Chapter 81 - Desert Simulation 2
But, today morning. She met with female seniors. Ina Walker and Andrea Kramer both were worried that, Max Stewart didn\'t respond to their call.
They approached Steven Conway. He asked the Stewart Family. But, they didn\'t respond either..
Such events caused depressing situations among friends. Actually, four of them sometimes do assignments together. They were a team.
Now, there is no news about one guy. Their worry is understandable.
But, she is surprised to see Zack\'s behavior. Zack won\'t act like that. He detests something like that. She saw it when comes to the Marcus Moore incident.
That\'s why it\'s even more puzzling. From his actions. It looks like, He doesn\'t want to answer my question.
Candace furrowed her eyebrows. But, she already informed the seniors. That, she saw Max and Zack leaving together yesterday.
They will confront him sooner or later. Let\'s see what he will do then.
Meanwhile, Zack, in a small room.
I was looking around this small room. Instead of naming it as a small Room. It\'s better to call it as V.R Room. This Small chamber is a Virtual Simulation Chamber. There is an advanced pod installed here.
I took the V.R helmet and wore it. After I entered the pod chamber. I saw a server for desert simulation. I entered the credentials of my student account.
I knew what\'s going to happen. I already witnessed it in the library. But, that is educational stuff. This is survival.
After successful verification. I appeared in a strange location. It\'s not my real body. It\'s a virtual body. I looked around and started to move.
Unlike the library, my movements were not restricted here. This place looks red. It\'s got something to do with the soil. But, I\'m not sure.
From my spot, I couldn\'t spot a single tree. There were only hard landscapes and some red sands. I don\'t know what the goal of this test is.
You have some basic sense. When comes to gravity. But here I couldn\'t guess anything. So, I waited in one spot.
Meanwhile, In the discussion Hall.
"Still nothing?" uttered Ina Walker. Beside her, Andrea Kramer and Steven Conway look gloomy.
"I think, there is a way to find out what happened?" revealed Steven Conway. Hearing him, both of the girls became attentive.
"We should visit Max\'s home and ask his parents." Told Steven Conway.
Hearing that, both of the girls became silent. They don\'t know what to say. Suddenly, Andrea Kramer said, "We should ask Zack Lockwood?"
Hearing that, Steven got surprised. He doesn\'t have any impression of that junior.
He asked, "What about him?" "Earlier, Junior Candace told us, she saw Zack and Max leaving together yesterday." Andrea Kramer told to them. Hearing that, Steven Conway was surprised further.
Max Stewart, why would he talk with a junior student? What\'s the matter? Such a thought ran through his mind.
Meanwhile, Zack, in V R simulation.
Temperature getting hotter. I can feel the energy in the Virtual body is getting lost. Even though my real body is fine.
The data in the simulation affect the Virtual body. "How am I going to find water in this area?" I commented in my heart.
Looks, like I\'m going to fail in this basic hurdle. Forgot about fighting the monster here. I said mirthlessly to myself.
Time went by, I traveled some distance in the region. Yet, I couldn\'t come across any water source. There is no point in continuing here. I logged out of the V. R and exited the chamber.
There is nothing useful to learn from this V.R simulation. Then I shifted my focus to the underground. I walked towards the underground room.
It\'s a metal room. There is A.I monitor screen in front of it. I scanned my credentials.
I saw some instructions to be followed inside. After reading it. I needed to do a couple of things. I need to change my dress.
There is a special environment suit, I have to wear. The suit was black in color. Even the head part has to be covered with a mask.
After completing the task. I entered the room. It was a dome structure. I felt like walking on the sand. As I looked down, I found it was really sand. In order to make it realistic.
They placed some stuff here. There are some huge rocks similar to the original environment.
Soon, the timer was on. I immediately felt a hot air wash over me. I stumbled backward a little. "This is new" I smiled a little.
Time went by, the hot air started to blow very often. I can somewhat understand its purpose. I tried walking in the sand against hot air. At first, it was fine.
But, then I noticed something. The Sand\'s temperature started to rise. After noticing I quickened my pace and reached the other end.
This chamber is basically tested your adaptability. From the start, I set up a manual timer. After each successful attempt. I increased the timing to challenge myself.
It\'s hard to imagine fighting Class Monsters in that environment. Even there is a situation. I believe it would be team fighting rather than solo fighting. I removed these thoughts from my mind and continued my training.
Meanwhile, In Ron Stewart\'s discussion room. At his Residence.
"Are you hiding something, Mr. Stewart? " Questioned Mr. Arthur Emerson.
Beside him, Mr. James Lockwood seated in this room. In front of them, Ron Stewart appeared to be tense.
After hearing, Mr. Arthur Emerson\'s question. He didn\'t want to hide it further. Because there is no fruitful development yet.
From both Thomas Trade Centre and Auction Company.
Which makes his earlier assumption quite possible. He looked at both of them and decided to reveal.
Hearing his revelation. Both Mr. Arthur Emerson and Mr. James Lockwood stood up. This is really unexpected answer. But, we need evidence to back it up.
Otherwise, Both TTC and Auction company will treat it as a missing person case.
