Level up Zombie

170 A hard Quest

Zain's real body had only just arrived, so he didn't have time to help the others like he had originally planned to, because it looked like the fighting had now come to a complete halt. Not because of him though, it was due to the older gentleman who had just entered the scene.

Looking at the man, Zain was unable to keep his eyes off him, staring at his face and cross-referencing him to the memories inside his head.

'I'm sure of it, I have never met this man before, ever in my entire life, yet I recognise his face, because of the vision that I recently had.' Zain thought.

Why had his vision shown him someone he had never seen before and now there was a man suddenly in front of him that matched his vision. Was this man really working for the Reborn group that Kun and the others were a part of?

"How could you all be struggling at a time like this?" The man said, as he walked forward. The strange zombies had their heads down as if they were in shame or being told off by a teacher.

"They... are like us." The gladiator man replied.

The old man was looking at Zain and the others, trying to see what the gladiator meant by this, as he saw him push his glasses back up onto the ridge of his nose, as something had caught his eye.

"I see... for today that is a valid excuse, but it just shows how far you all have to go still." The man said, as he walked out in front of them, but still stayed close to them all.

"All of you, I can only guess that you are either part of her creations, or have happened to resist a few parts of the virus. Either way, I suggest that you join us, the Dark Zombies, in our goal."

"Dark Zombies, who cares about your name!" Cube shouted. "Why would we join you after you just tried to kill us all?"

After what they had just seen, the death of the military and a few of the close friends that they had been travelling with, it was hard to say they felt safe in these strangers' hands, who in their eyes looked like monsters.

The man started to laugh.

"I think you have things a little wrong, I wasn't inviting you." The man then proceeded to point at Zain, he pointed at Kun, Pink, Cobra, War in the apartment, and even Jam, "My offer is only for them to join us."

Brandon and the others were left slightly confused by why the man had pointed at them, but for Kun, Pink and Zain it was quite clear, he had selected all of the zombies.

'This man, how much does he know? Is it safe to go along with him? The one thing that is clear, is that the zombies aren't attacking him. The Dark Zombies or whatever it is he calls them, they're not attacking him even though he's human."

While no one said anything, Brandon was looking for a way out. With Zain and the strong help of Cobra and the others, now it seemed like maybe they could fight if need be, or if they were to refuse, both sides would turn around due to the equivalent loss. However, Brandon wasn't saying anything because right now, he trusted Zain's judgement more than anything.

'For now... it's too risky to join another group. Not while we know nothing about them, and not while I'm not sure myself whether I'm the strongest in the group or not. Being controlled, or in an area where there is constant danger around us, is not a good deal.'

Which is why Zain opened his mouth and gave his answer.

"I'm sorry, but right now we won't be able to join your Dark Zombies. It seems... it would be best if both our groups went the other way."

The man signed as he heard this.

"I'm disappointed by your answer. Get... rid of them."

Those words had caused everyone to be on the defensive, it looked like they were going to have to fight after all. Strangely, it didn't look like any of the others they were fighting before were moving though.

"That was one offer that you shouldn't have refused."

For a second, it felt like the ground was shaking. Small explosions were heard a little ways away, as dust could be seen coming up from behind the barrier of cars behind the group. After that, coming through the same hole where the others had made, were what smelled like zombies. Only they had chains wrapped around their arms and legs.

There looked to be around three of them coming through the opening. They didn't look to be any more frightening than what they had been facing before, to be honest, but Zain felt like there had to be a reason.

A reason why this man was confident, a reason why the other zombies were still just standing there, and a reason why this was considered a platinum quest, and he had a feeling that these were them.

Jumping up in the air, the zombie with chains reached about ten metres in the sky before landing right in front of Dave, Martha and Cube. They stood behind Dave as he was ready to fire his gun.

Before he could, the zombie lifted its arm, and the chain around its wrist swung out, hitting all three of them in the head. As it did their skulls were crushed. It was so powerful that the chain had gone through like a knife, splitting all three of their heads in half.

"F*CKK!!!!" Brandon screamed, as he saw all three of them die and lifted his gun. Zain swung his sword, as a clash was heard. Hitting one of the chains in front of him. Brandon had failed to notice another one of the chained zombies come toward him.

However, even though Zain had blocked one strike, the other chain had hit Brandon in the head... killing him on the spot as well.
