- Let's go I'm ready

  - Ki-moon, are you sick?, Kang whispered, are you really going to follow them?

  - I'll be right back, just a sip of water, I begged

  Perfect

  I followed him in the shadows without saying a word, I could feel the poorly contained excitement of one of them, was he that hungry?, I wanted to at least bring back some water to contribute I didn't just want to take advantage of kang's supplies that was the only reason I insisted on following them.

  The forest grew denser and denser as we went deeper into it. Not a sound except their footsteps and the drones buzzing overhead.

  Was everyone looking at us?

  The path suddenly became cut off by just rocks and a depression in the ground, black brambles all around, the group turned and faced me

  - It's there, one of them told me.

  I watched them perplexed,

  - how come “it’s there “

  They were all there, watching me strangely and above all in a very disturbing and frustrating silence.

  - But there is no water source here? I ask them, backing up slightly.

  - Yes, he replied, approaching on tiptoe.

  He threw himself at me, a stone in his hand, I just managed to avoid him in time, his momentum threw him into the brambles, fortunately for me, but his second pursued me with a blade in his hand, grabbing the first object to bring me, a branch covered with Thorns , And he is hit in the face with

  - HAAAAA Fuck my eyes, haaaa ahah Fuck my eyes, haaaa ahah

  Everything is happening here so fast that I didn't even realize what I was doing.

  He covered his face screaming dropping his knife, I picked it up and threw myself at the last one before he attacked, I stabbed him, stabbed him, stabbed him, again and again several times in the same place without stopping, one blow two blows three blows 4 blows, so many blows that I didn't even know how many I had given him, but so many that he didn't move anymore,

  - I... I... kill them?, totally panicked, pale complexion, hands shaking

  This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

  - Ha-

  seized by a blow to the throat

  A bundle of thorns wrapped around my neck and pulled me back

  - FUCKING SHIT, YOU'RE GETTING TIRED OF BEATING THIS SHRIMP, my captor yelled

  - ha ha,

  I'm suffocating, I'm short of air, if I don't do anything I really risk dying.

  I frantically searched with my hands for something on the ground, anything I could free myself with.

  The second one finally freed himself from the pain in his eyes and rushed to help his ally, knocking him out with a violent kick, propelling him two meters away from them, which allowed Ki-moon to free himself for a moment from the ally's grip.

  - FOOL, YOU SET HER FREE, cried his ally

  Ki-moon was there, sprawled on the ground.

  Seeing him inert, he returns to the charge but barely takes the first step

  BAM!

  He received a stone in the head, splitting his skull open immediately.

  - Fuck!, cried the last one, astonished

  He tries to turn the tables by lunging at Ki-moon, but gets his eye gouged out with a branch.

  - HAAAAA motherfucker shit shit haaaaaaa fuck My eyes fucking…., sobbing voice

  He was writhing in pain in every direction.

  I stand frozen on the ground, panting, short of breath, my throat burning

  I saw him running at full speed but he crashed into the depression next to him, rolling in the mud before ending up with his head smashed against the rocks.

  I sit up with difficulty, the silence was so heavy, and these drones continued to observe us.

  I now counted three bodies at my feet...

  I raised my head and stared at the drones.

  [now it makes 6]

  Far on the beach, kang

  - What's going on, what do they all have to look at their drone?

  staring intently at the drone hovering above his head, a black screen just showing

  [6 dead, confirmed, 4 left to eliminate, time remaining 4h30]

  - What the hell is this, he muttered to himself.

  Another drone descended gently to his height, who was it?

  - This is really exciting, I really thought he was going to die, he breathed with a smirk.

  - What happened, what is this, staring at Kim Young's drone

  - Ki-moon, ki-moon, ki-moon, ki-moon, cheering every time, it's incredible

  Kangs was already rushing to his aid.

  The only one was rowing under my feet, the pain radiated from my neck wound. My breath was short and my legs were slowly giving out on me and while everything seemed to be getting dark

  - Ki-moon ki-moon, answer, where are you?

  A figure emerged from the darkness, he didn't ask any questions despite my mutilated body, he simply hoisted me onto his back, his tense muscles and muscular arms holding me firmly.

  He ran, ignoring the fatigue, ignoring the bodies and branches scratching his face, and brought me back to the beach.

  He tore off a piece of his shirt and bandaged my neck.

  She was there too, watching us.

  She was waiting, sitting on a log like a queen on her throne. Her eyes shone with an unhealthy excitement as if I were the new toy she had fallen for.

  - Hey, you two are joining me

  - Little girl, there is no one here to join your ranks, go back where you came from, Kang whispered.

  - Actually, it's not really you I need, but rather him, by pointing at me, he will be very useful to me, replied Kim Young.

  - You should really leave before I get angry, Kang said.

  - I won't leave until the person concerned dies, chased away, understood, old man, Kim Young shouted.

  Silence

  I watched him for a moment, out of the corner of my eye.

  - I…. I don’t want to… Join your group

  - Ki-moon, she breathed, staring into my eyes

  - You listened to him so you can go, Kang breathed.

  - So I'm the one joining your group, deal done,

  And lie down close to us

  Dawn was already breaking.

  As the silence continued to hang over the drones, they gave off a slight vibration, and then the same familiar, terrifying voice echoed throughout the area. Its gigantic, grotesque face hovered across every drone screen.

  [24 hours are up. You are the slowest group of all, the choir risks being eliminated, while you play cat and mouse the other groups have already started the race for billions, we are waiting for you]

  [ha ha ha ahaaa, a shrill laugh, but you are what the public adores the most, what can I do about it, your money and your little betrayals are increasing the audience, your ease in killing each other is impressive, and the sum to be won has just increased to 600 billion]

  [Which country will survive to take home this enormous sum, you will find out in the next test]
