Run from Them!

At the same time, uncle Ao Qi's group.

"Urghh uncle h-how long do I have to hold this huftt" asked Hei Tai, with his big muscular body, he was able to exert a force equivalent to 5 adults.

"As long as you can hold it, we need to give them enough time to move away, far enough from here" replied uncle Ao Qi while holding back from the direction of the falling tree.

The three of them held this tree from falling, so as not to make a loud noise that would attract bears.

"Su Meng, you're the slowest one here, run first" said uncle Ao Qi.

"Huh? Are you crazy, the two of you won't be able to hold this with properly" replied Su Meng's uncle who was also pushing the tree to keep it from falling near Ao Qi's uncle's side.

"Just follow my words" said uncle Ao Qi in a flat tone.

"H-hey, you're underestimating me huh?,damn it!" an exasperated and annoyed tone was clearly heard from uncle Su Meng.

"Just follow... sniff sniff*, oh no this is the smell of carrion, why is the wind going this way, those bear packs will definitely follow this smell" said uncle Ao Qi with a tone and expression of worry and real fear in his face.

"Well, now there's another problem coming, let's leave this tree too" Su Meng's uncle added.

"Su Meng you run first, Hei Tai let's get ready" ordered uncle Ao Qi.

"Yes uncle" Hei Tai replied in a low voice.

Su Meng ran reluctantly, how could he run ahead of the others, for his this was an indirect insult, but ignoring his personal feelings and looking at the other fact that he was also the slowest in this group, at least a little slower than Hei Tai.

After waiting Su Meng simply moved away from where uncle Ao Qi and Hei Tai were.

"Let go, one...two...three!"

Loud creaking*, the sound of wood splitting and then the big pine tree collapsed, boom!!*

In the instant uncle Ao Qi and Hei Tai ran away, uncle Bei Shen's group who had been very far away from Ao Qi's group heard this clearly although only slightly, but the sound of falling trees was indeed clearly heard.

"That's their signal, let's run quickly everyone!" Uncle Feng Ge shouted.

They ran as fast as they could, with all their might, the three people behind Bei Shen following him to keep him safe.

"Let's take a few hundred more steps it seems!" said uncle Yong Chun thoughtfully.

Meanwhile, in uncle Ao Qi's group.

The fallen tree hit another tree and caused even louder sounds, more wood to break and creak loudly, leaves to fall and the whole situation was chaotic as a result of one big pine tree.

Uncle Ao Qi, Uncle Su Meng, and Hei Tai ran with all the strength in their legs, Uncle Ao Qi who was at the very back heard the roaring sound of a bear far behind them.

"oh it looks like they are coming this way, and when they smell the carrion along this road, it will run right towards us."

"Uncle, why don't we just go around the other way?" asked Hei Tai who was running in the middle of the group.

"Hei Tai, my great nephew, this carrion smell has merged with our body, if we go in another direction, it might only bring new problems, it would be good if our body odor mixed with carrion smell does not attract other animals, but if our body odor is smelled by the Golden sawtooth centipede then we are finished, that animal you know is an animal that will follow the smell of food until it gets it" Ao Qi explained while running on a small path.

"Oh uncle is right, Hei Tai learned something" Hei Tai replied.

The two of them can still talk at length because they are not running at full speed, Su Meng who is in front of the two is blocking the pace of the two, even so this is the plan of Ao Qi not to leave anyone behind.

A few steps, a dozen steps, dozens of steps, almost a hundred steps and suddenly from behind them the ground shook, the bushes rang loudly, and the trees swayed.

"It's them, hurry up everyone" Ao Qi shouted.

"huft huft huft huft" Uncle Su Meng ran until he felt like he was going to faint, his stomach cramping a little until it finally did.

"arghhh, my stomach, damn it!"

"Tch, Hey Tai carry him, the bears are still focused on the smell they don't really notice us... Gosh it looks like it's an army of bears."

A male silverback bear led a smaller group of female bears behind him, ten? Eleven? Seventeen? More than twenty female bears with darker brown fur than the male were behind following the lead male.

From where uncle Ao Qi was running, one could feel the intentions An apex predator picking up his food, not by just one predator, but nearly 30 predators simultaneously.

The male bear at the forefront growled while sniffing the smell of the air mixed with blood and carrion, he approached the place where uncle Ao Qi's group had fought with the silverback fur bear earlier.

For a moment he sniffed loudly at the crushed tree and the ground, followed by the group of female bears behind him, the male then returned to sniffing and following the direction of the carrion smell.

The male roared loudly followed by the other female bears, indicating that he was claiming this place as his territory, after which they all suddenly ran towards the source of this carrion smell which led to the path where Ao Qi's uncle was.

The roar of this group of ferocious and heavy beasts echoed throughout a large part of the surrounding forest, this is the real Apex predator, that's what the bear thought as he showed off his charisma in front of the more than twenty dark brown female bears.

"uhh my body hair is all goosebumps, it feels like the cold air has penetrated me then add to that roar, it's complete now, the nightmare of all forest creatures has moved towards us!" said uncle Su Meng who was currently being carried by Hei Tai behind him.

Hei Tai's running pace did decrease but not as much as falling as they let Su Meng run alone in front of them.

"I can only hope that we escape the smell" said uncle Su Meng again, uncle Ao Qi and Hei Tai were fiercely running with all their strength, of course it was better not to talk so as not to interfere with breathing while running fully.

The massive group of bears ran and made the ground tremble around them, exceeding the vibration of the footsteps when the silver back fur bear mutated before.

The ground trembled, the undergrowth flattened into a pile of pine tree leaves, some of the other female bears occasionally bumped into the pine trees, but it didn't greatly reduce the running speed, if in our world today, this depiction is more suitable for a light tank troop that runs through the battlefield of a former battle, the tank troop runs over all the former war properties on the ground, trenches and sandbags, and then runs over the corpses without care about anything in the road ahead.

Uncle Bei Shen's group at the front was still doing their best, not even speaking to prevent breathing while running, now fear, panic, anxiety and trepidation filled the hearts of each of them.

The shadow of deep anxiety haunted their souls, their lives were determined by how fast they ran, uncle Bei Shen who was at the front felt the weight of the burden, making his little heart upset, and so did the others, except that uncle Yong Chun's facial expression was more dramatic than the others.

Just a few hundred steps more and they would leave the boundary of the third and fourth layer of the forest border, then enter into the center of the third layer of the forest border.

The cold air mixed with the damp smell of the forest made some people feel at peace, but coupled with the fact that he also had to run from the walking dead, who would be at peace? Even for adults like this uncles, there was nothing they could do to even slightly create a sense of peace from the direct coming death.

The body was heating up, the veins and tendons were moving violently, the life force engine of the human muscle was pumping as hard as it could to make their running output fast, cold sweat was pouring down their clothes, even though it was cloudy and getting darker which made the air even colder, but this did not change the condition of their bodies which felt a great panic.

Uncle Bei Shen had a look of annoyance, helplessness, and pity on his face, he could have run fast by himself, but that meant he was ignoring his family in death and violating the rules and norms of humanity.

The other three are also not much different, this difficult situation cannot be influenced much by them, they can only follow the flow of fate that is so cruel, life and death, that's how it work it is.

("Arghh damn it, damn it, if only Cang Yan wasn't brought back, just leave him, ah no, I can't do that, he is my family, ahh what is this, I'm so bad, what about the others?") said Uncle Yong Chun who was contradicting his mind and heart, he clenched his jaw tightly, grinding his teeth because of the annoyance boiling inside him.

A few tens of steps later they all simultaneously glanced at each other while running, as if they found something strange, a great sense of constraint, a sense of ignorance of something in front of them.

Suddenly they stopped shortly after glancing at each other.

"Stop for a moment" Uncle Bei Shen said hurriedly as he slowly took a breath.

Feng Ge gazed with deep pity at the dying Cang Yan, although his face was slightly refreshed earlier but it did not proof that his condition was improving, the mouth that occasionally coughed up blood soaked Bei Shen's upper back, staining his blue set of clothes with fresh red blood.

Hong Ling and Yong Chun also briefly caught their breath, as Hong Ling's uncle looked around, while Yong Chun himself bent down, holding his knees, and then stood up a little straighter and was about to listen to what Bei Shen's uncle would say next.

"Huhh huhh, hfff, Hei Xing he's been up there too long" said uncle Bei Shen after catching his breath.
