Taking this mutated sea turtle a sparring partner was only one of Gray’s purposes.
His other purpose was to observe whether these mutated creatures had gained intelligence.
During these few days of being together, coupled with the sea turtle’s current reaction, it vaguely confirmed Gray’s guess.
In that case…
Crawling on a corner of the beach, Gray raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky..
“If the mutated creatures have gained intelligence and have such tremendous power… then how much of a headache would the humans at the top of the food chain have? Is that why they chose to release nuclear weapons to destroy this island…”
While sighing, Gray didn’t feel much. After all, he wasn’t a human anymore, so he didn’t need to stand from the angle of the humans to consider the problem.
He didn’t even need to consider the comfort of the humans.
To put it bluntly, if he were to get close to the humans now, he would probably be captured and sliced up by the higher-ups. After all, non-human creatures had the intelligence of humans. This was something that the arrogant humans didn’t allow.
Therefore, from a certain extent, he was on the opposite side of most humans.
As for the two of them getting along harmoniously, this was something that did not even need to be thought about. It was impossible.
Humans were a selfish and greedy race. It was fine for them to treat their own kind, but they were extremely xenophobic. After all, they were not of the same race. Their hearts were bound to be different.
As for the current Gray, he was no longer a human. To the humans, he was truly a foreign race.
As for how humans treated other races, there were countless examples from ancient to modern times.
“If I can, I don’t want to meet another human in my entire life.”
Sighing slightly in his heart, Gray’s thoughts kept fluctuating.
The humans of today were very terrifying. Just talking about those great technological inventions…
…
However, just as Gray was pondering over how he should live in the future…
“Boom, boom, boom…”
The sound of the propeller kept reverberating in the night sky.
Accompanying it was a red aurora that was flickering like the stars, constantly interweaving in the sky.
“That is?!!”
Seeing that familiar object, Gray, who had already lain down and relaxed his body, suddenly narrowed his eyes. In an instant, his entire body tensed up.
“A human armed helicopter! The thing that I was most worried about has indeed happened…”
With a helpless sigh, which contained the emotions that Gray needed, Gray looked at the helicopter hovering in the night sky. His expression was solemn, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
However, at this moment, Gray seemed to have sensed something. His snake pupils which had been magnified to the extreme, narrowed slightly.
“So that’s how it is…”
In his astonishment, Gray found that the helicopter hovering in the sky had long been dilapidated. Coupled with the creatures detected by his heat sensing ability, everything made sense.
There were many scratches on the surface of the helicopter, as if it had been attacked by something on a large scale.
Even the flashing red warning lights on the helicopter were flickering, as if they were going to go out at any moment…
The armed helicopter seemed to be swaying, as if it was going to fall at any moment, and about to end its life as a carrier.
“This is! It can’t be…”
Gray was startled. As he had fought with mutated beasts all day long, he naturally knew what the mutated monsters behind the helicopter meant to ordinary humans.
However, to him, it was more of a surprise.
“Coo, coo…”
Suddenly, the birds chirping sound resounded through the night sky, overshadowing the sound of the propeller’s engine.
Soon after, a group of black figures suddenly swooped down from the depths of the night sky.
“Captain, these beasts are still chasing us!”
As they furiously cursed, they seemed to be venting the fear in their hearts. A few panicked voices were also emitted from the helicopter in the sky.
When they took a good look, they realized that the group of black shadows was actually formed by hundreds of mutated seagulls.
They swarmed over in a vast and mighty manner.
It was unknown how these mutated seagulls had targeted them, but they had actually attacked this helicopter in a row.
And this was not the worst part.
When they had first rushed to this island, they had also encountered a huge mutated sea eagle. In an instant, that huge mutated sea eagle had charged towards the helicopter and shot down one of the helicopters that accompanied them.
That was only the beginning. When they were crossing the sea, because of the dust in the sky, they could only choose to fly at a low altitude. However, in the depths of the blue sea, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared. It was very frightening.
Following that, a water droplet rose up and shot down another helicopter.
Along the way, they lost four of the five helicopter squads that had rushed over for investigation.
Only their helicopter was left on the verge of death. However, from the looks of it, their situation wasn’t looking good either.
“Due to the nuclear radiation, we haven’t been able to contact the headquarters for a long time. We’ve also used up most of our guns and ammunition to chase away the group of mutated seagulls. Let’s land urgently, or else we won’t be able to escape death…”
“Captain, but…”
Amidst the sudden exclamation, a soldier was shocked.
As at this moment, a scene that he couldn’t accept appeared on the island.
“Roar, roar, roar…”
The beast’s mournful roar followed closely, as if the entire island had woken up.
Those with discerning eyes could see that this lifeless island had long turned into the nest of the mutated beasts.
If they were to descend urgently at this time, they would probably…
“Eh, I didn’t expect that even nuclear weapons couldn’t deal with these monsters. What will happen to the future of mankind?”
With a bitter smile, the leader of the team shook his head helplessly.
But now was not the time to talk about this. After all, there were always more difficulties than solutions.
In the thick atmosphere filled with frustration, a soldier said.
“Sir, I’ve discovered a problem. The loud noise made by the propeller of our helicopter is the culprit.
“Wherever we go, these mutated beasts will chase us regardless of anything.
“Moreover, more importantly, it’s very difficult for our helicopter to fight these mutated birds in the air… They’re really too agile.
“On the contrary, when we reach the ground, we will have a chance of survival.”
In the continuous reports, a glint flashed across the eyes of the dejected officer.
That’s right, how could they give up in the end? Escaping to the island was their last chance of survival!
As for the mission given to them by the government, to hell with it!
