Carasitic insects were grade 1 insects species but their grade increases with the size and quantity, right now what adam was seeing was a nearly grade 3, Adam was without a weapon and any awakened ability, so what was there to fight and he did not instead he did the only thing he could, that was running. Adam turned his back towards the chasing insects and started running hard without looking back, he mind was screaming to not look back, it was saying if you look back you're as good as a dead. After running 3 mins or so Adam was out of Breath. As a regular human he didn't have the stamina nor the strength nor the the speed of an ability user, while taking about the carasitic insect, they were bad news. First of all they were grade 2 and approaching grade 3 so for a regular human to fight them was not a possibility. Now can a human run from a grade 3, the answer is NO. Then what about grade 2 the answer is again NO. Now about the grade 1, the answer could be yes but not without weapon, study and experience and even then were the slim chances one could win but Adam had none of the three so he had no chance but the real question was could he outrun them and the answer was again a big fat NO.
Adam was running non stop, his leg were in pain and muscles were screaming out load, he was out of breath, his heart was pumping the blood as fast as a heart could, his lungs couldn't take enough oxygen so blood couldn't carry enough oxygen, overall he was in a sorry state still holding on to dear life by running as much and as fast, but the problem was that only 4 minutes have gone passed, moreover, the speed of the hunter and the prey which was the same in the beginning was now clearly changing. Adam was in a sorry pathetic state still trying to run and some what doing it but was not enough and as a matter of fact, was there something that was enough, he thought but got the answer (NO) but dear life makes you do unnecessary stuff just as now, dear life was making Adam running when he knew himself that all his efforts are gonna be in vain cuz surely enough he is going to be caught.
Now after 5 minutes Adam could now listen the sound of chasing insects coming near and near and near. The time when one of the insects was about to reach him Adam could sense his death knocking at the door, but human will always make the last effort to make an escape to dodge his death by releasing the adrenaline in the blood. We call it adrenaline rush and as soon as adrenaline was released Adam could feel his breath again his eyes turned golden and a light Golden hue could be seen around adam his muscles stop screaming, heartbeat came to normal and he became faster bit by bit. He started gaining the distance. Adam didn't know what was happening and right now he wasn't that much eager to find out as well, but he could sense the changes, he could tell that his overall stamina, strength and speed have increased ovell all, he could feel his senses getting a lot sharper hearing, feeling, listening and sight improving second by second but even after that, he knew, it is not enough to fight the vile things so he had to run, and he didn't know for how much longer will this ability would remain, he had no idea of abilities, again should have learned them when he had the chance but unfortunately he didn't and now his mind was roaming around on the question that for how much longer can he keep this state. He literally had no idea.
It was the first time something like this had happened to Adam he knew that he was an ability user that's why he was taken by the forces but he never had them awakened. Going against his will in the army he was quite stubborn so he never intended to awaken it. He always thought that he would never ever go on front line to fight. What would he get by keeping his life on the line 24/7. No way he didn't want a stressed life. He wanted to live a casual life, farming and growing veggies and trees, having a wife and a kid was what he wanted, not an ambitious fellow he was and never wanted to be, kind of a person who remains happy with what life gives him but unfortunately for him life has kicked him on his butt and thrown him in the forces first and in the mattor 2ndly, and now regretting on his descion of not paying attention in the classroom have bought him here and exactly the problem that he didn't know where he was thrown, looked a jungle but he heard that he was being thrown in the mottar so this must be the mottar and exactly on the 2nd day he was getting a hint on the reason that why no one was coming back from here. It was because your enemies are these little pieces of shits.
Thinking hard while running is not what everyone can do, but anyone in the situation where adam is stuck, yes he can and that why adam was thinking as if he was in an exam hall, running and thinking he could see the trees. His mind was giving him an idea again and again but he was rejected it every time. This goes on for 15 minutes and Adam Felt his power draining, muscle losing the strength and heart beat increasing, he could tell that he had only a little time left before he loses his ability whatever that was, he had gained quite some distance and as he looked back at the insects he could he see them quite far away from here but he knew that whenever he stopped, it will take them less than a minute to reach him and that minute is the only minute he would have of life, his death was chasing him. He was running and losing his strength and his mind was knocking at him with an idea, which was the last thing he could do. That was it, he decided to climb the trees, only thing that was there to climb were the trees. When he saw a big tree, he started climbing.
