The group of rescued people made themselves comfortable in the cave and rested. Some even decided to fall asleep for a while. Some decided to stay and stand guard with their guns in case any of the monsters came here. Wakowski, the anthropomorphic trio and Mad Carl were sitting on a large boulder and thinking.
โ What else can usually live underground besides all sorts of dung beetles and ants? โ Knuckles asked.
โ Well, all sorts of centipedes, worms, mice. โ Maddie suggested. โ I myself donโt know for sure what else could be underground.
โ It felt like we were in some kind of horror movie and became part of it. Or as if someone had shrunk us so that we would experience the wrath of Mother Nature because man had abused her for years. โ Karl thought.
โ No, these are all the tricks of G.U.N. Now we are completely convinced of this. And all these giants are simply from another universe, where everything is gigantic, which explains why they are so enlarged. And that fog appeared completely by accident, since the air in both worlds was too different in temperature. โ Sonic explained.
Suddenly, the entire group of rescued people heard a strange noise. As if something was exploding from above somewhere or rustling.
โ Did you hear that? โ asked Maria.
โ It seemed like something was hissing. โ Tails answers.
โ Do you think it's a snake? โ Sonic asked.
โ No. Doesn't look much like a snake. โ Karl answers.
The noise was repeated a couple more times and the ceiling began to slowly crumble.
โ It's coming straight towards us! โ said Jerry.
โ I'm scared! โ Ekaterina hugged her mother.
โ Everyone, take your guns and be ready! โ the sheriff commands and all the armed people, taking out their guns, aim at the collapsing ceiling. If itโs a snake or a worm digging through the ground, then essentially with all these weapons and ammunition for them they should be able to cope with it. And only if they shoot at him at the same time.
The ground on the ceiling collapsed and it was an iron drill that drilled right through the ground and then came back up. The group of rescued people was shocked by what they saw. One of the G.U.N soldiers immediately descended from above. armed with a bazooka and looked around.
โ All is clear! No monsters found! Bring out the civilians! โ he said over the radio and more soldiers began to descend from the hole in the ceiling. They approached each person, lightly grabbed them by the shoulders and led them away.
โ Don't worry! You are now safe! โ says each of them.
The rescued group didnโt even begin to resist, but were surprised how they all survived and were found here? A hole in the ceiling was dug even deeper with the help of a drill to make a path to the surface and each person was taken from the dungeon back to the sun. But on the surface there was simply an inexplicable miracle. The fog slowly began to dissipate and disappear, and the bright sun was shining in the sky again with a beautiful blue sky. Even Wakowski, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles were surprised as they looked around. Some of the G.U.N. soldiers We didnโt sit idly by and acted. A couple of them, armed with flamethrowers, even burned out the remaining tentacles of a huge octopus, which itself had apparently died long ago from lack of water. In addition, there were a bunch of corpses of huge mosquitoes, ants and spiders lying around. It looks like the military really had everything under control. Itโs as if they knew that such a catastrophe would happen and took precautions in advance to be prepared for this in advance and skillfully handled saving the world from these giants.
All civilians from the supermarket were taken to vacant military trucks to transport civilians. Some of these trucks were already full of some people. Among them, they noticed in one of the trucks those five who themselves decided to leave the supermarket and find help. Apparently they did find her. And they probably told the soldiers that they apparently stayed in the supermarket or most likely went underground to feed the ants, but they were not confused and immediately began to look for them underground.
โ Maddie! โ the sheriffโs wife heard a familiar voice. She turned to the right and noticed her mother in one of the trucks, as well as JoJo and their dog Ozzy, who were also safe and sound. She was incredibly happy about this. It turns out that some people in other cities and houses were not as slightly stupid as they were in the supermarket, they knew in advance what to do in order to survive and also waited for the salvation that they eventually received.
โ Where are you taking us? โ Wade asked, and one of the soldiers explained:
โ Do not worry! With us you are now completely safe and we know what we are doing. We've almost gotten rid of all these huge insects. Soon you will all return home and begin your normal lives again.
โ Everyone, donโt crowd and climb one at a time! Now the area will be cleared and cleanup will take place!
Everyone was put in their own truck and all the trucks with civilians drove off, while the rest of the soldiers with tanks and air fighters remained in place for now and continued to inspect the area to clear it. Sonic, in one of these trucks, directly addressed one of the soldiers:
โ Sorry! Is it true that you wanted to open the multiverse and see if other worlds existed?
โ Yes. This was originally supposed to be secret. We thought first of exploring every new world to the last, and only then telling all of humanity about it. However, something went wrong and those giant insects burst through the portal. But fortunately, we knew in advance that such a catastrophe could happen and secured ourselves in advance. But we donโt know yet about the fog. Perhaps this fog accidentally came to us from another world. But itโs good that it is now slowly dissolving. How did you know?
โ While we were underground there... We accidentally came out of another tunnel to your lost base.
โ A! Now itโs clear where you got your weapons, just like ours.
โ But that is not all. We saw your portal with data and... โ At first Sonic wanted to tell them about what really happened, but then he decided to lie to protect Tails: โ Another accident occurred and your portal exploded. Boom. It was destroyed in some unknown way, and the data was caught in an explosion and burned.
โ Okay! Screw them! The main thing is that you are all alive. And the most important thing is that even though the portal was destroyed, we now know that parallel worlds still exist. And one of them may even be dangerous, like the one where those insects came from.
โ Where are you taking us now? โ Sonic asked, and the soldier answered him:
โ For now, we will transport all civilians from place to place. When the whole nightmare is over, we will then return each of you to your homes. Unless we have to take you, Sonic, as well as Wakowski and your yellow and red friends to a new base to Major Bennington and interrogate you there about how you managed to hold out for so long and almost die? What were the losses and what did you see underground there? They will question you about everything and then let you go.
The hedgehog did not interrogate the soldier further or interfere with him. He stood near the railing of the truck, folded his hands on them and looked straight at the sun, which was slowly setting. He couldn't believe what they had all experienced together today. It seems like we went to the supermarket to buy food and then just return home. But in the end it all turned into such dangerous and scary adventures with survival. But still, they all survived together, which means everything they did was right. In many ways, they probably all need to thank the woman who read Stephen King and retold a lot from there. She was more like a prophet or a missionary who was always right and knew what they all had to do in order to all survive together. Once the military G.U.N. They'll finish the cleanup and release them all, apparently they'll do just that. Together with the Vakovskys, they will someday go to visit that woman and thank her for the great help she provided. Even though she herself was almost idle while they all worked and acted.
