Infection Host

Chapter 1 Day of Destruction

...***...

On a quiet Sunday, Rael who was busy assembling a toy he bought a few days ago suddenly got a phone that made him surprised and resulted in his index finger being injured.

"What the hell is Bima, suddenly calling."

"Oh come on Rael, don't get mad, I'm calling you right now to take you to the Mall, said Aria, her father is going to Indonesia in a few days so he wants us to accompany him to buy gifts for his father."

"Well, why are you taking me, isn't that Aria's boyfriend."

"I'm taking you because I know you have no other job than assembling the toys you bought at the time, would you like to come along?"

Rael also agreed to join Bima because he himself had no other work than assembling toys.

"Yes yes, I'm coming."

"Well, I'll wait at the Mall with Aria."

"Will Rael come?" Ask Aria who just finished looking through the goods in the store.

"Yes, it might take some time before he gets here. How about we take a look at the other store before Rael comes?"

"Alright, after all, the streets have been jammed lately." replied Aria while looking at the streets that made her worried.

"What's Aria? You suddenly turned pale." Bima asked while holding her shoulder with a worried expression.

"It's okay, maybe it's just my feeling."

Bima and Aria started to go around and buy things that are at least good to be used as gifts. Life in the Mall as usual will be crowded with visitors, both young and old. The atmosphere there is so noisy and full of busyness, all natural happens because the Mall is filled with various shops.

But as soon as all that changed, suddenly there was an explosive sound coming from outside. People started running to and fro, accompanied by a clear scream. Bima who was curious began to ask the person who was running around.

"Excuse me sir, would you like to ask what's outside?"

"If you still want to live, run as far as possible!" Answer her with a frightened face.

Soon, the person Bima asked before was ambushed by a monster that made the person thrown and began to be torn apart until it was out of shape.

"Let's go Aria!" Shouted Bima while holding the hand of Aria who was surprised at what they experienced earlier.

Bima and Aria began to run out of the Mall, and for a moment outside, how surprised they saw the monsters that scattered began to chase people who were running.

"Hey!, you're a fool well, instead of running away, you close your eyes."

"Wait what you're doing!, get out of there quickly."

"Hey, don't you see that this monster is clinging to me, so you better go first and ignore me."

"I can't leave you Rael." Bima, who was panicking, started to hold Rael's hand and pulled her.

Rael, who knew she had no hope, began to shout in an annoyed tone.

"Totally bothering people, you know that I'm not going to die that easily, if you don't believe in taking this bracelet, it's a guarantee that I'm going to stay alive, so take good care of the bracelet I'll take one day."

Bima who heard Rael's words began to wrinkle her hands and eyebrows which signified strong belief.

"Alright Rael I will obey what you say, but you must keep the promise you said."

Rael who heard it immediately said goodbye in a low tone, Bima who could not help but feel her sadness began to leave Rael with tears.

Kilo-kilo meters away, Bima and Aria tried to hide into small alleys to avoid a herd of monsters that began to develop more and more. The two of them began to approach an empty shophouse and took the initiative to rest in it. Soon a voice came from inside the warehouse, and out came a tall and muscular person who was approaching Bima and Aria who were panting.

"Hey son, what's wrong with you, you're scared as if you've just seen a ghost."

"I'm sorry Uncle, it might sound silly to believe my words but out there are monsters that attack humans" said Bima panting with a face that was still shocked.

Hearing Bima's statement just now, the butcher's uncle checked the CCTV camera that led to the main road. With what he had just seen, the store owner's uncle swiftly closed the door of his shop and locked it firmly.

"Hey son, can you use a special weapon?"

"No, but Aria can use a bow because she's an archery athlete."

"Good then, your name is Aria right? you take the bow in the barn, we need to get to a safer place than here."

"Alright but we are not acquainted, my name is Bima and this is Aria, maybe you will consider us as a burden but believe me we will not trouble you."

"It's nice to meet you my name is Sudiarto, maybe this sounds bragging, because I'm an ex-soldier so you can trust me to protect you."

With supplies of perseverance and some sharp weapons, the three of them have strengthened themselves to face the great danger that will come in the future.
