THE LIVINETT PROTOCOL 9
19

Marco was so serious about his training that he did not return to the laboratory for a month. This time he got the assignment to help the medical experts from Sandzelt. Marco must escort Sandzelt's men to take new drugs for Yazelt. So, he had to take the drugs from the border. Although still on the same continent, security is still needed.

He will certainly carry out the order with a sense of responsibility. It turned out that Theresia was in the group that Marco was going to escort. Even without an escort, it felt like there would be no problem because Theresia also had great strength. But alas, the girl hid her identity by disguising herself as a masked warrior.

Because Theresia came along, this certainly makes Marco very happy and more excited. Looks like Marco put his taste to Theresia. Naturally, a nurse who is so beautiful has certainly made many men fall in love. Their departure was determined, at dawn.

After all getting ready, the group set off in a large truck. When they reached the edge of the Lumbor Forest, they stopped. Derpaz explained, to go to the border at Sandzelt can not use a vehicle. So they had to walk through the forest. If by air is very unlikely, because Sandzelt is developing an airfield and not yet so.

The road they went through was so many rocks. Actually there will be no enemies targeting them, maybe some bandits only. But, at this border there are often very large storms. The storm has existed since time immemorial, somehow the storm can occur in the forest. Every time a storm occurs, many trees will fall because their roots are uprooted from the ground. The trees can be dangerous because they will befall anyone who is underneath. It seems that only that area has an extreme and unpredictable climate.

The forest stretches from the banks of the Oxin River through the barrier wall and covers a third of Sandzelt. No wonder if the wall on this border is damaged and the ugliest of border walls in other regions. 3 Km to the southeast, there is a vast grassland in Sandzelt called Boran. The meadow was always crowded to be used for herding goats by residents in the east. Border walls were built to guard their respective areas, but used to be used for map-making and dividing the region.

All the people who inhabit the Pegalisch Continent respect each other, because they are both descendants of King Arcansas. Residents of immigrants can settle as long as they can give clarity on where they come from. Other than the Pegalisch Continent and Tsandor, there was still another continent located quite far away. The continent was named Arimp which was in the Kulfik Ocean, in the southwest of the Pegalisch Continent.

The people of the Arimp Continent traveled to Pegalisch. They are nicknamed the Blue People, because of their blue hair. All residents from there have the same hair color, somehow can be all blue. It may be because of their ancestry or it may be genetic.

The group escorted by Marco and Derpaz continued their journey by entering the forest. They carried large bags of tents and supplies. Two carts were dropped from the truck to put things away and to transport exhausted or suddenly sick nurses. The forest was really vast, it took one night to reach the border. There is no other path than through this forest, if you have to cross the river it will make the journey longer. Because after that they have to pass through a very wide desert and can take 3 to 4 days.

They walked without any obstacles until noon. The sun should be shining very hot, but they are in the forest so it feels shady. Lunch time had arrived, the group stopped for lunch first. The journey was still far away, it was likely that they would arrive tomorrow at noon. After lunch and a short rest, the group resumed their journey.

“So you have to go through this forest to get to Yazelt?” marco asked Theresia.

“Yes. But if you yourself can not use a sophisticated motor made by Yazelt. Because this forest has something strange, maybe like a magnetic field or something like that. So that any machine that passes through the forest will die. So there is no other way but to walk through this dense forest,” replied Theresia while brushing her hair.

“So so.”

Marco simply nodded as he continued pushing the cart. He actually already knows the condition of the forest which is said to often occur storms. Because in the next 200 years, the forest will be opened to make toll roads. The cause of the storm is the wind that blows all year from Mount Rez and meets the wind from the Krokalm Strait. Because of this, storms often occur in the Lumbor Forest. Maybe it was also the cause of the vehicle engine to die when passing through the forest. Mount Rez is the largest mountain in the Pegalisch Continent, besides still active, the mountain also gives life to all the people in Pegalisch. Because the Oxin River flows thanks to the mountain and the row of mountains around it.

When creating a highway that connects all regions, the thinkers of Yazelt found a way to prevent storms from happening around the forest. Scientists have also found a way to overcome the phenomenon of magnetic fields in the Lumbor Forest. They created a device capable of deflecting the direction of the wind. With the device, the storm will not happen again and the strange gravity in the forest is lost. The newly built highway was only completed when Marco was 5 years old.

Now that Marco is 20 years old, he has never encountered such a storm. According to his mother's story, the storm killed his mother's younger brother. At that time, the sister was playing with her three friends in the forest to look for squirrels. Bad luck suddenly occurred, the storm came raging and caused the three children to die hit by a tree including his uncle Marco. One child survived the incident. The child who survived was named Ergalo, now he lives near the forest to remember the terrible events that happened to him. Marco called him Uncle Ergalo. If only his mother's younger brother were still alive, Marco would still have a real uncle.

Every day Uncle Ergalo stared at the bustling toll road. Memories always overshadowed his life. Marco often heard about his mother and uncle's childhood from the man. Ergalo was a good man, because he always allowed Marco to eat all the cakes in his house. Marco hasn't visited her since she left school.

Maybe Ergalo misses Marco, Marco has not met the man for a long time. Ergalo's life was like he didn't need a woman, he wasn't married until now. I don't know why he didn't want to get married, or he didn't like having a family. Marco doesn't want to ask such personal questions.

The afternoon had arrived, the sky was starting to darken as dense clouds clumped over the sunlight. Marco's party still walked a little more leisurely. It was quite a long journey they had taken. Suddenly, the air got colder. The forest became very dark and the wind started to blow even louder. Something went wrong, it seemed like the storm being talked about was about to happen.
