Capítulo 27: The Tripper [Journey to the City of Peace is close to the end]
Nothing can do except fighting when this world is in deadly outbreak. The zombie outbreak has spreaded out around this world. No one can survive except the strong one.
When the outbreak spreads, several men and women were trying to reach a destination which promised new hope, the City of Peace. But the existence of the city was still unclear.
There were a woman and two men, were walking together in a beach that fulled by wreckages.
They're Scott, Eric, and Sheila, who were looking for another way to reach right path that heading to the City of Peace.
"The boats are useless. They are very heavy and can't be ridden. Their engines are also in disfunction," Scott said while walking and looking for anything that can help.
"We should follow the guy. I think he can be relied. He is a leader who are trying to solve problem," Eric said as he stopping his steps. "Oh, no. There are many infecteds in there. We can't keep moving. This is dead end," he added while looking at those zombies crowd.
"We have to find another way. The abandoned resort probably can be our temporary hideaway," Sheila said as she looking at the resort she meant about.
"No more hideaway. Except at night. This moment, we will continue to move. You should see the resort has many infecteds inside," Scott replied when seeing several zombies wandering behind resort's windows.
Sheila and Eric just gazed to him without any words.
Scott and the others then continued to move by crossing a safe area that hidden between the abandoned resort and small garden.
But they met dead end when several zombies spotting them.
"Oh, crap! Run!" Scott shrieked while jumping pass an iron fence at right.
But too late. Several zombies blocked Sheila and Eric's way. They're surrounded by these infecteds.
"Scott, do something! We are going to die!" Eric shouted panicly.
"Damn it!" Scott took his gun then shooting these zombies until part of them diverting target to him.
What Scott done can't divert those zombies away from Sheila and Eric. They're going to be zombies's prey.
But suddenly, someone looked strange appeared from a resort's building roof. The person jumped to the ground then attacking those zombies using bare hands.
Incredible, the person who is a man could defeat all zombies until them falling down to the ground in destroyed condition.
The man was looked very strange for a human. He was a human but looked like a zombie. He had pale skin like a dead man. His head was always tilt to the right. His right eye had different appearance with left eye. His right eye had light blue color. It's very contrast compared to his left eye that looked normal.
He also had a thing like harness shaped 'Y' that sticking at his back. The harness was colored light blue.
"Are you okay?" the zombie man said while checking everyone he met.
"What are you, dude?" Eric asked curious as he staring at the zombie man.
"My name is Roland. You're welcome. Now, you can pay my lunch bill," the zombie man who was apparently Roland said while checking everyone pockets.
"Where can we pay your bill, man? This town is dead for now," Scott said while looking suspicious at Roland.
"You can pay every my bills at Madness City. Let me guess, all of you must want to go to the Peace City. The Madness City is not so far from the Peace City," Roland replied while leaving.
"Hei, where are you going? Can we leave with you?" Sheila shouted while chasing Roland.
Roland stopped his steps then looking at Sheila.
"What can I help, sweetheart? Aah, your body is very fresh. I like it. Come on. Come with me. All of you will reach the Peace City then you can visit me at Madness City," he said then continuing to walk.
Finally Scott and the others followed Roland who was ready to accompany them heading the City of Peace or the Peace City.
"I am very unique, you know? I was a healthy man until the infected bit me at my nape. By the way I was bitten after succeeded escaping from the giant zombie. That's very horrible. Lucky for me, there is a scientist group who helped me to transform me into this," Roland explained about himself and what's happened to him until becoming the zombie man.
"So you are the infected that still has living human memory?" Scott said.
"Absolutely correct. Technically I have died but I am still living. That's confusing but it's true," Roland replied.
"Will you kill those all zombies?" Sheila said when looking a huge crowd of zombies wandering at thirteen meters front of them.
"I am not a killing machine. People call me and the others like me as 'Tripper'. We can fight but we can't buldoze those infecteds so many like that. Better for us to find another way," Roland said as she refusing to attack those crowd of zombies.
"Even the zombie also doesn't want to die," Sheila muttering while following Roland.
"But your ability is awesome, man. Your fighting ability is very useful to fight zombies or the bad guy. If I may ask, can I become Tripper like you, men?" Eric said responded by Roland with waving hand.
"That is not so simple, weak one. If you wanna be a Tripper, you have to undergo the Tripper Treatment Procedure. The treatment procedure doesn't guarantee that the procedure will succeed," Roland explained.
"So, there are still possibilities about the treatment?" Eric asked.
"Yeah, the treatment has less chances to succeed. Only the lucky one can pass the treatment procedure," Roland answered while stopping his steps. "The only path has been blocked by those zombies. I need to refill more serum to my harness. The serum will help me to eliminate all those zombies," he added while taking several small glass bottle from his pockets.
Roland injected these serums to the harness that sticking at his back. These serums has light blue color like the harness or Roland's right eye.
After injecting these serums, Roland dispossing the empty bottle to the ground. Then he ran fast to these zombies.
Roland attacked those zombies using his bare hands. Sometimes several black long tentacles appeared from his harness to attack zombies.
Just in minutes, Roland finnished his fight against zombies.
"This is tiring," he said while leaving.
Their journey continued. They arrived at a big river that separate two territories of two countries.
"We will enter Roderia by crossing the river. But, there are no boat there," Scott said.
"Because this river is the boundary of Roderia and Gloria. There are boats but not here. Come on. We need to go to upstream," Roland said as he walking to the upstream.
"So, you can't use your ability to crossing this river?" Sheila said confused.
Roland chuckled. "I don't want to waste my serum to do something ungrave," he said.
After one hour they walked along the river, finally they found a small dock that has some boats there.
"I am hungry, damn it! I am thirsty and I am tired," Sheila complained.
"Easy, sweetheart. We will use one of these boats soon," Roland said while approaching to one of these boats.
Finally they crossed the river using one of these boats. After crossing the river, they continued to walk.
"Where is the Peace City exactly, Roland? Is the Peace City located in Roderia?" Eric asked.
"No, the city wasn't located at any country. It is standing at it's own territory," Roland said.
"What? How could it be?" Sheila asked curious.
"The city territory was Roderia and Zakin territory that captured by Johny Ballam in order to shelt survivors," Scott said.
"Oh, you know about it. Did you live in there?" Roland said.
"Yeah, I lived there until I went out to look for my girlfriend who was still missing. I have surrendered to look for her anymore. So I choosed to comeback to the city," Scott answered.
"Your girlfriend must be down if hearing about your recent words," Sheila commented.
"So, what must I do? Looking for her until be found already becomes a zombie?" Scott replied Sheila words.
"We need to find a car. Our journey is still too far. We can't walk continuously," Roland said while looking at a van that parked front of a restaurant building. "There are people in there. I don't know if they've become zombies or not," he added while approaching to the door of the abandoned restaurant.
"Maybe they are armed, Roland. We have to leave or they will shoot us," Scott said when seeing a barrel of gun appears behind a window.
"Get down!" Roland shouted while hitting everyone until falling down to the ground.
Suddenly gunshots broke out from the abandoned restaurant. Dozens of bullets hit everything in there.
After the gunshots ended, Roland shouted.
"Whoever you are! Please get out from there! We are same. We are the survivors. We are not zombies!"
Several minutes later after Roland shouted, the door of the abandoned restaurant opened.
A man weared clothes like a cowboy, got out from the building followed by the others.
"What the hell are you?" the man said suspicious to Roland.
"I am the Tripper. Had you heard about that?" Roland said.
"Tripper? I have heard about that new race," a girl black curly haired said.
"New race? No, Tripper is not new race. Tripper is a human that has two sides in their body, human side and zombie side," Roland said while looking at the girl.
"Nice to know. I am Clara. What is your name, mr. Tripper?" the girl named Clara said to ask Roland name.
"I am Roland. For now, we need to stick together to reach the City of Peace. I call it as Peace City. The new hope for survivors," Roland responded.
"I can't trust you, zombie. I and my family are not going with you," the man clothed like cowboy said to refuse what Roland offer.
"Mr. Stark, we need more people who are ready going with us. We need more help at this situation," Clara said disagreed with the man named Stark.
"I disagree about your wants, Clara! I can't trust him. He is a zombie with senses. He will prey us when loosing senses," Stark said sharp while staring at Clara.
"I will not force you, sir. But you will regret about your refusal. I am a zombie indeed but I still have senses to differentiate which one can be trusted or not," Roland said then leaving. "Come on. Don't waste your time."
But Clara chased Roland followed by Scott, Sheila, and Eric.
"Clara! You can't go just like that! I will really kill that zombie bastard!" Stark shouted while holding his gun to shoot Roland.
Suddenly Scott threw a rock to the man until his gun dropped.
"If you don't wanna go with us. Just stand up there! If you try to make problem with us, I will face you hard!" Scott said while pointing his finger to Stark. "You must know, he has saved us from zombies assault. We can reach Roderia cause of his help!"
After said that, Scott left to follow Roland and the others who have entered a truck that parked not so far from the abandoned restaurant.
Meanwhile Stark was massaging his hand which was in pain after hit by rock thrown by Scott.
"Fuck! They took my Clara! I will find you soon, zombie bastard!" he swore.
"Don't be so grudges, mr. Stark. Really I wanna leave you cause of your ego. I miss Lamian and the others," a blonde haired girl said while entering the abandoned restaurant.
Meanwhile Roland and the others have been at the truck which was driving heading to the west. The truck was driven by Scott.
"So, you are Clara? I am Sheila. Where were you living before?" Sheila said while staring at Clara that sit front of her.
Clara is a brown skinned girl with black curly hair. She wears a minidress colored white and red. Because her minidress bottom is too high, her underwear that too small shown.
"I am from Deer Racer Town. I was a student," Clara answered while trying to cover her underwear which shown.
"Don't cover it. Free yourself, Clara. I will undress myself when this wears aren't fit to be weared," Sheila said while smiling at Clara.
Meanwhile Eric who was trying to sleep, just listening what Sheila and Clara talked about.
Meanwhile Roland sat beside Scott while singing a song that weird to be heard.
"I am the madness. Coming from the darkness. We're always fighting for nevertheless..."
"This truck has low fuel. We have to find gas station," Scott said while looking at fuel indicator.
"I think new car is the best choice. This truck is uncomfort for us," Roland replied.
Several minutes later, the truck reached a gas station. But, the problem is the gas station has occupied by zombies.
"The zombies were the gas station visitors," Roland said while getting out from the truck cabin.
Then Roland fought those zombies using his ability. After finishing the fight, he looked for fuel that still remain at the gas station.
"There are no new car here," Scott said while checking the gas station.
"I have found a little amount of fuel. Maybe those zombies has drunk fuel from this gas station," Roland said while taking a jerry can contained fuel.
Suddenly a gunshot roared followed by the truck hit by projectiles.
"Oh, no! Sheila, Eric, Clara!" Scott shouted while approaching at the truck.
"Son of bitch! Who are they to try to attack survivors?" Roland said while activating his ability then running to the source of gunshots.
"Roland! No!" Scott shouted when seeing an attacker using an RPG to shoot Roland.
Too late. The RPG has launched an explosive rocket that blowing Roland out.
