Danger. It was the worst scenario he could imagine. He trusted Lily to be able to escape the monster. But he was supposed to be the bait.
'What can I do?'
The light flickered off, giving him time to think. The creature was now standing in front of the fork. Based on its movement, it seemed like it was targeting the largest group first.
Max looked at his flashlight. It was now at 59% battery. He still had time.
Risk it? The answer was obvious. He immediately shone the flashlight at where the monster was last seen. The light flickered on instantly, showing him the creature. Its neck turned around, looking at him before it broke into a run.
Seeing it, Max was really surprised and began to run at full speed while shining the flashlight toward it to allow it to target him only.
"What the heck? It can run?!"
— Holy moly! The way it runs is creepy af!
— That's a humanoid monster, right? So it's like a zombie. No wonder it runs.
