Mr. Zombies

Deathsters (2)

The deathster?

I repeated Jason's words in my heart. So the figure we saw earlier was the Deathster?.

"Was.... He's different from a zombie?"

Selena asked with a loud voice.

I painstakingly gulped when again the roar flashed in my ear. I rubbed my ears again. Oh gosh! What's with my ears, really?.

Jason nodded, he then crouched down and started packing his things

"Let's move first, before the deathster manages to find our trail"

Jason said before he finally shut up, hanging up his explanation.

I don't want to have to obey Jason's orders. If Jason Deathster was different, he must have been more dangerous than ordinary zombies.

Leah was seen still clenching her hands, looking dissatisfied with Jason's description hanging. But Selena and I immediately grabbed her shoulder, asking her to take a swipe so that her fists would not drift into Jason's body again.

"Come Leah. If we don't move now, we could end up in the mouth of the deathster later"

My half-joking words were only in Leah's response with a heavy sigh.

He ended up walking with us, loading bullets into his rifle.

Suddenly, Leah's hand stopped, as if remembering something, she grabbed her half-eaten food and thrust it at me.

"Make it"

He said without looking at me.

I immediately shook my head strongly, inwardly embarrassed that Leah realized that I could still eat comfortably in this condition.

"don't be shy Nels, I just heard your stomach rumbling"

"I'm sure this is the first time you've had such a big energy in your life. So you need more nutrition than I do"

this time he twisted his body, facing me. A faint smile formed at the corner of his lips, even though an angry expression still remained on his face.

Instantly my cheeks warmed up. I don't think anyone heard the sound of my little concert ringing together with Leah's fist that landed on Jason's face. You shameless belly worm.

I finally received the food Leah gave me. Eat it with a feeling of amazement and happiness. Even Leah seemed to shine in my eyes, just like an angel. Oh food, my love, come to mama.

Seeing Leah give me a portion of food, Selena also offered hers. It made me shake quickly. Selena kept forcing me to take hers. But of course I don't want to. Selena and I are not much different species when it comes to food, equally crazy.

Seeing Selena's stubbornness forced me to think hard so that I wouldn't have to take food from her. I received Selena's helping hand, a cheerful smile growing on her face. Then quickly put food into his mouth as soon as he opened his mouth to say something.

"Nels.."

His murmur was so bad once his chewing was over and he swallowed successfully.

I just grinned the horse, patting Selena's shoulder slowly over and over again.

My words that Selena responded to with a manyun's lips.

After all, Selena was my pretentious style, clearly she kept staring at her food even though she was forcefully thrusting food into my hands. Base, Selena, Selena.

We then followed Jason's steps after all the preparations were done. The faint sound of the beast became the only one that accompanied us throughout the journey. Moreover, the twilight sky began to appear making the lighting even more minimal.

A man walked slowly, approaching a location where the ground was scattered, like someone was already sitting there. His body bent down, sniffing the ground as it looked there was food scattering.

After smugly sniffing, the man stood up again, looking far ahead. Impressed indeterminate direction, but actually he had focused his point of view in one direction. Hunting down the owner of the fragrant aroma that makes him excited

When the sky was really dark, then we reached the location that according to Jason ideal, which is an open place that is not much in the growth of trees. The location where we decided to spend the night is located not far from the forest. Jason said we needed to clean up seriously, not knowing why.

Since it was evening, we decided to postpone the clean-up activity to be tomorrow morning after getting Jason's approval.

As soon as we finished arranging our sleeping positions and putting things down, we immediately surrounded Jason, pointing him to continue the interrupted story of the deathster.

As expected that he would be interrogated, Jason could only sit quietly, allowing us to get closer and start explaining.

"Deathster is very dangerous"

Jason started his incumbent.

"Deathster is an adapted zombie"

We looked at each other, not understanding what Jason was saying. Didn't Jason say the new zombies don't have complete control over their bodies even though they can still feel around?.

But why does the figure who looks at us from behind the trees look so controlling. I goosebumps remembering how he leaned against the tree with a grin as soon as he finished roaring.

"Adapted? Meanin?"

Jason folded his hands in front of his chest

"Yes, adapt. Sorry if I haven't told you about this. The reason is because this deathster is still an assumption that is being further proven by the research center. And someone should have become a deathster after a few weeks of being a zombie. Because to become a deathster usually must have high intelligence and strong endurance. I didn't think we should meet the deathster in this forest"

Jason said with a hint of annoyance in his voice. It looks like Jason is also the first time facing this deathster, so he feels frustrated and upset.

I looked at Jason with a suspicious look, remembering that he had yet to explain what he meant by adapting. Besides, there was one other thing that stuck my mind. That is about the roar that again ringed in my ears, I don't know how many times in the day.

"Please go into more detail about the adaptation, Jason"

my word is impatient.

Jason looked at me for a moment and explained. Actually, the zombies have their own level. There are transitional zombies like we saw in the tent, the whole zombies are zombies that are not injected with the antidote vaccine more than 1 week since contracting the virus. And the last and worst is the deathster, the highest type of zombie that has strength beyond reason.

One of the advantages possessed by the deathsters is their ability to control the zombies underneath. Deathsters can also increase their level of strength and thinking power by eating the brain nuclei of fellow deathsters.

The deathsters still can not control their cannibals so they still have the desire to bite, but unlike ordinary zombies.
