Chapter II

I am good at giving up the things I love, if it appears on the horizon that they abandon me!

"Sir, they boarded the plane,"

a man with a long black coat spoke, looking at the plane that moved into the arms of the sky flying

The one on the other side smiled sarcastically

"Good Aiden, your job is done. Now go back to town."

"Yes, sir,"

answered the owner of the coat from the phone, so that the other one hung up the phone, looking in front of him absent-mindedly, with a dead smile on his lips.

While the other turned to go, and without warning his eyes fell on John, who was looking at the plane with sadness and pain, the man's eyes widened in shock, before he mumbled in amazement,

"This is impossible!"

"They won't stop, they still bring up their goddamn scientists"

The one sitting in front of him spoke with great anger, as he punched the wall, on which his fist was drawn, without causing harm to his hand.

He looked at him to smile sarcastically, then looked forward maliciously

"Don't worry, they will not reach the base, we will kill them on the way."

Another man who was sitting in a dark corner smiled, looking at them slyly

"Really how's that ?"

"We will wait for them at the fifty-seventh road, they will pass by it with certainty, they will not risk passing by the city, to avoid our traps, nor will they dare enter the forest, for fear of its monsters, so the only way before them is the fifty-seventh road, and we will be there waiting for them."

He spoke cunningly, and his black eyes grew darker and darker, so that the other smiled evilly and cracked his neck to the sides, with a movement he always does when he gets angry.

"A malicious plan, Boss,"

said the person sitting at an angle with malice and cunning while smiling, so that the other would return his malicious smile, before that body that was standing behind the desk quickly turned away to make a quick call.

The angry fist owner looked at him slyly, and his smile grew darker, making the other smile even stronger,

"I don't know why you did that, we will kill them in the end, whether they crossed the forest or the Seventy-fifth Road, why did you make them choose the forest?"

He shrugged his shoulders indifferently and very maliciously

"Change of routine."

He moved, carrying his black leather jacket, to get out of the office, behind him that man who smiled cunningly as he wished himself a bloody, terrifying battle, behind them who was sitting at an angle whistling a strange melody

"We won't take much, just me, you, Jack, and two guards."

He muttered coldly, as he climbed into one of the cars. He looked in front of him, while the other shook his head and put his hand on his ear, on the miniature device, making contact with those whom the commander asked for, who smiled sarcastically at that spy, who looked at them with half of his eyes. Happy that he has not been exposed yet, and the poor man does not know that he is just a pawn that he moves as he wants

“So Miss Lina, do you have a boyfriend?!”

George spoke, as he approached her, next to her on the sofa, on which she was sitting bored.

She looked at him with contempt and replied rudely

"You are really without dignity, Mr. Wilson."

He laughed hard, as he looked at her daringly and maliciously

“Come on little girl, don’t play hard to get.”

She looked at him out of the corner of her eyes, to sigh, he really wouldn't give up, unless his masculinity, his future and his life were destroyed,

"Mr. Wilson, I'm not one of your bitches, and I really refuse your closeness to me, so get away from me, and live with it, you idiot."

She got up, heading towards one of the tables, to take a bottle of juice, while George kept looking at her maliciously, while biting his lower lip maliciously and cunningly.

“Really, man, she is younger than you, almost the age of your daughter.”

Carl replied indignantly, looking at him with disgust . He turned to them, raising one of her eyebrows to respond sarcastically.

"For the first time you say something logical, you idiot. He's right, man. You're almost of my grandfather's age, and you're still trying to seduce me, sarcasm."

She spoke sarcastically and provocatively, looking at Karl, who ignored her and looked at his book, while George contorted his features and looked at her with hatred.

" I'm not that old, I'm still thirty-three years old, sweetheart."

She smiled provocatively, as she looked at him with disgust,

"If this is what you look like at the age of thirty, what it will be like at the age of seventy. I don't even want to imagine."

He looked at her indignantly, and turned his face away from her, so she smiled slyly, and went back to having her cold drink, while she smiled coldly. Michael smiled, and went back to work on his personal computer, muttering

"children."

George blinked at him,

"What are you working on since we left your city, you work there?"

"Surely something doesn't concern you Wilson , why don't you mind your own business and leave other people's business ?"

She spoke coldly, while looking at her glass, before raising her gaze at him, raising one of her eyebrows, he gave her an indignant look, and before he could answer, George replied,

"It's a research on the respiratory alveolus."

George murmured thoughtfully, while Carl and Lena looked away from them

After a twelve-hour flight, the plane finally stopped at an airport completely empty of any plane, except for their private plane.

Everyone got off, led by Zack Karl Michael Lena, then George, who puts his hand behind his head, and looks at Lena with his perverted looks, behind him are some guards.

One of the soldiers came forward to Zack, speaking in his ear with something, that made his features darken with anger, he muttered something that did not reach their ears, before he turned to his soldiers, saying :

"We will change the plan."

George raised his eyebrows, and looked at the four who were looking at the soldiers with incomprehension, and then some of them to say to Carl

"Excuse me, what's going on, general?"

Zach looked at him vaguely, before he said frozenly, as he moved his gaze between all the team members

"There is a group of bandits, they are on the main road that we will pass through, so we will change our way and pass through the forest."

Lina looked at the empty airport, except for army soldiers, and not any ordinary soldiers, but rather that their number exceeded fifty soldiers from the Special Forces, she wondered to herself, why are all these soldiers why are they here

Michael looked at him in wonder

" The forest, are you kidding me? An entire army is afraid of a few men of bandits."

"The orders given to us are limited to delivering you faithfully to the base. Mr. Jones and I follow the method that guarantees your safety, and the safety of all of us,

Zack replied coldly, as he looked at them.

"Well, I agree with you, Mr. Zach, but I don't think that the bandits are stupid, to the point of standing in the way of the army and blocking its way, and we are just a scientific expedition, I don't think it's that dangerous, I suggest that we follow our way, general, to arrive faster, as for the Jungle I don't agree with you, and if you don't accept, I'll fly home right away."

Lena spoke thoughtfully, looking at Zack who was obviously cursing at her under his breath.

"Sorry, Miss Haxon, but it's a matter of command. You can file a complaint as soon as we get to the base, but now it's my job to get you to the base safely, and your job is to obey my orders until we get there."

She looked at him with hatred, and turned her face away from him, to say with an order:

"We will ride the cars to the eastern border, then we will complete the road on foot, passing the Keegan Forest. We will try to pass it within three days. Get ready, we will set off in half an hour."

He gave them one of his mysterious looks, which he has been looking at since their meeting, to go with his assistant to one of the cars, spreading on it what appears to be a map.

Michael looked at each of the three who were with him, after they moved somewhat away from the soldiers.

"Am I the only one feeling strange here?"

"Something strange is going on here, why all these soldiers, aren't we on a scientific mission, we're going to do some research on cancer and we're leaving "

Lena said with astonishment, looking at her partners, who are sort of her friends now, they looked at her with concern, then at Zack who is still busy With his map and his assistant, George frowned nervously,

"Let's run away from them, I feel like we're in some kind of disaster."

Carl looked at him disapprovingly, before looking at them coldly, trying to be calm despite the charged atmosphere,

"For God's sake, guys, haven't you heard about this area, and about the crimes that occur in it? I think we are only exaggerating, then they are members of the army. I think the real danger is The danger that we will be in when we move away from them, then why all this tension, we will reach the base and see, if we do not like it, we will leave, because we are not obligated to anything, did you sign a work contract or a check with them, of course not, then there is no need for all this. "

“A reasonable point of view, are there any other suggestions?”

George spoke with conviction, as he passed his gaze between them, so that Michael and Carl both shook their heads in denial, looking at Lena who looked around, before she sighed and looked at him coldly,

“I don’t know, I feel like this is the last chance For us to retreat, I do not know how to explain the matter, but I think that if we entered with them to that unknown base, which he is talking about, I do not think that we will go out again, I prefer to go back . "

Carl looked at her coldly,

"No one ever forced you to come, child."

She looked at him coldly before turning her gaze to Zack, whose features were overwhelmed by anxiety and tension, despite his attempts to manage it.

"When that invitation was sent, no one told us that there were soldiers and bandits, then come on, are there soldiers who fear bandits, and in the twenty-second century, For the love of God, the matter is as clear as the sun, something is going on behind us, and they want to make us a part of it. "

"A convincing point of view."

George spoke while placing his hand under his jaw. Everyone looked at the ground absentmindedly, each thinking of a quick solution. Michael finally said,

"I suggest we follow them."

They looked at him in astonishment at his decision, so he said lightly while pointing his head at the soldiers,

"It is obvious that we have been led into something dangerous, and we are now part of it already. We have been involved in it since we boarded that damned plane. Even if one of us left the group and returned, they will send one of the soldiers to eliminate him I don't think they will let him live to tell what he saw here."

Lena looked at him in shock

"What the hell did we see?"

He pointed to the place with his eyes,

"A completely empty airport, still traffic outside the airport, the army deployed everywhere, for God's sake, even if the airport was reserved for us, isn't it obligatory to at least contain staff, but from what I see here, the soldiers doing everything by themselves, so I don't think leaving is a good idea, they won't let us leave just like that, even if we want to."

Lena looked at the place examiningly, worried eyes tense,

"Wow, we're stuck now."

Michael shook his head absentmindedly, as he studied the movement of the soldiers, Karl swallowed his saliva nervously, and looked at them anxiously,

"What a curse we have put ourselves into."

George smiled sarcastically, before sighed

"Well, there is no other way , we are going to follow the soldiers now, and when we reach the forest, we will try to find a way to escape from them."

Zak, who was putting his maps on the front of the car, looked at them with a mysterious look, especially Lena, who was looking around her with somewhat frightened looks. He smiled sideways, a smile you could barely see, before saying coldly,

"Let's go."

Everyone moved towards the cars, where Michael and Lina got into a four-wheel drive car, with two soldiers, one for driving and the other next to him, and another car in which George and Carl rode in the same way.

The convoy was led by Zak in a dark black car, of the type Mercedes, and as for the rest of the cars, it was a four-wheel drive car. They set off on a road, and the matter became more strange than its predecessor, for it was not only the airport that was empty of people, but even the city they were in, that there was not a single creature in it, as if it were empty.

Lena looked at Michael, who also looked at the place with shock and incomprehension. So the matter is bigger than they think, otherwise the city would not be like this

George looked around, as did the completely astonished Carl, swallowed his saliva, before whispering in a very low voice to George nervously and anxiously,

"George, are you sure we can escape?"

However, George was not paying attention to what his friend was saying, more than he was paying attention to all these guards of soldiers, who are leading them. It is as if they are heads of state, and not just scientists in the field of human and veterinary medicine.

He furrowed his eyebrows as he saw a group of cars parted from them, as it set off towards another road, on which was written Seventy-fifth Road. He looked at Karl, who looked back at him a worried look as well, looking at the two soldiers who had no features, so that the curly-haired man would repeat angrily to himself,

"Damn, we are in trouble."

After a good amount of driving, the convoy, which consisted of only seven cars, stopped, and everyone got off while adjusting their bags and weapons, so that Zach looked at them, repeating

"We will enter Keegan Forest now, I want you to stay with each other, and I do not want anyone to move away from the group,"

he indicated. To a group of soldiers

"You will walk behind so we don't lose anyone."

He looked towards another group, consisting of three individuals.

"You will come with me in the lead."

He looked at Lina, and his gaze was devoted to her alone without the rest, focusing his eyes on her

"Mr. Carl, then Mr. Michael, then Miss Lena and Mr. Wilson behind him."

Everyone looked at him coldly, and he smiled sideways and raised his voice,

"Let's go now."

She does not know why, but she turned back to where the road is, it seemed to her as if she had seen something, but she did not find anyone, her nerves were exhausted and this damned trip made it worse, she wanted to call John and tell him to come and get her now, because she was afraid of hell, despite the strength she had And steadily, she is very terrified of what is going on around her

this tight security and the empty city, the silent soldiers in an exaggerated way, and storming a forest for three days instead of the public road, which will reach them in a few hours. All these strange events exhaust her, and she just wants to go back to where she is. To Her brother, if she escapes from here, she swears that she will never refuse him an order

"Do you need help ??"

Michael replied as he approached her anxiously

She looked at him in astonishment, before shaking her head, repelling her straying

"Hah....um....no, I'm fine."

"They're tougher than we thought,"

he said worriedly, looking at her with worried eyes, before whispering anxiously

"You'll be fine."

His words seemed to be an affirmation and not just a question or consolation. She does not know why she sees deep pain in his eyes whenever he looks at her.

She sees that he has known her before. No, she has never seen him before. She also remembers all her days. It is impossible for him to have known her before this accursed journey. It's a strange journey with all its damning details

"Sir, they have fallen into our trap, they are passing through the woods now,"

said one of the guards, who was wearing a uniform, and he bowed respectfully to the one who stood on top of the mountain, looking at the landscape, which covered that area coldly, his dark eyes staring into the void in complete silence, with a malicious smile

"I'll take care of it myself, I'll kill them and come back,"

said a man with chestnut hair and bright brown eyes.

"It's okay, I don't have anything to do at all, let's go"

he muttered coldly before putting his black jacket on his back, moving towards their target........the scientists!!!

The chestnut-haired man looked at the other person, who was sitting on a giant tree behind them.

"Are you going too?"

“Unfortunate for you,”

he replied provocatively and coldly, making the other gnash his teeth, and look at him angrily,

“I will kill more than you this time, and you will see.”

"As you wish, just let's go, and end this damned day,"

he said coldly, as he moved behind their leader, who had advanced ahead of them a while ago.

The brown-haired man smiled slyly, as he followed them, he quickly ran after the other two who entered the forest before him, to make a distinctive whistle, making the ground shake, and the trees move, each of them smiled sideways, as they felt the ground shake under their feet, before something terrible, very terrible stood up in front of them
