Infection Host

Chapter 9 A new hope

...***...

Some days they have passed, the barrier that always comes suddenly they can slowly go through with determination and strong persistence. Physical scars have been adorned all over the body, bruises and claw injuries they always get as if an activity they always experience every day.

Moving from the place they had to do, even though to sleep for four hours they were very grateful. In order to survive they had to go to a nearby convenience store and loot it, and sometimes when there was not enough water supply they took advantage of the rainwater and cooked it.

Because of the training given by Mr. Sudiarto, the four of them began to get used to extreme living conditions and using firearms had become one of the tools they always use as well as stationery.

Aria who incidentally is an archery athlete has been recognized by Mr. Sudiarto in using a sniper, others do not want to miss, too, Bima has learned the technique of using a spear self-taught that only relies on books, Adi and Deo have strengthened the cooperation between the two of them, even the former Sudiarto was stunned by the cohesiveness of the two and their only weakness was that they always fought in all situations.

Maybe if counted into the figures they have explored a quarter of downtown Bandung, even to a place they have not visited before has been explored in just a few days.

Although they all went to different places, the situation in each place was always the same as other places, the city died with many monsters.

Tens of monsters they had killed with great difficulty. Bima who has lost her friend trying to find Rael in every monster she kills, no matter how many monsters she has met Rael still has not met, whether it's the corpse or the monster form.

On a clear day, a rabbit was walking in the middle of a residential park. Not far from the location of the rabbit was seen someone was hiding and stalking a rabbit who was silent near the swing, heard the sound of a bowstring being pulled from behind the bushes. The man took a deep breath and released the right arrow on his head, and the dead rabbit carried it by tying it to a stick.

" It seems like lunch today is a rabbit soup." The voice of Aria who had managed to hunt a rabbit.

Some time later Aria arrived at a quiet and empty place, which made the place striking was the smoke from the bonfire soaring into the sky.

" Oh, Aria you've come back well!" Said Bima while carrying wood and twigs in his hands.

" I'm back to everything, for now this is all I can hunt." Said Aria in a low tone.

" Oh, it's okay Aria, we still have some rice stock for us to eat anyway, so don't worry about it!" Entertain Bima.

" Aria yeah, I didn't think you'd get rabbits around here." Said Mr. Sudiarto in a somewhat joking tone.

" So, it looks like this rabbit was originally someone's pet, so where will this meat be?"

" Just put it on the table by the fireplace there, Deo and Adi will take care of the roof, and tell them not to keep fighting because if you wait too long the fire will be extinguished."

After preparing to cook their lunch the five returned to their respective activities, such as washing clothes, cleaning weapons, checking food supplies and so on.

Busy with their respective duties, Mr. Sudiarto then called the others to come to his place, arguing there was something important.

" What's wrong sir?" Ask Bima in confusion.

" And what's next, you ordered us all here not just to tell you that, right?" Adi Say.

" After the signal has strengthened there is a female voice on the radio, so that you can trust my words you should listen to the recording of the voice I just picked up."

" Tests... One, two, three, well it looks like it's pretty smooth... Attention to those who... He survived and didn't know where to go... We have confirmed that the situation in the village of Ciptaharja... It is safe for you to stay here. If you are aiming to come here then look for our stopover that is near a large lake... I hope you can successfully survive until you hear what we say~." Radio broadcasts were cut off.

" Wait if Ciptaharja Village is..."

" The place where Rael's sister is." Sela Aria's.

" If this information is correct, then Rael's sister's chances of survival are very high."

" You're right, Bima, if there's an older sister, we can trust her to stay there." Aria.

" I see, so the sister of your friend is probably still there huh."

" Well, since we can't stay here, it looks like we have to go there and see for ourselves whether the information is valid or not." Said mr. Sudiarto.

" But what if the information is just a hoax, and there's also a possibility that their group is a group of bandits or something."

" You have a point, Adi, but if we stay too long in the city center, we're only narrowing our chances of survival." Said mr. Sudiarto.

Over time passed, finally the five of them agreed to go to Ciptaharja Village. Because the distance from the city center to Ciptaharja Village was quite far, the five of them agreed to leave one week later.

Because the supplies were running low and plus they wanted to get out of the city, the five of them inevitably had to find a decent meal for them to bring.

The five of them split up and went down every nearby supermarket, Bima went with Aria and Pak Sudiarto while Deo and Adi went together in the opposite direction.

Although many shops have passed, it's just a store that is safe to enter there are only a few. The food inside the store was falling, and some of it was falling apart.

Although only a little food they can take, but their determination to continue to survive never extinguished and continue to try as much as possible.

It could be that the information they get is a trap, but Bima really wants to go there. Because he could not save Rael, instead he was determined to make sure that Rael's older sister was still alive.
