Chapter 52: Eating Popcorn While Watching a Fight (1/2)

Dawn came and Nile get off from the thick tree branch.

As it was still early, Nile did not eat yet and decided to take a stroll first. In any case, he might get lucky and encounter a zombie or something.

After walking for a while, Nile notice a small house at the distance.

No, it can no longer be described as a house because it was more like a wreckage. It's roofs are torn, and the walls are in pieces.

Nile approach the wreckage warily and observed it closely.

The wrecked house is small, and it got even smaller as there are missing walls and other parts on it.

The wrecked house is made of a different kind of woods. It looks like a storm had just passed by base on the wreckage.

As Nile did not notice any abnormality and there are no zombies in that wrecked house, Nile decided to put the matter at the back of his head and continued his stroll.

Nile is getting farther and farther. He noticed that the sun is already rising at the east.

Day 5 on the Apocalypse, Nile's progress on getting stronger is fast, but because of the limited resources or zombies to become strong, Nile is anxious and is not satisfied with his current level.

After walking for a while, Nile realizes that the houses are more sparse than usual. He scourged his memory and realized the reason for this.

Barangay Ulhi is a place where people rely more on farming to make a living. In particular, the local product of Barangay Ulhi are their sugarcane plantations.

Because of that, you could only see few houses on Barangay Ulhi even including the Sitio's under it.

Nile thought that it was a problem. There will be fewer zombies on this Barangay, he needs to hurry and move towards the next Barangay then.

Nile walked and a while later, he arrived at an intersection road, this road is the Main road used to access in order to reach the lungsod easily. The other side of the road is connected to the next lungsod.

Lungsod of Daan is at the left side of the road, so Nile turn to that area and walked again.

Each side of the road is covered with tall sugarcanes, it was at least twice as tall as Nile.

The sun is rising and Nile felt a little tremble in his stomach. Nile took a biscuit and dried fruit packets on his Storage Space and continued walking as he eats his breakfast.

Nile is busy savoring the somewhat sweet and sour taste of the dried mango when he heard a commotion on his right.

Because of the tall sugarcanes, Nile could not see what it is, but base on the sound, there seems to be a fight going on?

Nile got curious and decided to take a little peek.

He drew out his Katana and slashed the sugarcanes on his way.

The sugarcanes are not yet to mature, so he did not waste his time harvesting them for food. He just find it strange though that these sugarcanes are so tall. They seem to be also a lot sturdier.

'Are sugarcanes really this tall and tough? Strange!' Nile thought as he continued to slash the sugarcanes in his front. While doing so, he will take a piece of the dried mango and put it in his mouth.

After slashing, Nile arrived at an area where the sugarcanes had fallen down. It looks like a tornado suddenly dropped around this area and vanished immediately after the havoc.

But Nile already knew that this was not caused by the tornado. The real culprit of this messed up scene is the two figures at the middle.

At the middle, a carabao and a huma-, no, a carabao and a zombie is having a bout.

Nile stood there and gaze at the two. They did not notice him and continued their fight.

Nile shrugged his shoulder and sat down.

As he was still not full after eating one packet of biscuit and dried mango, he browse through his Storage Space and took a packet of Popcorn in it.

Nile opened it on the top and grabbed a handful of it. He then put three pieces of popcorn in his mouth and eat it. His eyes never left the two fighting at the middle.
