small chaptel : Quarantine

On April 19, 2024, after receiving information from his father, Sugi immediately reported his father's experience that morning to Captain Hasan. Captain Hasan listened attentively, then nodded thoughtfully.

"Alright," said Captain Hasan. "I will report this issue to the higher-ups so that the entire Samarinda forest can be quarantined. We must ensure that no one goes in or out to prevent any worse incidents. We also need to wait for Dr. Müller to regain consciousness in the hospital so we can get more detailed information."

Captain Hasan looked at Sugi seriously. "Go and inform everyone to get ready. We will start quarantining the forest immediately."

Sugi quickly carried out the order. He ran to the base to inform his colleagues about the quarantine plan. They all began to prepare earnestly, realizing the importance of this mission.

While the team was preparing equipment and logistics for the quarantine, Captain Hasan contacted his superiors to report the situation. After a while, the official order came down: The Samarinda forest would be quarantined until the situation could be controlled and the source of the problem identified.

A few hours later, the team led by Captain Hasan and Sugi moved to strategic points around the forest to start the quarantine procedures. They set up barricades, arranged checkpoints, and ensured that no one could enter or leave without permission.

small Chapter II: Horror in the Samarinda Forest

Before the military could start the quarantine, Rudi Hasliman, the COO of PT Kelapa Sawit Nusantara, received information that the Samarinda forest had been out of contact for a day, and all employees there had disappeared. Realizing the urgency of the situation, Rudi quickly summoned some employees to go and check on the situation. However, they too disappeared without a trace.

Feeling anxious, Rudi instructed his secretary, Mina, to contact the police and request their assistance.

"Mina, contact the police and ask them to send some officers to check the situation in the Samarinda forest along with our employees. If there is any news, let me know immediately," Rudi said firmly.

Mina nodded and quickly carried out her task. Meanwhile, Rudi immediately contacted his superior, CEO Joko Hanjaya, to report the situation.

"Mr. Joko, I need to report that the Samarinda forest has been out of contact for a day and all our employees there have disappeared. We sent a team to check, but they also have not returned," Rudi reported.

CEO Joko Hanjaya gave only a brief response, "Okay," then hung up the phone. Rudi was confused and worried about what their CEO was thinking. He knew that the construction of facilities in the Samarinda forest was done without official permits and that the police had been bribed to turn a blind eye to their activities.

"I hope this situation doesn't turn into a bigger problem," Rudi thought, feeling uneasy.

Outside the gates of PT Kelapa Sawit Nusantara, many families of the employees who worked in the forest came to inquire about the condition of their loved ones. They were worried because there had been no news for a day.

One of the family members approached a security guard and asked anxiously, "Sir, excuse me. My husband hasn't come home from the forest since yesterday. Are they working overtime? Usually, he would let me know, but there's been no word until now. Can you help check?"

The security guard replied calmly, "Okay, ma'am, please wait a moment. I'll contact the PT administration and have them explain to you."

With a worried and anxious feeling, the woman replied, "Yes, I'll wait, sir. Please, I beg you." She felt anxious because her husband had never failed to contact her if he was working overtime or not coming home.

The security guard went inside the building to contact the administration, while the other families waited with bated breath, hoping for good news about their loved ones.

small Chapter III: Terror in the Forest

Before the military could begin the quarantine, the employees of PT Kelapa Sawit Nusantara and several police officers arrived at the Samarinda forest. They entered the forest by car, but midway, they had to get out and walk as the vehicles could go no further. They walked towards the logging site with a sense of unease.

One of the employees felt a bad premonition. "Officer, you have to protect us. I feel unsafe. I feel like we're being watched. My friend came here yesterday, but there's been no news from him since," the employee said with a trembling voice.

"Don't worry. We have eight police officers with weapons. It's safe. Show us the way, and we'll check the situation," one of the officers responded confidently.

When they arrived at the site, they were horrified to see blood everywhere and human bodies piled up and torn apart. Some parts appeared to have been eaten, while human heads were impaled on wooden stakes, standing as if in a gruesome display.

Everyone was shocked and screamed. The police immediately went on alert, pointing their weapons in all directions. Suddenly, from within the forest, a large leopard emerged and pounced on one of the people. The police were startled and fired their guns at the giant creature, but the bullets had no effect.

"Keep firing!" one of the police officers shouted.

Meanwhile, several giant monkeys emerged and attacked, biting the neck of one of the officers. The officer fought back and shot the monkey in the head, causing it to explode. "Their weakness is their head!" the officer yelled, warning the others. But there were too many of them.

From atop a tree, a large gorilla-like monkey jumped down and crushed the officer's head, splattering blood everywhere. Within moments, the giant monkeys had killed everyone without leaving a trace. The giant monkey surveyed the scene, then picked up a human body and began to chew on it.

With a guttural growl, the giant monkey spoke, "Kill all humans from this earth."
