Inside the medical facility, Dr. Lottie performed a full-body scan on Mark, which revealed that he had fallen into a deep coma.
Jingyuan asked, "What caused him to fall into a coma?"
Lottie looked at the scan results, also puzzled. "Lord Mark's brain and all his organs are intact, so I can't be sure what caused his coma. Perhaps..."
"Maybe what?"
"I'm just guessing randomly; there's no scientific basis for it."
“It’s alright, tell me your guess.” Jing Yuan stared at Lottie.
Lottie pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Mark's symptoms seem a bit like information overload. It's like a computing system suddenly crashing because it can't keep up..." At this point, Lottie waved her hand and said, "I'm just guessing."
Jing Yuan seemed to be deep in thought, but asked aloud, "Is his life in danger?"
"No, we can wait for him to wake up."
Jingyuan looked at Lottie and said, "Remember, you must not tell anyone about Lord Mark's coma."
"understand!"
Afterwards, Jingyuan brought Ran Bing over.
Ran Bing was very worried when she learned about Mark's condition. However, Lottie also said that Mark was not in mortal danger, he was just unconscious.
Ran Bing was finally relieved.
……
In the flight control room, Jing Yuan found Jing Nan again. This time, he wanted to discuss the search for Dragon Bone Village with her.
A map was placed in front of Jingyuan and Jingnan, marking resource collection points and ecological zones on the Australasian New World.
Looking at the map, Jingnan said, "According to you, the place that was purified is hidden in the ecological core area that we have never set foot in, but we cannot go to the ecological core area, so we cannot confirm the existence of that place."
Jingyuan asked in confusion, "Why can't we go? Isn't the lighthouse flying in the sky? We can just fly over and take a look, and if it's not good, we can leave."
"It's not as simple as you think," Jing Nan said, pointing to the map. "This continent has so many ecological core areas. Does that mean all of them have been purified?"
Jingyuan was stumped by Jingnan's rhetorical question.
Jingyuan's knowledge of the plot was very limited; he only knew that there was no ecosystem near Dragon Bone Village.
Logically, such a large area should be impossible for a lighthouse not to observe, so it could only be in the core ecological area that the lighthouse dares not go to.
However, there are many core ecological zones, and some of these zones are truly dangerous.
For example, the core area where Nirvana is located.
When Jing Yuan finally fought Bai Yuekui, a Devouring Beast the size of a mountain awakened, attracting Bai Yuekui's attention.
That guy might be a King-level Devouring Beast.
"Can't we just send the lighthouse over for a quick look?" Jingyuan asked tentatively.
"I cannot risk the lives of tens of thousands of people at the lighthouse."
Jing Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Then take the lighthouse to the edge of the core area and let me go down to investigate. If I succeed, I'll let you know."
"You're taking the Hunters down with you?"
"No, it's just me!"
Jing Nan asked in surprise, "You alone? Venturing into the core ecological area?"
Jing Yuan actually had his own thoughts. He said nonchalantly, "It's okay. Even if I encounter a mutated form, I can still survive!"
"But that's still too risky."
Jingyuan sighed, "I need to find those people on the ground quickly; maybe they know why Mark is unconscious."
"Mark is in a coma now. If you leave, aren't you worried that things will change?"
"Isn't this what you're here for?" Jingyuan looked at Jingnan. "Can you stabilize the situation at the Lighthouse?"
“Me?” Jing Nan smiled. “Don’t forget, Lord Morgan is my father, and Charles is my brother. What makes you think I’ll definitely side with you?”
“Uh…” Jing Yuan was speechless for a moment.
"Why don't you wait until Mark wakes up before you go?"
Based on that statement alone, Jingyuan believed that Jingnan would not release Charles and Morgan.
“Lord Jingnan, you and Charles are not the same kind of people. You and I are the same kind of people. For the future of humanity, you will stand on my side.”
Don't be too confident.
"Of course, I have a trump card. I can fly, and if you betray me, I have the ability to fight my way back to the Lighthouse."
"so what?"
Jingyuan looked at Jingnan, his eyes unconsciously glancing downwards.
Seeing Jingyuan's gaze, Jingnan asked somewhat angrily, "What are you looking at?"
"No!" Jing Yuan quickly changed the subject. "Lord Jingnan, could you use the Lighthouse's technology to forge some weapons for me?"
Chapter 126 Charles's Treasure Trove (Eight Updates)
Jingnan agreed to manufacture weapons for Jingyuan, so he brought Jingyuan to the research department.
Since Jingyuan was also unfamiliar with the research department's warehouse, Jingnan led people to find materials while Jingyuan rested on the side.
Jingyuan looked towards the other end of the corridor; the Institute of Ecology was located near the Research Department.
Knowing that Dr. Carrie was still researching Sharif, I decided to go to the Institute of Ecology to take a look.
Inside the Institute of Ecology.
Dr. Carrie faced two tall, strong corpses and performed both dissections and sample analysis.
Jingyuan was very curious about the gene-modified human warriors, after all, Shalif had already reached the second level.
Jingyuan was able to upgrade to the second tier by killing a large number of Devouring Beasts with the help of a cheat, but Shalifu was able to reach this level with just one potion.
How could Jingyuan not be curious?
Upon entering the ecological research institute, one is greeted by several large transparent tanks containing several corpses.
I don't know why Carrie keeps these things. Doesn't she get creeped out looking at them every day?
"You're here?" Carrie saw Jingyuan and walked over to him.
"Dr. Carrie," Jing Yuan asked directly, "What progress have you made regarding the gene serum?"
“If you have the original drug sample, I can give you the results. But how can I conduct research based on just two corpses?”
Jingyuan smiled helplessly, "I asked Fanlu, and she said there are only two doses of the medicine. Moreover, this medicine has a defect."
“The flaws are obvious.” Carrie walked to a row of computers and said, “This information doesn’t need to be obtained through interrogation.”
Carrie always sounds like she's arguing with people when she speaks.
However, Jing Yuan didn't pay much attention to it. He asked, "Dr. Carrie, is their enhancement related to the ecology?"
Carrie explained, "Their enhancement pattern is simply the crazy growth of muscle and nerve tissue, and has nothing to do with the ecology."
Carrie looked at Jingyuan and asked, "Why would you ask that? Oh, right, last time we used your sample for research, one of the things we studied was whether you have a relationship with the ecosystem."
"Then what is my connection to the ecosystem?"
“No,” Carrie replied directly. “You do not have any connection with the ecosystem, but their situation is different from yours.”
Jingyuan looked at Jiali, waiting for her answer.
"As I just said, their muscles and nerve tissue grow like crazy. Essentially, they enhance themselves by stacking cells, but you don't! Your body structure is still that of a normal person."
This news was somewhat useful to Jing Yuan, at least he knew that his second-tier strength and Shalif's second-tier strength were not the same thing.
"Dr. Carrie, I have another question. Are there any more advanced versions of these gene serums from the Old World? Is it possible for us to use these gene serums to cultivate a group of super soldiers?"
“You don’t need to think about that. The old world did have some brilliant genetic technology, but there’s been a break in it now.” Carrie looked at the two corpses. “I don’t know where Charles got the genetic serum from. He’s clever; he doesn’t use it himself, but makes his men use it.”
Looking at the corpses of Lorif and Sharif, Jingyuan said calmly, "Since we can't figure out anything, let's just cremate them!"
"Okay, I'll have someone arrange it in a bit."
Just as Jingyuan was about to leave, Jiali called him back.
"I remember that a year ago, the lighthouse flew over the old world's Zeon Kingdom."
The Zeon Kingdom of the Old World possessed advanced genetic technology and even researched bio-engineered humans.
These potions were most likely found by Charles's private hunters at the ruins of the Kingdom of Gene. If you're interested, you can look for them next time you're passing by the Kingdom of Gene.
Jing Yuan smiled; he was somewhat interested, but not very interested.
Instead of looking for gene-enhancing drugs, we should look for the cultivation methods of Dragon Bone Village.
Carrie walked up to Jingyuan and said, "I'm very interested in your superpowers. When do you have time so I can study them?"
Jing Yuan smiled, "I don't have time right now."
"Okay, I'll come find you again when you have time!"
Jing Yuan did not answer and left the Institute of Ecology directly.
