Zombies

22: Storm

The sound of thunder was accompanied by lightning which seemed to make the sky collapse. Disrupts the sense of hearing and vision. The strong wind was furious and wanted to throw whatever it was through. Rain water like a needle drop that falls to the earth with a rush to hit whatever is passed, wetting all things that block the road.

Taps. Taps. Taps.

Light but fast. The footsteps that broke the water into a ripple looked like a shadow. Move so easily between all the chaos that is around. The slender figure dressed in all-black clothes fused with the darkness, making it almost invisible as each movement seemed to leave only a faint shadow.

"Aarrrgghhhh!"

An angry roar raged between the wind and the rain. The human-like creature roared towards the sky, before finally staring around with its head turned to the right and to the left. The woman who was only wearing a brown nightgown was almost naked. Her clothes were tattered, showing off an area of skin that was gray and stained by some scratches that were spitting out black blood.

Srak!

The scratching is back up. This time it was deeper and was on both knees to make a female zombie instantly fall on the grass. Black liquid flowed out the leaking tap tub, making the angry roar of the female Zombie even more terrifying. Some of the other zombies in the surroundings were roaring about as if furious as their leader was being injured.

As if to be an instinct, the zombies that had originally spread, frantically ran over to the female zombies. Surround and create defensive fortifications made from their own bodies. This did not deter Nanda from killing the level 4 female zombies, but the problem was that this zombie fortress would give the female zombies time to heal all the wounds that were on her body.

Nanda scrunched his eyebrows. In the midst of storms and strong winds, his body was not wet at all. With ease, a small inclined figure made use of the strong wind around, making the wind twist and force even stronger until the zombies that were around the female zombies were swept flat. It made the female zombie scream in panic. But Nanda did not care. He directly attacked the female zombie with water abilities. Shower him with water bullets that solidify and make every deep scratch on every zombie skin.

This isn't enough.

His breathing gradually became somewhat heavy. After all, the skin of a level 4 zombie was extremely hard. He could only attack with all his might to scratch each area of the joint continuously to weaken the movement of the zombies, especially the neck. But the female zombie seemed to know its purpose. He relentlessly moved his head, trying to dodge the water bullet even though some scratches remained on his skin.

Nanda clenched her teeth. Without hesitation use thin and dense ice needles. Replacing hot water bullets, into thin needles that are very hard and cold. Nanda also had no qualms about freezing the female zombies. Prevent his movement and successfully make the figure does not move back.

Srak!

Millions of ice needles slid simultaneously onto the heads of the female zombies that could not move. Then within a matter of seconds, the ice needles shot out, piercing the body of the female zombie.Fine holes were formed, but due to too much ... easily the immobile body was gradually flooded by the nonstop black liquid flowing out from behind the hollowed out skin before finally crumbling as if melting into minced meat.

"Haah .. ," Nanda heaved a sigh of relief. Just when the level 4 zombies had lost, the other zombies that were around him were like headless cockroaches. Staggered walking and not necessarily directions. Nanda smiled amusedly. The mood was very good after successfully killing the female zombie. Therefore, he immediately waved, condensed the air and easily, decapitating the many zombie heads around him.

Oh, a week or so ago this storm happened. The strong wind accompanied by rain really looks dangerous. Especially at night that tends to be pitch dark without any lighting. But Nanda has night vision. The elements of his ability were wind and water. The storm this time really made it filled with energy. The proof, he had just felt exhausted, in seconds his energy seemed to be replenished. He just needed to be a little quiet and all the fatigue was swept away.

Realizing the situation in his favor, Nanda did not waste it at all. Hence, during the storm, he unhesitatingly dashed out alone just to train his abilities. Oh, Nanda managed to defeat a level 4 zombie, but defeating one level 4 zombie, it took him over 2 hours. That's long enough and draining the ability. But luckily, the situation now easily replenished his energy battery back.

Running around the area in the middle of the storm, right Erica said. This area is a plantation and livestock area. Some warehouses that housed the crops were visible, there were also some used cages that had been damaged. But unfortunately, so far more zombies and some damaged used cars are parked carelessly. Oh, lucky they chose a factory building that is a distance away from the farm, if not ... Nanda could imagine they would meet the female zombie earlier.

In order to return to the factory, Nanda quickly changed clothes and sneaked into the factory. With no sound at all, the pigtailed woman got into the pick-up car and lay down. His energy was filled again, but physically, Nanda felt tired. Therefore, when he lay down and put his head on the pillow, the woman easily falls into a quiet sleep.

"Keep punching!"

"Be careful!"

Nanda and Erica stared at 8 different sized people facing some zombies. The five dwarves and the trio of youths worked together. Trying to eradicate the level 1 zombies that Erica and Nanda accidentally send. There were only 2 zombies, but due to the state of strong winds and rain, the movements of the youths and children were blocked.

"My feeling or are you intentional, Nda?"

"Hm?" Nanda did not turn his head, his eyes still looked at the people fighting in the factory courtyard. If there is an accident, at least he can do prevention faster.

"You purposely made them train harder," Erica leaned back against the chair, staring from the second floor behind the glass window. From this height, they watched without making the people below them feel disturbed. Training intensity is getting higher, especially for outdoors. Erica was also made to practice thanks to Nanda. However ... "You said it yourself, don't make child soldiers."

Nanda sighed. "Te, I just want to train them physically, not turn them into super strong and join the army."

"They're physical's good enough."

Nanda pouting. "Te, sudden temperature changes and extreme environmental changes, it will affect their physical. When their physiques could not lift him .. ," Nanda shook his head. Not wanting to say those words. "After all, they are not users of abilities, it would be dangerous if their bodies were not forced to start adapting to the environment."

The short-haired woman let out a heavy sigh. Since realizing that the weather changes now tend to be extream and very unnatural, especially the intensity is like forcing everyone to gradually die, either to die of heat due to dehydration or freeze to death due to hyportemia. Erica realizes that Nanda is getting serious.

It strictly ensures the physicality of everyone will get used to the environment. In both cold and hot weather, they should be able to accept it. Therefore, without hesitation Nanda asked the dwarves and the trio of young men to always train outside where the storm and heavy rain were hitting.

"Good job!" Nanda exclaimed, applauding from the second floor when the Zombies were defeated. They take less than 30 minutes. Play the roar like that, the Zombie should be defeated in less than 10 minutes, but when the youths attach more importance to the little dwarves to attack and even subtly teach them which parts come first to attack, 30 minutes is the fastest time to get, purely for the little ones who had just been taught by the trio of youths who were with them.

"Okay, everyone's been working hard, it's time to get in, take a warm bath, then eat!" Nanda smiled, then got up and turned around to leave the second floor. While the children and young men who heard it both heaved a sigh of relief, before finally throwing laughter at each other while re-entering the factory building in a state of a body soaked.

Everyone felt tired, but these dwarves seemed to be unaware of it. They pushed each other, screamed and laughed. Run and race who first goes into the factory. A child's laughter echoed in a large room filled with cold machines. Sounds fun and full of happiness. It has a very contagious impact, making anyone who hears it, can not resist the curved smile on both lip hemispheres.

"Okay, Erica!" Four children and three young men in line answered in unison.

"Here, here, sister, I'll help you" Ken saw the dirty pot Erica was carrying and reflexively moved to grab it. She knew Erica wanted to wash it, so she was very helpful. Seeing the diligent Ken, Bobi and Genta were irritated. They want to be useful too!

"Is there anything else, brother?" ask Genta. "Washing vegetables or something?"

"Bring some stuff for example?" Boby added. The three of them started using the language. After all, what Nanda said did make sense. In Pangkalan, there will be many people with various languages because from various regions, Pangkalan, has been confirmed to decide to use Baku as a compulsory language to communicate, that is why, at least, they must get used to it.

"When do we have vegetables?" little Raga said, questioning the prihal of green plants that they have not eaten for a very long time. After all, vegetables and fruits were impossible to eat. When found, most of them have withered and moldy. The origin of taking in the wild is also not guaranteed, that's why they have never eaten vegetables at all.

"Oh, right," Genta awkwardly, scratched his cheeks clumsily.

Erica smile. "Later we can eat vegetables when we get to the base."

"Why should I eat vegetables? Meat is enough, it's delicious," Karin pouted. He does not like to eat vegetables. Oh, not just him, but the other kids think the same. That is why they do not matter at all in the absence of the presence of plants cooked in their bowls.

"Pfftt-ahaha, you kids, nobody likes vegetables?" Bobi laughed, rubbing Karin's head which began to extend almost touching the shoulder.

"Don't like it" Monta answered honestly. His face was solemn, as if declaring a frown that he considered vegetables to be a natural enemy to avoid.

"Why don't you like vegetables?" Erica smiled, leaned back against the wall and crossed her arms while staring at the line. When Ken finished washing, he joined in and listened to the small group that started discussing vegetables.

Leo pursed his lips. "The taste of vegetables .. is not good."

The other three boys agreed.

"What if the vegetables are cooked to be delicious?"

"Eh?" the kids look confused. They looked at each other, obviously feeling shocked by Erica's statement that would make vegetables a good? Can it really be?

"Waah .. severe, all this time you guys eat is not Kak Erica's cooking, masa' do not believe in Kak Erica's cooking?" Ken laughed amusedly inwardly, but his expression was made as serious as possible. Staring at the four dwarves who did not like vegetables with a disappointed look.

Bobi grinned. "Hayoo. Brother Erica's cooking isn't good, is it?"

"Have a son!"

"Take Erica's sister good!"

The children hurriedly replied, panicking at the accusations leveled by Bobi. Oh, Kak Erica's cooking is always good, they love Kak Erica's cooking, that's why they never leave food at all.

"The mess that Erica's sister made must be delicious!"

"Oh yeah?"

"YES!"

Erica laughed at the temptation of the trio of youths and the panic of the little ones. He shook his head in disbelief as he held the pot that was already clean. "Well ... later, when you get to the base, Big Brother will make it. You can taste it first, whether it will be delicious or not" he said wisely.

"Ah, Brother Erica's cooking is definitely delicious," Ken chuckled. Oh, of course it's delicious, isn't Brother Erica a Chef? He was used to the kitchen and processing food in high-class restaurants. The result of his hand skills could not be underestimated.

Erica just snorted amusedly with that compliment.

"Oh, brother, is Nanda sleeping again?" ask Bob suddenly. Somehow, Nanda often fell asleep. The longhaired woman would only wake up when they would train outside the factory temporarily to enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner ... Nanda really doesn't want to be bothered. He even made a block of ice so that no one could disturb his sleep.

It makes everyone feel anxious. What really happened to Nanda? Nanda is the type of person who is active and can not be silent, but suddenly ...

"Yes," Erica nodded.

"Sir Nanda .. He's not sick, is he?" Ken swallowed his forced saliva, not hiding his worries. The cheerful and petite figure of Nanda looked very fragile.

"Relax, she is healthy, even very healthy," Erica sighed, feeling somewhat amused by the worries of the trio of youths and the little ones around her. "It's just ... mm .. like someone who's full, and then feels sleepy" she explained. But unfortunately, no one understood Erica's intentions. But looking at the short-haired woman seemed unwilling to explain anything and not to worry .. well ... maybe Nanda is okay?

Actually, their worries were very unnecessary. Erica realized that because she herself also experienced it, but it was not as severe as Nanda. Erica's ability is an element. When the air temperature tends to be dry or the absence of moisture that blocks the fire from burning, it will feel always energetic. Therefore sometimes, when the temperature is too hot, Erica tends to feel comfortable and make her rather sleepy because of the endless energy like filling it.

This time, the storm also provoked Nanda. Nanda's ability was water and this time, a lot of water was falling. The child is clearly an excess of energy, hence every night it will come out to vent its energy. That's why, when he returned, Nanda had to rest physically which all night made tired. But Nanda's sleep was too long. The storm is constantly raging out there. The energy provided is certainly very abundant. Wouldn't want to if can't vent it ... Nanda had to consume it himself for his physical development.

That's why it doesn't matter if Nanda sleeps for so long. At midnight, his nephew will eat. After all, the physique of an ability user was much stronger than that of an ordinary human. Not eating at all is also not a problem as long as they rest enough. More ...

Somehow, Erica felt that Nanda was now, much stronger than before.
