He realised that this was a bedroom as he found this room very small with only one bed and a photo hung on the wall.

He still wondered where the light got the electricity from. He put away his crystal now that he doesn’t need it.

.....

Erick inspected the bed from head to toe but didn’t find anything out of place. Feeling troubled he sat down on the bed and he visioned then stopped on the photo.

The photo has a middle-aged man sitting on a chair. He got up and ripped the photo from the wall and accidentally discovered a safe locker behind it.

His attention went to the safe after finding it hidden, Erick thought it might have something hidden in it so he gripped the handle with little force and ended up breaking it.

“What the!” Erick exclaimed looking at his hand where a broken handle lays and the safe, which was still being locked.

“Bammn!” “Crank!” “Chacha ack!”

Erick’s fist made contact with the safe, which trashed the locker and bent in two sides. After that, feeling satisfied, he took things from the inside and put them on the bed.

“Tsk... I thought there would be some more valuable things but what is this!” Erick said out loud with disappointment, from the safe he found two items. One is a book which looks like a diary and the other is a small box with a 10x10cm size.

“Let’s see what’s in the box first!” Erick said and opened the box, inside it he found a syringe with green and violet colour liquid inside it.

Not understanding what it is, he put it aside and opened the diary next.

“Hmmn! Naraku Makani, ohh! So that’s the name of the old man in the photo!” Erick nodded with understanding after looking at the name on the diary’s first page, matching the age in the image of the photo frame.

Erick first turned all the pages and found that the whole diary is filled with his writing, which means it would take time for him to read it all.

So he put the box with a syringe inside his spatial ring and took the diary in his hand and went out to follow the group as he didn’t want to miss the only humans he came across up till now.

......

“Leader Shun, which way we are going back!” The youngest, Rodic asked after they came out from the secret laboratory.

“Well, we have to take the shortest route this time and meet up with the rest of the groups at the dock!” Leader Shun replied by taking out the map and pointing his fingers at the map which route they were going to take.

“The previous route which we came here from, is not usable and as we are not the only ones to come to the continent this time so we need to be careful, not only from the malice organisms but also from the fellow humans!” This time a woman with pants and a shirt replied with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

“Cortel-san is right about it. Don’t forget if not for someone interfering last time then we would have been ambushed by that trash and his buddies!” Another man nodded and agreed with a woman named Cortel and reminded them what had happened last time when they became careless about their route and exposed their traces.

“Soren-san, please don’t remind me of that trash and his goons, it just makes me want to thrash them up!” Monan spoke up with a trace of anger mixed towards them.

“Okay, everyone, let’s get moving as we don’t have much time left if we want to reach on time to catch our ride!” Leader Shun, looked at his digital watch for the time, beckoning everyone to get moving.

The group of ten started to move from there with the planned route and just as they reached a few hundred metres from there Erick also caught with them.

......

Erick looked at the group moving with moderate speed which was quite impressive for them, as their bodies aren’t that strong. From Erick’s evolution, everyone in the group has above-average strength from an ordinary human but impressively enough they have great resiliency and stamina.

Even then they are bound to get tired from running and Erick guessed right after a few km running, they came to halt and started to take rest.

Just like that they kept running to their destination and took a short break between the running to take a breather, they almost reached their destination which was a harbour where a massive ship was docked.

When they only had an hour’s distance left, they were attacked by the malice organisms. This immediately put them in a defensive position as they had gotten tired after continuous running so they didn’t have sufficient energy to fight back the malice organisms.

“Leader Shun, I am almost out of ammo. We need to break from their encirclement, otherwise sooner or later they will run over us!” Chowan, the man with many weapons, shouted towards the leader, throwing empty weapons over the malice organisms one after another.

“Soren, how many grenades do you have left on you!” The leader asked a man not far from him.

“Leader Shun, there are not many left, only a couple more!” Soren replied while cutting the tendrils of the malice organism.

“Okay, Cortel-san, Monan-san and Soren come with me in the front position and the rest of you follow in a triangle defensive position. We are breaking out of here with a last-ditch effort!” Leader Shun said towards the three and pointed to the rest what to do and then, gripping tightly on his cold machete, he strode ahead with three people in tow.

“Haaaaaaa!” “Swishhhh!” (Swinging of cold weapon and yelling of a person)

“Raaaaaaaa!” (Screeching of malice organisms)

“Booooooomn!”

They somehow made their way from the encirclement and ran from there but in their effort, they lost almost all of their weapons and now they have only knives, swords or machetes left to defend themselves.

Even though they ran fast and as they were exhausted, how fast can they run? A malicious creature caught up with them and this time, the malice creature resembled the octopus which has multiple tendrils flying around. So they have a hard time even dodging them and not getting caught in it.

“Hiik, ahhhhhh!!”

The quiet woman suddenly slipped and rolled over to the ground and once she tried to stand up, she found that she couldn’t move one of her legs.

The men who were at the back position hurriedly held her and tried to run but in that meantime, multiple tendrils attacked them, two of which supported the injured woman and the rest three defended from the attacks.

Leader Shun, seeing that the back position has been compromised, and the other three come to support them and have the injured woman taken away to safety first.

“Shwooosh....!!!”

“Clang..!!” “Raaaaaa!!”

After fighting those tendrils for a few minutes, they got attacked by the main body like an angry beast, the malice organism attacked everything it had, and tens of tendrils came down on them like bullets raining.

“Ahhhhhh....!! Fuck you, die!!”

Three men who were at the back from the start got injured while defending from the tendrils.

“You three back off, we can’t afford to get caught in a fight with them, otherwise other malice organisms might catch up with us!” Leader Shun shouted to the three who had just got injured and were bleeding from multiple places.
