I Reincarnated As a Tree

Low 21: Take a Break

““Oh yeaaah, Baby!””

“What is it!.” Lieutenant General Budiman who still survives in the evacuation was surprised to see the body of someone who fell from the mountain while shouting for joy.

“Did his brain go crazy because of stress to choose to commit suicide?.” thought Pak Budi saw someone fall from the top of the mountain with a big face.

A bundle of grass that was used as a crown on the young man's head strengthened the opinion of Mr. Budi.

“Rawrrrr”

“Sial.” panic.

One zombie almost bit Budi sir, but swiftly the soldier uses a rifle that already has no ammunition to survive. The situation became so precarious when several other zombies ran towards Mr. Budi.

“Holding one zombie alone is already a hassle, what else are three. Looks like this is my death.” Mr. Budi was already intending to give up when the other two zombies came closer. But the help that came forced the man to last longer.

“Areeeyaah!.” From the left side a short-haired girl pointed her dagger towards the neck of a zombie, “Gueeckk...”, A powerful stab cut the neck of a killing zombie in one strike.

“Ball fire!. ”

Bwoooss! Turn A man in black with a round hat throws a fireball at another zombie. The man did something that could be called impossible, ‘What is magic?.’ Thought father Budi. The zombie was burned by a fireball and killed him.

Then it was the last zombie turn he was currently facing. “Get aside!.” a young man ran from another direction carrying a shielded car door.

Braaak! The young man crashed into a zombie held by Mr. Budi, making him thrown several meters away. Zombies are still alive but the young man immediately hit the zombie head using the British key several times until the Zombies no longer move.

“Te... thanks.” Mr. Budi was surprised by the ability of the three people who helped him.

Killing zombies is not an easy matter, it takes dozens of ammunition to subvert one undead, even though their heads have been destroyed to the brain splattered but still the monsters that were once the citizens of the city can still move.

“Mr general should you order your remaining troops to abandon firearms and immediately use close combat techniques.” Advice women with blood red eyes.

“Near distance!, But isn't it more risky to get hurt by zombies?.” Mr. Budi considered the suggestion from April to be a ridiculous idea.

“I only give advice, it's up to you.” April shrugged her shoulders handing over all the options to Mr. Budi. “Well soon you will also completely run out of ammunition.” continued the girl.

“Do you think the general will take the advice?.” Riki asked two of his colleagues. “Whatever he chooses in the end there is no other way to fight the zombies in close combat.” Reply Dedi Zaire the quirky shaman who is now a fire witch.

“Dedi left how many Mana points (MP) are yours?.” April asked as she licked the zombie bloodstain on her dagger, her eyes shining red as she drank the blood. The reward for killing 10 zombies makes April turn her race from human to vampire.

“That's a quarter left..”

KBOOM! The sound of explosions rang out under the hill, the three immediately saw what was happening. The mist of dust lifted upwards, After the fog gradually disappeared the sight of a human figure wearing grass on his head, he stood in the middle of the undead forest.

“Woah, he is strong.” Dedi said as he looked at the youth below. The three continued to watch the strange young man fighting alone in the midst of the sea of zombies. April was amazed by the way she fought, “His movement was so measurable, as if the young man had fought between life and death for a long time.”

The young man's fight lasted for two hours, in that short time already hundreds of zombies he had managed to defeat, mountains of corpses were under his feet.

Now it was not just the three people watching him, but most of the military soldiers who were finally able to breathe a little relieved as all the zombies directed their attention at the young man. The loosening zombie attack was used as an opportunity by the soldiers to rest.

One of those soldiers was Colonel Hesti Dwitari. He stared at the young man's fight so closely that like April and the others, they saw the youth's movements decreasing.

There was nothing strange at first, because fighting for two hours was natural the young man was exhausted so his body movements according to. But what makes everyone surprised is the condition of his body that is getting drier and drier.

“What really happened to that young man?.” Riki was so curious after seeing him that he could still fight in such terrible conditions.

“Who knows, for sure we must prepare because once the young man reaches his limit then the zombie wave will return to mari.” Reply April who does not really care about the fate of the young man. Unlike Riki who started yelling at the young man to get some rest.

“Basic idiot. The one who fought was not the young man, he was just a puppet, the person behind all of this must have used a strange plant that was in the head to control the young man.”

“Perhaps the consequence of this control is the absorption of body nutrients.” April tries to guess what happened d

To the young man.
