Chapter 83: 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.

He was confident in himself, but not so in Brenda, who seemed hysterical. He didn’t know if she would scream again.

Brenda seemed to have learned her lesson. She didn’t cry out again.

Just like that, Selina fumbled her way into the passage.

Without any hesitation, Luke pulled her in and covered her mouth, before he said in a low voice, “It’s me.”

Selina rolled her eyes.

She knew it was Luke when he pulled her into his arms just now.

“Don’t make any sound. Let’s go.” Luke picked her up and quickly moved out.

They didn’t have much time.

Brenda was a ticking time bomb and might scream again at any moment, so Luke had to escape from this cave with Selina as quickly as possible.

When they got out, Luke had a hundred ways to teach the monsters a lesson.

Even if he couldn’t, the FBI agents who were coming would.

And if the FBI agents failed, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military would certainly make sure that the monsters were beaten in the end.

Thanks to Luke’s strength, they left even faster than when Luke had come in.

When he first entered, Luke had been trying to avoid being noticed, but right now, he was trying to escape quickly without causing much noise.

Actually, Brenda’s screams were a more substantial threat to them than the noise that Luke might make.

At that moment, Brenda’s voice rang out faintly behind them. “Hey, are you alright?”

Luke and Selina were speechless. We were, but we’re not so sure now!

Luke sped up again. They finally returned to the first cave.

Pushing Selina into the tunnel, Luke said, “Leave, now.” In the meantime, he took out his pistol and his knife, and aimed at the inner passage.

Instead of clinging to him and shouting “No, we should leave together!” like so many annoying women would say in movies and dramas, Selina climbed up without a word.

She knew that she would be a huge burden to Luke if she couldn’t make it out.

Fighting against the sedative, Selina was still weak, and it hurt when her body and limbs scraped against the tunnel around her, but she gritted her teeth and climbed on.

Luke was as calm as usual. His racing heart gradually slowed down.

Two minutes later, Selina climbed out of the ten-meter tunnel and exclaimed from the top, “I’m done! Come on out!”

Luke sheathed his knife and crawled into the tunnel. Grabbing the protrusions on the wall, he pulled himself up.

In the meantime, he stared at the bottom of the tunnel and aimed his Beretta downward.

Suddenly, a few roars resounded in the cave, which was followed by the sound of swift movement.

His face unchanged, Luke kept moving up.

But he had been shot in the left arm earlier, which slowed him down significantly.

A roar burst out right under him, and a hideous monster appeared in the tunnel as it crawled toward him on all fours.

The monster was used to the cave, and moved much faster than Luke did.

With a cold smile, Luke pulled the trigger of his Beretta.

Bang! Bang!

But the two shots didn’t blow up the monster’s head!

Luckily for the monster, it ducked so that the bullets missed its head, but they tore bloody holes in its body.

The monster roared. Incited by the pain, it sped up and charged.

But that was the end for it.

Bang! Bang!

Its head was blown up.

Fortune didn’t favor it again. One of the bullets pierced its skull, and the other whizzed into its mouth.

The closer it was, the more precisely Luke could shoot!

As long as there were bullets in his gun, he wasn’t scared of these beasts at all. He was invincible in such a narrow tunnel which didn’t have any cover.

The only side effect was that his ears were ringing.

He felt like his eardrums had exploded after shooting in such a closed environment.

Selina shouted above his head, “Grab the rope.”

Luke shook his humming head and felt what appeared to be a rod.

He grasped it and realized what it was.

It was the speargun.

Selina had dropped the body of the speargun and was holding onto the arrow on the other end. Sensing the rope grow taut, she began to haul.

With her help, it was even easier for Luke.

He could ascend quickly by pushing with his legs.

Due to the sedative, Selina didn’t have much strength.

However, she was smart enough to tie the rope around her and pull with her weight, which didn’t require much strength.

Right then, the dead monster was suddenly dragged out from the tunnel below, and another monster charged upward.

Using his legs to brace himself against the wall, Luke stopped moving.

He waited two seconds for the monster to squeeze into the tunnel and climb up two meters.

Bang! Bang!

Not as lucky as the first monster, its head was blown up directly.

By the time this monster was dragged away as well, Luke, who was dizzy, had been pulled out of the tunnel.

Shaking his head, Luke handed his Beretta as well as the last magazine to Selina.

He drew out the M1911 strapped to his leg and said, “Your shoe is on the right side of the cave. Put it on. We’re going to the lake.”

There were cars, bows and guns near the lake. He wouldn’t be scared even if there were two hundred such monsters.
