Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 3: Welcome to forest of scrutiny

After Nix and Nagendra crawled out of their compartment. They analyzed the situation and the status of the people inside the compartment. The Compartment was turned upside down some people died due to the teleportation process.

Some passengers were screaming in pain and agony. Slowly Some passengers went out of the window and every surviving passenger in the compartment was injured.

Adding Nix and Nagendra a total of twenty-two seemed to have survived after the teleportation. A Compartment can contain up to seventy passengers it. Among them, almost forty-eight others died but some passengers wouldn't survive because of their physical condition. There was a person inside the compartment who lost a leg, and some lost their limbs they all needed immediate treatment.

"Somebody help! Somebody, please help!"

A woman was yelling and crying out for help. She had placed the head of the kid on her lap and the kid looked like he was undergoing his final moment as there was a glass piece pierced inside in the throat. Some were baffled because all they could do is stand there and observe while their travel companions struggled to die.

It was then,

suddenly a notification popped on the air.

{Survivors welcome to the forest of scrutiny}

{Your task is to survive inside the forest for three days to get teleported and gain the right to become an Outsider.}

{you have one unread message.}

Nix gaped at the messages and gulped air.

Everybody grew agitated after reading the message. They didn't know what to do now. Nix gaped at his surroundings, as he turned his gaze to Nagendra.

Nagendra was strangely calm and analyzing the situation yet, he was sweating heavily. Possible he was trying to suppress his fear and trying Nagendra maintain his composure. Nagendra was having many questions running in his mind just like him, so Nix turned his gaze away.

'what the fuck is with this situation?' He thought.

[No worries man as I am here to assist you]

'Fucker is this all, your making?'

[Nah, I know you are dumbass but, not to this extent... Why would I return to the past and make myself suffer?]

'Fuck you! You didn't explain anything...'

[I already told you didn't I? That you will get to know at the end of the day.]

'But this situation I can't fathom anything I want to go back. Is this a dream or something?'

[This is the reality all you need to do now is survive.]

His complexion darkened as he regained his composure. No, matter what he thought that was the reality, he had to accept it.

'Alright, I will try to adapt to this fucking shit! So what is an Outsider?'

[That's my man! analyze the situation first. Firstly look at how many survivors are left, Make them your comrades.]

'You know that I can't socialize with people and you of all people telling me to do this huh?'

[You need trustworthy people to have your rear as I don't want to reiterate the same mistakes I made in the past again.]

'Alright I understand it but I can't assure you that I will make friends but I will try my best.'

[Deal.]

Nix turned towards the compartment and analyzed his environment and a building caught his eye in the northern direction from the compartment at a distance of about eight hundred meters. Nix tried to open his mouth and say something to Nagendra.

"Nag...."

Nagendra turned his gaze towards Nix and slowly opened his mouth.

"Nix I think we should start moving now I have a bad feeling about this forest. Let's gang up with other passengers."

"okay when we look in our opposite direction, there is a building which seems to be a hint for survival so let's first get there."

"Okay, I had the same thought."

Nagendra stepped up and started talking towards the other survivors.

"Everybody listen here! I think it will be good to start moving contrarily. I think it will be more dangerous to stay in the same place for a long time as we don't understand why we became teleported? or why a message mentioning to 'survive inside the forest' has been transpired to us?"

A Gruff voice came from a middle-aged man.

"Wait! What you said is right but do we need to leave out our injured companions here?"

"I am sorry but if we need to survive we have to start moving now."

Everybody's facial expression turned stiff upon hearing his answer and some people got angry to leave their precious companions. A mother who lost her kid, A man you lost his wife and many more people felt bad to leave them be. People started to become restless thinking about what to do next. They started conversing between themselves further delaying the decision making.

It was then

A Female voice came from the group.

"I have an opinion, may I speak?"

"yes please go on, it will be good for us to share our opinions."

"What if we share votes for what to do next?"

"Yes, I think it will be a good idea."

The woman spoke who was transmitting out a cold aura encompassing her. She had her composure well maintained even in a dire situation. She was a cold beauty and her pupils resemble the calm blue sky. She looked charming and attractive enough to make men fall for her beauty.

"Okay we can share votes, Yes to explore the area, No to stay here and rescue and treat injured people in the compartment and abstain for those who don't have an idea, we can group up according to the votes."

"awooo wrrrr wrr"

Suddenly a howling sound came from a distance.

Before they could understand what was going on. A pack of wild dogs started running towards the compartment where the survivors were. The dogs signified different appearances from the dogs we see on earth they had two tails and their teeth were protruding like vampires and the eyes of the dogs were glowing red in color. Nagendra shouted in a loud voice pointing towards a direction.

"Everybody! Start running towards the building!"

[Nix, Pick up a glass piece now or a metal rod from the compartment before starting to run.]

'okay!'

Nix tried to detach a metal rod from the compartment but it slowed him down. So in instinct, he picked up two sharp glass pieces from the ground and wielded the two glass pieces like a dagger. He commenced racing fast as he can.

Everybody started running without thinking. Humans are the same as animals whose survival instinct kicks in just as they face danger. With the desire to live another day everybody started running. Some people stumbled and lost their balance and fell to the ground. people who started late and people inside the compartment became dog food.

"HAh~Hah, Fuck me!" Uttering inwardly he continued to pursue surviving the damned scenario.

He ran giving his all but as he took off slow. A dog that was chasing after him started getting closer and closer as he ran. Those who were running behind him were hunted by the dogs. Ten people ran in front of him.

Nix turned behind reflexively the wild dog which sought behind him, pounced on him but, just before it tried to bite his neck. He reflexively took his right hand in which he carried a glass piece to block his neck from getting bitten so it bit his right hand. He instinctively tried to pierce its neck with a glass piece on his other hand and successfully pierced it making blooded splatter on his face. He kicked the body of the wild dog and started running again.

When he thought about what happened a chill ran down his spine.

'Fuck!'

He distanced himself from the dogs a bit and ran to the building as he was just a few meters away from getting attacked.

Finally, he reached inside the building. A message popped up on the air.

{Congratulations on surviving the siege and entering the safe house.}

{All physical conditions have been restored.}
