Amelie's POV 

"TAPOS NARIN!" sigaw ni Shella sabay higa sa sofa. 

"Mamaya na kayo maging kampante. The blocking is here" sabi ni Titus sabay on sa malaking tv screen. 

Inextpect ko na makakakita ng apat or tatlong block pero isa lang ang lumabas at dun nagkompulan ang 60 plus groups. 

"Anong nangyare? Bakit hindi divided?" tanong ko

"They changed it. Pinababilis nila ang competition because 2 staff were kidnapped last night. In short, all groups will be fighting the survival game and remaining 3 groups will win" 

Apatay, pwede ba umuwi nalang? 

"What are we gonna do now?" Khalil

"We will all be transported in the field differently. In the opening field, kung saan magaganap ang opening countdown, may makikita kayong weapons and other supplies sa gitna ng circle, don't go for those things, instead go directly to the vehicles behind you. There will only be 10 vehicles in a circle of 20 people kaya make sure na makuha niyo yun. People will start taking other people's points so be alert" 

"Kahit anong mangyari, we need to meet in this spot" sabi niya sabay pakita ng isang malaki at mataas puno na nasa falls. "This is located in the center of north east of the map" ok, so san yun? 

"You don't have to worry, may ibibigay silang supplies sa lahat ng competitors, kasali na dun ang digital map, earpiece and compass, with those tools even the most directionally dumb person can get to the falls" di mo sure teh. 

"The vehicle can only go 10 km kaya may iilan sa atin ang kailangang itakbo ang natitirang kilometers. They will also give us 10 smoke flares, kung papalapit na kayo sa falls, magpalabas kayo ng isa para mapuntahan kayo. The smoke flares are color-coded according to the chosen color of the group, sa atin ay dark blue, so kung may nakita kayong smoke flare na iba ang kulay lumayo o magtago agad kayo" 

"We all need to get to the falls before night comes. Kung di ka nakapunta sa falls bago mag gabi, stay where you are and get some rest there, sleep on a tree, avoid using fire or any light para di ka maka attract ng ibang groupo. The map will get smaller and smaller because the map will start putting natural disasters and other destruction to force everyone to meet. So kung nalayo ka sa groupo, try to survive and head to the center of the safe zone, and at exactly 12 noon magpalabas tayong lahat ng smoke flare para malaman natin kung saan tayo, that's the only time you can use the smoke flares, cause using it constantly will attract other groups. Kung ikaw yung nahiwalay, kapag napalabas mo na yung smoke flare mag tago ka agad and only come out kung andito na kami. Before I forget, all the captains will be carrying the weapons kaya wala kayong dadalhing weapon pagpasok niyo sa game, that's why it's very crucial na magkita tayong lahat"

"Kung may nawawala pa rin sa'tin repeat the 12 noon method hanggang mag kita tayong lahat, all I've said is optional when emergencies occur. Any questions?"

"Mamamatay ba tayo?" tanong ko, tiningnan nila ako lahat

"No, the facilitators will manipulate our weapons, armor and even body to avoid death by using a certain unique. Kung natamaan ka, instead of death, you'll be in a comma until the competition ends, a plane will then come to take the bodies. No one dies in the competition, kahit natural disasters pa, tho you will definitely feel the pain" 

"Any more questions?" wala nang nagsalita "Good, I'm expecting that everyone understood. Get some rest now, tomorrow morning will be the beginning of the competition"
