It seems like the leader of this troop is quite able to identify the weapons and also the trucks that Henry and co. currently taken. “Who are they?” mumbles the driver. “Just stop the car! Let me go there!” says the troop leader. That one troop leader, with two lines scar on his chin, leaves his truck and takes only four of his men to approach Henry and the others. Nathan approaches them and greets flatly. “Excuse me! Are you soldiers from the national army?” “Yeah, my name is Parjo, the captain. I heard there are evacuation centers around this area. Am I lost?” “No. This is one of the evacuation centers in this city. Sadly, there were monsters’ raid yesterday. We could only save a few people. Now we are back here just to make sure if there are still any survivors.” “So?” Nathan shakes his head. “We haven’t found anyone so far.” That man named Parjo turns his attention back toward his friends for a while. After being silent for a moment, he asks Nathan to lead them to see the
Parjo issues a few of his men to look for those people. They drag one of the citizens to lead the way, the one citizen who has been so vocal so far.The discordance becomes chill, since there’s no longer the need to continue the debate. Those self-entitled soldiers already get the people who have been exposed to the meteor radiation.The few citizens who tried to protect them can only show their discontent looks to the traitors. Well, it’s hard to judge them as traitors, since they are the majority by a huge margin.“Hey, you forgot about someone here!”That voice attracts people’s attention. One of them points out about Grace, who has been confirmed to have experienced awakening.Grace looks in panic, glancing around like she is being surrounded by predators. She feels like she has been trapped in the wrong ecosystem. In fact, those people have been trying to distance themselves from Grace since the beginning, thinking that she will bring harm to them.One of those soldiers comes to
Awakened or not, Arifin still has his limit. He tore a few of his muscle fibers in his right hand and his left calf muscle. It’s not an injury because of the monster’s attack. It’s simply because of him forcing to use his body beyond its limit.He will only be able to eat another blood crystal without side effects later in the late afternoon. So he just lets that injury untreated for the time being, while laying down on the bed without doing anything.“Have you tried to call her?” asks Arifin to Tony, who is currently sitting on the window frame.“It's not like you, suddenly ask about my girlfriend,” replies Tony trying to avoid that question.“I’m just bored,” says Arifin.Suddenly, Arifin’s facial expression changes like he feels something different. He hears his mom accepting a guest. And he clearly hears that the guest is asking for a chance to meet him.Somehow, that weird feeling is getting stronger, until he finds that one guest stands right at the door which is wide open. The
Again, Arifin is puzzled by that man’s words. But he admits that his sword is not a normal one.At least, he once witnessed that the sword turned so black and thick when he was trapped in that ancient ruin, before he was dragged back to the past.“You seem to know something about this sword?” asks Arifin.For this one, Mike turns silent for a moment. He then tells Tony to leave them, and threatens him not to try to eavesdrop.After making sure that Tony is away from the room, only then does Mike respond to the issues raised by Arifin.“I was always by your grandpa’s side during the great war,” says Mike nonchalantly.“Bullshit! The great war had ended even long before I was born. Are you saying you joined war while you are still in your mom’s uterus?”“How old do you think I am? Just saying, I was born six years earlier than your grandpa.”Arifin scrunches his face. But Mike immediately ceases his curiosity, because there’s something more important that he needs to confirm first.“So
Parjo’s face really looks so clueless. Now he feels so stupid to disguise as a soldier from the national army. It gives him the impression of an amateur for not knowing that situation.Prof. Irwan also looks confused with Mike’s joke. But he admits that the possibility for a coup could just arise given the current circumstance.Mike unbuttons his suit, and pulls the left part of the lapel while putting his left hand into his cross pocket. He deliberately shows off the gun in his waistcoat.“You really have no idea what is happening out there, huh? The one who hired you must be stupid.”Parjo can identify the gun under Mike’s suit could be a micro Uzi, the type of full automatic pistol in the size of a handgun.It’s the type of gun which is able to launch 15 bullets per second. And it's rare for someone to carry such a gun around, unless he intends to have a war. That kind of gun is not simply for safety.“You’re correct!” says Parjo. “We are not soldiers from the national army. So, wh
Irwan tries to persuade Arifin. But after he sees Tony rushing to Arifin to support him walking, that’s when he realizes that Arifin might have been badly injured.“He broke some tissues in his calf muscle,” Mike informs as he takes a seat on the sofa. “I don’t think there’s any hospital that can fix such an injury at the moment.”That’s when Prof. Irwan remembers about Grace’s unique ability. He immediately tells Arifin that he still can be healed.“Arifin! Didn’t you say that Grace’s blood can fix even an injured muscle tissue?”“Hey! What are you talking about?” asks Mike.“Please, Professor!” Tony interferes. “He will be completely healed by late afternoon. But his injury has nothing to do with this. You should know how bad they’ve treated him so far.”“Oi, oi!” Mike interrupts again. “What are you guys talking about? How are you so sure such kind of injury could be healed by late afternoon?”Arifin stops for a moment at the door of his room. “I know the people in the evacuation c
One of the guards opens a room next door, and puts Grace in there. The room is hermetically sealed, with only one vent and one exhaust fan.Grace examines her surroundings and finds one camera on one corner of the room.“Is there any reason to detain me here?” she asks.“We just can’t let you join the others for now, at least until we know for sure about your situation.“You know I’m normal. Why don’t you just let me go?”“Don’t think we are stupid. We know you are hiding something from us,” says that female officer before she leaves and locks the door.Grace stays quiet for a while. After believing those people are already leaving her quite far, she tries to start a communication with the girl next door.“Hello! How long have you been there?”But Andini doesn’t answer her.There are rats placed in several cages near the door where Andini is detained. Most of the rats look dead.Meanwhile, there is one rat that was just put in the room this morning. It looks like it is in a drunk stat
She pulls the man away from her bed, and then talks toward the surveillance camera, telling them to take that body out of that room.Meanwhile, Grace is still trying to understand what’s happening in the next door. It’s already more than 10 minutes, but she hasn’t heard that man’s voice anymore.“Hello! Are you okay?”She tries to invite Andini to talk once more, but doesn’t get any answer. Not long after that, she notices the coming of two men walking toward the next door.She rushes to the door and starts knocking on it to attract those two men’s attention. But soon she finds those two men dragging a dead body.She is aghast, and falls to the back. After waiting for a few moments for those two men to leave, she tries to talk to Andini again.“Hey, are you okay?”….“What has happened? Please, answer me! What are they trying to do to you?”“He’s dead!” replies Andini.“What?”“She tried to rape me, so I killed him. You better stop talking before I kill you too!”Elsewhere, the other
