Zombie City: Dead or Life
20. Preparation and Choice

*Haqqul POV*

Sfx:More... Sraaakkp... Klekk..! Cringg...

I was in the armory of the Andhika family, and was sorting out some katanas that would be used to cut down the undead out there.

"Like this is very sharp and also not easily broken, I'm sure great uncle has a katana with the most high-quality material.." murmured me inwardly while observing the pattern and eyes of the katana.

"But... Here all I see is a katana, I think I have to take another storehouse.." I thought in my heart that then sheathed the katana I observed earlier, then carried it on my left waist.

Sfx:Seekk...! Arakk!

Suddenly the door slid and two women fell into the barn, and annisa and Sari peeked out of the door.

"Dark... Be ill... Yeah." said Annisa who was in a bit of pain.

"Sister... Pain did it fall?" the tympanic sari that fell on Annisa's body with her innocent face.

Sari then came down from the body of Annisa and sat on the floor, annisa tried to sit and stroke her forehead which was a bit bumpy.

"You two are okay? Is anyone hurt?" I said that I approached them and helped them.

"Yes I'm fine, haqqul"

"Sir haqqul, sister Anisa asked the great uncle, where the brother and his end up here" said sari innocently his.

"So yes, sari" I said briefly and then carrying the sari with a flat face.

"Other times be careful, annisa" I continued as I reached out.

"Emmm... Yes well." said Annisa who received my advice and tried to stand up.

I took annisa and sari to clean some wooden boxes and cardboard boxes, sari kuturan and annisa began to help clean up and sari also helped compose a small wooden box.

"What does sari not weight help too?" ask Annisa by arranging the cardboard neatly.

"No, sister, I want to help kak haqqul and kak annisa" replied Sari with a plain smile.

"Thank you, sari" said I who stroked the sari's head while showing an eye smile.

*POV*Annisa*

Kutata neatly all the cardboard, then accidentally I saw the smile of the eyes of the haqqul by stroking the head of the sari who was smiling innocently.

My heart was pounding, seeing the smile her eyes made my cheeks flushed a little. I never saw Haqqul smile like that before, his usual cold face and flat but cool, but why the current one I see himself is so warm.

I was a little nervous and awkward when haqqul saw me and also sari, because nervous I glanced in the other direction. Without me noticing the haqqul standing in front of me and holding my left cheek gently, then staring rather anxiously.

"Are you sick, my dear?" ask haqqul.

"T-no... How come! I-I'm fine!" I answered a bit nervously.

Suddenly slowly...

"Muaachi..."

A kiss landed on my forehead gently and greeted her warm smile.

"Alright, we get this all sorted out and then go back to friends" said Haqqul who then returned to cleaning up the scattered items.

While the sari is still busy arranging small tool boxes in its place.

After being kissed, I felt more and more pounding and kept thinking about it, but I almost forgot to arrange the cardboard, then continued to tidy it up together.

10 Minutes Later...

Sfx:Srekc... Srak.. Tep..

"Fiiuh... The end is finished too" I said as I spread my hands up because my shoulders were a little sore.

"Annisa, carrying sari. I will bring this equipment" said Haqqul.

"Yes haqqul" I said.

I carried a sari and haqqul carrying some katanas, then the three of us walked back to his gathered room of friends.

Upon arriving in the room and seeing friends, it seemed they were getting ready all to continue the journey.

"Haqqul, have you taken the katana?" andhika.

"Of course" answered haqqul briefly and put all the katanas brought to the table.

The great uncle called out to his subordinates and whispered, then the person in black clothes nodded his head and left the room.

"What did the great uncle whisper to that man" I asked slowly to marsha and vika.

But marsha and vika shook their heads not knowing.

"Prepare your plans! Uncle only gave a little equipment to survive the emergency situation later" said the great uncle and aunt yukima smiling to all of us.

"Thank you great uncle! We will fight!" zidan said with a feisty smile.

"Hahaha!!! I love your spirit it's young man!!" sahut great uncle who laughed and joined in smiling excitedly, seen in these two people appeared a blazing fire aura.

"All right, let's put together the plan first" said Haqqul flatly.

"Ok" answered okta and marsha simultaneously.

Me and Vika just nodded, while kamiya just smiled kindly.

"So how are our plans going?" ask kelvin to the others.

Zidan came together and discussed his next plan.

Grand uncle and aunt yukima then left the room to give us some time for discussion.

*Kelvin POV*

"How many more houses should we check?" ask andhika.

"Only my house and haqqul are left that have not been visited" I said.

"So after going to the house of Haqqul, we will go check on the state of my house. Then after we finish checking it out, we'll go back to school. Because I'm a little worried, I'm not sure help will come after seeing this kind of situation" connect me with a long explanation.

"Like it is.. The path to school is fast, but I don't know the way in the area of kelvin's house" haqqul said.

"Sir kamiya may know, haqqul" said zidan.

"Yes leave it to me, the shortcut problem will be finished in my hands" said kamiya with a friendly smile.

"Waaah.. Kamiya's sister is great." said Okta with admiration.

"But what's enough, the time we have?" timpal vika with thought.

"We need to act fast" Marsha said.

"Yes, right what marsha said, our time is not much" said Annisa who came to think.

All were silent and thought, how to speed it up again, so that time is not wasted.

"I know a very short cut to school, but I'm not sure I can get through it in this situation" said Kamiya, who had the idea and explained it.

"What do you mean you're not sure about passing her?" my timpal who was a bit curious then glanced at kamiya with a still thinking pose.

"Because that shortcut is the market" replied Kamiya seriously.

"Markets?" sahut vika and marsha who do not understand the meaning of kakamiya.

"Why the market?"

"Yes, market. In the back block of the kelvin house, there is a large field and farmland.if we pass through it, we will find a market there. But one thing I'm worried about, is if the initial time of the disaster the market is crowded. You know what I mean, don't you?" kamiya explained.

"Many zombies roam there." said Haqqul coldly and flatly.

Marsha, vika, okta and annisa are stunned and somewhat scared, while sari is scared while hugging annisa tightly.

"That's not all. They can hide in various places in the market. And also...., is the farmland safe to pass? As far as I know, the owner of the farm employed a lot of farmers on the farm" Kelvin seriously thought.

We all fell silent again and thought, suddenly the sound of the door opening to break the silence in the room.

Sfx:Tock.. Geck.. Chequek..! Blam it!

A black-clothed subordinate entered the room and gave two silver suitcases to andhika.

"This andhika master is from your father, the great lord gave this for an emergency on the way" the person said.

"All right, thank you"

"Then, excuse me, Mr. Andhika" said the man in black and walked out of the room.

"What is andhika?" said the curious zidan.

"Either.. I'll open it"

Everyone seemed curious about the contents in the suitcase, except haqqul and kak kamiya.

Andhika opened the suitcase and smiled cynically.

"Like it would be easy to pass the shortcut route earlier"

"Waaah.. Pistol.." said zidan who was amazed by his twinkling eyes.

"Pistol yes.. Like it's lacking" timpal kelvin thought.

Annisa, marsha, and Vika only observe the gun.

"Can we wear it...?" marsha asked in a somewhat confused manner.

"Yes.. We're women, where we might be able to use firearms." chimpal vika who is also confused.

"What's the trouble? Just shoot.. Dor.." said annisa lightly.

"It's not that easy for beginners like you." said Haqqul flatly and coldly.

"So... How's the way?" ask octa innocently.

"Later I explain the travel time, all the practice of shooting" said Andhika.

"Now we better get ready to leave, we have not much time" said kak kamiya.

We nodded at the sign of understanding then packed up the goods and got ready.

30 Minutes later....

Sfx:Simplek..! Krieeeit....

The voice of great uncle and aunt yukima who opened the door was about to enter to meet us.

"Hey kids, are you all ready?" ask auntie yukima gently.

"It's over!" say us simultaneously.

"I will share weapons suitable for you" said Haqqul.

Andhika just nodded and gave her two silver suitcases to the haqqul.

Haqqul opened the two suitcases, then gave the same gun to the vika and marsha.

Vika and Marsha also received the gun, but still confused by the way it was used.

"You two gave me the FN 57 pistol with a caliber of 5.7 mm and also 30 rounds of ammunition, use it as best as possible in an emergency situation, and here's the holster" Haqqul continued.

"Alright haqqul" answered the marsha.

"Ready" timpal vika.

Vika and Marsha sheathed her pistol with a holster worn around her waist, then stored the ammunition into their respective bags.

Haqqul then gave two pistols to Annisa, the SIG P250. Annisa received the two pistols and her holster, as well as 40 rounds of ammunition.

"I think it suits you, using a dual SIG P250. I'll teach you how to use it later" said Haqqul, staring at Annisa with a warm smile.

"Thank you... Haqqul.." answered annisa nervously.

Haqqul just nodded and marsha, vika and I felt astonished seeing her nervous annisa.

Haqqul then took one more gun from the suitcase and 30 rounds of ammunition gave his to the octa.

"For the octa that is Glock 20, just ask the use of it to andhika" brief haqqul.

Then andhika was stunned and embarrassed, okta had her cheeks slightly flushed and ventured to ask andhika.

"A-andhika that.. Want to teach me... How to use this gun...?" okta said nervously.

"L-yes... I want an okta.." - timpal andhika who was nervous.

"alright... Delay the drama first because we have not much time.." quipped haqqul with his flat face.

"Haha!! Look at our baby!! She's shy and nervous" andhika's uncle laughs to her son.

"Dear dear, like her our child has grown bigger and mature" said aunt yukima by pointing a smile to the eyes.

"N-not so... I-mom..?! Grrs! This must be you?!" said Andhika whose cheeks were reddened and somewhat irritated to haqqul.

"My end? But I didn't do anything.."

"You like to insinuate me...?!"

"Rubber, because I'm happy to see your red face, so it looks funny and makes me want to laugh" haqqul said flatly.

Andhika still flushed her cheeks and folded her hands in front of her chest.

Everyone laughed at seeing the funny andhika.

Haqqul continued to give me the gun, with 30 rounds of ammunition.

I received the gun and gave him 30 rounds of ammunition.

Like his zidan was also given by the same haqqul pistol as me and 30 rounds of ammunition, then haqqul explained to the two of us.

"Colt 1911, this gun suits you, because the speed of this gun matches both of you. Like the outdated model, but this gun has a strong destructive power and can be taken anywhere" said Haqqul explained while giving the holster to me and zidan.

I nodded in understanding, while his eyes were amazed with the gun until he did not hear what Haqqul said before.

"And for my brother this fits you perfectly"

Haqqul gave a gun and 30 rounds of ammunition to his brother.

"Ruger RedHawk 454 Casull, has a high viewfinder and also high accuracy" said Haqqul.

"Hm.. It looks good.. Thank you" said kak kamiya received a redhawk pistol with a friendly smile, then sheathed his pistol at the waist.

"This is andhika, desert eagle for you. The destructive power is very strong, and it is very suitable for you to wear, while I will use the S&W 500 Magnum" said Haqqul who gave desert eagle to andhika.

"Oh yes one more, which men will be equipped with katanas" haqqul continued giving each one katana, except haqqul carrying two katanas.

All sheathed her pistol on the right, except for Annisa who sheathed her two pistols on the right left of her hip. Then the men sheathed her katana on her left hip.

Everyone is ready and they bring their bags.

"Oh yeah okta, where's reina? I haven't seen you cradling her since?" ask annisa.

"My mother will take care of Reina for now, because being with us can be dangerous" said Andhika.

"That's it.."

"Yes.."

"Yooosshh...!!! Go, you kids!! A thrilling adventure is waiting for you out there!!"

"Okay, great uncle!!" said we all simultaneously.

"Okay dad, I'll protect them all until my last blood!!" andhika said firmly.

"Okay boy!!, that's my son!!" timpal great uncle who cheers his son.

"Go home safely my son andhika, you all take it easy. Reina is safe with us" said aunt yukima softly.

"Thank you aunt yukima! I beg you to protect my last family!" zidan said with a few tears and then removed it.

"We go first, thank you great uncle, aunt yukima" we all said.

We went out of the temple and started down the stairs to start our adventure.

A few minutes later we finished going down the stairs and rushed to the Kindergarten bus we parked in front of the Annisa house not far from here.

But we saw some zombies roaming around ready to prey on us.

"You ready?" ask a friend.

"Of course"

"Ready.."

"Start...!"

"The game play..."

All my friends look excited and impatient.

"Then... We're starting his adventure..."
