Alex had another question that it wanted to ask the system, and it was about the advantage others gained from Alex's disadvantage.
What does that mean?
Simple: if the creatures of the maze started to chase Alex, then they would probably ignore the others.
Maybe those abominations did kill some humans—the ones who came in their path or couldn't run fast.
But that didn't take away others' advantage.
With the creatures chasing after Alex, all the humans had to do was wait the time out, and as soon as the beasts were out of their sight or far from them, they could just come out of their hiding spot and go on with it.
Alex wanted an answer to that, but when he saw the cautious and fearful looks of the humans in his surroundings, he kept quiet.
His trying to question that thing would just push the humans—who felt like there was a special relationship between Alex and the system—against himself.
