The Player's System

Chapter 27 - Escape

Escape

Hammer boy was busy at breaking the door. Sashi was confined at the other side placement. The slaves saw her alone and started entering inside. They had been waiting for this chance. Since they found the female player in the placement they made some whirring sounds. Sashi held her weapon to kill them one by one. 

It was not easy. They were in huge numbers and she was confined here. At the other side of the room, Junan cursed seeing the shameless serpent. The serpent was able to separate them and now it was using this smoke stunt to show how capable it was against the players. 

"To hell with this smoke, do the things necessary be shocking for us?" Junan gritted his teeth. These ogres were designed smart while using the skills. On other way how on earth they could know that smoke could easily kill players if they were confined in some place. They were definitely smart. 

The smoke increased in the room. The players recklessly attempted at first to kill few of them. The serpent as well as the ogres stepped back seeing that the players were attacking. Releasing smoke stuck any other actions of the creatures. They were also looking for the smoke to work. 

Hammer boy was in the middle of breaking the door. The room was nearly filled with the green smoke and any time soon the players might get poisoned seriously unable to walk or think anything to save their lives. Junan dragged his feet to look for the escape. His team members were equally caught in the situation. 

The ogres and the serpent were reluctant to face the weapons of the players. They seemed confident about the poison smoke. "Jump outside from the window on the left corner." Junan spotted the window in the first placement. He coughed and uttered using all the air accumulated in his lungs. 

As soon as he ordered the serpent and the ogres got alert. The team members were very well aware about the severity of the order. It means there was no other way than to save the life. They hurried and killed the ogres those tried to stop them in their way. Junan and two other team members jumped out of the window while Hammer boy finally broke the door. 

He could see Sashi surrounded with the slaves. According to the instructions of the team head, they could no more stay in the cottage and battle ogres. The window was near. The hammer boy killed his way through and ordered Sashi to follow him. Sashi followed behind killing the creatures. 

Junan was out of the room and able to save the life of two team members. "This serpent is sure going to regret when the cottage would fell. I am sure you know what to do?" he looked at the young players. Jake nodded. His detonators were given enough cool down. The dynamite pouches were also ready. 

Jake threw the pouches inside the first room. "Use only one at first. We don't know about the other two players whether they are able to escape or not." Jake understood and followed. The dynamite pouch could not go further because the ogres were blocking the window ready to jump outside. 

The subsequent blast though stopped their bodies shredding them in pieces. All windows opened up at the backyard of the cottage. "You go hurry and check whether other two also came out in time?" Junan ordered the second team member. He was planning to blast the cottage and kill the serpent before it could escape. Being team head and the experienced players Junan was had premonition that the eyeless serpent was among main culprits. 

He was accurate in his opinion. The main culprits were designed in the game portal in order to fulfill the job to kill the players unless the players kill those 'MC'c… main culprits. The Cobra Lord would not let it go and the serpents were obliged to follow the orders. This first serpent if escape, it would definitely come looking again creating some trap. Leaving MC's alive meant that leaving constant threat of well acquainted enemy. 

Now that they crossed paths of each other, they were bound to face again. Hammer boy and Sashi jumped out of the window and at the same time they heard first blast. The second team member reached them little later. The remaining slaves were killed in their way. Now they were heading toward the team head. 

Junan saw them and ordered to attack again. This time Jake used second supply throwing inside the cottage. The serpent was near at the front door to escape when the dynamite blasted. The front door was safe for now but the blast did not let it escape. Orin and Albert heard the blast; they got worried because none of the team members were out yet from the cottage. At least they did not see any of them. 

"Move back, the cottage would collapse anytime soon." Junan gestured them in hurry and they jumped out of the outer wooden wall. In place of clearing the cottage they ended up blasting it. The serpent died and it reduced their coming problems little bit. However three serpents would sure chase these players to hell when they will come to know. 

Albert spotted the team head and nodded. His breath was stuck in his throat thinking about the possible circumstances in the cottage. They were moving with plausible pace and the chances of winning level one was looking conceivable. Their team was showing potential until now. 

"Did any of you get announcement about the other two teams?" Junan asked when they gathered at the outer street. "There is no single announcement while I am concerned that none of the opponent player came to bother us after the first colony." Orin uttered looking around. 

They were sure that the other two teams would try to create nuisance for them but surprisingly no one appeared.. They were walking toward the second cottage of this third colony when they spotted someone crawling on the street.
