Zombies

34: Drinking Blood

Three figures, two men and one woman, lined up neatly in a neat little courtyard. They stood firm, not moving like statues. Were it not for their tattered clothes and somewhat gray skin, Nanda would have sure thought they were human ...

Standing in front of these three level 5 zombies gave Nanda goosebumps. He was a bit scared, not because they were creepy, but this was more like instinct. After all, the three zombies were stronger, even though they looked docile due to Ganesha's orders, Nanda could not hold back her standing hair.

Therefore, Nanda stood somewhat keeping her distance. He asked Ganesha to bring zombies here and did not expect three level 5 zombies to come. Although the body was stiff, immobile, but a pair of curious black eyes did not stop moving to look at Nanda. As if to ask .... what does this food do?

Nanda swallowed his forced saliva, ignoring the feeling of being stared at as food and began to exercise his abilities. The zombies seemed to realize this. Their eyes were round, but still not moving. Submissively, the three let Nanda use the water ability, inspecting their bodies for almost half an hour ...

"That's ... Honey, can you ask him to eat this?" asked Nanda while taking out the jerky. Oh, Nanda wanted to bring out the fruit, but given that zombies are carnivores and don't seem to be omnivores .. well, cooked meat, are they more receptive?

Ganesha, who had been standing behind Nanda, heard the figure calling out to him. The tall man bowed, a pair of black irises staring at the woman. Brimmed and clearly did not understand what her little warmth wanted.

Nanda smiled. He pointed at the jerky, made a feeding gesture then pointed at one of the male zombies. "Eat, can you make him eat this?" rephrase Nanda, gently asking. After all, this woman was already used to being patient with others, what else was with her own husband? Why can't she tolerate to repeat and explain until her own husband understands?

Ganesha understands. He received the jerky that Nanda gave him, then gave a piece of meat to one of the zombies. The tall man growled and the zombies in front of him moved. Take a jerky and eat it without a doubt.

Seeing him, Nanda hurriedly used the ability. Checking the bodies of zombies eating jerky. He could see the rejection of the zombie body, clearly not feeling pleased with the food that went into his mouth. But the zombies keep swallowing. When the food comes in...magic thing happens. The flesh just melted away, as if corroded, then absorbed into the body and mixed with the black flesh and blood of zombies ...

Nanda raised his eyebrows, but kept observing ...

He one by one gives the zombies food while keeping an eye on the body changes of the zombies. These things cannot be observed with the naked eye. If it wasn't for the control of his rapidly increasing water abilities, Nanda would have been unlikely to notice it. He experimented with giving some kind of food. Vegetables or meat. Fried, boiled or raw. He even asks Ganesha to order some zombies to hunt mutants, asking the three guinea pigs to eat mutant meat ...

Observations for almost a month made Nanda's face radiant and felt very extraordinary. The pair of hazel was extremely focused, gleaming full of enthusiasm. He completely forgot his fear at the beginning. Are you afraid of this new discovery?

Human food, whether vegetable or meat, cooked or raw, does not have a negative effect on the body of zombies. But it definitely doesn't taste good to them. So, human food can be eaten by zombies, but since it does not have any effect when eaten, zombies do not like to eat it.

On the contrary, for fresh meat, Zombies look more vibrant. They clearly liked the taste and from observation, Nanda discovered that fresh blood and meat also had a good effect on the body of the zombie. The mutant fresh meat, drained the energy and was well absorbed by the zombie body. Some of the excess energy, will be stored into the nucleus .. So, that's where the source of energy that has been contested by humans. Also, from this Nanda knew that zombies are not just 'eating'. The reason why they do not like carcasses is certain because the energy contained in the carcass is no longer there.

Zombies obviously have no taste perception .. So, no matter how good the food is cooked, as long as there is no energy content in it, zombies will define the food as 'unpleasant'.

"My dear NesNes" Nanda dragged Ganesha into the house, then led the zombie to sit on the sofa right next to her. "You hungry?" he stretched out his own arm towards Ganesha's mouth.

The pair of black eyes blinked. Her husband clearly understood, but the figure did not move. Realizing this, Nanda's eyebrows were adrift. Over the course of a few days, he realizes that zombies need 'food' in order for them to move. Zombie bodies, will gradually be inflexible and more rigid when they are not eating for longer.

Ganesha's body was extremely hard and cold, it felt like a block of ice cubes. If it wasn't for Nanda getting used to making ice with her ability and she was quite immune to the cold, she sure wouldn't be able to bear to come in contact with her own husband's skin.

"Darling, how long haven't you been eating?" Nanda asked patiently. They had been together for a month, he also taught Ganesha to speak. Luckily, her husband was very smart. Although IQ was still the same as a child, at least Ganesha could already speak, it caused them to be able to communicate well.

Ganesha knit his brows. They think and count in their hearts. But he seemed to be unable to remember, so only one word came out from the pale thin cleavage of lips.

"Old."

The voice was heavy and hoarse, low-pitched and very manly. Every time she heard Ganesha's different voice, Nanda felt her face heat up. Oh, he likes to hear it. It's very .. sexy. But given the childlike mentality of the husband, he had to slap his own face. This makes his sexual desire fall to the freezing point in the conspiracy of seconds.

Long ... I don't know how long. Nanda came to a conclusion, sighed and shook his head. Her husband had not eaten at all since they met. But realizing Ganesha doesn't seem to want to bite him ...

"Honey," with the ability of the wind, Nanda instantly slashed her own arm. An elongated red line was visible, then gradually, red liquid came out. "Eat," he said softly then directed his injured arm to Ganesha's mouth.

The pair of black irises looked at Nanda, but this time did not refuse. The cold lips opened, and then began to lick the bleeding arm. That cold touch gave a goosebump, but Nanda still maintained her expression. Smiled gently and looked at every move of Ganesha closely.

Her own husband also noticed. He carefully licked, seeing that Nanda did not seem to be in pain, somewhat doubtfully, the zombie opened its mouth and sucked the blood that no longer came out. A pair of black eyes could not help but look at Nanda's face. It was as if figuring out when it was time to stop and fear that this female human was feeling uneasy.

Oh, Nanda's already had a severed hand and organs all nearly destroyed and crumpled dimly, scratched with a little blood coming out is not a problem. Although he could feel some viruses starting to enter and roam his bloodstream, Nanda held back the viruses while continuing to regenerate. Don't let her husband not be full just because he ran out of blood ...

Nanda. Suddenly he realized that his blood was disappearing faster than his blood was coming back. This made Nanda expel the nucleus and begin to absorb energy to ensure his blood supply was enough to keep Ganesha full. Unfortunately, he still lost. Nanda could feel her head start to get dizzy and body tingling. Then as he blinked, the familiar ceiling became the first thing he saw.

Nanda's eyebrows knitted. He changed his lying position to sit down, then looked down at the clothes filled with foul smelling black stains. Nanda clearly also felt the smell of rust in his mouth. Oh, looks like he fainted? Then because consciousness disappears, the body immediately releases the virus?

Nanda sighed and looked around. He was in the room, obviously Ganesha was the one who brought him here. He also found that his hands held several dark blue nuclei so that he could not close his own hands because too many nuclei had accumulated.

Storing all the nuclei into the room, Nanda got up and removed the clothes attached to the body. Without going to the bathroom, he used the ability of water to cleanse his own body. Oh, he doesn't like this foul scent. Really not fun. After finishing the bath, the long-haired woman put on a t-shirt and jeans, then walked out of the room.

"Nda," a familiar heavy voice instantly tickled the hearing. A pair of black eyes emitting panic and anxiety greeted Nanda's vision. "Are you okay?" tanyanya slow. Each syllable is somewhat stammering, rigid. But clear and understandable.

Nanda could not help but smile. "It's okay, baby, I'm just a little hungry" she said gently and reached out with a hand to wipe her husband's head. But in that very second, Nanda was stiff. His movement stopped once he felt the difference.

Ganesha was still as pale as ever, also with a hard skin, but his body temperature was clearly warmer. It's even a little hotter than Nanda's body temperature.

"Nda?" noticing the strangeness of the female human in front of him, Ganesha came back anxious. "I've been looking for fruit, Nda eat," he said and handed over some mangoes, papayas, bananas. The pair of eyes blinked, then a while later, chuckled at the offerings her husband had given her.

"Thank you" said Nanda happily, bringing all the fruit into the living room. Nanda took the banana and ate it without hesitation. "Darling, you .. do you feel warmer?" tanyakanya. Ganesha's body was no longer cold, this was clearly the effect of his blood. "Does it feel more comfortable?"

Ganesha nodded in response, but a moment later, a pair of dark irises looked sad. The empty hand was clasped, somewhat tightly but did not make Nanda feel any pain at all. "Nda .. no .. eat ... Nda again," he said stammering.

Not drinking his blood anymore ...

Nanda swallowed the banana in his mouth. "Dear NesNes, if you don't drink my blood, you'll eat mutant meat?"

Ganesha, without hesitation, nodded.

Nanda furrowed his brows. He once asked if Ganesha had ever eaten a human, his beloved zombie shook his head. Ganesha never eats humans, but instead, he always eats animals. But the energy contained in animals is clearly different from the energy contained in human blood that has special abilities.

"Darling, don't eat animals, you better drink my blood, okay?"

Ganesha furrowed his eyebrows. "No."

Sighing, a free hand rubbed Ganesha's head. "Before, NesNes was very hungry?"

From a body temperature that had even reached freezing point and now, Nanda could guess how hungry her husband was ...

The head nodded, then a few deitks later, a pair of dark irises looked sad. "Sorry."

"It's okay," Nanda hurriedly denied. "Well, I fainted because Ganesha drank too much. NesNes had nothing to worry about," smiled, the long-haired lady tried to persuade her beloved zombie. "As long as NesNes drinks my blood not as much as before, I won't do anything."

Ganesha looks doubtful. "really?"

"Of course," Nanda nodded. "Dear, look at my body? Looks all right, doesn't it?" he said, stretching the arm that was originally injured, now does not even show a scar. Ganesha watched him, still hesitating but in the end nodded.

"Well, it's okay to suck my blood, as long as it's not too much ... NesNes simply drinks my blood once a few days or once a week, it won't make you very starving-"

"No" Ganesha interrupted. The two hands that were still grasping Nanda, were somewhat stiff and tight. "Dangerous."

"Dangerous?"

Ganesha nodded, but the zombie did not open its mouth to explain. It made Nandan think extra, trying to translate what Ganesha meant to be dangerous ...

"Darling," Nanda looked at her husband seriously. She did not understand what it meant to be dangerous, but she knew she was refusing. "Out there, there are still more zombies and stronger humans, you know that right?"

Ganesha.

"What if they hurt me?"

The pair of dark irises instantly flushed red, looking brazen and ferocious. "No!" said loudly. "Nda, i. Protect it!"

Nanda swallowed the forced saliva. Trying to endure the warm feeling that tickled his heart. "Oh, but they are stronger ... NesNes will lose, I'll be sick ... ."

"No!"

Nanda's eyebrows shot up. "No?"

"Me, stronger!"

Nanda nodded calmly. Looks very innocent and agrees. "Yes, my dear is stronger, but what if they are stronger?"

The expression on Ganesha's face changed. Suddenly he looked tangled, but anger was clearly still visible.

"Well, that's why NesNes has to be stronger, right?" Without hesitation, Ganesha nodded. "One way for NesNes to become strong is by drinking my blood."

This time, Ganesha did not nod. The man's eyebrows were adrift with a pair of irises that were focused on looking at Nanda. Nanda smiled, not stopping to explain.

"Darling ... My blood can make you stronger, if you drink it, you'll be stronger and able to protect me, right? After all, as long as you drink it not much, I'm fine, won't get sick or hurt at all" he said gently. But the remark only made Ganesha feel doubtful, but could not deny. Oh, looks like what Nanda said is indeed .. right? He does feel warmer and more energetic when drinking Nanda's blood.but seeing Nanda pass out, Ganesha cannot stop blaming himself.

"Darling ... You only need to drink it twice a week, it's not much, I won't do anything," Nanda still did not give up persuading. The tone was very gentle, teasing Ganesha with a slightly pleading veil. "If NesNes is stronger, NesNes will protect me well" he added.

Zombies do not agree. He looked at Nanda hesitantly, thinking for almost half an hour. Nanda even managed to finish off all the offerings Ganesha had given him before finally, the male zombie suddenly nodded. "okay."

Nanda at first did not 'ngeh' with what her husband meant by the word. Yet seeing that tangled expression .. he instantly knew what Ganesha meant. It made him laugh. Oh, long time thinking about his request. But finding that Ganesha had finally given up, Nanda was already quite satisfied.

The food problem is now solved. The language problem has also been solved. Although Ganesha was still stammered when speaking more than two words, but it was enough for camouflage. As long as her husband did not open his mouth or growl, there was no way anyone could guess that he was a Zombie.

Sighing, Nanda stared at the house he had occupied for a month. Oh, it's time to head outside to the army-led Base. After all, he could not selfishly remain silent without news. His family was certainly worried, but with Ganesha's current state, it was impossible to return to Base 1 AD. Therefore, it was better that he gave the news. Oh, he had never even once contacted Papa and Mama who were on different bases ...

Nanda grimacing. Suddenly, he felt like a child of a nurhaka. There were too many things going on, Nanda completely forgot to contact them .. well, when he arrived at the Base that was operating under the military, he said, Nanda would try to contact her in-laws and ask them to greet her parents.

Hopefully when he contacts, Wijaya's family does not run amok because he is clearly running away from home ...

Ah, really. There was too much PR to complete.
