💠Chapter 32💠

Snow's POV

We landed safely on the plain ground. Medyo malayo pa ang abyss dahil hindi kami pwedeng lumanding malapit doon ay lalakarin na lang namin ang patungo sa abyss.

Ngayon ay nagsimula na ang orientation. At ipinaalam ang game rules at tsaka binigyan kami tig-isang knapsack na may mga lamang GPS tracker at mga pagkain. When I check the GPS tracker I can see six yellow dots gathered in one place. It signifies those dots as us. Malaki ang pakinabang nito dahil malalaman namin kung nasaan ang isa't-isa.

"This is not a competition who is the fastest and quickest. It is survival game and patience. There is no time limit." Saad ng emcee.

So it could be the task will take few days? Parang hunger games lang ganoon?

"The game starts now!" Saad nito.

Then we all sprinted in a run. I was keeping up my speed with the others. The trees and pacos looks blurry because of our fast speed. The abyss is few miles away from where we landed and if we are going to do the normal walk, it will take us the whole day before we reach the abyss.

We jump since there are huge bark of trees who was slanted or either laying on the ground. Tinitingnan ko rin ang GPS and we are closer and getting closer. We increased in full speed and after a few minutes we hit the ground where the surrounding changed. More on like the temperature went down by few degrees lesser. We stopped immediately. The trees are getting bigger like extremely big, tall and I can't even see the top because of the thick fog surrounding us. The tree bark are as large as ten human forming circle holding hands. Ganun kalalaki ang mga kahoy at ngayon lang ako nakakita ng mga ganito kalalaki at katataas na kahoy. Something like this exist!

The forest is cold but not as cold as winter and I can even sense something off in the air. Something smells like  acid. I can still see paco plants everywhere and some tall grasses. The area seems plain with huge trees and tall weeds, pero hindi naman nakakasiguro dahil hindi naman kita namin lahat since natatabunan ito ng makapal na fog.

"We're here." Saad ni Jin. "Time to split up."

Yuan grabbed my hand and we sprinted north bound at hindi ko na napansin pa sila Luna dahil nasa kamay na ni Yuan ang mga mata ko. Kung date lang sana ito kinilig na ako, kaso we will face death, walang kakilig kilig dito my god. Then we stopped when we are uphill.

I checked right away the GPS and I can see we are scattered. I can see the heart of the abyss where the cup was placed and all of us are heading the same direction but different areas. I was wondering, who the heck put the cup there? Nakalabas pa kaya yun ng buhay?

"We need to walk from here. We can't take the risk to create vast movement." Saad naman ni Yuan.

Tama naman ito. Serpents are sensitive with sounds dahil blind ang mga ito pero deadly ang hearing ng mga serpents dahil malalaman nila ang exact location na parang nakakakita pa rin sila kahit bulag sila.

I am not saying that they are particularly blind, visual impaired but they are far sighted and the moment they will take closer to the object, they cannot see it kaya nga tinatakot nila ang kanilang prey para gumalaw at mag-ingay ito para marinig nila at malaman ang lokasyon.

We silently walked and I tailed Yuan. He looks dashing with this gear. How I wish kung kailan ko kaya makikita itong dugyot? Mukhang kahit dugyot ito ay gwapo pa rin. Ang unfair di ba? Yung iba porma ng porma mukhang dugyot pa rin.

Krrrrooooookkkkkk.....

I bet, it was an owl who howled. I can even hear the sounds of insects like crickets. The paco grass are tall enough that almost reached my waist pero kay Yuan ay hanggang hita lang nito, perks for tall people. Oo ako na itong kinulang sa height.
