Execution

The humans appeared to have some questions, but as I had told them earlier… there was no need to speak to me.

"Now then, since I have explained the rules of this game to you, I will now be releasing you. Run as fast as you can."

As soon as I said this, the tensed face of the humans loosened considerably and they found out their bodies now moved properly. For a few moments, they stood there—dazed.

However…

"57 seconds left. 56 seconds left. 55 seconds left…"

My lips began to curl amusedly, parting as words came out.

The moment the scavenger party realized that they were wasting valuable time, they sprang into action and took a mad dash to flee.

'Now, that's more like it!'

None of them even thought of looking back, dashing away as if their life depended on it, which it did.
