22 Eps.Punishment

Krrrieeet` A loud shrill voice echoed in the pitch-black meeting room now. The atmosphere grew even more sinister as the guard robots made rows with red lights from their eyes. All of them stared at everything in a faint smile. Soon he took a long breath.

"Dark...." Calling slowly. Zam with physical and inner wounds stared at the origin of the voice with sadness. His face was full of bruising wounds that were bleeding. In the pitch black when it was invisible to each other. Only the flaming red lights of the guard robots alone could still make it look and appear vague. Zam could only think, this was the end. But fate says something else.

"You, and your fellow members are a special team of twentieth-century intruders. I've promised the others to prepare a special gift for the twenty-something team that infiltrated and this is the end. "Semu said steadily. "You will feel exile on the island of Poveglia, Italy. "Semu smiled before continuing. Zam raised his face.

"Then, when the black plague invaded European soil, many diseased people were burned and buried on the island of Poveglia. In fact, if you knew half the island was once covered in human ashes. "Semu took a deep breath before continuing her story.

"It is said that there are many legends and ghost confessions of plague victims that still surround this creepy island. Some claimed to see strange lights coming from the island. Others even admitted to hearing moans from the island. Eventually local fishermen refused to fish near the island because they were afraid to dredge human bones later."All smiles.

"But no one ever knew that our Red Eye Army had found a dark village deep within the island. A village filled with deadly aura. We named the village Abu Death. Because the people in the village were their predecessors were the burners of the black plague. Almost four years over they worked as a corpse burner, unpaid, even fed, not in the slightest."

"Do you know what they're eating?" Semu asked with a piercing tone. Zam quickly shook his head.

"Corpses, yes, they ate the bodies. Their cannibal souls are growing up to now. You're..Zam will brush there, along with the villagers of Abu Death." All laughed wide. All the meeting participants now just smiled as they looked at Zam, imagining it would be baked, cut into pieces, eaten together by the villagers.

Semu waved his hand while turning over. "Enter him through the earthquake portal, maybe it can make the meat smoother before it is cooked by the villagers." They laughed softly.

A small blinding light instantly appeared on the ceiling of the meeting room followed by a small vibration that spread in every inch of the room. Little by little the light in the sky grew to form a huge portal hole and followed by the tremors of the increasingly large earthquake, making the falling items from the table float.

"Prepare Zam, your sender has arrived!" Semu smiled steadily in looking at the gigantic earthquake portal before him. The great vibe around him was simply ignored. His eyes reflected the glare from the portal, his countenance looking elated at the arrival of the portal.

"Tie off Karasu! Let him fly into that portal!" Semu turned to look at Karasu beside her.

"Zenzen, my lord..." Karasu immediately pressed a few buttons on his watch. Within a split second the chain bonds in Zam's hands and feet were quickly removed. The zam that was right in the middle of the portal was immediately thrown deep into the earthquake portal that covered most of the ceilings of the meeting room.

Arriving at the end of the portal his body was thrown into the air and in an instant the bright portal closed and disappeared. The darkness and coldness of the night were felt as he fell loose into the dark forest at night. Seconds by second passed very quietly. Zam had already thought about his perfect death.There was no more pain, no more burden to bear.

'Brukk, pyarr'

The sound of him falling to the edge of the river was flowing quietly. He just felt the place he fell down softly. The thick scent of burning corpse ash wafted from his nostrils and made Zam frown and immediately stare around. His eyes immediately rounded large as he looked at his surroundings and what was beneath them. Something that made him land comfortably.

Bodies, bodies everywhere. Zam who was shocked and disgusted could only move part of his hand and his feet could only tremble without moving an inch. The pain from Puma's punch made his body ache. Coupled with his body shaking and crashing into the rocks inside the earthquake portal.The pain was pounding and attacking his entire body.

The smell of corpses and burning ash made his head dizzy. Zam moved his legs and hands again, trying to make himself normal again. As a noisy voice came from behind the bushes a mere ten steps away from her lying down.

The panicked Zam immediately closed his eyes.Hand and his trembling legs covered him in silence.The voice approached. The footsteps that came slowly made Zam break out in a cold sweat. Not just one, it sounded like three people were coming to him. Zam's body was shaking violently.

"You saw something strange about this corpse, didn't you? You said you just heard the water lizard right here."One of them with Italian which is understood a little by Zam.

"Oh, I really heard it."

"Buona, maybe you're right because this corpse is whole and more colorful than the other corpses covered in ash. Can we take him? I think this corpse tastes better than any other corpse." The others answered while piercing Zam's stomach with the blunt stick he was carrying.

Zam could only stiffly extend his every move when struck with a stick to his stomach. His gaze had already blurred and his body had grown weaker. Zam, who, though not fully understood what they were saying, was certain that soon it would be their food. The people of Abu Death Village were like them.

"Dai, let's take him to the village! You pick up the bodies let me clean up our tools."

Zam suddenly fainted when one of them touched him and lifted him up. Unknowingly, from one of the big trees beside them someone watched with his black clothes.The person immediately went to follow the villagers of Abu Death Village by sneaking around.
