Survival: Dark, Brutal, Gripping

Day ten: Like Ilha da Queimada Grande

Johan and Ahmad did not come home last night, as they were still held captive under a decades-old big tree. Meanwhile, his friends are worried about him.

"They didn't go back to the tent all night, to be honest, it worried me" Iwan replied.

" In that case, we'll come with you Wan" Selly and Cindy said.

" Come on." answered Iwan.

Selly, Cindy, and Iwan quickly prepare, and leave. But before they leave...

" Selly, Cindy do you still have a little food for the two of them ? " ask Iwan.

" It looks like we still have Wan. I'll see you in a moment, " replied Cindy while checking into her tent.

" I'm sorry Wan, we don't have any food" Cindy said.

" Inevitably we will start again, survival act looking for food for us and them too." Iwan said.

" Before that, where shall we look for them ? " ask Selly.

" Eee seems like these tracks are enough to get us to them" Cindy replied, pointing at the footprints.

" Ooo so they're through here, could it be that they're looking for something ? " ask Selly again.

" Maybe, we better catch up with them. Follow me." said Iwan.

Iwan leads his team on a search mission for Johan and Ahmad. With a hint of suspected footprints, they ventured to walk through the forest. Morning in front of the eyes, the sun began to show its radiance. Meanwhile, Johan and Ahmad wake up with the actual condition is ordinary, even tend to sleep soundly.

" Hooaam.ny was so sleepy" Johan said as he yawned.

" I've never felt the cold when I sleep at night" he added.

No one has surprised Johan or he does not realize where he is now. Then Johan looked around him, he watched continuously. Only then did he realize it...

" Wait wait, I'm not cold even though I'm sleeping where this is, wooy, what place is this." Johan shouted.

Ahmad, who was still asleep, woke up to hear the screams of Johan. Gelagat Ahmad is also not much different, he felt like normal at first.

" What the hell is Jo. You are very noisy early in the morning" Ahmad said, rubbing his eyes.

" You've woken up Mad. Come on get up, it's morning and you might also be surprised to see this." Johan said.

" Haa.what are you talking about is not we sleep in a mattress that is nyam." said Ahmad.

" Eeeh, we didn't go last night looking for the heirloom I threw why did we come here, where is this ? " added Ahmad.

" That's what amazes me, let's get up and take a look outside. "take Johan to Ahmad.

" Well, first help me wake up Jo." pinta Ahmad.

Johan and Ahmad got up and went from where they stood. The place that looked vast was actually a huge tree.

" This place seems like it's a big tree. It's really big for the size of the tree." Johan said.

" How much does it weigh ? " asked Ahmad in a joking manner.

" I guess it's hard enough to make a lot of money" replied Johan who followed the laughter of the two of them.

" But it is very dark here, only a glimpse of the sun through small holes" said Ahmad.

" Good observation Mad." compliments from Johan.

" Thank you Jo, just after a good night's sleep, my brain becomes diluted, sharp eyesight" said Ahmad.

" You don't pay attention to one thing" Johan said.

" What is Jo ? " ask Ahmad.

" Take a good look, we're going around this place, even though you know it's a big tree but why do we kind of surround the square" replied Johan.

After realizing the strangeness they decided not to continue surrounding the place, because it felt futile.

" It is free to surround this place if in the end we know it is in vain" said Ahmad.

" It's free to surround a place that seems endless." Johan added.

Then, Johan and Ahmad looked for a comfortable place for them to stop by, in order to save energy.

" Ahmad, we're looking for a place to sit down" Johan said.

" Ayok, eee here is very muddy, maybe the rainwater that came in here and then pooled" replied Johan.

" Now here dry the soil, and the important thing is safe" said Johan.

Johan immediately sat down without paying attention around more carefully, fortunately Ahmad did not immediately sit down. Ahmad saw in front of them a snake and he thought it was poisonous. He immediately told Johan.

" Wait on Jo. Do not sit there." warning from Ahmad.

" Why don't you like it when I sit down ? " ask Johan who does not understand Ahmad's words.

" That's not what I meant. Look ahead there ! " shouted Ahmad.

" No need to scream like that, what the hell are you looking at" Johan said.

When Johan looked in the direction Ahmad was pointing, he never expected to see the number of snakes just a short distance ahead of them.

" A lot of snakes here, is this a snake's nest ? " ask Johan.

" As you can see with the eyes of your head, that's what Jo is" Ahmad replied.

" I felt dizzy again when I saw a snake, especially in this amount" said Johan who almost fell down.

Fortunately Ahmad was always sprightly, preventing Johan.

" Not fainting in such a dangerous place. Like what is a snake island off the coast of Brazil" said Ahmad.

" You mean off the coast of Brazil in the Atlantic Ocean it is, if not wrong Ilha da Queimada Grande, or the name of the snake island" replied Johan.

" Well that's it, great Jo. Still dizzy , can still think of a difficult name." praise from Ahmad.

" Be quiet, and take me away from these snakes immediately, or I'll pass out." exclaimed Johan.

" Before the snakes approach us one by one" he added.

" Okay, come on but be careful of the fear of tripping" Ahmad said.

Ahmad helped Johan who felt dizzy, because of his trauma since being bitten by a snake at that time. Ahmad takes Johan back to their starting place or where they woke up.

" It looks like the snakes have not seen us Jo" said Ahmad.

" As far as I know, snakes sense existence not with their eyes, because some species they can't see clearly" Johan said.

" If not looking then with what Jo, how do they recognize both the enemy and its prey ? " ask Ahmad.

" From what I've read in encyclopedias and other sources, snakes recognize enemies or prey through body heat. So they already know there is danger if there is body heat from us." replied Johan.

" So they're cold-blooded animals huh." - Ahmad.

" The snake is indeed a cold-blooded animal, hiii imagine holding his scales alone has made me quite unappetizing" said Johan.

" Wasn't that time, we have nature lovers activities early in the time asked to hold the snake Jo" asked Ahmad.

" That's because it was forced to be actually Mad, the original did not dare even just look at the look of his eyes and skin just make me cringe" replied Johan.

Seriate....
