Funny Zombie Island Arc Act 1 Branch Biting Zombie

Glympse of soft light knocking into my vision and waking me from my slumber. Slumber of good-good night sleep. And as usual in front of me can be seen a cracked ceiling with small radiant of morning light emerge from it. Then I turn my head sideways to confirm my pal's existence.

Still, right there, the golden silk-like hair and a cat-like sleeping face with a little bit buffed arm that used for a pillow. I decide to let it that way for a while, then I rise my body. And while watching to the window I think to myself, whaa . . . "WHAAATT THE HELL IS THAT!!!!".

"What?? oh, you already wake up Rita? Why are you always yelling every morning?!"

Oh, it's just Jamal. He really shook me to the bone every morning. Jamal the fat zombie who stuck between our neighbor building and our home, right in the alley. But, even though I call it neighbor there is no one else other than us. Just me and Joe, my childhood friend.

It's been 26 days since our first day stuck on this island. An isolated island with zero inhabitants other than us and zombies. No vehicle, no store, no television, and the worse of all is no internet. Not even a bar of internet signal can be found, it's really isolated from the outside world.

But there is one stuff that can connect us to the outside. It's a radio on the small hut at the beach.

"Joe, is it the time yet?"

"Hmm, let see. 10.00 am, is it? Yeah, it's the time to go"

Criittt . . .

Behind the opened door we step while holding an ax in our hand. It's a nice beautiful morning like always. As we walk, we meet many trees of different names at the side of our footpath road.

"Morning Hansy, how do you do today? Oh, it's Karla right there too! Are you two planning to hang out today?"

"Rrrgghh rrrghh!!"

Slowly mumbling, Hansy and Karla move in very slow motion from the roadside.

"Hey! Stop naming the zombie, it's chilling my bone somehow. Besides they not gonna hear you or answer you anyways"

"No, I not gonna stop. I think it's important! Because before they become zombies they are also humans too, you know! Instead, you better do it too Joe!"

"Jezz, do what you like. But don't include me in it!"

Like always, Joe is always so cold. But that is also the part I like about Joe.

A sharp yet cool Joe, even when there only us a human here. The way Joe see and observe thing really makes me feel safe somehow. But still, I think about naming the zombie we know harmless is important.

I mean you see that there are many stories about a person going crazy when found himself alone on an isolated island right! So for precaution, I decided to name the harmless zombies we found for our mental health.

Also about the zombies here is a bit different from zombies on the mainland. There are many variant behaviors that the zombies show here. For example, Jamal that stuck between two buildings at our place. He is kind of a passive behavior zombie. Showing no interest in human flesh, no sign of movement, yet still breathing really hard for no reason. Give me creep every morning!

But besides passive behavior zombies, like Jamal, there is also an aggressive one too. And that is the reason we bring the ax in our hands.

Our place locates a little bit far from the beach, which is around a half-hour to get there. And every day first in the morning we go there to check the news on the radio. Like today, it's our first objective too.

As we walk slowly to the beach the scent of salty wind can be smelled of blowing. The shore today is low tide and the wind is not really strong. What a peaceful day.

But as we arrive at the hut, something wrong can be felt as we approach.

"THE HELL IS THAT?!"

Joe yell when watched the margin part of the hut as I was amazed at it.

" . . . it's a zombie! uwooaaaah!!!"

"Watch out Rita! We don't know what it will do in surprise!"

As I approach slowly from the side, can be seen that zombie is eagerly biting the margin of the little square hut which is built from four big tree branch as it margin prop. With a little bit anger eyes, the zombie chewing that branch margin with its rotten teeth.

"hmm . . . weird isn't it, does it one of the aggressive zombies?"

"who knows!? Maybe it's just want to do the chew, but could only find the hut on the scene!?"

Aggressive zombie has one characteristic that always sticks to them, it's the interest of human blood. Whenever an aggressive zombie smells human blood, they will eventually run to chase it. But the interest in chasing blood is only applied to human blood. Which is until now there is no case that can be found about animals getting killed or turned into zombies.

So if that is the case, just for the insurance of our safety I take a small knife from my pocket and cut the tip of my pinky.

"ouch!"

"HEY!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING!!"

Joe looks shockingly anger at my action, but I keep continue and stretch my hand to that zombie's nose.

. . . no response at all?

"STOP IT AT ONCE, JUST WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING RITA?!!"

"maybe it's because of the smell of salty ocean wind?"

"JUST STOP IT AND COME HERE!!"

See Joe so worry about it, make me can bear it. So I leave the zombie and comeback to where Joe standing with a 'muuhh . . .' voice.

"Just why did you do that! So, how is the response?"

"negatiiiive!"

"huaahh . . ., what a relief"

Joe is calm again, that's a relief for me rather than when seeing her angry.

"Hey Rita, just don't do something risk able like that again ok!~"

Hmm . . . She is worried about me. What a cute Joe!

"Hmm . . ., so you worried about me, yah?"

"Wha . . !? Don't get full of yourself, I'm just worried to have to do all stuff alone!"

"Hmm . . ., what an unhonest one!"

"Hm!!"

Joe look pissed while crossing her arms.

And then something happened, the eager branch-biting zombie suddenly stop his stuff and stood lifelessly while glaring at the sea.

"eh ... eh ... what happens? Why is it suddenly stop?!! Joe, why is it suddenly stop?!!"

"Don't ask me, how could I know! By the way, why are you suddenly getting scared now after did that bleeding dare testing stuff earlier?"

"I don't know, it just creeps me out!!"

"Jezz, anyway let's check it out closer"

"What?! ughhh . . . ok"

Skully we walking closer by the side of the zombie, but as closer, we come to the zombie continue to ignore us and keep glaring to the sea like seeing something coming.

Then after e few second of glaring the zombie make a move. Leaving the margin he bites, the zombie moves to another one. Leaving a big crack on that margin prop as he walks.

"Wait a minute! That zombie wasn't biting un-purposely, isn't it?! It bites the prop to collapse the hut, isn't it!!"

"HAH . . .?!! it can't be let!!!"

Rashly Joe runs to the zombie and strongly swings her ax to its neck. But something odd happens, the zombie releases its bite on the prop and weirdly avoids Joe's swing by falling backward on half of its body.

"Whaaat?!!"

"Wow, it's avoiding you so well Joe!"

"Urgh!! Like I gonna lose you son of a . . ."

Swung!! Swung!! Swung!!

But no matter how much Joe strikes it, the zombie keeps avoiding it smoothly without fail.

"Kyaa!!! It's too much - it's too much, I can't bear it, too creepy!"

So said Joe while rushing back to me. And then in that time of panic, the radio suddenly noising

"Bzzztt!! Bzzzttt!! Condition in Jember City now is very risky, upon the fall of Argante Tower Square Town it's predicted to be thousand life is gone. Also, the dismissal of the Zombies Hunter Association, rise public panic in the downtown. Let's hope there is still a ray of light falling upon us, from Palmen City we report! Bzztt!! Bzztt!!"

And as the radio noise is gone the branch-biting zombie also stopped and walked away somewhere. But that's not the end of the story, right after the zombie is gone we realize that the branch that the zombie chew is leaving a big hole in the middle. And by that, the hut suddenly broke down while bringing all stuff inside shattered with it including the radio.

So that was the last broadcast we can hear from the mainland. Broadcast about the fall of Argante Tower Square Town and the Dismissal of Zombie Hunter Association. But we realize that we still have the day to go, so we decide to throw that stuff away and take a step away to the unknown tomorrow.

"Ughhh . . . what a beautiful day, isn't it!"

So murmured Joe while taking her ax and taking her to leave together with me.
