Capítulo 19: Dealing with the Aftermath
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At the thought of this, the flame of ambition in his heart grew infinitely in an instant.
However, there was no need to rush things now.
The most urgent matter at hand was still for Gray to verify the authenticity of the young girl's words.
Thinking of this, Gray threw the disheveled and sweaty blonde girl to the ground.
However, before he left...
"Roar..."
Suddenly, a low roar sounded. Gray lowered his head and extended his bloody mouth to the girl's shoulder.
"Pfft..."
It was the sound of sharp fangs piercing into flesh, leaving a small bite mark on the blonde girl's shoulder.
"Ah, no, don't eat me. I've already told you the truth!"
Seeing the steel giant lizard's sudden action, Claire let out a shrill scream. Her delicate little face was already covered in tears.
However, in the next moment, the expected pain did not enter her brain. This made Claire very surprised. She was not eaten by the giant lizard, but was still alive?
"I... didn't... die?"
With a tone full of disbelief, Claire looked at the strange spot on her shoulder in shock.
On her fair shoulder, a slightly eye-catching bite mark had been deeply imprinted on it.
"Don't make a fuss. I have left a scent that belongs to me on your body. In other words, you had better not play tricks on me to escape. No matter where you run to, I can quickly follow the scent to find you. When that time comes, you yourself should know the outcome..."
...
In his soft words, Gray had already decided the ending for this blonde girl.
This girl had been seriously contaminated by nuclear radiation. At this moment, without the help of the outside world, she probably didn't have much time left to live.
Instead of using her and killing her, it was better to leave her on this island to fend for herself.
Moreover, Gray had another idea in his mind. He needed the help of this girl named Claire to verify his inner thoughts.
As long as it was an animal, it could mutate on this island. What if the animal was replaced with a human?
What kind of wonderful discovery would there be then.
Now, this mysterious island was filled with mysterious power.
As long as it was the creatures on this island, after the nuclear explosion, the creatures that survived more or less had different levels of evolution and mutation.
If what happened next to the girl was as he had guessed, then this human girl might also have a genetic mutation.
However, all these guesses needed time to prove.
The most important thing now was to find the white-haired old man not far away and see if the girl had lied to him.
He believed that this seemingly knowledgeable old scholar should know more than he had imagined.
...
It was a sleepless night. Several hours passed in the blink of an eye. Time passed quietly until the next day.
During the night, Gray also interrogated the professor. The information that the professor revealed was roughly the same as what he knew from Claire.
However, compared to Claire's vague description in many areas, Professor Carl's knowledge was more detailed, making up for Gray's lack of knowledge in certain areas.
After a round of interrogation, Gray was quite satisfied with the results.
Of course, as an exchange for his unreserved information, Gray let him go.
Just like what happened to Claire, he and Claire were left to fend for themselves on the island.
However, before he left, gray also injected a small amount of venom into his body as a way to find his way.
The venom of the Komodo giant lizards had always been fatal, not to mention Gray, who had mutated several times.
Although Gray had injected a small amount of venom into their bodies, it was still relatively fatal to them as humans.
Just like now, the old professor, who was still lively before, was now lying on the ground like a dead dog, his whole body turning blue.
"The old man's resistance is relatively weak. I have forgotten about it. Forget it, let's leave it to fate!"
While muttering softly, Gray turned his gaze to the young girl, Claire, who was not far away. Compared to Professor Carl's terrible reaction to the poison, as a young person, Claire's condition was obviously much better. She only looked slightly dizzy.
But, forget it...
The value of these two humans had been completely exhausted by him. There was no need to bother about them anymore.
Anyway, this island was only this big. With the mark left behind, they would not be able to run away far.
As long as they were still on this island, within a radius of tens of kilometers, Gray could track them through the unique scent he had left on them.
As for now...
"It's time to start hunting."
Gray smiled in his heart as he happily took a few steps forward with his muscular short legs, heading towards the depths of the island.
However, on his way, Gray suddenly thought of something and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Returning to the center of the battlefield using the same route he had taken, he saw that the damaged helicopter was still there not far away.
"I almost forgot about this thing."
The eyes that represented his thoughts flickered continuously. Gray seemed to have thought of something and slowly opened his mouth.
"Roar."
An extremely suppressed roar could be heard. Gray spat out all the poison from the poison sac.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."
The continuous sound of metal corrosion could be heard. The entire armed helicopter was decomposing and dissolving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After all, it was just an ordinary armed helicopter. The materials used to build it were relatively light and thin. Thus the defense of the fuselage was relatively average.
This fuselage, which only looked strong on the outside, was like a thin piece of paper in front of Gray's venom. It shattered easily.
...
A military helicopter was still very precious to Gray.
Unfortunately, Gray did not know how to operate a military helicopter. Thus it would be troublesome for him to keep it.
Moreover, there might be a GPS device or something hidden in it, although the signal might be blocked by the strong radiation.
But to play safe, destruction was still the best option at the moment.
The other reason was that Gray was afraid that Claire and Professor Carl would use the broken helicopter to escape from this horrible island.
That would not be a situation Gray was happy to see.
He did not want the two humans to leave the island alive with his secrets.
