The sun which was not affected at all by the "katalis" rose slowly. The desert which was very cold when night came, getting warmer as the time rotated.
The inhabitants of the sudden house that appeared on desert started waking up. After having breakfast with nasi bungkus again, with the additional vegetables this time. They started taking off, leaving the empty house located in the desert.
After the "katalis", everything looked huge except for normal human non-evolver who kept stay normal. Even "pitik", the newly domesticated chicken which was one to two meter talls and fifty-sixty centimeters long. The plants such as wheat also grew in nutrients. In fact, all except normal humans grew many times either its size or its energy body including the evolver.
Three people and one animal started walking casually. The howling sound of wind and the moving sand did not stop them the slightest. They walked casually surrounded by a few times conversation either regarding the Perubahan food or the "Kandiana" fruit that they originally aimed to
"Brother Jantan, could you explain to us again what is the appearance of Kandiana fruit so we can find it, we want to help too" asked Sinta followed by the nodding of Rudi
Jantan sighed the umpteenth time at the moment
"It is a big fruit sized around fifty to eighty centimetres wide with the length around one meter if matured. The colour is red and the shape of fruit is similar to apple before the katalis" He then shaked his right hand
"No need to search, i just want you kids to accompany me in the road"
"C'mon brother. I want to help too. I will definitely somewhat become use by you" Rudi gritted his teeth, he knew that it was just a reason. With his normal body and without ability, he was no use. Shinta was also gripping her hand hard. She wanted to help her brother Jantan whom already help them for many times.
Jantan casually shaked his hand as answer
After a few hours, it was around 1 p.m. the environment changed. The sun was getting hotter, the temperature at this moment was around sixty degrees Celsius which was enough to make adult normal man powerless.
The kids started to sweat miserably, their hands always lifted the water bottle to their mouths, hydrating themselves by replenishing water volume in the body. There were only two creatures that were unaffected, the obvious camel and Jantan.
With his blessed physique, the temperature like this was like sunbathing in the beach. He didn't even sweat. Being an evolver, blessed by rich green energy when he was two years old and training his body since then, making him humanoid tank which was not easily affected by current predicament.
Looking back on two kids who were sweating profusely, he walked to them. Touching their heads with his big palm, he said
"Elemen cahaya, pelindung cahaya" Light Element, the Shield Of Light
Suddenly, there were two curved shields made of light element that rotated around each of their bodies, protecting them from hot sun.
"Whoa, what is it?"
"The feeling is warm" Rudi thought in amazement
"I don't want to depend on you, but after all i still did. I'm sorry brother" Shinta said helplessly
Jantan waved his hand, refusing them
"It's only a small trick. Keep stay hydrated, it will get hotter since now on"
"Brother Jantan is amazing. He is a dual rare ability user: wood and light" Shinta thought in amazement. She loved to read, to a small village like them. Having a chance to read was precious that's why aside of searching the remaining books in the garbage, she also bought books from her saving.
Knowledge was power as they said she believed.
She knew that majority of awakeners were single ability user. By TUG or The United Government classified class abilities into five Ps;
The first was called Penguat, meaning that innate talent in user body was pyshical body talent such as physical practicioner.
The second was called Pikiran, the user got blessed in mental power such as telekinesis, supercount, illusion, and many others.
The third was Pengontrol elemen, as the name suggested they could control the natural elements such as wood, light, and others.
The fourth was Pengontrol benda, it was different with Pengontol Elemen. Pengontrol benda focused on controlling things other than natural elements such as chain, even human.
The last one was minority in awakener community which was a special case, Pembeda.
The four of them started walking again. After a few hours, before the sun was set. They found themselves in the middle of oasis in the desert. It was rare for an oasis to exist, that's why they kept in alert especially Jantan.
He looked out the surrounding environment carefully, trying to find the sign of Kandiana fruit they were searching for.
Sand was always moving slowly in the sights of three humans. The wind was howling faster and faster. Suddenly they saw something from afar
The big shape like desert lizard was running quickly closer to oasis. The desert lizard identified with the sharp claws, strong bite force, and the venomous saliva.
"Ahhhh desert lizard. We will all die!!!" Rudi shouted in fear
"The carnivorous animal danger level 3!!!" Shinta was frightened. She knew how dangerous animal was level 3.
Since TUG took over the central government long ago when the outbreak of katalis came, together with scientists, awakeners, and organizations across the world. It announced the national animal danger level, starting from danger level 1 meant that at least it needed five adult armed with Assault Rifles to got defeated. By comparison, the desert camel that they rode was danger level 1
Danger level 3 meant that at least 15 people armed with Assault Rifles to have a chance to defeat it.
15 people! While they had only two unarmed kids and one unarmed young man..and well one camel with danger level 1 if it was included in the fighting.
The desert lizard run on the desert like a marathon player, nothing stopped it at all even the mass of sand and the wind that started getting heavier. its speed reached 60 km/h in average.
Upon closer view, it had the body length of three meters and one point five meters high. It was like a small truck running across the desert with fast speed.
"Relax, eventhought there are more than three of those. It's still manageable" Jantan tried to make the kids and the camel relax as the latter slowly walked back a few steps. He saw this, but he didn't care at all. That was pretty normal considering that the desert camel was two levels lower than the animal in front of them.
Yes, the animal...
Even desert lizard as big as a small truck couldn't make him tremble
"Be carefullll brother. There are two more!!!" Sinta shouted as she pointed on the right side of the incoming desert lizard because there appeared two more of them
Whussh
With the strong legs, the first desert lizard jumped high passed oasis. Open its mouth and roared, intending to eat the human in front of it as a whole.
Jantan gripped his right hand, move to the back, and with the force of kinetic energy. He swung his right hand at the face of desert lizard.
Boom
The wind shook as like grenade detonated in the point of impact. The desert lizard got thrown far away dozens of meters with a broken head. After struggling for a moment, it stopped moving.
Jantan didn't care with the dead desert lizard because he moved to the right when the second desert lizard tried to behead him with his sharp claws. Swing his right leg to the back, he kicked the animal in front of him with the force of thousands of kilograms making it flying awal dozens of meters.
Rudi and Shinta couldn't close their mouths when they were looking at the fight in front of their eyes. They couldn't believe how easy was it from brother Jantan handled three monsters.
"Amazing, this is the evolver..." Rudi's eyes sparkling when he saw how easy to brother Jantan broke the head of the last desert lizard with his hands. The fight couldn't last even for ten seconds. Imagined how easy it was for brother Jantan to do it, he looked like he didn't even trying
Sinta nodded "yes, although we already see it several times. But this time is a truly danger level 3, even desert lizard is no match for our big brother Jantan" she said proudly
"Rudi, Sinta come here. The dinner's menu this time is desert lizard" Jantan said while he was opening his hiking bag to take seasoning. After taking it out, he looked at the kids that still searching for wood but no avail.
"There is no wood on the desert like this. Come here" He explained to the two kids. After tidying up the camel and cleaning the internal organs of desert lizard. Together they sat on the sand beside of oasis.
If there was no wood, make it by yourself!
"Elemen Kayu, Kebangkitan Pohon Kelapa" Wood Element, The Rise Of Coconut Trees
The sand in front of them started to tremble as like there was something that going to appear. In the instance, the sprout emerged from the ground followed by one another. Three of them were becoming branchs and got higher as the leaves started to bloom. Three meters, four meters, five meters..the leaves were stopped growing and then a few coconut emerged from the trees, by the looks and the sizes of it they already matured.
Three coconut trees stand up proudly around the oasis. The leaves were swaying with wind, creating a melodious song.
Ignoring the admiration of two kids, Jantan picked up his kitchen knife from his backpack, swing it up and cut one of the trees. After cutting up a few branches, he made a fire and started grilling the desert lizard. He didn't forget to add the seasoning from his hiking back such as onion, kechtup, salt, sugar, and sambal as there was no life for Indonesian like him if there was no sambal in his menu. With the coconut trees as the drinks, it was truly luxury at the moment in the dry unpopulated desert
Sambal was a spicy food, it was usually created by combining a spice, a tomato, and a shrimp paste.
Three of them started enjoying the dinner until the sun set and the darkness came..
"Okay, the dinner is over. It's time to get up" Looking out the darkness that started to envelope the desert, he stand up and remind them to on to move
"Oh yes i forgot to tell you that the right time to search for Kandiana fruit is the night time because it secreted the particular enzime when the night comes, making it shines brightly. Let's go, we don't need to waste any time" Seeing the kids nodded, he then helped them to pack up all the things and the journey began
It was particular quiet at night with no sound could be heard across the desert. Rudi and Sinta were holding each other hands as they tried to warm each other bodies eventhough they already wore thick jackets. The sound of the foot stepped on sand could be heard slowly before it stopped completely.
There in front of them the shining things brightly, making area a few meters around it cleared with lights.
Rudi and Sinta heard someone sighed
"There you are, Kandiana" He walked and pick it up. Putting it into his bag, he started creating a wood house.
Inside the wood house, the tree people took rest after a long journey that was finally done
"It was too easy brother Jantan" Rudi relaxed
"It was actually not. Don't you remember that we almost got eaten by those monsters earlier?" Sinta rejected angrily
"If there were no brother Jantan, we would have been done for!!!!!"
"The Kandiana is a danger level 4 because of solely reason by being depth into the desert where there are many dangerous creatures. This fruit itself is not dangerous after we find its hiding place" Jantan explained
"That was brother Jantan for you. Do you understand Rudi!!!"
"I knew that brother Jantan is strong. What's wrong with being relaxed, sister? You need to relax too"
Ignoring the two kids that started bickering, he sat down with the legs crossed each other and start meditating
After the emergence of various plants and animals, Aside of using the comparison of the number of armed person with the danger level, TUG also classified the difficulty of variety organism. The ability it had other than combat, the process of finding, the location of said organism, the number of allies, and etc. All of them were counted with computers and the danger level was finally out. Truthfully, it was even the same with the evolver as they were measured by the danger level itself.
To be able becoming the evolver.
One at least have the danger level of 15.
If the desert lizard was 3, how would monster be with the danger level of 15?
That was evolver
The humanity's ultimate army against abnormal enemies
