Ling Cage: You Hurt Me, and Now You Want Me to Help You Hunt in the Wilderness?

After waking up, he finds himself transmigrated to a post-apocalyptic wasteland as Mark, test subject K04!

The current timeline is just after Mark has returned from a surface scavenging mission, and nearly everyone on the Lighthouse is cheering.

The Dust Folk are especially eager to sing his praises.

When he sees the child Dust Folk member “9027” looking at him with envy, Mark freezes, realizing where he has transmigrated.

His original self devoted half his life to the Lighthouse, only to be framed and turned into a Horrible Beast, bullied and now marked for death?

What was all that scavenging for the entire Lighthouse worth?

And this “9027” in particular: when Mark could bring back supplies, they revered him as a god. Now that he has become a Horrible Beast, they call him an animal!

“Give someone an inch and they’ll take a mile.”

Was his original self really supposed to endure such humiliation?

And then there’s Charles, the mastermind behind his misery, eating steak every day, while Mark has never even tasted steak despite risking his life to bring supplies back from the surface.

And that beast 4068!

“Damn you,” Mark muttered, lying on the supplies with his head in his hands. “You screwed me over, and now you want me to go scavenging for you?”

When the Lighthouse runs short on supplies:

Jing Nan: “Mark, take a team to the surface. The Lighthouse is running low on power. I’ll pay any price!”

The Lightbearer: “Captain Mark, by order of the Law and Faith Hall and the decree of Lord of Light and Shadow, go to the surface at once!”

The followers of Light and Shadow: “Damn Mark, why hasn’t that bastard gone to the surface yet? Does he want us to starve?”

“...”

Mark: “Sorry, I don’t feed the supplies I take to dogs.”

Ran Bing, Mo Cheng, Fei Xue, and the other trusted members of the scavenger team: “We only take orders from Captain Mark.”
