In panic and worry, Hasan quickly pulled Lim out of the smoke that stung his throat. He knew that time ran fast and every second was precious. He lay Lim down with, and with artificial breath upside down, he tried to let out toxic fumes that clogged his friend's esophagus.
"Sorry, Lim! You gotta breathe!" hasan exclaimed in a voice full of pain and worry.
He gave a careful artificial breath, feeling Lim's heartbeat carefully. Meanwhile, poisonous smoke still enveloped the air around them, making the situation even more gripping.
Hasan continued to exhale artificially, infusing all his energy to save his friend. His eyes were attentive and worried, and he would not stop fighting until Lim was safe.
"Come, Lim! Stay put!" hasan said in a soft voice, trying to encourage his friend who was struggling to breathe.
After a while that felt like an eternity, Lim finally started moving his body and coughed loudly. His breathing regained order, and Hasan was relieved to see his friend regained consciousness.
"T. thank you, Hasan," said Lim in a hoarse voice, but filled with gratitude. Lim touched his blue cheek of rescuer.
The risk of smoke ingestion is inevitable, now that toxic smoke is lodged in Hasan's throat. Silverblade quickly hugged him from behind and pumped his stomach, repeating again until Hasan vomited.
Their quick cooperation bore fruit, both Hasan and Lim survived the horrific deaths that once claimed the lives of Mello's comrades.
Lim woke up slowly what he felt when poisoning would not be told to anyone, it was like death.
They walked again, this time Hasan was more careful in stepping because this area is the middle of nowhere that has never been touched by humans.
"The road is down, be careful not to slip." said Silverblade.
Their eyes widened in awe as they saw a beautiful cyan light illuminating the dark room. The light gives a magical charm that amazes them, making them feel like they are in a stunning fairy tale.
Hasan curiously, feeling lucky to have found this scented pool of water. He took a handful of water from the pool attentively. The drops of water that fell from his hands hit the ground and miraculously, the ground instantly turned into a dazzling cyan blue color.
"Wow, this is really awesome!" lim exclaimed with admiration.
"It looks like we found a true treasure" Silverblade said with a smile on her face.
They surrounded this mysterious, scented pool of water, watching the cyan blue light radiating from every corner. The once dark and gloomy room has now turned into a world full of wonder and beauty.
Hasan felt a magical vibration from the water in his hand. He felt as if there was something special about the water, something more than just its visual beauty. He felt that there was a mysterious power contained within it.
"Of course, it's not just light-emitting water" said Hasan sternly, "Try to open your Silverblade mask, and you'll smell it."
Silverblade opened the mask. Even a Silverblade was opiate with the scented smell of the water.
Now Hasan realized that the perfume was not actually apple-scented but only similar to the fruit. Similar to Apple Trauma LP perfume, the water in the well also has a mixture of fruit and flower aroma with predominantly fragrant like apples.
Lim took a selfie at the spot, followed by Hasan and Silverblade who entered the spotlight.
Hasan took out a special water bag to store large amounts of water. About 3 - 3.4 liters.
Silverblade found the lever behind the glowing stone. There's writing up and down on that lever. Hasan forbade Silverblade from touching the lever because it looked suspicious.
Hasan invites Silverblade to put the scented water into a bag made of iron that can be folded up to as small as a stamp. Now they have to work hard to bring out that water.
But because they did not find the way they were lost. They also found a small well that Mello had once found. Lim took the water, put it in his bottle.
After many hours of walking in that place Hasan finally gave up and tried to contact his cell phone.
"Huh? How do you contact him when there's no signal?" ask Silverblade to worry.
"I'm just going to connect my phone signal to another one. Unlike you, I've prepared a way to get out of here if you get lost like now,"
"Remember as we pass through the toxic passageway. Well, I left my phone there to trace its location with a special gps created by Burn Shadow."
Hasan's strategy succeeded in bringing them back to the gas trap, but the guards entered Sink Hole and crossed paths with Hasan's group on the most difficult terrain.
"Damn it, why don't we meet them in the fragrant well room!? It's easier to face them."
Dozens of red lasers touched their bodies. When Hasan and the others thought they had all failed, something unexpected came up.
From the rear of the guard came the looters. They charged the guards and threatened to finish them off if they turned around.
"Haha...! Giant cultural reserves are the best. The president liked it. He let us rule in this place as long as it doesn't make any damage. That means murder is allowed as long as it is not tracked by outsiders." Oceh the man who was the leader of the looters.
The looters repelled the guard forces with a real threat. The confrontation in a narrow place made Hasan and his friends should be pushed back also to the front of the fragrant pool room.
In the spacious half-dark room that the looters disarmed the guards making sure they were helpless in front of him. Iron bottles filled with fragrant water were also snatched away by them.
The leader was surprised to see Korean women become part of the expedition team, he thought Hasan's group was looters just like the new ones.
The plunder chief praised the work of Hasan's group.
"You know how to get through that gas trap already shows that you have great tools. Give me that tool."
Hasan couldn't give his eyeballs away - he quipped that the reason they were able to get through the trap was because of the information provided by the senior looters 50 years ago.
Hearing that the plundering chief suspected Hasan was lying to him, but Lim's presence sidetracked him. The looter chief was attracted to the sweet Lim and placed his hand on the forbidden area of Lim's upper section.
"You're the new looter, huh? Already have a girlfriend yet? If not, you can propose to be my girlfriend tonight. We're having a party over wine."
The looter's looks were decent, but Lim wasn't the cheap woman the looter thought she was. Lim's expression changed drastically from worry to wrath.
