Zombie Resistance: The Eagle Team

The Match 10 - 2

The waiting room was suddenly filled with silence. After a while, the host began to make a sound again and indicated that the second match would begin. The existing monitor began to display the scenery that was inside the match room. Inside the room there is a straight path with several obstacles that are ready to block the participants, the first obstacle is a wind minefield, which is a, an area filled with special mines that will emit a gust of wind that is so strong that it can throw people. After that the second hurdle is the balance hurdle, where participants are required to cross a pool of water that is fed by low voltage electricity and the road available is just a tree trunk that is not too big and a little slippery. The third obstacle is a trap room, the participant must enter a room filled with arrow traps, inside the room, which is, participants must hold out for 5 minutes while avoiding the demands of a blunt arrow that is glued towards the participant. The last is a hurdle that tests hand strength and endurance, namely climbing the wall while avoiding a wooden trap that will encourage participants who are climbing from inside the hole in the wall, even though the hole is visible, and there is a, whether it appears or not, no one knows.

“Please both participants prepare and head to the position of each” instructions from the host. After that the monitor screen shows the state of the two participants, the safe ones are Revelation and May. Mei looks to be warming up, while Revelation is watching the obstacles in front of her carefully.

“Alright, then I will explain the rules” said the host “This is a race match, which the participant who reaches the finish line first wins. Usually each participant may interfere with other participants, but especially this time, participants should not interfere with each other and to guarantee the absence of fraud, the, between the two participants were already mounted bulletproof glass, therefore, the participants were only focused enough to cross the obstacles and reach the finish line”

Revelation and Mei nod their heads as a sign they already understand.

“Alright then, I will start again” the host starts his cue “3 . . . 2 . . . 1, Start!”

Without further ado, Mei immediately ran quickly without any hesitation, her running speed making her make it through all the mines right before they exploded.

“As usual! Miss Mei's speed managed to lead her through the first hurdle easily!” cheer the host with the spirit of “On the other hand, the participant of Revelation still noticed the minefield in front of him while thinking of something.

The host's words make Mei look back and see Revelation who suddenly opens her jacket and throws it into the minefield, immediately a mine exploded due to the hit by the jacket of Revelation and the mine explosion triggered another mine and made all the mines explode in turn. Using the mine blast sequence, Revelation passed through the minefield easily.

“Not thought! Revelations and Apocalypse used a mine blast to open a safe path for him, although he only had 3 seconds before the explosion was triggered again, he unhesitatingly passed through the field casually!”

Mei who saw that instantly proceeded to the second hurdle. Mei immediately began to cross the pool that was electrified by using her extraordinary balance, without even experiencing difficulties. After crossing over, Mei did not turn her head to look at the state of Revelation and headed straight for the third obstacle. On the other hand, the revelation took off his shoes and crossed the pond slowly.

While inside the third obstacle, a dark room filled with crossbows that would shoot arrows randomly, Mei focused her entire mind on her hearing to avoid the arrows darting towards her, as a result he was able to evade almost the entirety of the arrow and managed to survive and get out of the room, but saw him holding his right arm for a while as he exited the room, it looks like there's an arrow hitting his right arm. Mei started walking slowly towards the third hurdle while trying to ease the slight pain she felt in order to continue her match smoothly. Mei feels safe because there is a few minutes between her and Revelation entering that dark room and she also believes Revelation must have received a slight wound from that room as well.

By the time May was at the last hurdle and installed a security device, the voice of the host was heard.

With the route without obstacles, Wahyuldam throw the crossbow and immediately climb using a handle made of arrows shot earlier without using safety equipment.

“Participants of Revelation instantly caught up with the miss in a way that has never been done before! But does it not violate the rules for using the tools in the race?! Let's ask Captain” after the host said that, the camera immediately changed to the room where the Captain saw the match

“There are no rules limiting the way to reach the finish line and since the tools used are inside the match room, then no rules are broken” replied Captain Rin firmly and briefly.

“That's said! With the ingenuity of the Revelation participants, he instantly turned the match around!”

Hearing that, Mei immediately rushed, she immediately released her safety equipment in order to climb faster, but with the speed of Revelation climbing, it is likely that Mei could not catch up with him. Mei does not give up and accelerates her climbing speed until she forgets that there is a trap on her climbing route.

As Mei focused on climbing, she did not realize that her right arm was right in front of the trap, when a stick came out of the trap and hit her right arm. It immediately made Mei lose her balance and almost fall if her left hand did not grip tightly, but because her right arm had suffered a slight injury, Mei can only depend on her left hand.

“Wire! Looks like Miss Mei is having trouble!” the show host's slightly frantic shout diverted all attention towards the direction of May ”It seems that miss Mei did not have the strength to restore her footing! And also it looks like Miss Mei is not wearing any safety gear!”

Seeing this, Captain Rin immediately ordered some of the staff to head to the match room to rescue Mei. Everyone's attention shifted from the match to May's safety.

“Sial! I was careless, I didn't think I could make a mistake like this” muttered Mei.

Mei continued to try to find a foothold for her legs, but each movement made the strength of her left hand weaken.

“I've climbed this high, though, I don't know what would happen if I fell from this height” murmured May ”Could this be karma because I underestimated it” May already has no way out anymore, all he could do was continue to hang on until the rescue team arrived, but at the same time, he knew that his hands had started to squeeze. Just as Mei was about to give up, the voice of the host surprised her.
