Mich - Surival of the Isekai'd westerner

Part 8

There was no one left in the room, only just the reorganized remains of the mess I had made a couple hours earlier. Looking about, I found that all of the pole arms and other supplies were now gone too, probably taken away to be used somewhere that wasnt discovered.

I nodded to myself, chistizing at the same time. "A spear of any sorts would be great in this environment" I thought to myself as I left the room, the place visibly dimming. Looking at this oddity for only a couple seconds longer, I then headed back to where I remembered where the exit to this stinky sewer was.

I heard steps behind me, ones with trailing shrieks for each step, and a slushing noise before that. My heart promptly started racing right then. "Oh fuck this shit" I thought to myself, starting to jog ever so much faster, wishing that I had more rounds in my gun along with some grenade. I pulled out my side arm, the iridium sights the only bright thing in the tunnel.

I took a couple steps back, looking out of my peripheral as much as possible. My last step pushed my back into the metal bars behind me. I quickly turned around and tried to practically run up the ladder as much as possible. This apparently upsetted my stalker, proof being that it growled and started rushing towards where the ruckus I was causing came from.

I pushed open the sewer lid as fast as possible, my body just starting to give out to the complete hunger I was feeling. But my morbid curiosity forced me to look down right before I completely left. "Yrah, fuck that" I thought to myself with a complete flight response going off. No one had told me that four eyed lizards were a thing, much less ones with bleeding gills.
