees.
Captain Marc, may the morning light protect you.
May the morning light protect you.
Captain Marc, may the morning light protect you.
I heard that Captain Marc will be the next Lighthouse Master.
Really?
Captain Marc.
Captain Marc.
You.
Take a shower and go to the kitchen.
Sir, I can't cook.
I'm telling you to go to the kitchen to stew yourself,
since you'll become an ash body if you go to the ground,
why not serve as meat for us?
Don't tense your arms too much.
Get some practice for now.
Look,
Number 3 has completed 65% of his training.
The pressure capacity of the Heavy Walker's right leg has decreased.
Therefore
every design on the Heavy Walker has its function.
What's the use of this push button?
You must not simply push this.
What will happen if I push it?
Why did the hatch open?
That will happen.
From the way you newcomers train,
the Research department won't have enough Heavy Walkers for you to wreck.
This time, the battle damages were recovered in one day.
Also, the quality of this batch of newcomers is very good.
When you encounter a spinal centipede,
the only way to destroy them is to sever their main nerve.
Raise your hand if you understand.
You'll be facing extremozoans on the ground,
do you want to become ash bodies?
If you want to live a minute longer, practice for another year.
Fight to protect your sorry little lives before the Long Journey.
Why are you so hot-tempered today?
Marc, come practice with me.
Give these two idiots a demonstration.
Sir, I've given all of my service points to Corey.
If you get injured, I won't be able to afford it.
The last time, I beat the shit out of you,
then I beat you into shit.
And then I used your shit to beat you.
Did you forget that?!
What's the instructor talking about?
That was more than ten years ago.
Instructor, his injuries are not fully healed yet.
This boy is always healthy and lively
on the second day after getting injured.
Come, I'll help to loosen up your muscles and bones.
What's going on?
The instructor and captain are going to fight.
This will be a good show.
Do your best, Captain Marc.
It's best for you to take it easy,
you're old after all.
The Life Formula isn't always logical.
Boy,
today I'll teach you a final lesson.
Captain Marc.
The captain is so handsome.
Go for it, Instructor!
Go for it, Instructor!
He recovered so fast.
Wait.
Let me first do a warm-up.
Who do you think will win?
I'll bet three days of Superior meals
that the captain wins.
Do you know who taught the captain his martial arts?
I'll bet five days of Superior meals
that the instructor wins.
Great, you're starting to place bets on me.
If I win, I get half of those meals.
No problem.
Captain Marc.
You're still using this move after so many years.
Shut up.
The strongest man in the Lighthouse,
I really want to go to the Dawn Hall with him.
Which one are you referring to?
Either would be good.
Go for it, go for it! - Good one!
What happened to the instructor?
Instructor, Instructor.
Elon, sir.
Sir, how are you?
Surprise Upper Hook!
Exploitative Swift Kick!
Captain Marc is still too young.
Didn't you want to see new moves?
This move is called "Nothing is too deceptive in war".
Why not just call it a shameless move?
Five days of meals.
What's the hurry? They haven't finished fighting yet.
Good, again!
Are you exhausted?
Is this all you got?
What's the point of being well-built?
Lighthouse Master Morgan!
Forget it, Sir.
Greetings, my Lord.
The Lighthouse Master?
Where? He isn't here.
I made you look back
to make you careless.
Old Athlete's Kick!
This
M-Marc.
Sir,
now I won't believe anything else you say.
My old waist.
They're not fighting anymore?
No more fighting.
What about the result? - Exactly.
We haven't seen enough.
Then what about our bets?
This-
How should we judge this?
Judge what?
Bring my Warhorse Energy health supplements.
Alright, go back to your training.
I've to recover my strength.
Here, silly boy.
Let's go.
What's with the instructor today?
He's overly energetic.
He's been entered into the Long Journey list.
He's leaving tomorrow.
What?
What?
Not satisfied with the fight?
You want another round?
Will I still have this chance?
Look, what a beautiful sun.
I'm old.
I should go on the Long Journey.
But you're the Lighthouse's best instructor.
Yeah right, I can't even finish a fistfight.
What's the use of staying here?
I'm going to plead with the Lighthouse Master for you.
Are you going to plead for everyone going on the Long Journey?
Silly boy, grow up already.
Do you know why you were so badly beaten today?
If you were on the previous battlefield,
you would've died twice today.
But now, all we face are extremozoans.
That's right, you're pretty expert in cutting down extremozoans.
But for you,
people's hearts are perhaps more dangerous.
Have you forgotten what relationship Charles and Morgan have?
Silly boy.
You'll soon be the Lighthouse Master.
Give more thought to all matters.
Sir,
do you believe we can return to life on the ground?
In this apocalyptic age,
people always seek out hope,
but if there really was hope
would it be deemed an apocalyptic age?
But isn't the existence of the Lighthouse
our hope?
You're starting to behave like the future master now.
A battle simulator for Heavy Walkers
to perform combat drills, configured
with a VR system and dual loop drive, it
can simulate combat with known
extremozoans in a variety of different
terrains. Besides this, newly-developed
functions on Heavy Walkers will be tested
on the simulator before being used in
real battle. All sorts of data are
uploaded in real-time so during the drill,
the Heavy Walker's functions and pilots
capabilities can be assessed at the same time.
Built-in precision detectors can
accurately record the pilot's motions.
All pilots must undergo many combat
simulations to assess their precision
operating parameters. Only when they
achieve full approval can they join the
lineup of battle-ready pilots able to
handle missions on the ground.
To meet the Hunters' training requirements, the Lighthouse transformed
the armament servicing room to integrate tactical discussions, martial
arts training, Heavy Walker drills, shooting practice and physical training
into one restricted area. This place still remains as the maintenance site
for all Heavy Walkers. People from the Defense Army and the Light and
Shadow Association can be seen here sometimes.
Doctor, how's Corey's condition?
Can he recover?
Most of his life essence
was sucked out.
His cognitive ability and mental activity in his subconscious
are severely lacking.
All of his vital signs are also rapidly weakening,
especially his hemoglobin.
Its level is only a quarter of that of a normal person.
If Captain Marc hadn't given him a blood transfusion,
he would've been long dead.
You-
But his body is still very weak.
You can pray for him.
Please use the best method of treatment.
If his service points are not enough
You are wasting resources.
His contribution to the Lighthouse now and in the future
will be much lower that what it would cost to treat him.
This goes against the Life Formula, seriously.
Corey, you must make it through.
Everyone's waiting for you to return.
That's right, Captain Marc will be the new Lighthouse Master.
He specifically urged the members of the Armament Servicing Room
to always have a Heavy Walker ready for you,
regardless of when you are discharged.
Among those who previously had their life essence sucked out,
none of them made it.
And you're saving a Heavy Walker for him?
I remember that the Hunters lack a military doctor for the field.
Will you be interested?
I'll go settle his service points bill.
You all watch over him.

Children,
after the calamity,
as the remaining humans on this planet,
all of the resources that we rely on for survival are in short supply.
But the resource we lack the most is a superior-quality population.
In order to regenerate the population,
the Lighthouse enacted the law of genetic optimization.
Inside the Dawn Hall,
Superior men and women of appropriate age
are matched according to the compatibility of their genes,
in order to produce stronger
and more intelligent offspring.
All infants who are genetically tested and judged as a Superior
are sent to the Common-Son Education system when they are born
to receive the most scientific collective nurturing and integrated teachings.
In the future, they will take on key positions in the various departments of the Lighthouse,
You have just completed your duty and given birth, don't simply move around.
undertaking the glorious mission of ensuring humanity's survival.
Don't go.
Wait!
Probability of heart disease at 5%.
Probability of malignant tumors at 0.2%.
Wait!
Probability of cerebrovascular disease at 0.03%.
The quality of this infant's genes is not bad.
Don't take my baby away.
Let me have a look.
Don't cause trouble.
You just completed your duty, don't move around.
Doctor,
I promise not to go near her.
I promise I won't hold her.
I just want to see what she looks like.
I'm begging you.
Just one look.
Why must you look at her?
Why?
I
If you look at her, you'll remember her forever.
In the future, you'll not be able to
handle any matters related to her without bias.
I-
Congratulations, this child is a Superior.
Your reward of service points
will be issued in three days.
Don't go!
I don't want the service points.
Just let me have a look, let me have a look!
Don't go!
In order to complete this duty,
Don't say anymore.
I was scared and on the edge for 10 whole months,
and I almost died on the operating table!.
I've given so much.
I gave my life for her!
Can't I just have one look at her?
Superior Gia,
although you completed your duty in gene optimization,
if you violate the laws of survival,
the Lighthouse will not let you off lightly.
Get out of my way!
Calm down!
Gia,
I know you suffered a lot to complete this duty,
but you were not the only one who contributed to her birth.
It's the result of the Lighthouse's genetic matching.
She's a child of the Lighthouse.
Now the Lighthouse very urgently needs to regenerate its population,
yet for the sake of your own unreasonable request
you are taking up everyone's time.
Gia,
do you think this is right?
But I-
Your duty is completed.
This child has nothing to do with you now.
What you should think about now
is how to use your reward of service points.
You contributed a Superior to the Lighthouse,
how glorious is that.
Next week, I'll be going to the Dawn Hall as well.
I really hope I can successfully complete my duty just like you did.
Strange.
The smart decoding system should've been upgraded.
Why couldn't it unlock during that time?
Go easy on that.
Who told you to mess with Superiors' things,
now you know how to feel pain.
Guess what I brought?
Isn't it worm biscuits that have gone stale?
Look.
Do you want to oil me, sister?
I don't have any prosthetic limbs.
My decoder.
What are you doing?
It's wine.
He recovered so fast.
Having food and drink makes me happy.
Why did you hit me?
4277,
if we get caught by the disciplinary institute,
how many lashes will we get?
Don't talk nonsense.
Why did you do this?
In the recent ground mission,
everyone knows that you did well.
If the Lighthouse won't reward you, we'll reward ourselves.
Here, cheers.
Cheers.
How nice if we were not Inferiors.
What's wrong with being Inferiors?
If you take a beating, someone gives you medicine,
and there's also wine to drink.
But,
we can't just drink your wine for free.
I got you something too.
Wait.
A timepiece from the old world.
In the past, this thing
is a first-grade accessory.
As I expected of our best mechanic,
she knows all about goods.
Wait a second,
did you startle a swarm of spinal centipedes
because of this item?
Only the three of us know about this.
One more cup.
Can't you make people worry less?
Then give it back to me.
You wish.
But I heard that
in the old world
giving people clocks and watches
isn't very auspicious.
You talk too much.
This tastes so good.
Where did you get this from?
Lao Ban made arrangements for it.
When we returned to the Lighthouse this time,
it was the first time so many people cheered for me.
I was thinking,
compared with the Hunters
I only lack one thing.
The good genes of the Superiors?
Go away.
Who would value that?
Then what is it?
I lack a Heavy Walker.
Oh please.
He's forgotten the pain now that his wounds are healed.
Exactly.
Instead of Heavy Walkers,
I think you should do some physical work.
What do you all know?
You know,
after I entered the Heavy Walker
it was like I was no longer myself.
In that moment, I felt that
I could do anything
as if
as if
I've changed into a completely different person.
I'm no longer an Inferior.
I'm no longer afraid.
I'm not restricted by anything.
That experience
was truly wonderful.
Get out!
You despicable thing!
Oh crap, 3852 is in trouble.
Where are you going?
That's our teammate.
Let's go take a look.
After the calamity, Scarlet Pheromone emitted by an unknown organism
remained in the ground air, its amount is probably related to the ecological
density of the district. Low concentrations of Scarlet Pheromone in the
air will not cause hallucinations, but extended exposure to such an
environment can induce Scarlet Pheromone Syndrome, its probability is
dependent on the individual's physical immunity. The pathogenic mechanism
has not been ascertained but it seems not limited to inhalation. The
Lighthouse has never entered an ecosystem for investigative studies so
very little is known about this. All those who suffer from this syndrome
eventually become ash bodies.
Due to lack of information, the lighthouse has no effective method to
treat or protect against Scarlet Pheromone Syndrome. Anyone afflicted
by this is stripped of the right to live in the lighthouse.
All members who return to the Lighthouse from the ground will undergo
a so-called "Purification", which includes a test for Scarlet pheromone
syndrome and showers to minimize the amount of Scarlet Pheromones.
You've got a lot of guts
to steal the food of the Superiors.
So so this is what it tastes like.
So this is what it tastes like.
That food
must be really delicious.
You idiot,
shut up now.
What an animal.
Who said you could eat it?
Who said you could eat it?
Despicable thing.
Spit it out.
Who said you could eat it?
You-
What are you trying to do?
I want to live like a Superior for a bit.
I'm afraid 3852 will be severely punished.
3852,
don't eat it.
Get up.
Do you want to die?
Die?
Aren't we Inferiors
just waiting to die?
It's it's the Scarlet Pheromone Syndrome!
What?
Oh my god.
Move aside, move aside.
Those of you who are not involved, move aside.
You people from the City Defense Army are finally here.
It's them.
Capture them and take them away.
Yes sir.
Stay back.
Stay back.
Let me go.
Come near me and I'll eat you as well.
Go away.
Who said you could eat this?
Let me go.
You-
Stay back, all of you!
Calm down, calm down.
Put your guns down.
Otherwise otherwise, I'll kill him.
No one here is allowed to leave.
The Bringer of the Light is here.
Inferiors numbered 3852 and 2411,
you went over your rank and consumed the food of Superiors,
initiated violence,
resisted the law enforcers,
illegally held a gun.
Under the law, you will be whipped 16 times,
denied food, and will have to kneel for 3 days.
20 days worth of your service points will be erased.
Stop acting crazy,
surrender yourself
or you'll die.
At least before I die,
I lived like a person for a bit.
You all toil all your life,
but don't even know what bread tastes like
when you die.
You have crossed the line.
Capture him.
Stay back, stay back.
Go away!
Stay back, stay back!
Go away, stay back, stay back!
This
How could this be
You damn son of a bitch, you finally come to your senses.
Take him away, lock him up.
What else do you want to do?
Do you want to die too?
Sorry, sorry.
This Inferior's genes are so bad
that her brain doesn't work.
Go away.
He's going to die,
can't you just let him off?
Don't pull me, go away!
All right, include both of them.
Wait, wait.
Please listen to me.
Bringer of the Light,
this Inferior is about to die.
He just wanted to taste some Superior food.
Please spare him.
4068,
Inferior 4068,
under the law, attempting to obstruct law enforcement,
Inferiors
are also human.
Inferiors do not even have the right to reproduce,
they do not deserve to keep the fire burning for humanity.
Strictly speaking,
they are not considered humans.
Wait.
My Lord Bishop.
My Lord Bishop,
he's a porter who went down with the Hunters previously.
It is not appropriate for followers enlightened by the Lord
of Light and Shadow to deliver punishments,
you should carry out a purification.
Take all of them to the Disciplinary Institute
to receive baptism of Light and Shadow.
My Lord Bishop,
Lighthouse Master Morgan is still waiting for you.
All living beings are born from the light,
all living beings follow the Shadow.
When awake, I see the light and dark have changed
Days and days, people whisper and pray
While visions touch your dream
those memories will fade away
Don't be sad, glimmers still remain
There's a chance you are gonna touch the soul
Days and moons, searching for a land of hope
Sufferings will be painless
all miseries will never come
Don't be afraid, everything's the same
When the glory days are gone
only one truth can be trusted
It's time to part
Turning the whole world upside down
couldn't make me feel alive
Don't leave me, flee with me
Only you can break my fall
When awake, I see the light and dark have changed

What's the hurry? They haven't finished fighting yet.
Good, again!
Are you exhausted?
Is this all you got?
What's the point of being well-built?
Lighthouse Master Morgan!
Forget it, Sir.
Greetings, my Lord.
The Lighthouse Master?
Where? He isn't here.
I made you look back
to make you careless.
Old Athlete's Kick!
This
M-Marc.
Sir,
now I won't believe anything else you say.
My old waist.
They're not fighting anymore?
No more fighting.
What about the result? - Exactly.
We haven't seen enough.
Then what about our bets?
This-
How should we judge this?
Judge what?
Bring my Warhorse Energy health supplements.
Alright, go back to your training.
I've to recover my strength.
Here, silly boy.
Let's go.
What's with the instructor today?
He's overly energetic.
He's been entered into the Long Journey list.
He's leaving tomorrow.
What?
What?
Not satisfied with the fight?
You want another round?
Will I still have this chance?
Look, what a beautiful sun.
I'm old.
I should go on the Long Journey.
But you're the Lighthouse's best instructor.
Yeah right, I can't even finish a fistfight.
What's the use of staying here?
I'm going to plead with the Lighthouse Master for you.
Are you going to plead for everyone going on the Long Journey?
Silly boy, grow up already.
Do you know why you were so badly beaten today?
If you were on the previous battlefield,
you would've died twice today.
But now, all we face are extremozoans.
That's right, you're pretty expert in cutting down extremozoans.
But for you,
people's hearts are perhaps more dangerous.
Have you forgotten what relationship Charles and Morgan have?
Silly boy.
You'll soon be the Lighthouse Master.
Give more thought to all matters.
Sir,
do you believe we can return to life on the ground?
In this apocalyptic age,
people always seek out hope,
but if there really was hope
would it be deemed an apocalyptic age?
But isn't the existence of the Lighthouse
our hope?
You're starting to behave like the future master now.
A battle simulator for Heavy Walkers
to perform combat drills, configured
with a VR system and dual loop drive, it
can simulate combat with known
extremozoans in a variety of different
terrains. Besides this, newly-developed
functions on Heavy Walkers will be tested
on the simulator before being used in
real battle. All sorts of data are
uploaded in real-time so during the drill,
the Heavy Walker's functions and pilots
capabilities can be assessed at the same time.
Built-in precision detectors can
accurately record the pilot's motions.
All pilots must undergo many combat
simulations to assess their precision
operating parameters. Only when they
achieve full approval can they join the
lineup of battle-ready pilots able to
handle missions on the ground.
To meet the Hunters' training requirements, the Lighthouse transformed
the armament servicing room to integrate tactical discussions, martial
arts training, Heavy Walker drills, shooting practice and physical training
into one restricted area. This place still remains as the maintenance site
for all Heavy Walkers. People from the Defense Army and the Light and
Shadow Association can be seen here sometimes.
Doctor, how's Corey's condition?
Can he recover?
Most of his life essence
was sucked out.
His cognitive ability and mental activity in his subconscious
are severely lacking.
All of his vital signs are also rapidly weakening,
especially his hemoglobin.
Its level is only a quarter of that of a normal person.
If Captain Marc hadn't given him a blood transfusion,
he would've been long dead.
You-
But his body is still very weak.
You can pray for him.
Please use the best method of treatment.
If his service points are not enough
You are wasting resources.
His contribution to the Lighthouse now and in the future
will be much lower that what it would cost to treat him.
This goes against the Life Formula, seriously.
Corey, you must make it through.
Everyone's waiting for you to return.
That's right, Captain Marc will be the new Lighthouse Master.
He specifically urged the members of the Armament Servicing Room
to always have a Heavy Walker ready for you,
regardless of when you are discharged.
Among those who previously had their life essence sucked out,
none of them made it.
And you're saving a Heavy Walker for him?
I remember that the Hunters lack a military doctor for the field.
Will you be interested?
I'll go settle his service points bill.
You all watch over him.

Children,
after the calamity,
as the remaining humans on this planet,
all of the resources that we rely on for survival are in short supply.
But the resource we lack the most is a superior-quality population.
In order to regenerate the population,
the Lighthouse enacted the law of genetic optimization.
Inside the Dawn Hall,
Superior men and women of appropriate age
are matched according to the compatibility of their genes,
in order to produce stronger
and more intelligent offspring.
All infants who are genetically tested and judged as a Superior
are sent to the Common-Son Education system when they are born
to receive the most scientific collective nurturing and integrated teachings.
In the future, they will take on key positions in the various departments of the Lighthouse,
You have just completed your duty and given birth, don't simply move around.
undertaking the glorious mission of ensuring humanity's survival.
Don't go.
Wait!
Probability of heart disease at 5%.
Probability of malignant tumors at 0.2%.
Wait!
Probability of cerebrovascular disease at 0.03%.
The quality of this infant's genes is not bad.
Don't take my baby away.
Let me have a look.
Don't cause trouble.
You just completed your duty, don't move around.
Doctor,
I promise not to go near her.
I promise I won't hold her.
I just want to see what she looks like.
I'm begging you.
Just one look.
Why must you look at her?
Why?
I
If you look at her, you'll remember her forever.
In the future, you'll not be able to
handle any matters related to her without bias.
I-
Congratulations, this child is a Superior.
Your reward of service points
will be issued in three days.
Don't go!
I don't want the service points.
Just let me have a look, let me have a look!
Don't go!
In order to complete this duty,
Don't say anymore.
I was scared and on the edge for 10 whole months,
and I almost died on the operating table!.
I've given so much.
I gave my life for her!
Can't I just have one look at her?
Superior Gia,
although you completed your duty in gene optimization,
if you violate the laws of survival,
the Lighthouse will not let you off lightly.
Get out of my way!
Calm down!
Gia,
I know you suffered a lot to complete this duty,
but you were not the only one who contributed to her birth.
It's the result of the Lighthouse's genetic matching.
She's a child of the Lighthouse.
Now the Lighthouse very urgently needs to regenerate its population,
yet for the sake of your own unreasonable request
you are taking up everyone's time.
Gia,
do you think this is right?
But I-
Your duty is completed.
This child has nothing to do with you now.
What you should think about now
is how to use your reward of service points.
You contributed a Superior to the Lighthouse,
how glorious is that.
Next week, I'll be going to the Dawn Hall as well.
I really hope I can successfully complete my duty just like you did.
Strange.
The smart decoding system should've been upgraded.
Why couldn't it unlock during that time?
Go easy on that.
Who told you to mess with Superiors' things,
now you know how to feel pain.
Guess what I brought?
Isn't it worm biscuits that have gone stale?
Look.
Do you want to oil me, sister?
I don't have any prosthetic limbs.
My decoder.
What are you doing?
It's wine.
He recovered so fast.
Having food and drink makes me happy.
Why did you hit me?
4277,
if we get caught by the disciplinary institute,
how many lashes will we get?
Don't talk nonsense.
Why did you do this?
In the recent ground mission,
everyone knows that you did well.
If the Lighthouse won't reward you, we'll reward ourselves.
Here, cheers.
Cheers.
How nice if we were not Inferiors.
What's wrong with being Inferiors?
If you take a beating, someone gives you medicine,
and there's also wine to drink.
But,
we can't just drink your wine for free.
I got you something too.
Wait.
A timepiece from the old world.
In the past, this thing
is a first-grade accessory.
As I expected of our best mechanic,
she knows all about goods.
Wait a second,
did you startle a swarm of spinal centipedes
because of this item?
Only the three of us know about this.
One more cup.
Can't you make people worry less?
Then give it back to me.
You wish.
But I heard that
in the old world
giving people clocks and watches
isn't very auspicious.
You talk too much.
This tastes so good.
Where did you get this from?
Lao Ban made arrangements for it.
When we returned to the Lighthouse this time,
it was the first time so many people cheered for me.
I was thinking,
compared with the Hunters
I only lack one thing.
The good genes of the Superiors?
Go away.
Who would value that?
Then what is it?
I lack a Heavy Walker.
Oh please.
He's forgotten the pain now that his wounds are healed.
Exactly.
Instead of Heavy Walkers,
I think you should do some physical work.
What do you all know?
You know,
after I entered the Heavy Walker
it was like I was no longer myself.
In that moment, I felt that
I could do anything
as if
as if
I've changed into a completely different person.
I'm no longer an Inferior.
I'm no longer afraid.
I'm not restricted by anything.
That experience
was truly wonderful.
Get out!
You despicable thing!
Oh crap, 3852 is in trouble.
Where are you going?
That's our teammate.
Let's go take a look.
After the calamity, Scarlet Pheromone emitted by an unknown organism
remained in the ground air, its amount is probably related to the ecological
density of the district. Low concentrations of Scarlet Pheromone in the
air will not cause hallucinations, but extended exposure to such an
environment can induce Scarlet Pheromone Syndrome, its probability is
dependent on the individual's physical immunity. The pathogenic mechanism
has not been ascertained but it seems not limited to inhalation. The
Lighthouse has never entered an ecosystem for investigative studies so
very little is known about this. All those who suffer from this syndrome
eventually become ash bodies.
Due to lack of information, the lighthouse has no effective method to
treat or protect against Scarlet Pheromone Syndrome. Anyone afflicted
by this is stripped of the right to live in the lighthouse.
All members who return to the Lighthouse from the ground will undergo
a so-called "Purification", which includes a test for Scarlet pheromone
syndrome and showers to minimize the amount of Scarlet Pheromones.
You've got a lot of guts
to steal the food of the Superiors.
So so this is what it tastes like.
So this is what it tastes like.
That food
must be really delicious.
You idiot,
shut up now.
What an animal.
Who said you could eat it?
Who said you could eat it?
Despicable thing.
Spit it out.
Who said you could eat it?
You-
What are you trying to do?
I want to live like a Superior for a bit.
I'm afraid 3852 will be severely punished.
3852,
don't eat it.
Get up.
Do you want to die?
Die?
Aren't we Inferiors
just waiting to die?
It's it's the Scarlet Pheromone Syndrome!
What?
Oh my god.
Move aside, move aside.
Those of you who are not involved, move aside.
You people from the City Defense Army are finally here.
It's them.
Capture them and take them away.
Yes sir.
Stay back.
Stay back.
Let me go.
Come near me and I'll eat you as well.
Go away.
Who said you could eat this?
Let me go.
You-
Stay back, all of you!
Calm down, calm down.
Put your guns down.
Otherwise otherwise, I'll kill him.
No one here is allowed to leave.
The Bringer of the Light is here.
Inferiors numbered 3852 and 2411,
you went over your rank and consumed the food of Superiors,
initiated violence,
resisted the law enforcers,
illegally held a gun.
Under the law, you will be whipped 16 times,
denied food, and will have to kneel for 3 days.
20 days worth of your service points will be erased.
Stop acting crazy,
surrender yourself
or you'll die.
At least before I die,
I lived like a person for a bit.
You all toil all your life,
but don't even know what bread tastes like
when you die.
You have crossed the line.
Capture him.
Stay back, stay back.
Go away!
Stay back, stay back!
Go away, stay back, stay back!
This
How could this be
You damn son of a bitch, you finally come to your senses.
Take him away, lock him up.
What else do you want to do?
Do you want to die too?
Sorry, sorry.
This Inferior's genes are so bad
that her brain doesn't work.
Go away.
He's going to die,
can't you just let him off?
Don't pull me, go away!
All right, include both of them.
Wait, wait.
Please listen to me.
Bringer of the Light,
this Inferior is about to die.
He just wanted to taste some Superior food.
Please spare him.
4068,
Inferior 4068,
under the law, attempting to obstruct law enforcement,
Inferiors
are also human.
Inferiors do not even have the right to reproduce,
they do not deserve to keep the fire burning for humanity.
Strictly speaking,
they are not considered humans.
Wait.
My Lord Bishop.
My Lord Bishop,
he's a porter who went down with the Hunters previously.
It is not appropriate for followers enlightened by the Lord
of Light and Shadow to deliver punishments,
you should carry out a purification.
Take all of them to the Disciplinary Institute
to receive baptism of Light and Shadow.
My Lord Bishop,
Lighthouse Master Morgan is still waiting for you.
All living beings are born from the light,
all living beings follow the Shadow.
When awake, I see the light and dark have changed
Days and days, people whisper and pray
While visions touch your dream
those memories will fade away
Don't be sad, glimmers still remain
There's a chance you are gonna touch the soul
Days and moons, searching for a land of hope
Sufferings will be painless
all miseries will never come
Don't be afraid, everything's the same
When the glory days are gone
only one truth can be trusted
It's time to part
Turning the whole world upside down
couldn't make me feel alive
Don't leave me, flee with me
Only you can break my fall
When awake, I see the light and dark have changed
