Chapter 238 The Island of Eggs
The thought of the entire istand being covered in eggs like these was horrifying.
Once they hatched, the more than 800,000 people at Aurora Base would become their prey.
A chill ran down Autumn’s spine, and cold sweat broke out across her skin.”
She was incredibly grateful she had come along and decided on a whim to inspect the island,

If she hadn’t seen this with her own eyes, she would have assumed bombarding the island was enough to eliminate the threat.
But there were far too many shark eggs for a few artillery shells to make any real difference.
Even sinking the entire island wouldn’t help.
Shark eggs were designed to survive underwater. If they fell into the ocean, they would simply hatch there instead.
The people at Aurora Base might not even have time to evacuate before the sharks surrounded them from every direction.
Autumn didn’t dare waste another second. She stuffed several high-energy compressed ration bars into her mouth, spread her arms, and got to work.
She collected everything in sight.
It didn’t matter what species the eggs belonged to, whether they were close to hatching, or whether rocks and sand were swept up with them. She could sort through everything later.
Autumn didn’t dare place any of it on the black soil. Instead, she stored it all inside the warehouse, where time stood still.
Thank goodness the warehouse had unlimited capacity. Otherwise, there was no way it could have held this many shark eggs.
Autumn raced across the island, collecting everything in her path.
The island wasn’t large, but it still covered roughly 60 acres.
Autumn was already gasping for breath, but she didn’t dare stop. She pulled out an energy drink, took a few swallows to restore her strength, then continued.
Everywhere she passed was stripped bare, with nothing left behind.
The untouched areas were still buried beneath thick layers of eggs that rose like small hills.
Beckett watched everything through his binoculars, cold sweat soaking his back.
He hadn’t expected the situation to be this serious.
If Autumn hadn’t insisted on going ashore, he couldn’t imagine what would have happened.
Once again, Beckett became convinced that Autumn was the chosen one. Following her could never be the wrong decision.
He clenched his fists and silently prayed for her, hoping everything would go smoothly.

But the moment he feared most still arrived.
One of the sharks realized its nest was being raided.
It immediately turned toward the island, ready to charge ashore and tear the thief apart.
“Shit! They’re breaking away!” someone shouted, intensifying his attack. “Hit them with everything you’ve got! Buy Autumn more time!”
Explosion after explosion echoed across the water as more shells struck the sea, churning the surface into bloody foam.
Beckett hurriedly warned Autumn through his headset. “Some of the sharks, know you’re raiding their rest. Hurry! Get back here if you can’t finish!”
“I’m fine. I can keep going!” Autumn’s voice was ragged and breathless, revealing just how hard she was pushing herself.
The uneven ground made skates useless, so she had no choice but to rely on her own two legs as she raced across every inch of the island.
Her clothes were soaked through, and sweat poured into her eyes until she could barely see.
She didn’t have time to care.
Only one thought remained in her mind: she couldn’t let these eggs hatch. She couldn’t allow them to become Aurora Base’s greatest disaster.
Whenever she became too exhausted to run, she dropped into a slide and rolled across the ground while collecting everything around her.
Once she caught her breath, she climbed back to her feet and kept running.
The seconds continued to tick by.
Most of the island had already been cleared, leaving only the southeast corner.
Just as Autumn rushed toward it, more than a dozen sharks laying eggs finally noticed her.
The grotesque sharks used their fins like legs and charged straight at her.
Normally, she could have dodged them with ease.
But she was completely exhausted.
She could barely lift her arms.
When Beckett saw what was happening, panic tore through him. He screamed into the radio, “Move! Autumn, get out of the way
The instant the shark lunged at her, Autumn vanished into the storage space.
Its vicious jaws snapped shut on empty air, and the shark slammed heavily into the ground.
Beckett shot to his feet and stared at the island, but Autumn was nowhere to be seen.
