The bus collapsed and slid down the slope, but fortunately, a large tree stood in its path. The tree slowed the fall and reduced some of the damage. Even so, it could not stop the bus from being badly damaged.
Luckily, all the students inside the bus were safe, including the teacher and the driver. However, a new problem soon appeared. They could not get out of the bus. The bus was hanging against the tree, and even a small movement could cause it to fall further down.
Although the distance between the bus and the ground was not very high, the bus was already on the edge of collapse. If it fell again, the bus would be completely destroyed, and the students inside could be injured, or worse, lose their lives.
Understanding that even the slightest movement could destroy the bus, the driver and the teacher were left without a solution.
They knew that, given the current situation, they had to do something. It was only a matter of time before the bus would fall.
The teacher and driver come up with 2 choice.
The first choice was a gamble: to let the bus fall, but not blindly. There was a solution, they could let the back of the bus drop first. Since the rear section had no glass windows, this would minimize the damage.
The second choice was to jump off the bus one by one before it fell. This option required speed and bravery. Given the height from the bus to the ground, they would not die from the fall, but they would likely sustain light injuries or, worse, broken bones.
Given the current situation, the most suitable choice was the first one. They knew well that if they chose the second option, they would likely trigger the bus's destruction if they were even a bit too slow.
This thought popped into the teacher's mind, and she quickly put it into action. First, she instructed all her students to divide into two groups: one would stay at the back of the bus, and the other would stay at the front. There were 25 students in total, not including the teacher and the driver.
Her plan was this: the students would divide into two groups, one with 15 members and the other with 10 members.
The group with 15 members would move to the back, while the group of 10 members would stay at the front with the teacher and driver.
To ensure the falling bus didn't hurt the students, she had to make it fall slowly. With 15 people at the back and 10 people (including the teacher and driver) at the front, the bus began to fall. It tipped from the rear first, and its speed was slowed because the weight between the back and the front was almost equal.
Normally the bus would fall very fast which 15 members at the back and 10 members at the front, but added teacher and driver weight it was almost Equal that's why the bus was called slowly.
The bus began to fall. Just like that the bus was slowly landing on the ground not even slightly damage could be triggered, this makes the students safely.
They began to walking out the bus one by one, but when they walked out of the bus they realized that Infront of them is a huge forest.
There are not even a trace of road could be seen no matter they trying to look around there's nothing else beside the tree and a rock.
Just as they about to finding the way back, a strongest wind from before suddenly happened again, this time without any thoughts, the teacher quickly shouted order the students to head back inside the bus.
They hide inside for a while waiting for the wind to disappear, because they landing in the forest filled with big tree, the influence of the wind didn't affected much to them.
After waiting in the bus for a while, the wind finally quiet knowing this the teacher and driver quickly go out to see the situation.
After confirming that the wind was really over she quickly told her students to come out.
They trying to find a way back, but knowing that to go back they have to walking through the slop and go back, but the slop was very high it might take them 1 or 2 day to climbing back.
So they choose to explore the forest trying to find a road or a town to seeking for helped.
Since they come to camping they already prepared food and important item for capping with them.
But because of the strong wind some of the food was destroyed and missing. Including the item.
"Wait, wait, wait... What is camping mean ?" Once again James suddenly cut off by someone.
The one who asked was none other than Pin. Hearing his question everyone their couldn't help but moved their head towards him.
Pin couldn't help but laughed awardly. James was cut by Pin two time, his expression twisted slightly.
This guy sure is have alot of questions, if this were in the class and he ask professor a question, he likely praise by professor.
James thought quietly in is mind, he didn't say it loud. He moved head towards Marcus.
Knowing that this was the time he have to show off, Marcus chuckled lowly, "Ahem, camping refer to the act of staying outdoor instead of inside building usually in forest, people build up tent and sleep in there for a short period of time. They also have make bonfire Infront of their camp and living or adventured there."
Everyone there feel enlightened after hearing Marcus explained, Lilian seemed to pondering for a bit before asking, "So did our current situation considered camping ?"
"In other word yes. But our camping is without planning and we haven't prepared anything even the forest itself feels very creepy." Marcus replied in low voice while saying his eye darted towards the darkness at the back of them.
He couldn't help but feel a chill ran down his spin. He quickly moved his gaze away and suddenly he seemed to realise something,
"Wait we currently doesn't have anything to eat..." After coming back from the forest he seemed to forget about the food.
Only when Lilian bring up this topic did he finally manage to realise this.
After hearing Marcus word, everyone their couldn't help but stunned on the food.
How did they forget that they don't have food to eat, this is indeed very strange.
Lilian face was mixed with shocked and fearful, the forest not only the forest was very creepy. Now they notching that they suddenly forget about the food.
This make them feel a dread and fearful towards the forest even more.
What how can I forget the food that I always eat everyday, no way there might be a problem with this forest beside their creepy.
The situation once again turned chaotic, everyone was getting scared by this bizzard thing, after all they eat food everyday how can they suddenly forget about it ?
Seeing the situation was out of hand, Lilian couldn't help but looks dumbfounded to Marcus and James.
She also looks at Ryan, since Ryan his mental health is stable better then when he first coming here.
Just as he was about stepped out and spoken, Marcus voice suddenly cut him off on the spot.
"Everyone please don't be panic, in this situation crying can't help us escape this situation it only makes it worse. And if you guys still continuing to shouted and crying it might trigger the monster who lurking nearby." His voice is very loud almost like a thunder.
Even though his voice is loud, but meet with alot of human voice who crying and shouting, he have to make it loud.
Hearing Marcus word, everyone who crying and shouting suddenly stopped. And they look dumbfounded at Marcus.
James who was beside Marcus quickly added, "Yes, cry is not the solution. Even if we don't have food for tonight we still alive, so for now we should persevere our energy for tomorrow exploration."
Everyone nodded their head slightly expressed their agreed with James word.
Marcus relaxed slightly after seeing the situation now was turned better.
Why did everyone metal heart is unstable, in terms of mentality I am was far better than them. Tsk only Lilian is better than me. No matter what I still find it impossible for her to have such a mentality even exceed me and James.
Lilian also relaxing when seeing this.
Tsk this Marcus guy now is getting better at conversations. Did novel really change human mind ?
Lilian thought quietly in her heart, she couldn't help but stole a glance at Marcus.
With that they finally manage to calm everything down, but James wasn't in the mood to tell the story now, since no matter where they look at, they always find it that dangerous was lurking around all of them.
This making them didn't want to sleep, since if they sleep, they won't know what happened when they fall asleep.
Just like that they just sit around the bonfire. They just sit there and looking at the flame who burned the withered leaf.
As for James there are a bunch of withered leaf beside him he continues to tossing it to the burning flame.
No one sleeping, as for Marcus he was looking left and right the entire time, it was as though he prepared to tell anyone if he seen a strange thing.
The atmosphere was very heavily. Unknownly someone suddenly falling to the ground, this triggered everyone attention.
Shock and stunning flashing across Pin face just as he was about to shouted for helping, his eye suddenly dropped bit by bit finally he fall the ground.
A look of disability flashes across Marcus face, one by one everyone was falling to the ground.
Lilian face was mixed with shock and confusion, she turned her head to face Marcus and was about to opened her mouth, when her eye suddenly dropped bit by bit before closing.
"What is happe..." a look of fear could be seen in Ryan brown like-eye. In the next second he also falling to the ground.
Marcus and James look at each other, a fear clearly flashed across their face, "No way how is this happening we need to save everyone."
James voice was very heavily it was as though he meet with something that can't be described by common sense.
But when he was about to move his eye started to dropped bit by bit. And finally it closes.
Marcus was the only one there, his expression is hard to describe, shock, stunning, fear, and saddest clearly shown on his face. "No I don't want to die..."
Just as he finish his sentence, his eye is also dropped bit by bit. Before his eye is completely shut the only thing he see is the burning flame.
The place was completely silent everyone was layed on the ground, only the sound of burning could be hear. The breeze swept passed the burning flame make it sway gently.
