Day 236 - Thursday - 10:15 PM

We were all frozen. No one expected this. K-Zhaii, calm as ever, looked at us and whispered, "I have a plan... but first, we surrender."
32Please respect copyright.PENANAMJWEqOXkTx
It didn't make sense, but something in his voice made us trust him. Slowly, we stepped out and raised our hands. The masked people handcuffed and blindfolded us. I could sense Dev next to me-trembling. I leaned closer and whispered, "It's alright, Dev. I'm here."
32Please respect copyright.PENANAUWPTu7W7qa
They led us through winding paths, dragging us like prisoners. After what felt like forever, our blindfolds were removed. We were seated on a bench inside a dimly lit room, torches flickering against concrete walls.

Moments later, a tall figure in a dark brown robe and dark golden mask entered. All the others bowed and chanted,
"All hail the All-Known!"
32Please respect copyright.PENANAtqu5oPtxFg
He raised his hand and silence fell. Removing his mask, he revealed a bearded, wild-eyed face and declared:
32Please respect copyright.PENANAvXLTYAuun5
> "I am a messenger of the gods. This apocalypse is their punishment. My duty... is to continue the divine feast-by offering humans to the Rottens."
32Please respect copyright.PENANAIXPzaZgf1K
His words hit like ice.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAShdI7uVzlr
He called his people the Servants and claimed they had been following us ever since we rescued Kohila and her brother.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAPoQZ1JN4uX
> "By sunrise, you all will be served to the zombies."
32Please respect copyright.PENANAKICQ8nb9Dh
And then he left.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAJYsj1CoLPC
The door slammed shut. Two guards stood outside. K-Zhaii, already out of his cuffs somehow, leaned toward us.
"I've got a tracker in my bag. They brought our stuff here-we're getting out."
32Please respect copyright.PENANAimME0nCzco
Kohila suddenly screamed, faking distress. As the guards rushed in, K-Zhaii sprang forward, taking both down in seconds with brutal precision.
He wasn't just strong-he was trained. A master of multiple martial arts.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAFbYah9rw8d
We moved quickly. The room where our weapons and gear were stored was just ahead. K-Zhaii held off the guards while we geared up. I handed Kohila a fire axe. We also found a stash of guns and ammunition.

As we moved deeper into the building, we encountered powered security doors-but thankfully, Mr. Shaiful's Hackbrain device worked flawlessly. Each lock blinked green with a beep.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAFfsUcUG1u0
Then we found it.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAscyqWp8EU2
A basement, holding caged Rottens and even two Bulks-being used for god-knows-what. That's when K-Zhaii and I shared a look. An unspoken idea sparked.
32Please respect copyright.PENANA8WUNvbjPCF
We moved quickly.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAZPiHCauhIl
Suddenly, the All-Known appeared, charging at us with a massive axe. Before he could get close, Professor Joe pulled the trigger on his shotgun. One shot. It was over.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAci8FNYuIWC
We found a large cargo truck parked near the exit-its cage empty. Perfect for escape. We jumped in and just as we left the compound-
32Please respect copyright.PENANA3C27sHUMKc
> 💥 BOOOOMMMM!
32Please respect copyright.PENANAzOcPBj1Kmt
The whole building exploded behind us. The explosives we planted in the basement did their job.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAa9jwMQrgN6
We didn't look back.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAXN359zW2FD
Ajay held up the dark golden mask.
32Please respect copyright.PENANA4s0wYrQrrb

Day 237 - Friday - 6:30 AM
We arrived at a small Indian temple hidden inside a peaceful kampung. It was quiet. Sacred.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAgqFoQ44PzY
We were drained. No one had slept properly since Lumut. We agreed to rest inside the temple hall. Even heroes need sleep.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAkXF4cPhkaM
We took shifts. The silence felt like heaven.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAQB67O3Z6Sg
But our journey to Melaka wasn't over yet...
