The Nyarla Day Of Vengeance

Chapter 07: The Adjustment

hendri walked while groping his body,

on his face was a skin that had the shape of a kind of flat mask that covered his entire face, then on both of his shoulders was a hard short twig that seemed to serve as a detection device around, I don't know...

his palms and feet were still human-shaped, but the fingertips of his hands and feet were extremely sharp like pegs, while his own body was formed by the roots of the tree.

hendri then felt his flat lower body, while thinking about exciting things hendri hoped something came out but nothing happened.

he again felt sad, even though he had no plans to get married, but what is the meaning of a man without gender.

hendri continued walking, without realizing he had hit a tree.

"uhh..what is this?"

"there are more corpse trees it turns out, naturally this is still around the headquarters.ehh.." immediately hendri realized something, hendri realized something,

"why are there so many human skeletons in the bunker, I'm not surprised if there are many bodies but these skeletons.it feels like just yesterday I woke up from a coma, actually how long did I sleep?"

on the neck of the human skeleton was seen a dog tag that was still intact, hendri also tried to lower the embedded skeleton.

hendri easily broke the dry trunk of the tree with both hands and carefully lowered the corpse and examined the necklace, hendri could see the name engraved there, the man named ache louis.

hendri remembered this ache louis, he was one of the army generals of a higher rank than his father. he also visited Hendri several times to talk about business or just chat with his father.

"general louis has fallen, then what about my lower rank father." worry again enveloped him.

hendri paid homage to the general ache, then he took some wood from the hanging general ache tree and hoarded the corpse of the general ache with it. After burying the corpse of the general ache hendri continued his journey.

in the middle of the journey hendri tried to measure the ability of his new body, hendri tried to run, his running speed is not much different than when he was still a human, the difference between the stamina hendri today more, more, after running for a few minutes his stamina did not feel reduced, so he decided to keep running.

while running hendri concluded the advantages and disadvantages of his body at this time.in short, his hearing is very sharp, his body can send a detection signal to the trees that are 3 meters away and can be reflected to other trees, and can be reflected, unable to feel pain from external wounds, his stamina was numerous, and this new body did not interfere with his memory and sanity except perhaps when hungry like just now.

while lacking it, all the senses except the sense of hearing are dysfunctional, it is difficult to digest food, and he cannot speak.

after running for almost an hour, he began to feel exhausted and slowed down his pace.

not even the day before night.

hendri continued walking until he could finally see something.

"trees.this is not a forest.if not the wrong distance between the suburbs to the forest periphery about 1 kilometer."

"shit, I'm off quite a distance from the destination, but maybe I can find a wild animal to eat."

entering the forest, hendri again could see clearly.

with a tree vision that makes him able to see third person hendri can walk through the forest without worrying about being attacked arrived by wild creatures, but there is nothing there other than trees and insects.

not long afterward the sound of heavy footsteps heading towards hendri, apparently it was a sonarlapostle, hendri frightened and reflex climbing a tree beside him, he climbed high enough to avoid the sonarlapostle.

amid the fear of hunger again felt, the roots of the tree in the bunker clearly did not make full, especially along the forest through which there was nothing, so hendri forced to dare to hunt the naryla below him.

"nyarlapostle is dangerous but I've also become a monster, I should be able to defeat him."

hendri jumped down, pounding his hard legs attracting the attention of sonarlapostle.

hendri now felt confident with his new body, he casually approached the sonarlapostle.

nyarlapostle responded, he walked up to hendri until the two faced each other. The smell of hendri made sonarlapostle confused because it smelled like a mixture between a man and a tree.

because he felt that something in front of him was not the food that was loudlapostle turned away.

as soon as sonarlapostle turned his body hendri directly hit the body sonillapostle with the trunk of the tree as hard as he could.

nyarlapostle also became angry, he showed his teeth and immediately lunged at the enemy in front of him.

"grraaaarrrr...!!!"

hendri fell in the face of the larklapostle, he tried to fight nyarlapostle while nyarlapostle continued to claw his face.

by utilizing the gap, hendri managed to kick the stomach sonarlapostle with both feet until bounced and hit the tree.

hendri quickly got up and tried to thrust the trunk of the tree he held into the chest of the sonarlapostle, but his efforts failed, the skin and flesh of the sonarlapostle too hard, too hard, nyarlapostle also retaliated by clawing hendri's right hand but the claw instead stuck and difficult to be removed.

seeing the opportunity hendri immediately gripped the left hand from nyarlapostle and held his right hand with his foot, then mercilessly hendri beat the head sonarlapostle with his left hand.

Braakk...

braakk...

"Ggrraaa...!"

Bucc...

braaks...

brack...

nyarlapostle continued to try to survive the hendri punch, he managed to release his left hand and began to claw hendri, while hendri began to feel his efforts in vain, hendri, even his left hand started to break due to hitting the skull hard sonillapostle.

hendri found another way, he stabbed both eyes sonillapostle with his finger to make nyarlapostle groan in pain.

"grraaahhh...! aaaarrrghhh...!?"

hendri could not hold it anymore he was pushed to the ground and sonarlapostle fled.

but hendri quickly got up and chased after him, it did not take long, hendri managed to grip the right shoulder sonillapostle with his sharp finger.

the sonnylapostle continued to rebel, the grip of Hendri's sharp fingers began to tear his skin and flesh.

as his right hand gripped tightly, his left hand continued to pierce his head sonillapostle trying to pierce through his skull.

while the sonarlapostle who is in pain does not give a fight anymore.

until finally hendri managed to penetrate the skull hard sonillapostle and with one last attack.

zraaat...

hendri's hand destroys the brain of the sonarlapostle to make his brain fluid out through the ear. hendri also release his grip and nyarlapostle collapsed.

fearing that the sonarlapostle would wake up again, Henry took a stone and smashed the head of nyarlapostle.

he felt proud of having killed one sonarlapostle, but he also felt fear and guilt for having killed him sadistically.

"pardon me, whoever you are, please forgive me" hendri apologized to the sonarlapostle he killed.

hendri took all the meat, except in the stomach and head, after which he was forced to squeeze the meat to make it cleaner, but hendri did not want to eat the raw meat, he transported all the meat by attaching it to a tree trunk and went to a settlement on the other side of the forest to borrow fire.

the settlement is actually a guard place for children who come scouts who want to camp, when scouts used to be hendri also never come there.

but the place was closed a few years later because it got a bad image from the community after the release of a film called the hunting man which tells the story of a group of children who were kidnapped and killed in the forest.

this is further aggravated by the case of finding an Asian child in lifeless condition.

according to police analysis the boy was killed by strangulation and soon after was found a man hanging himself in a tree, the man was none other than the father of the child.

arriving there hendri saw some people who were playing a bow.

"they're the guards of this place yeah, I have to be careful."

not far from where hendri was standing, a boy suddenly came out with an air rifle.

he went to the forest.

"does he want to hunt, I better follow him, maybe he knows where the animals are."

with his sense of detection it was easy for hendri to follow him from a distance, but this was already too far from the settlement.

"what is the boy really looking for."

after a while the boy stopped, apparently he was looking for an eagle, very carefully the child approached while aiming at his rifle.

Dorr!

the sound of gunfire echoed throughout the forest especially in hendri's ears.

it turned out to be a firearm, the child picked up his hunting and when he turned around the child was surprised to see a tree trunk that was suddenly behind him.

he also reflexively fired a rifle and hit the left abdomen hendri.

hendri also felt a little pain but he held it, the child then tried to shoot again but hendri first grasped the child's gun and then threw it.

the now unarmed boy was terrified, he had only seen a tree creature like this once, and it was Assault sonorla.

hendri continued to hold the boy's hands, and signaled silence.

the boy complied even though he was almost crying.

hendri carved inscriptions on trees near them.

"i'm human."

"i don't want to hurt you."

"but you have to help me?"

hendri explained that suddenly someone's voice sounded from a distance.

"dylan...! dylaan...!!"

"that is my brother, don't hurt him. "hendri nodded, he quickly left.

dylan, who was alone, was approached by his brother.

"i told you not to go into the woods by yourself, but you didn't obey."

"want how else, you're coming home late, while Helen's already hungry."

"i know, and I'm sorry, I had an extra assignment. Let's go back, let's go,"

"wait a minute, I managed to shoot a bird, where did the bird go?"

"maybe bad it's still alive and flying back, let's go home helen is burning corn." heard the grilled corn dylan rushing home with his brother.

hendri, who was hiding, was holding dylan's eagle.

Even the night came.

dylan was burning corn with his two brothers albert and helen, while hendri who was impatient to eat grilled meat sneaked into the house of dylan located on the edge of the settlement.

hendri throws a stone at Dylan to signal his arrival.

dylan waved his hand, Albert and Helen were curious as to who dylan was waving to.

"what are you doing?" helen asked dylan's sister.

"actually in the woods I met someone unique, he has a rare skin disease." dylan lied to his two brothers.

"what a disease it can be is contagious." asked albert fretfully.

"it doesn't seem, you see for yourself, he's right behind you."

hendri was ready, he covered himself with a blanket that he borrowed from the laundry of the citizens, he approached dylan and his two brothers who were burning corn.

"let's introduce, brother, this is the brother who helped me shoot birds in the woods earlier."

albert and Helen were surprised to see Hendri, due to his unusual stature.

dylan then let him sit down, Albert was not comfortable with Hendri's presence, while helen felt like vomiting, helen went into the house to vomit.

hendri gave the eagle that had been shot by dylan, dylan also showed off his hunting results to his brother Albert.

"look, I killed this eagle, I only needed one shot to bring it down" said Dylan arrogantly

albert replied to dylan.

"that's great, but don't be proud to have killed a living thing."

"what's wrong, we kill to eat, after all we don't always hunt animals either." dylan replied to albert's advice.

"yeah, we're lucky that black leaves allow us to grow vegetables and fruit."

hearing the unfamiliar name black leaves hendri raised his head.

"what are black leaves?"
