Level up Zombie

110 No Pull back

Zain and his group had decided to move out, but while on the way, Zain was cautious with his followers. Although the small dog was easy to hide and perhaps easy for him to order to run away, the same couldn't be said for Cobra and Skittle.

This was why Zain would tell them to stay still every once in a while, walking ahead, and they were also walking on the streets where there were more Zombies rather than on the roads. The unique Zombie didn't want to be too far away from his friends; he didn't want to lose them, but it was the safest way to act.

The group had decided to head to the closest care package that they had seen, but when they arrived, they were in for quite a shock. From a distance, they could see that the lid of it was already open.

Getting closer, Pink carefully placed her foot as she tipped her head inside.

"It's empty. It looks like someone got here before us." Pink turned around, telling the rest of them.

"You think, or did you just happen to miss the pile of dead bodies that you walked past," Kun replied.

While Kun went to check on the large crate, Zain went down to inspect the bodies, trying to figure out who had exactly done this because, from a glance, it didn't seem like a work of Zombies or a demon.

The wounds were mostly blunt, and the bodies had yet to be eaten as well by those that were nearby. In fact, there were quite a few Zombies killed in the area as well.

"My guess is that two groups had gone after the car package and ended up like this," Zain stated. "It had to be recent as well because some of the zombies are only coming over now. Let's take what we can from these bodies and move forward."

The others knew what Zain meant. A few of them seemed to have their brains intact since they were killed by humans.

"I have some bad news for you as well. It looks like you were right. Judging by these boxes, the military also supplied the others with weapons as well." Kun remarked, which spelt trouble.

After gathering whatever they found useful, the group decided to continue to move forward to the next location. When the care packages had landed, the smoke had also lit up from them in the sky, informing everyone of where they were.

They could see that there was one not too far away as well.

"So why are we travelling by foot?" Pink asked.

"Noise," Zain replied. "The noise will attract more Zombies to the area. Unless a group is confident that they can get somewhere, hold the place for a few minutes and get out, it is unlikely anyone will use a vehicle in these built-up areas. Besides, it's easier for us to move compared to them."

"What makes you say that?" Pink asked.

"Maybe you haven't noticed it, but if you were a human, all of these Zombies that are just wandering about in the street would be going after them. They have to be careful in their movement, whereas we can go directly to the place."

As expected, it didn't take long for Quinn and his group to reach the area of the car package, and once again, Cobra and Skittle were left behind.

"GRRRR!" Jam started to crawl as they got closer.

"I guess you really can smell them before we can." Zain smiled.

When Zain's group was around a hundred metres from the car package on the other side, they could see a group of around eight people with makeshift weapons in their hands. Zain and the others had covered up their markings with clothes so as not to attract too much attention, but the moment the human group noticed their presence, they started to run toward the care package.

"There are others here!" A female shouted to the other group, and they were all running as fast as they could.

This was a reaction that Zain wasn't expecting, and the other group was much closer to the crates. Even with Zain running forward, the others had slid the lid of the case and immediately picked out what looked like a machine gun.

"Shoot them, shoot!" One of the men shouted.

The female pulled out the gun and went to aim it right toward the others, but when she did, she failed to see that Zain was now right by her side. The sword was in his hand and had been swung down.

The strength and speed had cut right through her hands, causing her to drop the gun, but before it fell to the ground, Zain had caught the gun and placed the knife right in front of the other female that had helped with the weapon.

"Ahhh! my hands!" The woman screamed as blood continued to pour from her hands.

The others that had yet to reach the care package and were only a few metres away had attempted to come forward swinging their weapons. However, Zain easily whacked the crowbars away just with the sword.

Then with another, he stabbed them right through the thigh, causing them to fall to the ground. To them, they felt like they stood no chance, as Zain was too strong, too fast and was like a master swordsman.

Seeing him take out three of them so quickly, the others stopped their attack.

"Hey, why are you attacking us?" The man asked. "We're all human here. Why don't we share the content of the care package together."

"Share?" Zain replied back. "You were planning to take the guns out and kill me. Do you think I'm an idiot?"

The woman behind him with his hands continued to scream in pain, and she soon felt a sword being placed right on her shoulder.

"Shut up, or I will shut you up for good."

Seeing this scene, Pink and Kun realised that Zain was dead serious about this... he had already decided that he wasn't on the side of humans and would do anything to ensure his own survival.
