58. Rescue

"We were attacked by zombies, sir!"

"What's? A zombie?"

Mr. Wiryo was very surprised to hear the narration of a child he met a few days ago in the forest. " What are you doing here? So you guys haven't come home yet? I thought you were just in the woods for a minute?" ask Mr. Wiryo. "that's why they are? They hurt?" asked Mr. Wiryo again while pointing at Apri and Hana who had been drenched in blood.

" The story is long, sir. We obviously need help now. If our friend cannot be saved as soon as possible, fearing that his condition will be worse than this," Rea explained as he looked at Mr. Wiryo expectantly.

"Yes already. Come to our village. Incidentally today there was a visit from Puskesmas to the village. Who knows, your friends could be saved. Later I will also ask for help to contact the ambulance," explained Mr. Wiryo.

"Thank you very much, sir!" leni is excited. Not only Leni but all of them are now very enthusiastic.

" wait a minute. I called my son first to bring this Mbak back to our village," pointed Mr. Wiryo at Apri who had fallen. "Radi! On! Here first! Please, this first!" his screams are somewhat hasty.

Not far from them appeared a young man who was about 25 years old. Mr. Wiryo and his son, Radi, are looking for firewood and grass for their livestock feed.

Radi who was holding celurit while cutting the grass, then rushed to put the sharp object into the belt on his body. The young man rushed closer to his father. Without asking any further, He immediately carried Apri's body behind his back.

Already understand the purpose and purpose of Mr. Wiryo who asked him to bring Apri. Radi immediately ran small towards the South Where their Village lay.

"Come, we're going."

"But, Mr ...." Rea started to hesitate and now continued to look back.

"What's wrong?"

"Our friends are still left behind."

"Oh yes, right too. Not that yesterday you had 9 people. Where the rest of you go? How can I be left behind? So who is this, this little boy?"

"The story is long, sir. This is Riri, one of the survivors from the village next door. And our friend's friend is fighting the man who killed the villagers Riri lives in. I was worried, something happened to them" Rea said as he looked back. Hope that Dana and the others show up soon.

"All right then. We go back to the village first, later I will ask for help to other residents to find your friends. Come on, I'm sure you guys haven't eaten and rested. Don't let you all get sick before you go home."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Wiryo is a very considerate and kind person. He seemed very worried about them, and really wanted to help. Finally Rea and the others followed Wiryo to return to the village. Moreover, if they have to look for Dana and others are afraid that until they do not meet, or worse if they meet, whether they can face Jaka who does have a deviant personality. Of course it was no longer the realm of Rea, and her friends. They need help from others. 

It did not take long to get to the village where Mr. Wiryo lived. It was morning when they reached the village. The atmosphere of the village certainly looks crowded with various activities of villagers. Moreover, they are now in the market which is located close to the village gate. Various activities are now enlivening the atmosphere. Until the moment they came, Rea and his friends were a bit shy. Especially with their messy appearance. 

"Come, here," take Mr. Wiryo and bring them to a pretty big house. There are some people who wear the typical service clothes of the village employees. Added to the presence of a car parked nearby, makes them sure that they are really in the actual human civilization, not a place where events at night can turn 180 degrees. "Sit down first. Oh yes, who else is injured, can be directly treated by health workers inside," said Mr. Wiryo with a systematic movement. 

Rea and his friends looked at each other, then examined each other's bodies to make sure they were okay. Not much to say just their gazes implying a lot of things. "We're fine, sir," Rea replied confidently. 

"Thank God then. Your friends are being treated inside. Fortunately there is a doctor who can handle the stab wound earlier, so you do not need to worry. Then we're getting people ready to find your other friends. So you don't worry about them. You better get some rest. If you want to take a shower please have a bathroom in the back," explained Mr. Wiryo. 

"Yes, Sir. Thank you," Rea said as she lowered her head. 

Mr. Wiryo then left the place with several men. They're looking for Dana, Hani, and Blendoz. But Rea and others have told us in advance what they have experienced over the past few days, especially about the incident in the village of Tabuk Hilir. The villagers who turned into creepy at sunset, then Jaka who was the cause of the destruction of the village. The problem is certainly not easy to overcome. The first thing they will do is find Dana, Hani, and Blendoz first. Because they're hostages that should be a rescue priority. 

Even the police had been contacted and it did not take long, several police cars had come, along with the rescue squad, as well as special Datasemen or commonly called elite troops. Indonesia has an elite army that is respected by the world. The elite force consists of soldiers of the Republic of Indonesia Army (TNI) of choice who are members of several special squads.There are six special squads coming from three matra, Army, Navy, and Air Force, and, the world's respected. The KOPASUS squad is deployed for the mission this time.

The Special Forces Command, abbreviated as Kopassus, is part of the main combat Command owned by . has special capabilities such as moving quickly on every terrain, shooting precisely, reconnaissance, and anti-terror. The tasks of Kopassus Military Operations War (OMP) include Direct Action direct attacks to destroy enemy logistics, Combat SAR, Anti Terror, Advance Combat Intelligence (Special Intelligence Operations). In addition, the Kopasus Duty of Military Operations In addition to War (OMSP) includes Humanitarian Assistance (humanitarian assistance), AIRSO (anti-insurjence operations, separatism and rebellion), assistance to the police/government, and, Special SAR and VVIP Security.

Soldiers can be easily recognized by the red they bear, so this team is often referred to as the red beret team. Kopassus has the motto "Bold, True, Successful". 

Rea, Ita, Leni, Diah and Riri began to feel relieved. They felt completely safe this time. While waiting for Hana and Apri to be treated, they took turns bathing. Since coming to the Land of Borneo, they began not to think of cleanliness like bathing. Even for the toilet business, they have to find the right place so as not to damage nature by throwing dirt carelessly. 

After bathing they also feel comfortable with a clean body. "the water is very fresh, yes. The water in the house is losing!" said Leni.

"Yes, really. seger. The body is also good. Not cold."

"Maybe the water is from pure springs, so it's still fresh gini."

Such was their chatter while drying wet hair after shampooing earlier. Riri started to blend in with the surrounding. The small children in the village are quite similar to Riri. So that only the count of Jam Saja Riri directly has friends.

Rea and her friends were happy to see Riri now smiling. Even after taking a bath, Riri became a different look from before. The little girl became cleaner and fresher, coupled with the joy of her face that had been very long invisible. Rea is relieved because Riri can finally be happy, and can play with his peers. Suddenly Riri ran up to Rea. With a happy looking face she looked at Rea expectantly.

"Sir Rea, can Riri ask for something?" ask the little girl timidly.

"Ask what, Riri?"

"Riri doesn't want to go to town. If only Riri wanted to stay here. Moreover, this village is close to the same Village Riri lived first. So if Riri misses home, Riri can go there later."

Rea did not directly answer Riri's question. There are many things to consider before agreeing to the little girl's request. First and foremost, is where Riri will stay later.

"Can't you, brother?" asked Riri who immediately said that when Rea did not give a response.

" no. It can't be. But Brother Rea is thinking, if Riri wants to stay here Riri will sleep where. Is there anyone who wants to take care of Riri? Rea did not mind at all. It's just that Brother thought of your life later if we leave it here."

Rea's words have a point. Leaving Riri in the village was not an easy matter. If you live in the village then Riri will not only stay 1 day or 2 days, but for eternity. And who will bear Riri's life in the future.

Riri looked disappointed, but she understood the meaning of Rea's words. So the little girl did not protest at all. Instead, he went back to playing with his other friends. Forgetting her words just now, and obeying Rea's words.

Especially about the purpose of Riri living in the village, which is close to the village where he used to live. Rea feels insecure if Riri has to return to that horrible village. Although now being deployed special forces to eradicate the undead who still exist in the village where Riri lived, but I still do not agree if Riri had to roam again in that place. Many dangerous things may happen later. Especially if Riri came to the village alone.

Rea's daydream was caved in when a boisterous sound rang out outside. They all got up from sitting and seeing what was going on out there. The people who were looking for the whereabouts of funds and the others had already returned. Rea searches for the whereabouts of his friends but has not yet been found. Until finally Reni exclaimed while pointing towards the back of the special forces troupe that had just arrived.

"That's them!" exclaim Leni.

After careful attention it is true that it is their friends. Everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief now. If you look closely at the condition of Dana, Hani, and Blendoz look chaotic. Their bodies were dirty full of mud.

"Thank God you could meet! hows it? You guys are okay, right?" rea asked as she watched them one by one.

"We are good. Fortunately help was coming soon, so we're safe."

"Where did Jaka go?" ask Diah curious.

"He .. died. Got shot when I ran away."

"Seriously? Holy hooch! The devil died too!"

"But ... Not only that. There are 1 more people you haven't seen yet" Dana said. He looked back and followed by other friends.

"Fauzan?!" scream them together.

" how could Fauzan come here too?"

" yes, just after we returned, suddenly Fauzan stood in the forbidden forest. I told the police that Fauzan is dangerous. But strangely since he was discovered until now, there was no strange and dangerous action that Fauzan did. We feel bad, afraid that what we say is considered lying and making things up."

Rea and the others finally looked at Fauzan who was walking casually flanked by several people in special uniforms. From what Fauzan saw it looked calmer. He's not like the last Fauzan they found. Even Rea felt that the Fauzan they were looking at right now was Fauzan who had been their friend.
