With Xavier running off on his own with the vehicle, Hugo and Yolanda showed grim expressions.
"Damn it, I swear I'm going to kill him when we make it out alive." Yolanda was furious as she crushed the scanning device in her hand.
"Ready your rocket launcher, Hugo. We'll start to retreat slowly with the smoke that the blast creates." She then said, her eyes staring right at the eyes of Tenceloras.
However, when she heard no response from Hugo, she became suspicious.
Turning around slowly, she saw that even Hugo had disappeared.
The worst part wasn't just that, but the fact that both of them had run away with the mutated Hounders' corpses as well.
'Bunch of wussies!' She screamed inwardly and wished that she didn't team up with them. Alas, it was too late to regret when the Tenceloras had locked its target on her.
Yolanda gritted her teeth as she prepared for the worst. From her pocket, she took out two hand grenades and threw them toward the Tenceloras. The Tenceloras didn't react much to her action and watched as the grenades landed right beside it.
A loud explosion then occurred, but not a single scratch could be seen on the Tenceloras given its durable metal armor and powerful tentacles that protect itself.
Of course, Yolanda knew her grenade wouldn't deal much to the Tenceloars. Otherwise, those two people wouldn't have run away the first chance they got. In this world, nothing was more important than their lives.
Comrades?
Could those be enough to fill their belly? The answer was absolutely not, and they are selfish people who cared about profits.
Why would they risk their lives for others?
"Stop hiding in the back alley and assist me. The Tenceloras doesn't use its eyes to see, but the scanner from its pupil. It could scan through walls, so you aren't safe either." Yolanda suddenly shouted.
Hearing no response, Yolanda threw a pistol at the back alley and sneered coldly. "Don't think you are slick because I have long noticed you already. You're unarmed and missing an arm too. If I wanted to, then I could bait the Tenceloras to target you instead."
This time, Shi Tian was sure that his existence had long been exposed. It was just that he was deemed too weak to pose a threat to them, so they didn't bother him.
The pistol that Yolanda threw, landed perfectly right by his feet. Now that the situation had come to this, Shi Tian didn't hesitate to pick up the pistol and walked out of the back alley.
"What can I even assist you in when your two comrades have ditched you already?" Shi Tian asked emotionlessly.
Unlike her previous two comrades that have the skills and movement, he was completely untrained. In addition to that, he lost an arm as well, making his action to be quite sluggish.
"Just shut up and follow my instructions. The vehicle is stolen by that Xavier bastard and Hugo probably activated his invisible cloak to avoid detection from the scanner. Only you and I are now stranded here." Yolanda explained.
However, before she could speak further, Yolanda suddenly grabbed Shi Tian's left arm and dragged him away from their current position.
As soon as they left their previous position, a razor-sharp tentacle struck that area, creating a large crater on the ground.
"Keep running left and right occasionally while following behind me." She didn't bother explaining much and gave a brief instruction before running away.
Shi Tian wasn't going to act like some dumb kid either and stay still despite what just happened. Without even looking back, Shi Tian started running left and right, but his speed was clearly not up to standard.
Even running with his full strength, Shi Tian was unable to catch up to Yolanda. She was like the one with the wind, going faster than the greatest Olympic runner known in history.
Nevertheless, the tentacles of the Tenceloras didn't seem to care about her agility and managed to swing their tentacles near her constantly.
As for Shi Tian, the Tenceloras barely even tried their best to get him, almost as if Shi Tian was an ant, not worthy of its attention.
Of course, Shi Tian was frustrated by the situation, but what could he do?
Would he have preferred the Tenceloras to pay attention to him?
The answer was obviously no because he would definitely not survive a single hit of those razor sharps tentacles.
Unlike him, Yolanda was able to avoid the razor-sharp tentacles because of her experience and swift movement. Occasionally, she would also use her assault rifle to deflect those razor blades from cutting her.
"What a great plan. We are just playing tag." Shi Tian said as he ducked under a rusted vehicle, dodging an incoming tentacle that was swinging from his right side to the left.
Although he didn't know why he ducked, it was all based on instinct. Not to mention, he didn't have the time and leisure to ponder over anything.
"Do you see that street in front of you?" Yolanda pointed her finger in a direction and said.
"Tenceloras uses its pupil as a scanner to detect the enemies, but if we go over there with the sun blinding heavily there, it would stop its path. That's because the scanner would get injured by the sun, and that's when we'll be safe."
"Then what was the point of giving me this pistol?" Shi Tian asked while increasing his running speed.
"You still dare to ask that kind of question? The Tenceloras can detect their enemies, but they're also extremely arrogant. In its eyes, you are worse than an ant, so why haven't you begun firing at it? The weakness of the Tenceloras is its pupil." Yolanda was on the verge of smacking him for not knowing such common sense.
Alas, her slight distraction caused her to fail to notice an incoming tentacle from beneath the ground. She tried to kick backward with her left foot, but it wasn't in time as the tentacle scratched her left face slightly and the mask as well. With the mask scratched by the tentacles, it soon began to leak out air.
Yolanda's face turned ashen white when she felt the air leaking out and realized her situation had turned for the worst.
