Survival games: Lucy

"Life is never fair, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but you will never have what you are looking for and when you do, you will see that it was never what you really wanted and then you value everything you lost to achieve it"
Lucy
Chapter 1.-The experiment

In a darkened room, a door opens, allowing to see all that is around, animal bodies, some smaller than others, but none of them would burst into adulthood, into that room, a man dressed in an anti-radiation suit, that man carried a corpse of a tiger cub, a puppy that he just threw down like a garbage bag and then simply closed the door to the room and left; After leaving the room and going through the process of detoxification of the room, the man took off his suit showing his appearance, thin complexion, White skin and chestnut hair; The man went to his office, sat at his desk, took a pencil a sheet and began to write.

"Experiment log: Source of youth.

Today the test subject 324-A also known as rayitas, has died, the causes of his death have been the same as in the other 323 subjects, we have to reduce even more the level of radiation used, the animals can not support it, and I am sure that if we do not do something with that and with the corpses of the morgue, we will all die from the radiation; Tomorrow we will try with the subject 325-A or as I call it: Lucy. If things go well, we will continue with the protocol and maybe at last we will have found immortality, this is a great advance, we have the formula, but for that to work requires electromagnetic impulses and a very precise exposure to radiation; Tomorrow we will see if the reduction to radiation works, I hope if, if we reduce too much, the formula will not work, and if we increase it a lot, the subject's body would not resist; We will see the results tomorrow.

Director of Scientific Operations of the Red Hawk: Kimball Leith”

After finishing writing in his diary, Professor Kimball left his office and left for the main exit. The next day, a couple of men dressed in a radiation suit entered a lab room carrying a small white-tailed deer, whose body was large, but the characteristic white patches of the young were still visible; Both men tied the deer to a metal bed, were given an injection with a green substance and then both men left the room; Just after the men left, the little deer tried to break free of the bonds, then a light went on and she could see that behind glass, in a room other than where she was, Dr. Kimball was in that room. “Mr. Kimball, what is this? You said you would let me go” the deer asked, trying to break free. "My little Lucy, everything I told you is true, I'll let you go, but only if you survive this." Two rays fell on Lucy making her feel unbearable, Lucy screamed in pain as she tried to break free, while in the other room, Dr. Kimball monitored the progress without expression.

It had been a while since the beginning of the experiment, Lucy could do nothing more than suffer in silence, because every attempt to escape was useless and she was too tired to continue fighting, with a single sigh, Lucy surrendered and fell On the metal bed. After seeing Lucy fainting, Dr. Kimball began to worry and shout at the attendants “what happened? How is she?” he shouted a little nervous, one of his assistants checked the monitors and tried to reassure the doctor “it's okay, Their signs of life remain stable, it seems the experiment has worked.” Dr. Kimball could not believe it, so many years of work had finally borne fruit “this was not over,” he shouted. "We must move on to phase two, prepare the induced coma.” All the investigators continued with the protocol, a couple of men in suits of radiation entered the room and took Lucy out of the place; After taking out Lucy, both men took her to another room where they placed her in a conservation capsule, which was closed once Lucy was inside and began to dismiss a colorless gas; Kimball approached the capsule and briefly glanced at Lucy. "Goodbye little Lucy, thanks to you we've made a breakthrough, but this is not over yet, I'll see you in a couple of years." Dr. Kimball stepped away from the capsule and left the room, turning out lights and making everything dark.

Things were still dark for Lucy, who had regained consciousness and tried to get up; When at last she managed to open her eyes Lucy saw a wooded landscape, at last she was free, or at least she thought until she heard a voice very hated by her, when she turned her head, she saw that from where she had awakened , There was the one who made her suffer so much, Professor Kimball was in front of her, looking at her with malice; Lucy, enraged, attempted to assault the professor, but instead he walked through it as if it were nothing more than air, confused, trying to rejoin, Professor Kimball still there, laughing, "hi Lucy, how long; Before you do any other nonsense, I want you to know that even if you see me, I'm not here, it's just an image of me or what we call it human, I'm a hologram, human technology is fabulous, do not you think?”
"What do you want now? You said you'd let me go," she cried, enraged and with tears in her eyes.
"Of course I'll let you go, but we have not finished yet, just pay attention, it's been five years since you were tied to that stretcher, and something changed?, nothing, you still have the same appearance, but inside you are totally different; The vaccine that we injected allowed your internal organs to grow into adulthood, but once that age, which you reached two years ago, your body would not grow old, that's why you have the size and strength of a deer Adult, but you still have those spots on the back that have all the pups.
"And how do you know that your vaccine worked? How do you know he did all that instead of just keeping the spots on my back?"
"Lucy, Lucy, Lucy," he said with some irony, "you were the first to survive the first phase of the test, but not the only one, after you, we continued experimenting with other animals, we finally realized that the effects Secondary to the vaccine varied, regardless of who we used it, being honest, pigmentation of the coat was almost always the most affected but there were also other minor effects.
"Okay, you got what you want, now let me go."
“As much as I would like to do it, we have not yet finished, I will make it simple, the last stage of the test is survival in the natural environment, facing hunger, wounds and diseases is part of the test, You are in a survival contest transmitted worldwide and the contestants look for your head and the rest to win, something like the games of hunger, but even more deadly and there are only two ways out of here, you win the contest and you Let's free, or the other is to die painfully, you decide.” When he finished talking the hologram was turned off.

Now Lucy had more problems than before, she had to find a way to get out of this macabre game alive and the teacher's tone did not help much, when she wanted to start walking, she heard something from the bushes, then heard the teacher's voice One more time. "While we were chatting the radar detected a pack of hungry wolves, I warn you because I do not want you to die yet, so I'd recommend running." Lucy had heard the wolves surrounding her, yet she also managed to detect a small space by which she could escape, there should be no room for error, and a misstep would mean death; Lucy waited for the right moment, and when two wolves jumped on her, she dodged them cunningly and began to run. After dodging the wolves, Lucy ran through the forest looking for a way to lose them and escape, however, Lucy stopped right in front of a ravine and looking down saw a small river, she tried to find another way, however, The only way there was to run on the banks of the ravine.

The odds of dying are high, two options, only one is correct:

A) Leap of faith.

B) Run on the bank of the ravine.
