53. escape from the undead
"Hey ... People want to do what" whispered Hana as she peeked at the window.
Automatically they all come in unison close to the window. They were curious about what Hana was seeing. Especially after hearing the story of Riri just now, making them more anxious about their current condition.
"Hide away!" dana's Order.
"Light off!"
Silent. All of them in the house were trying not to make any sound at all. They're really scared.
Outside all the villagers gathered. They seem to have a special clock for the event that will be every night. Things like this have often been seen before. And so he was not surprised.
"We need to hide!" said Riri.
" hidden? What's the matter, Ri?"
" every night they will gather with their original form. And what's even worse is that they're looking for humans to fall like them."
"Buffin?"
"Yes. They already know that you are in this village. So tonight you're gonna be hunted. We better get out of here before they come! Come on, come with me!" bring Riri.
The little girl immediately walked to the back of the house. Automatic group Dana also tailed to Riri. Earlier just in case, Dana and Blendoz put a chair and table behind the door. So that if these people enter the house, they will immediately find out, as well as ways that they can hold people outside to enter. Even if it won't last long.
Riri continued to walk inside, until he reached the kitchen of the house. The kitchen is the same as before. Dark and stuffy too. Only this time they were crowded in the place. So that the atmosphere is not too gripping as before. With ease, Riri walked in and headed straight for the bathroom. They were all confused by Riri's behavior.
"Ri, where are you going?" ask Ita while holding the little girl's hand.
"So don't follow me. We're gonna get out of here on a secret path" he said casually.
While on the terrace of the house, the atmosphere outside already sounded crowded. The windows and doors were violently pounded. This made those inside the house panic.
"Ri! How's it?" asked Apri who was very worried.
Riri just looked over without answering anything. She kept walking and now started to go inside the bathroom. The condition of the bathroom is already very concerning. The building is made of wood that has begun to be obsolete. Riri then shifted the bucket that was in the middle. Then she pushed the bathroom wall slowly.
They were all shocked to see a way out of the place. "Come on!" bring Riri.
The little girl entered first, then followed by another group. One by one they entered the dark hallway inside the bathroom. Although initially hesitant but at least they have hope to get out of the place.
That Dark Aisle had an invisible end. It's just that the cracks from the top of the passageway could be the entrance gap of moonlight. Luckily the rain had stopped. They need not fear the rain anymore.
As soon as they came out and went back on their way to leave the place, the sound of growls and shouts coming from Riri Village was heard clearly. They even had time to turn to make sure if no one followed their blurry actions.
"Ri, which forest is this?" rea asked while observing around.
"This is the forest I've been hiding in all this time, brother. I usually go in and out of the village through that house. If it was daytime they wouldn't be as aggressive now. I often go to the village. Moreover, their faces are not creepy during the day," explained Riri.
The forest is not like a forest where they once got lost the other day. The forest where Fauzan is now. The forest now looks more diverse. There were flowers blooming all around them. In addition there are also guava trees, mangoes, bananas, rambutan leaves that stand firmly apart from each other.
"You've been eating fruits all this time?" ask Diah.
"Yes, Brother. Sometimes I eat boiled corn, or cassava that I grow myself."
"Where are you staying?"
"That's there," pointed Riri to a dark corner of the forest.
"Come, hurry!" Riri walked faster. Sometimes they look back to make sure that no one is following them right now.
Finally they reached Riri's residence all this time. They were slightly stunned when they saw that there was a small hut, where that place was Riri's residence for the past few months. Unimaginable. How could the little boy live alone in the forest. He built the place himself. Riri not only built a place for her to sleep, but she also decorated the courtyard around to be more beautiful and beautiful. He planted some roses. There is always a tall garden. There is also a corn garden that is ready for harvest. Riri actually survived alone in her own way. They all felt sorry to see what happened to the little girl.
"Sit down first. I got boiled corn. It still seems warm. Because I just cooked it." Riri still had time to serve them by offering boiled corn that he had cooked before.
The temptation of real food is in sight. Even if they were still quite disgusted by the maggot food they had eaten before, not making the boiled corn was not tasty to eat. All take their own rations.
"Ri, did you cook this much corn?" ask Leni wonder.
"Yes. I know you must be starving. So I prepared this meal. Sorry, it's just corn stew."
"Good, Riri! thank you very much. It's more than enough. Thankfully there are you. If not, we do not know what happened to us earlier."
" but we better not linger here. I'm sure they'll be looking for you. Because they haven't found a human being in a long time."
" What are they going to do to us?"
" of course make you a victim. Jaka sir he's coming here. Every time a human is caught by them, Mr. Jaka will come back here."
"Oh yeah? That's grisly. We're almost a collision, guys."
