Danger Everywhere

They don't need to be told twice. Everyone increased their speed. However, giants appeared from under the ground on both sides. They chased after Justin and his group relentlessly. The burnt cars and trucks on the road obstruct Justin and the others from running quickly.

"My God! They number in the thousands. " Chloe said in a trembling voice.

"And if you don't want to be food for them, You better concentrate on running, "Merab scolded.

Quickly, the group jumped over a car blocking their way when tens of rats appeared in front of them.

Gasp!

They wanted to stop. But when they heard the command from Justin, They rolled their eyes and continued running toward the giants. When Justin's group was a couple of meters from the giant rats, it surprised them to hear a shout from the west. What! A group of people was running in their direction. On seeing this, Justin increased his speed.

"They are everywhere." A young man shouted in misery. His head was covered in sweats and his clothes were torn in many places, stained with blood. Whose blood? No one knew. When he saw Justin, his eyes brightened.

"Thank God. With you joining us, We may have a fighting chance.

Immediately, a group of young and a few older people appeared at the back of the young man and looked at Justin and his group. When they saw Justin and his group in perfect shape with no bloodstains, They widened their eyes.

Justin and his group stopped for a moment, raising their eyebrows. "What happened?" He asked in a low voice.

"Oh! Young man, where have you been? But let me tell you, these damn rats have been attacking us for the past couple of days. But they aren't this many, "Cadwell, the old man, narrated. His chest went up and down, wiping the drop of blood from his face. "Let's

Get going." Justin picked up his race.

"Oh wait, We can fend them off now with you joining us. " George raised his voice, running after Justin and his group.

"That will be unnecessary. If we choose to escape now, It's only a matter of time before they stop chasing us."

George shook his head. "These damn rats never give up. Let's fight them now when we have the chance. "

He waited for Justin to reply but heard nothing. "Fuck! " He gnashed his teeth. He inhaled a large gulp of air and looked at Cadwell. "Let's follow them. We can't fight the rats by ourselves. "

Cadwell nodded and turned to the people behind him. "Everyone, let's get going. We will soon find shelter to hide in. "

A depressing sigh came from the people. They bit their lower lip, wiping sweat from their brow, and followed George and Cadwell. Meanwhile, Justin and his group were only a few feet from the giant rats in their front. "Nika and Chloe clear the way."

At once, Nika and Chloe rush toward the incoming rats, banishing their weapons. Nika whistled through the air and appeared in front of the first rat, creating a gush of wind. Whoosh! His weapon sliced through the rat's head, dissecting it into two.

His weapon didn't stop after the first attack. He twisted his body in a dangerous position to the left, raising one foot and kicking the rats in front while his weapon pierced the rat in the back.

Chloe was direct. She hacked the rats into two. Although she wasn't as deadly as Nika. She still gets the work done. In the blink of an eye, over thirty rats lay on the ground in a pool of blood. Justin and the others rushed past the rats' encampment without stopping.

"Do you see that?" George shouted, his eyes brightening, pointing toward Nika and Chloe's fights.

I knew they weren't green. Fuck. I will follow them. " Cadwell bellowed, rubbing his bald head, and a wild smile appeared on his face.

Everyone, hurry. We are following them. " George's elated voice echoed in the ears of the crowd.

After disposing of the giant rats, Nika and Chloe rushed after their friends. A loud, piercing squeak echoed throughout the quiet street. Then George and Cadwell shivered. They looked at each other and inhaled with their mouths wide open, increasing their speed.

Ah!

A young man fell to the ground, holding his knee. He tried to stand, but a cry escaped from his mouth. Tears covered his face. He looked at the back of the departing group and shouted for help. However, no one stopped. Another scream reverberated through the street again. But never to be heard again.

Justin and his group entered another street, and they inhaled a thick stench of blood. Just then, they noticed the giant rats had stopped to follow them into the street. Every hair on their body stood straight.

The light rustling and tingling echoed in the desolate street. They felt the bone-chilling tension deep in their souls. Their blood runs cold. They looked at each other and then back at Justin. Can we not go in that direction?

Oblivious to their thoughts, Justin furrowed. He stared from one building to the other. Others may think he was using his eyes. But they were wrong. His perception was scanning the environment.

After a few seconds, he continued into the street. Merab and Nika didn't dillydally. They follow him at once. Chloe and Nasir inhale the nasty air and follow the group.

"Try not to make a sound," Justin whispered without turning back.

Everyone nodded, swallowing the lumps in their throats while their eyes darted from one place to another.

Walking among the abandoned vehicles They saw thick, dried blood on the ground. Ashes, broken metal, and wood were scattered everywhere.

Ting!

The group stopped, holding their breath. They turned their heads to the source of the sound, their eyes widening. "Sorry," Nasir whispered, rubbing the back of his head. It drenched his spin in cold sweats. Justin didn't utter a word and continued forward.

"Yo! Wait for us. " George's exciting voice echoed from the back.
