Chapter 7 Unexpected Event
From how big the heavy truck was, it was undoubtedly large enough to fit in thirty people at a time, once again he was overwhelmed he had never seen such heavy military trucks before.
The thought of it made him imagine how the new world was going to be like, although he knew most people would be symbiote users it was still hard to believe such people existed outside the field of the earth.
Compared to novels which made one doubt the reality of life, his situation was even more absurd.
From the size of the heavy truck, he couldn\'t help but recall back in his area sixty people if not more would squeeze themselves in such a space, so those entering were swift enough to quickly choose the sweet spot.
Before they reached the heavy truck, a large door that could be spotted on the middle of the heavy truck opened rolling over into a ladder until it eventually reached the ground, bringing with it a cloud of white puffing smoke.
Immediately, after they proceeded to enter, with him entering last as he inspected the inside of the truck which looked like the inside of a train, before he sat he took a swift look around him as he realize more and more how different the interior of the truck was and it uncanny resemblance to the inners of a train with six windows each [18 inches] large, besides that most of the people had different beasts with different shapes, while some had none at least from what it looked like.
When he turned around, to look he discovered most of them weren\'t talking to anyone, except some people who seemed like they were ready to make friends with anyone willing to talk to them.
Looking at them through the corners of his eyes, he felt a little relieved. It wasn\'t like he had thought, maybe he would get to make friends of his own along the way, however, he didn\'t forget what Mr meow meow had said to him about never trusting anyone, after a while of thinking about it he realized the cat must have had its reasons.
While Bernard was contemplating about his old apartment and his other files. Just then a notification pops up right in front of him, displaying a panel with written words.
[Well done Host, All stats have returned to normal]
He looked at the notification, wondering if it was because he was in a new environment or because the military truck gave him a sense of security. However, he didn\'t care what was most important was the sickening odor had finally gone away, making him feel reinvigorated and refreshed to his core.
\'Well, it looks like am completely human besides my eyes sight being better and my nose acting funky.\'
The moment the door of the heavy truck closed, some of the people already began engaging themselves in more active small talks around their corners, and even showing off what type of symbiote beast they had, however, the moment the military personnel Galadima entered their heavy truck, the place now immediately seemed like it was a graveyard.
"Alright, first of all for those of you still confused about our means of transportation is for safety purposes. So now it\'s time for us to head to the symbiote beast military school."
Everyone turned to look at the military personnel Galadima in surprise, as he stood almost like a tree rooted in his spot with closed eyes, almost everyone had the same reaction not because of him but the bald-headed beard eagle, whose beak was moving as its let out real words, almost like a real human.
Bernard looked at some of their reaction, as it seemed like not all of them had realized a symbiote beast could talk, and more importantly, it seemed like galadima wasn\'t the only military personnel who was in charge since there were thirty heavy military trucks Bernard assumed there would also be thirty military personnel overseeing each truck.
After the bald eagle was done with its announcement, Galadima signaled for the driver to start gliding through a walkie-talkie in his hand.
There was a loud boom, and then a slight vibration before the trucks jerked into motion gliding through the road through the anti-gravity hovering thrusters. Bernard breathed in a sigh, they were finally on their way, with nothing but a long a*s silence through the whole drive.
Whenever a student wanted to take advantage of Galadima\'s eyes being close to converse, they would feel a shiver as the bald-headed beard eager would give anyone a deadly glare, prompting the long graveyard silence.
Galadima didn\'t even need to move, say any word, or opened his eyes since the nigh omnipresent bald eagle was always glaring at anyone and everyone.
After about one hour in their journey, passing through numerous landscapes, at some point loud muffled noises could be heard from the back.
At first, it started with just noises, soon the truck began to vibrate akin to the after-effects of earthquakes.
Only then did he realize something was wrong, however, he couldn\'t do anything nor could he see through the thickness of the large size heavy truck windows, within looked like shadows from the inside.
Just then the notification panel materialize in front of his face, and soon his nose slightly lifted up, and he sneezed.
[Weird substance is being detected in the surrounding]
[You are being affected by this weird substance]
[You may choose to either hold your breathe or inhale but that would result in passing out]
Bernard panicked for a moment, he didn\'t want to pass out but he found himself between a rock and a hard place with the weird messages he was staring at in front of him. This made him realize something was definitely not right, so he slightly raised his head and look at the surrounding from the corners of his eyes.
[Congratulations! You have gained +1 Resistance]
As he was checking the surrounding, he got another notification that made him delighted, with much closer inspection he realized 90% of the people in the truck were already dosing off, which he assumed was also happening in the other military trucks. Seeing this, he felt he needed to fight against it since it seemed like the military truck was under an attack however he realized that the more he put up more resistance the greater the effect.
From his heading spinning round and round, he felt his body was becoming heavier by the second, before he knew it his eyes were already trembling trying to fight the dizziness in his consciousness.
[Congratulations! You have gained +1 Resistance]
[Resistance to weird substance: ×2]
At this moment, he felt a little relieved. However, at long last no actions of his went unnoticed, his eyelids flutter for a moment as he opened his eyes, but then only to realize the bald eagle was in front of him staring at his face intently.
"Sergeant looks like a rookie is trying to play hard to get. Guess we will just do it the old fashion way." The bald-headed beard eagle said.
