Chapter Ten
Save Me from The Void
Souza heard some gun shots coming from outside the house, he looked over the bathroom window and saw a couple standing in the middle of the soccer field. He knew they didn't saw any of them inside the house as he overheard Amalia and Alexa talking in the next room. He walked to them extremely carefully.
He was wondering who those two were? They seemed to be fearless as they were shooting to the air and wasting their ammo; they continued walking in the most careless way until they were shot by someone in the distance. Souza looked in horror how their bodies plummeted to the ground. Someone from another house shot at them.
He was panicking because that was the moment he knew they weren't alone on Pleasant Park, some other team was already there, they were waiting to see who would make a flaw and go outside. The three of them were waiting to see if someone else would show up to claim the loot from the bodies.
Alexa was debating to shoot the killer of the couple, but Amalia argued that they couldn't expose themselves and just wait to see what would happen. Souza was wondering how the world ended up in such state where these player versus player shows were popular that dictated how nations would develop.
He was extremely anxious as the death game was escalating into new levels, more and more players were getting killed, he wanted to check on the tablet how many people were left, from the 100 people who were participating he saw that only 73 were still alive. He wanted to ask for help, he wanted to go back to Brazil and hide from this nightmare, he wanted to create a change but not at the expense of his own life.
"Souza calm down" Said Amalia "We are being haunted, I have a suspicion that we don't only need to be aware of the other players intentions, but also to the people who created this morbid show, we are being hunted, forced to go to the safe area and fight to the ultimate consequence, us reaching here was manipulated by the executives"
"You noticed too?" Alexa exclaimed.
"Indeed"
"When I saw the people being massacred at the hut while we were running away from the barrier, I noticed they weren't automatically killed but rather something denotated" Said Alexa.
"I thought it could be a tracker in the weapons" replied Souza.
"No, is something else. I think we were injected with something when were doing the medical check-ups" Amalia mentioned.
"What do you think?"
"I don't know, I only know there is something in our blood that resonates with the barrier, the barrier itself is harmless, just some light spectacle to create more tension" Amalia mentioned.
"We need to keep moving, the barrier says that is not functioning, so I guess we are stuck" Said Souza.
"We should use it to move to another location"
"Please no, I am exhausted, and is only been 5 hours into the game play"
"OK we stay here for a little bit more, when we get the update, or we see some strange movement we will go on the run to the next point which will be Loot Lake" Amalia ordered her team.
Out of nowhere a bullet went straight inside the room they were hiding, it took all of them by surprise.
Mako spotted them extremely easy, she was standing outside with a big smile next to the corpses of the couple.
"Damn it, I knew we weren't alone!" Exclaimed Souza in surprise.
Mako continued to walk towards the house, she was extremely confidant that she was going in and be with her object of her affection.
