It''s a well-documented fact that mutations display an extreme hostility toward humans.


    But their relentless slaughter of people isn’t solely driven by hatred.


    Humans, when unarmed and untrained, are walking sources of protein—an easy meal if you know how to hunt them.


    Even before the mutation outbreaks, there was the infamous case in India where an aging tiger hunted dozens of people.


    The reality is, human flesh is a convenient, high-calorie food source.


    The mutation we’re dealing with today likely hunts humans for practical reasons, not out of malice.

    Meanwhile, despite their dwindling numbers, humans remain the most abundant large mammal on Earth.


    If I were a giant otter, I’d hunt humans too.

    Ha Tae-hoon turned his gaze to the tablet screen.


    On one of the feeds, the massive otter was leisurely swimming, its expression calm and utterly unbothered.

    Mutant hunting isn’t my specialty.


    My team and I always prioritized monsters over mutations.@@@@
