Chapter 15
On the beach where Antoine and the girls were enjoying the ocean water, Elizabeth left them in the water and then went out to sit a little on the sand and watch them. For a few minutes, the situation was calm and everything was normal, then Elizabeth saw something in the water swimming towards her friends. They got up and shouted.
"Shark, a shark is approaching."
He did not listen to what she was saying, but Alice noticed Elizabeth jumping on the beach, but her voice did not reach them, as they were swimming deeper, away from the beach.
Alice said, "Look, is Elizabeth saying something? Or is something attacking her on the beach?"
Tina said, "Do you think those turtles are back again?"
Antoine said, "I don't think so, but in any case, you are safe here from the turtles because they are wild and will not go into the water. I will swim back and see what happens."
Tina said, “We will swim closer and you go up. I will not stay here.”
The three swimmers began to rush toward the shore, and as they approached, Elizabeth's screaming voice became clear
“Get out quickly, a shark is coming from that direction.”
Antoine came out and when he understood, he turned to look at anything she was pointing at, Alice was getting close to going up as well, but something wrapped around Tina's foot and tried to pin her down, then pulled her under the water. Alice came back and grabbed her hand and tried to pull her to the shore since Alice could stand on the sand below. The water was near the shore, and Antoine rushed while holding a knife and then lowered himself under the water until he reached Tina's feet. He found that something like seaweed was clinging to her feet, so he tried to cut the weeds. He tried to look at the roots of those weeds, but he was surprised by the face of a beautiful girl looking directly into his eyes, and that The grasses turned into hands, leaving Tina's feet, then approaching Antoine's face, who was enchanted by the girl's beauty, and his nerves became relaxed as he did not resist or try to move her hands away. Something pulled him back and pulled him to the surface of the water forcefully, so what he saw changed into the shape of an octopus. Giant with long arms.
Fortunately for Antoine, Clark, and the whole group returned in time, and Clark went down into the water to pull Antoine's body out, thinking he was drowning. Antoine remained unmoving for a while, his eyes fixed on the ocean water, but he could hear everything that was going on around him, so Marie spoke as she put on a flashlight. I took it from the lab
“Antoine, can you hear me? Damn, he was injected in more than one place in his neck and arms. I think he hears me, but he is temporarily paralyzed.”
Clark said, “That stupid doctor who was recording said that the effect of the paralysis of that aquatic hybrid lasts an hour, and you say more than one injection. How long do you think it will be like this?”
Mark said, “There is a mark on three injected areas, I think three hours.”
Clark pulled his hair back and said, "We should start a fire. The sun will be setting soon."
Raymond looked at the water after putting on those glasses that he took from the laboratory and said
“These creatures, not all of them are aquatic, those hybrids that attacked Antoine and Tina do not resemble any of the creatures we saw in
Half the score, we should have stayed there and seen the rest of the score.”
Mary said, “We only saw twenty minutes of the recording, which was reduced in time by a full hour, meaning there were still 40 minutes before the attack and the recording stopped. We did not see them. We should have returned before those creatures became active, some of which are still inside the miniature forest on the second floor.”
Clark said, “This is true, but why did you not investigate and live in the large forest? Why did you choose to stay with the absence of any barriers, as most of the security barriers were destroyed?”
While they were talking, Mark, Elizabeth, and Clark had lit a fire in the wood surrounding them, then they sat gathered around the small flame at the bottom of the stove in the middle, and Tina and Alice were putting the rest of the deer back on top of the fire and then stirring it a little by twisting the pole with the hand that Antoine had made. previously.
Alice said, “I would like to listen to what you saw, but I feel sleepy. I want to sleep a little. Please don’t say anything until I wake up and Antoine moves.”
Elizabeth said, “I will tell them about what happened before the water came down.” They looked at Tina, who had already fallen asleep. Raymond laughed and said:
“How do they sleep like this in this scary atmosphere?”
"They didn't see what we saw," Clark said.
Mary said, "I've finished eating and I also want to sleep. The sky is dark and there is no moon tonight."
Mark said, "Then we'll all talk until you wake up, and Clark and I will stay on guard."
Clark laughed and said, "Are you talking to anyone else? They all slept, even Raymond slept, and that young man's eyes did not close. Is it because he can't or because he doesn't want to sleep?"
Mark put his hand on Antoine's face closed his eyes and said, "I think he can't close them."
The four hours passed between the sounds of screams and calls for help from inside the forest, and no one cared. They understood very well that those sounds were made by some trees whose cells had been interbred into those of women and men. They died and were buried in the forest floor, and for some reason, those trees grew that could move their branches and scream in different voices and dialects. Differently, while Mark and Clark were sitting exchanging conversations about the recent past and their going out with the girls and how the streets were sparkling on New Year’s Eve, Antoine jumped to his feet and began rapidly moving his body, then he looked at Clark and spoke, but the voice that came out was a female’s voice.
“Who gave you the right to snatch my beloved from me? Did you think he had survived?”
"Damn, that hybrid is talking through Antoine," Clark said.
Marie jumped on Antoine's back and then injected him with an injection, causing him to fall to the ground unconscious. She said:
“As I expected, did you see, Clark, what are the benefits of those tubes and needles that delayed you while I was getting them and you were screaming at me to hurry out?”
Clark said, "If I had not screamed and carried you to get out of the room, those reptiles would have fed on you and me. Look at my shoes. They ate the shoes or melted them. I don't know the medical description. I apologize, but here I will move without shoes."
Antoine's voice came out while he was still asleep on his face
“Do not mourn like a woman whose husband died. I have other shoes in my bag that you can take, as we wear the same size.”
"The naughty boy is back," Mark said.
Mary said, “Not quite, she can control it. I have to go back to the laboratory while he is with me so I can inject his arm with the complete serum.”
Antoine got up and then said, “Is there anything I can do to keep you from controlling my mind?”
Mary looked at him and then said, “Why are your eyes red like that anaconda?”
Antoine said, “Perhaps it is because the substance that Mrs. Octopus put inside me was mixed with the substance that you put in, but what is interesting is that I can see what is moving behind the flames. It is enjoyable and at the same time scary.”
Mark said, "What do you see?"
Antoine said, "I see that we are surrounded by bodies of different shapes that are certainly not human, and they are also not animals. Damn, they have fangs and long nails. They stand on two legs like humans, but they have tails and they have a terrible speed of movement. They change their sizes and shapes. They fight among themselves and eat each other. There is something similar." The snake, but it has two arms. I cannot see its entire body, but what I see are things resembling worms running in its blood beneath its skin. Its head is high, hugging the sky. Look, you can see it. It is looking at us.”
Everyone raised their heads to look where Antoine pointed, but there was nothing there, just a clear sky without a moon, Antoine said after putting his hand on his head because he felt the pain.
"He says that no one can see him unless he responds, but whoever sees him without his will. This means that I am entering a degree of transformation. You will be allowed to return to the laboratory in the morning just to take the serum so that I do not transform like them, but there is no guarantee of return or exit from The island is revived, he just likes to play with his prey.”
Antoine fell unconscious again and did not wake up until the sun rose. When he woke up, Mark and Clark were asleep and Raymond and Marie were sitting guard. He sat down and said
“I won't go until I know what happened to you.”
Mary told him what the place looked like and what it was used for and told him about the recording she had returned with just an hour away
(back in time)
Youssef pointed to a group of doctors standing next to a closed and covered cage so that what was inside was not visible, but the mouth of the cage was connected to the wall of the large cage of that hybrid. The doctors began hitting the cage from the sides and an iron motor lever was pressed, and the back of the cage began to press inward to push what was inside. The cage was facing the door, which opened slowly. After a few moments, a group of men with fat bodies emerged from that cage, as if they were feeding them so that they would become prey for that hybrid.
The group of people is forced to leave that cage and is surprised to find that they are in front of a group of hybrid animals that rise and prepare to attack them. They try to disperse and look for a shelter to hide. Strangely, the animals leave them room to escape while they follow the movements of humans with their eyes, while humans can hide among the rocks, thinking that they are... They were able to escape and disappear. The hybrids begin to move and search in an organized manner, and when they find a human being, they snatch him up and cut them up among themselves, and then they move on to other prey.
Doctor Youssef said, “They are good enough to finish off any number that is in their hunting range, and now let us move to the next hybrid.” Youssef moved past several cages and did not stop at them except with a phrase:
“Those hybrids are supposed to be in an artificial hibernation period, but we will return to them in two weeks from now, perhaps the next broadcast, but for now we stop before this creativity, which, by the way, is the idea of the great doctor and well-known antiquities researcher Vladimir. We will get to know him later, but Let me explain to you about this distinctive hybrid. It is not a hybrid between animals, but it is a clone of a human female. Then the characteristics and DNA of many predatory plants were developed and combined with those clones. By the way, the original female from which the sample was taken for cloning is the wife of the most dangerous serial criminal known to the United States. The American woman, we did not harm her even though she was accused of participating in that criminal’s actions, but we only took a sample from her for cloning, and she was placed in detention on the floors below the ground until a judicial ruling on her is issued, convicting her or lenient imprisonment. I do not think she will be acquitted.”
