Zombies

26: Pink Chicken

Never deciding to stay permanently at Base 2 AD, just before Nanda, Erica and the dwarves leave, Nanda gives two house keys to Bobi, Ken, and Genta. It also gives some transparent nuclei to all three. The number of nuclei given is enough to pay for the rent of the house for the next two months until for the first month, they can think slowly for their own lives.

"Sir .. this ... this is too much," Genta was really shy about receiving 10 nuclei. Unlike Ken and Bobi, he doesn't know how to accept it. Bobi and Ken can cultivate for their families, but Ken .. oh, he already has no family anymore and only lives in the Bobi family. Should he give up some for the Bobi family?

"Keep for later purposes," Ken nudged, glaring at Genta who was flushed in shame from being given a nucleus. Oh, come! Why should I feel sorry for Sister Nanda!? Isn't this like getting some money? "Who knows enough to capitalize on finding a girlfriend" he added jokingly.

Nanda laughs. "Well, who knows, it could be a dowry!"

"Sister!" Genta. "Poor cave just this candidate!" The daily language came out immediately, successfully making the three people cry out and come back ridiculing.

The farewells were not done with sadness, but ended with smiles and laughter. After all they will definitely still meet, no need to feel sad or even condolent. When they get the chance, they can visit each other.

Sitting inside the hummer along with a large number of entourage, pick-up cars were already given to the youth trio. Now, after the farewell, it was time for the long journey towards Base 1 AD. Realizing that he was going to the Base where his family was, Nanda could not help but beat quickly at his heart. He's too excited. Hugely. Until he could not feel patient and somewhat annoyed at the speed of the group that felt as slow as a turtle.

"Luckily I'm driving," Erica gave a small smile, mocking Nanda who was endlessly itching to replace Erica. Nanda would obviously step on the gas so that they could hurry up and advance towards Base 1 AD without thinking about the escorting group.

"Very slow," Nanda pouted.

"But safe."

"We're alone enough, it's safe enough."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Nanda mute. He knew that his speech was correct, but saying it directly, was obviously very disrespectful. Lucky that they were in the car by themselves, there were no outsiders at all and the dwarves, strangers chatting in the back.

"Te."

"Hmm?"

Nanda looked out the window, his expression serious. "The tree outside is green."

"The tree trunk is brown," Erica immediately responded. Still focus on driving and know that his nephew is suffering until it becomes an error. Because the journey was too boring and he did not want Nanda to bring a car, this short-haired woman still responded to the ambiguous remarks of her nephew.

"Yes .. the stem is brown, but the leaves are green. Green with various colors. Light green, dark green, or some yellowing too."

Erica nodded. Agree with it and don't really listen.

"The sky is blue, it's because it's layer after layer of the protective layer of ozone. Oh, try it if it's not there, it's black."

"Yes, yes, then we all die because there's no protective layer and can't breathe."

Nanda furrowed his brows. The face is still very serious. "What good is an astronaut suit?"

Erica rolled her eyeballs. "Astronaut clothes are not for sale."

"Oh, yes. Right."." Right."

Silent.

"Te."

"Yes?"

"I saw a chicken with pink fur."

".... ."

Nanda's speech this time made the hummer that was once crowded, suddenly silent. Oh, even though Nanda kept saying unimportant things she saw like trees, rocks or sky, but what her mouth let out was an honesty. Therefore, when the voice of women says pink hairy chicken. I really believe what Nanda said.

As if oblivious to the changing atmosphere around him, a pair of hazel moved, following something behind the lush trees. Eyes squinting. Without hesitation Nanda directly opened the dashboard and pulled out the gun.

"The giant is approaching!"

Just when Nanda's voice fell, seconds later the walkie-talkie in the car rang. Voiced a warning that an unknown creature was approaching. Among the ability users, there was a remote viewing ability user tasked with monitoring the surroundings, that was why, when the notification appeared, everyone started to stand by for a fight.

Mutant Beasts.

One word appeared in his head. Although Nanda knew that Animals and plants would mutate, but he did not expect to find mutant animals so soon. The taste of mutant animal meat is not as good as ordinary meat, but the nutrients are much more, tend to satisfy the energy in the body rather than shaking the tongue.

It is unfortunate that mutant animals and plants, for the early stages, will cause diarrhea and even trigger allergies in the body. It needs adaptation to eat it. Therefore, at first, people would consider mutant animals and plants poisonous, whereas on the contrary, the nutrients in mutant plants and animals were too large so it was not permissible for humans to eat too much.

"Small-pocket! Petok!"

Nanda's eyes brightened. A pair of hazel found several chickens, with dark blue feathers and a slight pinkish color on the neck. There are about 5 chickens with a height of about 2 meters. His sudden appearance, successfully made some soldiers paled in horror. But they are not at all careless. Like those who were used to fighting, the hail of bullets instantly struck the mutant chickens. Creating a clamor of chicken petting and flapping wings that shed feathers.

The chickens are angry. The five monsters clocked and began to rampage near the entourage. Five chickens at once attacked, ravaging a car torn apart by chicken claws capable of penetrating steel. But the number of bullets and the throwing of some things from the users of the ability was too much. This made the giant cock aggressive, eventually dying after almost more than 1 hour of fighting trying to fight.

"It's very strange," Dimas stared at the giant chicken with great interest. He had never seen a chicken this big. "Bring one, the rest leave," he said. Intended to hand over the giant chicken to the lab located at Base 1 AD. This new knowledge might also be able to increase cooperation between the Bases. Well ... he wanted to bring all, but the size of the chicken was too big and they also lost one car. The existence of these chickens completely consumed their space.

"That cocks can't be eaten?" erica asked as Dimas walked past her car. Since then he was just watching, interested in the Pink Furry Chicken that Nanda said. The dwarves were also curious and once they saw the animal, their eyes brightened. The thing they all think about is ... Roast chicken.

Can the chicken be eaten?

Dimas laughing. "Well .. I don't know, but this chicken will be taken to the lab for research. If it can be eaten, next time we can hunt to get it. Chances are, this big chicken doesn't just have one in the woods."

The size is not normal and the power is also not normal, Dimas did not want to take the risk of eating this chicken meat.

Erica nodded in understanding while the five children who heard her let out a disappointed sigh. Oh, if it's edible, they can taste Erica's cooking! With such a large size, they would be very satisfied eating fresh meat! How long have they not eaten roasted chicken? It's been so long that they don't remember!

After putting a giant chicken in a truck and freezing it to prevent decay, the car troupe retreated to walk through the forest. After the gigantic rooster commotion, the children sitting behind started gossiping again. Tells a story about a giant pink-haired chicken. They begin to imagine.

"Perhaps, there will be a Rabbit with dragon wings?"

"Or a catfish as big as a building?"

"Animals become giants, what if they consider us food?"

"Then we must first eat them!"

"Sister Erica will cook it, it'll taste great."

"True, said Om Dimas, it is still being researched, if it is really edible, will we not eat well continue?"

"... ."

These kids are really into eating. Nanda swears that these five dwarves are guaranteed not to be separated from Erica because of her cooking. Oh, it seems like the term stealing someone's heart with food is not just a figment.

After walking for a few hours, it was time to rest for a meal. Just like when they walked towards Base 2, the food distribution came from trucks carrying groceries and was distributed evenly. Waiting for these moments, Nanda happily pulled out of the car.

"Where are you going?" erica asked confusedly. Nanda has not touched the lunch that was shared and just got out of the car.

"I mules," Nanda grinned. "Tante wants to come?"

Erica looked at her nephew with disdain.

Nanda laughed, casually walking into the forest towards the bushes. Silent for a while, the pigtailed woman listened to the wind, making sure a user of distant seeing ability did not notice her. Chatting with the other soldiers behind the truck - not facing him.

It's a shame to waste fresh meat!

Nanda laughed happily in his heart. Luckily, the speed of the convoy was slow. So, it only took him 10 minutes to run, he returned to his intended location.

The corpse of the chicken is still on the ground, bleeding which has started to dry up ...

Well ... Who told him to have the ability of water?

Not stopping grinning, Nanda used her water and wind ability to pluck chicken feathers, then washed the chicken clean. When finally the four giant chickens really looked like cleanly chopped chickens, Nanda stuffed them into the dimension of space.

OH, HE'S REALLY SATISFIED!

Nanda did not stop laughing with the harvest today. When people realized how beneficial mutant meat and vegetables were, they must have regretted it! Mutant meat is not easy to obtain. Not only were they good at hiding, but also their strength was extremely strong. Especially for carnivorous animals that will be much more aggressive and often attack humans ...

Well, at that time, humans had also evolved to become stronger.

Returning at the fastest speed, Nanda approached the hummer right when she saw Erica get out of the car. The woman frowned, looking at Nanda who was endlessly smirking in satisfaction.

"It's not diarrhea, is it?" tanyanya.

"No," Nanda shook her head. Go inside the hummer and eat the bread that becomes lunch. "It's been a few days not out of here."

Erica furrowed her brows, but did not say anything. A few minutes later, the walkie-talkie rang. The journey will continue. After making sure everyone was in the car and no one was left behind, they started walking. However, it was only a few minutes before the roar of the car rang out, Nanda's back stiffened.

"Tante, get ready to fight" he said briefly and pulled a gun out of the dashboard.

As those words came out, a cry sounded. "EVERYTHING ADDS SPEED!"

In a split second, the car in front added speed, making Erica step on the gas deeply. The sounds of alternating gunshots rang out, along with a terrifying little shock. Erica did not dare to turn her head, but Nanda's face had paled.

"Wow!" the kids were amazed. Five dwarves looked back, staring at the many giant chickens running over in panic. They did not even hesitate to step on the car in front of him until it dented and exploded.

"Many chickens!"

"Sister! Can we get one?"

Before we take it, won't we be the food?!

Nanda was panicking. Facing 5 chickens, this entourage could definitely, but faced over a dozen giant chickens with claws capable of tearing iron ... Holy hooch! Is this revenge from the chickens that were previously killed!? Nanda never knew that the chickens now had a sense of solidarity with each other!

This is really not funny! When Nanda as a child liked to chase chickens, now he is being chased by chickens!

"Tante, change positions!" Nanda swallowed the forced saliva. He can't let anyone know his abilities. Therefore, without hesitation they changed positions. Nanda becomes the driver and Erica, with her fire ability, relentlessly throws the fireballs back. However, somehow, the fireballs looked to have no effect at all with the chickens. The fire seemed to burn, but when the pink chicken wings flapped, the fire would be extinguished.

"Great! The fur is fireproof!" Leo was amazed.

"If we can take the feather, does that mean we can walk on fire?" Raga responded-looked seriously at analyzing. Nanda who heard it let out a disappointed breath.

Damnit damnit! He pulled out all the feathers on his turkey ...

If you know that the fur is also very useful, Nanda will not hesitate to collect the feathers as well.

"PETOK!"

The sound of the chicken growing louder was heard, along with the screams and chaos behind. Shots and bombs were fired, but as if not giving up, a flock of chickens still staunchly pursued. Some cars were badly damaged, many were left behind and exploded. I don't know how many victims these chickens caused ...

Like, they're very angry? This Pink Chicken is so vengeful that his friend was killed? Luckily, just when Nanda thought that these chickens would not give up until all the troops were wiped out, a swarm of chickens stopped chasing. They looked tired but the romongan soldiers did not stop stepping on the gas-blur as fast and as far as possible before the chickens attacked again.

Afraid that the chickens were catching up because of the chicken carcasses they were carrying, Dimas unequivocally told the people to dispose of the huge chicken carcass, saying, then leave the area as quickly as possible before a swarm of pink chickens reappear to attack.

They've lost a lot of money by losing a lot of cars on the first day of leaving, Dimas didn't want to risk his life. Therefore, at night, they all gathered at the campfire, discussing the plans ahead.

"I have three options. First, we return to Base 2 to add personnel and supplies, Option two, we will pass through the city which means having to face zombies and the last option ... ," Dimas looked at all the survivors. "We continue to stretch through the forest at risk, there are other animals that will attack."

Everyone was muttering hearing it. Broadly speaking, they have two choices. Go back or continue. Their mission was not only to escort Nanda and the group safely, but also to bring home some of the materials promised by Base 1.

"If we go back, isn't there still a giant chicken waiting?" one of the soldiers made a sound, big enough for the others to hear. That sparked some discussion.

"Is it back on the city road?"

"Isn't it the same? Still have to get out of the forest ... what if you still meet a monster?"

"What if we just keep going? The animal just wants to drive us away because it is in its territory .. Don't the animals usually have their own territorial area?"

The atmosphere of the meeting was not very good. Just by using the campfire as a light, on a pitch-black night, right in the middle of the forest, a group of men and a few women began to discuss. Intently refuting each other, stubbornly assuming their ideas are the best.

This concerns the lives of many parties, not just one or two humans. A group that tries to reach a consensus in order to find the least likely risk of loss of life.

In the end, after the night got late, everyone agreed to continue the journey. They already know the risks of losing their lives. At least, if they made it to Base 1 sooner, their mission was completed and could return well with the escorting group of Base 1 AD.

Nanda sighed. He returned to the hummer and saw a small tent. Inside, five dwarves fell asleep, while Erica stood up. Leaning your back to a cold, dirty hummer.

"Auntie's not sleepy?" ask Nanda. The figure called Aunt shook her head. "Then I go to sleep, Auntie is on guard" he said, opening the car door. However, before Nanda closed the door again, he heard his aunt calling.

"Sir."

"Yes?" Nanda changed the position of the chair, making it straight until he could lie down.

"You can help them."

Nanda's movements stopped the moment he heard it. Erica's voice was like a whisper, but it was very clear to hear. Her tone was flat, as if lacking emotion, but Nanda was very clear that Erica.

He could help others, but he didn't.

The one sentence Erica threw out was very simple, but it made a pair of hazel lose brightness. The aunt, as if not expecting any response, just wanted to say this sentence. The woman no longer leaned against the hummer. Choosing to go and patrol with a few other soldiers without any intention of knowing his own nephew's reaction.

'You can help them.'

The words were as if they were whispers of death. Giving off a cold feeling as if slapping his face. If someone else says it, Nanda will not think, but the one who speaks is Tantenya. He was quite self-aware that this action was extremely cruel. Malicious. Nanda can obviously help them, but prefers to let. Watching and pretending to be weak.

If it helps, it means that it will increase the ability. Nanda really didn't want people to know that he was so strong. He did not want people to start depending on him and thought that he was an angelic heart. It was a waste of energy just to save them. Then when he did not succeed in saving one of his comrades .. they will blame him, assuming that he deliberately did not help.

However, in his previous life, Nanda had seen death more than once, almost every day, it made him numb. Everyone has a responsibility to take care of their lives, not to give them up and rely on the help of others.

Everyone would consider every life precious, but for Nanda, only the lives of those he cared about were precious. He would close his eyes to strangers, but as for the person he loved, Nanda did not hesitate to help.

But ... Not everyone understands that. Not everyone understands his thoughts. Don't they know that the sight of the stronger, the eyes that seem to say their lives will be saved just because of following the strong, it only makes one burdened with uncertain expectations? Nanda does not like the burden, he does not like it when others selfishly consider it the main means of protection.

Man is selfish and Nanda himself feels selfish. Emphasizing their own thoughts rather than others, moving without caring for anyone's opinion. Yes, he is selfish. Hugely. But it also dawned on him that he himself was also a human.

'You can help them.'

Yep. Sure oes. But sorry, I don't want to.
