The Wander Caravan
Strange situation

Chapter 52

Along the way, they did not find or see any animals. This made all the families become wary because it was impossible in the forest there were no animals.

But what they felt now was just how sunny the forest they had entered was. Silence that makes people gripping.

"Is this how I feel or is it the gripping atmosphere?" Gery said as he rubbed his arm back and forth. Gery rubbed his arm not because of the cold but because he felt afraid of the unnatural atmosphere around him.

"It's not just you who feel weird but all of us. Although the moment is calm but we still have to be careful because we do not know what will appear later and whether we will be attacked." Top said with a sarcastic tone.

For Top the conditions he met at this time were very unnatural. It was this impropriety that made Top feel that he had to be vigilant because he did not know what ghost would come out to meet him.

Hearing the words of Gery and Top, Alex also considered the conditions they face today are indeed very unnatural. Alex is afraid that this is the period of peace before the disaster.

The more Alex thought about it the more he felt his thinking was right although not 100 percent but there were at least 50 percent. After looking at the surrounding conditions and analyzing roughly.

Alex suddenly felt a danger he did not know. Therefore Alex immediately told everyone to be careful.

"As Gery and Top said, the current situation is very unnatural, so we should immediately look for the weapon storage cave to retrieve all the weapons that exist after that immediately leave this ghost place. Because I feel like something's gonna happen to us if we don't get out of here." Obviously Alex so that the family can move faster and also so that the family can be more careful again.

Leana who heard Alex could have a bad feeling about this place became even more vigilant because she herself also felt this forest was very strange because from earlier they had not met any animals at all.

"Grandfather, are you tired?" Leana asked her grandparents for fear that her grandparents were tired.

"It's okay we're still up to it. Come on, the road's faster. Because grandma also felt this place was strange! We better be more alert." Said Elise so her family wouldn't worry about her and her husband. Also Elise asked her family to go faster.

Elise wished for Alex's premonition to be wrong but even so she herself was also very agitated since entering the forest. Elise knows her family without her and her husband they can walk faster but because she and her aging husband all the family adjust their steps to her.

Due to the harsh conditions of the forest, Elise makes a surreptitious decision that if anything happens, she will sacrifice herself so that her entire family can escape.

Luke, who has lived with Elise for so long, knows the thoughts and expressions of his wife, as Luke now knows the intentions of his wife who wants to sacrifice herself if something happens. Therefore Luke has also taken the decision to protect his wife, his son, and his granddaughter.

Without feeling they have been walking for 5 hours but they still have not met the cave they were headed to. Now everyone was tired and hungry. Alex who saw all his family had tired immediately asked them to rest for 1 hour before proceeding to walk again.

Seeing that there was a long wooden tree that had fallen down Alex immediately headed there with his whole family. Then ask grandparents, father and mother-in-law, and mother Marie to immediately sit on a fallen wooden tree. Then Alex asked Leana to take out a mat that was long and wide for all of them to sit on.

Leana then took out the mat that Alex asked for. After the mat is removed, Joe and Hyu immediately take the mat and roll out the mat next to the fallen tree.

After Joe and Hyu finished rolling out the mats, everyone sat down and took out the food box containing the sandwiches and immediately started eating. Not to forget Leana also brought out drinks for everyone.

After about 30 minutes everyone had finished eating but they still had not continued walking but still rested another 30 minutes according to what Alex said they rested for 1 hour to rest their legs pain caused by a long road.

At a time when everyone was still at rest, Alex, Top, Tee, Hyu, and Joe had a discussion and also studied the map to make sure their direction was not going wrong. Also they share information that they notice and that they get along the way.

"Sister Alex I feel these animals are not disappearing but the possibility of them hiding because of something because at the time of walking I saw a scratch on the tree trunk. After I checked the former scratches this is still fairly new made to have." Said Joe to share the information he got to his brother.

"I also discovered the difference in the grass that was here. By the time I paved the way and mowed the weeds I saw the grass height was much higher than the grass we were used to. Did Alex notice this too?" Hyu said to confirm her conjecture.

Hearing Hyu's question, Alex could only nod his head as a sign he also saw the difference in the grass that was here. While hearing the information from his brothers Alex also did an analysis of their current situation inside his brain.

When Joe sees Alex nodding their heads, they also become wary of whether the high oddity of the grass they encounter is at the root of the problem of the disappearance of the animals in this forest.

Because of this problem Joe's people became wondering in their own hearts. Alex is suspicious of the grass they encounter along the way.

At a time when everyone is in a state of mind. Tee who had been silent because she did not know had to say the information she knew or not.

Because he still did not know whether what he saw was true or not. He suddenly spoke after deciding to share the information he knew. And the information he knew made the others startled.

"I don't really understand why I can see this so I hesitated to say it. But after I thought about it again I decided to tell you." Tee who is the most quiet person in their group.
