Gavin - Survive On The Terrible Island
Chapter 5's

“ Mom... Help me.. I'm afraid.. mama.. mama where “.

“ she's delirious ?? “

I began to examine her state of unclear muttering while sleeping on the lower end of my feet.

I saw him then, his face reddened and curled up in the cold.

Slowly I put my hand on her forehead to check her temperature

“ mom.. please don't go .. I'm afraid . “

his body feels hot.he has a high fever..

“ mom don't go... Please “

he clasped my hand tightly like a child that his mother wanted to protect.

A cold wind blew into the dark cave and shook the bonfire. The small flames started to look dim along with the missing shadow in the swallow to the precipitate

I slightly tilted my head to the left and raised my left hand to make sure of the time.

01.00 Am

Tracing the dark and cold misty forest, I remember seeing cassava leaves not far from where I defeated three pirates before..

cassava leaves can cure fever at least in an emergency like in this forest..

I spurred my steps towards the direction where I could find the cassava tree..

Actually I can't wander around at midnight like this in the woods.my father once said that this would be dangerous.

I don't know what danger is going to meet me, but I have no other choice..

I don't want to let anyone die before my eyes any more than she is a woman..

I will be filled with guilt for the rest of my life..

With a breath of breath, I finally saw a familiar tree in front of my sight.

Leaves are shaped to dance and have a broad trunk in the tree.

“ there are two trees around here.this is enough “.

After taking some cassava leaves in my hand, I walked back towards the cave. If you think why not take the cassava, then forget it. it will hinder me when I want to walk fast.

“ Pleaseg... Pleaseg.. “ the voice of someone asking for help is heard quietly from the east

“ is that a ghostly voice ? “

The screams I heard came from the direction where I had earlier defeated the pirates.

it was not so clear between the voices of men or women..

when I imagine it makes my hair goosebumps instantly, but if it's really someone who needs help..

“ Ah.. “

I began to force myself to take a deep breath to relieve the nervousness within me.

then go to check what sound is actually breaking the silence..

“ Humm ? “

I didn't find anything here, just a few trees with big roots..

The atmosphere was very quiet, there was not even a crickets sound..

A cold wind rubbed my back neck, instantly an unpleasant feeling surfaced within.

I accidentally swallowed saliva into my dry throat, as if fear filled my throat..

I restlessly checked around and pulled a white sword from the sheath that had been attached to my waist earlier.

“Hoarghhh !!!” An undead figure emerged from behind me, followed by a disgusting smell of rancor..

“ What is this ? “

Confusedly also with goosebumps I held the sword in my right hand making it parallel in front of my stomach..

put up horses to survive

Various questions began to pop into my mind..

“ This is one of the pirates that I previously defeated?. Why did he become like this ? “

Swollen eyes, a face that is destroyed because of the skin of the face that peels..

He walked up his hands like a man who wanted to catch something, his mouth wide open and drooling that kept dripping gave off a very unpleasant smell..

“ harrrg “

He began to walk quickly with legs that seemed to limp next to him, like a zombie who wanted to prey..

“ Zombies ? “

“ Hoarg.. “ he began to jump pouncing on me from the front, instantly I jumped avoiding him to my right side.

It was evident from the way he attacked, he was just trying to catch me with both of his stiff hands..

Not trying to hit or kick. But the big possibility is if he manages to catch me he will definitely bite me. And I will be a zombie ?

“ Really purify.. “

I was amazed to see his persistence that wanted to eat me, trying to jump back and run from his pursuit..

“ Arghh “

I stumbled upon a corpse of a pirate whom I had previously defeated, his body damaged as if he had eaten something, leaving only the black clothes I had seen before.

Could it be this zombie that ate it ? ..

who knows, it's like in a horror movie..

“ haerhgg “

“ wretched !! he walked that fast ?? “

I saw the zombie begin to approach and jump on my body..

“ Arggghhhh !! “

Painful screams came out of my mouth as he managed to bite my left arm..

“ crashes ! “ I reflexively slashed his head until it rolled down near a large root under a tall tree

But what I saw was really, really, really, really, really, really, really cleaning..

his head that was separated from that body was still trying to chase after me and wanted to bite me again..

Isn't this more depressing than I've ever seen in a horror movie ??

“ ha..heh.. hah “my heart beat irregularly. occasionally swallow my saliva down my throat with a wheezing breath..

I slowly moved to crawl onto a large tree holding onto the zombie bite scar..

The sight was bleaching, the eyes were wide open and the mouth was starting to approach me..

I took the sword beside me with my right hand sticking the tip of this sharp sword into his head..

“ jreb ! “

the head of the zombie did not move. He slowly closed his eyes and closed his rotten mouth..

“ ha.. “ I began to take a deep breath and calm myself down. With my right hand I checked the wound from the deep bite mark on my left arm..

It's painful..

what's more terrifying is that I'm going to turn into a zombie after he bites me..??

After leaning back long enough I sheathed my sword again and saw a dagger near the shattered corpse..

I started to close my nose and close my eyes to pick it up. While holding the wound on my left arm I started to step back into the cave..

“ He has started to calm down ? “

Slowly I gently put the cassava leaves that I had mashed gently into Marissa's forehead..

“ haaa “

I leaned my limp against the cave wall filled with anxious thoughts of turning into zombies..

I'd better keep my consciousness like this until Marissa kisses me and goes away from me. I'm afraid when I fall asleep I turn into a zombie and start attacking her..

Damn I'm too paranoid..

Better to do something than nothing..

I remember that the sap from taro leaves can heal wounds through its function as an adstringent to make the skin pores shrink so as to minimize bleeding.

Flavonoid compounds owned taro leaf stems can form complex compounds whose edges can stability bacterial cell membranes that trigger infection in wounds.In addition, taro leaf stems have anti-inflammatory alias anti-inflammatory. So that it can suppress pain due to injury.

I picked up some taro leaves around the cave, and started squeezing the sap into the zombie bite wound..

The sound of the night beast gradually disappeared.it now changed into a few chirps of birds around the cave where we were sheltering..

I bowed my head to look at a watch in my left hand.

I feel very sleepy, my eyes that want to be closed can not be unbearable anymore.if this way I can collapse at any time..

Sitting limply and with a heavy gaze I saw Marissa slowly opening her eyes to wake up..

“ Hoaam... “ he opened his mouth wide to yawn with dry-looking saliva stuck to his cheeks, he said, it seemed like he slept deeply and woke up like a child exhausted from playing a lot..

“ humm what is this.. ? Leaf ? “ he sat down and began to examine the leaves that were stuck on his forehead.With holding the leaves on his forehead he was surprised to see me who was sitting leaning back looking at him with contorted eyes.

“ you.., I thought I was dreaming of being stranded on this pathetic island.really this is real“ he sat down by embracing his knees and began to contemplate..without him knowing what really happened to me last night..

I did not respond to his words, it does not mean I do not want to answer, it's just that I do not have more energy to say things that are in vain

“ vinn why is your face so pale ?? “
