Chapter 1381: 648 Terrifying (Must Watch Conversation)_3 Chapter 1381: 648 Terrifying (Must Watch Conversation)_3 Aubree Groove stood up, “Stay here and watch your brother for me.

I’m going out for a little while.

There’s food in the room, help yourself if you’re hungry.

The bathroom is over there, feel free to go there if you need.”

As she spoke, she demonstrated how to use the bathroom and how to flush it, then left the room.

Upon hearing that the little girl had opened the iron mesh and entered the tribe of the natives, Victor chuckled coldly, “She really isn’t afraid of dying.”

“She took a dying little boy back with her.

But her ship is very tightly guarded, our men couldn’t get any information.” His subordinate reported.

...

The failure of last night made Victor feel that he had underestimated this girl.

Today, his four generals returned in failure, which greatly angered him.

“Useless, all of you are useless.

You can’t even handle a little girl.

What use are you to me?”

Victor thought that the man was lying outright.

How could a young girl possibly be as formidable as he described?

Victor would rather believe that the people around her were powerful.

These useless men were probably just afraid of him blaming them and were trying to shirk responsibility.

The man on his knees was terrified of his superior’s rebuke.

No matter how many times he tried to explain, his boss simply wouldn’t believe him.

He felt extremely wronged.

The man felt an itch on his body and couldn’t resist scratching it.

Victor’s annoyance intensified at the sight and he kicked the man.

“Nevermind, a little girl can’t discover the secret here.

Let’s wait and see.

The real issue right now is Delan Sparrow, this man cannot be allowed to stay any longer.”

He was considering a foolproof plan to get rid of this man.

Just then, a subordinate came to report that the girl had once again entered the native’s territory alone.

Victor sneered, “She really sees herself as a saviour, she truly has the air of an aloof and unfettered mistress.”

This kind of over zealous mistress, who was simply naïve to the ways of the world, was not worth worrying over.

It was a surprise that he had actually thought that the Rintos had sent a powerful player.

He immediately put her out of his mind, and started to devise a plan to deal with Delan Sparrow.

Aubree turned around and frowned at the person following her, “Go back.”

The young man’s neck hung with a DSLR camera, “If you are not afraid, why should I be?

I think this is great material.

These hardships shouldn’t remain unknown.”

Aubree then stopped trying to persuade him.

Everyone has their own choices.

She could offer warnings, but she had no right to dissuade.

Aubree brought a large quantity of boiled herbal medicine and distributed it to the people there.

They had all been confined for a long time but weren’t stupid.

They somewhat understood that she was here to rescue them and obediently took the medicine.

“Did you find anything strange here?” Aubree asked.

Nicholas Drake responded, “Yes, it’s quite strange.

There are only the elderly, women, and children here.

There are no young adults.”

This was not normal, unless those young adults had been deliberately taken away.

For what purpose could those young adults have been transported away?

Young men are the primary workforce.

The only explanation was that they had been taken to be used as cheap labor.

“Ever since I first set foot on this island, something felt unusual.

Perhaps a huge conspiracy is hidden on this island.

The suffering of these people is not divine punishment but a man-made disaster.”

Nicholas Drake pondered for a moment and said, “I’ve conducted an experiment and found a kind of toxin in the soil.

Unfortunately, I lack laboratory equipment here, otherwise I could identify exactly what this toxin is.

However, I suspect that the disease plaguing these people might be caused by this toxin.”

They looked at each other and spoke in unison, “Radiation.”

Unfortunately, they couldn’t identify the specific elements causing this radiation at the moment.

“Based on my observations, the radiation is very mild here.

It mutates into a new type of virus once it encounters the human immune system.

This virus might not be inherently contagious, but people living on this land can’t escape it.”

Aubree shook her head, walked over to an old person who was losing awareness, not sure whether to take the medicine in her hand.

Aubree crouched down and used a spoon to feed the medicine to her one spoonful at a time.

Her demeanor was so gentle and harmless that the old woman obediently opened her mouth to take in the medicine.

Some of it trickled down her chin, soaking the front of her clothes, leaving twisted streaks on her dark skin.

Aubree took a paper towel and slowly wiped up the medicine stains on the old woman’s body.

She just smiled and shook her head, “You need to swallow it to get better.”
