"Elle, don't go beyond the boundary. You got it?" Anna strictly reminds her sister that it is dangerous outside the boundary. The boundary she mentioned is made from trees. She has an affinity with plants. She can make them grow as much as she wants. Pine trees encircle their house. They have a little garden and some livestock like chickens; they also have a dog that guards their place.
Anna is gardening and growing some potatoes to eat. They still have enough supplies for them to live. Growing crops are not a problem. They are living well on their own.
Elle has a telekinetic powers. She can lift things in the air. It is very helpful when they go out to search for groceries.
They live in Cypress town. There are a few people left there. Almost all of the survivors left for City C. Since they can survive on their own and the level of danger in Cypress town is very low, they chose to stay.
"Elle, we are running out of salt. Prepare yourself. We will be going out in a few minutes." Anna informed Elle.
"Stay beside me, Elle. Do not go out on your own, okay?" She is worried for her little sister. Although Elle is awakened, she still has to train in order to face a group of zombies. Anna is twenty years old and Elle is twelve years old.
They are going to a small grocery store near their house. They silently and carefully walk along the road since the zombies are sensitive to noise. As they are walking, Elle stepped on a can of Coke which produce a loud noise.
"Oh my! Elle let's go. Come on, run." Anna and Elle start running. They are still in an open road so it is dangerous to them. They turn right and run to a near store.
"Hurry Elle. Come on." Zombies are chasing them. Around ten normal zombies chase them. Though they are normal zombies, they run fast.
"Anna, they are coming. Ahh!" Elle stopped moving and she is trembling in fear. Anna is a few meters away from Elle. She tried to block the zombies with plants.
"Come on Elle, move." She pulled her sister away. She understands that Elle is afraid but they need to move before the zombies find a way. She has not learned any attack using her plants yet and Elle is inexperienced. She carried her sister on her back however it slowed them down.
"Elle, can you try pulling things to block them?" She asks her sister.
"I'll try." Elle pulls some cart on the road and blocked the zombies but that is all she can do with her power. Zombies are rushing towards them. Bloody hands are reaching Elle. Elle is screaming as she doesn't want to be eaten.
"Come on Elle, try pushing them back with your power." She tried pushing them back however, she can just stop them for a moment. After that, zombies are catching up to them again.
Anna saw an open store. She rushes to that store however, a zombie dog appeared and blocked the entrance. There is no way to run. Both sisters are trembling in fear. The dog runs towards them. It jumps and is ready to take them down. A big mouth is coming to them.
"Aaaaahhhh!" they scream helplessly.
<< --- Back to Vinci --- >>
"I already told you that I do not want to be your student. Why are you following me?" David is annoyed that Vinci keeps on following him.
"Who told you I am following you?" He answered.
"Look here mister, it is very obvious that you are following me because it has been 3 days already, and yet you have taken the same road as me." David responded.
"I am also going to City C; is it not the road to that place?" He replied as he does not know what to say. He is literally following David for the reasons that he wants him to be his student, and it is boring to be alone. Following him might also lead him to an organization that has information about the apocalypse.
David cannot reason with him so he let Vinci follow him. They arrived in Cypress town. "Let us separate here for a while. I need to look for some supplies. I also need space from you." They separated in the town.
Vinci searches for a place where no one can see him. He arrived at a warehouse.
"Planetary travel" He opens a dimension to travel back to Purple Star. He went to the forest of oblivion. At the center of the forest, he tamed some of the legendary beasts. There are a total of six legendary beasts he tamed: Peacock (its feathers are like knives, it throws so many feathers), a metal-type beast; Next is the giant lizard, an earth-type beast with skin as hard as a rock; deer has an affinity of light, a support type of beast that heals its companions. Even though it is a support-type beast, it can attack with a light beam that pierces its enemy. Next is the legendary toad, which has a water element. It throws bubbles that when touched, explode. Next is the Crane which has a wind element; it can create a tornado. Lastly is the two-headed dragon which blows a red and blue fire.
He aims to summon these beasts when needed. He knows that he will be facing beings as powerful as him so he needs some help from these legendary beasts.
Vinci went back to Blue Star after taming the legendary beasts. He then looks for supplies around the town. This is just a small town so he can easily find David.
<< --- back to Elle --- >>
The dog jumps at the sisters. While approaching the sisters, a fireball hit the dog while it is still in the air.
"Are you okay?" David asked the sisters who are trembling. He faced the dog. He has already fought one so he knows its pattern. He burns the dog and afterward burns the group of zombies.
David noticed that the town has little zombies. He has not encountered any when he arrived here. He thought that this town is safe. This is the first group of zombies he fought. For sure there is a reason for that.
Vinci noticed that the town is somewhat quiet and there is a little number of zombies. He searched for zombies yet those are the only zombies he can see. They are already killed by David. He is restless because he feels something awry.
He intends not to follow David to look for an answer. He really feels an aura that is different yet strong. It can even block his power to search the surroundings. He noticed that there are weird formations of trees on the hill. As he looked around, there is a house inside those trees. The house is blocked by trees; it is a good formation to block the zombies.
He goes down and enters the place. He noticed that the trees are forcefully grown like time was accelerated to make them grow. He also noticed a garden that is imbued with magic. He is amazed that someone has this kind of power.
"Woah! What is that?" He suddenly felt a strong aura inside the vicinity. It is attacking him however, it is more trivial to him. He searched around the house and find something interesting. It is a Venus Flytrap plant however, this is not an ordinary plant. It is not eating a fly but everything, including humans.
"Oh! Does it actually have vines? And it attacks me using that, it is interesting." It attacks Vinci. It is a big plant; an eight feet tall Venus Flytrap with vines for attacking.
"Summon" Vinci summons a peacock as it is trivial to him. He does not want to waste his time fighting the plant. The fight did not last for two minutes as peacock is its antithesis. Peacock throws its feathers to it and cut all the vines then finally, slices the plant like dicing vegetables.
While the peacock is dicing the plant, Vinci stumbles on a prison at the back of the house. Inside it are not zombies but people. He cannot believe it. So, the reason why this town has only a small number of zombies is because some people here are taken as prisoners.
There are no bodies of zombies too in the town. He realized that the Venus Flytrap can digest bodies. What if there is not one of it but many?
He asked the people why they are imprisoned there. They answered that there are two crazy sisters who brutally throws them to that plant. They do not why but they are crazy. Even the zombies in town were cleaned up by them. If there are strangers arriving in town, they will take some of us and turn us into zombies to lure the strangers.
"Oh no! David." He rushed to look for David.
