Chapter 6: The Wrong Step (1)
Seven hours had passed since David and Martin had died. The sun disappeared from the horizon, only to reveal a more frightening sight. The moon... there were active explosions on its surface.
No one in the class had a powerful binocular to see what was happening exactly, but they could see the explosions clearly. However, they had more things to worry about.
Important things like survival.
Some people inside the class were sleeping to conserve energy, while others were teetering on the edge of losing their minds. Who could blame them? After everything they saw, it was a miracle they lasted this long.
To top it off, they had been trapped in the classroom for over twelve hours without food or water. Blaze had expected them to tear into each other by now.
Other than them, four people were sitting around the teacher’s table, Alaric, Neha, the professor’s pet, Rico, the second top scorer, and Min, who was filling the seat in Blaze’s place.
As for Blaze, he was still looking outside the window. That tendril-head woman had left the campus after resurrecting David, so it was comparatively safe for the moment. As for David, he had walked back inside the building and no one had seen him since.
Alaric rubbed his tired eyes before speaking.
"We can’t stay here any longer," he said. "We don’t have any resources to survive on and it doesn’t seem like anyone is coming to help us."
"I agree," Neha chimed in. "Staying here is just delaying the inevitable. We should at least stay in the canteen where we can have some food and water."
"I agree we have to do something about it, but leaving is dangerous. You saw what happened to Martin and David!" Rico exclaimed.
