CHAPTER 28 – DEADLY TREES

Following Nathan’s orders, team two continues deeper into the jungle. After walking another fifty meters, they discover a pair of large, long, flexible, hollow tubes lying on the ground. The outside of the tubes looks like tree bark, but they’re kind of rubbery, semi-transparent, and they curve back and forth along the jungle floor.

Ms. Huxley and Mr. Daniels get down on one knee to examine the tubes, while Mr. Hernandez and Ms. Vasquez stand guard, watching the jungle.

Ms. Huxley asks, “What the hell are these things?”

Mr. Daniels says, “I don’t know. They look like hollow tree trunks, but they sure as hell don’t feel like it. This is just weird.”

The team is so focused on the tubes and the jungle behind them that they don’t notice that the tops of the two enormous trees in front of them have silently bent down towards them. These are not trees; they are giant snakes.

With lightning speed, the creatures swoop down and grab Mr. Hernandez and Ms. Vasquez by the midsection with their mouths. Both ex-Marines scream out in pain and fear as they are jerked from the ground and lifted high into the air. Before anyone can do anything, the creatures bite down hard, their twelve inch fangs easily piercing through their victims’ bodies. Momentary screams taper off into gurgling noises, their bodies spasm, and blood pours from their wounds, dribbling down, pooling on the ground. In just a few seconds, the two ex-Marines go limp as the life leaves their bodies.

Standing there motionless, mouths open, eyes wide, watching in shock and disbelief, Mr. Daniels and Ms. Huxley finally snap out of it, carefully back away from the creatures, and raise their assault rifles, pointing them up at the snakes’ heads.

Ms. Huxley yells, “AHHHHHHHH FUCKING SNAKES! LET’S KILL THESE FUCKING THINGS!” then pulls the trigger on her assault rifle.

Mr. Daniels follows suit, sending dozens of bright red laser blasts up towards the snakes’ heads.
