Lara took an arrow from the quiver on her back and shot the monster in Anne''s leg.


    "Argggghhhh!!!" Anne screamed even more in pain as the other stump scorpions began to pinch several parts of her body.


    "Hey guys! Help us ..." Anne, who was looking back, gasped as the people from the tribe ran further and further away.


    What are you doing, Red? Why did you let them escape?


    "Lara .... Help me ....." Anne whimpered with tears in her eyes. She tried to free the monsters from her body but to no avail. "This hurts so bad...."


    Anne''s body was already bleeding profusely.


    "Shit!" Lara kept shooting at the monsters with her arrows. The tiny monster immediately fell when hit by the arrow. However, for more enormous monsters, one arrow was not enough. It still cut the petite girl''s right waist.


    "Die you, ugly monster!!!" Lara kept shooting that monster. At the fourth arrow, the beast finally fell.


    However, another big stump scorpion came to the petite girl. Seeing that, Anne widened her eyes which were filled with tears.


    "Don''te near me!!!!" Anne tried to crawl away, but her strength was gone. She could only move for a few inches.


    Lara reached for her quiver again but couldn''t grasp anything. Her arrows have run out.


    "Aieeeeee!!!" Anne''s scream was heard again as the stump scorpion began to cut her hand. The girl tried to fight back. However, she couldn''t do anything because of her weakened body. Maybe it''s because she''s bleeding a lot.


    Lara looked here and there frantically, then fixated on her tribe mate, who was still suffering.


    And the blonde girl just ran away.


    "Lara! Don''t leave me!!!" Anne burst into tears again. "I beg you, don''t leave me alone.... Please.... It''s hurts...."


    I knelt down, pressing my palms to the ground. My tears started to flow, causing a warm feeling in my eyes. If I were in the real world, my tears would have fallen to this ground.


    A game, they say? What a joke. In front of me, there is a person who died, and it looks so real. For me, this is not a simtion anymore. This is hell.


    Anne''s screams were no longer heard. Now she could only sob and whimper in pain. She was still trying to push the stump scorpion, which was still cutting off her other hand.


    However, the push was very weak. She had no more strength.


    "I am really, really sorry." I groaned, unable to look at the girl.


    "Heaah!!!"


    I lifted my face when I heard the roar. It wasn''t Anne''s voice.


    Lara was running towards the petite girl carrying arge rock.


    And then, Anne''s crying stopped. She looked horrified when she saw her left forearm, which had just separated from her body. Then, the stump scorpion had crawled into the poor girl''s chest.


    A loud thud echoed, apanied by a disgusting sound as if something was squeezed hard. Lara just threw the big rock in her hand, and itnded on the monster''s body, sttering a lot of white liquid. The stump scorpion''s legs were still moving, but it could do nothing to break free.


    "Anne!" Lara crouched next to Leva''s little sister, ignoring the pool of thick red liquid that continued to spread on the ground.


    Anne''s mouth spits out fresh blood. The girl sobbed and whimpered again. "I don''t want to die.... I don''t want to die...."


    "You won''t die!" Lara tore off her own clothes with a knife, then tied the part of Anne''s hand that had been cut off. "Hold on, Anne!"


    "It''s hurts so much...."


    Lara picked up Anne and started running. Blood continued to stter on the ground at every step of the blonde-haired woman.


    Come on! You can do it, Lara!


    Anne''s mouth kept opening and closing. She seemed to be talking, but no sound came out of her mouth.


    "Come on, hang on a little longer, Anne." Lara also started to have tears in her eyes. "We''re going to ask your sister''s Tribe for help."


    Anne''s eyes narrowed, and her breathing began to slow. Lara realized that and getting more and more tears in her eyes.


    Until finally, the petite girl''s chest no longer showed an up and down movement. Her eyes were also staring nkly at the sky.


    Lara stopped running. Her mouth opened wide.


    ***


    I returned to my colony because I could no longer bear the sad sight. My colonists had their weapons ready. Leva with her pickaxe, then Kat and Pif using their bows.


    And, of course, Seb was hiding somewhere some distance away.


    "Well, what are we actually making a bonfire for?" Pif asked as he looked at the bonfire in front of him. "Are we going to meet those monkeys again?


    "Just shut up, kid." Leva snorted. "You''ve asked that many times. I''m also confused as to why we have to prepare like we''re going to war."


    The skinny young man sighed. "Maybe our guardian spirit expects something toe to us.... Maybe from that salt cave.... Ah, sorry...."


    Pif didn''t continue his words because he got a re from Leva.


    Oh, you all don''t know.


    Kat took a few steps forward and narrowed her eyes. "That''s...."


    Tosa''s group had begun to be seen in the distance. The nine men just kept running.


    If I could, I would have spat on them one by one. They were the ones who left Anne to die.


    "Oh shit." Pif hissed.


    Leva came forward with her lips tightly closed. Her eyes moved between the nine people.


    I know who she is looking for.


    As soon as they arrived at my settlement, the group immediately stopped. By drenched in sweat, all of them catch their breath, even to the point of some lying down exhausted.


    Leva hurried over to Tosa, who was sitting on the grass.


    "Where''s Anne?" The red-haired girl asked with trembling lips.


    Tosa nced at Leva, then looked away and said, "I don''t know."


    Leva widened her eyes, then ran in the direction the group hade from.


    She did it without my orders.


    "Leva, where are you going!?" Pif called out to the woman but was ignored.


    Soon, Leva would meet Lara.


    At first, I didn''t want to follow the red-haired girl, but that particr feeling came back again to me. As the one who made all of this happen, I have to see them all, share their suffering.


    Therefore, I also ran to catch up with Leva.
