Philippines 9/11/1943 WW2 Japon ocupation
Region XIII
A small shack lost and engulfed by a dense jungle is hidden and far away from the city and villages
Inside the shack a small group of people reorganizes
This place would do for a while, I don't know Jacob I don't think is a good idea to stay here we
barely have any food left and we run out of clean water, calm down Baahir the food will last us for a day that's enough time, what about the water you know my mother is too old to walk that distance without any water, don't worry Markus we are gonna think of something for your mother, now we need to rest.
In the morning Jacob woke up everyone and they started walking
they were fast but delila had to stop every few meters as they walk they hear noises of something moving so they decide to wait out they knew that it was too dangerous to get captured by the Japanese, Baahir had even seen the atrocities caused to his people in the hands of imperial Japon
after the sound stopped they decided to keep walking they needed to keep pace they didn't have water and delila was too weak they needed to find water, Baahir volunteered himself to find water
Baahir walked through the dark jungle he feel weird as if something was close but he keep walking forward he end up finding a small Japanese camp destroy and covered in blood and human remains, bone shards mixed with blood and flesh and brain matter in places but no corpses and the guns and money was still there baahir grabs a backpack and fills it with food, water, ammunition, money, and a compass, he notices some weapons on the floor he tries to salvage the weapons but they are damage so he just takes two working rifles and a sidearm and gets out of there as fast as he can
he arrives exhausted and scared but the relief of having resources is bigger Markus and delila are relief grateful but Jacob is scared of the possibility of tigers roaming the area, it doesn't matter say baahir the tigers are probably full Jacob interrupt and say probably but more soldier will arrive and search the area delila agrees and apologize for causing the problems and promise to keep up the pace
some hours later on the ravaged camp, a pair of Japanese soldiers investigate
I think a tiger kill them says Kakashi
no, I think a tiger eat them but someone else kill them answered Hiroki
why do you think that
looks someone looted and shoots were fire
do we go back to camp and inform them of what happened Hiroki
yes let's be quick
Markus separates from the group to pee when he sees between the tree Japanese soldier walking he is terrified and sneaks back to his group and tells them that Japanese soldiers are close Baahir blames himself thinking some had followed him so they decide to move in separate ways and then reunite so in a point in a specific hour so at least one group can scape
