Looking up, countless runes began to shatter one after another like dominoes falling, and then he vaguely saw a massive warship descending from high above. The place where it was landing wasn’t far from him at all—it was right on the path he would take to where the prehistoric starry sky behemoth had appeared. This made Kevin Walker unable to contain his wild joy.

“Ah…” Happiness always comes so suddenly. Kevin Walker couldn’t help but throw his head back and roar to the sky. This was his full-force roar. In the distance, it seemed that a prehistoric beast, feeling challenged, also let out a roar in response. Usually, when bored, Kevin Walker would lure it to the territory of another level-eight or higher prehistoric beast, but now he couldn’t be bothered.

After the excitement passed, Kevin Walker immediately realized a problem: with Mars’s current size and situation, and with no way to contact the military, who knew how long it would take for them to find him? The last time, the cleanup operation after the prehistoric beast tide had lasted for years. Thinking of this, Kevin Walker confirmed his direction and immediately rushed toward the warship’s landing site.

This area was extremely familiar to Kevin Walker. Now, unless it was a beast king like the Four-horned Azure Ox, the Ice Serpent, or the Dire Wolf pack, which ruled over a thousand miles, Kevin Walker didn’t need to pay any attention to the others at all.

In fact, some prehistoric beasts and even minor beast kings within several hundred miles, upon seeing Kevin Walker, would immediately run away. The weaker ones would simply tremble and prostrate themselves, not daring to move.

Over the past year, although Kevin Walker couldn’t compare to terrifying existences like the Little Kui Ox, Suan Ni, Feilian, or the Fire Monkey—those who dominated thousands of miles—his status within these several hundred miles was truly no less than that of the Four-horned Azure Ox or the Ice Serpent.

“Quick, set up defenses immediately, clear out the surrounding prehistoric beasts, lock onto nearby beast kings for hunting and capture…”

Around the warship, more than a dozen flying combat aircraft were circling, and below, defenses were being rapidly set up. Their speed was extremely fast, but Kevin Walker was even faster and more stealthy. Just as they established the second layer of their outer perimeter, Kevin Walker had already slipped into the inner area.

From a distance, he could already see a young female officer disembarking from the massive warship, with everyone seemingly reporting to her.

After more than a year, seeing living people again made Kevin Walker feel an intense sense of closeness. But just as he was about to rush out, Kevin Walker suddenly stopped in his tracks, his open mouth making no sound.

The law of survival in the prehistoric wilderness had long since changed Kevin Walker, who was once just a student. He hadn’t realized it just now, but he had actually slipped right through their not-yet-complete second line of defense, and if he revealed himself before the first line even noticed him, how would he explain that?

How could he explain what had happened to him, how could he explain everything that had happened over the past year? Kevin Walker was now used to protecting himself first, not exposing himself, and always keeping a trump card in reserve.

Thinking of this, Kevin Walker quietly retreated…

“Report, an unmanned reconnaissance drone has spotted someone being chased by a saber-toothed tiger a hundred and sixty miles away…”

Half an hour later, someone reported to Emily Thompson, who was preparing to leave the warship and personally lead a team out.

Chapter 11: Carefully Hiding Oneself, Returning to Earth

“Someone?” Upon hearing there was someone, Emily Thompson, who had already changed out of her military uniform, had a cold glint flash in her eyes. She couldn’t help but look up and say, “Whose people are they? How could they possibly know the exact location? If it’s not a warship, how could they land before the magnetic storm has fully cleared?”

Even for Emily Thompson, entering first this time was a risk. The warship had suffered significant damage, but for the sake of that thing, she had to take the gamble.

“Reporting, ma’am, no… it’s a wild man. We’ve already brought him over…” The reporting soldier couldn’t explain clearly and could only bring the person over as quickly as possible.

“Who are you?” When Emily Thompson looked at the man her subordinates had brought, he was wearing animal skins on his upper body, and beneath the animal skins on his lower body were pants so tattered they were barely recognizable. On his back was a backpack, patched countless times with animal hide, and in his hand he held a military dagger.

Naturally, the one discovered was Kevin Walker. At this moment, there were several fresh claw marks on his sturdy chest, and he looked rather battered. Now, seeing Emily Thompson and the warship, he was even more excited.

Kevin Walker could hardly contain his excitement and gratitude. He pressed his hands together in thanks, repeatedly saying, “Thank you, thank you for saving me! Oh my god, I’m finally saved. If you hadn’t come to rescue me, I really wouldn’t have survived…”

Emily Thompson was also quite surprised. She hadn’t expected that upon entering Mars, she would actually encounter a living person.

Emily Thompson kept sizing up Kevin Walker. He was half a head taller than her, his body looked extremely strong, and he was covered in scars. Judging by his excitement and gratitude, it didn’t seem like he was faking it. He definitely wasn’t someone who had just arrived.

Without Emily Thompson needing to instruct them, as soon as someone inquired about Kevin Walker’s information, all his data was quickly pulled up. He turned out to be a high school graduate from that previous tour group.

Emily Thompson glanced in the direction where her subordinates had just rescued Kevin Walker, then looked toward where the prehistoric starry sky behemoth had appeared. The distance was very close. How had he survived under the tide of prehistoric beasts…
