Samurai Around The World #47.
We also thought quietly about Joseph's proposal.
“If I agree to pass these guards but by skipping. For a sudden problem to come out, we can watch him from behind and front before stepping forward. The other how?” I agree with Joseph.
Allan, Saint, Mr. Mack, and Mr. Mark nodded in agreement.
“Ya I've come to” Mr. Zack decided to agree and follow the proposal from Joseph.
“Show to follow” says Guzz and others.
“Good if everyone has agreed. Perhaps it would be better to carry binoculars or viewing aids for the night can walk in the front and back of our ranks. Because the one in front and back will watch the wooden house above us. Who brought a tool like that?” joseph asked us again.
I also held my hand. Allan, Mr. Mack, and Lowenn held out their hands as well.
“Others are there any more?” Joseph also made sure.
Only 4 hands were raised.
“There are 4 yes. Look, Allan and Mr. Mack will be in the front row. Girou and Lowenn stood guard in the back row. How?” Joseph arranged the line to continue the journey which had been delayed by a few minutes.
Me, Allan, Mr. Mack, and Lowenn nodded their heads in agreement.
“Ya already then. We immediately continue the journey tonight” Joseph told all of us.
Allan and Mr. Mack immediately stepped up to lead the troupe. The others walked directly behind him. After all had gone in a row, Lowenn and I joined the ranks and became guards in the rear row.
As I walked, I kept looking at the situation around me to see if there were any guards watching us on this dark night.
Fortunately, no one from the houses above us appeared. It looks like they're asleep or something. But it can benefit me and others.
Our ranks continue to move forward through one by one the threats that are on top of our crowns until after walking for approximately 20 minutes, we saw a light coming through the trees in front of us.
“Is that the building we are looking for Allan?” joseph asked about the light.
“It seems that was Joseph. We just continue and make sure if it is indeed the place of” Allan continued his footsteps again.
We also walked closer to the light we saw to ascertain whether it was sourced from the building we were aiming for or just the lighting in this forest.
Fortunately, Joseph's guess was correct. The light we saw earlier came from a building that was in front of us now.
“Yes we finally arrived. This is the end of our long journey all night through the underground darkness and the jungle. But if you look at the situation now, we better take place first here. Because it's four in the morning. If we go inside to get something we are looking for, we have very little time. Because soon the sun will rise and the activity of this headquarters will start again” Allan told us to settle first and not infiltrate into first.
“Yes too yes. We'll just settle here first. Maybe tomorrow night we continue our mission” Mr. Mark also agrees with Allan's opinion.
We are all looking for a suitable place to rest while in the middle of the forest and not seen by anyone around here. After determining a place to install a suitable tent, we also gotong royong to set up a tent that can be used to sleep and rest until tomorrow night.
“Hoooamm! Finally finished the tent. I want to sleep because it is sleepy, almost all night walking in the middle of the trees and dark like this makes drowsiness come to me.” Joseph immediately put his body in the tent because sleepy.
While the others were asleep, I sat under a very tall tree because there was no room left in the tent.
There was the sound of crickets filling all sides of the forest we live in now. The sound of night animals also hum and earthy with the sound of crickets earlier. The voice sounded like a music that accompanied me in the early hours like this.
Not long after all fell asleep, there was a loud snoring sound from Allan and Joseph who were asleep inside the tent. I walked up to him and covered the two of them with a piece of cloth so that the sound of his snoring was not heard by someone outside the tent and could raise suspicions that could harm us at this time.
“Puuhh! Just-there's. Hopefully no one heard the snoring of Allan and Joseph earlier” I said walking out of the tent after stuffing the mouths of my snoring friends.
I also sat down under the tree that I had left earlier while observing the circumstances around the tent that I and others had built earlier. We only made one tent because the tent we made was large enough and fit to fill up to 12 people. And to be more invisible to the guards, we put leaf cover, twigs, and bushes around our tent that can outwit the vision of the guards around us.
The hour hand on my hand showed at 4 a.m. Near us were voices indicating activity and writhing from all parts and sides of the headquarters that had begun in the morning.
I also walked closer to the origin of the voice I heard just now over curiosity.
And it turns out that the sound came from a building in the middle of the forest that seems to be in charge of collecting firewood in this wilderness to be spread throughout the headquarters which is useful for maintaining body temperature because this headquarters area has a cold temperature even though elsewhere is the arrival of spring because of the mountain behind this headquarters.
“They've been working since morning. They seem eager to do their job. They also seem to have fun in their work. Hopefully after this mission is completed I can have fun like them and hopefully this mission succeeds with success” I said while watching the workers who are eager to find firewood in the morning.
After being satisfied to see the guard, I walked back to the tent and waited until morning came
I also woke up our rested team members last night to start the activity in the morning.
“Hei this morning. You slept very well yesterday until your snoring sounded hard until out tent” I also told Allan to wake up first.
Allan just squirms and turns away from me.
I tried again to wake him up. But just the same, Allan did not wake up from his deep sleep. Desperate, I woke Joseph up. But the result was the same, Joseph did not wake up.
And because two people were so hard to wake up, I got out of the tent. Allowing others to sleep longer.
“Ya was already possible because of the fatigue running all night yesterday. I just let him sleep longer. Let's get excited again”
After failing to wake the others up, I stood guard again and watched the situation around me. The binoculars I brought with me were used to keep an eye on the area around our tent further and clearer.
The sunlight hitting my body made my body feel warmer after a cold night. And it makes me feel more comfortable because I'm still not as used to the cold weather in Europe as I've felt in recent days. We also did not light a bonfire last night to warm up for safety reasons.
Using my binoculars, I monitored every side of the binocular lens I was carrying. There was a worker who was having breakfast with one of his friends. There are also those who are picking up branches and branches of fallen trees. It was likely that he was one of the workers I had seen before. And the soldiers perched on top of the trees were constantly monitoring the situation and making sure there were no disturbances in the main building complex of the base. The troops were monitoring the area of the complex in the same way as me, using binoculars.
And from my supervision, in one wooden hut, you could say, there were 2 people or soldiers standing guard. They alternate according to the agreed time. There may be someone who is awake from morning to evening and there is also someone who is awake from evening to morning the next day.
My eyes also looked around the forest that was not dark like last night carefully and a little did not care about the situation near me.
“Oi”
