'W-We need to escape… we have to,' she thought with a desperate expression.
In the corner, another figure twitched.
The shopkeeper—the very same man Leo had spoken to earlier. His face was drained of all colour, his body trembling uncontrollably as his eyes stayed locked on the monsters before him.... he had been a fool to keep his store at this time.
A bigger fool for ever getting involved.
He should have left. Should have shut everything down. Should have stayed the hell away.
His eyes darted to the side, and his guts twisted further when he saw the piles of bodies stacked near the sewage water.
The stench was overwhelming, but the fear was even more!!
But now was not the time to think of the dead. He needed to escape.
His panicked gaze swept over the group—seven captives, at least six still alive enough to move. That meant… There was a chance. A chance to use them. To let them be the distraction while he slipped away.
