10 Squad 3 members guard around the village as ordered by Nio. They had previously visited the stalls where the residents had gathered earlier and did not find any residents there to leave the stalls open without guard.

They then decided to tour the village of Kwangsan.

The atmosphere of the village became quiet, except for the sound of cattle that had not been fed. But the entire village is not yet known where to hide.

They finally found a more common building called the Village Chief's Office. It is also seen that hundreds of residents of Kwangsan Village are in the building.

But that does not mean this place can accommodate all residents, some residents may still survive in their respective homes.

They then split into two groups.5 people guarded the village chief's office and the rest patrolled around the village.

Meanwhile, Nio's group tasked with pursuing the 3 otherworldly warriors who escaped inside the teak forest was still trying to find a trace.

“We must spread, but not too far. At least in the distance I can still see you,” said Nio softly but can still be heard by all members.

The whole group nodded in unison. After that take out a small container that contains paint. Then color each face with a green and black striped color according to the state of this forest.

This group has not immediately started the operation that Nio named ‘capture another world monkey that was released’. Because painting a face colored blotch is a thing to do for disguise. Because it blends with the surrounding atmosphere, troops who paint their faces and wear a fleeting uniform will not be seen. Reducing the likelihood of the enemy being known.

All members have finished all preparations, including painting their faces and putting knives on the end of the barrel of the rifle and putting grass on their helmets as additional camouflage material.

Nio gave the order to advance using military sign language. If you use sound, the enemy may hear it. The entire advanced members spread out with a distance from each other of about 6 meters.

This teak forest is indeed quite extensive and covers 2 districts and 2 villages. So doing a search with a limited person will take a bit of time.

Moreover, this group can be said to be ‘beginners’ in terms of pursuit. Because when training has not been taught about pursuit and looking for traces of the enemy.

Moreover, in this case the most reliable person was Nio who only learned the basis of searching for traces of the enemy's existence.

But that is the ability that must be owned by special forces soldiers who are required to be able to know the existence of the enemy with very minimal instructions though. In addition they should be able to strategize in a very short time and in the most dangerous conditions.

The group continued to advance and was still in a state of disperse to search for the slightest trace.

“Commander, come!” said Arista who stopped stepping and looked down like he found something.

The entire search party gathered around Arista and Nio asked, “What's wrong?, did you find something.”

“This, it looks like it's an enemy shoe footprint,” replied Arista as he looked at a footprint.

Because the armor worn by the otherworldly forces must be heavy, so when stepping on soft ground it will definitely leave a trace.

The trail leads in the direction of this group walking so it is a little easy to find the existence of the enemy.

In addition, the footprints left behind were not just one, but several fruits. Not only footprints were found, but also drops of blood.

“We continue,” Nio's command in a soft voice with the answer nodding all members of the search group.

They then followed a trail of blood droplets of unknown source and some visible footprints.

Some members of the group saw the grass after being stepped on foot, it made everyone more confident to be able to find the existence of the enemy.

All members continued their search in slow steps and tried as quietly as possible.

The day started to get a little dark, Nio looked at the watch to check the time.

“It turns out it is afternoon,” Inner Nio when looking at the clock already showed 3 o'clock more.

That means the search group has been searching for almost 3 hours. The search for the enemy requires patience and courage.

Moreover, the traces found were getting fewer and fewer, it made some people become a little annoyed.

But there was no rest, this group of seekers had to find the enemy before bedtime or around 11 pm.

Increasingly traced traces of blood are no longer in the form of droplets, but like a splash that extends.

“Why is there no more?” muttered Nio who stopped when the traces of blood were no longer there.

Some members still stepped forward, but one thing shocked them to make an expression of extreme fear.

“What's up?” asked Nio who quickly approached his members who were still frightened.

They pointed towards a tree, but the tree had far more blood splashes than those on the ground.

Nio along with several other members tried to carefully check what was behind the tree.

Nio immediately shut his mouth and his inspecting members jumped back in shock to the point that their breathing was irregular.

Feet, hands, fingers, earlobes, head, tongue, pair of eyeballs, and ********. All of that looks separate from the main body that is still bleeding profusely. It is more commonly referred to by the action ‘mutilasi’.

From its size, the separated body parts belong to a boy. Includes ******** that have not been circumcised. But in the village there was no one who said if he lost his son.

Moreover, the head with eyes that are still open and shed tears adds to the horror of the atmosphere.

“What is this about them?” muttered Nio took cover of his face with a helmet as it could not stand what he saw.

Some of the other members did not dare to approach the body pieces, especially for female soldiers.

“If you can't stand it, don't look!” nio's orders were answered nodding by the other members.

“How, do we have to contact the coach again?” monsul Rio who was getting anxious with the situation.

“No, they've entrusted us with this task. We have to finish it before bedtime.”

“Then, how about it, we don't carry a body bag.”

Nio glanced at the surroundings that there were only teak trees and shrubs.

“For while we collect that part of the body and cover it with teak leaves,” said Nio who increasingly brings trouble for his members who can not stand the terrible thing.

“For the brave, come with me to collect body parts. The rest wait until it is done,” continued Nio.

There were only 4 people who raised their hands to help Nio collect the cut-off parts of the child's body.

Sima, Ika, and 2 other male members. Of course others were surprised when Ika volunteered to help Nio deal with the negerikan.

“Are you serious?, maybe this thing will continue you remember,” Nio said to Ika in a soft tone again.

“Of course, when being a special forces this kind of thing isn't it common?” Ika replied with a relaxed face but with trembling lips.

Nio's answer was not a happy expression or anything like that, it was precisely the flat face Ika got from Nio.

Nio could see Ika's fear from her quivering lips.

“OK, but don't force yourself. If you want to vomit, just vomit,” firmly Nio on Ika.

“Ready!” reply Ika firmly but with a soft voice.

Then they approached the 4-year-old body fragment belonging to the mutilated boy. They still showed a face of fear and horror when touching body parts, not least for Nio.

Nio even trembled while holding the piece of hand that could still bleed out and collect it in one place.

A few moments later, all parts of the body have been collected in one place and covered with teak leaves and shrubs. It requires more courage than facing the coach when doing training.

They had already taken out the clothes that were still around the discovery of the body piece with the possibility that this clothes belonged to this mutilated boy.

But they still have a problem, which is a head that no one has touched.

The members who helped Nio gather the body parts just looked at each other as if no one wanted to touch the boy's head.

Sima looked furious because no one wanted to touch that head.
