The Annoying Hero

The Annoying Hero
Chapter 3


Slluurr...


Zuro sipped the fresh coconut water he managed to break with his hard fist. He sipped the water until it was gone. With a feeling of wonder, Zuro observed the white flesh attached to the inside of the coconut fruit.


"Hey monkey, is this edible?" Zuro asked the monkey in the tree.


"Oo.oo..A.aa.." Answer the monkey with a grin showing a row of tiny teeth.


"I take it as an answer YES" Zuro said excitedly.


Zuro patiently peeled the coconut meat with his own hands. Without hesitation he ate and chewed the meat. A knotty smile was now engraved on his calm face.


"Wow, this is so good!" He said and then he finished the coconut meat in an instant.


"Huh, it seems like I need to get on with my journey immediately" he muttered softly.


With lightning, Zuro jumped from the top of the tree and landed smoothly on the sand. Without any scars, Zuro quickly walked eastward to continue his journey. Not to forget he had used a singlet that he had previously thrown in any direction when going swimming.


From a direction far enough away, Zuro saw the silhouette of a hill that was still very beautiful and filled with trees. He wanted to go there and try to research what he could find in the forest there.


It only took an hour, now Zuro has arrived at the hill. From the beginning of the climb until he reached the top of the hill that is not too high, there is no animal that he met. Silent and silent without the voices that accompany his journey. He sat on a large tree branch and tried to observe a scene he had never seen before.


From a direction not too far away, Zuro faintly saw a large iron object that could walk on its own. He was curious and wanted to get close to this thing. Zuro wants to take the iron object to be his friend, he does not want to be lonely anymore.


(Other acquisitions)


A middle-aged man walked gallantly towards the garage. A white coat and a neat shirt perfectly wrapped his strapping body. Not to forget the minus glasses have been perched sweetly at the base of his nose which is sharp like a playground slide.


"Mbok, I'm leaving. If the homework is done, the mbok can go home and do not forget the key of this house so that no burglar enters" he said to an old woman in shabby clothes.


"Ready professor Marveliz" replied the old woman.


Yes, the name of the man in the white coat was Professor Marveliz. He lives in the city of Metrokeza in the country of Mazuya. The city is quite large with the hustle and bustle of its population, which is mostly nomads who deliberately complain about the city.


His outstretched hand tries to open the car door and intends to go somewhere he considers important. It is gas-fired at medium speed. He does not wear seatbel, he always feels uncomfortable when using it. So tight and felt hugging his body.


"Search begins!" Mumbled slowly.


Professor Marveliz wanted to go to a remote hill at the end of the city in search of a rare plant that he could make into his experiment. The place is far enough. It takes about 2 hours to reach the location of the hill.


By increasing the speed of the car he drives, maybe he will get to his destination faster. The path to the hill is quiet and very rarely passed by motorists or cars. Many rumors circulated that the hill was haunted and many poisonous plants growing there. This did not scare Professor Marveliz at all, instead he was more eager to explore the place. He was curious about the poisonous plants that were there. He wanted to take some samples to create a deadly poison that could be used to incapacitate the enemy.


From the windshield of the car, the dangerous hill was already visible to both pairs of eyes belonging to professor Marveliz. He increased his speed and by the time it was almost there, his car stopped suddenly.


Ciiittt...


Professor Marveliz stepped on the brakes suddenly because something required him to stop.


SAZURO POV


"I have to get there!" I said as I came down from the tree and intended to approach the iron object. Running as fast as lightning, I descended this hill without ignoring some rocks and twigs piercing the pain of my feet. It doesn't feel like a few more steps I'll get right in front of the iron object. I'll increase my speed.


"Bydavis.." I cried out a little in pain as a thorny plant stuck together and stabbed my arm unintentionally. But still I ignored, I continued to run regardless of the blood flowing from my incision wound.


Bruukkkc...


I landed smoothly as I tried to jump onto the asphalt road which made the pebbles stuck to the soles of my feet become deeper and deeper into the skin. It hurt a little, and about my arm, the sharp thorny plant was still sticking and making blood rush from my arm.


Ciiittt...


The sound of this iron thing sounded so bad in my ears. And in an instant it stopped and almost hit my body. I was still unmoved, then the eyes of this iron object stopped emitting light.


A few seconds later, from beside this iron object appeared a man who had two-layer eyes. He looked at me with an intense look. What has this iron thing done to get a man out of his stomach? Does this iron eat it? If so, I wouldn't be friends with him! He turned out to be evil.


"Hey boy, why are you there? Why don't you just get out of my way?!" Said the ply-eyed man.


"Whatchu mean? It is precisely I who should ask, why can you be in the stomach of this iron object? Were you eaten whole by him?!" I said firmly by pointing towards the iron object in front of me.


The man walked up to me "Good, don't you know, it's a car and it's like this how to use it!" Reply firmly.


"Is that so? So, you didn't eat this iron thing?" Ask wonder.


"Of course not. And hey, why do your hands bleed like that?"


"This?" I looked at my wound "I was running and accidentally this plant hurt me"


"Then, why don't you die?"


I frowned "What do you mean?"


"The plant that sticks to your hand has a very poisonous thorn. And let's see, there's a thorn that sticks really deep in your wound"


"Do you think I should die now?"


This man holds both of my shoulders "You know, if the thorn sticks to the skin and if the poison has been mixed with your bloodstream, then in a moment you can die?"


"But I don't feel anything" I said astonished at my situation.


“Where did you find this plant?”


“In sana” I pointed south “From the large bush and there are many duri”.
