Part 3

I hear a single sound of a beep, a disconnection from the HQ phone.It doesn't look good for us, we have almost depleted our rations, it maybe only last for half a day, if we don't save it. I regret I didn't bring my favorite can foods, I thought this campaign only last for one day. I don't like this situation, neither the HQ, we have no intel or information about this level 2 package.
Then Rob suddenly rise from his seat.
"Glad to hear that HQ, why not spend our entire weekend having a barbecue in here? How about that?"
It makes me thinking, what's so important in this package. If it's important why they send us? I keep asking myself because they only send one unit, maybe it's because they want to press our tasks as secretly as possible.
None of our friends and seniors know about our mission, this was supposed to be kept under the book.
Ever since I begin my military career, this one was the strangest campaign ever.
Then Juan wakes me up from my thinking.

"Hey guys i don't want to badmouthing here, but do you think HQ send us here it's because of hmm.."
There was a silence between what Juan said.
"What?" Orto asked curiously.
"You know, that rumor, that legend."
"What legend? I never heard any rumor."
"I kept feeling uneasy, when HQ dispatch us here, you know when the war happened. Back at the HQ folks told me this story."
"Oh, i don't like where this is heading." Rob looking nervously back at the broken road we have passed.
"They said this place is sacred." Juan continue his paranoid story
"Sacred? What do you mean by sacred?" Amy joining the story.
"It's haunted you know."
Ok, I hate this.
"Define haunted." Orto asked again
"We know a lot of people died right? But this one is different. You all heard commander tell us to keep going through the north, passing Kalimati river. That place actually haunted."
"So you are saying we are going to see uhmm.. these dead people, is that what you mean?" I asked bravely.
"Yeah, perhaps." He hesitated before answering.
It's not common you hear dead people can rise again and become something you called ghost. I never heard of these rumors again. Dead bodies was burnt right away, there is no ceremony or something to mourn you love ones. We are afraid they could turn into this freaking monster called "Turals". People in the past like my father they told me once about this legend, where you can see the spirit of dead people wandering around seeking for their love ones or even revenge of their dead, its like a dead soul with no purpose n this world until they were satisfied get what they want. For i know, Turals is already scary to face rather than these dead souls.
"They said sometimes you can heard a little baby crying, a dead woman wearing white gown flying and a beheaded man, and.."
"Alright! Stop it!" Rob shouted cutting Juan story, i can see he is sweating nervously."
"No please, don't stop carry on! I want to hear the rest. It's not often you can heard this story in the camp." Amy yelled to him.
"There is also a little kid running around, a doll that can speak by itself, and an old grandma walking toward you." He continue the story trying to scaring Rob.
"I'll kick your ass if you don't stop."
Juan pretends sounding like a ghost.
"Nahh, i don't buy that lame tale." Orto let a big sigh. Interrupting Juan scaring Rob.
"It looks like going to be fog, i barely can see 50m ahead."
As far as i'm having concern, this weather doesn't look good. We are in the middle of wasteland. Been two days out of here with no backup. Only radio here for contacting the HQ. Telling a tale story, is one way to get entertain i can say that.
"You hear the old man, let's take a rest for now." Orto suggestion seems not good. The land is still wet, because of yesterday raining and it's way too cold resting outside.
"Where can we take a rest?" Amy glare around finding a nice place.
"There seems nice." I point out a place under a cliff. It attracts me since we stop here contacting the HQ. There was a small house, a broken house but still quite convenient to rest for a while.
"Nice finding." Rob praised me on my little achievement."Lets have a tour there."
"Sounds good." Amy agrees with us.
"Alright, it settles then. Let's camp over that house." Orto taking the lead in front of us.
