"Let's continue on our way. It will surely run away when it sees us."

They began to move again, and the soldiers marveled at the streams that hovered above them like rainbows. Some were amazed by this unfamiliar phenomenon, but it was truly beautiful.

When they approached the bull and the sounds of their footsteps reached its ears, it stopped drinking and looked at them with anticipation and fear. Then it turned its back to them and ran into the forest that was located next to the plain. The soldiers heard the sounds of animals and birds inside the forest on their right and on their left. One of the soldiers asked Keno for permission to examine the animals in the forest, but he ordered them to continue on their way. The mission was the most important thing they had now, and after its completion, they would examine and study this whole place well. Besides, there was a forest on their way after the plain ended, and they might see all kinds of animals in it. The soldier fell silent and understood the situation, and they continued on their way until they had finished with the wide plain.

Keno went ahead to test the waters of the forest and asked the rest of the soldiers to wait outside until he gave them permission to enter. He told them to set up camp here for the night and complete the mission tomorrow, while he would check the forest. Yousef volunteered to join him, and Akira followed him. Keno refused, then finally agreed after much insistence, after learning that they were his companions from the death race. The three of them entered the forest and cast a wary, sidelong glance at everything around them, but the place was quiet so far. Akira looked around, examining the place, and saw some strange birds on the branches of a tree with white leaves. The birds were white, with long, black, pointed beaks like a needle's point, and they had four red eyes. Akira pointed to these strange birds, and Keno and Yousef looked at them in amazement. One of the birds flew away, completing their astonishment as they saw it had four wings.

"We've been transported to another world," Yousef said in a hopeless tone. "I'm sure of it."

Keno nodded in agreement. "I'm starting to suspect that's what really happened. But something like this is impossible. I'm leaning towards the idea that they changed the properties of the world somehow!"

"But couldn't there be a portal from another world that opened, and some unknown person or several people came through it and managed to control our robots in some way? And this passage we saw... maybe it's the entrance to this world. We're in the snake's den now, I think. Look around you, sir. This is definitely not our world. Isn't that right, Akira? You agree with me on this, don't you?"

Akira put his hand on his head in turmoil, his thoughts darkening. "Yes, I feel that your theory is convincing. I have thought about everything you said before. Maybe this is what really happened. I don't know."

Keno contemplated the forest for a few moments as he listened to their conversation, then cut off their hopes. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the passage was nothing more than a hologram. I analyzed it, and that's what gave me the courage to cross it so easily without hesitation."

"I don't think we have that feature that distinguishes you as a cyborg," Akira said sarcastically.

"Yes, this feature is only in me. you can analyze some things, but not with my ability to analyze. And of course, this is not a monopoly for me, but because I am a cyborg. Now, let's move."

They crossed the white forest in silence and slowness, contemplating the nature around them. They were surprised by what they saw as they walked. There was a creature with ten long legs, three meters tall. Its head resembled a camel's somewhat, its body was a dark blue color, and two horns came out of its head. It had four eyes and fine teeth, with which it ate from the leaves of the white trees.

And another creature that resembled a monkey, but with four arms and two long legs that seemed to be longer than its body. Its body was a dark green color, and its nose was located above its eyes. It had a long, wavy tail, with which it jumped between the branches, staring at them with fear and anticipation, then moving from one tree to another. And they saw another creature with a body the size of a horse, two horns on its head and two horns coming out of its cheeks. It had six legs and a tail that resembled a crocodile's tail, and its feet were a purple color. And so they passed by a stream of water and saw many animals drinking; of different shapes and kinds, and they did not resemble anything they had seen before.

Fortunately for them, there were no predatory animals yet in the white forest. They continued on their way, and Keno began to record everything he saw to send it to headquarters. After a long walk in the forest, they decided to stop for a little rest. Akira sat with his back against one of the white trees with a white trunk, and Yousef sat next to him, while Keno sat opposite them, leaning against another tree.

"My God, where are we?" Akira said, contemplating the strange birds. "I'm really starting to suspect that we are on another planet. And where are the robots? We've been walking for a long time and haven't seen any of them yet! Are they hiding, or what?"

Yousef mumbled as he contemplated the forest, "I don't know, and I don't want to think about their existence. I hope we finish our mission peacefully, and we'll report what we've seen to headquarters and see where this leads us!"

Everyone fell silent, and the silence and beauty of the forest enveloped them. They contemplated it for a few minutes until Keno broke the silence. "Let's move."

They all stood up and began to move again. They came out of the white forest and found themselves in another forest, but it was filled with trees of different, vibrant, and cheerful colors. They felt a mixture of the spirit of exploration, breathtaking beauty, and the fear of the unknown.

They walked a few meters, contemplating the creatures and the trees. Suddenly, a tree root shot out toward Akira's feet, grabbing him by the leg and hoisting him high into the air. He screamed for help. Keno and Yousef started firing at the tree root with focus and precision so as not to hit Akira. They managed to free his leg, and he fell to the ground, but the suit protected him. Several roots came out from all over the forest and began to chase them. They began to run deeper into the forest, firing non-stop at every root that appeared in their path. The roots continued to sprout from everywhere, surrounding them with inescapable walls, but their armor-piercing bullets opened some gaps for them to get through. They ran without stopping, jumping over the roots that were moving quickly toward them. The suit's speed and its ability to jump high were of great help to them. They ran at a tremendous speed, firing in front of them to open a path for their escape.

"Hang on!" Akira said, panting, as he saw a light at the end of the road and knew it was the end of the forest. "We're close to the exit."
