Evacuation

The moment the monsters appeared, Brenda shut up and buried her head in her mother's arms, as obedient as a dove.

Luke was lost for words. So, you only dare shout at your allies?

Well, fine. If Brenda had shouted at the monsters, she probably would've been killed already.

Those monsters certainly didn't seem to have good tempers.

The monsters eyed the four women suspiciously and roared to each other, as if they were communicating, before they moved back to where they had come from.

After the monsters left, Selina said in a low voice, "I need to pee. Asel, can you stop Brenda from shouting? I don't want to be eaten when I'm peeing."

Brenda lowered her head further, not because she was ashamed, but because she was scared of the monsters.

Asel was actually just as terrified, but unlike her daughter, she didn't cry out.

This time, Selina was finally unhindered as she slowly reached Luke's location.

Luke's heart pounded.
