Ardana opened her eyes slowly and found herself covered in Paramitha's maroon-red woll jacket. His hand touched his back to make sure his bruising condition began to improve. What he felt was a little stiff. He got up and sat down on the edge of the bed with both legs pulled down. His position was directly opposite Paramitha sleeping in a sitting position near the door of the room. Lean on one of the glass vaults next to it. The girl's hand was clutching the diamond necklace that Ardana had seen when they went to Karanghawur Village. It seems that Paramitha always carries that precious thing wherever she goes.
“What time is this?” he asked while glancing at his watch. His dialed screen showed the number eleven passing out of forty-eight minutes.
He sighed while taking his kevlar helmet. Hours later, he was trapped in a tense situation and is now trapped with Paramitha. Never imagined it could happen. The burden that must be borne now there are two at once.
“Have you been this night? Mr. Ilham and Bu Nina must be worried about us,” muttered later.
Putting back all his combat gear, Ardana did not take his eyes off Paramitha. There was a sense of pity as that beautiful face implied the exhaustion she felt so deeply. Also remembered when he and Ilham came to the tomb of the parents of the girl who was not far from the remains of the Catranata family mansion. I don't know if Paramitha knows about it or not at all.
Although his back condition had not completely improved, carrying three long-barreled weapons at once along with ammunition and other fittings was not a problem for him. After all it takes to get out safely with Paramitha. Just in case, he used Sako Rk.95 to give Inspiration back. Now he approached the girl and tried to wake her up.
“Neng, Mitha? Sorry to wake you, but we have to walk again.” he said in a soft tone. Paramitha's left shoulder was shaken slowly.
The girl's forehead shriveled for a few seconds. Finally both of her beautiful blackish-red eyes opened little by little. Ardana is ready as ever with a kevlar helmet and a gun in hand.
“Dan? You... how about your bruises?” he asked while rubbing his eyes and then yawned stifled.
“Yeah, little. If you obey the pain, we will not be able to get out of here immediately,” replied Ardana.
Paramitha yawned but was held with the back of her left hand. Although still sleepy, because it's time to leave inevitably he has to wake up. The next unpredictable tension will probably actually keep him awake until morning.
“This, put on your jacket again. Thanks for the simple blanket,” said Ardana while wearing the girl's maroon woll jacket back.
Paramitha replied with a sweet smile. While the young man picked up the emergency light and turned it off, he tried to open the door of the room carefully while peering outside.
“Maybe we can bring this light.” Ardana handed the emergency lamp in her hand to Paramitha.
“For what to bring?” ask Paramitha without refusing. He accepted it despite a bit of astonishment.
Ardana smiled with a mischievous expression. “It's okay, baby if left out. Still good to use at home,” us.
Hearing Ardana's reasoning, Paramitha closed her eyes for a moment while sighing. In a situation that is not siding with them the young man can still do actions that seem inappropriate even ridiculous.
“As far as you are,” said Paramitha. He's wearing his diamond necklace back.
The door to the small clinic room opened slowly. Ardana precedes the exit while pointing a weapon in both directions of the passageway with great care and caution. His eyes shot a sharp glare in the direction of the red dot in the center of his weapon. Once it felt completely safe, Paramitha followed. His right hand again held the black crib just in case. The two walked down the left lane opposite to the direction they had come before.
As Paramitha said, the path led them straight down the descending path with rows of stairs in large numbers. Ardana had calculated there were about two hundred more because the time needed to decline it was quite long. That also includes the condition is a bit slippery and wet by something that he does not want to know whatever the liquid form. Both are going deeper and deeper underground.
Atmospheric tension began to smell when Ardana realized the walls on their left and right there were blood stains quite a lot and extended dotted. And along the new line were scattered many bodies of soldiers scattered in full wrought uniforms and weapons in hand. Some have been damaged by being eaten by something characterized by very severe gerogot scars in some parts of the body.
Ardana held back a few moments. In his shadow, there are fears that all the bodies will rise when passed. He looked at Paramitha.
Taking a deep breath once, Ardana turned her eyes back to the front.
“If they live again, how? I do not know what the rest of my bullets are enough, if faced with bare hands it is not necessarily able to.” His tone sounded anxious. He checked the remaining bullets in several ammunition pouches that filled almost the entire front of his body.
Paramitha did not. There is also a point said by Ardana. He had already seen for himself how Togar's corpse had suddenly risen then turned into a monstrous mutant creature then attacked him. No one really died there.
“We can't possibly go back up there via the same path, Dan. Inevitably, we must continue to explore this area while looking for another way out,” he said without turning his head. Without asking for approval he went ahead first. That of course made Ardana flabbergasted and then followed.
“Ya, yes. I understand,” his hisses. He tailed again while re-cocking the weapon. Debiting the girl will not lead to a proper solution.
His gaze alternately turned to the front and every corpse they passed by, sometimes turning the body backwards. Just to make sure that no one lives anymore. The worry that was starting to grow disturbed his mind. The sound of a layer of dried blood mixed with a puddle of water that he stepped on sounded like footprints stalking them from behind. Ardana almost thought that one of the bodies had risen until he opened fire blindly.
THE RATATATATAT!
The sound of a barrage of firearms that were very close to him made Paramitha turn her head quickly and put on a vigilant motion. He was back in front of his face. As soon as he realized there was nothing, this girl glared sharply at Ardana.
“Ardana! You're all right, anyway?” reproofing.
Ardana had not had time to say, from the front came a heavy thumping sound and treading on something wet and dragged. Both look there. The dark-covered gaze made them take a careful step back.
THE DUGG!
Srreeee! Srreeee!
Ardana and Paramitha both know, the sound is too heavy for an adult. The most fattening human being up to hundreds of pounds would not even be able to do so.
“Quick! We're back upstairs!” whispered Ardana restrained while holding Paramitha's hand.
THE DUGG!
The same voice sounded from behind, precisely in the row of descending stairs that they passed earlier. Ardana held her breath for a moment with her jaw strained. Now he knows his position and Paramitha is back.
His act of blindly firing a weapon earlier seemed to wake up something that dwelled down there.
