All Heavens: Starting with the Predator, I'm No Longer Human

This wasn't the first time Bertha had encountered a Predator.

In the camp, when she saw the mad dog tied to a tree stump, she recognized this strange species that resembled a human but had a beast-like face.

But she didn't make a fuss, nor did she want to tell anyone else.

The moment she saw the mad dog, she knew what kind of creature she was facing, and she felt a sense of despair deep down.

After all, the information she knew described just how powerful this creature was.

She initially thought the information was fabricated and fake, but an unexpected event led her to travel through interstellar space and arrive on this unfamiliar planet.

I saw this creature that I had only seen in informational materials.

What was even more unexpected was that what happened next was completely different from what was expected.

While the others were still in awe of their first encounter with an alien species, Nikolai from the group actually stepped forward and woke up the alien.

Next, Ross suddenly disappears, Nigel is ambushed and killed, and Ross reappears and fires at thin air.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, leaving everyone in a panic, but thankfully Ross gave a heads-up.

Everyone then scattered and fled.

Bertha naturally followed them and hid in the woods.

According to the information she had, this monster possessed the ability to become invisible, could identify objects using infrared light, and had a powerful physique.

They are also quite intelligent, have a natural instinct to hunt powerful creatures, and prefer to hunt from the shadows.

The guy in the mud was killed by this kind of monster, which approached stealthily and killed him...

Then, for some unknown reason, the monster suddenly stopped attacking, giving them a chance to catch their breath...

Bertha immediately hid, picked up her sniper rifle, and searched for the monster's figure.

Unexpectedly, another monster appeared, and it seemed to be from a different faction than the monster that attacked them.

Based on the information about the monster on the tree stump, she easily deduced that they were from the same faction, and that the monster that appeared later was there to rescue the one tied to the tree stump.

Seeing this, Bertha was initially delighted, thinking that with these monsters fighting amongst themselves, they would be safe.

She told the others the news.

Unexpectedly, Ross's first thought was to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

"Why not take advantage of this opportunity and escape quickly?"

Bertha stared intently at Ross. She understood. This man had brought them here to use them as bait to lure out the hunters lurking in the shadows…

"Escape? Where can you escape to?" Ross almost laughed at this stupid woman. "With such a good opportunity, the first thing you think of is running away."

You think you can get away? Hahaha…

"This isn't Earth. Besides those monsters, do you know how to get back? Instead of trying to kill them while they're fighting amongst themselves, you're thinking of running away?"

Ross's words were firm and resolute.

"Go ahead and try to escape! I'm going to kill them all and then find a way back."

"..."

Bertha was speechless.

She longed to go back, but judging from the firepower of those monsters, they were simply no match for them, not to mention their ability to become invisible.

Even though she knew from the information that these monsters used infrared light to identify living beings, and even though she had a way to fight them, she didn't think the group was a match for these monsters.

"What are your plans...?"

Bertha compromised, since she was going to die either way, so she might as well die in battle.

"Wait until they're both severely weakened..."

Ross peeked out from behind the tree and could vaguely see through the leaves the scene of the two monsters fighting in the camp.

Bertha, through the sniper rifle scope, saw every detail of the battle clearly...

After watching the play for a while, Bertha suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Don't you find it strange...?"

Apart from those two, it seems like the others have been quiet for a long time.

You should know that when the group escaped together, Nikolai was the only one who stayed behind to cover their retreat.

The tattooed man and the doctor were walking at the very front, but now they were nowhere to be seen, and no screams were heard.

It was as if the two of them had suddenly disappeared.

"Be careful!"

A furious roar rang out.

Bertha felt a chill run down her spine, goosebumps rose all over her body, and the shadow of death loomed over her.

Without the slightest hesitation, Bertha rolled forward, narrowly dodging the spear that suddenly appeared behind her.

"Da da da...!"

Gunshots rang out one after another.

"Fuck...!"

"Get out of here!"

Accompanied by Nikolai's shouts and curses.

Bertha broke out in a cold sweat. Having escaped a life-threatening crisis, she immediately became fully alert.

"There are more than two of them; other monsters are hiding as well. Everyone be careful."

The gunshots drowned out Bertha's warning.

A dense hail of bullets scattered in all directions, mud flew, and trees fell.

"Go to hell...!"

"Bang bang bang...!"

Although Nikolai's Gatling gun was broken, he still managed to fire it like a machine gun while holding a small pistol. However, he simply didn't have enough bullets and emptied a magazine in no time.

"Watch out, Nikolai..."

Bertha's warning dissipated into the air, drowned out by gunfire and roars.

"ah……!"

She could only watch helplessly as Nikolai was pierced through the chest by a spear, his eyes wide with rage as he died.

"Hoo-hoo!"

A familiar roar rang out behind everyone.

Before they could react, the blue-skinned hounds charged at them.

Bertha had no choice but to fight and retreat.

She was armed with a sniper rifle, which was not an advantage in close-quarters combat; she could only fight positional battles.

The pistol was too weak and had a limited number of bullets, so it wouldn't do much damage to these blue-skinned hounds.

"Walk!"

Ross's shotgun was incredibly powerful at close range, but the bullets were too scattered at long range, so he had to avoid its firepower for now.

Moreover, they have now lost Nikolai, their gunner, and are left with only three men.

The other two, armed with a sniper rifle and two pistols, were no match for these monsters.

Rose is no longer thinking about finding a bargain; he just wants to save his life first.

Fortunately, these monsters, for some reason, although they kept driving them away and occasionally bombarded their feet with energy cannons, did not seem to intend to kill them immediately.

"what……"

The road ahead suddenly turned into a steep downhill slope.

The three of them couldn't dodge in time and tumbled down.

The hunting dogs behind them paused for a moment before descending the steep slope, then quickly ran off in the other direction.

"Splash...splash..."

Ahead of the long downhill slope lies a cliffside waterfall.

The sound of flowing water drowned out the cries of pain from the three people.

"Bang bang bang!"

Three consecutive sounds of heavy objects falling into the water.

They are safe for now.

Before the three could calm their wildly beating hearts...

"Buzz!"

A faint whirring sound of engine blades could be heard above the three of them.

"Hurry up!"

Ross was the first to react, watching the miniature drone appear above the waterfall as he swam toward the shore.

The monster above the waterfall clearly doesn't want to let them go, and after gathering information on the three, it will likely catch up soon.

Time is of the essence. They didn't even have time to change their guns or bullets. If they were to engage in combat immediately, they wouldn't even have the ability to fight back. That would be even more painful than being killed outright.
