A THOUSAND TUNNELS CHANGED EVERYTHING
_ Chapter 7_
...(.(.Congrats?)...
Everyone heard it back. Their faces showed shock.
“What are you talking about, you take my hand off, I'm looking for you, luckily they pulled me to their side. And I also saw you step while closing your eyes, I thought you were why-napa” obviously the woman who pulled him.The others nodded.
Meyla was confused. “Wait..I close my eyes?.What do you mean, it is I who do not close my eyes. I am clearly detached from your hands, why now I deliberately let go of your hands” Meyla said.
The woman in front of him defended “No. You let me go in the middle of the road, and I looked for you at the beginning while running, You know, you when I pulled in a state of sleep while walking. What do you mean five men who died. Instead of them escaping, look” pointed at the man who was gathering staring at each other.
Meyla retreated slowly, she could not understand what was really happening, and why it was getting confusing.
“Wait..what do you mean.It's strange, I saw clearly you guys were stabbed, I saw clearly, continue how you guys got away, while there is a knife ready to stab you.”.
“Kisau?.”ucap Someone while raising eyebrows.
“Neng..apa Neng is feverish, because it is too long in the water.It is better Neng rest first, I am sure Neng is exhausted” said a woman who may be forty years old.
Meyla wanted to answer again, but her Parents suddenly held her back. “Already...nothing you need to say, everything is safe, now we will enter the final challenge” said his father.
His mother who was hugging him now rubbed gently on Meyla's face with a smile. After the swab was over, Meyla fell asleep.
-
Furrowing her brows, Meyla slowly opened her eyes. Trying to catch the object in front of him. When those eyes were clear, he saw the current state.
His eyes were not allowed to rest, instead being made even more tired. Before the eyes, the wall barrier opened and closed in a slow but deadly manner. And in it again there is the same thing. And deeper again visible writing Tunnel with the number THOUSAND.
Meyla who was sitting on the wall, now got up to everyone. He saw that the people who were here were about twenty. he remembered that when they arrived escaped from some missions and argued with the woman who pulled him, the number of everyone was about forty. but why now the remaining twenty more.
When he approached everyone. People keep their distance from him. He feels confused. And also people did not want their voices to be heard by Meyla.
Seeing this, Meyla again confused herself, she had wanted to ask, but suddenly a big wave appeared before her eyes. Everyone is screaming. They retreated and looked for a gap to return.
“Why we are not allowed back to Tunnel”
“What should we do now, it looks like these two Tunnels are the same"
Hiks..hiks.... “We should not part, but we follow the same tunnel, why should we part”
“True.....What happened exactly?”
Meyla heard it wanted to immediately find an answer. This time he woke up again separated from his parents, and again these people who were with him, not the same people he approached. He remembered that the people with him were a little calm. But now these people were more panicked than him.
When the water hit the wall that became the mission. It's getting closer. And again in an instant the light went out. Water can be felt. Meyla wanted to look for a wall that did not knock her down, but there was nothing she could reach at the moment.
And suddenly someone hugged him again. From the front and put his chin on his head. Meyla was shocked and immediately pushed. But suddenly his breathing stopped, Water entered his mouth. He has difficulty breathing and tries to go to the surface to find oxygen. But it felt futile. The more it rises, the more the water rises.
His breathing began to run out, but suddenly he was carried by someone and swam quickly to the surface. Closing her eyes, Meyla felt like she could breathe air again. And opened his eyes slowly.
Shocked that's what happened, he was surprised he returned to his original place. Where he woke up from his stupor. And again the people this time were different, they were the ones who were with him and arguing with him. Not the people he first met.
And again, these people were waiting for him. And want to greet him immediately.
“Is Neng okay?"
“Really...if it is still difficult to move, Neng can kok I gendong” Said the Woman he just had an argument with.
“No..uhuk...no need” Meyla said while waving.
The others breathed a sigh of relief. They are focused on the mission in front of them.
Someone asked. “How about this Mission?”
“Then you look around there are four” replied someone else.
“What you guys found hints”
“No....we see now more difficult to find a clue stop this wall stop”
“hmmm”
One woman continued
“Any...why water is not here.what water will come or indeed not”.
Hearing those words, Meyla stood up and immediately shouted “KALIAN...FIND SHELTER, NOW WATER WILL COME” is not finished he saw everyone's reaction, Water came like a wave ready to hit.
Everyone panics but it doesn't make you dizzy, so you can help and direct them to be safe immediately.
“Now temple walled. Hold your breath, it looks like the water is not deep. And hold each other”
Everyone was holding each other, holding their breath together. Until the water hit hard. Makes them almost separate because of the water.
After waiting for a moment. Everyone returned safely. They finally calmed down a little. And look at the water that is now only as waist as they.
“Huh...thankfully not as deep as we think” said one Woman.The other nodded.
Meyla on the other hand, was still confused. And again the mission in front of him there is something strange. Because the light that was supposed to be red, now is red, yellow and green. Linear. It was obvious that it was a traffic light.
Meyla looked around. Check the closed walls. ‘This wall seems to be only open by something, the field is rough, able to scratch the skin’ his mind.
Finished he checked, his injured left hand touching the area of the wall that became the barrier.
“All back off, don't touch this wall, the wall contains glazing” Meyla said. Realizing that his hand was injured not because of the roughness of the stone, but the roughness of the glass that was buried in the wall.
Everyone followed what Meyla said. After that, Meyla also observed the traffic lights that now the color leads to yellow color. Seeing this he retreated.
The one who was pushed was shocked. “What are you doing, you want to kill me?” he said with an angry tone.
Meyla ignored him. He replied when the lights returned to red.
“THE NEXT THING YOU GUYS”The sound resonates and continues with the sound of the walls being firmly closed. Enough to crush a small stone into flour.
The remaining people were also speechless, fearful and feeling that their lives were threatened.
“No need to fear. I'm going to get you out, this time I don't want anyone to cheat on me again, you guys after I've escaped the first mission. Go pack next. If you can not escape, wait for I” he said while observing the traffic lights are still red.
The others were silent, but they marched in front of Meyla waiting for her encouragement to escape.
After a long wait, the light moved towards yellow and before long, the green light was on. As the walls quickly opened, Meyla again used the force of her arms to push the five people together, they swam quickly. Because now somehow the water began to rise.
Waiting, pushing. He did it repeatedly. His heart ached a little. Because he still has to find the real answer. But this time the mission was a little difficult. There are four walls to be crossed. And the water is rising.
-
After everyone had escaped, Meyla quickly caught up, but had not yet escaped the red light was already on, she turned her eyes, wanting to retreat but someone pushed her from behind.
Meyla realized it turned around and saw clearly the woman arguing with her had still not swam through the first mission. And again I have to help him.
Shocked and confused, Meyla reached out wanting to pull her body quickly. But somehow something made it hard to move. Meyla kept pulling, trying as much as possible to let go of what was stuck there.
But the red light was bright. The woman in front of him smiled and said with her mouth in the water. Meyla wanted to retaliate, but at the moment they were submerged in the water, it was hard to breathe. What else helps him if he breathes. Meyla refused to let go of the woman.
The woman pushed Meyla's hand hard, trying to get Meyla to leave. And not for how long.
Mm-mm.....
The body is broken, the hands are still holding you, blood is spouting everywhere. And his head bowed with his short hair. And before long, his finger slackened your grip.
Meyla's eyes were completely blown away, her mouth breathing in. His lungs did not receive air from the water. He immediately choked and tried to climb up. But somehow the woman's hand in front of her still holds her hand. Strong and do not want to let go. Like hoping to escape again. Meyla was no longer anxious to hold her breath. And unable to hold consciousness.
His eyes blinked trying to get up, and upon seeing from what was there was being watered. He saw someone's hand helping him. Hugged him and lifted him up quickly. Meyla felt her body rapidly lift up.
After a few moments of silence, he got air again, and then he could see more clearly with the circumstances. And the one who pulled him seemed to disappear in front of him, while behind him was another woman who kept him from drowning.
“You all right?” tannya
“I....uhuk...all right...”bala Meyla.
After he felt his body move, he broke away from the woman who helped him.
“Thank you, you helped me” Meyla said.
“I?..I am actually also confused why I suddenly lifted you, even though I have long swam to the front” explained the woman who helped him.
“ooh yes...continue...who lifted me from the water?” Meyla.
The woman in front of him did not respond at all, and again the woman swam forward leaving him.
Meyla was not paying attention either. He was already grateful to the woman, so there was no reason for him to ask for more explanation.
Looking down, watching the situation. I want it to feel like Meyla came down and saw the state of the girl who was willing to sacrifice herself for him.
“I owe you one, hopefully when we meet, or when I get out of here, and it works. I'll pray for you to calm down” Meyla's mind and then swim after the others.
-
Arriving at a crowd, there were about five dozen people in existence. Meyla counted people's heads to figure out how much was lacking.
“Tadi.ada twenty-five people, now why are there fifteen people” his mind.
Meyla wanted to advance, but somehow, the people in front of her moved forward quickly. Her speed was strange, making Meyla startled. He's backtracking, totally backtracking. Not following the person in front of him.
“They...they're like no, man” Meyla's mind.
After he had completely balanced himself, he swam while looking at the situation, seeing it in the water not too deep, if he dived, he could still reach the bottom. Just when you want to look deeper.
Appears the face of someone who is withered with messy hair due to water. His eyes shrunk to see this, like a surprise but not happiness. After seeing the face that passed through it. Meyla raised her head and faced forward. Suddenly changed the mood.
Someone gathered to come to him.
“Neng..we are waiting for you, you are very long following us” said the woman who is about twenty-five years old.
“ enar...we think you're okay..ooh yeah you remember the girl who argued with you, where is she?” Ask A Man.
Meyla heard this, immediately looking down to find the passing head earlier, but when she saw it. The head does not exist.
He replied “Sorry..I caused the woman's death”Everyone was immediately shocked.
“What do you mean, you didn't cause death, we just wanted to find him, because when he passed, we waited for you, but then it didn't last, he just disappeared. We think he swam first.and we've been looking around for him, there's no him”.
“Hah!” Meyla looked back, and she found that the wall she had been away from was right behind her.
Meylac quickly retreated, he directly bumped into someone. And the man held him back from falling.
“What's up?.” ask them.
And before long, someone shouted from behind them.“HEY..HERE, HERE THERE IS ANOTHER WALL, AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE TO QUICKLY PASS THROUGH IT”
Everyone rushed to go to him. And don't forget to drag Meyla who's still dumbfounded. He looked back and wanted to make sure he was there. When he was away, a bunch of half-body pieces appeared with his head intact.
Seeing this, Meyla wanted to tell them. But he was pulled and dragged quickly, making it difficult for him to speak. Because the water he always met went into his mouth.
