Biohazard's Catastrophe: Death's Hallway

Succeeded in finding it

Worried that something bad happened to the human figure he saw, Ardana decided to come out while sneaking around as well. He crawled with both hands holding an assault rifle. His gaze continued to be fixed on the meaty blob creature that was moving towards him. The person behind it looked ready to stab his weapon. From the way he grasped the knife in his hand it was clear that he was very well trained to use it.

After feeling enough, Ardana changed position by sitting half crouching. His hands were now busy reaching into one of the pouches to pick up a special compressor. Objects that are able to muffle the sound of a firearm eruption are paired on a PINDAD G2 pistol that turns out to be compatible with it.

“This is it,” he said while pointing.

The flesh-clad creature was not aware of the existence of Ardana who was only twenty-five steps away. He continued to roll his elastic body towards the armory. While the unknown figure behind him remained stalking in a position ready to blow the sharp object in his hand.

Claps! Claps!

GRRRAAAARRRHGGH!

The figure finally started first by stabbing his weapon there is the back of the body of a soft creature in front of him. The injured part secretes a blackish-red blood that is quite heavy and quickly becomes an ulcer. The tentacles in his body rebelled uncontrollably and then attacked blindly without direction. The piercing figure immediately dodged easily a few steps back and prepared with his weapon.

At the same time the mouth of the creature was wide open right in front of Ardana who was shocked extraordinary. This young man could clearly see the remains of the innards and fragments of the undigested human head, tucked away on the sidelines of hundreds of sharp teeth the size of an index finger.

“Hmmppff!” Ardana who is easy to vomit reflex closes his nose and mouth. He rushed back to the armory.

Inside, he changed his mind. On second thought, neither the gun nor the assault rifle had the great power to deal with the soft-looking monster but the flesh looked thick. It will take a long time while his own position is almost cornered.

An Italian-made FABARM STF/12 shotgun in an iron box complete with ammunition located in the left corner of the room was a concern. Being locked by a padlock coded Ardana was forced to shoot him, then took all the contents without remaining. With the other two weapons behind the two sides of his shoulders, his carrying weight was now increasing.

GRRRAAAARRGGGH!

The roar of the soft creature was again heard. Ardana rushed out and found that the unknown human figure had continued to walk backwards while continuing to fend off the tentacle attack coming towards him.

“Hey, back off!” ardana shouted while cocking his shotgun.

The dark figure was stunned for a moment, turning his gaze to Ardana who was quite far in front of him.

JDAR! JDAR! JDAR!

Ardana took advantage of the opportunity by releasing 12-gauge bullets from his weapon. The body of the creature in the form of a lump of flesh was almost destroyed with a roar of pain that was quite deafening. This young man seemed unaffected. He got closer and stopped only occasionally to recharge his ammunition.

GRRRAARRGHHIIIIIKKHH!

The tambun monster finally fell with its body shattered. The entire contents of his stomach were decomposed with a heavy and muffled explosion. The rest of the innards and other human limbs that were in the process of digestion seeped with slightly blackish red blood, soaking the floor and walls of the hallway to the tip of Ardana's shoes.

“Ah, here again!”

Ardana tried to cover her nose and mouth again but it was too late. He also had to feel a severe sensation of nausea and vomiting until he almost sat down. STF/12 in his hand was just carelessly thrown into the hallway floor.

The human figure that was originally just standing was approaching Ardana. Both of his hands immediately grabbed the young man's shoulders and pulled him back slowly. Without seeing the face of the person who carried it, Ardana did not try to prevent it. But at the moment of accidentally touching his finger in response to thanks, this young man in a dark green tactical uniform was aghast. It feels soft and smooth, but not just that. There was another sensation from the touch earlier that made him feel like he was with someone close to him.

“Hah, this is a woman's hand?” guess it in the heart.

“If it is not strong to vomit to see such a fast move away!” reprimand the figure with a smooth yet firm voice.

The familiar Ardana let go of her helping hand quickly. As soon as the figure of the person who helped him get away from the mutant creature carcass had come face to face with him, he was shocked. The person before him turned out to be a beautiful girl with a maroon red woll jacket who was no stranger to him. Hair that is straight shoulder-length with bangs sideways to the left, both round eyes that are not so wide but beautiful in blackish red, sharp nose supported by a blushing oval face, it impressed her very sweet yet firm. The Paramitha Armarani Catranata.

Encouraged by a great sense of happiness to find the girl, Ardana immediately hugged her. But the response given by Paramitha was the opposite. Both of his hands tried to drive Ardana away.

“Eh, why?” ask Ardana for confusion.

Paramitha shook her head, “Still had time to do that while we were still in danger.”

“Y—ya... how else? I'm glad I found you. That's natural, right?” kilah Ardana is a bit clumsy. He felt a little irritated his embrace was rejected Paramitha.

Paramitha squinted her eyes. Clearly implied his disbelief with the words Ardana. Although not really threatening and just a fad, his two hands were still holding the family's heritage black cloak and the flashlight was directed simultaneously to the lover's face. Being treated like that, Ardana was getting more confused. Plus a sharp beam of light was directed straight at his face, making him close his eyes tightly.

“If you do it, I somehow lack confidence in your words,” Paramitha said as she looked away.

“What do you mean?” asked Ardan in shock.

No answer was given from Paramitha. Ardana scratched the back of his head that was not itchy while taking another STF/12 that had been thrown a few meters away from him. While he was taking a look at the condition of his weapon to make sure there was no damage, Paramitha turned her attention towards the direction of the passageway that led to the stairs.

“Pak Ilham was furious to tell me about you who disappeared. Just like him, I expected you would definitely come here,” said Ardana. His hands and eyes were busy rechecking the remaining ammunition.

Paramitha glanced at him slowly. Highlight the girl's eyes gave a sign she had her own reasons.

“I just want to look back on everything those people did to me and all the other members of my family,” Paramitha replied flatly.

Ardana fell silent, not wanting to immediately respond. He was more following his empathy to the figure of the girl who made him fall in love with it. If Paramitha wants to tell it more clearly, then the guess of Inspiration about what ever happened to the girl is a reality that must be revealed. It doesn't seem like a hard thing to do, especially since the two of them have a special relationship.

“We will search again together, Neng. But, can we eat first, right? The tense atmosphere from earlier made me hungry faster.”

The truck! The truck! The truck!

In the armory, Ardana and Paramitha choose to temporarily hide while recovering energy. Although not straightforward, the girl also felt a little sore in some parts of the body. Ardana looked relaxed with her hand playing a folding knife while trying to open the lid of a round-shaped food can with a diameter exceeding the circumference of her palm. The thickness of the filling that reaches five and a half centimeters is enough to be divided together even though in the rules of consumption it is written clearly for one person only and eaten twice. It contained chocolate bread and canned cheese that was produced where he worked, which was actually intended for field officers like himself.

Once fully open, the processed bread is solid with melted chocolate and cheese cuttings that are very fragrant greet their sense of smell. Ardana started scooping the first piece still with a folding knife. Because there is no tablespoon of sharp objects it becomes a replacement. He gave it to Paramitha.

“We eat alternately, but you first start. How?” bargained for.

Paramitha. He let Ardana feed the tip of the knife with a piece of sandwich on it into his mouth. The soft texture of the bread combined with the chocolate and cheese flavor that blend makes it a little comfortable. The food was very rarely bought during work. All the results of his hard work are more widely used to pay for costs, public transportation costs or online motorcycle taxis, as well as the cost of daily meals, especially after work. In the midst of an unfavorable situation, his tongue can actually taste the delicacy of sandwich that he thinks is too following the tastes of foreign nations who usually consume processed wheat.

“Actually I have brought this since I first departed from Bogor, fortunately the quality of raw materials allows this food to be warmed many times,” said Ardana while feeding his own parts.

Hearing that, Paramitha sighed slowly. Although impressed attention, Ardana's actions can be said to be ridiculous for such a size. Lucky because the quality of the food is still good he did not feel the side effects are contingent. Moreover, he often heard there were people who were poisoned immediately after eating bread that had been left for days without being touched at all. But of course he couldn't resist Ardana's kindness.

“By the way,” says Ardana, “this place is scarier than I thought.”

Paramitha glanced at Ardana. The young man stared back with a bit of pride.

“I was pessimistic to find you. Moreover, the place that resembles this labyrinth seems to have levels more than one floor down. To be able to get here alone must run here and there, pontang-panting save themselves while fighting as necessary. When I managed to find you it felt like my spirit began to waver so that it became stronger.”

Ardana inched closer to Paramitha.

“As much as possible we should get out of here. And if there is anything you want to find here, as I said earlier, we will do it together,” insisted the young man, trying to convince the Catranata girl.

Paramitha closed her eyes for a moment then nodded. Ardana stroked her left cheek while smiling in response to her sincerity. One additional mission from Ilham succeeded in half he carried out. Just complete the main mission that becomes the burden of the main task.

“I want to be honest something, Dan,” said Paramitha.

“Ya, what is it?” Ardana raised an eyebrow, waiting for the girl to explain something to him.

Paramitha took a breath. This time his eyes became more serious.

“I was brought here before. To be exact, before both my parents were found dead in tragic circumstances up there. Those people took me to some place where they put something in my eyes in between. Maybe some kind of experiment, I don't understand because I was just a scared little kid. What is clear is that the actions they took in that moment changed the color of my eyes to a blackish red, just like you see today. With what happened to me, everything started to change and not as I expected.”

Although delivered with a firm tone, Ardana could see the girl's eyes radiating dark memories. Her hand that was still stroking the girl's cheek now moved down the right eyelid and then rubbed it slowly and gently.

“What is this pain?” tanyanya.

“No, it feels like normal,” replied Paramitha.

“You remember where it was?”

“Still. But it's not very clear because it's been a long time. I met a man named Togar, whose name is mentioned in the memo you gave me. As I remembered, they took me to his room. Unfortunately he was already dead, then suddenly turned into a terrifying creature. It can still attack me.”

Ardana. A little more he already has a clear enough picture to write in his mission report, if he succeeds and is still alive. Again, this is not something he is concerned about.

“We spend first this food just back on the move,” he said while feeding the bread pieces back to Paramitha.

Paramitha agreed by accepting Ardana's bribe. But in the next turn he immediately took over the folding knife which was also used to be the spoon. His face shriveled like less like the treatment of Ardana which he saw excessive worry.

“Let me be able to eat by myself, Dan,” his grunts.

Ardana did not refuse. His smile expanded a little wide watching the girl eat with a little voraciously and calmly.
