Everyone was shocked by Talon's conclusion. The group stood in silence, their faces showing a mixture of disbelief and concern.
The man before them trembled visibly, fear and exhaustion etched across his sunken features. He struggled to speak, his voice cracking with desperation.
"I... I... I'm so sorry... I was just so... hungry," the man stammered, his words halting, as if the very act of speaking drained him of the last bit of strength he had.
Zhang Mei stepped forward, her brows furrowed with concern.
She glanced at Talon before speaking. "Talon, it seems his condition is far worse than we thought. We should get him to the medical post immediately."
Talon nodded in agreement, he could see the frailty in his body.
As they carefully helped him up, Talon remembered the early days of their expedition on this mysterious island.
