42 New Island (1/2)

Standing on the sand felt different to Lachlan, he felt slightly heavier. Fortunately, he had an insane amount of strength, so it didn't affect him as much.

However, the same couldn't be said about the others, mainly Zoe who had the lowest strength stat.

”Whoa, it feels as if I was normal again,” Zoe said.

Lachlan thought about it, he tried using his strength and quickly realised he was being restricted. He determined that required strength to normally walk on this shore was about 100, that was well over what any regular soldier had but something they did.

Lachlan continued to walk towards the beach, the rest following along.

Looking back he noticed Zoe was beginning to slow down.

”What's wrong?” Lachlan asked.

”It feels as though the gravity increases the closer we are to the island,” Zoe explained.

Lachlan thought about and realised what she was saying is true. Although the difference isn't noticeable to him, to the people with lower stats it made a big difference.

Once they finally reached the shore Zoe was panting, some of the others showed visible signs of fatigue.

Lachlan tested his strength and quickly noticed that walking where they were needed at least 200 stats in strength.

”Zoe, if you find it too much you should head back into the water, the gravity is less there,” Lachlan said.

”I'm alright, I came here to train, after all, if I couldn't handle this much then I certainly won't be any use to the team,” Zoe said.

”Then at least stay here and try to get used to the current gravity, it should be safe here,” Lachlan said.

Zoe nodded and sat down, she began doing some basic ab exercises. Chloe joined her, the current gravity was still slightly too much for her. The rest of the group headed to the forest to explore.

They only walked another 15 metres, but the gravity increased again, and it became too much for Joe to handle, and just like Zoe and Chloe he stopped and done some exercise.

Walking another 7 metres and Phoebe dropped off, then after another 40 metres Simon and Georgia dropped off. Simon was furious he wasn't able to continue and quickly got into exercising, running around.

Lachlan kept walking. Everyone that could see him was slightly frustrated, as it meant the young boy was much stronger than them. Again Simon got more annoyed, Georgia was already exhausted, but Simon pushed himself.

Lachlan continued to make his way through the forest, he saw many different plants, fruits and what looks to be vegetables. He also continued to make an observation of the gravity, as from the beach to where he was it increased by 2 every metre.

He perked his head up, he heard something, something essential for a human's very survival.
