The sun was now above our heads, and it wasn't the only thing above. I hadn't moved an inch since the start of this so-called game, especially not, me who was surrounded by my natural predators.
Above me, the drone stared at me without moving, I was a lost cause, it wasn't going to have any fun with me.
Behind the trees, a hundred meters from here, voices were already rising, groups were going exploring and rivals were arguing.
- Let the strongest stay ahead
- refueling is every man for himself
- But you're the first to steal what we find.
- That's because I'm your elder and the leader of this group, said the oldest of the group.
Ray and Oh Lee led their group like a pack, half searching for food and half building a makeshift shelter.
- Hey Moon, do you want to join me, Kang whispered
I nodded in approval.
- So stay here and make a shelter, I'll see if there's anything here, Kang said, rushing into the forest.
I stayed there watching the group forming, and kept an eye out, but back off, I don't want to end up as a leisure activity for the others, not again.
Kim Young, she had already established herself, quite obviously we only follow people who are confident in themselves, right?
She ruled over her little people, as she always did with me, but this time it was Ji-yun Woo who was isolated, I don't pity him, but unlike me he even attracted allies without opening his mouth, like a fire that attracts insects
-Let's make an alliance, arms laden with fruit followed by two others at his rear
- No, Ji-yun Woo affirmed without even looking up.
But they still sit down next to him and share their fruit.
To show everyone that in his games, or even in life, I was no more than an extra at the back of the room.
Only 20..., I whispered lost in my thoughts
- So Ki-moon, called by Kim Young, you're going to stay here for a long time, you can join me... We'll do it like in the good old days.
- No thanks, I'll stay here.
- damage, we wouldn't have been able to have fun. By moving away from me
This is way too easy, she doesn't usually give up so easily, but I'm not going to complain.
The weakest always try to hide behind the strongest, which is something we always forget and that a predator always plays with its prey before eating it.
Most of the undecided, a bit like me, were being chased away and losing their food, the hunt had begun, the Lee were leading the dance, they attacked all isolated people and made sure to monopolize the food and had demarcated a forbidden zone.
I have no illusions, not strong enough to be a threat, not strong enough to attract allies, the last and obviously, the perfect sheep sacrificed
The sky was turning golden
I expected more but the atmosphere was rather calm, the groups were established, and everything-
- YOU ASSHOLES, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, WHO CAN FORBID US FROM PICKING IN THIS AREA, HUH, YOU PICKED UP EVERYTHING ON THIS SIDE YOU'RE SICK AND THE OTHERS, IMBECILES, shouted at the top of your lungs the oldest of the group
- You don't talk to me like that, if you're hungry, go back into the forest, it's simple, Ray Lee said.
- I am your elder, that is the respect we taught you, give us back the life you stole from us, said the oldest of the group.
- Me? Did you see me stealing from you? I don't even see why I'm wasting my time with you, Ray Lee breathed.
- WE SHOULD ALL GET TOGETHER AND TAKE ACTION AGAINST THIS KIND OF GARBAGE, ELIMINATE IT, oh Lee shouted
- Shut up, vigilante, you're the trash here, get out and sort this out somewhere else, Kim Young said with a sneer.
- No kidding, the older one whispered, returning to his group, let's take the first group, we're going into the forest, and I swear to you, you little insolent, to educate you when I get back, pointing at Ray Lee.
He answered with a simple shrug and the mischievous smile of their eternal tail.
Followed by their drone, the oldest group disappears behind the thick trees.
HAAAAA!
A shrill cry reached us, barely had they left when screams of agony came from the forest.
And that's when the whole scene was broadcast to us, on each of our drones, the images were broadcast to us...
As if the traps were clever, they let them venture deep into the forest, leaving them with as much food as they could spare, so they let their guard down and dove in headfirst.
It was the daughter of the oldest, biting first into one of the fruits
- Ummm, it sow …. Huhuuuu…. UuUhuuuu…..
collapsed to the ground with foam coming out of his mouth followed by several spams and immobilization
The group instantly panicked, the oldest one stood frozen in front of his daughter's body.
- We have to... We have to take care of her, carry her, we go back to the beach
One of them, much too panicked, tried to slip away from the group from behind, barely taking a first step when the ground opened up beneath him.
He ends up stuffed on metal spikes, pierced like a colander.
HAAAAA!
The weakest one didn't hold back, he had to get out of here, he rushed forward but triggered a trap and took an arrow in the right eye, stumbling backward and ending up just as skewered as the previous one.
- STOP MOVING YOU FUCKING ASS, shouted the older one.
Pushing the third to its end, while stepping back he activated a trap which connected the two trees behind him, releasing a trunk covered with sharp points which released at high speed tearing off the top of his body and continued his course towards the old man, but he was lucky to be at the feet of his kneeling daughter
They were exterminated, was it a trap or a stroke of fate?
