Well, sadly, there were monsters at Yates' farm. It was mostly creatures that looked like rabbits that lost the genetic lottery. Large eyes that nearly bulged out of their skulls. Its fur was almost all gone; in its place were sharp spikes. Its nose seemed too small and pointed; it was like a naked mole rat had a child with a rabbit and then that child had cubs with a porcupine. It walked on all fours. It seemed to hold no thoughts and was eating the exposed wood lying on the ground.
"Hmm, that's new." (Anna)
"What is?" (Mark)
Mark whispered as they were sneaking closer to the weird rabbit-like creature.
"Oh, I've only seen carnivorous monsters so far, this one might be an Omnivore, or it might be a herbivore since it is eating the wood unless it needs it to digest what it eats." (Anna)
"What do you mean?" (Mark)
"The digestion part?" (Anna)
"Seriously, we are supposed to be sneaking up on it, and you two can't even manage to be quiet?" (Justin)
Justin hissed his words at both of us.
"I'm just saying this because if it's just a herbivore then we might not have to kill them." (Anna)
"And why is that?" (Justin)
Although Justin is sarcastic, Anna answers in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Because the survivors might be able to use it as livestock if it is edible. Right now, nothing that the survivors have can be counted as self-sustaining. So how about we just kill one and test it." (Anna)
"Test it for what?" (Justin)
"Everything." (Anna)
"Justin, why don't we just capture some and kill the rest?" (Greyson)
"Honestly this just sound weird as fuck so lets do it." (Kyle)
"Oh? Pray tell, how do you plan on capturing those creatures alive?" (Justin)
"Actually, how would we even capture one besides those spikes that look nasty to try and touch?" (Mark)
Okay, maybe Anna having an inventory was a bad Idea because she is possibly a hoarder.
"With this." (Anna)
Everything else happened in a blur. Mark wound up with his hand impaled with a spike from one of the Spiked Rabbits. Justin managed to chase three into the dog kennel that Anna set up. Greyson punted one in like a goofball, and Kyle somehow managed to get a group of five of them to go into the kennel calmly.
"Ouch ouch gentle that hurts." (Mark)
Anna couldn't help but roll her eyes at Mark. Seriously, has he not gotten injured once till now? Walking over, Anna moved Greyson to the side and quickly pulled pliers out of her inventory and ripped the spike out of his hand.
"You guys can kill the other monsters and scare any other off." (Anna)
Anna wanted to gag with the bloody hole in Mark's hand. Bone was jutting out where it shouldn't be and looked painful. Although with the spike removed, Anna watched as the bone started to move, fragments of the bone realigning themselves, but not fully fusing.
"I should have ransacked a hospital for medical supplies." (Anna)
It was a painful ten minutes till Anna cleaned, stitched, and made a makeshift cast for Mark to have on his injured hand. Getting out one of the bottles of pain medication, Handed it to Mark.
"I am not a doctor. Some system fuckery is making your bones realign themselves on their own but it still isn't healing too quickly Only take what the bottle says I know you should probably take more but we need you Lucid not experiencing a medical high." (Anna)
