Finally, Patrick asked in a grim tone, "How should we get out now?"
The group sat in heavy silence for a moment, the question hanging in the air like a bad omen.
Mikhail leaned the stolen spear against one of the charred trees and finally spoke.
"I would like to state what I observed about those monsters."
His words caught the interest of all the other teammates as they looked at him.
"It's safe to say those things are like parasites that use human or humanoid bodies as hosts."
"They also seem to connect with each other like those three headless corpses. I can confirm that they die from electricity, and yeah! You won't get infected by their blood."
Stella narrowed her eyes as she fixed her glasses. "How can you be so sure about your last point?"
Mikhail calmly pointed at James, who was sitting on the side.
"If that was the case, then he would be a goner by now," Mikhail said. "He is alive, and that's enough proof."
