In the room of the Gate Research Center, everyone in this place looked uneasy.

“So that thing is really so?” ask the commander of this unit.

“Yes, the gate has shifted as far as 20 km from where it came from,” replied his subordinates who still control the aircraft without a crew.

That's pretty fast movement for ‘dead objects’ like the Gate. Even the Gate will approach Belitung Island in half a day.

Many warships of other world forces that ‘guard’ Gate. The number is not yet known, but if seen the number of warships is more than 50 warships.

Evacuation alarms sounded throughout the island which is part of Bangka Belitung Province. Residents who are on the islands around Belitung Island have also been evacuated to the island of Bangka.

The TNI of the Navy is of course working hard to evacuate residents to safety. But the problem is some residents who refuse to leave their homes.

It happened to all the population of Indonesia whose territory was conquered by other world forces. Even some of them could not believe that the otherworldly army did not exist. The number of people who do not believe in the existence of otherworldly forces is not small.

They think if it's just the government's part to get their land for free.

Residents who do not believe in the existence of the Gate and other world troops held a demo at their respective homes. And it is spread almost all over Indonesia.

Of course this made it easier for otherworldly forces to conquer the territory of the inhabitants who did not believe in their existence.

Even the otherworldly forces managed to make the residents expel the soldiers from their territory. They do not even need to spill blood to conquer some regions of Indonesia because ‘doll’ its own inhabitants.

But that does not mean that other areas conquered by other world forces are done in such a way. The otherworldly army had to fight against the soldiers and inhabitants who became an additional force and would surely die easily.

The result was a defeat on the part of the TNI and the population that gave up their territory to the enemy and casualties on the part of the population are not small.

Eventually the inhabitants of the territories conquered by otherworldly forces had to end up being refugees in the territories that the enemy had not yet conquered.

In addition to the uncertain life, they were also overshadowed by a slightly ‘weight battle next to’ between the TNI and otherworldly forces.

The uncertain life here is a place of refuge far from the place of origin and only depends on assistance from the government or philanthropists.

Moreover, the residents around the Gate who live with unease and fear that continues to accompany every day since the appearance of the object.

But it is not yet known whether the Gate is really close to the island of Java or shifted to another island.

This news spread throughout the world because of the events that first occurred since the appearance of the Gate and also never before thought of if this object could move.

At the shooting practice site, Nio performs a real shooting drill with a moving hologram target.

This time the exercise using the system ‘skor’. Soldiers who successfully hit the most goals will get the most points with prizes that are still kept secret.

Of course the one who made this system was the Captain, Herlina. With the lure of the prize that Nio will give looks earnestly doing the shooting exercises he did.

Of course Herlina had other intentions of making this system. Because from tomorrow some soldiers from his company will take training to become Special Student Forces.

Herlina also wants the members to be more reliable in terms of shooting.

“Stop!” herlina's orders were followed by all the soldiers who stopped firing at the target.

“Today's workouts we've had. Please rest with enough. And for the soldier who will be training tomorrow I hope to prepare everything for a day that will probably be the toughest,” said Herlina firmly that makes all the soldiers who will take training tomorrow become excited considering their Captain who is a beautiful woman.

Regarding Herlina's beauty, of course the soldiers became mesmerized towards her. Even Herlina's assertive nature remained gentle according to those who fell in love with Herlina.

Even the soldiers from Company 32 who were still in the underground city of Karanganyar City were also fascinated with Herlina, of course including Surya.

Speaking of Surya, he also oversaw the soldiers' real shooting practice. The goal is because you want to see the greatness of Tania in terms of shooting.

“I will announce the 3 soldiers who obtained the highest score,” Surya said by carrying a piece of paper containing data on the soldier's shooting ability.

“Rank 3 is filled by Sergeant Rio, rank 2 is filled by Sergeant Nio and rank one is filled by Sergeant Tania,” Surya said with the final sentence he confirmed with the aim of proud Tania.

The soldier who scored a little could only let the three of them earn a gift in the form of an envelope each of the three of them received with astonished faces.

“Rio, is this money?” chirps Nio.

“Hopefully ‘cek’ “ replied Rio with a ignorant smile.

“Hahaha, hopefully.”

Tania only looked at the two of them who were laughing small with her typical flat gaze.

“Sekian, please return to their respective places and see you tomorrow,” said Surya.

All the soldiers walked back to their dormitories. But Surya seemed to be talking to Herlina.

Nio glanced towards the two of them before his clothes were pulled by Rio who said, “Don't nguping the talk of superiors.”

“Iya...,” replied Nio in a complaining tone.

The two of them then headed to the long chair provided and sat there. They then tear off the attached part of the envelope and remove the contents in the form of a piece of paper.

“Hey, can I sit here too?” tanya Tania with a flat tone of questioning.

“of course,” answered Nio while shifting slightly to make room for Tania.

Tania also did the same as Nio and Rio did earlier and took out a piece of paper as well.

“What the fuck is this?” nio said with annoyance after reading the writing on the paper.

“Uang, where's the money?” rio said after reading the writing on his paper.

While Tania looks ordinary when reading the paper.

Nio then slammed and trampled on his paper which turned out to contain the greeting ‘happy’ only.

Rio was still looking for the quietness of the money on the paper he was holding, Rio's paper was also inscribed the same as Nio's.

“Damn,” Inner Tania with still showing her flat expression.

Tania squeezed the paper and threw it away carelessly. The writing on the paper is just a thumb picture.

But the attention of the three of them turned to Surya and Herlina who were walking together. Surya looks happy, but Herlina is the opposite.

Nio and Rio smiled cunningly together as if having a plan while saying, “Gas?”

Tania only saw the two of them walking around sneaking towards Surya and Herlina walking.

“I'm coming,” says Tania.

“Eh, seriously?” ask Nio.

“Ya.”

Tania then also followed the two of them without hiding herself at all.

Nio and Rio stopped as Surya and Herlina also stopped beside the dormitory where Nio lived.

Nio and Rio were forced to hide in the garden beside the dormitory with Tania still following the two of them.

Nio immediately pulled Tania's hand to go into hiding so Surya wouldn't notice.

From where the three of them were hiding, they could hear a little of what Surya and Herlina were talking about.

Meanwhile Surya was in a nervous state after successfully taking Herlina on the road with him.

“So, what do you want to say?” herlina asked while looking at her watch.

“Emm, anu...,” Solar looks nervous.

Surya has the opposite nature of his body which is ideal for a soldier.

“Quickly, the bathing of female soldiers will soon be crowded,” Herlina said urging Surya.

Meanwhile Nio saw her brother coming down from the stairs leading to where Surya and Herlina were.

“Nio, why is your sister there?” rio said by worrying about Surya and Herlina if Arunika really met the two of them.

“Sial, he will disturb them both,” muttered Nio who was also worried about Surya and Herlina.

Tania suddenly stood up which caused her to be seen by Surya which made her shocked.

“Se-while are you here, Tania?” surya said nervously.

Moments later Arunika who was walking down the stairs also saw Herlina and Surya.

“Ah, Captain Herlina. Did you see Nio,” said Arunika as if she did not know the situation she was experiencing.

Yes, Tania and Arunika both mess with Surya's feelings for Herlina.

“Tania, why did you do that?” tanya Nio who also appeared with Rio.

“Your brother messed up the situation, I just helped make it worse,” Tania replied with a furnace then went towards her dorm.

Meanwhile Herlina looked again at her watch and then said, “There's nothing else you're going to say right?. Then I go first before the bath is full.”

“Tung--,” Surya did not continue his words as Herlina walked away from him without any sign she would listen to what Surya was going to say.

Arunika looks at Surya with expression ‘don't know anything’.

Nio nervously walked towards her brother, meanwhile Rio preferred to go home to his dorm.

Arunika then pulled Nio's hand and walked towards Nio's dormitory leaving Surya who could be said to be experiencing ‘broken heart’.

Nio and Arunika sat next to each other at dinner and without any more talk.

But there is something different with dinner now, because the menu is the instant noodles fried variant that Nio really likes.

Since Nio is going to head to training tomorrow and maybe he won't eat instant noodles anymore, that's why Arunika cooked this for her sister.

After dinner, the two sat next to each other again. This time by leaning against each other again.

Arunika wants to enjoy the night with Nio before she leaves tomorrow.

“Kakak?” asked Nio in surprise.

“What?” arunika replied calmly.

Nio said nothing more and let her brother clasp his hand even though it felt strange.

“Do you feel like what I'm doing is weird?” ask Arunika.

“Clearly,” replied Nio firmly.

Arunika then smiled and then held onto Nio's hand with both hands.

“Consider this as your good luck charm,” said Arunika while holding Nio's hand with both hands.

Nio looked at his brother's astonishment and said, “Seriously, this is what you call a good luck charm?”

“Let me be like this after you break that promise,” Arunika said as she looked seriously into Nio's eyes.

“Ba-alright, do as you please,” replied Nio while turning his face away from Arunika's gaze.

“Then this can be?” ask Arunika who increasingly makes Nio misunderstand.

She thought her brother already did not know the boundary between brothers.
