The City Of The Dead
Chapter 10 Guests Not Invited
Teo and the others began to split up to find maps of the campus area and several other important things. The faithful Clara carrying Garfield with Alwi went to the second floor.
Alwi pointed his arrow bow forward as a way to keep watch. Agasa and Teo walked down the hallway on the third floor.
"There's nothing here, except just the leftover garbage from the massive damage." Teo saw some rooms that were messy, dusty and smelly.
"Stay alert, I do not want to be a meal of The Unknown," said Agasa. He remained on standby with his Crossbow.
"Professor, come here." Teo entered a room. He saw a human skeleton sitting on a chair.
"And you'd better take a look at his position," pointed Agasa to a sign on the table.
"Rector? That's very surprising." Teo opened some drawers belonging to the skull.
He found a DSLR camera that is still intact and well maintained.
"I also found something. More precisely something that can upgrade our weapons" Agasa said.
He found a safe made of solid steel.
Teo tried to turn on that DSLR camera. He pressed the on button, hoping there was still battery power left. While Agasa uses an old technique to break into a locked safe with a stethoscope tool that he carries in the backpack.
"Is it still alive?" Ask Agasa.
"No, the battery's dead. Shit!" Teo was very disappointed.
"Just keep the camera, maybe we can use it for something someday" Agasa thought.
The safe opened. Agasa opened the safe door.
"Then how do you turn it on? Do we have to create another battery?"
Ask Teo.
"Do you know the king of the modern world? What do you think?" Ask Agasa.
He saw so many bars of gold and some cash stored in the safe. Agasa immediately put all the gold bars into his backpack.
"Money?" Answer Teo origin.
"What do you think I'm holding right now?" Ask Agasa.
He showed himself holding a pack of hundred thousand bills.
"Money is useless when there are no valuable items to exchange. It's just a medium of exchange, not a treasure." Throw all that money on the floor.
"Then what?" Ask Teo again.
"Energy, renewable resources. For example, like electricity" said Agasa.
"You're thinking about building a power plant?" Teo's astonished mind was mixed in confusion.
"What do you think the Arc Quantum Reactor is? It was an almighty power energy generator! It can provide a continuous supply of electrical energy with unlimited quantities in one region in a large country" explained Agasa.
"It takes time to make it. Can't you create something that we can use in the near future?" Ask Teo.
"certainly exists. We can make a simple battery. Pray that the campus has a chemistry lab room" Agasa said.
The two of them finally exited the rector's room and headed to the second floor.
Elsewhere, Alwi and Clara found two maps inside the archive room of the directorate building. They immediately took it and returned to meet Teo and Agasa.
Between the two branches of the passage from the direction of Alwi and Clara, as well as from the direction of the stairs where Teo and Agasa were descending, there was a person standing carrying a long iron spear with a spiked tip.
His face was shattered, his right eye was covered by a lump of flesh from part of his face. His body was so fat and contained, but his skin looked rotten blackened like reptile scales.
"A–, what is it?" Ask Agasa who stopped his steps.
"The other Unknown," said Teo. He immediately pulled out his katana.
"Alwi stop! Prepare your arrows" said Clara. He took the flare gun from its sheath placed on the belt.
Alwi pulled the bowstring. He mounted horses to prepare to fire his arrows. Agasa has also directed his Crossbow towards The Unknown.
Teo tried to hit The Unknown with a small stone.
"What are you doing!" Agasa's whisper was so upset.
"Fishing, provoking, or whatever it's called," Teo replied.
The Unknown turned towards Teo. He grimaced and raised a long barbed spear that reached five meters in length. The creature immediately threw its spear towards Teo.
WHOA!!!
Teo and Agasa immediately dodged. Agasa immediately rushed to run back upstairs and was followed by Teo from behind. The spear throw owned by The Unknown was to make the wall collapse.
The two immediately ran away to the fourth floor. The Unknown follows Teo and Agasa up the stairs.
"Sister, we have to help them!" Alwi.
"Quiet down! We need a plan to defeat Gilgamesh. Right now we're looking for something that can be used outside the building. Brother saw there was a faculty of chemistry and also machinery. We need a bigger weapon to cut it into pieces" Clara said
The two of them immediately descended towards the ground floor and ran towards the chemical and machinery faculty building.
"Why do you call it The Unknown under the name Gilgamesh?" Ask Alwi curiously.
"Because he reminds me of Gilgamesh who was in the history of the state/city of Uruk in Sumer. He was a hero in ancient Mesopotamian mythology and a major figure in the Epic of Gilgamesh" explains Clara.
The two of them immediately searched and fro the chemical and machinery faculty building.
"Dead-end! It's a dead end!" Shouted Teo who was so panicked.
"Teos! It's coming!" Shouted Agasa while shooting 2-5 silver arrow bullets towards The Unknown's face.
"The bullet just melted? It doesn't burn to ashes?" It looks astonished.
"It seems, the higher the rank of The Unknown, the higher the endurance of his body," thought Teo.
"You want to fight it?" Ask Agasa.
"Are you crazy? I can split in two if I get hit by the thorns from that spear!" Teo Say.
"Then what should we do?! Behind there's only a wall!" I started to panic.
The Unknown Gilgamesh took the horses to throw the huge long iron spear towards the two of them.
"Review, Professor!" Teo's eyes widened.
One huge spear with sharp thorns around its tip burst into flight towards the two of them.
WHOA!!!
"Professor! Snuggle up and stick to the wall!" Teo's orders.
BRAK!!!
They both immediately reached the wall. It was seen that the big spear hit the wall at the end of the dead end until it was destroyed and made a big hole. The spear was thrown out and stuck in the asphalt road.
"God! We almost became ground meat!" Said Agasa who was relieved.
YARRY!!!
The Unknown Gilgamesh screamed so loudly that it echoed throughout the building. He took a run to run towards the two of them.
"Oh, No! He wants to run here!" Shouted Agasa.
"Professor, jump!" Teo immediately jumped from the fourth floor into the lower canopy on the ground floor.
BRAK!!!
"Aw!" Teo fell asleep. Fortunately, he had only minor injuries.
"Jump!" Shouted Teo from below.
"It sucks!" Agasa took a run to run. Behind him, Gilgamesh had already started running and was starting to approach Agasa.
The old man jumped up and fell on the canopy. He soon descends from the top of the canopy with the help of Teo.
"My spine feels crushed" complained Agasa.
Soon after, Gilgamesh jumps past Teo and Agasa. He landed on both feet.
MOMMY!!!
the surrounding asphalt road instantly suffered cracks and was damaged instantly.
"Professor, meet Clara and Alwi! I'll hold The Unknown here!" Shouted Teo.
He took a katana and a spear belonging to Clara. Teo held both of them in both hands.
"Stay alive until I return" Agasa said.
He soon left Teo and The Unknown alone.
"It's time to die" Teo said softly with a small smile.
