SURVIVORS

Chapters 278. Earth?

Once their bodies pierced through the light, they re-entered the long, dark passageway. Their bodies felt as though they were being pulled and sucked up strongly.

"Get a tight hold!" shouted Dean.

His other friends began to expend extra energy so that the hand grip Dean and Sunil did not come off.

Eventually the five men managed to strengthen their positions. Their elbows are hooked and locked onto each other. The group that formed the circle oscillated to the left right and sometimes hit the wall of the worm hole and then ejected violently. Then get pulled again.

"How much longer do we have to get through this? This worm hole is much more terrifying than the first one" Alan said.

"Yes, my body hurts all" Michael complained.

"What exactly are we holding on to like this for?" ask Alan again.

"For we are not separated. I'm just worried that this worm hole has branches. Then we separate into different branches of space and time. Then to meet again, it must be harder."

Dean explained why.

???

"Foolah. Your reasons are acceptable."

Alan added again.

"But it would be nice if you were straightforward. Just tell me you're afraid of losing me."

"Tck! It's disgusting!" said Michael.

"In this situation it's still a joke" Sunil grumbled.

"Pppffltt... hahaha...." Alan laughed happily to disturb his friends.

Others can only shake in the darkness.

"We don't know how long we've been like this. Than to die of boredom." Alan defended himself.

15minutes passed.

"Ggrrroookkk...."

"Is this what I thought? The bed-maker who doesn't know a place?" said Alan.

"Dean, it's better for Sunil to be put in storage first" said Michael.

Dean, "How do I know which one is Sunil? Dark like this."

Alan opened his palm. A little red light flashed for a while, then it went out.

"It's Sunil on my right" said Robert.

"Let me keep it" he continued.

"He's on my left. Okay, I'll let him go" Michael said.

"I've let go!" said Michael.

Robert stuffed the sleeping Sunil into the storage room.

The circle is cut off. Michael reached out to Robert in the dark.

"I got you. Bend your elbow Robert," said Michael.

"I'm here" said Robert in the distance.

"Whose hand am I holding?" michael asked confusedly.

Alan instantly lit up again the fire in his palm, directed to the origin of Michael's voice.

"Well?!" michael screams as he sees the skull drying up next to him. He immediately let go of his grip.

"Who's life is that?" ask Michael scared.

All speechless. Various thoughts filled their heads. Is there another teleport door connected to their path? The traffic hit hard and died.

Or perhaps even more terrifying. The teleportation exit at the end of there was closed. So they're just gonna stay in the worm hole forever? Then it becomes a dry skull like that one?

"Gruesome!" said Michael.

"What if this teleportation destination door has been closed?" ask Alan.

"Don't suppose it's that horrible, Alan!" sergeant Michael's pissed.

"That could happen...."

"Robert!" michael shouted irritatedly.

"My gear can be broken you're screaming!" robert protest. Michael is on his right.

"Hushhhhhh! If you want to fight it, a little friendly why? Let it be good to hear," seduced Alan.

"Ehemmmm...."

Deheman Dean stops Michael who still wants a fuss. They're waiting for what Dean wants to say.

"I think we're still being pulled in one direction. So, there should still be one door of purpose open. And we're heading there."

Friends silence. They agree with Dean. Their bodies still felt sucked tightly in one direction. I hope it's a better world.

Half an hour later.

"I'm hungry" Alan said.

"I'm thirsty and hungry" Michael continued.

???

"Haha...."

The laughter of the two blared in the hallway of the worm hole.

Everybody noticed. A small bright light was seen at the end of the hallway.

"That's our goal. Get ready!" exclaim Dean.

They can now see each other's faces. The hallway was no longer pitch-black.

But, the closer to the door of the light the wider, the more difficult they are to get closer. It was as if there was a swirling wind protecting the exit.

"Stay holding!" dean shouted trying to beat the noise of the wind around.

"We have to use force and go as fast as possible. Or we can never get past that wind barrier!" Robert said his thoughts.

"Let's try. Our goal, the middle of that light!" Dean agrees.

"On the count of three!" said Alan.

1... 2... 3!

Wuuushhhh!

The four people darted quickly, flying across the wind rounds around the exit.

"Girlinapp!" shouted Robert.

Wuuuusshhh....

"Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh...."

Their screams echoed due to the thrust of their extremely fast incision.

"Brukkk!!!"

My waist.." - Michael complained.

"Akhhh shit! Puih...! Your shoes are right in my face!" Alan pushed his leg out of whomever fell on his face.

"Can you guys come down first before nagging?"

Robert felt his body crumble. He became bumper of his three friends when he landed.

"Dean?" call Robert.

He didn't hear Dean's grunts after they fell.

"Dee!" call Alan. He hasn't heard Dean's voice since either.

They broke away from that ambiguous falling position.

Krakk!! Krakk!

An iron with two holes was directed at their faces. Back there, the stiff face of someone was staring coldly.

Robert was the one who understood the situation the most quickly. They're being strapped to long-barreled rifles. He doesn't know that type of weapon. But if you look at the dark clothes and the equipment that person is wearing, they should be security.

'A 'grape? Have we returned to Earth?' thought.

There was a sense of joy wrapped in worry in his heart. His friends who have also been armed. Robert looked at where they landed. He finally understood.

No wonder they got caught. The teleportation exit turned out to be in one large, closed room. That is, the inhabitants of this world have known the existence of the teleport door. And guarding it is like guarding the border of the territory.

Someone spoke on his radio in English.

"There were four people coming in from door 5" he reported.

"Bring it here!" answer the voice across.

Dean, Alan, Sunil and Robert looked at each other. A hint of hope appeared in their hearts. They were convinced that they had returned to earth. Just don't know what country it is in. And it's possible that this teleport door is under close military surveillance.

Alan wanted to open his mouth, but Robert shook his head. But Alan doesn't care.

" officer.... I'm so thirsty. Can you give me some water?" ask Alan.

Bruk! His body was struck with the handle of a weapon in response to his question.

"Aduuhhh, sick.... You're so mean." Alan grimaced with the pain in his back. A hint of red glint loomed in his eyes.

"Don't do anything first. We'll see who they are and what they want." Dean alerted through voice transmission.

"okay!" replied friends.

"Sit in the line!" the orders of one of the men who put a gun on him.

Dean, Robert, Michael and Alan woke up from their lying position. Then sit properly and side by side.

Their hands were tied to the back. Then they were searched. They didn't find anything on Sunil, Alan and Dean.

It was Robert's turn. One of the uniformed officers found a commando knife that Robert had kept on his waist. She confiscated.

"Hey, that's mine!" robert protest.

Plakkkp!

One rough hand landed hard on Robert's cheek.

"Arghhh. Cough!"

Robert spat out blood from his mouth.

"Robert!" michael cried with horror and pity.

"Bring them!" shouted someone who had just opened the door of the room.

The four friends were pulled to their feet and pushed to walk to the door.
