Chapter 56: Lungsod of Daan (1/2)

After equipping Maximo with the Saddle and Bridle Set, his ride became as comfortable as ever.

Nile had not experienced how comfy it was to ride those super luxury cars from his previous world, but he can tell that the ride he was experiencing right now is more comfortable than those.

Even though Maximo is walking strangely, no, hopping strangely, Nile could not even feel it. Even though his body is wobbling, it was strange that he is still feeling comfortable.

Maximo and Nile are traveling using the National Road, which is smoother compared to the Barangay Road which Nile had to walk into before.

The National Road or Main Road connected all the Lungsod or the Municipalities, which is in the jurisdiction of the City of Subo.

A City is formed by many Districts, which are formed from three or more Municipalities or Lungsod.

The Lungsod of Daan or Municipality of Daan is just one of the many Municipalities under the City of Subo.

Municipality of Daan is from the 8th District.

The City of Subo is a big island that is in an elongated form. The 8th District is in the Southern part of Subo. And the Lungsod of Daan is in the southernmost part or is the furthest from the center of Subo, out of all the Seven Municipality which is under the 8th District.

Nile has walked in the left road of the intersection from before in order to reach the Lungsod of Daan, which means he is getting further away from the center of Subo, which also means it has the densest population in all of the City.

The closer it was to the center of a City, the more urbanized it was, which also meant that the closer it was on the center, the denser the population is.

Even so, Nile had already decided from the beginning that he must start from the Lungsod of Daan. He will start on the less populated place. Then from there, he will continue to go to the more populated place while getting stronger along the way.

This way, he will not have to face the problem of encountering a zombie that will be out of his league.

For example, if he directly goes to the more populated area, what if he encountered a powerful zombie that is more powerful than him? Will he not become a meat paste if that powerful zombie squash him with a palm strike?

Of course, the Lungsod of Daan still has a dense population, it was only when compared to the Municipalities that is closer to the center Subu will the Lungsod of Daan lose to the amount of population.

The problem that Nile is facing was actually the time. He is already late by two months, and with no means of fast transport, Nile's time will be mostly consumed by walking from one Municipality to another.

But now, with Maximo, that part can no longer be called a problem. Riding Maximo means he will save a lot of time from walking, and the Energy spent on walking will then be preserved for future battle, as he will almost do nothing while riding Maximo with this comfortable saddle.

The saddle even has a back post so Nile could just sit back and relax while waiting for Maximo to arrive at their destination. Of course, Nile will stir their direction now and then.

Now Nile is observing Maximo's behaviour. How long until Maximo gets tired? How fast could Maximo go?

The most important part. How long until Maximo gets hungry or thirsty? Will there be a grass-station along the way? Or does he need to cut grass himself to feed Maximo?

'Hmm, I need to store a lot of water from now on.' Nile thought as he leaned on the back post of the saddle.

After just a few minutes, they arrived at a group of houses. Nile patted Maximo's side to make it slow down. Maximo understand his instruction and slowed down to a speed comparable to when Nile is walking normally.

After a while, Nile spotted a zombie ahead of them. Observing its movements, Nile could tell that it was a Level One° zombie.

Even from afar, Nile could tell that it was an elderly zombie. It has a white hair with few red spots on them. It was wearing a dirty white sleeveless t-shirt and a boxer short. Its hairline is extended until the part above its ear. It was thinly built, maybe due to the fact that it was already old before it became a zombie.

Maximo also stared at the zombie warily. Nile flicks the rope connecting to the bridle to wake Maximo. He then kicked Maximo's side a little.

Maximo understand Nile's intent, Maximo 'mooed' and bolstered towards the zombie as Nile draw outs his Katana from its Saya on his back.
