From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

After explaining, the girl in red told the four of them her purpose: "I am now the captain of the second team of the city defense army, and I need your assistance in training the city defense army reserves."

None of the four answered.

But Miss Hong was in no hurry; she simply waited quietly.

Finally, Kun Jie asked, "When did the city defense army have a second team?"

The young woman replied, "Just yesterday."

Mo Chen was the second to speak: "Why would Charles make you the captain of the second team?"

“I have a way to cure scarlet fever, and he has to agree to it, or he’ll die.”

These words were so blunt that they left all five people, including Vatican, stunned.

Watch your words!

Vatican's clenched fists cracked.

“If you interrupt again, you can leave.” Red Girl no longer tolerated Vatican.

Fanti violently swung his arm, but no matter how unwilling he was, he could only endure it.

"Great!"

Seeing that Fanti actually swallowed his anger, Mo Chen couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, while becoming a bit more enthusiastic towards the Red Girl.

Feixue asked, "Although the city defense army is also equipped with heavy armor, they do not need to fight on the ground. Our experience is only suitable for dealing with the Devouring Beasts."

"I have full command of the city's defense forces under my jurisdiction. I think they are too weak, so I want to take them to the ground to fight the Devouring Beasts."

The girl in red succinctly stated, "The city defense forces should be guarding against the Devouring Beasts, not against our fellow humans."

"Okay, we agree!"

X4

The four exchanged a glance and immediately agreed!

# Chapter 1151 Inspiration

Mo Chen, Fei Xue, Erica, and Kun Jie exchanged glances.

in unison.

They both accepted the invitation from the girl in red.

They were unwilling to work for Charles, but that didn't mean they were willing to spend the rest of their lives in confinement, enduring old age, and then traveling far away with other elderly people...

Besides that.

The four believed that Captain Mark was still alive.

As long as we can get back to the ground, we'll definitely have a chance to find him and find a way to cure him... But if we do find Mark, whether we'll have to go back to the lighthouse in the future is still uncertain.

The best outcome the four of them could think of at the moment was to give Mark a quick death after finding him, so as to prevent him from being captured and taken back to the lighthouse for inhumane experiments.

"Alright, let's take office now."

Without wasting words, the girl in red led the four of them past Vatican.

You'd better be careful.

Ignored, Vanti suddenly reminded him, "They were teammates of the previous Hunter Commander, and they might be up to something in the shadows."

"There's no need for Lord He Guangzhe to worry about that. If something goes wrong, we can simply postpone the City Lord's regular monthly treatment by a month or two," Hong Guniang replied casually.

"you!"

Vatican City is furious.

But the red girl had already disappeared, leaving only the words "See you later" echoing in the confinement room, leaving Vatican with nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only leave in a huff.

"Can Charles really tolerate you?"

After leaving the solitary confinement room for a while, Feixue couldn't help but ask.

Hong Guniang didn't answer directly: "I've heard about your situation from others, and I roughly understand the whole story..."

Therefore, I appreciate you all quite a bit.

I was just a bit impulsive.

To hope that Charles would spare Mark, who had turned into a monster, when you know they don't get along... is incredibly naive.

Feixue choked for a moment.

Erica retorted, "Since you know how treacherous Charles is, why do you still cooperate with him? Aren't you afraid that he'll take advantage of you in the end?"

"Because I have his weakness in the hands of others."

The girl in red seemed unconcerned, as if she were giving them a hint, "You know, the wicked will always be punished by the wicked."

"Are you a bad person?"

Erica asked blankly.

"What she means is that to deal with evil people, you have to be even more evil than them," Kunjie said, revealing the true meaning behind Hong Guniang's words.

"Okay, it seems I'll have to be more direct in the future. You might not be familiar with some of the old-world sayings and proverbs."

Red Girl made a little joke.

Erica: "???"

That's how it is.

The group of five arrived at the city defense reserve training room.

"gather!"

As soon as the Red Girl gave the order, all the reserve members stopped their training and quickly assembled, separated by gender and according to rank.

Although they are reserves, their discipline is even stricter than that of the hunters, most likely because the city defense forces are mainly guarding against their fellow humans, not the Devouring Beasts.

"I'll keep it short, because you will be fighting against the Devouring Beasts in the future, and you will be able to reclaim the future of humankind's reproduction and survival!"

So I've brought in four veteran hunters who can share their experience in ground combat with you.

Mo Chen excels in close-quarters firearms combat, Erica is a heavy firepower specialist, Fei Xue has top-notch shooting skills, and Kun Jie is a veteran who is extremely familiar with all the types of Devouring Beasts currently recorded by the Lighthouse.

You must learn most of their basic abilities in a short period of time before you can follow me to the surface to fight the Devouring Beasts in actual combat.

The city defense reservists gasped, realizing that the new female instructor wasn't just talking; she genuinely intended to lead them to the ground to fight the Devouring Beasts in the future.

Someone raised their hand: "Report!"

"speak."

"Instructor, when was our first ground combat mission?"

"Two months later."

Hong Guniang said, "I will divide them into five groups based on their training performance. The top twenty people will be the first to go to the ground for combat training, while the worst group will be the last."

For a time, many reserve soldiers in the city's defense forces felt fear and wondered whether they should deliberately lower their scores in the test two months later.

Red Girl knew perfectly well that, not to mention these reserves, most of the two hundred core members of the city defense army under Sengge had never fought against the Devouring Beasts. If they were to actually face the Devouring Beasts, some of them might commit suicide because they couldn't bear the psychological pressure.

So she ordered someone to bring over a steel plate about five centimeters thick, channeled her Qi into her fist, and unleashed a punch that sent a white wave through the air.

But with a loud "bang," a large hole appeared in the center of the steel plate.

In an instant.

The entire room fell silent.

Mo Chen, Erica, Fei Xue, and Kun Jie, the four veteran hunters, were also dumbfounded.

"This is a steel plate that can stop armor-piercing bullets! If it hits a person—"

Erica snapped out of her daze and rushed forward to inspect the steel plate, confirming its material. Her face was filled with disbelief; she couldn't imagine just how much power that punch had!

"Gurgle."

The sound of swallowing saliva echoed throughout the training field.

Do you know how I did it?

Red Girl pointed her right hand at the reserve soldiers, and a faint blue Qi flame emerged—ordinary people cannot see the Qi before it is processed into power and released, but when the amount of Qi gathered in one place reaches a certain level, it will spontaneously show a color similar to blue and white.

At this time, ordinary people can also see the Qi ball with their naked eyes.

"This is Qi, which, according to the definition of the lighthouse, is the life essence that a person is born with."

"Most people don't know how to control this power and can only let the life essence participate in ordinary life activities."

"But once a child can master the method of manipulating his own life essence, even a six or seven-year-old child, even if he only has a preliminary grasp of life essence and can only use life essence to strengthen his own physical functions but cannot perform more refined operations, can still compete with an adult male who is over two meters tall and has a strong physique."

Facing the increasingly fervent gazes of the crowd, the girl in red dispersed the blue energy ball in her palm and said calmly, "Two months later, after the first ground combat exercise, I will teach the twenty people with the best results the cultivation path of controlling the life essence."

With such motivation, the passion of these city defense reserve soldiers was completely ignited. They trained and studied with even greater effort and initiative, wanting to become the first twenty people in the Lighthouse to control the life essence.

Seeing this, Miss Hong nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Mo Chen, Fei Xue, Kun Jie, and Erica, "You four don't need to rush to train them. First, go and plan a detailed training program for me to review. Afterwards, I will check your bodies one by one and personally guide you to open up your Ren and Du meridians."

The Ren and Du meridians?

The four of them didn't understand, but they could roughly guess that this was a necessary step in controlling their own life essence.

“Although you and Charles don’t get along, our captain will only be Mark,” Kunjie said suddenly to Red Girl, gritting his teeth.

"Who you truly consider the captain is none of my business. For now, just outwardly obey my orders; otherwise, it won't benefit anyone."

Red Girl didn't care at all. "Also, as hunters who often fight against the ground, you have already witnessed the darkness of human hearts, but you also know who humanity's real enemy is, right?"

Before the four could answer, the girl in red continued, "If you don't know, I'll just say it directly—"

"Mana Ecology".
