Ef instantly took over Lin's weapon when the girl said that some people who were in the forest area were not wearing necklaces like them. A few minutes Ef waited until one of them came out of hiding. Sure enough, the man behind the boulder was not wearing a metal necklace. He also wore military-standard Kevlar.
The way they move and shoot. They are obviously trained people. In fact, actually they can paralyze and even kill 4 opponents in a shootout easily. The group near Ef's position fired haphazardly, wasteful ammunition and irregularly. Only 1 person actively responded to the attack while the other three people were passively waiting.
“Are they rescue team?” whispered Lin who was still monitoring next to Ef.
“We can't be sure yet.”
Ef continued to observe the battle taking place 500 meters ahead of them. The group of ‘Hutan’ should have ended this battle since earlier. They've made a besieging move. Even his opponent ran out of ammunition many times and was in an open position. But the shots fired by the forest troops seemed deliberately not directed to be on target, impressed like dispelling.
“It looks like the people on the other side are guarding something that is in the forest there. They never move forward despite the opportunity.”
“Do they team Hell Game, Capt?”
“Cannot be confirmed. We better get out of here!”
Eph rose up from a position of descent and took his weapon that was leaning on the ground. The man's face sharpened, he became more serious and alert.
“Our reform changes, I'll be in front. Lin was behind me, then Maya and Hamish. Distance cannot be as far away as it was. We'll go hand in hand.”
There was no protest or rebuttal from the 15th team member, they understood that if the captain changed the formation, it was considered.
Ef led the team down the slope, away from the ‘hutan’ team battle arena and one of Hell Game's participating teams. Focusing on goals is more important than meddling in affairs that are not yet understood.
Since the beginning of entering this forest there is a very obvious irregularity. There were no predatory beasts they encountered, not even a trace of them. Supposedly in the wilderness like this, at least they could find traces of Tigers or bears or leopards. But the predatory animals were never seen. What they encounter is even animals that are almost impossible to exist in the wilderness. Chickens, ducks, geese and even cows are seen several times.
Ef re-opened the map to make sure they were not misdirected. In fact, in the basic survival techniques in tropical forests have been taught how to not get lost and circling in the same location. That is by making a mark on the path that has been passed, either by scratching the mark on the surface of the tree or giving other signs that can be seen clearly. But the technique has a weakness, other people can know the direction that is on the way. And Eph did not want them to be followed.
Based on the blind map he was holding, they should have already arrived at the last valley. And the ‘’ points they are heading to are behind the hill after this valley.
“We rest here for a while. One more hour we'll cross that hill.”
Without orders Hamish immediately took out food from his backpack.
“This is our last meal!” hamish said lethargic. The man was more worried about running out of food than running out of ammunition.
“How many cans?”
“Four cans, Capt”
“Open 3 cans only. I still have a stock of bacon.”
“The meat is already a few days. Not good anymore, Ef. Don't eat.” Lin thrust his ration can to Ef. “a few spoon is enough for my body.”
“Yes, let me and Lin share one can.” Maya chimed.
“We will still have 4 cans left. Maya and Lin one can, capten 1 can means the rest of this one for me ya” said Hamish innocently.
“Not just you.” Maya immediately snatched one can and stuffed it into her backpack.
“then just keep 2 cans. Just in case until we get another meal. This smoked meat is still good.”
Ef lit a bonfire and directly grilled 2 cans of corned beef and bacon. This afternoon's meal couldn't be as relaxing as before. They had to hurry to find a hiding place before it was dark.
After their stomachs were blocked, the journey continued to climb the hill.
“Lin, borrow your rifle,” pinta Ef when you arrive at the top of the hill.
“It's village! Oh god, we can finally get help.” Maya is hysterical when she sees the view below the hill
The dots on the map turned out to be a fairly large village. There are dozens of houses in uniform, semi-permanent shape with two floors lined with spacious courtyards. Behind the village was a stretch of land with low crops. Like farmland.
“Come down. Stay careful.”
The sounds of crickets and night bugs were heard very clearly accompanying the steps of the fifteen team down the hill.However, the feeling of getting help from the locals disappeared instantly when they arrived at the village. The atmosphere of the village was very quiet, no human voices were heard or any sounds that signified the existence of life.
Ef invites its members to take the back lane and avoid the village shaft road. They walked down to leave the roosters until they arrived at the first house.
“Wait here. I'll check into.” Ef whispered and moved forward. In just a few seconds the man was able to open the back door and enter the house.
In the dimness, Ef observes the house he entered. It seems that the residents of this house left the house in a hurry. Home equipment is complete. Even some of the school textbooks were still scattered on the floor.
“Where are the residents?” said Lin who was already standing behind Ef. He also observed the condition of the house they had just entered.
“It looks like the villagers have been brought out by Hell Game.”
CLICKS
Suddenly the room lights came on.
“Why should be at home dark-eight if there is electricity.” Hamish grinned near the switch.
“DEACT!” bentak Ef's. Hamish immediately pressed back the switch he just turned on.
“You tell us our position!” Ef's face looked tense.
“I’m sorry, capt”
“we must divert. All of them split into other houses. And turn the lights on simultaneously.”
EF immediately moves out towards the other house, followed by Lin, Maya and Hamish. They spread in every house. With Ef's command over the radio, they turned on the lights simultaneously. Then move to another house and do the same.
“Search for objects you think are useful.”
“It looks like we can use this house as a resting place. The facilities are quite complete.” Lin replied by radio.
“Good. Gather at Lin's place. I'll turn on another house's electricity first.”
A few minutes later Ef arrived at the house they chose to be a hiding place. The house was actually the size of another house. But the facilities are more complete. There is a refrigerator that contains some food ingredients that can still be consumed, gas stoves, televisions and modern electronic equipment. It seemed like the owner of the house was the richest person in the village.
When women take turns using the bathroom to clean themselves. Hamish begins the project given by Ef, trying to disassemble the necklace given by the captain. Ef was busy in the back.
An hour later Lin and Maya had finished bathing. They have also changed their clothes from the closet. They were both lucky, because the owner of the house had the same body size as Lin and Maya.
Ef, Maya and Lin rushed towards the kitchen while smelling a savory scent that made their saliva about to come out.
On the table are two bowls of food.
“You cooked this, Capt?”
Ef simply nodded as his hands were still busy moving the other dishes from the frying pan to the plate. Hamish immediately grabbed a piece of fried chicken that Ef had just put on the table.
“Enak. I became curious. What exactly can't you do?”
“Hahaha. Just cook like this everyone can too. You guys eat first. I'm going to take a shower.”
As Ef stepped he saw Lin who was standing at the door between the front room and the kitchen room while carrying a towel. The girl's hair was still wet, she was wearing an ivory-white washcloth that covered her knees.
“The towel is only two. You just use the towel I was wearing. Do not use Maya Towel.”
“Alright." Ef received the towel that Lin offered. "I take a shower first. You eat.”
“No, I'll eat after you finish your bath. We eat together.”
