The five of them were looking for a place to hide. They decided to climb up into the trees and hide behind the tree branches. They climb on the same tree.
"How's Lian?" ask Yusa.
"They're coming. In a moment" he said.
Shortly after, they saw three people below them. The three people were also cautious and peeked out from behind the bushes. When the three men were convinced that there was no one, they started to come out of the bushes and inspect Gin's tent and comrades.
"Ba, ba like ka"
"Ka baba ku"
"Baba Bibu"
They started talking between them.
Gin and the others were instantly shocked. "What language is that?" they scream in their hearts simultaneously.
When seen again, the three of them had a strange appearance. They wear clothes made of leaves, and only cover their chest and genital parts. Then they did not wear shoes and carried spears made of wood and stone. Their appearance reminded Gin of the primitive man he had learned in history lessons. As for the others, those three people were just strange people.
"Are we attacking?" whispered Li Seng. In his eyes the three freaks did not look strong at all.
"Wait a minute" said Yusa. He wanted to observe all three. Instantly he remembered his teacher's saying that in some areas of the red zone, there were some strange living creatures. Unidentified by the state. Maybe all three are those creatures. So he wanted to observe her further.
The three freaks began to inspect their tents one by one. Then the three began to take all the items they saw and put them in a large sack. They also took meat soup along with a large pot. After making sure that they took everything, they left the place.
"Look, aren't they just thieves?" li Seng said unhappily.
"Let's follow them" said Yusa.
So the five of them started following the three freaks by jumping over the trees. They stopped at a village. The village has a bamboo fence that surrounds the entire village. The houses built there are still roofed with straw and wooden walls. The three arrived in front of the village, then the two guards in front of the gate opened the door and let them in.
"What the fuck?" li Seng said in shock. It was only the first time he had seen such an environment. It looks very dirty and dirty. He was even sure these people did not use bath soap because he could see that their bodies were full of dirt.
"It turns out there is a village like this" muttered Lian in shock.
"Let's report to the academy that we found a human village in this red zone" Sima said.
"Wait a minute" Yusa stopped him. "We should investigate it" he said with an enthusiastic look.
"Anu, Yusa" Li Seng said doubtfully. "Did you remember that teacher Yu Fei told us to report and run away?" said.
"Are you scared?" Yusa looked at Li Seng. "You see, they're not even cultivators. We need not be afraid. Now think of a way how to infiltrate inside without being discovered" he said.
"..." - ".No one responded.
Yusa prepared to sneak inside, but Gin suddenly said. "I'm coming with you"
Li Seng gasped at the always indifferent Gin who was suddenly interested in doing something.
Gin did not know why he wanted to enter the village. He assumed that this was just ordinary curiosity. Because this was the first time he had seen a primitive human village. Moreover, Gin suddenly remembered the three black robes he had met at the cafe. They say something about primitive man. Maybe they mean this village.
Yusa laughed and hit Gin on the shoulder. "Very good" he said. "I didn't know that you had the same interest as me"
Then the two began to jump quickly onto the thatched roof of the village. They try not to make a sound. The two gate guards were unaware of their steps at all. They even look sleepy on guard because Gin can see them yawning repeatedly.
The village was completely deserted. They had only seen three men so far around the village. They decided to take a peek at one of the houses in the village. At that moment they saw someone lying on the bed. The figure was a middle-aged woman and her body was filled with redness and her skin blistered. Looks like he's sick.
There was only one person in the house, so they decided to check out the other house. They found a teenage girl lying in bed. The girl also had a reddish body and blistering wounds on her skin. They check other homes and every home has someone with the same symptoms.
"It's a pandemic" Yusa said.
Gin nodded small.
They can conclude that only women are affected by this disease. While the men are fine. They had previously seen a healthy five-year-old boy who slept next to his sick mother.
This pandemic looks like a contagious skin disease among women only. Because they do not see men infected with this disease. They felt sympathy for the women who fell ill.
It just so happened that they found two men standing guard behind the village. They immediately beat the two men unconscious. Then take their leaf clothes to disguise. Not to forget they wore straw hats and also drew their faces with mud so that their figures were difficult to recognize.
"I hope I find a clean river here" Yusa complained. He wanted to take a shower after his investigation was over.
"Did you bring soap?" ask Gin plain.
"..." - ".Yusa fell silent. He didn't bring soap! Soap is the most important thing at a time like this.
"I take it, I'll lend it to you later" Gin said later.
Yusa looked at Gin with sparkling eyes. "Thank you" he said.
Then the two began to enter the village and tried to blend in. It happened to be in the village hall, they saw a group of people. There were five people and it seemed like they were swarming around something. Soon, one by one the villagers came out of their houses and joined the crowd. So the two of them also approached the crowd at the village hall.
They could see there was a woman lying on a wooden mattress. Then there was an old man standing behind the woman. The man wore a hat from animal horns as well as accessories made from animal teeth. Her appearance is very strange.
"The "head of the village" the entire population suddenly knelt down and worshipped.
Yusa reacts quickly and encourages Gin to kneel down. So they blend in without arousing any suspicion.
