From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

In addition, Jianjian recorded Mark's physical data before he became a monster. After Mark became a monster similar to the Devourer, was his genetic information still the same as Mark's human form?

Inconsistency is normal!

If they agree—

Does that mean Mark was originally a monster, and that he became like that simply because his recessive genes were expressed?

It's impossible!

Kun Jie and the other three were certain that this was the result of the "Spine Worm Replacing the Spine" experiment orchestrated by that madwoman Carrie!

and so!

Even if Jianjian were to determine Mark's location without any intermediary and solely based on genetic data, the location he would definitely not be Mark, who has already become a monster.

Could it be—

Kunjie thought of a possibility.

While searching for a cure for the old lord in Nirvana, he saw many sealed clones in a laboratory, all of which looked exactly like young Mark.

Could it be that Mark was one of the clones?

On the ground, there actually exists a clone similar to Mark, but the one Jianjian detected was not the Captain Mark they knew, but another Mark! It was a clone!

Upon realizing this possibility, Kun Jie hung up the communication, his eyes extremely solemn. Looking at the other five people in the carriage, including Wu Chenxi and Wu Dongxi, he took a deep breath and chose to reveal his discovery in Nirvana and the speculation he had just come up with.

"Is Mark a clone?"

Mo Chen didn't want to believe it, but Kun Jie had no reason to deceive them. So, Nirvana did indeed have many clones that looked exactly like Mark when he was a child, used for organ trafficking. On the ground, there might be a living individual with the same genetic information as Mark, but whose experience was completely different from Mark's.

"So, the individual that Jianjian detected is very likely a clone of Captain Mark?" Erica couldn't believe it.

"Perhaps, Mark himself is a clone of someone."

At this moment, Kun Jie, the oldest and most experienced veteran among the hunters, realized that Mark's identity might have been problematic from the very beginning!

Moreover, Morgan, the previous lord of the Lighthouse, almost unconditionally trusted Mark's judgment and choices, and would rather his own son Charles suffer than side with Mark.

Kun Jie had initially thought that Morgan could truly set aside familial ties, but now, considering all the strange things that had happened to Mark... Morgan's past actions of being close to and trusting Mark seemed to suggest that he was hoping to gain something from Mark.

More importantly, when a normal human is parasitized by a spinal worm, the life essence will only dissipate rapidly, and such a significant change is impossible.

Therefore, Mark's genes were problematic from the very beginning!

It is extremely compatible with the spinal worm!

But there was no response from the infirmary... Mark's genetic information was concealed from the Lighthouse from the very beginning, and was even classified as top secret!

It must have been Morgan's doing!

"Impossible! How could Captain Mark be a clone?" Erica refused to believe it.

Wu Chenxi and Wu Dongxi could not believe it either.

Captain Mark, the gentle, strong man who genuinely believed that the lives of both the upper class and the common people were unique, was actually the one who wasn't unique...

Clones!

"This is just the worst-case scenario."

Kun Jie sighed, then his eyes narrowed. "Even if Mark is a clone, he is still one of the captains I admire most."

Mo Chen, Fei Xue, and Erica immediately calmed down.

Because what Kunjie said was true.

Even if Mark's birth is not unique in the world, he is still one of their captains worthy of respect and trust.

Why is it one of them?

This is because they also learned a lot from the Red Girl, including the cultivation of Qi, the principles of being a person, and the philosophy of deep thinking, all of which benefited them greatly.

Although she had only followed her for half a year, her status in their hearts was second only to Mark!

When Sui Ying saw that Kun Jie and the others had hung up the communication, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had fooled them for the time being, and there was only one thing to do now.

Find Mark! Bring Mark back! And protect Mark, preventing Kunjie, Mochen, Feixue, and Erica from getting close to him!

This is his hope of firmly establishing himself as the commander of the Wilderness Hunters!

This was also his bargaining chip that made everyone in the Lighthouse respect him!

We absolutely cannot afford to lose!

Chapter 1206 One Day Ago - Ecological Base

After half an hour.

The hunter convoy passed through the tunnel, left the city, and officially headed towards the core area of ​​the ecosystem.

After traveling only a short distance, the people in the car were surprised to find that the plain was no longer desolate, but covered with plants, just like the grass described in old world books, but the grass leaves were dark red, and when the wind blew and the stems swayed, the whole plain seemed to be on fire.

"Slow down."

Sui Ying became alert and gave the order. Mo Chen, Fei Xue, Erica, Kun Jie and the others who were leading the way reduced their speed and carefully guarded their surroundings.

After crossing a hillside, something even more shocking appeared before our eyes.

A green meadow appeared ahead, swaying gently in the breeze, a stark contrast to the red meadow they had come from, as if they had entered another world.

"Green grass!"

Wu Chenxi stuck her head out the window, her eyes shining. "I've only ever seen green grass in books, so this is what it looks like! It's just like the new rice and wheat seeds in the rooftop farm!"

The dust people of the lighthouse were originally only allowed to do heavy physical labor and were not allowed to work on the aerial farms or ranches, in order to prevent them from stealing food or taking things.

But ever since Lu Jin uprooted the fruit trees on the farm, killed the beef cattle on the ranch, and switched to planting high-yield grains and raising poultry, forming an aerial agricultural and pastoral ecosystem, many of the residents who were originally engaged in taking care of agriculture and animal husbandry, apart from the researchers who are dedicated to studying crops, feel that they are dozens of times more tired than before.

Left with no other choice, they had to open up channels for the common people to care for crops and poultry, and formulate corresponding tasks accordingly.

Wu Chenxi and Wu Dongxi have both worked at ranches and farms, but the scale of the aerial farm is only so small. How can it compare to this vast and refreshing grassland?

Just seeing it made them feel refreshed and happy.

A short distance further ahead, a massive metal building came into view. Judging from Feixue's estimation, it was between sixty and eighty meters high and over two hundred meters long. It was entirely black and stood out starkly on the green grass.

Feixue picked up the binoculars and made a judgment: "It should be a spaceship from the old world that didn't have time to take off, and there is a man-made watchtower or something similar above it. My initial estimate is that there may be survivors from the ground gathered here."

"If there are other survivors on the ground, why don't those Devouring Beasts dare to enter this place?" Erica wondered. "Did they capture a King-level Devouring Beast?"

"Unlikely."

Kun Jie denied this possibility, saying, "In the past six months, we also accompanied Captain Red to capture live Devouring Beasts for Dr. Carrie to study, and confirmed that their cores have a special biomagnetic field connection with the Mana Flower..."

Captain Hong speculated that the distinct levels among the Devouring Beasts were likely determined by their biomagnetic fields. Therefore, theoretically, as long as the biomagnetic fields of the Devouring Beasts with extremely high ecological niches could be simulated, it wouldn't be wishful thinking for people to reclaim a portion of the land.

And the Dawn Dance—"

Wu Chenxi continued, "That's right. Ever since I completed the circulation of Qi, mastered Qi refining, and awakened my innate abilities, my cerebral cortex has undergone a transformation. My hair has become an extension of my organs for sensing the outside world, making me extremely sensitive to changes in airflow and magnetic fields..."

My master hopes that I will be able to record the biomagnetic fields of high-level Devouring Beasts in the future, and then simulate and expand them by creating corresponding equipment, thereby further expanding humanity's living space in the ecological struggle between humans and Mana.

whoosh-

As they were talking, Wu Chenxi's long braid trembled slightly, as if she sensed the change in the air, and she said, "Something's coming?"

"what?"

Before the ink stains on the car could react, a sharp arrow struck the hood of the vehicle, startling him so much that he slammed on the brakes and swerved the steering wheel, causing the car to veer to the side.

"Enemy attack!"

The entire convoy braked.

Suiyingming 8925 stayed in the car, got out by himself, and came to the front of the car. Just as he was about to check the situation, he heard a "beep beep" sound.

"There's a bomb!"

Sean, who was standing next to Suiying, was startled and immediately tackled Suiying to the ground. The others also moved away from the vehicle that had been hit by the arrows.

But the imagined explosion did not occur.

A spring popped out from one side of the arrow, and a button-sized patch on top emitted a clear but slightly serious female voice: "No entry for outside vehicles. This is private territory. If you wish to enter, please lay down your weapons and undergo inspection to prevent mana spores from contaminating the grassland and water sources and affecting the ecological environment we have already restored."

"There really are other survivors!"

Erica was slightly surprised.

Feixue had already set up her sniper rifle and said to Kunjie, "Kunjie, I've seen the people on the watchtower. There are three of them, two men and one woman. The woman is carrying a bow on her back. That's the one who shot the arrow just now."

"At such a distance... it's highly likely that the other party, like Captain Red and the others, has mastered the power to use the life essence within their bodies during their struggle against the mantle mana ecosystem," Kun Jie immediately concluded.

"You don't need to aim a gun at me."

Shattered Star's voice came again, "At this distance, I can see you fire and dodge. If you want to enter, you must lay down your weapon and submit to inspection."

at this time.

Suiying raised his head slightly and shouted towards the antenna that popped out of the arrow: "Listen up, you on the other side, I am the new commander of the Wilderness Hunters - Suiying. I have come here to find our former commander, Captain Mark."

Also, if you'd like, we'd like to take you back to the lighthouse together.

Six months ago, we received three other survivors on the ground…

What's so good about going to the lid of that big pot?

Before Suiying could finish speaking, she was interrupted by another slightly frivolous male voice.

That was a sudden, sharp sound: "Go to some grand hall to perform a complete guide to gymnastics moves? Or wait until I'm old and can't do it anymore, then abandon me to fend for myself? What will happen to my lovely Klova then..."

Snapped!

Another tall man shoved Po Kong aside, snatched the walkie-talkie, and said speechlessly, "Why waste so much time talking?"

He then spoke into the communicator: "Mark is under our protection now! Get lost if you don't want to die!"

Finally, the communicator returned to Sui Xing's hand, and he said calmly, "If you want to enter the village, you must follow the village rules. You cannot enter without disarming and being checked, or you will bear the consequences."

"How to do?"

Mo Chen, Fei Xue, Erica and the others focused their attention on Kun Jie.

"Let's retreat for now."

Before Kunjie could even speak, Suiying frowned and gave an order—whether it was the teasing and mockery of the awakened ones from Dragonbone Village, or the self-talk of Mo Chen and the others, it all gave him the feeling that they didn't take him seriously at all, which made him feel extremely unbalanced.
