Sun is up and the tree is still burning. My phone already off to save battery so i dunno the time. Well why should I care? Not to say I need to get to work now.
Today is the day I going out. Equip with a M4A1 keep inside the coat to keep it warm., who come near me will die but I gonna save from reckless due to limited ammo. It time for all FPS game experience and MGS game stealth to come in play. ... Wait.... My life is at stake here, I should be serious as it not just a survival game.
I open the door just to meet the cold wind blowing toward me. I not even step out yet but I shivering all over.
Let take the first step out.
*tump*
The snow is slippery and my first step out ended with face landing on snow.
"Ahh, pui, pui. Ouch, that is awkward."
I get up and slowly move to the front of the train to see the thing that block the train view. " Giant Excalibur on a black metal stone?" Due to too close to the decreased giant knight, Zi Zen can't really identify what really was that thing. "The stand is surprising made of steel and it smooth making me cannot climb it. I will try another way later. Now I need to try to hunt for food and at the same time survey the surrounding"
Zi Zen walk toward the forest.
"Why is the snow so hard to walk on? Must be the shoe I wearing not suitable for snow. I remember that snowshoe have larger base. This larger base surface will make the wearer to not sink into the snow when walking. I will make one later when I get back."
After a while, Zi Zen see something moving at the snow beside that tree. Zi Zen slow down his step and hide behind the tree as cover. He slowly move from tree to tree while trying to identify the thing.
Suddenly, a pair of long ear emerge. Instantly, he think of rabbit. "Snow rabbit, awesome, this won't be too hard and today dinner is smoked rabbit" He ready his bone knife that he made by hitting some bone together. The edges is slowly form by sharpening the dull bone until become sharp.
The rabbit emerge from the snow and hop toward the grass which is behind where Zi Zen currently hiding and by the look, the rabbit didn't notice Zi Zen as enjoying eating the grass. Zi Zen use the bone knife and quickly stab toward the rabbit. The rabbit notice and try to avoid but alas, too late. Blood flow down from the neck and it an instantly kill.
After killing the rabbit, he separate the fur, the meat and internal organ. The internal organ are bury and he bring the meat, fur, some grass, tree bark, tree branches and tree leaves back to the train.
In the train, he smoke the meat at the chimney. He then make a snowshoe he can move easier in the snow. It work by distributing the weight so the foot does not sink into the snow. Next, he made a simple gloves and a bag from the remaining fur of the beast, rabbit fur and sew together with grass and tree leaves strips. Good thing I learn sewing from my mom as I need to sew my favorite character cloth but it ended up with failure. It just too hard to sew the shape I wanted and my mom doesn't want to help me. So instead it become a green robe instead of green cloth, however the cap I success in making almost the same as what Link have.
"Huh? Why the meat I prepared in advance have less than what I have earlier? I think I remember I have about a dozen of it but now it only have 10 left." "Maybe I remember wrongly?" Zi Zen look around the train. "Maybe"
-------
Unknown to Zi Zen, under the train, something is enjoying the meat found from the train. "tu, tu, tu"
-------
After a break, Zi Zen wake up and have his lunch. A smoked rabbit meat. He also cut some to smaller size and keep with him.
Now Zi Zen plan to walk further than just now following the trail he left just now. Back to the place where rabbit die for a greater cause, he see another rabbit but the rabbit eye is blood red now. The rabbit seen Zi Zen. "Does the snow rabbit plan to attack me by kicking?" Zi Zen ready his bone knife.
Blue light particle slowly form at the head of the rabbit and it transform into a cone shape ice.
Suddenly the ice cone shot out heading toward Zi Zen, Zi Zen on the other hand surprise as he did not expect for the ice to shot out but he indeed prepared for any head bum or kick from the rabbit so he dodge it. Zi Zen quickly hide behind a tree as more flying ice cone is heading his way.
"What the ice is that attack? Flying ice cone? Look like a magic attack. How can I fight something like this using my knife. It will be a joke to use my M4A1 against a rabbit that can die in one hit if I can get close to it"
'Pang, ping, pang, ping'
"Look like the tree cannot last any longer. Let go to another tree. Let see, the ice cone fly to me in an interval of 5 second. I have time to move when the next shot arrive."
'Ping'
"Now!" I run to the next tree and hide behind it. Good, I will keep this up until I arrive to the tree next to the snow rabbit. Sensing danger, the snow rabbit hop away as quickly as it can. While still charging its ice cone when it stop and turn to fire at Zi Zen.
After a few attempt, Zi Zen successful in arriving near to the snow rabbit. "One more only"
'ping'
Zi Zen dodge at last second and drive the bone knife into the snow rabbit while shouting"now DIE!" before it shot another ice cone.
Before it die, it let out a scream. Zi Zen feel the scream is bad new. Quickly, he wanted to grab the snow rabbit corpse and run away but decided to abandon the idea. Immediately, he dash toward the dense forest and hide in a tree hole he discover when he walk by just now. He keep quiet and stay hidden for a while.
After a while, he take a peek at the area where the snow rabbit die just now. At there, a bunch of snow rabbit is surrounding the corpse. Then, a snow rabbit hop toward the corpse and start to dig out it head until it pull out a small crystal. He bring the crystal and give to a snow rabbit which is bigger than then rest. Seem to be their leader. The leader then eat the crystal and lead all the rabbit away.
"Luckily, I have chose to hide first. Only alive I can fight for another day." Zi Zen think in his heart. "How can I win against a bunch of snow rabbit if one is enough to give me headache. I don't think my bullet is enough for every rabbit there."
