Living in a Shield World
Kiehl is just a sensor

KIEHL IS JUST A SENSOR

Now that my second year in Kiehl, the simulated battlefield, we've made it through, I've had a two-level rise, which means that my time on this planet is reduced by two years.

Joseph, going home later this year, a long wait for Joseph, he's nine years in Kiehl, having made it through the simulated battleground he got a level rise, he's finally home.

Rocky terrain, not the only test here, we will meet many obstacles here.

"Congratulations Joseph, finally the system in Kiehl, giving you a level up, you come home later this year, congratulations", I hug Joseph proudly, and also congratulate myself.

"Thanks to Andy, your crazy idea turned out to be a success, ha ha ha ha", baritone Joseph's voice made the trip to the dining room crowded.

"So after the physical exercise, on my screen it says, the preparation of the hunter's field, what about you, what on your screen is the same thing?, Nathan asked all of us.

While enjoying salad and peanut soup I also agreed to Nathan's question, "Yes the same, my screen also says so".

"Find out who's been to the field" Joseph, who's still at dinner with us, spoke.

"So, in our barracks, it seems like only our group has entered the field, others are still on the level of rocky terrain" replied Kris who has many friends here.

"You know how many military barracks there are on Planet Kiehl?", I asked Kris, "I'm not sure, which is definitely barracks we're not alone here" , Kris had no information on the number of military barracks in Kiehl.

"Yesterday during physical training, the strongest team member, if not mistaken, Ronin or Ronald I forgot his name, broke our calculating device in physical training, apparently unintentionally", Nathan told me about the mess in which he was training.

"Why did you tell Nathan that, I'm sure he must have been physically punished more" I asked, not understanding Nathan's direction.

"It's not Andy's physique, he's been hit by bullets, then we're all told to leave the training ground, we're told to leave him unconscious there", Nathan starts talking in whispers.

"You know what was weird, all that ordered us to go was the sound, I was just waiting outside the training room, waiting for maybe a medical guy to come in, checking Ron's fainting state, he said, but nil, until the next hour no one came", Nathan told me while slowly lowering his voice.

"When Andy said the gun that was shooting at us on the rocky terrain was using sensors, I started thinking, the whole system in Kiehl also has sensors, there are humans, but more machines", Nathan finished the story.

"Just like Rocks, a lot of machines!", I talked.

"But the engine in Rocks does not automatically kill, in Kiehl this censored machine is created in order to kill!", Nathan is fiery, with a soft voice that is restrained.

"You don't mess with Nathan" I can't accuse my father of deliberately trying to kill me.

"Being allowed to kill Andy, they were given a system order to kill us", Nathan still has his opinion.

"Not killing Nathan, no metal bullets here, just dope bullets" Kris, who also disagrees that Kiehl's sensor machine can kill.

"You lose your memory, when that dope got into your body, what a difference it was to kill" Nathan still didn't want to lose.

**********************************************

We were given a map of the hunting field on the screen of each room, there was always a stack of paper and writing equipment in our closet, so I could redraw the map.

Under the screen, there is always writing.

" The warning, for the safety of your life, is forbidden to remove the wings, because it will move the rocks in Kiehl".

I don't understand the point, but on the hunter's terrain map, there's always the inscription "No Wings, Dangerous Area", at some point.

I started drawing maps of the hunter's terrain so as not to forget, we all did, except for Joseph, he was likely absent from the field, because he was quite satisfied to go home at the end of the year.

Three months passed, we prepared to enter the hunting field.

In the first hurdle, we passed through a small passageway to enter, even my already extremely thin body, was still too big for this passageway.

We are not given a time limit, only to arrive at the next post, anyone who gives up can get out of the field of hunters.

I don't know how long we've been trapped in this narrow passageway, unable to move quickly.

On the monitor screen we studied, I thought that little street, was a regular street and not this little hallway.

This hallway also has many branches, we have memorized the way, but this road is a hallway.

We had to get through it, Joseph's body was a little bigger, he was trapped, Joseph even cried, regretting his decision to come with us.

The air here is very limited, I have to say sparingly, "Joseph, stop crying, if you pass out nobody pulls you out, in Kiehl it's just a machine, remember it!" Joseph said, her crying stopped immediately.

"We can make this hallway bigger, before passing through the hall, we magnify the hole with a hammer" I thought quickly.

"Andys swallows, this cave passage could collapse" Kris reminded me.

There were no more ideas, so they enlarged the aisle hole to my idea. In this narrow passageway, there was no time, I could only move very slowly, my head was dizzy from hunger.

Out of worry, we can't even urinate. I saw another light point about three meters away, but to get there, I had no energy.

" Andy, did you see anything, as I recall we should have been close" Kris spoke to me, Kris was right behind me.

"Andy!, sober up!, you see something not ahead?", I have no power to speak.

"Light, three meters", I fell asleep for a while.

Kris shook my leg, "Andy let's move!"

"Because in the front position, my task is the hardest, opening the hallway by crushing the wall using a hammer to be enough with my body, the others just slightly destroy the walls of the hallway, our body size is almost the same.

They smashed the walls of the passageway so Joseph could crawl.

In the distance I saw the light, there was a white-haired woman, her face was faint, her hair was unraveling, she laughed, then approached me, "Sir Andy", I hugged her, her hair was very fragrant.

"Andiiii!" , this time Kris shouted. I'mawakened. My first dream in Kiehl, who was it, was my mother, her embrace made me have energy.

I crawled out successfully through this narrow passageway, approaching the light, at the first obstacle.

We decided to end the obstacle, give up.

From then on, our discussion changed, because we knew the hunting field was a path we couldn't get through easily.

In physical exercise, from the beginning we are trained to forge metals, heavy work and drain a lot of energy, because it must be in a hot place.

For the past year, I never knew why there were physical exercises forging iron. I thought that just to train my strength in the hot room, it turned out that we were asked to make our own weapons.

Discussions in the dining room, now different, we discussed the form of a tool that could accelerate our movement in the hallway.

"I'm sorry guys, I'm home later this year, I can't keep you company until the fifth hurdle" Joseph switched our conversation about the model of the wall crusher.

We could only hold Joseph's hand, "Thank you Joseph you'd like to accompany us so far".
