Now, we know that the government created a shelter in Yogyakarta city. I want to go there but, I think it again. If I go there and seek protection for my sister, then we will stay the same as we are. This world changed now, the stronger will devour the weaker. The chance we survive if we go there may be higher but as time goes on, we will not survive because the strongest people will dominate this world. The worst scenario is that we will be used as slaves or pawns in war. I can't let that happen to my only family. Now or never!
"Emily, I will talk to Renald and the others. Stay here okay?" Say me after eating the second food can.
"Do you want to go there?" Ask her while still eating.
"I don't want to, that's why I will discuss it with Renald." Say me.
"Don't you want to help this people out?" Ask her.
"I want it too but, your safety is first. And I have other plans too." Say me.
"Please brother, I know I am being selfish but, could you help these people out? I was saved by Hero after all." Say her while looking down stop eating.
Her eyes are looking sharply at my eyes. I know, I have an owe to Renald because he saved my sister.
"Let's ask him first, if he wants to bring these people to Yogyakarta, I will help. But if he doesn't I will not help." Say me after stand up.
"Yeah, that's work too." Say my sister looking at my face with her smile.
"Thanks." Say her again.
Renald is on the stage right now. I walk to him and he walks to me. Does he want something from me?
"Rega, I need your help." Say Renald.
"Bringing these people to Yogyakarta?" Say me.
"Yeah, that's why I go over you. We need to gather together in the same room from before to prepare our plan to Yogyakarta with Commander Ari Rahya." Say Renald and go to the room that we used for a meeting before we hunt Catfish.
"Wait!" Say me while grabbing his shoulder.
"Is there anything else?" Say Renald while turning his body to me.
"I will go after this operation. I mean, I am a Giver. If I seek protection in the Shelter, I will lose my chance to become stronger." Say me looking sharply to Renald eyes.
Renald stays silent, he wants to say something, but he refuses to say it. He closes his eyes and agrees with me. After that, he walks to the room that we used is for meeting before.
I follow him and we arrive inside the room. So, this is the commander that he mentioned before. He has a good shape body. I often go to the gym but, I didn't get that good shape body on me. We still sit on the floor. I think commander refused to use the chair that our president used to meet other nation delegation for the conference Asia Africa.
"I will introduce first to you all, our strongest person. My name is Ari Rahya or to be detail Lieutenant General Ari Rahya." Say him with a bit of bass voice.
We are hearing carefully so that we don't have any misunderstandings and miscommunication about the plan.
"If we pull it from Yogyakarta to this museum. The fastest we can go there is about two days. We need to gather resources on the way too. I hope this travel doesn't take a lot of time. At this explanation, anyone wants to ask?" Say Commander Ari.
we keep silent.
"On the way, we need all power to stop the monster. You are all top-ranked in the Hall of Fame in WEO. I need you all to share your information for people and soldier safety. You will need all these." Say Commander Ari while snapping his finger.
One of his subordinates comes to this room bringing a bag. He delivers a radiophone to each of us. As the internet is down in this world, this is the last communication that humanity has except for global chat in the communication tab system. Why we don't use the communication tab? Commander Ari and his subordinates are not Giver. They don't have the system yet to level up and obtain skills. They are just normal people who try to survive in this cruel world.
"I was sent our scout in the front line. They will inform you of the monster and the characteristics of it to you. After that, we ask you to give detailed information about that monster to us. Is there anyone asking?" Say Commander Ari.
"How many vehicles do we have to take these people?" Ask Eka after raising his hand.
"We have enough amount to bring these all survivors to Yogyakarta. Anyelse?" Answer Commander Ari.
"How many people participate in protecting survivors?" Ask me after raising my hand.
"There are 94 inexperienced soldiers in the field. Same for me, we didn't have experience in real combat. Still, we must protect survivors as our obligation." Say Commander Ari.
"The route that we use is the beach route. Is there any problem?" Say Commander Ari is asking for suggestions.
Eka looks to me, same as Rena and Putri. As reflect, Commander looks to me too.
"Let me think, I think that's not a bad choice. But I recommend that we choose a route with a big mountain or we just can go through between it." Say me.
"I think that's a bad idea because we have many people to bring through the mountain. And second, we hardly can get gasoline on the way while on the mountain. Is there a reason that you think more important about them?" Say Commander Ari looking at me sharply.
I know that this plan is carrying many people. If I don't have enough confidence about this plan, It is just a suicide plan. I look back sharply at him.
"First, sea is a monster nest of Mermaid Soldier. Those monsters have about 34 levels in WEO. We don't know yet whether these mermaids have arrived on this island or not but, there is still a chance that happen. Second, the sea environment is not stable. It would be a tsunami. I know that I am talking nonsense but, dungeons and towers can appear in the deep sea. That can add some volume to the sea and create high waves in return. The third is the most important thing. The mountain is the nest of Orc and Troll. Those monsters are starter monsters in WEO that we can slay easily with our level now. Still, I don't know if the third is going to happen or not because we see Catfish that usually in swamp areas appear in the city." Explain me.
"So, you think about what if it happens right? I give my respect for that. The first and third points do not make any sense because the monster appears in random places but, I could agree with the second point. If there are chance that the dungeon and tower that you say appear in the deep sea. That could create big waves in return. I prefer to die from attack than from natural disaster. How about we use National Street?" Say Commander Ari.
National Street is a street that connects Bandung to Yogyakarta using a road from Banten and continues to South Java Beach.
"We will not use South Java Street instead we will go to Purworejo, Magelang, Depok, and finally to Yogyakarta." Say Commander Ari.
"That could work too." Say me.
"So, the plan is settled now. We will go tomorrow. Please prepare first." Say Commander Ari.
He stands up and walks away to outside this room followed by his subordinate who delivers this radiophone. In the room now is just me and the other hunter group.
"Wow, that tension is trembling me." Say Eka.
"Now I know how soldiers always talk." Say Putri beside Eka.
"Now, now. Let's rest and recover our body." Say Renald.
We leave from room and go to our own space for rest. I meet with my sister again.
"How is going brother?" Say my sister after looking me come back.
"I will join the operation to bring these people to Yogyakarta." Say me while sitting beside her.
"You mention that you have other plans. What is it?" Say my sister while laying her head on my shoulder.
I push her back but she force to do it. As the result, I put her head on my lap and she accepted it. I pat her head gently.
"I am planning that I must get stronger than I am now. If I am way stronger, then we will survive in this new world." Say me while patting her head.
"Yeah, but don't be hard to yourself. If you hurt, no one can protect you after all." Say her.
"Yeah, I know it." Answer me.
I really know that if I die, my sister will be in danger. I won't let you die neither I am. As time goes by, my sister sleep on my lap. I slowly put her head up while I try to lay my body on the floor with my hand as my pillow. I let her head lay on my stomach and we sleep together waiting for tomorrow's plan.
