In the middle of a discussion with Commander Ari beside our truck...
"Can we still carry these survivors? I see that we lost two trucks before I sleep." Say me.
"You're right. While you sleep, we discuss that we can use the citizen truck to carry these survivors while we on the way to Yogyakarta." Say Commander Ari.
"So that's it then, Can you give me some water Commander?" Say me while smirking.
"You are a bounty hunter now, aren't you?" Say Commander Ari while raising his right eyebrow.
"I won't let you hire me for free you know?" Say me.
"Haha... That's make sense." Say Commander Ari.
He leaves and searches the water. I feel a bit funny giving an order to the Commander. So, this is what you feel when you have a high position. I hear a small laugh beside me. It's not from my sister but from Rena.
"Are you having a problem? It seems that you daydreaming on your seat before you got here." Say me with a gentle voice.
"I just feel a bit different. In my country, we usually use alcohol to party than this cup of noodles." Say Rena.
"If you come to this country earlier than this incident happened, you will see a unique culture." Say me.
"Unique culture?" Say Rena confused.
"We usually save some of the noodles in our kitchen to be aware that if we don't have things to eat then we can eat the noodles we safe." Say me.
"What a unique way to survive." Say Rena.
"You can say that." Say me while smiling.
It looks like my little princess already slept on my shoulder.
"Can I let my sister in this truck?" Say me to Rena.
"I will say yes but, our leader still enjoying that party." Say Rena while pointing to Renald.
"You say that enjoying? Forced is the more perfect word to explain that." Say me.
Renald is forced to smile because he needs to keep his hero image for people.
"That must be hard to become him." Say me while looking at Renald.
"Hard? Is it not the other side?" Say Rena.
"Just imagine, you are being adored by people, forced to become what people want, not knowing what yourself is, and living what the other people think. That's a hard lifestyle." Say me.
"You are correct in other ways but, you are wrong in other ways too." Say Rena.
I don't continue what we talk about. Rena recognized it and found a place to sleep in the truck. This is night time after all. I carry my sister for a while and change my position to lie on the floor. After that, I let my sister sleep on my stomach. I don't need this party, let the other people enjoy it. I am more enjoying sleep than doing that thing.
After a while, my body jumped from the floor. I am surprised, What's going on? While I am still in my half-sleep, I recognize that we are on the way. It seems my friends and my sister who were sleeping before got up.
"What was that!?" Say Eka while yawning.
"It looks like we are on the way and this truck stepped on a rock or something." Say me.
"This is the worst way to sleep." Say Renald with an annoyed tone.
We wake up and see outside knowing that we are traveling at fast speed.
"Are you wake up already?" Say Commander Ari on the tank behind our truck after recognizing we woke up.
"It's still dawn?" Say Eka after seeing the sky.
"Don't think to sleep well on this truck." Say Renald.
"Yeah, that was the worst way to wake up." Say me.
"Haha... I apologize for the bad ride." Say Commander Ari while laughing.
After that, Eka, Renald, and I jump on the truck and sit on the head part of the truck. We just stay on there and watch the scene. Yeah, the scene of the Giant Crab walking. I wonder if that area got tsunami.
"It looks like the arc one is come." Say me starting the conversation.
"I feel like, unreal..." Say Eka while looking at Giant Crab.
"At least our base is in Yogyakarta not in East Java." Say Renald.
"By the way, is there no coffee?" Say Renald again.
"You say it now, I usually drink coffee while streaming." Say me while remembering that I was drinking my coffee back before this incident happened.
"Want to go to Adventure for coffee?" Say Eka to us.
"Hey! Commander! Want some coffee?" Say me out loud to Commander Ari behind our vehicle.
"Yeah, would you?" Say Commander Ari out loud.
At that moment we jump from the truck and search the nearest store that contains coffee. We find it, there are some ration too but, we can't bring it because we don't have enough space.
Click*
What's that sound?
"If you don't want to fight over us who are Giver, raise your hand up and throw away your weapon." Shout Renald while seeing the brand of coffee.
There is a sound of people putting down the thing. Suddenly, a man is coming from the bathroom with two children still inside the bathroom while peeping at us.
"Please, leave my child alone. You can bring me on exchange." Say that man while he trembling.
We are just speechless and keep silent. The atmosphere is tightening. No one speaks. Eka looks at the children sharply and they are scared because of it. After that, those children go back inside the bathroom. Renald throws the coffee and walks over to that man. The man looks scared.
"Can we just, don't scare them?" Say me with my plain face.
"Oh come on! This is a rare chance to become a bandit because of misunderstanding." Say Eka a bit disappointed.
Renald stops his step. He takes his radiophone and calls Commander Ari.
"Is there any space for one father and his two children?" Say Renald.
"We always welcome another survivor." Say Commander Ari.
After that, we all keep silent. After a while, that man braves himself to ask.
"Are you here to save us?" Say that man while still trembling.
He is a heroic person to sacrifices his life for his children. I respect him for acting tough in front of his children while he is actually trembling inside.
"You can calm down, We are with the Indonesian National Armed Force. We will bring you to our group." Say Renald.
That man kneeled down and cried.
"Finally, there is someone who comes to save our life." Say that man.
Renald tried to pat his shoulder but, those children shouting.
"No! Don't you dare to touch my father!!" Say the little boy there.
He is running to his father followed by a little girl behind. The little girl hugs her father and the boy stands in front of his father to prevent Renald from touching his father.
"What a cute act, that's remembering me of something in the past." Say Eka.
"Don't be nostalgic for heroic things if you want to act like a bandit before." Say me while looking at Eka with a plain face.
Eka grinned.
"Sigh* We can just bring one box of coffee." Say Renald.
Are those coffees really that important? I want to say it but, anyone has their out of personality. I think he is just a coffee addict with a great heroic personality. However, he still sees coffee as more important than saving people.
"I think, Eka can bring those kids. I can bring the coffee box." Say me.
"No... We will take those coffee sachets on our shoulders." Say Renald while looking at us.
Eka and I look at him like "Really?"
He is really a coffee addict.
....
"You still bring those coffee along the way you carry these people?" Say Commander Ari.
"Let's talk about it with that coffee addict." Say Eka while pointing to Renald with his finger.
"Before that, I will bring the small stove that I have." Say Commander Ari while going inside the tank he rides.
The man introduces himself as Tegar Adi, he is an Awakener that awakens from a sad incident. We leave the man and his children to Putri and the others while we continue sitting on the head part of the truck while Renald searches for water and a glass to use.
"Is it fine?" Say Commander Ari after being carried by Renald from his tank. Commander Ari brings the small stove along with the pan.
"That's all we have so, I don't really complain about it." Say Renald.
The head part of the truck is really wide enough. Our truck is a bit different from the others. While the other trucks are the long version, our truck is the wider version. The truck's length is about seven meters but the width is about five meters while the other truck has length around 15 meters with three meters wide.
After we gather together, we start setting up the stove. The sun is rising, the cold wind blows through our body. We enjoyed the talk about WEO and the other things while waiting for the water to boil up.
"How's your travel to this country?" Say Commander Ari while looking at Renald.
"Not really much fun, I am inside the airplane while the incident happens." Say Renald while looking at Commander Ari.
"That must be hard to travel around monster." Say Eka.
"Huh? So that's not long after you saved me?" Say me.
"You didn't know that in France, the incident already happened while in Indonesia got that incident after I arrived at the airport." Say Renald while looking at the pan that almost boiled the water.
"You are not much like from the western." Say Eka.
"I am mixed between my father in France and my mother in Chinese." Say Renald.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to ask you about that big thing." Say Commander Ari while pointing to the Giant Crab walking around at a very slow speed.
"That's what we called Arc Monster." Say Eka.
"Arc Monster?" Say Commander Ari.
"Let the pro explain it." Say Eka while pointing me.
"You owe me to serve coffee." Say me.
"Okay, I am really bad at explaining a thing." Say Eka.
"Sigh* Arc Monster one, the title name is Giant Crab. There are many around this world like in Spanish, Caribbean Sea, Chinese, Korea, and the last is Madagascar. This monster has a habit of gathering each other in a group. (The water boils up and Eka takes that pan to fill the cup in front of us. Renald sips the coffee with Eka while I and Commander Ari focus on what we are talking about.) The stats of Giant Crab are around 5000 each of its stats. That has a big health bar too. We can kill it by throwing a bomb inside its mouth because this crab has no inner organ except 1000 hearts to overcome its health regeneration. That was written in the description of this Crab. There is another description that tells the story of why these crabs are really big." Say me before I sip the coffee.
"So, what happens if we can kill them?" Say Commander Ari after taking a sip of coffee.
"We will continue to Arc Two, There are Eight Arc as we know it from the game but, I don't know if the last update they keep it, increase it, or decrease it." Say me.
"They?" Say Commander Ari.
"There are admins that created this game but, I don't really have much proof that they created this incident. They died after the last update and no one is alive that has a connection to this game such as workers, programmers, owner, etc." Say me while sipping the coffee again.
The other two just listen to what I say and not much talk about it because they already know what happened.
"How about we don't kill it? Is there any time limit?" Say Commander Ari.
"There is no time limit but, the game is updated after we all players kill the crab in just one day." Say me.
"It's like our world is conquered by AI right now." Say Commander Ari after taking a sip.
"Nah, I don't think so. The monster we slain didn't burn to ash. The body is still there on the ground. That was an important proof that this incident wasn't involved by AI." Say me.
"What's your opinion if we keep that monster alive to prevent the second arc from coming?" Say Commander Ari.
"That's a big problem because we don't know if the Giant Crab already gathered together in a group what they can do. But, if you ask me the safest arc I will choose the Arc three." Say me.
"Why?" Say Commander Ari while sipping the coffee.
Renald seems to drink all of his coffee in his cup and he boils up the water again. It looks like he wants the coffee again. He asks if we want the coffee again or not. I just give him a thumb up followed up by the other while I continue my explanation about the arc.
"There is a monster arc called Abomonius Intelligence. This is not exactly what you called a monster because we will come to the Sci-Fi age because of this arc. The prologue about this arc is about the woman lost in shape and time because of the quantum verge mechanism universe." Say me.
Eka's sudden laugh makes the coffee spit out a bit from his mouth. Renald is smiling but covers it while Commander Ari looks confused.
"The quantum what?" Say Commander Ari.
"Don't mind it, I do not understand either what I am talking about." Say me.
"In short, that woman is still alive but in a data shape. She will carve the system and control us around her command. The purpose of this is because she wants a peaceful country to control." Say me.
"Is that just a dictatorship?" Say Commander Ari.
Don't realize the sunrise is beginning. We stopped talking and enjoyed the sun. We just go a half way and we need about one day to finish this travel. We strengthen our relationship because of battle. Coffee and friend to talk is the best way to enjoy your life.
