Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 250 Frankness

Click——click——click——

The massive steel cables plummeted downwards, and hundreds of hovercars detached from the lighthouse, surrounding the hovercar where Jingnan was, and headed towards the setting sun.

The lighthouse that had carried humanity's hopes for decades, swaying precariously in the face of the apocalypse, was abandoned.

The enormous canopy hovered about two hundred meters above the ground, like a suspended steel dandelion.

More than 10,000 people left with their luggage and equipment, which reduced the lighthouse's mass significantly. The damaged and repaired dome provided buoyancy, and the lighthouse unexpectedly did not fall, remaining quietly suspended in mid-air.

The Devouring Beasts lost their target and scattered in all directions.

No one knows how long the deserted lighthouse can last in the apocalypse. Maybe a day, maybe a year, maybe it will still be standing there when humanity reigns supreme on Earth again, or maybe it will be reduced to fragments tomorrow.

The future, the future.

"His brainwaves are becoming more active."

"She should be waking up soon."

Mark vaguely heard a familiar voice. He reached out from the depths of his consciousness, like a drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood floating on the water, and gently opened his eyes.

Against the dim background, a dazzling array of unfamiliar machinery and experimental equipment were on display.

Bai Yuekui and Bai Yuetian stood not far away.

"mark!"

Ran Bing grasped Mark's hand and said excitedly, "You're finally awake! Thank God, I knew you could pull through!"

“What’s wrong with me?” Mark asked hesitantly.

Ran Bing replied, "You were ambushed by the Devouring Beast, and your entire back was corroded away. Fortunately, there were some robot doctors who pulled you back from the brink of death!"

"I'm sorry to have worried you," Mark said with a forced smile.

He turned over and sat up, propping himself up on the bed.

He felt like a bamboo stalk, with hard bones but hollowed out inside, feeling extremely weak.

Looked up.

A face identical to his was looking at him through a glass case.

"Damn!" He sat up straight immediately.

"what is this?"

He pointed at the petri dish opposite him, his mouth agape in astonishment.

A "Mark" floated in the petri dish; most of his body was fibrotic, and the exposed muscle fibers were a deep red.

"This is your twin brother. Would you like to say hello to him?" Bai Yuekui said casually.

Mark was stunned.

He looked around and saw that there were many similar petri dishes, each containing "him" and some containing monsters that looked very much like him.

“What exactly is going on?” Mark asked Bai Yuekui.

Bai Yuekui replied, "More than twenty years ago, Gray obtained a coordinate from the Kroto system. He rushed to the coordinate point, took a child from among tens of thousands of clones on site, and named him Mark."

"Me?" Mark was a little confused.

He unconsciously looked at Ran Bing. In this room, only Ran Bing could make him trust her without reservation.

Ran Bing said in a low voice, "That's right, they have already shown me the evidence, but don't overthink it, you are unique."

Mark was a little confused, but mostly curious.

No one ever told him about his background.

Is he a clone?
Are there tens of thousands of clones like him?
Why did the old world create them?
Why would the Kloto system, which is so closely connected to the ecosystem, give the old city lord coordinates? And why would the old city lord risk finding and bringing him back, while keeping his background a secret all along?
Mark was filled with questions.

"I knew your recovery ability was abnormal," Bai Yuetian said with a grin. "If you were a normal person, the day we went up in the ring, I would have beaten the shit out of you!"

Mark's lips twitched slightly: "That's not necessarily true." "Why don't you move around a bit and see if there's anything that's bothering you?" Bai Yuetian asked.

Mark then remembered his injury.

He reached up and touched his back, feeling a chill on his fingertips.

He immediately straightened up, turned his head as far as he could, and looked at his back.

Silver-white metal covered his entire back, from his neck to his waist, completely enveloping him, and extending to his ribs on the sides.

If he had silver eyes, he would look like a android.

“I don’t feel uncomfortable, but what is this?” Mark asked hesitantly.

“Medical metal, a type of nanorobot.” Bai Yuetian described the scene at the time, “You were sprayed by the beast, and your entire back was gone, with your bones exposed. These nanorobots replaced the flesh and blood you lost.”

Mark frowned: "Will I be like this from now on?"

"Don't worry, you're not an ordinary person." Bai Yuetian smiled. "Your body is healing itself, and you'll be back to normal in about half a month."

Mark breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was already very fortunate to have survived, he still hoped to have an original body.

“What exactly is cloning?” Mark asked.

Bai Yuetian looked at Bai Yuekui.

Bai Yuekui pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Mark, looking like he was about to give a long speech.

Mark immediately realized that this matter was probably very complicated.

"It's a long story," Bai Yuekui began slowly.

“A long time ago, I was an ignorant scientist.”

Bai Yuetian rested his chin on his hand: "That's indeed a long time."

Bai Yuekui looked at Bai Yuetian expressionlessly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

In an instant, all the hairs on Bai Yuetian's body stood on end.

"Ahem, I won't interrupt anymore." He lowered his head sheepishly.

Mark said in a low voice, "Go on with my story, I'm totally confused right now."

Ran Bing sat next to Mark and silently held his hand.

Bai Yuekui took a deep breath and continued, "A long time ago, I was an ignorant scientist."

From the feud between the White family and Gray, to the birth of the cranioblast, to Nirvana cloning the cranioblast for organ trafficking, and finally to the unexpected death of the cranioblast, Gray takes Mark away from the ground.

The significance of cranial regeneration for humanity, methods to overcome ecological challenges, and its struggle with the primordial body.
I've said everything I could.

Half an hour later, Bai Yuekui, holding a thermos, said casually, "So you are the only hope for all mankind. Only you can enter the Blood Vortex and perish together with the Mana ecosystem."

"So, according to you, to end the ecosystem, we must sacrifice Mark?" Ran Bing gritted her teeth.

Bai Yuetian already knew all this.

Mark, as the main character today, was suddenly bombarded with a large amount of information, making him somewhat confused and appearing blank-faced.

Ran Bing became the person with the strongest reaction in the room.

Bai Yuekui nodded: "Unless another eco-chimera with a triple helix appears."

Mark released Ran Bing's hand.

He placed his hands on his thighs and frowned, saying, "According to you, I'm not yet an eco-chimera with the triple helix gene. After you've told me all this, will the Mana Primal still transform me into a triple helix?"

"If I were to think that transforming into a triple helix would mean certain death for the ecosystem, Mana Primal would never have transformed me into a triple helix, would it?"
