He quickly took the two other Mushrooms and gave them to the other two.
"Here, eat this" they did.
After they did, their eyes lit up, and scanned the surrounding.
"Wonderful, we will not be lost with this" SamRex said.
"Where did you get it?" Mia asked.
"Huh, I just found them here. We should not waste any more time, let's leave before the one hour is up" Jon said making the other two nod.
"But which way should we go?" SamRex asked as he looked at the empty tunnel on both sides.
The tunnel didn't travel inward from the dome, but instead laid parallel, so they had to choose wisely, or they may get stuck when the dome shrunk.
Not even being able to run toward a safe area, and dying from HP depletion.
And so they looked troubled.
[Ding! Situation detected Creating choices….]
[1. Do nothing mentioned below. Reward: Nothing
2. Take the left tunnel. Reward: You will get a sword.
3. Take the Right tunnel. Reward: you will get a bag of the smoke bombs]
'Finally' Jon thought.
This is the first time that the System really gave a choice to him.
If he turned left, then it would be a sword. If right, then it is a smoke bomb.
His mind weighed both options, the sword would be difficult to explain, if he pulled it out of nothing but it would be a good asset fighting onwards.
On the other hand, the smoke bomb can be only used once, but he can easily lie about picking it up early in the game.
He contemplated for a while, as Mia and SamRex argued over what to do.
"Let's take the Right," SamRex said.
"Let's take the left," Mia said. It was a pointless argument since none of them was backed by any reason.
They are just simply arguing for argument's sake when everything depends on luck.
Since both of them took the opposite stands, his voice would be the tiebreaker so he thought for a while.
"Okay, let's take the right" he finally said since he can't explain the sword.
And what use it is when he can't kill as he wished? A smoke bomb would be better since it will cover escape.
And so he decided to choose the third option.
[Choice selection successful, you have received: a bag of the smoke bombs]
While Mia looked like she was put out, she decided to respect their choice and take the right side.
They continued their way to the right, their steps had general hastiness since it is nearly 20 minutes after the dome shrunk.
The tunnel is empty for most of the way, other than the occasional wooden support built for mining.
It was like a never-ending journey as they continued on.
After 15 minutes, just when they freaked out they had taken the wrong tunnel.
They saw something new, a mine cart with a railway track traveling inwards the tunnel.
"Should we?" SamRex asked since they are already running out of time.
The other two nodded and the three sat inside the cart.
It was a bit tight for Jon since Mia and her armor plus Sam's large body took over most of the place.
Jon had to half crouch and pulled the lever releasing the lock, letting the cart move by natural gravity.
At first, it was slow, but as the cave became more slighted the cart became more faster.
The tunnel wasn't always slighting downwards, as it would mean they may not travel to the exit but deeper instead.
It made some quick upward slighting, and the cart made past them using momentum.
The time continued to trickle down, as another 10 minutes went by.
They had pretty much healed by now, using the natural recovery rate and some available berries.
The cart became only faster as they looked on worried. Only 15 more minutes left, and for SamRex who was a steamer, this boring time means, the viewers may leave for other channels.
So to entertain them he started chatting about all the things he did from getting inside the game.
But he did so with a special mute feature which made it so only the viewers can hear him but not the player.
And so Jon can only blankly look on as SamRex's lips moved constantly.
Just when he is frustrated and decided to annoy the system, the cart began to slow down and finally stopped completely.
"mmmm, why did it stop?" Jon looked as if there is still a track going onward. But the other two didn't complain as they can't bear it anymore. They rather walk.
"Seriously, there should be some more content. Some people might not be patient enough to sit through the entire 20 minutes journey" SamRex complained.
Jon was going to ask what he is speaking of when the land had a slight tremor.
"Wait, what's that?" Mia asked getting ready to bash anything; since she had no good weapon it severely restricted her fighting.
SamRex quickly took out the crossbow and was ready to swing it.
The bolt had been lost in the fight in the kitchen, and so he restored to use it as a bashing tool.
And surprisingly it served the purpose well.
Jon himself took the two knives deciding to double wield.
The tremor grows closer until they saw it.
A large number of Raptors making their way toward them.
"FUCK!" SamRex cursed as he started to run, he still remembered the pain of being bitten by dozens of them.
Mia knows a hopeless cause when she sees it and decided to turn tail.
Jon did the same even before the two.
Even then the distance between the two parties only shortened more, the Raptors are faster than them.
Just then Jon had a sudden idea, he withdraw the bag of smoke bombs and throw them behind him without stopping as they took a turn in the tunnel.
The bomb hid the ground and started a large smoke.
"FUCK! Where did I get that?" Fatty asked as he run along him.
"Why the hell didn't you use it before now?" Mia on the other hand was angrier since he could have used it in the Kitchen.
If so they might not be rushing now, not knowing if they can make it before the one hour is up.
The bomb worked just fine, as Jon timed the usage on a turn, making most of the Raptors hit the solid wall and the others crash against each other in the chaos.
They sped up still, since the Raptors may still chase them.
"Hey, look, there is light!" SamRex exclaimed.
It means they will be out soon.
