Exterior of the R-49 Starship site.

"Let's go."

"Yes, Boss."

With Xu Qingshan's order, the second team of the Hunters marched towards the ruins of the R-49 starship.

The two gravity bodies played in the front, and the team was in the middle and behind.

"If you don't use [Mind Control] to pull up the team, it's not 'one mind' after all, but it's a proper benefit to play."

Sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Xu Qingshan clearly knew the mental activities of everyone in the team.

There is one who counts one, and they are all thinking about how to paddle later.

However, this is also understandable.

After all, this group of people surrendered because they were forced to do so by force and demand, and it was impossible to expect them to help when they faced Mark.

At that time, it will be his own performance time again.

In addition to whether to grab or grab, it should be interesting to add an item.

Squinting, Xu Qingshan's thoughts began to drift out.

"What does he want to do?"

In the driver's seat, Feixue couldn't help but feel nervous when she looked at Xu Qingshan's appearance.

After a short time together, she also got to know this person a little, and she had a hunch...... It must not be a good thing. ……

Inside the R-49 Starship site.

"Captain, can't you contact the second team?"

After overseeing the packing of the substance, Mo Cheng asked Mark.

From the time the second team lost contact to the present, he could already guess that the second team was all captured at that time.

Although I don't know the specific process, I think the biggest possibility is that the other party is too strong.

To survive alone in the flooding of the Manna ecosystem, it is definitely a monster among monsters.

You know, the lighthouse hasn't received survivors on the ground for thirty years, and the Mana ecology on the surface can be imagined how terrifying it is.

"Can't be reached."

Turning his head to look at Mecheng, Mark shook his head.

Every five minutes, he would try to get in touch, but he hadn't received a single response so far.

Jeff and the others have probably been all captured, but they don't know if they were "kidnapped" by the other party and left somewhere, and they were pressed as hostages.

The "robber" should have arrived soon.

"Mark, they're back!!"

After Mark and Mo Cheng chatted for a while, Ran Bing's excited voice directly interrupted their thoughts.

Through the binoculars, she saw Jeff and their team one step ahead.

"Wait a minute, you're back? Did you see a stranger in the group?"

Looking at Ran Bing, Mark asked.

Something was wrong, according to their reasoning, Jeff at this time should be a captive.

Unless......

"There's one, sitting in the passenger seat next to Blizzard!!"

His eyes swept over the convoy through the binoculars, and Ran Bing saw Xu Qingshan in the passenger seat of the second car.

Wearing a black T-shirt, it stands out.

"Get down and be ready to fight."

Hearing Ran Bing's report, Mark decisively ordered combat preparations.

"What?"

Hearing Mark's order, Ran Bing was stunned for a moment.

But then she understood.

"I see."

The other party is a powerful robber, and of course it is impossible to communicate well while sitting in the passenger seat.

The only explanation is that the other side held the entire second team hostage.

Thinking of this, she quickly conveyed Mark's order, and all combat energy was ready for battle at any time. ……

"A team of Marks called Jeff, please come back."

Looking through the binoculars at the gravity body that Jeff was driving, Mark tried to make contact with Jeff again.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

No matter how many times he sent, the other party did not respond.

"Friend, Jeff is busy, if you have anything to say, just say it."

As soon as his face showed disappointment, Mark heard a voice from the other side.

Lazy, low and magnetic.

Not belong to any one of the second team.

In an instant, Mark realized that the other party should be the surface "robber".

"I'm Mark, I don't know what my friend is called."

Calming down, Mark asked as calmly as he could.

"Xu Qingshan."

In the passenger seat, Xu Qingshan said his name indifferently.

contacted every five minutes, and he felt that he was a little "embarrassed" if he didn't reply.

"You're supposed to be the boss of the Hunters, Mark."

Mark, the "perfect" product of ASH, contains the heritage information of "all" living things on Earth in its genes.

In the first stage of the outbreak of the Mana ecology in the Old World, it was born in a secret laboratory somewhere underground in Kukawa City, and its genes are also adapted to the Mana ecology.

The entire birth experiment was done independently by ASH Global Brain.

After the fall of the Old World, in the Year of the Lighthouse, the Kloto system "calculated" Mark's location, and made it clear that Mark would be a bridge between humans and the Mana ecosystem.

Afterwards, the lighthouse lord Morgan finds Mark and takes him to the lighthouse.

In the process of growth, it shows a strong ability to recover, has a physical fitness far beyond ordinary people, and has abnormal telomeres.

At this stage, no one knows Mark's true identity except Morgan.

At the lighthouse, it is only known that Mark is the commander of the wilderness hunters, and he is their hero every time he can be a dangerous land waiting for important living materials.

I have to say that as the protagonist of "Spirit Cage", Mark is lucky but not happy.

In the ASH Global Brain experiment, Mark is lucky to come to this world, but the world is about to come to an end.

He was fortunate enough to be the only survivor of the "Perfect" experiment, but had to witness the world alone.

He was sent to the lighthouse under ASH's arrangement, and grew up to become the commander of the Hunters that everyone admires today, but he owned and lost his "sister" in the process.

After that, Mark is still lucky, but still unhappy.

Wandering on the edge of death without dying, but the people who care will die one by one.

A tragic word with a capital letter. ……

"Well, yes."

Although he didn't know how the other party knew about himself, Mark didn't hesitate, and generously admitted his identity as the boss of the wilderness hunter.

There is no need to hide this.

Communication, pay attention to a piece of integrity.

Even if the other party is a "robber".

Moreover, it was the robbers who tied them up almost a whole team of two.

"I have good news and bad news here, Mark you want to hear that first."

Looking at Mark through his divine sense, the corner of Xu Qingshan's mouth showed an interesting smile.

"Hopefully Mark is okay."

In the driver's seat, Feixue noticed Xu Qingshan's "evil" smile.

But she couldn't do anything but "pray."

"Good news."

On the other end of the communication, Mark didn't say lightly.

"Your men have zero casualties."

"Good news indeed."

Although he knew that the other party only robbed money and did not kill people, he was not worried that it was fake.

"Huh?"

Looking at Mark, Ran Bing was a little puzzled.

In her impression, Mark is not the one who will hear the good news first.

She also thought that this time he would choose the bad news first. ap.

"Where's the bad news?"

"Most of your men are already mine."

「……」……
