The sound of the Zone door began to close loudly. A young man wearing glasses with a thin body looked a little exhausted leaning against a large rock nearby.
"What is it again?" he complained softly, trying to neutralize his heavy breathing.
He couldn't ignore the pain in his body.
It felt like he wanted to stop time for a moment so that he could rest both physically and mentally who still did not fully believe in the world called 'Universe'.
Just as he rested his body for a moment, he was unexpectedly able to witness the strangeness that felt real happening in front of him.
A large wave suddenly panicked all the passengers who were on a large ship that was now sailing in the middle of the sea.
"Hold my hand. We have to get out of here now!" screamed a girl who had pulled his hand for a moment, and in no time he was carried away following the girl who was able to jump quickly towards the top of the ship she was on.
"Careful!" screeched the young man quite excited by the situation.
"There's no time, it's your own fault for not listening to us earlier."
There was no rebuttal from the young man after seeing the girl's face that looked quite angry at him..
"Sorry. I thought you guys didn't believe me."
"Fool."
Feeling strange about what was in front of him, the young man tried to focus himself again.
Until...
"Damn! What was that?" said the young man who realized that the thing that had just happened was not the thing that was happening right now, but rather a mere flower sleep.
His breathing quickened and it was as if his air intake had decreased.
Before he had time to think about the conjecture that had haunted him, the sound of birds chirping was heard quite loudly around him.
"Arghh ... what is it again this time?" the young man began to pay attention to his surroundings which in his opinion did not give a good sign.
His intuition forced him to return to his senses. The young man immediately got up from his position and took the steps to immediately rush to run from there.
He was sure that the situation he would face would be much more difficult than before.
The rippling sound that he hadn't heard before was suddenly loud.
"Oh my!" he screeched when he realized the waves of water were starting to be felt at his feet.
Spontaneously, the young man climbed a nearby tree.
'The sea... Damn it! Why is this Zone here. I hate it! How do I survive?' Monologued the young man with the name tag on his right chest that read Jet Kyler.
Honestly, the thing he hates is the sea. I don't know why his subconscious said so, although if he was asked about the reason, then it was certain that he would avoid the question because he didn't have the memory to answer it!
Slowly Jet's body shook as he climbed up the tree that most people wouldn't be able to climb.
'What's wrong with me?' Jet monologued quietly trying to control his body which was slowly getting out of control.
Jet took a deep breath.
If before he didn't feel the difficulty of the obstacles he faced, then this time it was the opposite.
His little heart had doubted himself that he could pass this obstacle easily, more precisely he did not expect much in Zone 3.
Nausea was now gradually taking over his body, in addition to his body that never stopped shaking.
Wretched!
That was what he could conclude this time.
The survivors who were supposed to be in the same Zone as him had not been seen as far as the eye could see.
Was this the end for him to survive in the world called 'Universe'. It felt like wishing there were survivors who would help him in this Zone.
He realized that maybe he would be a burden in the Zone, but wouldn't he be useful on the mission he might face?
Those thoughts and hopes are now running through his head.
Could his hopes come true?
His eyes looked up trying to read the time needed to complete the mission that would come in Zone 3.
[47 Hours 55 Minute 15 Second]
'Damn! Why two days? It seems like the time in the Zone is getting longer. Should I target the key to the Zone's door?'
From his position, a cruise ship began to move towards the edge trying to stop at a point that could be said to be a dock.
Jet gulped down his saliva. The memory of his dream momentarily came to him.
Was the ship the same ship as the one in his dream?
Jet carefully paid close attention to the shape of the ship and the writing printed on the body of the ship, equating it to the memories he had.
Until ....
Different!
"Not that number," Jet muttered slightly after successfully remembering what was in the dream with the ship that was just about to stop at the dock there.
Shortly from his position he could see several survivors starting to arrive half-running towards the dock.
Should he get off and follow the other survivors?
Before he could decide what to do, he heard a loud bang 70 meters away when he checked the device in his pocket.
He had gotten the device accidentally on a previous mission.
The intensity of the sound that was previously heard once now began to be heard more than twice, along with six survivors that he could see running towards the ship.
'Is this a trap?'
{Yosephine Out}
{Dru Out}
{Thomlinson Out}
'A Half?'
"That's not the ship you should be on."
In the end, Jet decided to wait on the tree, while monitoring the situation of the Zone until the mission or clue was given.
After ten minutes passed the banging sound stopped. Some survivors ran towards the ship.
'Time.'
Jet took a deep breath, trying to distract himself from the fear that previously seemed to take over him.
'Calm down Jet, you can get through this.'
