บททั้งหมดของ Submerged Land: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

“Hey, Nat. Long time no see. Well, from your side actually.” He grinned. I propped myself onto my elbow and winced in pain at the bruises on my back. Trei saw my struggle and chuckled. “Hang on. I’ll get it for you.” He says as he reached out behind me and pressed a button on the side of the bed. There was a buzz as the bed started to incline just enough for me to be after to see my old friend.Well, my ex-friend.But at the moment. It seemed like the fight between us never happened because I was just too happy to see a familiar face here with me. “Is it really you?” I asked. “I am not dreaming, am I?” I asked as I reached out to pinch his cheek.Trei slapped my hand away with a laugh as he returned the gesture. “You know that is not how it works. Silly goo

The afternoon training went by without a hitch and Skyr no longer bothered me after that. Moreover, it felt like he was being conscious of me because I kept catching him sneaking glances at me.As I was preparing myself to leave, Eva grabbed my arm. When I looked at him he pointed at Skyr. “The general wants to talk to you.”I looked at the general after that to see him flinch when our eyes met. Then he started to look away with his arms crossed as if Jack was more interesting to look at. Then he frowned when he saw Jack pointing a finger at him and laughing. I saw Skyr gripping his teeth and cracked his knuckles before heading over to beat up Jack.I looked back at Eva with a raised brow. “Are you sure he wants to talk to me? Because right now I feel like he wants to turn Jack into a pulp.”

I missed this. Missed the annoying blabber of the students in the campus. Miss seeing the sight of these wanna be popular rich kids as they marched down the hall. I might even be losing it, but I have to say that it was nice smelling some unfiltered sweat and body odour. I swear in Atlantis, it is all about cleanliness that even if your armpits are sweating under your suit, it won’t even smell. Right now, I am wearing some plain jeans and a white shirt and couldn’t help but miss the fancy white suit from Atlantis. It feels more comfortable to wear than my current outfit. But right now, for the sake of this mission - mine and Rachel’s first mission - I will have to bear with it.“Ugh!” Rachel almost gagged when she came out of the girl’s bathroom and shivered as she sprayed alcohol all over her hands and her purple sleev

“What was that thing?” Andrew asked as he looked at the back of the truck once again, where the metahuman was sleeping soundlessly. After we were able to subdue the metahuman, we all leaped out of the window. The boy, Andrew, was pretty shocked and scared at the fact that we were able to jump as high as the gymnasium windows. Byron had to carry a struggling Andrew as Skyr had to carry the meta. Rachel and I were the ones who opened the window after we did some basic cleaning in the gym. Then I called Jack and gave him our location as we hid in a narrow alley until they came and picked us up. Along the way, we made a detour and transferred to a truck that could accommodate us all. Duke and Falco were the ones in the front while the rest of us stayed at the back and sat on the cold metal floor in two lines. Grey, Jack, me Skyr, and the meta frog on one side while Eva, Vie, Andrew, and Rache

“Have you guys been to another sector before?” I asked and then Falco pushed my head down on the floor just as a bullet zipped past my head. I looked back at the spot where the bullet met with the wall and saw a patch of red. I gulped.“You won’t even live long enough if the general finds out about you slacking off during training. Remember what he said earlier?”I nodded. “If our squad loses then he will throw us in a water with Byron’s Megalodons?”“You guys called?” Just as we mentioned his name, Byron suddenly appeared behind Falco, making him scream. Dozens of laser pointers were suddenly aimed at us. “SCATTER!” Falco ordered as we scrambled to our feet just to dodge all the paint bullets that were being fired at us. I jumped and hid inside
