Biohazard's Catastrophe: Death's Hallway
Other Secrets
As Ardana predicted, the eighth truck contained something. It's just not an iron box like the previous two trucks. A rectangular container of the same material and wrapped in black coarse cloth coincidentally bounced out when the explosion occurred. Some points on his right side appeared to be damaged by hitting a protective layer of panzer steel not far from the truck.
In order not to burden Ardana who had to bear severe injuries to the right ear, Paramitha was willing to drag one by one the boxes they found. Everything was placed in front of the young man who just watched without saying a word. Secretly, Ardana was deeply saluted by Paramitha's faithfulness and tenacity which seemed more prominent than ever. Although it was a bit difficult due to how heavy the three items were, the girl did not complain at all.
“Don't force yourself so, Mitha. Everything is too heavy for you to carry yourself like that,” he said.
“I didn't bring it. I will drag him before you,” Paramitha said. He's got the last of the goods from inside the eighth steel box of the truck.
Ardana shuffled a few jengkal to open every item that was found. He does feel quite disturbing pain in the right ear, but he still wants to do everything quickly and neatly. In addition to hunting with time, mutant and undead creatures that inhabit the underground area of the Sirnasurya Forest that can at any time appear.
This time he used his long knife to forcefully gouge out the second box. When it starts to get overwhelmed, Paramitha takes over and finishes it easily.
“Try to see,” said Ardana curious.
The second box before them opened slowly while holding their breath for a few seconds. It also has a file like the one in the first box. But the number is more and separated into three subfiles. Each sub file is encased in a transparent, high-quality, different-color plastic map. To the extent that there is also a kind of polymer safety fastener added. At first Ardana underestimated him and opened it carelessly with her bare hands. As a result he almost added a new wound to his palm.
“It is the intention of the person who makes this kind of security,” he said while grimacing wagging his hands.
All the binder made of polymer in each sub file is finally cut with a knife. After that, they checked the whole thing. Ardana began to frown as her eyes began to sweep through every piece of writing in the first sub-file, sheet by sheet. The first part of the document in the second iron box contains the development of a secret biological weapons project that has been initiated by the Dutch East Indies government since 1937, when the shadow of the Second World War began to haunt the public. Decades later, when Johan Facturia won the presidency, the project continued, along with its efforts to promote Indonesian military power both visible and exhibited in state parades and confidential.
Ardana's heart was pounding more and more as she read the second sub file. One of the top secret weapons projects being developed is an experiment on a human subject. People who are the subject are closely related to the rise of kidnapping cases that are often not known to be clear, or those who disappear in some places such as mountains and forests. It is also said that the victims who were kidnapped will be implanted with a kind of laboratory engineering virus and brutal elements of life that have existed for thousands of years in the world. There is no attempt at restoration of the subject to return to the human figure in its entirety, unless it is annihilated. At the end of the explanation is listed the philosophical reason for naming the secret weapon development project, which made Ardana and Paramitha surprised.
THUS, WE CALL THIS SECRET BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT ‘SANDEKAL’, WHICH IS A TIME SHIFT BETWEEN DAY AND NIGHT IN SUNDANESE MYTHOLOGY. THE SUBJECT WILL TURN INTO A NEW LIFE EXISTENCE THAT CAN BECOME A DEADLY WEAPON IN BATTLE WITHOUT HAVING TO USE BULLETS AND WEAPONS. THEY WILL SEEM SO STRONG, AND FROM THERE THE VICTORY OF INDONESIA IN THE FACE OF ANY CONFRONTATION WITH THE SURROUNDING COUNTRIES WILL BE REALIZED.
Ardana shook her head, not thinking through while trying to digest the contents of the second sub-file of the document before her. He also recalled the Glock 41 pistol with ammunition that had a light blue projectile in the first iron box. He suspected that the weapon was one of the tools of destruction of experimental subjects.
“This is crazy, very crazy. Those people...how could they think like this?! So, all this time the missing person cases that are often reported turned out to be something terrible?”
This young man turned to Paramitha, looking at her fixedly and firmly.
“It looks like I'm starting to understand why your extended family was targeted for extermination. Starting with the clues we found at Aunt Marni's house, the more clearly they know about this. But, it is also possible that your ancestor named Adriaan Willem did not keep any records related to the strange biological phenomenon in his time, even if it really happened,” he concluded.
Paramitha said nothing. The new reality that he had discovered at this time had already begun to show the truth. In her heart, the Catranata girl hoped that all the dirty accusations against her extended family would be wiped out with the evidence.
Paramitha flinched a little and then took turns staring at her lover's face and the third sub file that was thrust upon her.
“Why should I open it, Dan?” ask her with a frown.
“Open it. Your turn,” replied Ardana calmly.
With her hands slightly raised, Paramitha received a map containing the third sub file.
BLEGGAAARR!
A violent explosion suddenly emerged from the direction of the monitoring building, accompanied by a thick plume of black smoke that gushed from every window there. Ardana and Paramitha who were both surprised said nothing. Both understand that it is a sign to go back to trying to save their lives from the dangers that will arise.
“Ardana,” says Paramitha restrained.
Ardana nodded then hugged the girl, soft and tight. “I understand. Take it easy, although the opportunity to run is very small but we can still hide,” whispered later.
While tightening his embrace, his eyes were looking for something that could be used as a place to defend safely among the rows of military operational vehicles around them. A Komodo Rantis (tactical vehicle) with a fifty-caliber M2 Browning machine gun that still looks good and soars into the air becomes the center of his attention. The position of the front facing directly towards the monitoring building is very profitable.
Ardana's words that made Paramitha seemed reluctant to escape from the young man's embrace. There is a charge of emotions that are so deep and able to touch the recesses of his heart, arouse fear of loss and want to always be on the side of the young man who managed to seize his heart.
GRRAAAAAARRRH!
The roar of the mutant creature that still has not appeared forced Ardana to take off her embrace, although she still wants to do so in order to provide calm to Paramitha.
“You just hide in the troop carrier near the Komodo car,” take him while holding Paramitha's hand to an ANOA APC (Armored Personal Carrier) vehicle which is right next to the Komodo Rantis.
At the rear of the armored vehicle in question, Paramitha immediately released Ardana's handrails. “You yourself how, what do you want to do alone so?” tanyakanya.
Ardana was silent for a moment. “I'll be fine, if I'm stuck I'll come with you. Now, go inside!” his order while opening the rear door of ANOA vehicle in a hurry.
