Kyochuu Rettou: Minus One (Male Reader Insert)

Chapter 8: The Rescue/The Boat

3rd POV:

Back to (Y/N).

Whoa, thought it was a nightmare

Lord, it's all so true

They told me, don't go walking slow

The devil's on the loose

Better run through the jungle

Better run through the jungle

Better run through the jungle

Whoa, don't look back to see

Thought I heard a rumblin'

Calling to my name

Two hundred million guns are loaded

Satan cries, "Take aim"

Better run through the jungle

Better run through the jungle

Better run through the jungle

Whoa, don't look back to see

Over on the mountain, thunder magic spoke

Let the people know my wisdom

Fill the land with smoke

Better run through the jungle

Better run through the jungle

Better run through the jungle

Whoa, don't look back to see

(Y/N) and the rest of the group were standing in a flat, sandy area lined with boulders at the sides. The flat area stretches fifty yards side to side and as far as they can see ahead. But that's not what amazes them so. Everywhere, the sand is dotted with monster skeletons. Some are huge, probably dead bodies of monster or dinosaurs. Others are smaller, herbivores of many different kinds. The more intact skeletons lie on their sides, their ribcages arcs of pale bone. But just as many have been ripped apart, bits of carcass tossed in every direction.

Kai: "Look, there it is!"

Kai points his finger over there. In the distance, at the far end of the streambed, they can see the skeletal remains of the workers village looming in the moonlight. They start running, tiny figures moving among the mountainous skeletons by the light of the full moon. As the group run through the dinosaur graveyard, (Y/N) notices the shapes around them are changing. They're not bones anymore at all, they're pipes, the animal skeletons now given over to the lifeless remains of manmade objects—twisted, rotting machinery.

(Y/N): "*What the hell is this...I've never heard boss told me about this place.*" He thought

Naruse: "We made it!"

They hurry over a small rise, and find themselves at the edge of what was once Odo Island's worker village. The size of a football field, the town is divided by a main street that's dotted on both sides by stores, residences, a gas station, etc. all the way at the far end is a large, blocky, four-story building. But the town is a mess. The hurricane that hit here must have been ferocious, for everywhere things are smashed, broken, upended. And the jungle has stepped into the breach, growing up, around, and over everything. Huge root systems snake through the street, making it almost impassable.

(Y/N): "*This place was been wiped out and some others were living here...what the hell happened here? Does that mean everybody else in this island alive or not?*" He thought.
