Vulture shrugged nonchalantly before replying, "It was Sparrow's decision. Besides, we've already checked the quality of their meat, and it seems feasible to use them as a new food source."
He paused, letting his words sink in. "It would only be believable to others if we bring back both types of animals—the mutated ones and the normal ones. With mutated animals already beginning to emerge, it would look suspicious if we only brought back the normal ones."
His explanation carried a tone of practicality, but it did little to ease the unease rippling through the group.
The Winters' men understood Vulture's point. It was true that the survivors within their base might not question much; their lives had significantly improved, and the Supply Center was well-stocked, so, their minds would be mostly at peace and would only be thinking about how to keep this peace for as long as possible.
