Shane's body reacted automatically without hesitation. He reached out to the nails that dug deeper into the flesh and pulled them out. For some reason, his body had extraordinary strength that he had never had, but he didn't have time to be surprised. He instantly threw Frank's limp body onto his back and ran towards the other side of the place.
It was open ground, but there had to be another door beyond the group of monsters.
Beads of sweat formed on Shane's forehead as he carried the man on his back.
'Dang it, why did I have to react so fast and help someone I don't even know?' he thought as he cursed himself in his heart. It wasn't that he could have left the other person dying on the ground, but he automatically reacted to the situation as if it was ingrained deeper in his soul.
As if he would save the man on his back with his eyes closed….
This was strange. He had never been so compassionate and helpful.
Shane didn't overthink it since he was already struggling with saving his own life. A couple of monsters surrounded him as they directed their sharp paws toward him.
"F*ck! You better be thankful to me for saving your a** this time!"
Frank, who had been silently observing his surroundings for a while, spoke in a tired tone, "To your left."
Shane dodged an attack from his left as he glanced at the monster with its two legs standing in front of him. He moved to his right and ran from the gap between the monster's legs.
All of a sudden, a foul odor surrounded them as they crossed the monster. Shane's nose wrinkled, "Holy crap. What's that smell?"
"Monster's sh*t," Frank spoke without any emotions in his voice.
Acidic liquid climbed up Shane's throat, aiming to jump from his mouth in the form of vomit, but he gulped it down as he ran.
'I can't puke now! I have to run!'
"Right," Frank noticed another paw closing in on them.
Shane nodded and dodged again, but in the process, his arm was attacked. A strip of injury appeared on that area as the white sleeves tore because of the attack. He flinched and cursed under his breath, but he continued to rush.
The two continued to work together with great coordination. No one could tell they met for the first time in their lives.
Dried trees surrounded the open ground, and Shane could see a dark opening as they came closer and closer. Shane was already tired. He just wanted to dump the person he was carrying on the ground and rush away alone.
As if realizing what Shane was thinking, Frank, threatened, "If you dare put me down, I'll kill you."
"How the f*ck do you know what I was thinking?!"
"I don't know," Frank frowned.
A paw suddenly got so close that it would attack Shane's head. Frank saw this coming, so he pushed the man's head forward, causing the latter to lose his balance and fall to the ground on his face.
"The heck you're doing?!"
"Saving your life."
"Can't you do it gently?"
"Are you a girl?!"
"Don't f*cking say I'm a girl! Otherwise, I'll throw you right here!"
"Be my guest," Frank shut his mouth. He didn't even know why he was wasting his time bickering with the other man.
Shane also frowned after realizing that. He cleared his throat and said, "Let's go."
As soon as he uttered those words, he glanced in front of him only to have his body frozen in one place. It was an enclosed white room similar to the one they had woken up in, without any door. This time, the room was so short that it could only contain two people at once.
It almost felt as if the voice in his head probably knew how many people would survive this round. Shane felt a shiver down his spine as he glanced around with squinted eyes.
At the same time, he felt a tap on his shoulders. He turned back only to see Frank's terrified and pale face as he pointed toward the open ground outside the enclosed room. Shane glanced in that direction only to find his own eyes widening.
The scene outside had changed completely when they entered this room. For some reason, the monsters didn't continue to rush after the duo. One of the paws could have been inserted into this small space from the outside easily, but they didn't. Instead, the monsters turned back to rush toward the group of people still standing back on the other side of the open ground.
By the time Shane and Frank had looked at that place, the hairy monsters had already grabbed two people from the group. After that, the beast holding the two people looked at the humans in his paws, crying their eyes out. The faces of those people were pale as a string of saliva continued to drop from the corners of the monster's opened mouth.
Those two people were already injured to the point that Shane found it difficult to identify them.
Then, he heard an ear-piercing scream when the monster put the entire being into its mouth as if he were chewing chicken or something. The beast tore the whole person into two pieces. The torso was still in his hand; blood dripped down on the ground, staining it red.
Unfortunately, this wasn't the only monster that had been doing this. People ran here and there as they tried to head over to the other side of the open ground. Now that all the monsters had scattered away, they could clearly see a small, dark opening where Shane had entered. Although they couldn't see the scene inside the dark door, they knew that Shane and that blond guy had entered that place.
Now, they all regretted not listening to Shane, but it was too late.
The monsters were agile as they continued to eat one person after another. A few of them, in their bloody state, managed to come across, hitting the door, but it was shut with an invisible wall. They couldn't enter at all!
Then Shane watched another horrifying scene.
A monster came and grabbed the people hitting the invisible wall and ate them right in front of Shane and Frank.
