“We can’t stay…”
“The monster were clearly created by them…”
“That’s right. We’re all the white mice if we keep staying around with their experimental subjects.”
The few of them naturally linked Zhao Yu to the facehuggers.
After all, Zhao Yu had previously mentioned he has thing to settle at the chemical plant.
However, when they arrived at the chemical plant, they didn’t see Zhao Yu. Instead, they were confronted by a horde of monsters.
“What do we do now?!”
“Run!”
After a brief discussion, the group felt that they couldn’t trust Zhao Yu.
Soon, the five of them quietly left the room, running in the opposite direction of the light.
“Hurry, before they notice us, let’s get further away…”
Even after they left the small town, they didn’t let their guard down and continued to run further.
At that moment, an odd-looking creature hung upside down on the trunk, looking down at them and in the direction where Zhao Yu and his team camped.
Although the creature had no eyes on its head. Instead, it relied on pheromones to locate its prey.
This was the alien that Zhao Yu and his team were planning to eliminate. After hesitating for two seconds, the creature swished its tail and pursued the direction where the five had fled.
“Blocked this way too!”
In the sewer, Zhao Yu directed his soldiers to block all entry and exit points, leaving only one way in and out. With the confined space and soil wall to cheat its pheromones, once the alien determined this is the only entrance, its advantage would be lost.
A horrifying scream echoed from afar.
“What’s going on?!”
Zhao Yu quickly realized that the alien might have attacked the five survivors in the town.
He hastily led his men towards the room where they had encountered the five previously.
When they reached the house, they found it empty. The whereabouts of the five were unknown.
At the same time, another scream sounded from outside the town.
“Did they escape to outside?!”
Zhao Yu reached the edge of the town and hesitated. The forest was the worst place to battle the aliens.
Given the alien’s agility and speed with its climbing ability, the forest was its home turf. It could kill them however it wanted.
Several figures emerged from the woods, running towards them.
“Hold your fire!”
Zhao Yu noticed that the figures weren’t moving fast like the aliens. When they came closer, as he had suspected, it was three of the five survivors.
“Help us…”
“The monster…”
The three were terrified and rushed into the crowd.
“What happened?” Zhao Yu asked in a deep voice.
“There’s a monster…”
“What about the other two?”
“They’re dead…”
Zhao Yu was speechless. He had warned them earlier not to run around and to find a sealed space to stay in, but they didn’t listen.
Zhao Yu shook his head and said, “Let’s go. 1’11 take you all to a safer place.”
He turned and headed towards the sewer entrance where they had previously set up traps.
Although the three survivors were a bit skeptical about trusting Zhao Yu and his soldiers, they felt safer with humans than with monsters and followed willingly.
The group quickly arrived at the sewer entrance, without encountering any alien attacks along the way.
This showed that the alien was intelligent, avoiding ambushes when there were too many people.
“Inside was clear. You all just stay deep inside until I take care of the alien, then you’ll be safe…”
As he spoke, he handed each of them a torch.
The three took the torches hesitantly, only entering the sewer after Zhao Yu urged them on.
Zhao Yu also proceeded down the sewer, positioning his soldiers at ambush points as per their plan.
As the three survivors went deeper into the sewer, they realized Zhao Yu and the others weren’t following them.
“Do you think they’re deceiving us?”
“What do you mean?”
“They must be the ones who brought out that ‘alien’ creature.”
“When we escaped the town earlier, we were chased by the monster, but when we walked with them just now, it didn’t appear…”
“But they seemed like they were genuinely setting up an ambush for that creature…” one of the women said hesitantly.
They quickly reached the end of the sewer, or more accurately, the end blocked off by tree trunks and mud.
“It’s blocked here…”
“It was them!”
“They must want to trap us here to feed that creature!”
Through the torchlight, they were sure that Zhao Yu and his men were just nearby the entrance and hadn’t ventured as deep as they did.
“We can’t stay here!”
The man among the three seemed terrified the most and started trying to move the obstacles blocking their path.
The two women were shocked, “What are you doing?”
“Escaping! Do you still trust them?” the man replied without looking back.
The two women exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.
One of them hesitated for a moment before joining the man in moving the obstacles.
The remaining woman was on the verge of tears.
“Don’t do this. We didn’t listen to them earlier, and two of us died when we left the town.. What if we make another mistake now?”
