The City Of The Dead
Chapter 8 Crawler, The Unknown Type A
A new day welcomes back to a world that has lost its life. The atmosphere of the city died on a bright morning with bright sunlight looks very comfortable to live in, but full of darkness in it.
Teo and his three friends soon wake up and prepare a few things before they embark on a journey to hunt for the entire material used to make the Arc Quantum Reactor.
Teo carried a backpack with weapons on his back. He slipped his katana between his back and the backpack as the main weapon. Both of his hands were wearing synthetic leather gloves to hold the weapon so that it was not slippery.
"That katana, where did you get it?" Ask Clara.
"I brought it from our world." Teo turned to look at the woman.
"Oh, I deserve it. I thought you were robbing in an abandoned shop," thought Clara, smiling at Teo.
On both waist mounted two cruising knives used specifically for hunters, the size of the knife there are medium and large.
Then, on both ankles tucked two small folding knives just in case. And an additional two small-sized cruising knives on both arms.
Clara who appeared in a female-style hunting outfit in the forest also brought a backpack with 10 grenades and some additional weapons in her backpack.
"You're like a deadly explorer in Jumanji: welcome to the jungle" said Teo, smiling at Clara's visualisation.
"It's 2100, are you still watching old school movies in 2017?" Syndical Clara.
"I like to watch some comedy-themed masterpiece movies" Teo said.
On both sides of his waist was a flare gun with 10 bullets of his own and one gun of Jeremiah's remaining five bullets only. Behind his waist was tucked one large hunting cruising knife to compensate for the two firearms.
And his main weapon was a long double-edged spear made by Agasa. The length of the spear was about 150 centimeters.
"Professor, next time I'd prefer an android robot or Terminator as my main weapon." Clara mellowed.
"Why don't you tame some zombies to be bodyguards?" Smiling at Clara's chatter.
Elsewhere, Alwi is tasked with carrying a backpack containing a supply of canned and drinking materials equipped with a bow and arrow as the main weapon. There were about 25 arrows with iron base material that Agasa made handmade for him.
"Wow, this is really cool! The bow and arrow look very strong" said Alwi. He admired the work of the old man.
"of course! I almost stayed up late to make it!" He pointed towards the boy.
He slipped a quiver's arrow between his back and the backpack he was carrying. Alwi is also equipped with two large cruising knives on both waist, and two folding knives placed in his jacket pockets.
The last one is Professor Agasa. He brought a backpack containing supporting equipment such as a mini portable stove. Then some mini portable gas canisters for fuel stoves.
Some lighters, glasses, cutlery such as pans and plates and spoons and materials to make two tents the size of two people.
"I'm like a mountaineer carrying a lot of equipment to survive" Agasa thought.
"Good, right? This will be the most stressful trip ever" Teo replies.
Not to forget he also brought a map of the world and of course the blueprints of the Quantum Reactor Arc he made.
"What do you think?" Ask Agasa.
"A good weapon. It turns out you're skilled at making things like that, too" said Teo, who saw Agasa's main weapon.
Agasa also carries an automatic Crossbow as the main weapon with a spring that can fire approximately twenty bullets continuously without pause. He is also equipped with a hunting-style cruising knife on both sides of his waist.
"Is everything ready?" Ask Teo.
"of course! Today we are ready to hunt!" Sahut Clara's.
"Ready!" Shouted Alwi with passion.
"We'd better hurry up" Agasa thought.
"certain. Let's hunt!" Teo said softly while smiling happily.
Teo guided the three of them down to the ground floor. They began their journey by walking down the main road in front of the shopping center towards the south.
Along the way, the zombies have not been seen. They walked so slowly so as not to make a sound. They did not want to awaken the curiosity of the surrounding zombies.
"The Unknown doesn't seem to be hungry, they all disappear somewhere" Clara thought.
He glanced between the sidelines of the building looking for zombies.
"Hope they sleep, even if I don't think they can do it" Agasa said.
"Sister, how long will we walk and how far?" Ask Alwi.
He held his bow in his left hand.
"About one to two kilometers. If we keep doing it, we can get there during the day." Teo glanced right and left with an alert mode.
Along the way, many cars and several abandoned buildings and eating places were filled with vines and dust that had covered the floor.
"When do you think this apocalypse on earth happened?" Ask Agasa curiously.
"Right, we should also be looking for information on that, too" Clara thought.
"Alwi was curious, how were the zombies created? And what kind of apocalypse hits this earth?" Ask Alwi.
"It's very difficult to find information about the beginning of the apocalypse" Teo thought.
SREK'S! SREK'S!
"Stop!" Teo's orders.
The tares swayed as if there was something alive hiding there. Alwi immediately took the horses to shoot his arrows.
Clara and Agasa prepared with the Crossbow and the spear. Meanwhile, Teo pulled out a cruising knife on his right waist and unsheathed it with his left hand.
Teo approached the weed with slow steps.
SREK'S! SREK'S!
It stopped. Something came out from behind the weeds. Teo immediately bowed slightly to prepare to jump and stab whatever came out of the reeds.
"Wait!" Shouted Alwi.
Professor Agasa and Clara looked directly at Alwi. There's something coming out from behind the thick weeds.
"Meow…."
A Persian cat came out with a full face and sparkling eyes. Teo stopped his attacking position. He immediately took the cat and brought it before the three of them.
"Ouh, funny." Clara was so upset with the cat.
"Hello, what's your name?" Tanya Alwi stroked the cat's head which was shaped like a fur ball.
"It's creepy when he says his name," thought Agasa, who stroked his fine fur.
"Can we take him, brother?" Ask Alwi.
"Alright, but keep prioritizing our safety first" said Teo.
"I'm holding it, here." Clara took the cat out of Teo's hand. He dropped his spear into Teo.
Finally, they continued their journey.
"Whose name, dad?" Think Clara.
"Garfield!" Shouted Alwi so excitedly.
"yes too! It's orange and pretty chubby, we call him Garfield" Clara smiled as she continued to stroke Garfield.
It did not feel like they were putting the cat into the family members of the four of them. Teo looks happy to see Alwi and Clara smiling.
"Is it okay to keep a cat now?" whisper Agasa to Teo.
"Garfield is just an animal, there's no need to worry about anything that doesn't" Teo said.
AGRR!!!
Meow! Meow! Meow!
Garfield continued to make a sound while revealing an angry grimacing face. Clara and Alwi are very confused by Garfield's behavior. Teo and Agasa, who heard Garfield's voice, approached him.
"What's the matter, baby?" Clara asked, looking at Garfield.
"Look!" Alwi.
He immediately drew his bow and pointed it in the direction between the two abandoned buses in front of the five of them.
Teo and the others turned their heads towards the arrow bow that was directed by Alwi.
"O-M-J! What's that!" Shouted Agasa.
He felt disbelief. Agasa immediately prepared to shoot with his Crossbow.
"Teo!" Shouted Clara who retreated backwards.
It is guarded by Alwi and Agasa. While Teo was seen directly advancing in front of Clara with a lance unsheathed.
"Waw, we've just met a new species of zombies" Teo thought.
"But why did he crawl like Smeagol in The Lord of the Ring?" Ask Alwi.
"I didn't want to ask her about how she became like that, but I'm really curious now. Right Alwi, why is he crawling like that?!" Think Agasa.
"Shut up and stay in standby position! Back to five steps! Hurry along!" Teo's orders.
"You want to fight it alone?" Shouting Clara.
He tried to calm Garfield who continued to look riled up by the existence of the creature.
Teo held his spear with both hands. He tightened his grip. The creature begins to approach Teo and prepares to attack.
"I'll name him Crawler, The Unknown type–," Clara said confusedly.
"Crawlers? Is it because he likes to crawl, so you call him that?" Ask Agasa.
"Yes, but I'm confused. Is he in The Unknown type A or S?" Clara was confused.
"Seriously!? You two have a problem with the classification?" Sahut Teo is upset.
"Focus it to shoot!" Shouted Teo.
"OK! Crawler, The Unknown Type A!" Shouting Clara.
