Chapter 16 - CHAPTER 16: Variant kingdom (1)

KYAAAAAA, the sound vibration of a mysterious animal resounded in the deep jungle startling a small bug, calling the bug small might be regarded as a misunderstanding, because the bug had the hight of a human child of three years, the bug hid himself in a tree trunk so as to avoid any predator lautering around, but the hole he chose had already an occupant which was another bug, which did not want to shear, the other bug had no choice to fly away in search for a safe place, but before he arrives mid air, a giant tongue caught him, and swallowed him full; the giant frog, with red color mixed with black dots was happy about his dinner, unknowingly not far from him a green snake with six horns on the head and brown eyes was starring at him hungrily.

In this giant jungle, nature had regain back his original place, the food chain has remain untouched, the predators feed on the preys, the ecosystem is more flouricent as ever, this jungle carried the name of LOST GREEN, it's abundant species and unexplored zone was so fascinating.

"How long are we going to observe this desolate land..... boring " said Anopelda, she kept looking at the monitor and complaining, besides her was Jerry who, as time passes had gotten use to Anopelda unnecessary complains, "hmmm.. your not wrong, it is quite boring, but it is well paid and we can avoid going to war against the humans in Orion who are seeking freedom" she said why scrolling the ball shape mouse, "those damd humans, who the hell do the think the our?, we saved them from institution, who gave them a land, but all the had to do was to provide us cobayes for experimental research, the complaint, ungrateful piece of shits" Anopelda cursed looking frustrated, she voted against the liberty of humans having independents in Orion, and because the election went for the favor of the humans, the took it for granted and demanded more, which enraged her, she got annoyed and fired a bullet which killed a young girl human, this triggered a riot; the humans wanted compensation for the family and a punishment, she was send in this monitor satellite to survey a strange planet, but the humans were not satisfied and wanted that she should be seriously punish, it is only after two weeks that she heared that, the liberty granted to humans have been canceled leading to their confinement, eventually Anopelda was happy and wanted to go back but her punishment wasn't lifted, so she had to still wait for the administrative department to cancel the punishment.

"What is special about this planet... it looks deserted and deprived of any intelligent creatures, all we can see our the usual ecological procedure like in other planets" Anopelda asked, since she was new, "haaa..I think, I told you to read the information provided by the staff about earth zero" Jerry which was actually a tomboy and an addicted to cigar sight before speaking, "Ha!, sorry, I forgot.... but you said Earth zero... so this is the humans homeland or should I say former homeland?" Anopelda asked, "Yes, it is, but know abandon, our role, is to survey any anomalies and report to the HQ if something is out if ordinary", Jerry answered, "Have the ever been cases of anomalies?", Anopelda asked, "Gosh.. you better look into the report, five anomalies have been recorded and what you are observing now is one of them" Jerry answered her as she kept scrolling the mouse ball.

Anopelda nodded, she stood up and headed to the large screen of the satellite, she could see a various types of planet; normally this is supposed to be impossible, but, the satellite screen had an extraordinary ability to zoom in far distance planet, giving the possibility to observe other planets from afar, but Anopelda wasn't interested in those useless planet, what she was actually looking at was the the planet newly named Earth zero, she read the report given to her by Jerry.

According to the earth timescale, it most be thousands years that earth has been ravaged by the miasma of the apocalypse, and expedition was carried out after two years, but nobody came back, the HQ suspected the existence of intelligent creatures or beings but as time passed, the concluded that, the most have been killed by creatures.

The Orion HQ decided to play prudence, so the installation of an orbital satellites, so as to monitor earth's activity, since then five major anomalies have been recorded.

Anomaly number one: the apparition of the five zones, the Green, red, purple, blue and the black zone. The Green zone was made up of a giant forest triple the size and length of the Amazon forest... or maybe more... what's this amazon forest?, buff, only 30% of the forest have been explored, but the discovery of creatures which could be classified calamity level in their planet live inside lost Green.

Red zone; a sea of flames and black gas, this environment is typically hell on earth but creatures live inside, lava worms, wyvern and so on, this environment was typically a thermal hell, and coincidentally, it carried the name, THERMAL HELL.

Purple zone, a zone with a distinct singularity with the other zones, recently discovered... or should I say accidentally discovered, with the verification of the seismic zone, we discovered the existence of a living ecosystem underground, but inability to explore it makes it difficult to collect data.

Blue zone, from it's name and color attribution, the sky is also mention, the sparkling blue light covering earth zero is actually not regarded as an habitation, because the surface heat radiation had created a sort of protection layer, any object or organism who comes in contact with it would disintegrate.

Finally black zone..... no data, unexplored, Anopelda looked at the document and was confused, why those the black zone has no data of it?, she thought, if the black zone is unexplored that only mean that it's dangerousity most be.....Anopelda's thoughts and reflection were caught down by an alarm.

[Taaaa...taaaa..taaa....warning anomaly detected, anomaly detected], the system gave out an emergency warning, "which zone?!" Jerry asked the system as she urgently type on the virtual keyboard, [Black zone: abyss], "what!" Both Jerry and Anopelda exclaim in shock, "Anopelda.... warn the HQ and inform Mrs valatin, the abyss has cracked...emergency level 3", Jerry passed her order why her eyes did not leave the screen; the monitor zoomed on a particular portion of earth zero, this portion was entirely covered with black gas, like a road leading to the abyss.
