Electronically synthesized sound, evolution points, all sorts of signs were indicating one thing. Could this be?

Before Gray could think further, another cold system notification sounded by his ear.

“Ding dong, it has been detected that the host has been exposed to nuclear radiation and is on the verge of death. Begin the compulsory evolution repair, consuming 10 evolution points…”

As soon as the system notification sounded, Gray felt an unknown energy surging from within his body to his entire body.

His mind was shaken by this energy. Gray felt a sharp pain that surpassed the previous nuclear explosion’s pain corroding his entire body. It was as if countless poisonous snakes and ants were continuously gnawing at his body, and the bones and muscles in his body were emitting a crackling sound.

It was like the sound of a hundred cannons at the same time in the human language..

However, something even more terrifying was happening.

Under the help of the system’s power and the power of the island location, the body that had been burnt by the explosion started to produce new flesh buds.

Moreover, what was even more terrifying was that his body continued to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yes, you’re right, it was expanding non-stop!

While Gray was in a daze, his body actually underwent a very shocking change in front of the puddle.

This kind of unnatural scientific change was enough to make Gray, who was previously a human, tremble in fear.

An unimaginable vitality revived his entire body, and the entire lizard Gray seemed to have been reborn.

Gray, who had completed his evolution, felt that his brain was continuously trembling with joy. That feeling was better than doing anything else. His brain’s dopamine had reached its peak.

“Roar!”

A sudden roar reverberated in this lifeless world. The one who had let out the roar was a ferocious four-meter-long lizard. It stepped on the ground and continuously let out a roar that no other lizard on Earth could make.

“Is this the feeling of evolution? It’s indeed delightful!” Gray exclaimed.

…

In the blink of an eye, night fell quietly.

An extraordinary strong Komodo dragon had arrived at a lake polluted by nuclear radiation.

Although it was a lake, it had long been buried by the dust caused by the explosion.

However, through Gray’s unremitting efforts, he finally found a corner that was exposed more than five meters away.

It wasn’t that Gray was thirsty, but he wanted to see what how he actually looked like after his evolution.

Finally arriving at the lakeside, Gray slowly lowered his head and looked at the corner that was exposed.

What greeted his eyes was a ferocious and huge lizard.

The dark brown horny skin seemed to be the result of a new life, giving off a cold texture. It had a tail that was as long as its body, and a ferocious big mouth with dozens of serrated sharp teeth.

As for the body, it didn’t look like an ordinary Komodo dragon. The current Gray was more like a new species.

Gray looked at himself in the water, his whole body exuding a fierce aura.

It was a little scary. Gray didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he clearly felt that after his evolution, he was obviously different from other Komodo dragons!

Especially that pair of soul-stirring and awe-inspiring eyes. It was impossible for a lizard to have those eyes. It was more like some kind of…

A moment of speculation, like a seed, planted in Gray’s heart. For a moment, Gray was silent. He let go of those imaginary speculations in his mind. Instead of thinking about those nonsensical speculations, it was better to think about how he could live better in the future.

The most important thing now was to adapt to this new lizard body and identify the geographical environment he was in.

…

“I must have turned into a lizard. The world I’m in now is very likely the same world as the Blue Planet previously. Or rather, to be more precise, it’s actually like the same world.”

Murmurs after murmurs, what came out were indeed the roars of the monsters. Gray’s face revealed a hint of affirmation.

The reason why he could come to such a conclusion so quickly was because he saw the billboard not far away.

He slowly raised his eyes and looked at a billboard not far away that had been shattered due to the shockwave of the explosion. The words written on it caused Gray’s snake pupils to shrink slightly. They were the words of the Blue Planet of the United States in his previous life.

“The Komodo giant lizard is the largest lizard known to exist on Earth…”

The introductory words revealed an obvious fact. He might be in a tourist park in Indonesia, a scenic spot where the Komodo giant lizard lived.

“Phew…”

Gray exhaled deeply and raised his head to look at the dusty sky and the scorched earth.

A guess appeared in Gray’s mind.

Could this place really be on an unknown island in Indonesia?

Moreover, the seemingly end of the sea from afar, had further confirmed Gray’s guess.

“So, something uncontrollable happened on this island. Why would such an island be razed to the ground by the United State?”

“And…”

After a moment of silence, Gray looked towards the center of the island. There were carcasses of animals everywhere and an unfathomable pitch-black hole.

To confirm his guess, Gray used his mouth to pick up a rock and threw it in. This huge hole that was hundreds of meters in diameter was bottomless.

As for the surroundings of the huge hole, it was more like it had been vaporized.

It was hard to imagine, and even unable to imagine, that a small island of dozens of kilometers would be razed to the ground. Even all the living things on the island were wiped out.

Only the carcasses of animals that were pitch black… as well as the remaining wild beasts that were on the edge of the nuclear explosion let out desperate roars.

Perhaps this was what the Apocalypse was talking about.

“This isn’t natural. It should be done by humans.”

For some reason, Gray vaguely confirmed this idea.

Putting aside the possibility of a meteorite hitting the ground, other than human technology, nothing else could do such a thing.

However, at this moment, it didn’t seem like it was the time to make a hasty judgment,

There was no further information that could provide him with ideas. Moreover, the most important thing right now was to fill his stomach.
