"Ha! I was such a fool not to have noticed this," muttered Augustus as he stared at the tick-like device in his hand. Without hesitation, he dropped it to the ground and crushed it beneath his shoe, destroying it completely.Once satisfied, he turned around and locked eyes with Franklin."Shall we go?" Franklin asked, to which Augustus nodded."Yeah, let's go."With those words, Augustus climbed into the van as Jimmy revved the engine. They were leaving Wantuki for good, with no intention of returning. That person already knew about that place, and it would only be a matter of time before it became a dangerous situation. They were heading south. And once they get there, they will start planning their next move.Following closely behind in a solar-powered car were Sam, Adara, the unconscious Elena, and Dr. Martinez. Inside the van, they had the unconscious Bloat, Franklin, Augustus, Jimmy, and Finn, just in case the Bloat woke up and started to rampage. Though Franklin believed it to b

A little earlier, just before midnight, a helicopter hovered above the Wantuki Forest Camp. It came to a stop near a clearing where a large, makeshift tent stood. Surrounding the tent were three vehicles. The radio crackled to life, and a voice broke through the static, commanding, "Drop the bomb." Without hesitation, the pilot pressed the red button, encased in thick glass. The bomb plummeted down, landing precisely on Augustus' red, solar-powered car. An explosion followed, scattering debris in all directions and creating a loud noise that startled everyone in the tent, rousing them awake. Jimmy was the first to react. He quickly grabbed his gun and cautiously looked outside. To his surprise, a helicopter was descending to the ground. Without wasting a moment, Sam quickly took a seat and headed towards his brother, who was sleeping outside the tent in the opposite direction of the helicopter. Once he was certain that Finn was safe, he made his way over to Franklin to ask for advice

Everything— the bones, tissues, muscles, flesh, and skin— had started fixing itself up. It was like this gooey, bubbling slime that melted together. And to make it even wilder, Finn's body started absorbing the flesh from the corpses Dr. Martinez stitched on him, making it his own."What the heck is going on?" It was Adara, and just like the others, her jaw dropped to the floor the moment she saw what was unfolding."It's... It's repairing itself. It's repairing itself." Sam thought he was losing his mind and had begun seeing things. However, contrary to his fear, Finn's body was actually repairing itself. If that wasn't a miracle, he didn't know what it was.Then Finn started to let out low, guttural moans, implying that he was trying to fight something inside him and was struggling.His limbs convulsed and jerked slightly, causing Sam to nearly jump up from the floor to check on his brother. However, Augustus intervened."Oi! Hold on there, young lad. Interrupting now could ruin the

“Augustus?” muttered Franklin. His eyes widened with shock. "W-Why are you here?" Franklin stammered. "Aren't you supposed to be up north?"Augustus, the man, had a grave expression on his face. "Uh, let's just say things got a bit messy up there. Look!" He raised his stub, "I even lost a few pounds!""N-No. That doesn't make sense. And George too. He's been missing since the leap. I don't even know where he is at this point. Is he even alive? We couldn't do another leap without him. After all the things we did, is this really the end?" Franklin was starting to get paranoid. The stress that had piled up over the last few years had finally reared its head."Franklin, just take a breath," Augustus said, trying to calm him down. "It's not all bad news, you know? I actually did it. I created the formula. T’was tough, and sadly, I only managed to make two. But hey, let's focus on the positives. We've got the formula now. That's something worth celebrating, right? We finally have a way to f

It was dark, and a large makeshift tent was set up next to the van, which was covered in solar panels. Inside, three bodies lay still. One was the Bloat, the other was Finn, and the third belonged to Elena. All three of them were unconscious. Franklin had just injected the blue formula into Elena. Dr. Martinez could only watch, hoping that everything would go as planned.Jimmy guarded the entrance with a gun slung over his shoulder, fatigue evident on his eyes. Inside, only Sam, Franklin, Adara, Dr. Martinez, and Brad were present. Franklin insisted that Brad had to stay, explaining he had something important to tell him.Sam had been silent since earlier, his eyes fixed on Finn, his mind buzzing with various thoughts.Just then, Franklin spoke.“Everyone. While we wait for this woman to wake up, listen up. Especially you, Brad. I’ve noticed that people tend to follow your lead around here, so I think it's only right for you to be the one to break the news.”All eyes turned to him.“T

Previously, Franklin said to Sam, “I lack evidence to support my claims right now. I also understand if you believe I’m going crazy and fabricating these wild stories in my head. That's only logical. It’s entirely up to you whether you choose to believe or not. Just watch me and see for yourself whether I am trustworthy.” Franklin spoke these words upon realizing that his words alone would not be enough to convince anyone. In fact, he had anticipated this outcome and had planned to substantiate his claims through his actions. “However, if you do happen to trust me, I would greatly appreciate your support in the future,” he added. Just then, a commotion caught their attention. Realizing that their conversation was going nowhere, they decided to investigate what was going on. They were greeted by the sight of Dr. Martinez brandishing his knife, protecting the convulsing woman behind him. A soon as Franklin saw this situation, he immediately understood what was going on. But if there
