Grace Johnson suddenly said, “Judging by the direction she went, she probably wants to follow the previous group of injured people to the shore. So if we go in the direction she came from, could we find the lair of the aberrations?” Seeing William Scott suddenly look at her, Grace Johnson hurriedly corrected herself, a bit uncertain, “That’s just a figure of speech, because the kind of aberration you mentioned gives me a sense of group behavior, so I was wondering if they might have a communal nest… I’m just guessing…”

“No, you’re absolutely right.” William Scott nodded, while the scene of that shadow’s appearance flashed through his mind… For him, that was the greatest crisis, and the place where the shadow appeared was on the island!

To eliminate the threat, the best way is to turn the tables!

“Although the things I foresee are bound to happen, it doesn’t mean the outcome is set in stone.” William Scott gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s go this way!”

As soon as they heard they were going to look for the aberration’s lair, Chad Green and the others all looked a bit grim.

But they also knew there was no other way out now, so they suppressed their panic, carefully skirted around the corpses, and headed in the direction she had turned her back to.

…At this moment, not too far from William Scott and the others.

“Ah… I’m alive, I’m still alive!” A female college student crawled ashore and immediately broke down in tears.

Then she turned to look behind her, and David Bolton also splashed out of the water.

He was just as pale, but there was a hint of madness in his eyes: “A miracle of biology, a miracle of biology…”

“David Bolton, it’s all your fault! If you had just listened to William Scott…” The female college student was already emotionally shattered. She suddenly lunged at him and slapped David Bolton hard across the face. “Are you out of your mind?!”

But that slap actually snapped David Bolton out of it.

David Bolton suddenly looked up and grabbed the female student’s hand just as she was about to slap him again. “Didn’t you see? These are all miracles! What do you know!” He flung the female student aside, then stood up and looked toward the island, “All miracles… all miracles…” he muttered as he walked toward the interior of the island.

The female student was so frightened by David Bolton’s fanatic expression that she didn’t move until his figure disappeared. Only then did she mutter, “He’s gone mad…”

…

On the way, William Scott and the others found a few more corpses, as expected, all of them were the previously missing injured people.

Each time, William Scott would go up to check, but the results were always the same as before.

After seeing so many corpses, Chad Green and the others gradually became bolder.

After finding another corpse, Chad Green imitated William Scott’s actions and squatted down.

This time it was a woman of about thirty, wearing a swimsuit, her figure exuding a mature charm different from that of a twenty-year-old girl.

Chad Green stared at the woman’s smooth neck, thinking regretfully, What a beautiful woman, what a pity.

He looked at the dinner knife in his hand, then stabbed it into her decaying left arm.

Squelch!

Though it looked rotten, this gelatinous substance really didn’t seem like ordinary flesh and blood.

Definitely an aberration… Chad Green thought to himself.

But just then, the woman suddenly moved.

Her beautiful neck twisted sharply, and she opened her mouth to bite Chad Green.

“Ah!”

Chad Green let out a sudden scream, instinctively flinging away the knife and falling backward.

The woman only had half her body left, but it didn’t affect her movement…

She propped herself up with her remaining left hand and crawled rapidly toward Chad Green.

Chad Green regretted it deeply… He should have stayed closer to William Scott.

Now he was doomed…

“Bang!”

Chad Green’s legs trembled violently as he stared blankly at the chair leg stuck in the back of the woman’s head, then stiffly turned to look to the side.

Emily Carter was standing there, her face full of shock. After several seconds, she suddenly dropped to her knees and whispered, “I… I killed her… ah!”

At this moment, William Scott had already rushed over. As soon as he arrived, Emily Carter threw herself into his arms, while William Scott glanced at the corpse, then quickly pulled out the table leg.

This time he saw it clearly—a black line, at the moment he pulled out the table leg, swiftly burrowed into Emily Carter’s body…

Chapter 011: Bait

“It’s okay now, it’s okay…” William Scott gently patted Emily Carter’s back, and after a few words of comfort, naturally asked, “Are you hurt?”

Emily Carter, still sobbing, replied, “No, I… wuwuwu…”

“Do you feel anything different anywhere?”

Emily Carter thought for a moment, then shook her head hard, “Wuwu…”

Looks like nothing more can be learned.

But William Scott did notice some subtle differences about her… When she shook her head, she seemed much stronger, and her once pale face suddenly looked much rosier.

Of course, it could also just be from emotional agitation…

In addition, William Scott vaguely noticed that there seemed to be a blood-red line in the whites of Emily Carter’s eyes.
