It was late June, early July, when Jiang Ling returned to Donghai Station. The seven female captives she'd captured during her mission were likely still being transported. Lin Yi shared their real-time locations, and judging by their movements over the past few days, they clearly hadn't shown any resistance. According to Lin Yi, her transoceanic journey was largely on schedule, with no conflicts with other station duties. She should have completed all the training sessions, and the trainees hadn't even noticed someone was missing. In short, everything was clearly planned.
After Jiang Ling came back, he "interrogated" several possible culprits, but they all clearly showed their alibis. After going around in circles, only Lin Yi laughed it off, and no one knew what it knew.
She suspected it might be another unsolved historical case, kept secret for centuries, the truth perhaps never to be revealed until all those involved were laid to rest. After several days of logical deliberation, just as the true mastermind had judged, she gave up on further investigation and instead became captivated by the researchers' top-secret analysis of Nanzhou culture.
Top Secret Files - Nanzhou Culture:
"Nanzhou Culture", also known as the "Oceania Advanced Mutant Cultural Site", is located in a narrow area from the eastern to the northern coast of the Oceania continent, covering a total area of about 1 million square kilometers. It was born in the period of comprehensive mutation before the Fourth World War, about three years and two months ago. It is the largest mutant settlement known to mankind. Its complexity is beyond imagination, and relevant field research should be put on the agenda.
Nine sites dating back to the same period have been discovered so far, of which Site No. 7 is the most detailed, containing the remains of three deep rock caves, one underwater cave and the remains of an underground transportation network.
Initial research on samples obtained during Operation 521 revealed that this mutant settlement likely utilizes a new form of communication, but lacks its own written language or writing system. Their settlements are largely composed of postwar human structures, so it's unclear if they've formed a city. While they possess a certain division of labor, this division stems solely from differences in biological form. Therefore, we refer to them as Nanzhou Culture, rather than Nanzhou Civilization.
Nanzhou culture is a very important discovery and should be used as a reference model for future mutant settlements for research and study.
Based on information obtained through genetic sequencing and other techniques, we have determined that the mutant individuals within this culture have no strict ancestry, making them more than 90% likely artificial beings. The seven living specimens are genetically identical, and their memories are remarkably similar, making them more than 99% likely clones. Through inquiries, we learned that these specimens and their other sisters share a mother who looks similar to them, and whose mothers are also identical. The ultimate source is likely the same, though this individual currently has a survival rate of less than 10%. Combined with other data, we have reason to believe that the Nanzhou culture originated from a mutant female, resembling an ant or bee queen, who replicated herself to extend her lifespan, and that all female members of the tribe are likely her clones. For confidentiality and the safety of the human gene pool, we recommend that the living specimens be handled appropriately.
The samples obtained in the mission are of extremely high research value. The request for destruction has been rejected. The living samples will be transferred to the experimental area for isolation.
