"Day after day, Boss Bai Yue Kui felt like her life couldn't get any worse!"
Because she didn't know whether the stars were against her or she had simply failed to check the almanac, but she had received two pieces of bad news in a row last night.
First: although Mark's Lingxi Seed had successfully extracted and preserved that thing called Ran Bing's life essence, Mark had nearly died for some unknown reason.
He had been resuscitated in time, but Mark had remained unconscious ever since, and no one knew when he would wake up again.
Second: the Lighthouse, which had been flying toward Dragonbone Village, had suddenly fallen—but not completely.
That should have been a good thing, since it meant the Lighthouse would no longer be flying toward Dragonbone Village.
The problem was that it had fallen in the ruins of a town more than fifty kilometers away from them. It had stopped rising, stopped moving, and was reportedly only one or two hundred meters above the ground.
That place was close to the Ecological Core Zone—in other words, it was still within the former Jiu Chuan City area.
So, unsurprisingly, the Devourers in the ruins of the surrounding cities began gathering there. And once they found a way to climb onto the Lighthouse, the more than ten thousand human survivors aboard would essentially be doomed.
In theory, whether the Lighthouse fell and whether the humans aboard died had little to do with Bai Yue Kui. Mark was already in her hands, and the people up there were no longer important.
But the problem was...
There were more than ten thousand humans aboard that Lighthouse, and it was very, very close to Dragonbone Village. Once that massive amount of life essence was seized by the Devourers, she didn't even
