Sunrise
Episode 2 Towards Pick-up

Inside the tent specially built Commander. Dean and the other squad commanders arrived. The Southern Squad Commander was there. His team came late, not only did they experience the rain, he and his team did too. Plus, the path they had traveled towards here was not the same as the others. They must climb the highlands. No wonder how difficult they have to climb so steep, wet, and slippery land.

Through a tent lantern hung in the middle, just above those who have sat cross-legged around the leaflet of the map. They're discussing...

“It has been a week each of us on doing a sweep, but we have not found results. How's this..." The commander of the Southern Squad complained, as well as opening his voice.

“Our time is also not much. 1 week we have been replaced by another team." The Western Squad Commander.

“During the sweep also we do not see human activities such as cutting trees, hunting, or so forth." Dean didn't miss.

To cover the need, the group will definitely do so.

“Actually we combin not fully we can see. Of course, the paths of each of us through the area are wide. Since our pick-up place is on the Southeast line, we will do a sweep to this line. Who knows, we found their new headquarters there. We will not have to separate. We'll do a sweep together." In the middle of the conversation, the Commander pointed a finger at the map.

“Good And,” answer them in unison.

“How are all your supplies? Is there a problem? Because we're still 1 week away running.”

“For me no, Dan." Dean responds.

“I don't either, Dan,” added the Commander of the Western Squad.

“I have a problem, Dan. We climbed up to here. My man who was holding the medicines slipped down, and the bag of medicines he was holding slipped off. He was the last member to ascend. We can't go down anymore. The land is too slippery." The Southern Squad Commander informed.

“It's okay. Since we're back together, we can cover each other's needs between teams" Commander said.

“Good, Dan.”

“Later if we find the new headquarters of the enemy. We're doing an ambush periodically. Not like the attacks we've done before. First of all, we'll face their guardians first. But don't use a weapon eruption, use martial arts skills. Take off their clothes. Wear it... Then the second army approached. The third squad watched from a distance. So prepare 2 members of your team who have qualified martial arts skills, and 2 experts long-range snipers. The rest, together you and I become second-tier troops. Later I will divide 4 points to circle their headquarters. But I can only share after seeing their place.”

“Siap And,” nod them.

“Lantas, do you have anything else you want to add? Or discuss?”

“For me enough, Dan,” reply Dean.

"I am too, Dan." The Southern, and Western Squad Chief, replied in unison.

“Alright, meeting dissolved. Tomorrow at dawn we leave.”

“Siap, Dan.” They pay respect.

Dean and the others came out of the tent. Then they prepared what they were told. Tell the people the Commander wants. So that those people know, and prepare themselves if later needed.

The night was cold and dark. The moonlight could not fully illuminate how dark the forest was. Wind gusts through the trees high among the dense foliage, also through the skin of the body that can make the fur kudu goosebumps. The sound of wolf howls, and the sound of owls interlocked if heard can make the heart pound. There are also other types of birds that give a more creepy sound effect in the form of long chirps. Not to mention, they should always be prepared from everything if any ferocious beasts suddenly entered the camp. This illustrates how gripping the state of the forest in the middle of the night.

All those obstacles they must be able to pass through. It is their duty to be ready to undergo the task at all costs. Even in this gripping atmosphere, they do not escape their eyes and their hearing is alert if suddenly there is an unknown human movement. Because it does not guarantee their movement is not known by the opponent.

Every 2 hours the troops alternately stand guard. The dark night slowly changed, preparing to change light. In a state still dim, the troops cleared the tents and all their tracks. Then together with the platoon leader they stepped together.

The streets are still muddy from the rain yesterday. They continued to step towards the pickup area. Not a little time, they are still traveling another week. With the compass in hand held by the Platoon Commander's men standing beside the ruler, they continued walking. The Platoon Commander and his team took the lead in front, the rest snaking backwards. Once in a while, the man spoke with his hands up and down. Commander nodded.

The sound of a wooden crack was heard, the commander immediately put one hand into the air. It was a code so that all the men behind him lowered their heads. Simultaneously the team lowered their bodies.

“What is it?” The commander said in a small tone.

The man in charge of all his men, instructed the 2 members behind him to check. The two men left. Carefully conduct reconnaissance. Everyone is waiting for news. Soon the two men returned.

“Bears work, Dan,” report one of them.

“Oh! Alright.”

The commander stood up again, followed by the others. They then continued walking. Every sound, or other things they must be vigilant. Let us anticipate before things happen that are not desirable.

It was good they walked. The sun has also given off a stinging light. Every track passed there was no sign of life. In fact, they had been disturbed by a tiger who suddenly lunged into the middle of the horde. Do not want to be shot spontaneously by members who are in the back. Because the tiger's mouth was a little more eager to devour his companion. Prepare to tear.

“We rest here." The commander stopped stepping.

Simultaneously Dean's squad, and other squads went out of line. Dean, and the Commander of the Southern Squad is called. They both came to their bosses.

“Your men are looking for lunch today. As well as preparing." The commander gave instructions.

“Siap And!” answer them.

Because last night wasn't the ones who worked. Currently have a task.

Dean and the Commander of the Southern Squad left. Then call their men who are mixed with other groups. They're on the come. Both men gave orders.
