A white-clothed woman jumped on top of the walls of Atlantis. His red hair was fluttering in the wind. Highlight his eyes empty, but fixedly staring straight ahead, to a place far away there, not wanting to turn. He was not even interested in seeing the writhing of Lazar City from where it stood.
"He will save you" he said to the wind, as if the wind would speak his words to anyone there.
"Jilly, what are you doing up there?!"
Jilly turned to the woman who mentioned his name. With pale green eyes, Jilly saw Leony was scrapping the chair. The young scientist climbed on top of it and climbed up the balcony to their side. A strong wind blew and almost made Leony's body drift backwards.
"Why are you here? Quickly get down and go back to your room." Leony raised his hand to pull Jilly's sleeve. However, not yet the white cloth was touched, Jilly's sword was drawn first.
"Retreat."
"A ...." Leony hunchback. Although the sword is still wrapped in its sheath, but for humans like Leony the sword is still a sword.
Ever since Jilly came and his sword was found, he never once separated from his samurai. Jilly and the samurai are like one whole entity. If they were separated, then Jilly would go berserk. Leony was also a little cautious.
"What do you see? Is the view from here good?" leony asked trying to melt the atmosphere.
"Kauharus ... accept .. our friend!"
"What?"
"Kauharus ... accept .. our friend!"
Leony did not understand Jilly's words. He only feels happy because Jilly can start thinking for herself like a human mindset. That means there's been progress in STERIL treatment going on in zombie bodies. As a scientist, even the slightest development means a lot.
Leony finally smiled, "yes. Of course."

When a message in his mind was received, the Throne was in rescue among the undead blazing with fire. Turtle cries mixed with anger into an accompanying melody, with the addition of the unpleasant smell of charred meat smelled. Senseless beings like not giving up. Although the body has turned as black as charcoal, but the muscle movement is still forcing to demand a response.
CRATES
Suddenly the zombies fell down like a cut down tree. Not because of the explosions from the everclear, but they were smashed apart by something thin and transparent. It functions like a knife, even more terrifying than a sword or a dagger. His movements could not be read by the eyes, therefore everyone was astonished.
Hideo and his men did not dare to move further. From the reflection of sunlight, only a little visible sparkle of the threads seemed to be intertwined in front of them.
"This is ...."
"Thread is glazed," said Hideo, continuing the words of his men.
"Gum."
Hideo turned to the origin of the voice. A growl just now came from a zombie. The zombie looked young, probably the same age as the Throne. Her hair is a bit dusty. The side of his cheek was blackened by a severe bruise. One of his legs wears a brace from iron to the knee, while the other leg is normal. But this is not the only problem. The zombie finger was wearing iron gloves. From his fingers came transparent threads. That thread is the culprit for the mass extermination of the living corpses just now.
Sretti.
He pulled back the threads. The symbol of the scorpion is more clearly visible when he clenches his hand.
"Zacky," muttered the Throne attracting Hideo's attention.
"Zacky? You know him?" ask Hideo.
The throne shook and then nodded.
"Honey, if shaking means no, nodding means yes."
"Um .. yes. Yep. Yeah." yeah." Throne nodded. "Come ... bring ... Zacky."
"He was infected quite badly. I'm not sure Atlantis will accept it. Even if it did, it would definitely take quite a long time to make him recover." Hideo sees Zacky's zombie leg and hand hurt and his bones almost come out. Maybe when he was attacked he didn't escape. If you think it is natural. With a disability, his legs are not fast enough to run.
"Zacky. Zacky. Zacky." Throne tugging uniform Hideo. He keeps raving and insists that Hideo take Zacky.
"alright. We'll take him. Ferdinan, get that zombie in the car" Hideo told one of his men.
Ferdinan came to report after checking the state of their two vans. His expression looked regretful. "Report, Commander! 2nd car tires that specifically transport zombies deflated. The zombies were meant to keep us from leaving by damaging the vehicles."
"What?! How do we get him?" Hideo glanced at Zacky. The zombie was watching the Throne in silence.
Help came in time. Two other vans came to the location. Commander Shin got out of the car with a rifle in hand.
"Commander Hideo, we came to help. How's situation?"
"Thank you, Commander Shin. The situation is safely under control because we have got help here. The problem is our car is damaged, while we have to bring the zombies to Atlantis."
Shin Liam looked towards Hideo's gaze. In the corner there looks like the Throne is standing facing each other with ugly creatures. The wounds on his body were almost 70%. Such a zombie was supposed to be exterminated, but why would Hideo want to take it to the rehabilitation building?
"You sure you want to take him?" ask Commander Shin in doubt.
"Yes. Believe it or not - that zombie has helped us. The Throne is pleased with him anyway. I don't know why either."
"Okay, then. Leave it to me."
Shin took Zacky into his car. He was astonished that not having to bother to pull out the chain, Zacky could walk on his own willingly.
The throne looks very happy. He walked beside Hideo while jumping around in excitement.
"Friends ... new. Friend ... new. Zacky friends Tha~"
"Ows. Let's celebrate your first R, baby."
Two, half zombies were playing around in the hall. In the middle of the hall it was made like a kindergarten. The throne sits between piles of toys. His hands nimbly arranged one by one the blocks until they became a shape.
"Tahta ... great ... can bring him ... here," commented Jilly who was twirling the cubic. The color is random and in just a few rounds, the cubic has been neatly arranged according to its color.
"certain. Tha .. is great. Tha likes friends .. new." The throne turned to robot-robot toy. "Is it still ... Is there anything else, Jilly?"
"Hm? There are. But ... they .. seraaaam. Later the Throne .. takuuut," said Jilly in a scaring tone.
"Later .. they appear. Bad people ... must be .. careful."
"Who ... is evil, Jilly?"
"Seek out. The man ... is very evil."
Jilly saw Leony coming. The woman dressed as a scientist sat down with them. Jilly did not react to anything other than returning Leony's smile with a flat face. He was busy looking at Leony's empty hand.
"Where ... is my toy?" ask Jilly to collect.
Leony raised his eyebrows. Yesterday Jilly asked to buy a toy gun and swords. There's actually a nurse in charge of buying things, but it looks like that person also got another assignment from Professor Hartman so long ago came. Jilly seems impatient.
"Can you wait for your toys in a while? The professor needs help. The nurse will take him later."
Jilly's not happy, "old. I ... want to play .. with the Throne. I-ka-rang."
Leony scratched his eyebrows, but it didn't itch at all. He was actually thinking while occasionally glancing at Jilly. The red-haired zombie's eyelids did not even blink looking at him. "Attent. I'll call Mark first." Leony took his phone and pressed a few numbers. "Callo, Mark? Buy a pistol-pistolan toy and a sword for Jilly ...." Leony's chat was cut off because his gawai was taken.
"Quick ... buy! No. .. use ... long ago," then Jilly returned the device to the dumbfounded Leony.
A few minutes passed, Hideo came with Mark. Their hands were each busy carrying luggage, all orders from their beloved. Hideo's face looked happy, inversely proportional to Mark. The young man was upset that his time was wasted just to go to the toy store and buy some for Jilly. All purchases are made using their money. Note it!
HIS MONEY.
"Nih, toys. Next time ask the nurse to buy. Not me," Mark protested as he handed over the bag containing all of Jilly's orders. Mark had an unpleasant reaction. The red-haired zombie picked up his toy while throwing its face away.
"You should have said thank you to me, boy." Mark patted Jilly's head with the caterpillar doll. "Where did this ugly doll come from?" Mark watched the caterpillar doll in his hand. Seriously, isn't there a little nicer doll?
Leony rolled his eyeballs, "Jilly likes the doll and the duck doll."
"You're so ugly. Look her! He just likes teddy bears and cats." Mark pointed to the Throne hugging his stuffed cat.
"Now, got, Tha. Naughty!" The throne hugged his puppet tighter and tighter.
Jilly looked at Mark sharply in return.
Let us leave the hostility between them and turn to the Throne and Hideo.
The nose of the Throne smelled a familiar smell. He stood up and approached Hideo. His index finger was on his lips while his eyes continued to stare at Hideo's luggage. He looked at Hideo and then into the bag. Staring at Hideo again then into the bag again.
"Hi, honey. Do you miss me?" Hideo's lips are powerless to smile. Seeing her lover welcome her arrival was the most pleasant thing.
The throne shook its head, then pointed at the parcel in Hideo's hand. "What, tuh?"
Although Hideo was disappointed that the Throne did not miss him, he had to be patient. "This is a gift for you. I brought some extra jumbo raw venison and it's still fresh. The throne?"
"Now. Let's eat ... eat."
"Leo, share the meat with Jilly. Mark bought her a special one too." Hideo handed the package to his best friend, Leony The smile of victory did not escape from Hideo's thick lips because it was nice to see Mark's reaction.
"Don't say it, stupid! What is special?!" Mark hit Hideo's arm until the sound of 'PLAK' sounded tight.
"I'm just being honest, damn it!"
PLAQUES
The sound was heard again in return.
Rather than dizzy to see his two best friends fighting like a child, Leony prefers to take care of the two sweet zombies in front of him.
****
Hideo and Mark were on the balcony, they were sitting face to face. From his place, they could still see the Throne and Jilly was eating accompanied by Leony. Mark started the conversation first, because there was something that he wanted to ask.
"Hideo, I heard you brought home a zombie that had a black scorpion emblem."
Mark's been hearing about the organization with the venomous animal emblem since Jilly was discovered. And he's interested to know more, because the zombie Hideo brought last time also has a scorpion symbol. Mark was just curious, for some reason.
Hideo was silent for a moment to connect Mark's words with past events. "Yes. I saw a black scorpion on the weapon that the zombie was wearing. He also helped us escape the onslaught of the undead. Why the hell?"
"Jilly also has the emblem. You must know about this dark organization, right? Their movements were very neat, almost untouchable. Not to mention they were always behind the rich. Nor does anyone know. But ... once they become zombies they kind of surface. I feel a little strange, "Mark sipped a cup of tea at the end of the conclusion. Yeah, he does feel weird.
"You have too many thoughts. Maybe it's just your feelings" Hideo chimed in.

A man sits in a room. Both elbows are propped up on the table, and the fingers are linked to each other. The atmosphere in the room was dim. There is only light from the hologram figure that is the only light so as not to be pitch black. Samar looks serious when he listens to reports from his 3-dimensional men.
[Report, General! From the data collected, zombies still ruled in some areas. Their population has only decreased by 30%.]
"Hm? Then STERILE missions are useless. How many zombies are there in Atlantis now?"
[There were 6300 zombies on the ground floor then shrunk to 1000, and currently there are only 10 zombies that managed to escape at the approaching stage of humans.]
The man's gaze grew more and more serious "What about the Altar Master's child zombie?"
[He is at a high level. He is the closest to the human side.]
The man laughed coldly, "close to humans? Zombies are still zombies. He's just an experimental creature. What is high level? It's nonsense. Keep an eye on their progress and report to me!"
[Okay, General.]
