Chapter 122: For Survival (4)

The four members of the Congraylham colony continued to walk through the trees, looking carefully in different directions.

"Mark?" Jill hissed when she found the man's body.

"Shit! Is he dead!?" One of the machete holders replied.

"Watch out!" Emma screamed and fired her weapon.

Jill also fired her gun.

With a zigzagging motion from tree to tree, Manu moved closer at high speed. Two machete-wielding men were ready to counterattack, but one of them couldn't do anything when suddenly Manu was in front of him, striking his head with the ax.

Manu did not bother to pull out the ax and used the enemy's body as a shield. Jill and Emma hesitated to shoot, and that gave Manu a chance to advance.

Manu's movements were so fast that Jill didn't have time to run away. Now Manu was so close to Jill. The man threw away the corpse of the machete wielder then pulled Jill behind a large tree. Emma did shoot, but the bullet only hit that tree.

Manu bites Jill's hand holding the gun. Jill screamed in pain, and it didn't make Manu feel sorry at all. The man slammed the woman hard after that, and Manu began to stomp her head brutally.

Even I shudder to see that scene. I never imagined Manu could have such an expression. With bulging eyes, mouth rattling tightly, and facial muscles depicting the ferocity of a wild animal.

He was even more terrifying than Leva back then.

Jill's face kept splattering blood. The sounds like something cracking also kept coming from that part of the body, but Manu still stomped on it.

"Arrrrrghhhh!!!" Even the man's scream didn't sound like it came from a human's mouth, nor did it sound like that of a beast. Manu's voice sounded like it came from a non-existent being from the earth, a being that would give immeasurable terror.

Devil.

The two members of the Congraylham colony shuddered and began to retreat. As Manu let out a louder and horrifying scream, Emma turned and ran. The other man wielding a machete flinched at that and eventually fled as well.

Manu finally stopped trampling on Jill's head, which was beyond recognition. And then, the bearded man breathed at increasingly wilder intervals.

He shouted again, then followed the footsteps of the two fleeing people.

The next victim is the holder of the second machete. No matter how hard he ran, Manu could catch up with him in a matter of seconds.

"Heeellllpppp!!!" The machete wielder screamed hysterically as the back of his clothes was caught by Manu.

However, Emma only glanced back briefly, still running away.

There was a loud thud as the machete wielder fell on his back. The weapon in his hand fell off, and of course, Manu didn't waste the chance to pick it up.

This time Manu held the hilt of the machete with both hands, thrusting it into the male member of the Congraylham colony.

Blood splattered everywhere as Manu continued to stab the poor man's body. His cries of pleading and pain don't affect Manu at all. Even when the man was silent, Manu kept stabbing him.

And I can only watch that crazy scene in silence. Nausea has hit me, a sign that my body in the real world has been affected. And I'm sure all of this will be a nightmare when I sleep.

Manu only stopped when the machete blade slipped from its hilt. He then looked at the face of his enemy, who looked back at him with empty gaze.

Now, Manu's face and clothes were covered in blood.

"Arrrghhhh!!!" Manu roars again, then turns around and runs out of the tree area.

Emma and a woman on guard crouched behind two mounds of snow. They fired their respective rifles, but none of their bullets could hit Manu. My colonist ran in another zigzag with movements that the human eye could barely follow.

Now, I was hoping that Emma and her partner had just run away. It's better than them falling victim to Manu.

As time goes on, Manu gets closer to the two women. Emma and her partner finally ran away because they ran out of bullets. However, instead of being together, they ran in separate directions.

Manu chose to chase after Emma's partner, who was running beside the house crying.

"Get away from me! My son still needs me!" The woman screamed in terror. "Get away from me!"

And that's when I heard the faint cry of a baby. The voice sounded muffled, perhaps because the baby was being hidden—no wonder he had not been heard in the distance so far.

"Manu, stop this!" Of course, I couldn't bear it if the baby had to lose his mother.

However, Manu didn't care. He jumped up and caught the woman whose screams were getting louder.

Why didn't the guardian spirit of this place ask this woman to run away or hide with her child!?

Manu dragged the woman near the house, then started banging her head against the wall. I kept trying to stop the man, but he didn't care. The terrible crashing sound continued, accompanied by the baby's cries. The red stain on the wall is getting wider.

Should I ask Seb and Kat for help to stop this possessed Manu? No. I don't know if Manu still knows his friend or not. Manu might attack them too. That's also what made me ask Kat to evacuate.

Suddenly Manu stopped doing that. His attention turned to Emma, who was running in the distance. Manu then let go of the woman he was tormenting, making her fall down with face covered in blood.

The bearded man started walking towards Emma.

Seeing an ax stuck in a wooden stump, Manu picked it up and started running.

Emma looked back and stumbled when she saw Manu. However, she did not fall, still managed to maintain her balance and continue to run.

Meanwhile, the man whose body had been burned by the bomb earlier came out of the front door of the house. His hand was holding a rifle.
