I've always respected them, but this time, I'm anxious because this woman is still talking about such unimportant things at this time. I don't care if this child is dead or alive, or rather, deep in my heart, I can't wait for him to die. His body still has that monster's blood. If he really gets out of here alive, who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause. So, my feet didn't stop at all, as if I didn't hear what they said. "
"After the couple called out to me twice, they stopped calling me when they saw that I didn't respond. We just kept running forward. After running for a while, I felt a little strange. Based on my understanding of the couple, they were very assertive people. They would do whatever they decided to do, and they were rarely disturbed by others.
"So I turned around and saw a scene that shocked me. I didn't know when the woman had grabbed the umbilical cord and inserted the sharp end into her arm. I was so scared that I almost fell to the ground. I asked her, "Are you crazy? Why are you doing this? Get rid of that damned thing right now.
"She just shrugged at me and spat out Mr. Tym's name. I knew she was threatening me because Mr. Tym wanted the baby. So, I yelled at her. Mr. Tym didn't say that the baby had to be alive. We just needed to bring the baby up to him.
"Do you want to take a gamble? She blinked and asked me. I admit that I was scared at the last moment because I remembered the scene when Mr. Tym used his scythe to split the monster that attacked us. Besides, I didn't think her actions would work. God knows why the baby was dying. Even if there was no blood transfusion, it probably needed the blood of the tentacle, not human blood. So, in the end, I acquiesced to her behavior.
"We continued to run forward, and soon, I heard the sound of someone panting behind me. In order to get out of this horrible place as soon as possible, I deliberately sped up. As a woman, she was already at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength, and she was still messing around, attaching the umbilical cord to her body. How could she feel good? But I didn't stop because I felt that she deserved it. I wasn't going to pay for her willful actions.
"But after a while, I heard her breathing become more even. I was a little surprised. I thought she had finally thrown the umbilical cord away, but when I looked back, I found that she didn't have the umbilical cord anymore. It was now with her husband.
"Two lunatics! I cursed under my breath, but I had no choice but to accept the fact. Moreover, I didn't expect that their method would work. I could feel that the baby in the travel bag had regained some of his vitality due to the blood transfusion. This made me very uncomfortable, but I didn't have time to think about it. I could feel that something in the city had come to life and was quickly moving toward us.
"This time, I wasn't purposely trying to make things difficult for the Chinese couple behind us. I just knew I had to move faster. Thankfully, we were not far from the icy path we came from. We just needed to climb the stone pillar. When we reached the last part of the path, the four of us started to sprint.
"I saw them take out something called the Ancient Seal and put it on their bodies. I also took out the pebble. It was my turn to wear it. Doctor Baker ran as fast as he could. We used all the energy in our bodies to reach the stone pillar before the things in the city reached us. We left the rope there.
"After that, we grabbed the rope and started to climb up. I saw a scene that made my head go numb. I saw many octopus-like things surging towards us from all directions. I suddenly remembered that on the night of the last attack, I seemed to have seen their figures on the iceberg by the side, but at that time, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.
"These incomparably ugly and terrifying things should be the natives of this city. We climbed for less than 20 meters before the first monster reached the stone pillar. I heard the Chinese couple yell, 'Cut the rope!' My brain stopped for a moment. I didn't understand what they meant. Wouldn't we fall if we cut the rope? But then it dawned on me that they wanted us to cut the rope to stop the monsters from climbing up.
"I did as they said, but we seemed to have underestimated the climbing ability of these aquatic creatures. They don't need any ropes at all. All they need to do is attach their tentacles covered with suction cups to the stone pillars, and they can climb up very quickly. Not long after, the first one approached the husband of the Chinese couple. He actually had some strength left, but in order to protect his wife, he deliberately lagged behind. When he saw the monster rushing towards him, he took off the ring on his hand and threw it at the monster.
"His luck was not bad. The Ancient Seal that was carved with a tree branch happened to land on the monster, causing it to loosen its tentacles and fall from the stone pillar. However, it did not look like it was injured. Even so, this was still good news for us because it bought us some time. However, before we could celebrate, more monsters came out of the cave.
"Seeing them, despair filled my heart. This stone pillar was very tall, we had only climbed a tenth of the way up. There was no way we could reach the icy path before they did. Even though the Ancient Seal appeared to have some effect on them, there were too many of them.
The doctor and I were scared out of our wits. Even though we were still climbing, it was just our body's reflex because our minds were already blank. Then I saw two more monsters crawl up the stone pillar and they were about to reach the Chinese couple. They tossed the necklace out but this time it didn't hit anything. So the husband could only hug his wife with his own body. Just as they were about to be entangled by the tentacles, the monsters suddenly stopped moving.
"I noticed they seemed to be afraid of something. I didn't think too much about it. I just shouted and used that opportunity to climb up. But I didn't get far before the Chinese couple called out to me again. "
