Maximo felt that the way the almighty god view him changed. Fortunately, a while later it reverted back to normal.
Maximo wanted to swipe its nonexistent sweat on its forehead but remembered that it is not capable to do so. Nevertheless, Maximo breathes out a sigh of relief.
As Maximo has already calmed down a little and is no longer gagging, Nile decided that they should continue their journey.
Nile hops on Maximo's back and sits at the comfortable saddle.
Nile and Maximo surveyed the Sitio, and they found out that the elderly zombie from earlier is the last one.
This Sitio only compose of few houses, even fewer than Sitio Palma where Nile had came from. This is rather normal, as the Barangay Ulhi usually housed farmers. In this day and age, the population of farmers could not compare to those higher paying jobs.
Nile and Maximo return to the National Road and continued their journey.
It was already approaching noon when Nile and Maximo reached the Barangay Hall of Barangay Ulhi.
Unlike the usual Barangay Hall of other Barangays, the Barangay Hall of Barangay Ulhi is made of wood and bamboos. It was also only two storeys tall, and its size is not even half of the Barangay Hall of Compud and Malibo.
The Barangay Hall is surrounded by towering trees. Not that many, but their shades and leaves did really help to make the surrounding air more clean and cooler.
Nile and Maximo swayed from the National Road to reach here.
Although Nile doubted if there are still zombies here, he still ultimately decided to come just to check.
Fortunately, Nile's hope is ignited when he heard a rustle coming from the back side of the Barangay Hall.
Whether it will be a zombie or a human survivor which Nile did not want to meet, Nile decided to go and check.
Nile glance at his System Map, as expected, it did not project something that Nile is not aware of.
Nile holds the rope connecting to the bridle with his left hand, while his right hand is already holding the Katana of Liberation tightly.
Nile made Maximo to walk slowly to avoid unnecessary noises. Maximo made a sharp turn on the corner of the Barangay Hall. There they saw a figure with its back facing them.
Maximo stop on his tracks. Maximo's nose twitch as he tried to sniff the air just like a dog.
Maximo and Nile observed the figure closely.
Its body is bended a little, it seems to be doing something on the table on its front. It was wearing a straw-hat, a dirty long sleeves and black jogging pants. Base on its broad back, Nile could tell that it was a man.
Seeing that, Nile is disappointed a little. He thought that it was zombie causing the rustle. Even if it was only a Half-Step Level One°, their side-trip here would not be wasted.
But now that it was a human survivor, his hopes of at least getting a slight increment of Apocalypse Point shattered.
Nile was preparing to get off from Maximo's back to greet the man on a straw-hat when Maximo suddenly retreated a little.
It made a ready-to-pounce posture, as it growled just like a dog. Although what came out from its mouth is a 'mooo'.
Seeing that, Nile became alerted. Maximo's behaviour right now, Nile saw it when they encounter the elderly zombie earlier.
Nile took a glance at the System Map. And indeed, a red dot is there representing the zombie on the front.
Maybe because the zombie 'heard' Maximo's 'mooo' or it realized that its ambush had failed, it turns its head to face Nile.
The zombie's ugly appearance did not make Nile flinch. He is already used to it after encountering different kinds of zombies since the day he transmigrated.
What made Nile to feel a cringe is on the zombie's mouth.
The zombie's lower jaw no longer has any skin left. It was all bones with a bit of flesh remaining on a few spots. Its lower teeth are exposed outside.
Inside its semi open mouth, a squirming maggot the size of an adult thumb could be seen. It wriggled itself inside the zombie's mouth as if searching for meat to feast on.
Nile spat on the side instantly after seeing it, the moment Nile saw that scene, it felt as if he was experiencing the same.
He felt that there was also a maggot inside his mouth.
Nile felt a shiver.
Fortunately, the moment Nile spit on the ground, the mask opened a hole to let the spit pass through.
On the zombie's back, at the table, Nile noticed a body lying there. Apparently, the straw-hat zombie is dissecting a human body there.
Maximo is using its front-left hoof to scratch on the ground, getting ready for a charge.
Nile patted Maximo's shoulders to calm the carabao a little.
Nile realized that the zombie had retained some of its memories before it got infected, just like the gay zombie and the kid zombie from before.
On the straw-hat zombie's case, on its right hand, it was holding a rusted scythe. The zombie has retained its farmer characteristics, the scythe that is used to mow grass is now being used as a weapon.
This kind of zombies are rather strong compared to others at the same level. The straw-hat zombie that is capable of using a weapon is even more dangerous than the previous two zombies that Nile had meet.
Nile watched the straw-hat zombie warily. Maximo also did the same at it also realize that the zombie on its front is a powerful one.
The straw-hat zombie eyed both Maximo and Nile. Like a predator eyeing a prey, the straw-hat zombie observes the both of them.
The surrounding suddenly turned silent. Even the winds stopped howling and the rustle of leaves calmed itself.
If a needle will be dropped at this moment, with the heightened sense of Nile, the straw-hat zombie and even Maximo, they could definitely hear the needle drop.
At the back of the straw-hat zombie, the dismembered body has been chopped into pieces of different sizes of cubes.
At the head part, sticky black blood is rolling along with a ball-like object. The ball-like object rolled on the edge of the table as it dropped itself on the ground. The ball-like object is an eyeball coated with blood.
The moment the eyeball reach the ground, it bounced three times before it rolled on the ground.
The moment it stopped, as if it was the cue, Maximo bolstered and charged towards the straw-hat zombie.
Nile grip the rein on his left and the Katana of Liberation on his right hand.
The straw-hat zombie made a roar first before it also charge towards them madly.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
