Chapter 169 - Sacrifice

It was in that utter state of dread and despair that the group was shined with a little bit of hope as they saw a much larger group of survivors, people further away in the very direction they were rushing towards. They heard them shouting and seemed to be directed by a few others.

Even though the group was still a bit farther away still, they knew that all those people ran in the direction they found their salvation. It was also the one and only hope for these students as well. Even if it was merely a dream, wishful thinking, they desperately needed it to continue clinging onto life and not give in to the surging, roaring tide of monsters behind them.

In the minds of every single student, every single person in their small little group of survivors, a similar goal sprouted. It was to follow that large group of people towards safety.

Their only remaining question left was if their pursuers would actually give them this chance and allow them to reach their salvation.
