Zombies

21: User Capability

The character of the three youths was still quite clear in Nanda's memories. They were all students who tended to be naive, timid and somewhat careless. Even from the small quarrel behind the sturdy steel door, Nanda desperately had to hold back the laughter as they were pushing each other.

"Bro, you first open the door, Lo who says that if a guy has to put a girl first."

"Eh? How me?"

"Have, you cowards! Let me just ah!"

"Eeehhh wait! Waitaminute! Beware oi, don't-don't scam outside!"

"Outside there are girls, not scams!"

A few seconds later, Nanda heard the sound of shoes stepping closer to the steel door. "Who's out there? Are you alone or in a group?" Genta asked-his voice was rather large. It echoed inside the building, as if it was afraid that the person outside could not hear the question.

"Group, 2 adults and five small children" Nanda answered honestly. Inside are the children of his own club. "Can you open the door? Outside there are a lot of zombies and now it is stormy. I know it's you."

Nanda's voice was quite large. She used her usual voice and this woman was confident enough for the three friends to instantly recognize her voice even though the rainstorm was a bit disturbing to hearing.

Pause for a few seconds, no one spoke for a while until finally, Nanda heard Genta's voice come back. "That's ... Brother Nanda?" guess doubtful.

Nanda pinched a smile. "Yes, it's me" he said. "Genta, open the door! You can make Brother cold outside?!"

Within seconds, there was a commotion behind the steel door. The sounds of heavy objects rubbing against the ground sharpened, piercing the ears. But Nanda just stayed in place, waiting until finally, the two steel doors opened wide and showed off the three heads of the young man he was very familiar with.

"SISTER NANDA!" There was a surprise from the voices of the three youths. Their faces were beaming, as if looking at the helper angels descending from the sky. Without a doubt, the three of them ran over the figure of the woman who was shorter than them. The three students, who he had seen almost a month ago, became thinner and black. Oh, so pathetic.

"What? Present, long time no see, you are getting worse," Nanda said humorously, managed to make the three glare.

"Who is ugly?! This is proof of your strength!"

"Delicious gini, we are strong Brother!"

"Sorry bro, I'm handsome, you're ugly."

"Oi! Not loyal to be friends!"

Nanda laughed seeing the three start fighting. Oh, no matter after or even before the virus spreads, it seems like all three will always be crowded and ridiculous. "Ah already. Anyway, you three are ugly, satisfied? Well, I'm going in, you guys get out of the way first."

Without letting the three react, Nanda had already broken through the rain. Get in his pick-up car and grab a walkie-talkie. "Te, get in" he said, then started stepping on the gas and putting the car into the building. With ease, Nanda saw several large machines plastered. Obviously, this is not a warehouse, this is.

"You guys been here a long time?" Nanda exits the car, using the water's ability and squeezing out all the water attached to the body. Within seconds, it was dry again. Success makes three pairs of bulging eyes in disbelief.

How could a body that was originally soaked, suddenly dry?! Oho! Is what they see here magic?! Nanda is also the one who can perform miracles?!

Nanda grinned, looked back at the tub covered in water and did the same. Lifting all the layers of stagnant water and throwing it into the ground to make the food stuff covered with plastic, now back dry and safe.

The eyes of the three students suddenly brightened, the face was beaming, as if watching an incredible circus performance. But before they open their voices, watch the three young men turn to a hummer who enters the building.

"Help close the door again!" Nanda chuckled, walked over to the iron door and closed the door. The three youths flinched. They comply. Running close to the door and helps to seal the steel layer so that it does not open easily. Four people were holding the door with some heavy items being pushed.

"How many factory exits are there? Just this?" asked Nanda while looking around. This room is large, with several small and giant machines.

"We are also new to Sis, we have not really checked," replied Genta honestly.

"Partially, it's too dark now, at least we've got a few doors so we can't open" Bobi added.

Is correct. Their only illumination was two candles that emitted a dim light. Shake and look will be extinguished at any time when the wind blows. Nanda almost forgot that he could see in the darkness, which is why he was a bit surprised when Bobi told him about the dark situation.

Just a few seconds later the young man complained about the dark atmosphere, a fireball suddenly drifting. Provides much better lighting than the two nearly extinguished candles that all three have. The existence of a fireball that suddenly appeared successful made the three students frightened.

"Now it's brighter" Erica said. He just came out of the hummer with five dwarves behind him. "You want to go around and scratch, Nda?" tanyanya turned her head to look at Nanda, ignoring the three pairs of eyes that looked at Erica with eyes glaring in disbelief

"Sister Erica?" Genta Beo.

"Sister Erica with Sister Nanda?" Ken swallowed the forced saliva. "That's .. and they?" he asked so looking at the five little children who were behind the short-haired woman.

"Oh that's Auntie's son" Nanda answered lightly. He walked up to the dwarves and rubbed Raga's head. "Well, you five acquaintances with the brothers, and familiar-kakrab, Brother and Sister Erica want to patrol," he said. The five dwarves nodded obediently, obeying what Nanda said.

"Gue goes with Sis," Bobi immediately volunteered - unable to bear the sight of two women having to patrol protecting men. Oh, his pride as a man hurts to be trampled when he just stays here and lets two women work.

"Son, you guys stay here. Take care of the children," Erica immediately refused. Firmly not letting any of the three youths follow.

"The better the game, brother," Genta denied it. "Gue's coming too, sister,"

"Eh? So I'm taking care of them alone?" Ken stared in disbelief at his two heroes. He reflexively points to himself with the expression 'are you sure?'. Oi! She's not a babysitter, okay!? Why did they have so much heart to conspire to make him the only person in the safe zone while his two friends behaved coolly by patrolling the territory?!

Nanda laughs. "Me and Aunt are enough. You three take good care of the kids, it's also an important task."

"But-"

"Here you go, don't resist" Nanda interrupted. Smiling five fingers then embracing Aunt who was taller than him. "We go first, take care of the kids. If they're okay, your birds are clean!" threatening while making a cutting pose with successful fingers makes the three young men reflexively hold their crotches with horror faces. 

Laughing satisfied with the reaction the three juniors gave, Nanda and Erica started walking around the factory. They walk apart and that's when Nanda uses her wind abilities. He scanned the area while staring at some large machines that were several meters higher. Stand firm and covered in dust. Were it not for the small flashlight he was carrying, Nanda was sure Erica would have suspected that he could see in the darkness.

Well ... flaunting ability, sometimes not a good thing. So far, it has only shown the ability of water. Neither Erica nor the dwarves, only knew that he had the ability of water.

Sighing as she walked between the wall and the high machines, Nanda saw that some doors had been closed and blocked by things like tables or other heavy objects. However, Nanda felt that it was not enough. So he lightly took out his ability.sealing the door with a thick layer of ice that was cold and crystal hard.

Utilizing the presence of stormy weather, Nanda closed her eyes and made all the doors sealed by the ice sheet. But he did it behind the door - making a transparent and cold layer of ice invisible from the inside of the plant.

Feeling quite patrolling downstairs, Nanda climbed the iron stairs and walked towards the 2nd floor. Unlike the ground floor, the second floor consists of only 3 different rooms, each wall is only lined by glass windows so that easily, from the outside see the atmosphere of the room which is a ... lab.

Nanda was silent for a few seconds, before reflexively staring at her surroundings. After feeling safe, with no sound at all he entered the lab. Touching all the equipment and putting it into the dimension of space.

Each Base, would gradually start searching for researchers and create their own lab to conduct research. Well, to build a lab .. of course requires equipment. Therefore, Nanda unceremoniously stole all the equipment inside the Lab. I left nothing left in the room. Although he knew that this equipment must not be too complete, but one day it must be useful.

Satisfied with the loot, slowly and soundlessly, Nanda froze all the outer windows on the Lab. Looking safe is better. After which, he directly descended to the ground floor and returned to the place where the dwarves and the ugly trio had gathered.

"You guys are familiar?" Nanda smiled. Open the back of the hummer and sit in it. A pair of round hazels stared at Ken who was chatting with Galih and Leo. The three sat on the cement floor, unfurling a pelastic carpet as a base near the parked hummer. While the rest, swarming Erica who is cooking near the pick-up car. Well ... With Erica's fire ability, they don't need a stove for cooking.

"Ah? Brother's been on patrol?"

"Hu.um," Nanda nodded.

Ken hesitates. He looked at the two little children sitting nearby, before finally staring at Nanda. "That's ... Brother, can you?"

Nanda's eyebrows shot up. "Ask what?"

"That's .." Ken looked at Erica, then looked back at Nanda. "Sister Erica can make fire, then Brother was .. That, suddenly can dry. Emm ... that .. that's what Kak? How can Brother Erica? Err ... can you teach me also not Brother?"

Nanda grinned. "Would you like to learn?"

Ken's eyes are bright. "Yes Brother!"

"What do?"

"YES!"

"It's magic magic! Where can be down to others! This ability, only exclusive to beautiful girls! So, you have to change your gender if you want to have this power!" Nanda is serious. Raising his chin and looking arrogantly at Ken to the point of success made the young man's face turn irritated.

"So, I'm serious, don't joke!"

Nanda poked her smile. "Well? I'm serious too. This ability cannot be learned."

Ken's awkward. The young man swallowed his disappointment hearing what Nanda said. Seriously? Can't be learned? "Gimana ... how can I get the ability to like Kak? Masa' really have to change gender?"

This time Nanda did not answer. He stared at Ken for a few seconds, looking at something before finally opening his mouth. "Ken, do you know that the zombies out there happen because people can't defend against the virus?"

Ken nodded. He does suspect that. As someone who prefers reading comic books rather than reading textbooks, Ken can guess that this zombie is caused by a Virus just like in the movies he watched or online comics read gratis.

Nanda propped up with one hand. Making a small body tends to lean forward. However, the high hummer car and the presence of Ken sitting on the floor still made the young man have to look up at the figure that will explain the quality of his abilities.

"Every human being has different antibody abilities. With the zombie virus invading the immune system, individual reactions are also different. Some people can dispel the virus so that they will still become ordinary humans, but for those who are ingested by the virus and cannot control it, but some lucky ones ... ."

Nanda smiled five fingers. The side of the free hand lifted up, then a transparent liquid crystal swerved in the air. Moving around like a snake according to Nanda's wishes. The sight made Ken's eyes reflexively focus on the water that suddenly emerged from the empty air. "Wake up not as a zombie, but as a power owner like me. Well, Ken, now you know where this power comes from?"

Ken swallowed the forced saliva. Oh, in other words, the power owners are the ones who've been mixed up with the zombie virus and are lucky to wake up still human? Ken really did not dare to ask what percentage of the possibility of humans being able to wake up as ability users and not zombies.

Given how brutal, ugly and rotten zombies are out there ...

"Yes ..but this is general information, almost everyone who has been to the base knows it. Why can't you know?" Nanda frowned. The information he got was indeed a common thing, that was why he was somewhat astonished and amused by the reaction of the trio of youths when he saw them stupefied as if he had only first seen a power user.

The ability users were born along with the invading zombies, so the researchers also started a craze investigating cause and effect. In the end, a few weeks later the Power User announcement was made on all Bases.

But apparently, this trio did not really know it. However, seeing that the three of them had already been able to reach this place and leave the Villa area safely, didn't it mean that they should have met with a different group once or several times?

Ken bumbling. He seemed to blush as soon as he heard Nanda's question. "Yes ... I know for myself now it's fucked up. We've been writhing some people who can do magical things, but don't dare nanya or deket-deket ama other groups, so ... we really don't know about this."

Nanda sighed. Just deserve ...

"Beware is important, but do not miss information just because it is too paranoid with others. After all, information is the most important thing you first need to know before moving," he said, rising to his feet. Nanda stretched out his body, then smiled five fingers looking at Ken and the two dwarves. "Okay, Auntie's almost done for dinner, let's join them."

The two dwarves excitedly stood up and ran towards Erica's group, while Ken still felt awkward. The young man alternately stared at Nanda's distant back, then the small group who were inside the warm circle of the campfire.

There were only 2 ability users, 3 ordinary people and five small children. This group can be said to be weak with members who have a tendency to be more protected than to protect. This thought made him feel disturbed. It does not want to be that protected object, anything else protected by women. It felt so shameful.

Scratching the back of the head that was not itchy, the figure of the young man rose to his feet and lightly patted his back. He sighed, looked at the group dominated by the sounds of laughter and chatter, then unperturbedly approached and merged into the circle of bonfires.

He will try to be stronger in this weak group .. in order to be a protective object, without having to be protected.
