For a second, Zain thought he might be acting a bit rash. This wasn't like him, to make a decision on a whim, to not make the best choice possible without all of the information first. Sure, he had seen signs that improved intelligence in his Horde meant they could understand more instructions, but there was no proof.

There was no proof that if their intelligence increased to a certain level, that they would be back to the way they were or that they would become a Reborn. In the first place, Zain's intelligence wasn't even that high, yet he could do these things.

For some reason though, when it came to a decision including Skittle, for a lot of those decisions, he would disregard his more thinking side and just did what he really wanted to do.

"Zain… Zain… Zain…" Skittle said back, opening his mouth. His hand slowly moved towards his lips and his own small arms were shaking. "Zain… I can speak… I can speak."

It was a large relief for Zain at that moment, but the feelings that he had expected weren't coming out. He imagined at this point and time he would have cried, it almost felt like he was crying yet his body wasn't reacting… doing nothing.

It was bringing the reality of the situation that his zombie self had changed him quite a bit.

"I can't believe it, it actually worked, you can speak right, do you remember everything that happened, everything that happened before?" Zain asked.

The others that were leading the way in the dark tunnel weren't so sure what was going on, but Pink and Kun gestured for the two not to get involved. Both Pink and Kun had seen the small zombie always by his side.

They knew that it was a mindless zombie, not able to do anything, but Zain always had a strong reaction when something occurred that was related to him. It was amazing to them as well, seeing this, seeing a zombie become like them. It gave them a sense of hope.

"I remember everything, Zain." Skittle answered. "I remember how we first met, I remember everything that happened at the Supermarket with Buke, and I can remember everything that happened while I was a zombie."

This came as a surprise to Zain, during the time together, he was unsure if he would know what the two had gone through, but it made it easier, it meant he didn't have to explain as much.

"You still are a zombie." Zain joked. "Just a clever one now."

"What did you do?" Skittle asked. "How did you fix me?"

n0𝗏𝖊𝐿𝑈𝐬𝒷.𝓬0𝗆

Hearing this question it was clear that although Skittle could remember everything they had been through together, he had no clue about the system and the rewards that it would give. The thing was Zain couldn't really explain it himself, it looked like none of the Reborn had the same thing.

"I'm not exactly sure… but I'm hoping I can find it with where we're going." Zain answered.

X and Sid were getting annoyed, and Zain could somewhat see this, besides now that Skittle could communicate, it just opened more questions for him. He wanted to head to the Reborn base as soon as possible himself.

While they walked, Skittle and Zain started to talk about the old days, the times before all of this mess started. It was an enjoyable experience for them both, but they gradually moved on to what happened during their fight for survival.

It was true Skittle really could remember everything that was happening, but the way he explained it, it was almost as if he was taking a back seat in his head. As if he was watching a movie, he could have thoughts that would try to influence the actions but they just weren't quite working the way he wanted them to.

Then, there were just instincts in the head that would take over, such as smell, eating another brain and so on.

After that, Zain introduced Skittle to the other two, Pink and Kun, who were both friendly. Skittle thanked them for all the help they had given Zain back then, and they had done the same for him. Kelly also gave her thanks but seemed to be a little more shy compared to the other two.

That's when Zain started to ask questions about what the Reborn group was like.

"We weren't there long, so none of us really know, but to answer some of your questions it seems like there are around 200, maybe more, Reborn that are like us." Pink answered. "It seems like from time to time, there are even scouts that are sent out that will find more Reborn like us."

200 was quite a small number considering how many zombies there were out there, and he had no clue how many demons were out there either. He was trying to figure out what was the goal in all of this.

"What about that man that we met before, and the Reborn zombies that were with him?" Zain asked. "Are they at the facility?"

When hearing this question, X turned his head.

"Man… and other Reborn. If you met with who I think you met, they are not part of the Reborn group."

From the aggressive tone in the voice, it sounded like X had a disliking for these other zombies that were like them, but that was to be expected after what had occured with them the last time as well, but why the two groups.

Were they against each other? There were so many things that didn't add up, and he knew that X's answer would be to wait until they reached the facility, and after a short while, they had done just that, as Zain stood in front of the large door.

"We're here." Zain said.

Just from the initial look outside of the facility Zain was pretty impressed. There was no damage to the facility at all, and to top it off, it looked like there was a lack of zombies in the area as well.

'Is it because there is a lack of humans here, or did the Reborn group clear them out?' Zain thought.

Currently, Zain had been told to wait outside while X and Sid headed inside. It was the standard procedure whenever a new person came to their hideout. The others had all experienced it.

Apart from Zain, they were told that they could come inside, but they had decided to stay outside, including Kelly. X allowed this for the time being as he went to explain the situation.

When inside, Sid and X had met up with Sarah, the head of the Reborn group, the only human present there and in her normal white lab clothes.

"I see, it seems like quite a lot happened on your journey, I am happy that I sent out the two of you, and I'm happy that you came back in one piece." Sarah replied. "What I'm most interested in is this new Reborn, if he's that strong he might even be better than Tork."

"Don't you think this might cause a problem if we let him in?" X asked. "The others that we brought in, they are staying by his side even now. Unlike those that we have looked after for a while now, they seem to have more loyalty to him, than to the Reborn group.

"If he becomes a pillar among the Reborn, then if anything was to happen in the future…"

"That is for me to worry about." Sarah replied. "We have to believe in people, and believe in their will to do what's best for the whole world."

With those words, a decision had been made and Sid as well as X went back to call in the others.

"Our leader has agreed to meet with you." X said as the door was slowly opening. "Everyone goes through an interview before meeting up with the others, and me and Sid will be by your side escorting you.

"The rest of you feel free to wait for him inside, as you usually would do."

The other three were slightly nervous because they knew at times Zain would do crazy things. If he was to stir up trouble and leave, they wanted to do so with him, but with a gesture from him, it seemed like he was okay.

"I have Skittle with me as well." Zain explained. "The two of us will be fine."

The whole group walked down the hallway before splitting off, Zain wasn't too worried as they had no idea the full extent of his capabilities, there were still plenty of zombies that he could summon if need be.

On top of that, he doubted anything would happen if he was right with his guess. Sid opened the door for him, heading into a small square room. Inside there were two chairs, and other Reborn group members.

When they went to sit in the chairs, both Sid and X went to stand quite close behind them, and as for who was in front of them, sitting in the chair opposite, it was of course Sarah.

When Zain had entered the room, he couldn't help but stare at her. He looked deeply into her eyes and continued to look all over, but didn't even notice the others in the room.

"Do you… know me?" Sarah asked, as she noticed just how deeply Zain was looking at her.

'This woman, although she looks a bit older, there is no doubt she is the same person that was in my vision, and if I was to gamble, I bet she was the same person that ran into me that time.' Zain thought, and was wondering just how he should play out this whole thing.

Since Zain hadn't said anything yet, Sarah went on to speak.

"I should explain a few of the basics here, but I assume your friends have already told you a lot." Sarah continued. "We are the Reborn Foundation, a group that focuses on gathering those that are like yourself. We look out for each other and work together to achieve our goal."n0𝑣𝚎𝓵𝓊𝑠𝓫.𝒸0𝑀

"Which is?" Zain asked, it was the first words out of his mouth. "Why… does the Reborn group exist, why do zombies exist, why do demons exist, and Sarah, what do you know about the man that controls the other zombies?"

Those in the room were now slightly on guard, and Sarah was looking at Zain one more time, to see if she recognised him at all. Because she didn't have her name badge on, there was no way that Zain should have known her name.

Although the others could have told him, the way he was saying these words…

Zain went to reach in under his armour and shirt, loosening it up, and X immediately went to grab his hand.

"What are you doing, do you think I'm going to try something?" Zain asked, and forcefully shook his hand off.

It was the first time X was experincing Zain's strength first hand and it was like he expected, Zain was different compared to the other Reborns. He continued and eventually pulled out a pendant that was around his neck that contained a crystal.

Something that he had kept on him for a while.

"For a while now, I wanted to meet the person who dropped this. I'm not sure if I'm right or not, but I have a feeling that it's because of this crystal, that I am what I am right now."

Zain soon took it off and placed it on the table.

"This belongs to you, correct?"

Sarha's eyes lit up as she saw the crystal and answered.

"It does."

Sarah's words were the confirmation that he needed. The pieces of what was happening to him, and everything else, were slowly coming together. Now that he had found the person that he was looking for, he could ask all the questions he wanted, especially about the system that just popped up stating he had completed a quest.

[Find 2/2 of the people that started the Zombie Apocalypse]

[Quest reward: 4 Silver cards.]

'Well, I wasn't expecting something like the diamond reward since there was no quest difficulty set with this, but 4 silver cards could also be good. It might just be a bunch of experience or stat points but everything is helpful in the end.'

After looking at the pendant intently, Sarah pushed it back toward Zain, and let out a big sigh.

"You must have a lot of questions." Sarah said. "There is a lot to explain to you, things that might confuse the others, so I think it's best if we walk around for a bit. I'll show you around the place." Sarah stated.

It was the first time that she had decided to show around a new Reborn, since their numbers had grown large in size, and she was willingly accepting him before asking him a number of questions.

To Sid and X, this scene felt oddly weird, but judging from the conversation they had overheard so far, it seemed like the two possibly knew each other.

Standing up from her seat, she made sure to inform the two as well as the others not to follow them again, and Zain quickly followed Sarah. He wasn't worried, he could smell that she was still a human.

Walking down the corridors, they were heading away from where the rest of the Reborn were, and instead they were heading to the second floor where her current lab was.

"First off, I want to say that I'm glad you are alive, and secondly, I'm sorry for getting you mixed up in all of this mess." These words were said just before Sarah pushed the door open to her lab, and inside there were a number of machines as well as different things wrapped up in containers and being monitored.

"I'm not the only one that works here, a few of the other Reborn also work and help out with the research, but they don't enter unless I'm here as well."

There were a number of different things that had caught Zain's eye immediately.

There were crystals around the place, all at different stages, and he could even see a stage three crystal being analysed.

At the same time, there was what looked like a piece of active meteorite, and then there were a few more shocking things. One was the tentacle of a demon, swirling about in a tube.

Eventually, in the room there was a resting table where the workers would have a coffee away from all the equipment. Sarah sat down and waited for Zain to join her.

"Alright… So where should I begin?" Sarah said as she placed her finger on her chin. There was just so much to talk about.

"Why don't we first talk about the zombies, the thing that started this whole thing." Zain said, and he wanted to add one more bit of information that he knew. "And the fact that you, and that man, were the one that started this whole thing."

It was clear that the news had shocked her, the person in front of her, out of his own curiosity had done some digging, or at least that's what she thought had happened.

"I was told about the fact that you met that man. I assume he has told you a few things?" Sarah asked.

Zain didn't want to say anything, otherwise he feared that the other might withhold information.

"The man that you met back then, the one in question, was a researcher like me who was part of the Reborn group, and to be more accurate, he was my husband." Sarah explained. "However, when you talk about us creating this zombie outbreak, that's not true at all, we were simply the ones that discovered it first.

"As part of the Reborn research group we were looking into ways of stopping what has happened from happening. We were also trying to find a cure, to turn those that had been turned back.

"We had done well to keep it all contained and our research was going well, all until the meteor strike had happened. There is a reason why when the meteorite strike appeared, that the zombie outbreak had occurred as well.

"One of the meteorites hit the facility, and those demons appeared. It caused an outbreak to occur, one that we couldn't, and the military couldn't, handle. At least not at the same time as these demons appearing, which is why the area, a little further than this town that we are in, has been completely cordoned and sealed off by the military."

It was hard for Zain to confirm if what Sarah was saying was the truth or not, but he did know a few things. Although many thought the zombie virus had started when the meteorites struck, that in itself was false.

Sarah confirmed this as well, then there was the fact that she and the man that he had met before had worked together. Once again, she had confirmed that with her explanation as well.n0𝓋𝚎𝗅𝓊𝗌𝐛.𝓬0𝕞

"Then what about the Reborn group now, why the Reborn zombies, why the evolution of zombies, and what of the demons' goal, or your own goal in creating this place?" Zain asked.

"I can answer all of those questions for you." Sarah replied. "But don't you want to know about yourself first, and why you became a Reborn, a Reborn with a system?"

Zain was interested in finding out about everything, more so than the average person for a few reasons. He had always played games preparing for a situation like this to happen, and he knew in the back of his mind that it was very unlikely that it would happen, at least during his lifetime.

Yet, here he was in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, and perhaps an alien attack as well. Not only that but he had become a zombie himself, one that was still sound of mind and had a game like system.n0𝐯𝓔𝗅𝔲𝗌𝐁.𝒸0𝓂

When putting things together, he somewhat felt like he had been chosen to do this, but was that even possible, would that even make sense, he was just a regular student.

"Alright." Zain replied. "Let's talk about this system I have, why me? Why am I the only one with a system unlike the rest of the Reborn?"

Sarah pointed to the pendant and crystal around his neck.

"The truth is, it is all an accident that you got involved in all of this, and I apologise, although you could also say because of this accident, it saved your life."

"Accident?" Zain repeated, his previous thoughts of being chosen were somewhat dashed.

"We already had reports that a meteor strike was coming that day. The general public were unaware of this and it was decided that if they told everyone at the last moment it would just cause a wide panic.

"We had run a simulation and somewhat predicted that due to the meteor strike that the zombie outbreak would occur. In order to keep everything in one place, it was the best thing to do, to not inform anyone.

"I was in a panic myself trying to get things sorted, trying to create a safe place for people, and those that would be like us, and on top of that, I didn't have time to test my prototype, the very thing that ended up in your hands."

Zain lifted the pendant up that was no longer glowing, he did remember it seemed like the scientist had dropped it at the time, and had just continued running forward.

"This crystal is what gave me the system in the end. And judging by what you said. I guess it was what allowed me to turn into a Reborn. I guess without it, that day when I was playing games in my room, when I got bit I would have just turned into a zombie."

Sarah could see the disheartened look on the young man's face.

"It's possible that you would have still become a Reborn anyway. During our time experimenting, we realised that the effect of the virus did three things. Turn people into zombies, turn them into Reborn, or grant them some type of superpower. In all of these, the same virus is shared in the body yet the outcome was different on a person to person basis."

"Wait, are you saying all those with powers have been bit?" Zain asked.

"Not quite." Sarah replied. "The virus is also airborne, but the particles that are emitted through the air compared to a bite are harmless. For most, they are unaffected by these particles while in others it causes them to have a drastic mutation in their body, I'll be honest further research needs to be done on that part."

It did make sense to Zain and explained why superhumans were harder to turn, because they already had a variant of the virus in their body.

"So what about the system, why did you create it and why was it in the crystal?" Zain asked.

"I was researching a way to make sure those that turned into a zombie would turn into a Reborn zombie. I felt like we would have less of a problem on our hands if we did so." Sarah explained. "As for the system itself, it was to not cause the person to panic.

"A way to help them navigate their new body, their new self and a way for them to come back here, so I could help them do more research. It's not perfect of course, which is why I said it was a prototype."

There were still so many questions on Zain's mind, but he thought he would continue on with the system.

"How does it even all work though?" Zain asked. "How are quests being granted, how am I getting rewards based on these quests that allow me to do certain things. I can create weapons, summon other zombies, control other zombies, and even with Skittle.

"He was just a regular zombie before, but now he's a Reborn just like me. Then there all these visions I keep having… I pass out all of sudden, and this man is trying to kill me."

Sarah at first tried to hide the fact that she was surprised, but as she heard more and more of Zain's words it was nearly impossible for her, she was frozen in place, her eyes wide. She shook her head trying to focus and get back to the young man before he panicked at her lack of answers.

"Zain… right? First, that man that you saw in your visions, the faceless man. He was a tutorial system that I set up. It was to teach the Reborn skills that they could use to survive. That man is based on a real person, but what you are seeing is just vision.

"However… when you speak I can sense a slight fear in your voice. I will need to ask for further details of your vision if you will allow me to, so I can see if there are any bugs and such.

"As for everything else you said, with rewards creating weapons… none of that was part of the System I created."

Right now, Zain was in front of the system creator, so he thought she would have the answers… but now what was she saying to him?

Before continuing on with the conversation with the shocked Zain, Sarah had gone ahead and reached for her laptop. There was a lot of information that she needed to record down because, unknown to her, the system she herself had created had somewhat evolved into something else entirely.

"I know you might not fully trust me, but I have told you nothing but the truth so far. If you really want to know what is happening, and continue surviving in this world, while you protect those around you, then it's best that you tell me everything so we can get through this together.

"I'm the best chance that you have."

Zain sat there in silence for a while, he never wished to tell anyone the secret about his system. There was fear in the back of his mind, that maybe someone else would try to obtain it, or somehow use it as a weakness against him.

Trust was a hard thing, this new world had caused him to lose a lot of trust and even one of his best friends turned against them. It was why it was difficult for him to give an answer straight away.

Yet this person in front of him clearly knew about the system, and he had more to gain out of this relationship than to lose.

"Okay, let's work together. I'll try my best to explain everything, and in turn you have to help me, with these visions that I keep having and tell me what you plan to do with this Reborn group, the real goal." Zain asked.

"Of course."

Typing away, Sarah was writing down everything that Zain had told her, how the system worked at the beginning, how the stats affected his body, and how he figured out that eating a person's brain was a main component when it came to keeping his body stable and working as well as it did.

Of course he went into detail about some of his powers, being a control type and the quest rewards but didn't go into complete detail. For one, Zain didn't tell her what his current stats were nor about the zombies that he had in his possession.

At the same time, he didn't tell her that he had superhumans that had been turned into zombies in his Horde as well. He made sure to tell her just enough so she was able to figure everything out, while not revealing all of his trump cards.

Sarah went ahead and uploaded her notes to the main server, it looked like she was running a type of analysis. Since she created the original system, she was able to compare the differences and hopefully figure out why Zain was the way he was.

After that, she continued with her notes, as they moved on to the visions that Zain had in his head. He explained as far back as when the visions occured. Sarah was asking him about any links, was it every time he touched an item, and what he got out of those visions, apart from a fear of faceless man.

"This is amazing." Sarah said as she finished typing up her notes and hit the enter button. At the same time the original analysis had come back from her main server.

"Have you got an answer then?" Zain asked.

n0𝑽𝑒𝓁𝓤𝓈𝒃.𝒸0𝗆

"I have an answer." Sarah replied. "But I have to warn you, what I have is just an answer, it might not be the correct one, but is based on all the information we currently have, and I hope you don't mind, but I pulled up information from your personal life as well."

If Zain had a heart beat it would have started racing right there and then.

'She is going to see everything about my personal life… if she finds out about that, then… what will she do with me?' Zain thought.

In a way, he was in too deep now though and had to just see how things rolled. Worst case he would attempt to escape this place by summoning his horde.

"Don't look so shocked." Sarah said. "All information can do is help you, don't worry it's not going to kill you. Anyway, my guess is that you must have unlocked a power. A power just like those that are superhuman that we talked about.

"If it is the case, it is the first case of its kind, but you see the abilities and powers one unlocks have a lot to do with the person and they differ greatly. A person who likes to travel a lot, may get the power to teleport.

"One who feels free like a bird, and always wished to be in the sky might get the ability of flight and so on. From what you told me, you loved to play games and in particular survival games.

"All of that, mixed in with the crystal, my system and your special case, would allow for the perfect set of circumstances to create… well, you."

Zain thought about what Sarah was saying, and since it was the only explanation they had so far, he was quite inclined to believe it.

"I want to change what I said before, when I said that the crystal falling into your hands was an accident, because from your history, and everything you said, it seemed like you were the perfect person to obtain the crystal and that is why you are here today.

"If someone else had gotten the crystal, well, I would assume that they would be dead by now and I would have never got to learn of the possibilities of my invention."

Seeing Sarah smile like so, Zain felt like it was a genuine smile, he wanted to believe her, he wanted to trust her and he was getting sucked in.

"So we somewhat cleared up how the system worked… but then what about those visions I had?" Zain asked.

Sarah closed the laptop, and in doing so the look on her face had changed.

"This is also a theory… but I will do my best to explain, I also think this has something to do with your past."

Hearing what Sarah said before, there was no doubt that she had managed to get files about him on everything. The schools already knew before, the university knew, so judging by her access or way of gathering information she must have known as well.

The problem with reports was the fact that they didn't tell the whole story. They would have the main points, but not the full report.

"Are you worried, Zain?" Sarah suddenly asked as without realising it, he hadn't said anything for a while. "If you worried about what I saw…"

After hearing those words, there was almost a ring in Zain's head, it was so loud that the rest of Sarah's words were drowned out. Flickering memories had appeared in his head at that moment.

In the past, whenever someone had learned the truth about Zain, about what he had done, they started to treat him differently. There were some that attempted to hide it, but it was impossible for them to.

It was the same even in school. HIs past, which was meant to be kept hidden, had somehow gotten out among the other students. An interesting past like his would always come out and spread like so. It was expected among young kids, but the worst offenders were actually the adults and the parents.

Zain could hear them all talking about it, and the parents demanded to be protected from a child like him. They had even formed a protest group. They held banners outside of the school, while forcing their children to not attend.

In the end, the school could do nothing but kick Zain out, transferring him to another place, in the hope that his secret wouldn't come out.

It was because of this difference in treatment, that Zain had only managed to make two very close friends, in Buke and Skittle. Both of them knew about Zain's past, and regardless of that, they were the only ones that didn't treat him any differently.

They were better than his family, better than the adults around, they meant everything to him and it was why he felt somewhat guilty for hesitating even a second before using the Diamond reward on Skittle.

"Zain!…Zain!" Sarah shouted and reached out grabbing his hand. The second she did, he seemed to snap out of his flashes of memories of the past. He looked down and noticed that she was holding onto him with no fear.

Even though she knew he was a zombie, she was a human and even though she knew about his past as well.

"Did you just have one of those visions right now, is that what happened?" Sarah asked.

"It's not that, I was just thinking of the past." Zain replied, as he pulled his hand away, uncomfortable with the touch. Although his sense of feeling was extremely dulled, he still didn't like it.

"Zain you don't have to worry, the report doesn't tell the entire story of what happened, and believe me I know things can be complicated when we don't get the full story." Sarah explained. "Besides, even if you did do something bad in the past, people can change, and sometimes it can be for the worse rather than for the better."

From the tone of her voice, it sounded like she was speaking from experience, and Zain could only imagine it had something to do with the strange man, the other one that was said to be responsible for the virus.

"What happened to you, happened at a very young age, and although it might have felt like it didn't affect you, there is no doubt in my mind that there is trauma there even if it's been hidden deep within your mind." Sarah explained.

"You see, the system was designed to set up a number of tutorials for the user. How to use certain weapons, how to fire a gun. It was a simulation that was run through the mind, run through dreams of the person. To do this the system had to go into the users subconsciousness.

"In your case, I believe during those tutorials that had been set up, they were being interfered with by your real mind. Mixing in your past with what was happening. Without realising it, your memories of what happened in the past are strong, so strong that it even caused the tutorial to act a certain way."

When thinking about it, he had come back with knowledge, how to use weapons, how to use a gun and so on. The faceless man wasn't someone he recognised and at times the voice sounded similar, yet different.

Then there was one thing that made Sarah say was very likely, the fact that when he assessed the tutorials at times he was in the body of a child. He was around the same age as when that event happened.

'My hands, they would sometimes be covered in blood as well… this woman, she really has managed to figure it all out.'

"Is there a way to stop them? And before you said the faceless man I saw was based on someone." Zain asked.

"Stopping them honestly will be difficult. The only thing that I could do is wait for you to have one of these visions and observe from there. Then perhaps we could stop it, but there is next to no pattern of when these occur.

"As for the faceless man, he was a part of the Reborn group, before all of this happened. He was one of the best agents we had, the most skilled, the best fighter and more . Unfortunately he had turned into a Reborn, and in an accident, had lost his face.

"Still, his skills had improved compared to before, once he had turned into a Reborn, and while me and my partner were still working together, he was the basis for the tutorials. In the original Reborn group, not what it is today, there was a split in our forces, a split between me and my partner and the faceless man decided to go with him."

"And this partner?" Zain asked, thinking back to one of the visions he had, the vision of when he saw Sarah and the man in the lab, and the name on his lab coat. "Was it the man that tried to kill me, the man named Hanfree?"

Sarah looked surprised but less so than before, somehow Zain kept bringing up things that she didn't expect, one after the other. It just made her think that he truly was a special person.

"Yes, you are right, that man is Hanfree Bain, and he is my husband who helped me work on the system and the Reborn group, but he has a very different goal from me, and we now no longer work together."

There was a slight thought in Zain's mind when he had received the system, that perhaps there was a goal behind it, something that it wanted him to do. Now that he had met the creator, he thought that she might know what that goal was.

Or perhaps there was a large server-like machine where she could input the quests into it, and it would direct him where he was going. Yet in the end, after meeting one of the creators, he seemed quite disappointed by the answer.

Still, he couldn't shake off this feeling that the system maybe had grown beyond what the creators had intended and it had its own purposes, because why would it show him visions of the past, of the lives of the creators. On top of that, why would it tell him to meet the two creators of the whole zombie mess in the first place.

It was almost as if the system wanted him to learn the truth.

"So, let me just make sure I have my facts right." Zain stated. "You, Sarah Bain and Hanfree Bain were both working on the Reborn project, a project to try and control the zombie virus and learn what it does.

"In turn you both created the system together, a way to make sure that zombies would turn into Reborn zombies like me. I was the prototype but it was too late. The meteor strike that had brought these demons over had managed to disturb one of your facilities allowing for the outbreak to happen. Is that right so far?"

Sarah nodded.

"Then, what do you mean when you say that the two of you went your separate ways? Why isn't he helping you now with the Reborn Group, and what are you and him even trying to do still with the Reborn group if your mission already failed?" Zain asked.

Sarah took a moment to answer, he wondered if it was a complicated matter for her because of who was involved, her husband, or the fact that she was trying to come up with some lie that could put all of the pieces together.

"When you first came, you asked me if I was responsible for creating the zombie virus. I told you that I wasn't and I more so discovered it, but that doesn't change one fact. I still feel responsible for the zombie virus.

"The Reborn Zombies, I feel like have been dragged in the middle of all of this when they didn't ask for it. Most of them here at the facility aren't part of the military of any sort or are just like you, a normal student.

"I am still trying to complete my goal, and that is creating a cure, to turn the zombies back to humans. I believe that studying the Reborn is the closest to that. The fact that you have told me that you were able to make a regular zombie into one like yourself, a Reborn, makes me believe even more in that goal.

"Those that stayed with me, those that are close to me at this facility and the ones that regularly go out on these missions, also believe in the goal. You see, some of the zombies have naturally become more developed and we split these into different stages.

"What we have found is that different stage zombies produce different crystals, and the crystals seem to be the key to helping out the Reborn into evolving. I am hoping to understand the Reborn, and the zombies by studying all of these crystals."

What Sarah had said so far seemed to be true based on Zain's own experience as well, as he had found the crystals helped improve the others, while himself, the crystal in the zombies seemed to disappear into exp through the system for him.

"For your second question, as I said, me and my husband, or ex-husband unofficially, our goals greatly differ. He wishes to use the crystals to power the zombies, to create an army of super zombies and in doing so, get rid of the demons that are here.

"Why he had attacked you back then, I have no idea, maybe he was low on brains to feed his force, or he thought he could get something out of attacking you."

That answer for Zain wasn't good enough, because those explanations in his head didn't make any sense, and there was something else he didn't mention why he was left alive.

"I have answered all of your questions to the best of my ability and I have explained what we do here as well as what we can do to help you. Now it is up to you to decide, do you and your friend wish to help us, help us find a way to turn you back to human." Sarah asked with a smile.please visit

When she had put it that way, the answer seemed simple… but he still looked at Skittle for confirmation.

"Zain, I will go wherever you go, you know that."

——n0𝚟𝔢𝑳𝔲𝚜𝗯.𝔠0𝑀

Inside the facility, Kun, Pink and Kelly were all waiting patiently to see if Zain would stay or at least had been accepted into the facility. It had been a long time, a lot longer than when they had first arrived, and were starting to think if they would have to leave the facility to try and search for Zain again.

Just then, Sid had opened the door, and in doing so they could see a small short zombie and a redhead standing next to him.

"Zain!" Pink shouted.

Going over to where the others were, Zain looked at them all.

"It looks like I will be in the Reborn group… for now." Zain stated.

Up above, watching everything on the third floor through a one-way glass window, Sarah was looking at everything, and by her side X was standing there as well.

"People seem to gather around him and trust him quite a bit, and his strength is not something to laugh at." X said. "Don't you think he could become a dangerous influence if he found out the truth?"

"For now it's fine, it's better that he is here with us, rather than on his side."

Joining the Reborn group in some way had brought back a bit of normality to Zain, and everyone else's life. They were able to feel safe and not witness what was going on in the outside world.

At the same time, everyone was learning more about each other. Now that Skittle could speak, often Skittle would speak about stories from when they were at school, or at the University. They were nice to hear, even for Kelly, as she remembered what the school was like, and for Kun it reminded him of his younger days as well.

Pink was a bit upset, she was younger than the others and hadn't gone to University yet, but with most of her family gone and away from her, she just liked being with everyone else, as this was, in a way, her family now.n0𝚟𝚎𝗅𝔲𝗌𝓑.𝗰0𝑚

When speaking, there did seem to be one sore subject for Zain though, and it was memories containing Buke. Skittle was still speaking of him quite highly, and although Zain didn't stop him from doing so, he would quiet down once the name was mentioned.

After all, Zain could only imagine that Buke was out there somewhere walking as a zombie, or more likely having already been killed by those trying to survive.

Regardless, they focused their time on the Reborn group. The newcomers, as they were described by the other Reborns that were there, spent most of their time together and away from getting to know the others.

This was quite normal, and nearly everyone did it when they first joined the Reborn group, sticking to those that they did know.

There was another reason though, since they were newcomers, they didn't get sent on missions so often, or sent out exploring like the other groups. They needed to settle in, and learn more, such as fighting techniques, paths, information and so on.

In the meantime, Kelly was also constantly being monitored by Sarah. She had told Zain that she wished to solve her problems before getting to the bottom of Zain's visions, and since he hadn't had any in a while anyway, he was okay with that.

One thing that they did have to take part in with everyone else though was training. There were many types, learning how to build makeshift bombs, how the basics of electronics worked, making a makeshift battery and so on.

Zain was interested in a lot of it, and Skittle seemed to pick up things to do with electronics fairly easily. Whether it was because his intelligence was now higher, or because he was smart before this he was unsure.

Out of all the things, there was still one thing that he wasn't interested in, and that was the physical training. A lot of it was conditioning training, to improve one's fitness and there were also combat lessons, but for Zain, the lessons weren't advanced enough.

It was just a waste of time in his eyes, so he performed the actions half-heartedly, and this had caught the eye of the instructor Wix.

"You need to put in more effort, Zain!" Wix shouted. "I was told that you were a talented one, that managed to defeat a demon on its own, but if this is all you can do, then I can only guess that you were lucky."

Wix wasn't a bad person, but his body frame, and military style uniform reminded him a lot of the faceless man, and that was someone Zain didn't like, so at times a bit of his anger would come out.

The other Reborn had heard the comment Wix had made, and those that had met with demons before couldn't quite believe their ears.

"That has to be a lie right, he took out a demon on his own?"

"Is there anyone in the facility that could even do that?"

"Maybe Mr X, or Sid... not all demons are the same strength but still, if he was able to do something like that, it would make him one of the strongest in here."

Based on their experience, they could only imagine one of them defeating a demon if it was heavily injured but either way one would still have to be quite strong.

"I'm sorry, but I don't like to waste my time." Zain replied. "I think it might be better if I was to train on my own, or maybe be allowed to go outside during this time."

For Zain completing quests was most important for gaining exp, or gaining crystals. The only upside was while he was inside, he was gaining passive exp from the territories he had on the outside.

"You really think you have nothing to learn from this class, is that what you have observed after these few days?" Wiz asked.

Zain nodded in response, staying honest, because he really did want to get out of there.

"Fine, we needed to do this at some point anyway. There will be a change of lesson for today!" Wix shouted to them all. "In this facility it is important to know our place and where we stand in terms of strength.

"This is a group where you will need to rely on the person by your side, and we need to pick the right people for the right tasks, so it's important we evaluate everyone's strength, so we will have a spar, but you won't be going against each other.

"Since Zain says there is nothing for him to learn, then you are to show him he is wrong. One by one, use your skills to show to Zain what you have learned in your lessons to defeat him in sparring." Wix smiled.

"Danny, you're up first"

A man, with a sleeveless shirt and a bullet proof vest came forward. He had a large bite mark in his arm, where he had been bit. He was also a Reborn student who had been at the facility for a while now, so it was quite clear that Wix wanted to teach him a lesson with the first student.

[New quest received]

[Win the sparring match against the Reborn]

[Reward: Bronze card]

'Oh, now this might be something worthwhile after all.'

"Let's hurry this up." Zain said.

The spar wasn't your typical spar and that was because the opponents involved were not normal either. Any use of weapons was allowed apart from guns. Guns in the first place were a weapon that wasn't used by much in the Reborn group and Zain could understand why.

They weren't effective against demons nor any zombie that was above the 2nd stage. Using them as well would just attract a horde of zombies including the higher stage zombies.

It was best to train the Reborn to use their new talents. As for why weapons were allowed, it again was to simulate a real battle that they might have. Besides, even if they were injured by having a limb cut off or so, they wouldn't feel any pain, and as long as the body part was still present, it could be reattached.n0𝗏𝓮𝓵𝒰𝓢𝒷.𝒸0𝚖

After eating some food, the Reborn bodies would start to heal the detached limb. However, if a body part was burnt as such, then they were unable to regrow that part of the body, they could only reattach it.

This meant there was one more rule as well, no strikes to the head. The last thing Sarah wanted was for the Reborn to kill each other, there were enough creatures and things out there attempting to do that.

Zain wasn't going to go easy on his opponent who was wielding a large metal rod, in turn Zain had summoned the two weapons to his hands, the two swords that appeared out of nowhere.

"What the… does he have some type of ability?" The zombies were curious.

"But, I've never met a zombie with an ability before."

"I think I have." Another replied. "But they weren't a Reborn zombie, they were one of those Zombie Hunters that had a power before and then they turned, but they still weren't like one of us a Reborn, maybe this guy really is special."

Zain could hear the others talking, and he felt like there was no need to hide his power, at least this part of it, he still kept the big surprises for emergency situations, such as being able to summon a zombie horde filled with super zombies. Who knew what the future would bring, maybe there would be a time when he would have to go against the Reborn group.

"The weapons he has in his hands as well, they don't look normal, they almost look like they're out of some video game."

This comment made Zain inwardly happy the most, he thought the same thing, and he greatly appreciated the fact that there were others who were in awe over them.

"You should pay more attention, the fight can start at any moment!" Danny launched forward with a long metal rod in his hand, he held it with both hands to get more power in his swing.

Instead of swinging it from the side like a baseball bat, he had it above his head, like one would do in kendo. Swinging it, he struck diagonally across, but managed to hit nothing but the air.

"You are a bit too slow." Zain said, as he gave a powerful kick to the side of his legs, one leg crashed into the other that made him topple to his side on the ground. Before he knew it, a heavy weight was on his chest.

Zain had his knee and whole body weight on top of him, while having the sword pointed at his neck. The fight was over, and it had ended in only a few seconds.

"Hey, what the hell, how did something like that end so fast?"

"Yeah, isn't there supposed to be a whole load of swinging, bashing, and punches before it gets to this point."

The Reborn trainees were confused because this hadn't happened before. Usually, Wix would allow them to spar with those that were the same level or slightly better than them. There was no point getting someone so advanced or above them to fight.

They wouldn't be able to learn or understand what had happened, but this was exactly what happened when there were two opponents that were no match for each other.

[Bronze card received]

[Would you like to use your bronze card]

[2000 exp points awarded]

[You have levelled up, you are now level 17]

Zain had levelled up a few times after defeating the demons, he didn't just get the diamond reward but he had left most of his stat points he had earned unused. So far intelligence had been one of the better ones for him to level up while he was outside.

This was because it allowed his body to deteriorate slower and seemed to be linked to how many zombies he could control.

In here though, the horde wasn't with him, it didn't need to be used, and there was no lack of brains he could eat, which is why he had decided to give his stats a little boost in the strength and agility department.

Strength: 10

Agility: 10

Intelligence: 15

Endurance: 7

'With my stats now, I'm just as fast as Cobra is as well. It's a shame that they can't fight against these guys here and increase their strength as well. The original plan was to make an unbeatable undead army, and somehow I've ended up becoming the strongest one. Oh well, I can't do anything about it now.'

"Wix, I'm guessing there are a few more that are still willing to spar me?" Zain asked.

Out of stubbornness, Wix called out another opponent, and although they had fared a bit better against Zain, it had ended in the same type of defeat. There were three more losses and it meant Zain had gained three more Bronze cards, getting him exp each time.

'This is crazy, this guy is just as strong as the agents. Other than myself, or those not in the training room, I don't think there is anyone that can beat him.' Wix thought.

"Is it okay, if we give it a go." Pink said with her hand raised, and Kun was standing by her side as well.

'Oh, his friends are interested as well, I guess it would be a good chance to see how strong they are as well.' Wix thought, since his original plan of teaching Zain a lesson hadn't worked out, but he needed to look into new things, this wasn't a bad thing… it was a good thing they had someone strong join this time.

Now, Wix just wanted to know how strong were the others that had joined.

The first one to step up toward the centre, was Kun, even though Pink was more eager, but Kun had insisted that he be the one to fight Zain first, because he felt like in terms of combat, he was actually worse than Pink, who was incredibly talented at fighting before becoming a Reborn zombie.

"My specialty is guns, but the rule states no guns, so I'm just going to have to go with my bare hands." Kun said.

[Optional quest received]

[Defeat your opponent: Bronze reward]

[Defeat your opponent with no weapons: Silver award]

"I'll be fair, there might be a time where I have no weapons on me, and I will have to use just my fists." Zain said, as the weapons disappeared into his inventory as quickly as they had appeared.

Those around him were still amazed by this and the weapons themselves, as in the last few fights they had seen, anything the swords clashed against, they would break right through them.

'If the system has decided to give me a silver reward for defeating Kun, then that must mean it thinks he's a level above all the rest of the Reborn.' Zain thought.

"Don't think this will be a walk in the park." Kun stated. "While we were separated from you, we did our best to consume and absorb as many crystals as we could find, so you might be quite surprised.

Kun dashed forward and it looked like he was going for an overhead right, towards Zain's chest, since they weren't allowed to hit in the head. In order to test his opponent's strength Zain wanted to block the hit, but that was when he was suddenly kicked in the stomach instead.

HIs body slid, being pushed back a little, but Zain was in no pain, when he looked through his guard, he could see that Kun was already keeping his distance.

'In and out.' Wix commented, watching the fight carefully. 'That and surprise attacks, is the only thing one can do, when the opponent they are going up against is faster and stronger than you. I remember Kun, he was part of the Reborn group like me, so he already knows the standard hand to hand combat basics, but he was never one to excel with them, he was more the type of person to use their head.'

Zain didn't charge forward, because he thought it would be good for him to learn as well, to see the different ways to fight an opponent. So far he had been fighting, practically monsters, but there would be times where he would have to go against those that were more human.

Once again, Kun rushed forward this time going for an uppercut towards his ribs. With his new strength he could break them in one hit, and although zombies didn't feel pain, broken bones still affected them.

Carefully Zain watched the small movements, the twitch of Kun's muscles and could see where the attack was going. Swinging his arm down, with his elbow pointed, Zain mashed it right into Kun's fist.

A loud crack was heard, his fist was clearly broken, but Kun also didn't feel pain and continued on with the same kick as before, only this time the leg had been caught.

"I caught you before you could get away!" Zain said, as he pushed forward. He could have easily overpowered him with his strength or charged in with his speed, instead Zain went to throw a punch toward Kun's chest.

Kun lifted both hands in a cross to block, but a large foot was felt right in his stomach, pushing him over and he could soon see the ceiling above, not only that but his entire body slid across the floor.

"F*ck!" Kun struggled to say as it felt like his diaphragm had been messed up slightly.

Zain had tried to hold back, but was caught up in the moment and kicked Kun a little too hard, and it was clear the match was over as Kun didn't get off the floor for a good few moments.

'Fighting in the open like this is the worst scenario for someone like Kun. His speed and strength is perhaps as good as mine.' Wix thought. 'But he has no talent in putting strength behind his hits. Fighting in a warehouse, a kitchen, anything where he could use the environment to his benefit is where Kun shines, but it's interesting to see someone from the outside that just joined to be this far along in Reborn development.

'What's crazier is how much stronger this Zain guy is, just how many crystals did he absorb to get this far along. If I was to guess, he has to be similar to a stage 3? Which means he could be hiding a special skill of some sort? And I'm not talking about his little trick to make weapons appear and disappear.'

[Silver reward has been received]

[Would you like to use the silver card?]

[Yes]

[Reward received: Hand to hand combat Lvl 1]

Images started to flash in Zain's head of a soldier fighting, it looked a bit like the way Kun fought and what Wix was teaching, but had brillant form. While looking at these movements, his muscles were twitching, trying his best to follow along.

'That's quite a handy reward, after learning the basics, it's easy to level up the different skills, just like with the sword mastery and gun mastery. This was the type of training I needed.'

"I guess I'm next." Pink said, walking forward. "And I think it's best if you use your weapons against me."

There was another reason why Kun wanted to go first. Although the two of them would mostly share crystals, a lot of the time Kun gave his to Pink to use. There were times where he felt he wasn't getting a lot of benefit, while Pink felt like she was close to a breakthrough, and one day that breakthrough had happened.

She was unable to show her skills against the demon, because she was too distracted, but today she would show her skills.

Pink and Kun were two of Zain's first true allies in this world. He hated to admit it, but he had grown to like them and because of that, he had shown both of them how to use the crystals to grow stronger.n0𝐕𝗲𝓛𝑈𝗌𝒷.𝐂0𝑀

Based on what he saw, Zain believed that the two of them had the potential to grow, and as a result increase his chance of survival. After all, a group was the basis of survival as each person did what they were specialised at.

Surviving on your own would be difficult no matter who you were, even for him, but the two of them somewhat seemed to rely on him, more so than they realised, and with his split, in a way he was hoping for this to happen.

'Kun already surprised me with his strength and speed even though hand- to-hand fighting isn't his speciality, but you Pink, you are strong enough to make the system give me a gold card for defeating you. You must have really improved.'

It was a stark difference compared to fighting against Kun, because when the quest popped up for him, to receive a silver award he had to win without the use of his weapons, but here the system just stated that it wished for him to win.

'Let's trust the system, and not go easy on Pink.' Zain thought as he manifested the two weapons into his hands.

'From what I remember before, she was a taekwondo expert, so she was good at using her legs. When she absorbed the crystals, she was close to the Enhancement type of zombie as well.'

Taking a look at Pink in the centre though, he noticed that she wasn't wearing her special boots that she had before. Those that would allow her to hide a small blade in the tip. Strangely, she was now just wearing plain trainers for comfort, at least she was until a few seconds ago.

Immediately she started to take them off and flung them to the side, revealing her bare legs, as she continued to wear a skirt.

"Thank you for taking me seriously, after losing my family… I don't want to lose anyone else, and that includes you Zain, so I want to show you how much I've improved."

From the tip of Pink toes, her skin started to change colour, it started to turn black and thicken. The black skin started to shine slightly like a piece of armour and went right up to her knee.

'This substance around her leg, it looks like the same thing around the Titans, and the same thing that my Titan blade is made out of?' Zain noticed. 'Is this something she can do now, after absorbing all of those crystals?'

Zain was bang on with his guess, and Wix didn't look too surprised to see this, unlike some of the other Reborn.

'She can do an enhancement… I was hopeful for her since she seemed to be the most skilled during the training, but this is beyond what I expected. Just what did these guys go through to get so strong on their own. How were they able to find out about the crystal power without anyone telling them?' Wix thought.

Either way, it would mean that now this fight wouldn't be as one sided as the others.

"Let's start this!" Pink shouted, running in. It looked as if she was just going to try her best with her legs, but when she reached Zain, she jumped up in the air and spun her body. She was high up in the air, and the spinning kick went right towards his head.

"If you have that armour on your leg, then I don't have to worry about hurting you, not that I was in the first place!" Zain shouted back, as he swung the Titan machete as well.

It slammed into Pink's kick, but there was a clear winner when it came to power, Zain's arm was forced into swinging downward. When Pink landed on the floor, she spun her leg across the floor, sweeping it, and hitting both of Zain's legs, causing him to fall on his back.

Standing up, Pink lifted her foot in the air, and swung it down, her heel aiming right towards his chest. Rolling to the side, and kicking off the ground, Zain managed to get back up on his feet to see Pink's heel stuck in the floor right where he was.

'I lost in a battle of strength?' Zain thought, but calmed himself down as he thought about it more logically. 'Legs are able to produce far more power than arms in the first place. She also spun in the air giving her more momentum.

'On top of that, she is an enhancement type. As she absorbed more crystals, her stats were what was going to increase the most. I was foolish to try and go up against her head to head.'

This time, Zain was the one that charged in, after collecting his thoughts. When he was just in range, Pink went to kick his forearm aiming to break them. If she got rid of his arms, then he would no longer be able to use the strange swords that seemed to be just as strong as her legs.

"I have improved in more ways than just my strength!" Zain said, as he leaned back a bit, avoiding most of the weight of the kick, then he swung the Titan sword following the leg just behind it.

[Sword mastery level 4]

Scraping the back of her leg with his weapon, he was able to somewhat parry it and force it where he wanted it to go, lifting her leg from the bottom, he made her go off balance for a second, and in that moment, there was one more thing Zain had on him, the element of surprise.

In his other hand, the white sword had suddenly become a large spear. Pink, this whole time, was keeping her distance away from the swords, but now she had a spear shoved right through her stomach.

"You told me not to hold back." Zain simled.

After the spear had penetrated Pink's stomach, although she could still continue to fight, she knew it was over, with Zain's speed and strength, he could make sure she was unbalanced, and would be able to charge in and chop her head off, which was why she had decided that it was the end of her battle.

No words needed to be spoken between the two, instead Zain had just received a message from his system.

[Quest complete]

[You have received a gold card]

[Would you like to use the gold card]

Taking the spear out from Pink, it looked like some of the other recruits had been told to bring some flesh by Wix, before things continued. This would give Pink a chance for her body to heal the now big hole in her stomach.

'This fight, it was won because of my sword mastery.' Zain thought.

It was clear as day that Pink was more skilled when it came to fighting, her skills were the very best he had ever come across, the first attack alone showed that. Even with Zain's speed and strength, she would have been able to overcome both of those.

However, due to his sword mastery, Zain could follow her movements, it was as if his instincts were telling him when he needed to go in and out, how to parry the leg and when to use the force against herself.

The high level of sword mastery Zain currently had, made it so his skill level was above hers. Without it, he thought the match could have turned out to be very different. Meanwhile Pink was thinking along similar lines, but in the opposite way.

'Zain is so strong… he has managed to improve and carry on improving, I thought I might have caught up with him, but he isn't even a fighter. His strength lies in the zombies that he can control. Everyone here has no idea how strong Zain really is. I'm glad that I chose to follow him.

'This gives me a goal, and a reason to keep getting stronger.' Pink thought.

Not waiting around, Zain decided to use the gold card and see what the reward was right away. Right now, he felt like he was hitting jackpot after jackpot with all these sparring sessions giving him rewards.

[Gold card has been used]

[You may level up any mastery by 1]

'This reward is great, it might not seem like a big thing if I was to get it early on, but right now, my sword mastery has been stuck on level 4, unable to improve. There are also a few other masteries that I could level up that are hard to come by, but as masteries go up in level they become harder to level up, so I know which one to choose straight away.'

[You have levelled up Sword Mastery]

[Sword mastery is now level 5]

[You have reached max level of sword mastery]n0𝐕𝗲𝓛𝑈𝗌𝒷.𝐂0𝑀

[It can no longer level up]

'The max level, I see, so the max that stats can increase to is 50 according to the system and level 5 for the masteries. Now that my sword mastery is at its max, I should use my dagger, hand to hand, and gun mastery more often. These are the most useful to me.

'Then if I really need to, I can use my swords. Otherwise, I'll just be wasting exp… come to think of it, I can still go to that place. I had put it on pause after reaching wave 10, but who knows if I'll ever be able to go back there again, since I don't have a return key.'

The flesh had arrived and PInk had no trouble gobbling it down. Gone were the days where she would struggle to eat flesh. Soon her body was reacting and at a slow pace it was healing the wound.

"So Kelly, I'm guessing that means you're up next." Kun smiled.

"What, me? Fight against Zain? If you guys don't stand a chance, then it would be the same for me, and besides I'm not much of a fighter in the first place." Kelly replied.

Although she did say that, there were a few instances when travelling together they got to witness Kelly's strength. If anything, the one thing that was holding her back was her personality. If she did go up against Zain the way she was now, it would show next to no benefit.

"It's okay, I think we all have an idea of how strong this person is." Wix said walking toward the centre, he started to take off his army-like uniform revealing just a vest underneath. It covered his chest but revealed his arms from the shoulder down. They were covered in bite marks, while being muscular at the same time.

"It's time for you to face the instructor. If you manage to beat me Zain, then I will allow you to have free reign to train as you wish., After all, like you said, then you will have nothing to learn from me, but if you end up losing, then I expect you to never speak up again."

Swinging his arms out, and lifting them up in a type of boxing stance just like with Pink, they started to cover in the same hard black material right up to his elbow.

[Defeat instructor Wix]

[Reward Gold Card]

"Alright, you have a deal!" Zain said, as he went in trying to finish this quickly. Since he had already transformed the white sword once into a spear he now had an awkward spear and Titan sword in his hands.

It was a mistake on Zain's behalf because his sword mastery skills didn't transfer to his spear skills. Thrusting it forward it was easy for Wix to avoid. Zain then swung the sword, but still with the spear in his other hand, things felt slightly off, it gave a chance for Wix to pivot and as he did he threw out a large hook, from his toes to his waist he spun into it and slammed right into Zain's forearm breaking the bone.

Before Zain could retaliate Wix jumped back out.

"Now with a broken arm, you won't be able to use your sword so well. I think I might have the upper hand in this match." Wix smiled, but that smile soon disappeared.

Right in front of his eyes, he was witnessing the quick healing speed of the Reborn named Zain Talen, his bones that were cracked, his forearm that bent in two places, was coming back together and was as good as new.

"Just what type of zombie are you?" Wix asked.

Reborn Zombies didn't feel pain and they were able to heal themselves from extraordinary wounds. There was a limit to what could be done with their healing, but in most cases as long as the body part wasn't missing and it was nothing to do with the brain, they could heal it.

However, what Zain could do was completely different compared to every Reborn they had come across, because he was able to heal on the spot, without having to consume human flesh. Healing did take from Zain's stamina and he would have to consume flesh if he wanted to constantly heal.

The difference was, in a way he could borrow from his body's energy reserves to force his body to heal there and then, and in that way, he wouldn't be so disadvantaged in the fight. This was why the instructor Wix ended up so surprised.

He looked at Zain's hand in amazement as if it was as good as new, and before he knew it, he could see a white spear heading straight toward his body. Wix managed to grab the spear but the throw was more forceful than he thought and the tip had just managed to pierce his stomach.

With his other hand, he lifted it up and slammed down on the spear, breaking it in half. There was some hesitancy as to whether or not he should break the item, since the weapon was clearly special being able to transform.

In the end, Wix needed to treat this as if it was a real fight, and he felt that the weapon with its transform ability was dangerous, even though he had no idea Zain could no longer change its shape.

It was no problem though, due to the passive effect of the weapon that allowed it to heal itself, and in the first place, it was all meant to be a distraction. Zain had run forward after throwing the spear, and with his speed, he was nearly as fast as the spear itself.

So after Wix had broken the spear he was wide open. Zain had jumped in the air, and spun his body with the single sword in his hand; it looked similar to what Pink had done to him not too long ago.

'Holding the spear affected my ability to use my sword mastery to its full potential, and now, I know exactly what I need to do.'

With the spin, the sword came right down toward Wix, who went to punch the sword strike. When the two clashed, there were a few sparks, but there was more forceful power coming from the sword that punished the hand away and almost all of Wix's body.

When Zain landed on the ground, he could see Wix was on the back foot, and used his full speed to run ahead swinging the sword again, aiming for the hand once more. Rather than hitting him at the forearm though, he slashed through with the titan sword just above the elbow.

A clean cut was made followed by a thud as something had hit the ground. The contestants around could see it, an arm was on the floor. With Zain's speed, strength and the Titan sword, he had managed to cut off the instructor's hand.

"You are a more calculating man than I ever thought." Wix smiled and the other arm that was still intact, the special black skin was starting to disappear. "You have a great sense of what to do when fighting against different opponents as well.

"It was a good choice, I'm skillful enough to hurt you and defend my vitals with my arms, so the best thing to do is to get rid of them. Well done, with regret, I have to say that there is nothing I can teach."

[Quest completed]

[Golf Card received]

"No, thank you." Zain bowed. "Because of you, I have managed to gain a lot more than I could have imagined."

These words were true and it appeared whatever bad blood there was between the two seemed to disappear right after the fight.

Thankfully, the effects of the fight between the two caused no permanent harm. The arm was still intact, so it could just be palced back on Wix and healed like so. After the match was over, Wix had declared that training was over.

He told everyone to make note of what they saw today, as everyone had their own fighting style that seemed to work for them. It was good that they used the fundamentals that he taught them, to suit their strengths best just like those that were fighting today.

After that, Wix had said he wished to speak with Zain on his own, and the two were left sitting down against the wall in the changing room.

"I wanted to officially apologise to you." Wix said. "We get a lot of new recruits that come in here, thinking that they are ...well hot shit, since they gained new found strength and were much stronger then they were before.

"They slack on the training and if they do that they either end up dead, or hurting others, but you were the real deal."

Zain was happy to accept Wix's apology and thought he was actually a good teacher, there was just a reason he wanted to show his strength. It was so they didn't pamper him so much.

Now they would know, either he could go out and do tasks on his own, or allow him to at least improve on his own, and his progression wouldn't slow down in the slightest.

"I wanted to ask, you have fought me and you said I was strong, compared to the other Reborn in here, how strong do you think I am?" Zain asked.

"Don't tell me your thinking of challenging them as well." Wix smiled. "It's hard to say, as we don't really know until we get in a fight. There are quite a few Reborn agents, captains of groups that are around as strong as me. Since you beat me, they wouldn't be a challenge for you.

"In terms of stronger than me, then that would leave Sid, who I believe you've already met, and the strongest out of the group to be Mr X. Other than those two, there are the two guards that wear the riot headgear that are with Sarah at all times.

"I know they're strong but I don't know how strong. Either way, I think it's best if you avoid fighting with them for now, and besides, while you are in the Reborn group, when you get strong enough, both Sid and X will come and ask to fight you anyway. So just enjoy the time while you are here."

Zain liked the sound of that, it was good that there were other strong Reborn it meant the place was safe, and the current position he was in, was perfect for him to improve.

'While I'm here, I'll figure everything out, while also getting stronger in the process.'

Time had passed quickly for Zain after joining the Reborn group, in total 6 months had gone by, and not a single day had been wasted. The situation in the city in some cases could be described as worse, or better for a number of reasons.

The Reborn group had stayed in the current location the whole time. According to the situation that they knew about on the outside, there was still a tight military blockade in the area, not allowing anyone to leave.

From what Zain had learned, the zombie infection had spread all over the world, but in most cases they were able to get a handle on the situation. Flights, ships and more had all been stopped in order to slow down the rate of infection and in all that time there still hadn't been a cure.

As for the city where they were in, it was affected the most by far.

During his time with the Reborn group, Zain went on many missions with the others. Most of them were to do with clearing areas or gathering information on where the meteorites had hit.

This meant that they went into the city quite often. This gave the chance for Zain to improve quite a bit. He killed plenty of stage 2, and even a few stage 3 zombies during those times, allowing him to grow stronger.

Due to the clearing of certain areas, the zombie situation was better in some cases, there were even other forces that were now dealing with the situation in the city quite well. The rise of the Zombie Hunter group, and the Military group as well.

However, as time passed there was a reason why some would say the situation was getting worse, it was because more and more zombies were evolving. Those that were regular zombies were turning into mutant zombies, the stage 2 zombies were evolving to stage 3 and there were even stage 4 zombies that had been sighted.

They were harder and harder to deal with, and on top of that, the appearance of demons were becoming more frequent as well. The fact that they could disguise themselves as humans was causing some infighting between groups as well. They were fighting against each other out of fear.

Regardless, for Zain he felt like he had improved his situation quite a bit. By showing his strength in the missions he was sent out on, he had eventually become one of the commanders in the Reborn group. A leader who would be in charge of the small teams that went out.

This gave Zain a lot of opportunity to do things away from the eyes of others because often he would leave things to Kun as he went out on his own, if he needed to.

In that time, there were a few things that Zain had done, one was to increase the number of territories that he had claimed. Every mission that was based on clearing an area Zain had gained the territory and were able to put zombies in that area.

At the same time, Zain was also able to place his special zombies in these areas, such as Cobra and still summon them to his side as long as his own horde wasn't full up.

What he also noticed was if two territories were next to each other, they would become one big territory, and he could place even more zombies inside. Essentially, this was creating quite a few safe places that they could go to around the city.

It did make him wonder, if he cleared the whole city, would that become a territory of his as well? For now though, he was mainly doing it due to the exp boost he would get. With clearing out areas, the passive exp from territories and protecting areas when they were under attack, Zain was able to level up fairly quickly.

In fact, he even had gone through another evolution. This evolution had increased the intelligence of all of those in his horde. To the point where he could give them orders that they would understand.

They were still unable to speak back to him, but he could tell them to hunt or clear areas on his behalf. With this, they were able to get stronger without Zain having to be by their side.

Name: Zain Talen

Level 31

Strength: 19

Agility: 16

Intelligence: 30

Endurance: 10

Horde: 45/50

With all the levels he had increased, his stats were beyond impressive, and with the evolution two things had increased greatly. His intelligence and in turn how many zombies he could have in his direct horde.

The fact that Zain could summon a horde of zombies was kept secret till this day. Although, Zain didn't get everything out of the Reborn group as he had suspected. Sarah seemed to be busy doing research on Kelly.

He didn't mind so much since she was here before him and he thought it was important for Kelly to find out what she really was. Sarah did suggest she would look into things when Zain had one of his episodes or black outs, but the thing was, ever since being here he never did have one.

Other than that though Zain was fitting in well, so well that many of the Reborn group were growing close to him, thanks to the missions and his great strength. This also led to rumours, who was the strongest in the Reborn group, was it Zain…or was it Mr. X?

"It seems you have quite a bit of fans behind you." Mr. X said with a smile. They were in the centre of the Reborn group, the sides were filled with every Reborn member as they stood watching Zain and Mr. X in the centre.

"I was told when I came in here, that you would eventually challenge me, if I got strong enough." Zain smiled. "Don't you think you're a bit too late?"

"I'm here to show you that there still is a mountain to climb." Mr. X answered.

A big fight between the two was coming, one that was wanted by the rest of the Reborn for a long time, and finally they would get to see it.

"Are you both ready!" Wix said, who was there by the side in the centre officiating the fight.

Mr. X nodded, and then Wix turned to look at Zain… who looked strangely like he was wobbly on his feet.

"What's happening?" Wix thought. The next second, and Zain had collapsed on the floor, passed out.

A zombie didn't just collapse on the floor, in fact, if there was one thing they were known for, it was being up at all times of the day, walking either at a fast pace looking for its next meal, or slowly just wandering about, perhaps conserving its energy until it found something to eat.

Which was why all of those in the Reborn group were quite worried, Zain didn't look sluggish moments before, and just like that, it was almost as if he was shot dead and had fallen to the floor.

Rushing out of the startled group, were the three that were nearly by his side the entire time. They quickly went onto the floor and checked to see if everything was okay.

"What's wrong, you guys don't seem so surprised by this?" Mr. X asked. "Is he okay?"

"This type of thing has happened before when we first met Zain, we don't really know what it is, but the last time, he did eventually wake up." Kun explained. "He said if this was to happen, then we were to call Sarah immediately."

Mr. X did just that, and Sarah quickly ordered Mr. X to take him to her lab. Here there was a special bed that had been laid out in case this was to occur. Honestly, it had been set up a while ago as she expected something to happen sooner, when Zain had told her about these instances. So it took her a while to get everything set up.

Strange devices were attached to Zain's head, and multiple monitors were put on the screen.

'I'm not sure how much we will be able to get, but maybe we can at least figure out why you are getting these blackouts. From the looks of it, your brain is active… a lot more active than usual.'

Looking at Zain, it was hard to tell if he was having a good vision this time or a bad one.

'Just what is happening to you right now?'

——

Moments before, as Zain could feel what was happening to his body, many thoughts ran through his mind.

'Why hasn't it happened in so long? Why did you wait now, until of all times to let me see something, just before I was about to have a fight. You couldn't have picked a better time, could you?

'Well, at least this didn't happen during the fight, that might have been worse.'

When these black outs happen they weren't always the same thing, a game of some type, meeting the faceless man, a memory, or even a vision of things that he should have never been able to see, he wondered what would he come across this time.

His whole vision went from black to a bright white, and slowly he could see the objects around him.

"Wait a second, I recognise that… Why is it showing me this?'

Zain's body was transparent like that of a ghost, he had experienced this once before and it was when it was showing him a vision of what had happened in the past. Perhaps it was showing the same thing now, which made Zain wonder, why was it showing him a lab.

It wasn't just any lab though, it was the current lab in the Reborn group. The lab looked identical to what it looked like now with a few things moved about here and there. It didn't look old and it wasn't the same lab that was in the other vision he had seen before, this was without a doubt the Reborn group's lab, and that's when his eyes found Sarah.

She was in her white overcoat that she would always wear, and based on her appearance she looked to be the same age as the current Sarah that Zain knew, it wasn't like the old vision he had seen a younger version of Sarah.

'Does this mean, what it's showing me is fairly recent, it has to be, but why is it showing me this, what does it want me to see?'

Standing opposite of Sarah was a man, with short black hair and he was wearing what looked like an army uniform. There were no fancy medals or stripes so the man didn't appear to be a high ranking general of sorts, and was just an ordinary soldier around his thirties.

'I've never seen this person before, at the army base or at the Reborn group, if I was to guess I would say he looks human.' Zain thought.

"So do we have a deal?" Sarah asked, fidgeting and looking extremely nervous.

"I would be happy to take part in the deal." The man replied. "But we do have a problem don't we. You don't speak for everyone, and you are unable to control the other's actions.

"I assume you know we have had major problems, and I believe you know this person very well."

After hearing these words, unconsciously Sarah had taken a step back and nearly went to bite her nails but stopped herself. It was the first time Zain was seeing Sarah like this, so unconfident. Just who was this person?

"If I stop him… if I manage to convince him, then will you take the deal?" Sarah asked.

The man smirked as he turned around, giving a wave.

"I will be back to see your progress, and I will be back soon."n0𝑣𝔢𝗅𝚞𝓈𝓫.𝗰0𝑀

The vision was starting to come to an end, it was short, and it didn't tell Zain a lot, other than the fact Sarah desperately wanted to do a deal with this person, just who were they?

Zain couldn't speak about his plan openly inside, there were too many that would listen in and suspect something else was happening, at the same time, he didn't want to make a big deal out of something that possibly could be nothing, but based on the System he didn't think that was the case.

Zain was quite aware of his popularity inside the Reborn group, there were many that found great confidence in his strength and quick leadership while out on missions. So much so that if he was to leave the Reborn group and asked others to come with him, a little more than a few perhaps would take up on that offer.

Which was why he needed to investigate on his own, as he didn't want there to be any infighting, at least not until he learned the truth.

Currently, all six of them were waiting out in an office building on the same street as the Reborn group, they were keeping an eye out at a diagonal angle across the street, seeing who entered and left.

"So we're looking for a person in military uniform that we haven't seen around the Reborn group, correct?" Kun asked, to which Zain nodded. "But doesn't that mean he might not turn up at all.n0𝒱𝚎𝗅𝔲𝐒𝐛.𝒸0𝓂

"If he hasn't been in the Reborn group for the six months while we were away, then why would he turn up now, and how do you even know about this person and why are you so worried about him?"

Zain couldn't even begin to answer those questions. If he told Kun it was a vision they would think he was mad. Regardless, Kun did have a point about one thing, and that was the fact that they didn't know whether this person would turn up or not.

"I say we can stay out here about a little over two weeks before Sarah starts getting concerned." Zain said. "If we come back then, she will think everything is normal."

"I can get us food and flesh!" Dab said, already licking his lips. Zain was wondering if he should have bought a slimmer zombie for a stake out mission, but Dab was one he could trust with this.

He was newer to the Reborn group than them, and because of his first missions being with Zain and his group he clearly had more loyalty towards Zain than the Reborn group itself.

"When we need it that would be nice, but we still need to be careful going out on our own and you will need to take one of the others with you." Zain stated.

——

Zain stayed by the window watching like a hawk and the others joined him from time to time, but since they were sure that he wouldn't miss anything, they decided to do their own thing.

The other five would often go in the room opposite for some training, just so the noise wouldn't distract Zain so much. Skittle, having a levelling system like Zain had managed to catch up to the others fairly quickly, and focused mainly on his strength.

He wasn't as quick as any of the other four, but if he grabbed you, Skittle could perhaps rip you apart, or rip your limbs off, which was very contrary to his looks. In terms of strength, his stats were around 20.

The only thing that Skittle still was unable to do was harden part of his body. Zain didn't know the reason why, apart from the fact that he never had an evolution regardless of the levels he went through. Still with his strength he could better than match a Titan.

Pink and Kun had improved quite a bit by continuing to absorb crystals and the same could be said for Dab. However, Dab was special in his own way. For one, he was faster than he looked, not entirely fast like the superhuman Cobra, but faster than Kun, yet a bit slower than Pink, perhaps due to natural ability.

On top of that, Dab could harden parts of his body, and also change the shape of the hardening to create weapons from his body. His hardening ability was almost an extension of his own body.

With it, he could do things similar to Zain, creating a hardened sword, or a hardened shield as such. The only thing was Dab didn't have a limit as he could continuously change the shape.

This seemed to be unique to him, as he didn't have great strength like the others, but it was what allowed him to survive more compared to some of the Reborn. After all, in the six months they were in the Reborn group, it didn't go without its deaths.

They had all seen some groups return with four, or even only one coming back. The thing was, there was a constant flow of those finding out about the Reborn group and those dying on missions.

So the Reborn group often stayed to a close number of around 200 or so people. Which was why those that managed to survive for longer, were more well known compared to the others.

With Zain's group not losing a single person no matter who he went with, there would be those that always wanted to go out on missions with him. After all, Zain had been given the nickname of the Survival Genius. Doing everything he could for him and his group to survive.

This was how he managed to get quite the high reputation within the group. He was aware of the control he had over others though.

'With the current situation, what do I do if I find out something that I wasn't meant to?' Zain thought.

'I still haven't found out about myself or how to stop these visions. We only have clues, but I guess at least Kelly somewhat found out about herself.'

It turned out after running a number of tests, that Kelly was not an undead, or at least she wasn't a zombie like the rest of them. Zain could tell, based on her smell, but as stated before she didn't exactly smell human either, which was what made it a little confusing.

According to Sarah, Kelly was more of a supernatural, she was closer to what the Zombie Hunters were. The thing was, her powers gave her Reborn like qualities and this was where the confusion lay.

Just like an undead, a wound that was given anywhere on her body would heal, but would do so at a rate that was closer to Zain's rather than other zombies. Just like a zombie she would also need to consume flesh to somewhat replenish flesh.

However, there was no need for her to consume brains, this had no advantage and her body wouldn't deteriorate over time as well. Some zombies would be confused by her smell and not go after her, but it seemed to be a fifty-fifty situation.

Her strength was like that of a zombie and her speed as well, the only thing was, she was not a zombie at all. Because of this there was also no way for her to pass on the virus either.

If she was to bite another person, it would do nothing since it wasn't the same strand of virus that affected people in the same way. Some would say she was the perfect zombie, if all Reborns were like her, they would just say she was a superhuman. One that could heal with a bit of cannibalism.

Hearing the results, it was a big weight off Kelly's mind and apparently Sarah had given her a choice there and then. If she wanted to stay with the Reborn group, or whether she wanted to be escorted to a human camp, maybe even the military camp where Cody was at, or even the Zombie Hunters.

Zain thought that after she had learned the truth that she would want to be with Cody. After all, when the two of them travelled, she was always weary of him due to his past, however she had made the surprising decision to stay with him and the others.

'Having a superhuman could be handy in many situations, and she seems to naturally grow in strength as well, even without crystals. It would be good to do a few tests and see how the crystals affect a superhuman, because if they do it could be quite difficult to deal with the Zombie Hunters if they know of this fact.'

A week had passed watching the Reborn group base and they saw people enter and leave. Zain was starting to lose out hope, but believed the system gave him a quest there and then for a reason, and he was right.

Because walking up to the base, was the very same man he saw in his vision, in the same military uniform as before.

This confirmed that just like last time it seemed like the System was trying to give him visions, and was trying to tell him something. Zain had never met this person before, he didn't even know about him, yet the system did and decided to show him a vision.

"So now you know that she really is meeting with someone, what do you plan to do, are we going to head inside and confront them?" Kun asked.

"Do you have any recollection of who the man is, from the days when you were a Reborn Agent?" Zain asked.

"Honestly, I can't say that I do." Kun replied. "I only saw the side of his face and only for a few seconds, but I remembered all the important figures I saw, most of them were old men but he seemed a bit too young."

"There's something else strange as well." Pink said, as she came to the window.

The man in question had long gone into the building but they were still keeping watch as they discussed what to do.

"What do you mean?" Kelly asked.

"Think about it, that person travelled here all on his own? Wearing a military uniform as well. If he was part of the army, wouldn't he be with others and he would have a weapon on him as well but he has none of those things.

"A regular human that can just travel to this place, to even still be alive in this world with no weapons is a rarity, it's most likely that he is a Reborn like us."

Zain understood Pink's train of thought, from here they were unable to smell the person, so they could only guess based on what they had seen so far.

"I think the best thing to do, would be to carry on waiting." Zain suggested. "This man that has been meeting with Sarah, they have been doing it without the others' knowledge. No one has seen this man before in the Reborn group which means he can't have stayed there for a long time.

"Most likely, right after the meeting he will be out, and then we will ask the man questions of our own."

The others looked at each other, unsure. In the first place, Zain wasn't really telling the others how he knew about the man, but their trust in him was strong. However, these actions that they were taking, that were behind Sarah's back, could cause a split among the Reborn group, when there hadn't been one so far.

The group waited and waited, and the sun was starting to set. The sky was turning slightly orange, they perhaps had about an hour worth of sunlight left.n0𝑣𝔢𝗅𝚞𝓈𝓫.𝗰0𝑀

"If this person comes out at night, I'll be really surprised." Kun commented. "I guess he just isn't going to come out today then. Let's rest up."

A moment after Kun had said those words, it looked like he was greatly mistaken as the same man that had entered had come out. When he did, he looked left and right as if he was trying to see if there was anyone following him.

"That person's crazy!" Dab said. "He has to be staying somewhere close by, especially if he's going out at night on his own, the only person that I know that would be strong enough to travel at night on their own is Zain."

It was true, and even Zain didn't like to do it. There were more than one reason for doing so as well. The demons were more active at night, but also the higher stage zombies now as well.

Above stage three, the stage 4 zombies were able to give the demons a run for their money, and at times the battles close by could be heard, as people held up in their apartments and more.

"We can't lose this opportunity, we have to follow him. If the sun drops, then you guys hold up in the closest building you can." Zain ordered, already getting ready to move.

Kun was surprised at this, the Survival Genius was asking them to go out so close to the sun setting, it just meant how important this person was.

While the others headed down the stairs, so the man wouldn't get out of Zain's sight, he took a more drastic route as he opened the window and started to climb down. Dropping bit by bit and catching the window sill.

It was easy for him to do with his strength. When he reached the bottom floor, he waited for the others, and as soon as he heard their footsteps, he started to move.

The man in the military uniform seemed to be walking at a normal pace, as if there was no worry in the world. Based on the direction he was heading to, it was to the abandoned subway station the others would use to get to the Reborn base as well.

'I need to make sure he is far enough away from Sarah, so he can't ask her for help, who knows if they have a walkie talkie of some kind.'

Eventually, the man had entered the subway station and the sun had lowered even more.

"Are we going to enter?" Zun asked. "The sun will set, if we don't grab him now, then it will be dark by the time we get out."

Knowing this, Zain still decided to enter.

"I have a worst case scenario in my head."

They continued to move and headed down steps until they were eventually on the half built platform. One would then have to walk down the tunnel where the trains would go to head back into the city.

On the platform though, the military man had stopped.

"I think this is a good place for us to talk, don't you think?" The man said, making it clear that he was aware he was being followed.

The man in the military uniform stood there confidently, there was a smile on his face that looked at Zain, and taking no chances, Zain had the weapons tied onto his back. He would often do this rather than keep them in his system when he was out on missions and this was a pretty big one.

"Hey, the rest of you can come out as well, I know you're all there." The soldier stated.

The group did nothing until Zain was the first that eventually spoke.

"Just come out, but don't get too close." Zain ordered.

Hiding behind pillars, large platforms, and more they came out one by one and were looking at the soldier. They didn't know why, but this human gave them the shivers when looking at him.

Maybe it was the fact that he was so confident in this situation, but how could a human, apart from Sarah, be so confident like this. They knew he wasn't a Reborn from the smell coming off him.

"What's with the silence, you were following me because you wanted to know something, or find out something. Maybe you were even ordered to do this, so speak?" The man said.

"Who are you?" Zain asked.

It was a simple question, there was a good chance that this person didn't know them. Since they had never seen each other in the Reborn group.

"Who am I? Don't you think you should say who you are first, but I guess I can already see that." The man said. "All of you are zombies, considering the way you are moving around and the area we are in, a safe guess would be that you are part of the Reborn group.

"Don't be so shocked, I am on good terms with Sarah, we understand each other. At least I thought we did, until I saw you guys."

Based on these words, Zain had figured out that this man didn't know whether or not Sarah had sent them after him. Which would mean they weren't friends, but just had some type of deal with each other.

"We weren't sent by Sarah, we followed you on our own accord. We've never seen you before, so why are you and Sarah meeting up?" Zain asked again.

This question had caused the man to break out into a laugh.

"I see a curious bunch, but if Sarah didn't send you, then it means you know absolutely nothing about me, and if you guys were to disappear, then she would know nothing about it either."

The others took a step back out of instinct. It was the look in the person's eyes again. The fact of being in this situation and showing no fear, to the point where he could even threaten others.

"You're a little wrong." Zain said. "I know a little about you. You have met up with Sarah more than once before. When you come to the Reborn base you come alone. Sarah wishes to hide you from the others for some reason.

"Based on your military uniform you aren't of significant rank so you hold no power in the military either."

"Oh, you got those facts right, but that doesn't tell you who I am?" the man replied.

"You travelled on your own to the Reborn group, you have no weapons on you either. Most likely, since it's dark outside at the moment, it means you don't fear what comes out at night.

"All of these things could be cleared up if you were a Reborn, but you don't smell like us. Lastly, your identity is a Diamond card reward."

The others were following Zain a little bit, as well as the man until the last sentence, because they had no clue what he meant by this.

"All of these things mean one thing, you are a demon."n0𝑣𝞮𝐿𝐔𝐒𝔟.𝒸0𝑚

"A demon!" Dab shouted hearing those words. "Why… why would Sarah be meeting up with a demon?"

"That's probably what Zain wants to find out. Why has she been meeting with the demons in secret? The beings that kill humans and zombies without a second thought!" Kun shouted.

The man started to clap, echoing in the tunnel loudly.

"I would give you 4 out of 5 stars for your deduction. You were close, but there's one important part that you missed out. A demon making deals with the Reborn group, do you really think I was just any demon?"

Sprouting out from the military man's back, several tentacles could be seen. Unlike the four or six that demons would usually have, there were so many on each side, that it almost looked like the demon had a pair of giant wings.

The skin started to rip from the man's head, and fall off to the ground, it was torn by the forearms, and all over, until there was nothing left. All they could see now was the demon's brown skin, and body.

However, not just the amount of tentacles were different about this demon, but also its size, it was two times bigger than a regular demon, and in the subway station, the top of its wing-like tentacles were almost touching the ceiling.

[You have discovered who the mystery man is.]

[You have come across a Demon Leader]

'A Demon leader, so Sarah was trying to make some type of deal, but what, what does she have to offer them and what can they do for each other?' Zain thought.

[New quest received: Escape the Demon leader]

[Reward: Diamond card]

[New Quest received: Defeat the Demon leader]

[Reward: Master card]

'A master card… that's a reward I've never seen before. If this was a game I would try getting it in a heartbeat, but we only get one chance in real life.'

It was clear on appearance alone that the demon in front of them was no ordinary demon, even the others knew that without the system telling them, but they were all waiting on one person as to what to do.

"Zain, it's your call!" Kun shouted.

It took a moment, but in the end the temptation was too much for Zain.

'This could be the only time I ever get the chance to get a master level card. I have to go for it!'

"We fight!" Zain shouted with his two weapons.

Immediately, Kun pulled the gun by his side, and started to shoot at the demon. The bullets were in short bursts and all of them were aiming for the head. It didn't pierce the skin, but it was making it hard to see, and for the demon to react in a proper way.

'We're in the subway, and still in the Reborn part of town, there aren't many zombies in this area, so we should be fine to make a bit of noise.'

Regardless, out from the demon's back, the several hundred or so tentacles went out towards them all. While Kun stayed at the back, the others rushed toward Zain. Pink, Skittle and Dab.

First thing Zain did with his two blades was attempt to cut the tentacles, he swung his Titan blade and the white sword. It managed to hit the tentacles away, making a slight cut on them, but it was just a small dent and the tentacles were still there.

The others were struggling as well. Pink had covered her arms and legs and was kicking the tentacles away, the same was for Skittle but he was mainly using his fists. The problem was he was a little slow, which was why Dab was staying next to him so the two of them could work together.

n0𝚟𝑒𝒍𝑈𝗌𝕓.𝑐0𝑀

"You Reborn are strong, to be able to block all of these attacks, and withstand my strength, but it's only been around ten seconds or so, how long can you keep it up for?' The demon asked.

The only reason why the demon was unable to move forward was due to the suppressive fire from Kun. Zain knew this, which was why as he moved he was hitting the tentacles away that would go towards him, but he also knew the demon was right.

"Zain, I'll grab it and you charge in, just give him everything, and take him out all at once, I'm sure he'll be surprised!" Skittle shouted.

The others heard Skittle as well, and they had an idea what he meant.

"Alright, Skittle, since you put your trust in me, then I will put my trust in you." Zain stated.

He continued to hit the tentacles that were coming towards him, his speed stats, strength stat, and his sword skills were all at work, as he chose the best path to hit the tentacles away.

While going up a gear, the demon noticed this, and naturally started to pull some tentacles that were attacking the others toward him.

'It's getting harder, but I just have to keep this up for a while more.' Zain thought.

No one had been injured, and this was coming as a large surprise to the demon, but he still wasn't worried because in his head, it was only a matter of time.

When the number of tentacles lessened around Skittle, he went ahead and grabbed one of them by the centre. With his great strength he immediately started to pull.

The other tentacles tried to stop him and went toward him. At that point, Dab had transformed part of his body and hardened them into small little shields blocking them from hitting Skittle.

With a big yank, the strength of Skittle moved the demon. It had to stick its foot out to rebalance itself.

"How can such a small zombie have so much strength!" The demon shouted.

At that moment, everyone moved into position, and were heading straight toward the demon from other angles.

"Let me tell you, for one second I was never worried." Zain said. "Worried that we wouldn't be able to beat you, because not once have I ever had to use my full strength, but this time, just to make sure we beat you, I will."

Zain touched the ground and the area around him started to light up. At that moment zombies started to appear, and they weren't a small amount either, there were fifty of them in total.

This was a part of Zain's Zombie Horde, mixed in there was Cobra, Jam and a few other superhumans he had gathered along the way, as well as a few stronger regular zombies.

Immediately, they all charged forward towards the demon, including Pink, Kun and Kelly, who had also stayed in hiding until this moment.

The tentacles went wild as they attempted to attack the zombies, but with the group already doing well, blocking them and now with more of them and the super zombies, for a single demon this was far too much.

The first one that had reached the demon was Cobra, who shoved its daggers continuously into the demon's stomach. It chipped away part of its skin, not going fully in.

"How is this possible, there is a zombie that can control its own army? Did Sarah know about this? Did she hide it from me!" The demon said.

Zain, blending in with the other zombies, was already behind the demon, he shoved his Titan blade into the back of the demon's head, allowing it to go in by around an inch. Then jumping through the air, Pink spun her body and swung her leg out, transforming the end of it into a type of hammer.

She slammed the bottom of the Titan blade into the back of the demon's head, and it soon fell to the floor dead.

[42/50 Horde members]

"You managed to kill a few of my zombies, no one has done that in a long time, so that proves how difficult of an opponent you were. I wanted to ask you a lot of questions but you were a bit too dangerous to keep alive."

This was now the extent of Zain and his group's power, he had become an unstoppable force, beyond what anyone could imagine, and that included Sarah.

[You have successfully completed the quest]

[You have received the Master card]

[Would you like to use the Master card?]

The demon leader, it certainly was stronger than the others that Zain had faced, and he imagined if he was on his own, the task perhaps would have been a bit harder. It was simple, the enemy never expected there to be so many talented Reborn in one place.

Zain did pride himself of having made those around him some of the best in the Reborn group in order to fit his ways, and since they had been travelling together for a while as well. It also meant they were used to his way of fighting as well.

'I doubt that was the only demon leader that they have, but it does mean the group is being run like an organisation of some sort. The important point is that Sarah was having a meeting with one of these leaders.

'There is a good chance that she actually knows more about these demons than she is letting on.'n0𝒱𝔢𝐥𝚞𝐬𝒷.𝗰0𝕞

Accessing his system there was something that was on his mind, which wasn't allowing him to think straight about other things. He could see it staring right at him, it was the reward card he had received.

'The highest card I achieved before was the diamond card, and that allowed me to max out one of my stats. In the end I decided to use that on Skittle. This is meant to be somethign even better than that!

'Will it max out all of my stats, or maybe it will be something else, another evolution, increasing my horde numbers.'

It was safe to say that Zain couldn't wait, so he unlocked the reward card right there and then.

[The Master Card has been used]

[A new skill has been unlocked. 'Demon Detection.']

[The Demon Detection skill is a passive skill. When the user is looking at a demon the system will alert them.]

The description was simple and the sudden excitement that Zain had disappeared in an instant. The master card, the pinnacle of rewards, was just a passive skill that didn't seem to be useful at all, that was until he started to think about it more.

'Wait, the quest reward seems to be related to the quest itself. If I had this skill, it would mean even if they are disguised as humans, wearing the human skin, then I would be able to tell if they were a demon or not.

'If I had this skill before, then there would have been no need to confront him. I would have already known about this and we wouldn't of had to risk our lives. Right now, the most dangerous thing to humans and zombies are the demons, but with this skill, their number one hiding mechanism will be useless.'

In a way, Zain was slowly understanding why such a skill was considered at the master level. It was probably something that he could only do. There was no way for a Reborn to tell who was and who wans't a demon. They smelled the same, but this would give him an advantage wherever he went.

"What are you smiling about?" Kun asked, walking over.

He and the others were checking the demon's body, to see if there was anything interesting on him, that would tell them a bit more, but none of them were able to find anything.

Chapter 245 Caught in the act

Approaching the Reborn gate they were able to see Zain standing just outside, usually when they saw this they would let him right in, but this time it was slightly different. He looked at the cameras and could see they were flashing red just like before, so then why hadn't they opened the door straight away?

"This is agent Sid!" A voice was heard through a speaker. "Zain, what happened, why are you alone, where is the rest of your group?"

Now he understood why they were acting slighty strange. Zain was known for coming back with all of his members and this time, he was returning alone.

'Thankfully, it seems like they don't know anything yet.' Zain thought. n0𝚟𝑒𝒍𝑈𝗌𝕓.𝑐0𝑀

"There was trouble on my mission. I think its better if I was to speak inside." Zain stated.

Sid seemed to agree, as the door was open. When walking into the building and through the hallways this time, Zain was on edge. Nervous wasn't the right word, but perhaps if he was a human that would be the feeling.

Entering the main reception area of the hallway, Zain could see the rest of the Reborn were there as usual. A good sign that nothing had happened to them. However, they had also noticed him, and noticed the fact that he was alone as well.

"What is this, did all of Zain's team get wiped?"

"That's never happened before, they had to run into something big then."

"Yeah, but then why does Zain look absoulty fine."

"Well, he always looks fine, he has that super healing thing, remember. Either way, this is a bit worrying for what is happening outside. If this can happen to him, it means that it can happen to any of us as well."

The whispers and rumours didn't stop and Zain could hear it all. As he stood there, two of the highest ranking Reborn members had come toward him.

X looked at Zain from head to toe, and looked at his facial reaction to see if he could understand what happened. Pink, Kun, Kelly, Skittle, those four were always with him, and thought that even a zombie as emotionless as Zain would show some type of expression but it was impossible to tell.

"I think it's best if we talked about what happened with Sarah." Zain suggested. "She would want to know as well, and it saves me from repeating myself."

The other person that had approached Zain was Sid, and looking at X the two of them nodded as they walked to the lab where Sarah would usually be working.

For a while, Zain had been thinking if this was the smart thing to do. Both Sid and X seemed to be quite close to Sarah and were two of the strongest Reborn in the group. The thing was, in the vision she had met the demon alone, so there was a chance that neither of them knew about this either.

So, perhaps he could use these two to also pressure Sarah into telling the truth, or they could turn against him.

Eventually all three of them entered the lab, it looked no different to before, and nothing had changed. There also was no one else inside either. Zain was trying to see if there were any differences within the Reborn group since the demon had visited.

"It seems that you have gotten in quite a bit of trouble this time." Sarah said. "Maybe it's better if we all take a seat."

"It's okay, I'll stand." Zain said, as he moved forward and took a peak at Sid and X, in a way he was telling them not to move closer to him. He liked the position he was in now, not too far away from Sarah and not too close to those behind him.

The two of them got the message loud and clear, and since what happened to him recently they thought he might be a bit on edge and allowed him to have the space.

"We managed to meet with a demon on our way back from the city." Zain explained. "We met them in the subway, but this wasn't just any demon, it was like one that we had never faced before.

"At first, he was just an ordinary man in a military uniform, and then when he transformed he was larger, his skin was harder, his strength was more, and he had hundreds of tentacles on his back that looked like wings."

The best way for one to tell a lie, was always to mix up some truth in the lie, and Zain had done this in order to get a reaction out of Sarah. He thought she might have been able to hide it, but it was impossible for her,.

Her eyes had widened, and her heart was beating somewhat faster.

"A new demon!" Sid said. "This is the first time a report like this has come through. If the rest of your team died… then it must be truly strong, are they evolving like the zombies?"

"The rest of your team, were they really killed by this demon?" X asked. "And… is the demon dead?"

The reaction from the two people, they were different. Sid's reaction was more of what he was expecting, curious about the new demon, while X's question, he had next to no fear as if he knew the demon already existed.

"Yes." Zain answered. "I managed to kill him and there was something else as well Sarah."

There was no reason for Zain to mention the vision he had from the system. He wanted to keep the full extent of the system a secret but he was going to get his answer.

"The demon, he begged me not to kill him, stating that he had a deal. Saying that I should check with you Sarah. Of course, I had no intention of believing him, so I killed him, but tell me, what did he mean by those words, how did a demon know your name?"

The expression on Sarah's face said it all. She couldn't hide her shock, taking a step back and grasping the back of a lab chair near her as if she had nearly fallen over.

It was clear evidence that she had met the demon, even though Zain had already seen the image of the two of them in his System vision.

"Zain… you said you killed him, but why did you kill him?" Sarah eventually asked. "Do you know what you have done?"

"Why did I kill him?" Zain replied with a bit of anger in his voice. X heard this and moved over from behind Zain, standing by Sarah's side just in case an attack was going to take place.

Seeing this, Zain backed off a bit.n0𝔳𝑒𝔩𝗎𝓈𝐛.𝚌0𝑚

"He tried to kill us. It's natural. Every demon we have met has tried to kill us. None of the Reborn or humans can even travel safely at night because of the demons. So how could you even ask me such a question of why did I kill him? Why don't you answer my question of why were you meeting with him? What were you two talking about?"

Sarah looked disinclined to answer, or perhaps she was still too shocked to respond based on everything she had just found out herself.

"If you killed him, then that means we have to act… will they still honor what we talked about? No, I doubt that. They're not that type." Sarah muttered to herself, but her words were heard clearly by everyone in the room.

"So it's true?" Sid asked. "You were really meeting with a demon… and one of these supernatural demons? And judging by the fact you aren't asking any questions, I guess that you already knew this, X?"

X didn't reply because it was the truth, and he thought the only person who could explain the whole situation was Sarah.

"Sid, you know everything I do is for the sake of humanity and the Reborn group. You have to trust me. If I was talking to the demon, then there is a good reason behind it," Sarah claimed.

"But Zain, what I can't undo are the actions that you decided to take. The demon, I can't believe he would have just attacked you. Even if the two of you confronted each other, he would have just stayed in his human form.

"Now I don't know what the demons will do, or what we will have to give to calm them down."

Zain didn't like the sound of that. It was almost like a suggestion. Was Sarah going to offer him up to the demons as a way to apologize for killing their leaders? Right now, there was still mistrust in the room.

"If the meeting really was for the sake of everyone, then why didn't you just tell everyone?" Zain asked.

"I was going to. I didn't have time. I just met with the demon. You just came back after running into him yourself, so you know that," she replied.

"You're lying," Zain said, clenching his fist. If he was going to go down anyway, then he might as well reveal everything. "This wasn't the first time you met with them. You met before, and still didn't inform anyone, so what are you trying to hide?"

Sarah felt like she was being pushed back into a corner from this and started to bite her fingernail. She had X on her side, but Sid was clearly on the fence, and what would happen if all of the Reborn found out about this before she had a chance to explain herself.

"Zain… how did you know that?" Sarah said. "That meeting I had with him was before you even joined the Reborn group, so it would have been impossible for you to know this information," Zain explained, looking directly at Sid.

"I had my doubts about you when you first came here, about your strength and knowledge, but are you actually working for the Dark Zombies? Are you on their side as a spy?" Sid asked, his eyes narrowing suspiciously.

The whole Reborn group knew about the Dark Zombies, as it was something Sarah didn't keep from the others since they had run into them a few times. Another group of Reborn zombies ran by the other person who had started all of this mess.

"So you're going to pin it all on me like that?" Zain smiled as he turned around to face Sid.

"Remember everything that was said today. Get the real answer from her, and then decide what to do. People should know the truth and get to make a decision for themselves. That's the best thing to do."

"The people who care about your own survival the most are you yourselves, not some scientist. They always force things upon us while caring about the bigger picture, claiming it's for the greater good. I don't know about you, but I would rather have control of my own life," Zain added firmly.

At that moment, Zain placed his hand on the ground, and it started to light up.

"X, Sid, both of you stop him from getting away. We will need him. I promise I'll tell you everything. Just stop, Zain!" Sarah shouted urgently.

Already having predicted that this would happen, Zain wasn't going to get into a fight with all of the Reborn. Instead, he had summoned ten zombies into the room around him, and immediately they spread out to attack Sid, X, and Sarah.

'He can summon and control zombies…what is this? He really was hiding a lot of stuff from us?' Sarah thought, shocked.

In that brief interaction, using his speed, Zain ran past all of them and continued, not slowing down, heading right for the exit. As he saw the door, with his momentum, he lifted his leg and kicked the door open, breaking it off its hinges.

Next was the barricaded wall, but with a single jump, Zain was able to clear it and land on the other side.

"I guess this is the end of my time with the Reborn group. The question is…what do I do now?" Zain wondered, looking around at the desolate wasteland that surrounded him.

Before returning to the others, Zain had ventured in different directions, checking if anyone had followed him from the Reborn facility. Although he wasn't being followed, there was always a possibility, so he didn't stray too far from the small town surrounding the base, especially since it was currently dark outside. However, the area around the Reborn base was relatively safe, thanks to countless missions they had undertaken to clear the area. Zain had just defeated one of the Demon leaders, so he felt less anxious for the time being.

At the same time, summoning a few more Zombies, Zain made sure they stayed in the area, and that way he would know if there was anyone after them at the time.

"From the looks of things, they haven't killed all of the zombies in my horde," Zain checked the system and noticed. "They are still trying to experiment and learn about me. I guess it's best to abandon them."

Zain could release members of his horde through the system, and they would become just like any other zombie attacking humans on-site. He knew there was a chance that this could affect Sarah, but with the two guards by her side, he felt it was unlikely.

When Zain found the others at the subway station, they were pleased to see him, but they could tell that the journey had not gone well by the expression on his face. He had decided to tell them everything.

"Seriously, so Sarah was really working with that Demon?" Kun repeated. "I knew it was true, but for her to then act like that. I think you did the right thing. If you stayed, you would have been the scapegoat to all of this.

"I think she has always been worried about the influence you carried within the Rebron group as well."

"What do you think will happen now?" Dab asked. "They all knew Zain returned right, so when they ask what happened to him, what is she even going to say? Will she tell them the truth?"

They all had their doubts in their minds because she wouldn't even tell Zain the truth, and even Sid, one of the closest and most loyal that worked with her, had no clue.

"There's nothing we can really do about what happened, but it would appear that the Reborn base is no longer a safe place for us to go, so we need to make a decision," Skittle spoke up.

At first, he didn't speak to the group much due to his shyness and only stuck close to Zain, speaking to him at times, but he had started to open up to the others a bit more.

"Where are we going to go?" Kelly blurted out, which was precisely what Skittle was referring to.

The current situation had become dangerous for those like them: Reborn Zombies that were just wanderers. The city was becoming more dangerous as there was more intense fighting going on from multiple groups.

There were the evolved Zombies, the Zombie hunters that were becoming bigger in number, and the Army. Although the forces inside the city had grown relatively small, apparently, the core members of the Army were quite a skilled group that worked well together.

'Although some humans are okay with Reborn Zombies, not all of them are,' Zain thought. 'It does make me wonder how Cody and Ryan are doing.'

It was a tough decision because there was no guidance from the system. Usually, he would go off and attempt to complete a quest, hoping the system would show him a way.

'Come on, you were the one that dragged me into all of this by showing me that vision…so don't you have an answer?'

In the end, the system had nothing.

After considering their options, the group decided to stay in the subway for the night, as it would be safer to move in the morning. They knew they needed to leave early, however, as the Reborn group also used the subway as a passage to and from the main city.

Before going to sleep, Zain used his zombies to take guard at the front of the subway and in the tunnel. It was unlikely, but there was a chance that there would be those that ventured into the night. There was also the chance that they could run into another Demon as well.

When they woke up, the group quickly set off into the city, it was similar to how they remembered it before. Greenery was growing on the side of the buildings now that there was no one to look after them. The ground was full of pot holes and cracks from the meteorites and there was countless bodies and bugs everywhere one walked, although most of the flesh had been eaten away or deteriorated.

Unsure of where they were going. Pink spoke up, asking if Zain had made a decision on what to do next.

Zain replied, "For now, we need to find somewhere safe, somewhere we can call our own. We'll head to the school. It's a large area where the CCTV cameras are still working. I can control around a hundred zombies, plus the fifty on me, around there, so we'll have a big army of our own to defend with."

Zain didn't mention it, but because the school would become his territory, they would also be notified if they were attacked.

"From then on, we'll continue to gain territory next to the school, spreading out more and more. With that, the number of zombies I can control in an area will increase."

Zain had been planning to do this anyway. He knew that when two territories next to each other were taken over and acknowledged by the system, they would become one. If he could continue to do this, just how far could he go?

He wasn't sure, but he was determined to find out.

"We're going to take over this whole city," Zain said with a smile.

The group of six, led by Zain, had arrived at the school with relative ease. It hadn't been attacked during the time that Zain had spent at the Reborn group. He knew this because it was his territory, and each day he would gain experience points for each of the territories he owned.

They set up base, sleeping areas, as well as a canteen in the school where they could store the special food they would require. Without the Reborn group, they would have to do everything themselves, but they were used to this by now.

Watching everyone working so hard, Zain was thinking about defenses and where to go next.

"This place is the perfect place. It's large in size and has a gate at the front. It allows me to control a large number of zombies, and I can use them to keep guard as well. Even the inside of the school is equipped with everything we need, as well as a CCTV room.

"On top of that, out of all the locations that I have, this place hasn't been attacked once. I guess the fact that many believe there will be a large number of zombies here, no one has tried to raid it. The effort vs reward just doesn't make sense."

With all of this, the group had settled in rather quickly. If they thought they would get a few days' rest, compared to when they were at the Reborn group, they were wrong because Zain worked them even harder than Sarah did.

At the Reborn group, different leaders would go out at different times for missions, giving them turns to rest, but now Zain was in charge and was taking on everything himself. The expansion job had started. In the area of the city they were in, they cleared out the houses, the streets of zombies, and then the apartments nearby.

At times, just clearing out a house wouldn't increase their territory, not until they cleared out a whole street and then the area would be added to the system. However, clearing out the area didn't mean just killing all of the zombies.

In fact, Zain wanted the zombies to remain there; otherwise, it would make it more difficult for him to find zombies to use that he could control. Which was why, at times, with his own horde, he would just push the zombies out of their territory. This seemed to be enough for the place to be accepted as his. All of this continued for a month, and slowly the areas were becoming his.

ραпdα--nᴏνa сom Back at the school, the whole group was in a classroom, and a map of the city had been pinned to the wall. Skittle was standing up while the rest were sitting down.

"The areas that we have taken care of, and that now have Zain controlling them with his zombies, is this section here. We have remained safe and have suffered little in the way of attacks for a number of reasons," Skittle explained.

"For one, there are no routes that lead outside of the city. There are no train stations, airports, or any form of transportation apart from a road, which has pretty much been blocked by the military.

"At the same time, the area was known for having already been taken over by the zombies and was also heavily raided when all this mess started. Essentially, people have already moved out of this area, so to them, there was nothing left behind, but now, this is where we run into a bit of a problem.

"There are major groups that control certain areas of the city. The subway station located east of the city leads to the small town just by the set-up military border. We know that the Reborn group keeps a close eye here, and we have been avoiding it for a while.

"Then there is the area to the south. Although their territory is small, the military has a stronghold here, and many humans know about this. From what we know, most of the general public are travelling southward.

"Lastly, we have the group that controls the majority of the city, the Zombie Hunters. They have expanded the quickest and grown in strength compared to all the rest."

"What about the area in the centre and the demons?" Kun asked. "Do we know where they are?"

"The area in the centre is considered a danger zone. From those who have travelled through the centre rather than through the outskirts of the city, they say there is a high concentration of evolved zombies there.

"This is currently part of the problem. You see, all groups know this, so they have been pushing territory to the right and left of them, rather than taking over the centre of the city. For the military, this means they will soon be pushing into our territory and the Reborn group's territory.

n0𝗏𝗲𝒍𝗎𝗌𝑩.𝑐0𝔪

"For the Zombie Hunters, it means they will also be pushing into the Reborn territory and ours. There is a problem that our group and the Reborn group have though, that the others don't."

Skittle paused there as if he was waiting for someone to say the answer, but no one did, to which he just shook his head.

"It's the fact that no one knows we exist. To both groups, we just look like more troublesome zombies. So they will continue to push without a second thought. Which is why we need to make a decision about what to do.

"Do we wait for one of our areas to be attacked, do we attack one of their areas first, or do we push toward the centre? As for your question about the demons, our guess is they are among every group, hiding."

Thinking about Skittle's suggestion, Zain didn't want to attack the military. There were those that they knew, and they didn't seem to know any better; their goal was pretty much the same as theirs.

There was even a chance that they could have another meeting and try to work out some agreement. The Zombie Hunters, their group was too large to get into a scuffle with right now. So the best thing to do was enter the centre, getting stronger and bringing more allies to their horde.

[Warning: Westfield Farm is under attack.]

"The farm… it's under attack," Zain said, standing up.

Looking at the map and the closest area that was close to it, they could all see that it was most likely the Zombie Hunters.

The decision looked to have been made for them, as the group of five had decided to leave the school and head out. Dab was left behind in this case to look after the school, just in case anything was to happen.

However, he wouldn't be alone and the school would actually be one of the safer places. For one, it had Cobra there as well as a few other super zombies. Zombies who had raised intelligence and were handed guns by the gates.

If anyone tried to attack the school they would be in for a surprise, and on top of that, they would have to travel through several territories around that were owned by Zain anyway, so it was safer for him to be there and he knew that, which was why he didn't mind.

"You have to remember, these guys think that they're just attacking normal zombies." Skittle stated. "Zain said he just wanted to go over so we could observe them. Their strength, their tactics, and more."

They were heading to the area, in an electric vehicle. It was silent so it didn't attract much attention and for Skittle, it was easy for him to recharge. He had managed to get a hold of components that would help generate electricity, even large lead batteries.

On top of that, one of the other projects they had been working on was clearing the roads so they were somewhat useful as well, and this would allow them to get to any area that they wanted as quickly as possible. n0𝐕𝗲𝐋𝑢𝓈𝐛.𝑪0𝑀

While in the car, Zain was looking at the situation, he had a map of the area and his zombies getting killed one by one. Using the map he also was able to command the zombies to attack in certain ways, and the Zombie Hunters were having a tough time.

——

On the farm, the Zombie Hunters were a group of seven, wearing the same level jackets. They were sweating and nervous as they were walking through the fields with tall corn. It was blocking their view.

"I can't see sh*t!" One of them complained. "Who thought it was a good idea to run into here?"

All of them were sweating, had blood splatters on their clothes, and turned their heads frantically as they could hear different noises coming from all over the place. Suddenly, a zombie jumped out right at them, and one of the Zombie Hunters ran forward in front of the zombie and stared right at it.

It looked like it was frozen still in place, its eyes were moving, but the rest of its body wasn't. From the side, a larger hunter lifted up his large axe and swung it down right on its neck. The head landed on the floor and the zombie's body started to move again.

The first hunter, a young student named Terry started to rub his eyes. He had kept them open the entire time, and they felt dry.

"Hey, be careful, I know you need to keep your eyes open to use your powers but if blood gets in them, there's a good chance that you might turn as well." Cleve said, who was in charge of the group.

He was a little older than the rest, in his late twenties, and although he didn't think he was the strongest of the group, he decided to take the role of leader here because it was hard controlling young ones with a bunch of powers in this dangerous world.

"Is no one going to answer the question from before?" The only female in the group said. "Whose bright idea was it to come into the fields, where we can hardly see anything. It might be best if we just burn this place to the ground."

eαglesnᴏνel "Are you an idiot, Jade! " The large man with the axe, Benny said. "If you use your powers here, on these dry crops, everything including us will go up in flames in a second. You might have a powerful super power, but you have a thick skull."

Jade was grinding her teeth, and Cleve felt like it was his place to jump in.

"Clam down, this situation is troublesome and it's no one's fault. The zombies, they were attacking us in a way that pushed us to this area."

"Do you think thats possible?" Terry asked. "Can the zombies really do that? I've only seen that happen when there is a boil zombie, but none of these guys have those strange boils on them."

It was a guess on Cleve's part, but even now, why weren't the zombies just rushing out to them like they usually would. Instead, all of this tension and noises they were making was wearing the group down.

One of the other hunters bent down and did a large jump. In doing so he went nearly ten metres up in the air and, looking around, he spotted something they could use and landed safely back on the ground.

"There's a barn that we can go to. It's more open and has less crap around it, so it means we can fight these guys off easier. If there are a lot of them, it will give us a place to rest for the night as well, and we can clear up this area in a few days."

Cleve thought it was a good choice, so they would head in that direction, they were getting tired anyway.

——

A little ways away, at the single dirt road that led up to the farm, the car was parked up.

"It's best if we walk from here." Kun said. "Let's just hope they don't find the car."

"Just remember what I said before. We aren't here to kill them." Skittle added. "If we do, then there is a good chance that it will only encourage the Zombie Hunters to push more into our area."

The farm was a large territory in Zain's system. It covered a massive area and was on the border between their territory and the Zombie Hunter's territory. It was quite well placed because even though there was a vast amount of land, the number of zombies on the land itself was relatively small.

In the first place, there just weren't many humans that were here from the beginning. It did, however, get overrun by hungry zombies at some point searching for food, but even then not many zombies would linger around due to the lack of humans.

This was why Zain was only able to control around fifty zombies in the area. Usually, for something this size, he should have been able to command at least 200. The good news for the group as well was the fact that they knew the area well. They had come here to clear it before, and were following the same path that they went through last time, walking through the large cornfields.

"Do you know where they are, Zain?" Skittle asked.

"Yeah, it seems that they have hidden in one of the large barns, one away from the Farmhouse. They did quite well and have gotten rid of half of the zombies I had controlling the area. For now, I've ordered them not to attack, but to make some noise once in a while," Zain stated.

Hearing this, Skittle could only imagine the torture in the others' minds. They had no clue how many zombies were out there, and hearing the zombies just outside their doorstep once in a while was sure to make it difficult to rest and sleep.

"You have to remember, Zain, it's not their fault that they're like this," Skittle said. "I know you care a lot about survival, and I think a lot of the decisions you made make sense, but I also think you have to remember that they too are only doing everything they need to, to survive."

"You mean like Buke?" Zain replied. "When he found out that you were a zombie, he tried to kill you immediately and didn't care for what I had to say either. It's the same for these guys. I know we were originally human, but I believe that they will always see us differently from them."

"But haven't you found those that don't care that we are what we are?" Skittle asked.

He had seen what Zain went through. Images of Kelly, who was now with them, and images of Cody and the general had appeared in his mind.

"I'm happy that you saved me that day, I really am, and I don't know what would have happened to me if you didn't, but I can't help but think that maybe Buke was just initially shocked. All of what happened to us, it started at the beginning of all of this mess.

"Maybe with everything we know now, he might act different, and the three of us could be working together." There was a large smile on Skittle's face when he said these words.

Images of all of them when they went to university together appeared in his mind, the good days, the bad days, and even when they would all get in trouble together.

"I guess we'll never know because Buke is dead," Zain said.

The group had approached the barn and had exited out of the woods. The door was closed, and they had walked past a few of the dead zombies on the way there. From the look of their bodies, it was hard to tell just what type of powers they had.

In the first place, this was a scouting mission, which was why all of them decided to hide. Zain and Skittle hid behind a tractor. The other three, Kelly, Kun, and Pink, had hidden behind large haystacks that were blocking their view.

When everything was ready, it was time for the signal to start. Zain opened up his system, and with the remaining zombies in the area, ordered them all to storm towards the door at once.

One zombie was seen running out from the cornfield, and soon, following it, were others all sprinting ahead. When reaching the door, they banged on it with their fists. The door was only made out of wood, and the strength of the door itself wasn't that great.

When more and more zombies started to appear, the door was starting to break under the repeated banging one after the other.

Inside the barn, all of them had popped up to their feet and were looking at the situation.

"Crap, they were all so calm before, and now they're acting up like this!" Cleve said. "I thought we could take it easy with this one. I know something wasn't right since we got here."

"What are we going to do?" Benny asked, already holding onto the axe.

"We have no choice; we have to fight. Come on!"n0𝒱𝓮𝗅𝐮𝑆𝓑.𝗰0𝗆

The door was broken, and one or two zombies could now come inside at a time, but it wasn't big enough to let them all in. Benny was the first one to charge forward and swinging his axe to the side, he had killed one immediately.

As for the other zombie, it was frozen in place, and it allowed Benny to swing his axe again, killing the other zombie.

Zain, noticing this, made it so the zombies backed off a bit, and just as expected, the whole group of Zombie Hunters broke through the door to see that they were surrounded.

"Alright, there aren't as many as I thought there would be, we can do this!" Cleve said.

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ Hiding behind the truck, Skittle and Zain were watching everything, and they soon noticed someone in the group, a member of the Zombie Hunters.

"Hey Zain, are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Skittle asked.

"Yeah," Zain replied. "It's Jade."

Without a doubt, the person they were both looking at was Jade. Zain and Skittle knew her well, and there were many reasons for that. One of them was the fact that she had come from their university, and not only that, but she was treated as a type of goddess among the boys.

For whatever reason that was, it was hard to imagine her being seen so well in their eyes because both of them still had clear memories of what she had done when the whole zombie outbreak had begun.

At the time, she was on the same dormitory floor as the others. On the reception floor, she was with Buke and Skittle, trying to wait for Zain to find a way for them to escape. However, it didn't take long for them to see Jade's dark side. She had tripped the fire alarm, causing all of the zombies in the area to head towards their building. Using that as a distraction, she was able to escape while leaving the other two for dead.n0𝑣𝖊𝓁𝚞𝒮𝐁.𝗰0𝓂

In the end, Zain had managed to save both of them, but the memories of what happened were fresh in their heads. For Zain, he also had another concern back then: Jade had a friend with her who had suddenly been turned. From his inspection, it seemed like a forced turning, most likely due to Jade's doing.

"As much as I want to go over there now and give her a clean hit, it's dangerous even for us," Skittle said. "We still don't know all their powers. The group seems to be split between those who are taking action and those who aren't."

Zain had analyzed the same thing. There was a group of attackers, showing their powers quite easily, for example, the man with the axe seemed to have great strength and stamina beyond that of a human. One could see this just by how easily he sliced through the bones of the zombies, but the others in the back weren't doing anything apart from telling them where zombies were coming from.

"I have a plan that might be able to draw out their powers," Zain smiled.

With where they were, Zain placed his hand on the ground and summoned five more zombies. While the hunters were distracted fighting the zombies, the summoned zombies started to move where he had asked them to and eventually went behind the barn.

The hunters were doing well, and Cleve could see that the number of zombies attacking them had lessened. However, they weren't directly charging forward towards them either.

"I thought that if we came outside, we might be able to see who's leading these guys," Cleve thought. "None of these guys look like an advanced zombie, though. Are they in hiding somewhere? If that's the case, they would have to be nearby, right?"

At the back of the group, there was a smaller bald-headed hunter who had yet to do anything. Truth was, it was one of his first missions, which was why he stayed at the back. But that's when he noticed something. There were growling sounds and moans of pain that the zombies made, but they weren't coming from the front.

Turning around, he tried to see if they were coming from inside the barn, but they weren't there either. It wasn't until he eventually looked up that he found the source.

"Above!" The Bald-headed man shouted.

In doing so, Jade and Terry looked up, and they could see zombies having jumped up from the top of the barn. These were the zombies that Zain had sent out before. Although he could order them and move them about as he wished, he was unable to stop them from making noise.

Still, even though they had been noticed, the plan worked as the ones in the back had to take action, and the person who went first was Jade. She leaned back a bit while opening her mouth wide. In doing so, her belly grew larger, letting more air in, until she blew out.

Flames came out from her mouth and hit the zombie, catching two of them on fire. Terry and the bald man moved out of the way of the other two, letting them land on the floor. When they crashed into the ground, some of their bones had broken, but it didn't stop the zombies as they crawled and stood up toward their target.

One of the zombies wasn't moving as Terry kept his eyes open as long as he could, and the others subdued them. There was no need for the frontal attack team to act because Jade had it all sorted.

Taking in short breaths, she was still able to produce fire from her mouth, although much smaller than her original attack, and had lit each one of them in flames. The only thing was, even if the zombies were being burned, they still were able to walk for a few moments before their brains were affected.

Still, it meant the job was dealt with, and they didn't have to worry about the zombies anymore. The thing was, after nearly being hit, and making her heart race so fast, Jade was furious.

She started to walk to the front, and walked past those that were fighting.

"I told you, we should have just done this from the beginning." Jade said.

"No, she's not is she?" Cleve said to himself, as he kicked a zombie in the stomach, sending it tumbling to the ground. "Wait, Jade, we can use these crops to feed everyone. It's a good resource!"

His words weren't getting through, and she was already in the middle of her actions. Blowing out flames were released from her mouth, and she moved her head to the left and to the right, burning all of the crops.

A fire had started, and it was beginning to spread.

The fire that was lit on one part of the crops started to spread from one area to the next, and it was moving fast. Soon the fire would start to grow in all areas and would be out of control.

The current farm was filled with dry crops, plants, leaves and more, all of it perfect for making a fire spread. The problem for them wasn't losing the farm, but trying to get out of the place.

The fire would soon start to surround all of them, and if that was the case, Zain wasn't even sure that their zombie-like bodies would be able to handle that.

"Zain, there is a water pipe that runs under the ground between the two halves of the crops." Skittle started to explain. "It's hopeless trying to stop this large amount of fire with some water now. So the best thing to do is to just stop it from spreading.

"If you burst the water pipe all along the track, then you can flood the midsection of the farm. There is already a large distance between the crops, so it's unlikely to spread to the next patch if you do this. Then the flames will just burn out."

It was a solution, but one that wasn't sure would work in the first place, and on top of that, it was one that would still lose half the farm. Judging by the look of the Zombie Hunters, they weren't too afraid of the fire and were just short of food.

Likely they had a way to escape, just like they had done the last time.

'Jade. Although she isn't the nicest person in the world, she's not stupid. She should have realised the mess that this caused, but she seems calm. If she can create this fire, she might have a way to diffuse it as well. n0𝒱𝔢𝓛𝐮𝑠𝔟.𝓬0𝗆

'For putting us in this situation, I don't want to let her escape today.'

With that thought in mind, Zain quickly ran off from his position into the field of crops that had yet to be burnt. With his speed the way it currently was, he could run incredibly fast.

It didn't take him long to reach the area that Skittle was talking about, and now it was time for him to get to work.

——

Meanwhile Skittle, Kun, Kelly and Pink continued to observe the situation between the Hunters. They had nearly finished dealing with the zombies in the area including those of the surprise attack.

"Do you think we should take them out?" Pink asked.

"Didn't you hear what Skittle said, that this was a situation just to observe the powers the Zombie Hunters have." Kun replied.

"Although I do agree, do you think Zain thinks of it this way, now they've done what they've done?" Kelly replied. "He probably never expected them to cause this much destruction in the area, and he'll want to pay them back."

The other two somewhat agreed on this, they had seen Zain on multiple missions act this way. When something was meant to be simple, or one of them would get hurt, Zain would go in against the enemy stronger than intended.

While thinking about what to do, it seemed like the decision had been made for them. The Hunters had finished dealing with the zombies.

"Dona, are there any more of them?" Cleve asked.

The small bald man closed his eyes. There should still be four of them nearby. The Hunters took a quick scan around the area, but were unable to see anyone, this made Cleve think that the ones in hiding had to be the ones that were controlling the zombies.

'They had someone with that type of ability, but they said four, does that mean Zain went off somewhere?' Kun thought.

He knew where the other two had originally gone to hide, but was unable to see Zain running from the area, which meant that Skittle was all on his own.

While the group was searching and looking around, Benny, the man who wielded the large axe and had done most of the killing of the zombies by beheading them in one strike, he was heading towards a particular stack of hay.

"This looks like the perfect place for someone to watch everything that's been going on." Benny smiled, and rather than just checking behind the haystack, he decided to lift his axe up, ready to swing it down.

Out from the haystack, Skittle was seen breaking through. He ran straight ahead with his fist clenched and punched Benny right in the stomach. The main stat that had been improved for Skittle the whole time, was his strength. Even if Benny was a superhuman, Skittle's fist was going to hurt.

Benny's feet lifted off the ground as his body bent inwards from the punch, and before he knew it, his large self was flying through the air, until he eventually landed on the ground just by the barn door.

He couldn't breathe, the hit had him deep in the stomach. Seeing how that was done by a small zombie with bite marks all over him, Cleve felt like this was trouble.

"Be careful, this one is a special one!" Cleve shouted.

Observing them all so far, Skittle had realised that Cleve seemed to be the leader of them all, if he could take him out, then the rest of them would fall apart. They would practically self-destruct without his decision making.

So Skittle went for him next.

'After I told the others not to fight, now I'm the one fighting.' Skittle thought.

Before Skittle could reach Cleve though, another Hunter stood in-between them. It was a nervous young Hunter, but keeping his eyes wide open he looked straight into Skittle's and his whole body suddenly froze.

'What is this power… this… I saw it before but I had no clue how it worked. Is it through eye contact?' Skittle thought.

"Wait a second, I recognise this person." Jade said with a smile.

"Same to you, Jade." Skittle replied, and the Hunters were surprised to hear the small Zombie boy speak.

The hunters were amazed by what they had just heard: a zombie speaking — not just mumbling a few words here or there, but one that was able to speak a whole sentence.

Never had the hunters come across this, nor had they heard reports of this before, which made them think they had just discovered something amazing. In doing so, Cleve's first thought was that they had to keep this person alive.

This was what Skittle was going for. Even if the Zombie Hunters had met a few Reborn Zombies before, he was counting on them not informing the rest of the group.

It was normal for humans to be curious in this situation, so hearing a zombie speak would cause them to hesitate, and in turn, he could defeat them and escape.

The only thing was, their powers were more than he had expected, and there was a person in the group who remembered him very well.

"I can't believe it. This twerp and I used to go to the same university!" Jade laughed. "It looks like you never were able to get out of that situation after all and you've turned into a zombie."

"Actually, we got out of that situation, no thanks to you," Skittle replied instantly. "These marks are from something else. But if you want to talk more about what happened back then, I'm sure your new allies will be interested."

There were bite marks over Skittle's body in several places, including his face, so it was obvious he was a zombie, unlike the others.

"You two knew each other? Jade, you should talk to him and bring him in. Get him to work with us. Maybe we can figure out how to make more like him, so people don't have to worry about being bitten," Cleve stated.

"Work with her? She left me and my friends all to die, and I'm pretty sure she would do the same to all of you," Skittle replied. "It's better that you guys get away from monsters like her."

Skittle was trying to make the hunters wary of her, but he knew it was a hard sell. He was a zombie, and of course, he would say things that would try to put Jade in a bad light. Based on the reaction from the others, they didn't really care about what he was saying right now.

"My eyes are really starting to hurt," Terry said, his eyes turning a little bloodshot.

"It's alright, rest your eyes a bit," Jade said as she walked over to where Skittle was. She stood an arm's length away from him. "If he moves, I'll make sure to burn him to a crisp."

If it were any of the other hunters, then Skittle would think they might hesitate, and he would have a chance, but with Jade, he felt like she would really attack him without a second thought.

Hiding behind a large tractor, the three others were debating what to do.

"It's a tricky situation now that Skittle's been caught," Kun commented.

"I told you we should have gone in early. Do you remember how Zain acted the last time anyone even touched Skittle? Could you imagine what would happen if Skittle died because of the Zombie Hunters?" Pink asked.

"He would wage war and attempt to kill all of the Zombie Hunters," Kelly replied, shivering slightly.n0𝑣𝖊𝓁𝚞𝒮𝐁.𝗰0𝓂

"What are you doing?" A deep voice was heard, and this one made them all shiver. When taking a peek around the tractor, they could see the person in question standing there.

The Zombie Hunters turned around and could see a man dressed in dark leather clothing over his body. It was quite thick, stopping slash attacks here and there. Zain's neck was covered, so it was hard to see the bite mark on him.

"Is that a human or another zombie?" Terry asked.

"Who are you?" Cleve asked.

"Right now, you guys are in my area, and you are the ones that are hurting those that belong to me. Let him go, if you all don't want to die," Zain stated.

The hunters found this quite hilarious. After all, Zain was one person while they were a group with multiple people. Even Benny, who had been hit by Skittle, was now up and had heard everything so far.

"Oh, it's you. It looks like you're still the same, aren't you?" Jade commented. "Ordering everyone around like you're the big boss. I have to say, the fact that you and this zombie are friends, does that mean you're one as well?"

"I am," Zain answered immediately. "But we are far better than someone who turns their so-called friends into Zombies. That day, when I went back to the dorm room, I found your dear friend that was with us.

"She had no bite marks on her body and had a blunt wound on her. It seemed she had been knocked out, and my guess is forced to drink some blood. It couldn't be, the person I am looking at right now, did all of that, right?

"If a zombie bites another person, at least they have an excuse, but your actions… you are the worst monster I have ever laid my eyes on," Zain said, pointing his sword toward her. "I gave you all a warning."

Zain rushed forward, and as he did, Terry went ahead to stand in front of them.

"Zain, close your eyes!" Skittle shouted.

Zain didn't know why Skittle would say this, but he trusted his friend and did so, closing his eyes, which meant he was still able to move.

Seeing this, Jade moved from Skittle and took a deep breath.

"Zain, fire!" Skittle shouted again.

She blew out flames from her mouth that completely covered Zain's body from head to toe. The flames continued out of her mouth, the same way they did when she burnt the fields.

'That was a close call. I know everyone else was pretty relaxed, but I had a bad feeling about that one,' Cleve thought. 'I think he might have been the one behind this whole thing in the first place, especially considering the confidence he had. Although Jade is annoying to work with, her powers are incredibly strong.'

The flames had stopped, and in its place, there was now a burnt remains of a human body in sight. When the human body fell, behind it, Zain could be seen intact.

"He summoned one of his zombies to take the hit," Skittle noticed.

Out from his hands, a gun appeared. He first pointed it toward Terry and fired. A bullet went right through his head, killing him in an instant.

"Get rid of the most troublesome one first," Zain said. He then moved forward and drew the Titan sword from his back. Slicing upward, he cut the next one's hands right off. They fell to the floor, blood squirting out while Jade was left screaming.

"Then cause pain to the one that deserves it the most."

The screaming from Jade was deafening, she couldn't even feel any pain in her hands, but as she looked down and the blood continued to drip… the sound just continued to come out from her mouth.

That was until Skittle decided to act. Seeing how Zain had already joined the fight, he was sure that all of the Zombie Hunters would decide to act out now. At the same time, after cutting the hands off from Jade, Zain was already running past her going to the others.

"You need to shut up for a bit!' Skittle shouted, lifting Jade by the back of her shirt into the air and slamming her into the ground. It was a heavy hit that made her cough and immediately Skittle placed his hand over her mouth, keeping it shut.

He needed to make sure she was unable to use her fire powers, and he had good grip strength anyway.

'I can't lie, I enjoyed that a bit. Anyway this should take her out of the fight. Someone like her wouldn't try and bite me.' Skittle thought.

There was a risk of one turning when taking in the other's blood, superhumans like the Zombie Hunters were more resilient to turning but it didn't mean it was impossible.

Terry was dead, and Jade was out of the fight, but the Zombie Hunters gathered around. If it was just one person surely they could focus their attacks toward them. At least that's what Cleve thought.

Almost immediately, running from the back, three more had joined the fight. Pink, Kun and Kelly. Not only that but they were unmatched in strength and skill, as they kicked, punched, and knocked out or broke a few of the bones of the Zombie Hunters. Before Cleve could even do anything, he had been kicked, his leg broken on the spot and hit on the face as he went tumbling to the ground.

He looked around him and none of the Zombie Hunters were left standing.

'What is going on here, are they all superhuman, or are they all zombies? How can so many zombies that can speak and do things like these have gathered in one place?' Cleve thought.

"What do you want to do?" Pink asked, looking at those she had just beaten up on the ground. "We kept them alive in case you wanted to turn them. They could make pretty good Zombies."

"No." Skittle said. "Once they find out about what happened, they could send more of them to the area. They might even launch a full scale attack. The best thing to do is keep them and take them back to the school with us. Then we have some bargaining power. Besides, we could use them to find out just how strong the Zombie Hunters have become."

What Skittle said made a lot of sense, and the group were happy to have someone like him on the team. It helped them think ahead a bit. Although Zain was good at making decisions for the present, sometimes he was lacking when it came to thinking about the future.

'A school… if they're going to keep the rest alive, then this is my chance to get out of here.' Cleve looked at the others, he wanted to say sorry to them. Sorry that he wasn't a better leader.

At the first sign of trouble they should have gotten out of there and now he felt responsible for having put them in the current situation, but this was the only way to secure their survival.

With a snap of his fingers, Cleve's body completely disappeared from the area. He was gone.

Seeing this, Zain stomped his foot on the ground.

"Damn it, I should have known that there could be more than one of them with that power." Zain said to himself. "It would have been better to just get rid of them all."

Skittle felt partly guilty because it was his decision, and now the enemy would know about them. Who knew how they would react once they learned of this information.

"I guess we should go ahead with Skittle's plan, and keep them as hostages." Kelly said.n0𝒱𝓮𝗅𝐮𝑆𝓑.𝗰0𝗆

Zain then walked up to Jade, and placed his sword right above her chest where her heart was.

"No, kill the ones whose powers we don't know about. It would be a risk to bring them back. They could break out or take out any of us when we know nothing about them." Zain ordered.

Zain gestured for Skittle to remove his hand from Jade's mouth.

"Wait what are you doing?" Jade asked. "You said you would keep us hostage right, and you already know my power."

"We already have plenty to choose from." Zain said. "And anyone but you deserves to live in this world."

From the looks of it, Jade was building something up in her mouth, ready to spit out flames, before she could Zain had pushed down on the sword, stabbing right through her heart with a speck of blood landing on his face.

——

With his powers, Cleve had teleported back to the base of the Zombie Hunters, he was on the ground and could barely move due to his broken legs. Immediately other hunters noticed him.

"Hey, get someone with some healing powers to help!" One of them shouted.

"Cleve what happened to you, how did you end up like this… where are the others?"

The hunters were a bit worried, it had been a while since a group had come back like this. Usually, if they were in a tough situation they could just escape before things got bad, and Cleve's team was quite strong as well.

"Get the boss." Cleve said. "He needs to know, he needs to know about these Zombies."

The five who had traveled out had decided to return, and they had done as Zain suggested. The other hunters had been killed. An attempt had been made by Zain at turning them, but they had all failed, so there were no new super zombie allies on their side.

The single person that had been kept alive was Benny, the man with the large axes. They had been observing him enough and witnessed him in close call situations to know that his power had to be that of super strength. It was one of the more basic superhuman traits but was also extremely useful.

However, Skittle, Pink, and Zain's own strength outmatched Benny's, which was why they were confident in bringing him back with them. Eventually, they had arrived back at the school.

"What in the world is this? All of these zombies in this area, and you even have them standing by the school gate." Benny gasped. "Cleve was right, one of you, you can control zombies, can't you?"

"I think it would be best you keep quiet." Kun replied. "We will be the ones asking you questions in the end."

"Yeah, you already killed the rest, and I know that's the only reason I'm alive."

Walking through the front concrete playground area, one individual, Dab, came running toward them with a large smile on his face. He was energetic that they had all arrived back.

"Whoa, what is this? Is that a Zombie Hunter? Why did you bring him here?"

n0𝚟𝖾𝓵𝗎𝐬𝓑.𝒞0𝑚

Zain continued to walk forward, with Skittle by his side.

"Come on, Dab, I'll explain to you," Kun said, wrapping his arm around his shoulder. "Let me paint you a nice picture. The fierce Zombie Hunters…"

The other three left to relax, rest up, and do what they usually did. They also had taken the brains out of the Zombie Hunters, and they needed to store them as soon as possible. This was still something that none of them had overcome but just got better at eating less of.

While they were doing that, a classroom was picked, filled with desk chairs and the blackboard at the back. Zain and Skittle offered Benny a seat, and they took a seat as well.

"What is this? Is this going to be some type of good cop, bad cop while you interrogate me?" Benny scoffed.

"Good cop, bad cop? Do I look like someone who would do such things?" Zain said.

Zain stared right into Benny's eyes, and memories of how easily he had killed all the others had come into his mind. He couldn't help but gulp or back off when talking to Zain.

"What I want to know is how many people are in the Zombie Hunters at the moment, and what do you plan to do with the current situation?" Zain asked.

"I'll answer because I want no pain," Benny replied. "The Zombie Hunters are made up of core and non-core members. Non-core members have no sign of powers and help run the day-to-day stuff. We don't take anyone in who can't work though.

"So not the sick nor the elderly. There is an exception if one is a core member, then we are willing to look after their family. Their numbers are probably around 2000 or so. Since I told you about the non-core members, I'm guessing you have an idea of what the core members are already.

"It's those that have supernatural powers. At the moment, I would say there are around 1,000 of us, but the number is growing as more and more non-core members find out they have powers."

The numbers didn't sound like a lie with how many people there were in the city. One thing that was clear was that the Zombie Hunters were a bigger force than the military and most likely more powerful with all the power users.

"Your second answer is obvious, to rid the world of zombies, we will do so one area at a time, but it's important that we don't lose our lives, so we are doing it slowly. Our numbers are growing anyway."

When Benny said those words, his tone of voice changed slightly. He was generally a confident person, and Zain had noticed the difference when he spoke this time.

"Have you been getting attacked by the Demons more these days… is there a reason why you're expanding and looking into new areas?" Zain asked.

Benny scrunched up his face.

"We are having more attacks than usual but nothing we can't handle."

From this information, it was most likely that the Demons were aware of the situation as well. They wouldn't allow the Zombie Hunters to get stronger, which was why they were experiencing more attacks.

The reason why Zain's territory was untouched was that it didn't look like they had any territory at all. It was just zombies roaming around the place.

"You guys look calm as ever," Benny suddenly said. "It's amazing how there are zombies like you guys, ones who can speak, talk, act just like us, but you aren't like us, and you control them right out there.

"Do you think you're safe here?"

Skittle didn't answer, but he did think they were safe. He knew that the Zombie Hunters would retaliate, but because of Zain's power, he knew when other territories had been entered and were being attacked, so they would have time to prepare.

"I can see it on your face. You know, you made a big mistake, letting it slip out that your base was a school. How many schools do you think are in this area, 5, 6 maybe… if you ask me, it's only a matter of time."

It didn't take the Zombie Hunters long at all, at that moment in time, Skittle and Zain could see it from the window. Inside the school's playground, in front of the gate, a mass of around forty or so Zombie Hunters had been teleported in.

"F*ck," Zain said, looking at the situation.

Looking out of the window, it wasn't just a small group of Zombie Hunters that had arrived in one go. There were several groups arriving one after the other. They had more than one teleporter in their group allowing them to bring a mass of the hunters and they had now brought around fifty or so hunters, all of them with powers.

As to how they knew they had powers, it was because without any type of scouting or preparation, they began to attack the zombies around them. Using their powers, flames, lightning, super strength, duplication, and all sorts they were killing all of the zombies at the gate and in the playground left and right.

The others soon rushed into the room where Zain and Skittle currently were.

[Danger, your territory is under attack!]

'System, you're a little late in telling me this time.' Zain thought.

"Zain, what do we do… Do we go out and confront them?" Kun asked.

Seeing the situation and how it was, even if Zain was to use his super zombies such as Cobra, Jam, and War, this was going to be an incredibly hard fight to survive, no, almost impossible.

"We won't fight to win this fight," Zain said, and placed his hand on the ground, the next moment War was summoned, and he had a semi automatic as well as a few other weapons strapped to his body.

"We're going to lower their numbers as much as we can, and then get out of here. We can't let them just come to us and get away with it." Zain said. "Kun, go with War, you two are the best shooters, head to the roof top and get as many of the troublesome ones as you can."

For a second, Zain peeked out of the window, out of those that arrived, he was going to see which ones he recognized. There were, after all, a few hunters that he did know about, such as the hunter named Wendy, who had let him and Skittle live, as well as the young men he had saved before. n0𝓋𝖊𝓁𝑢𝓈𝒷.𝐂0𝗆

Thankfully, there was no one he could see.

Kun and War went up to the roof, leaving the place quickly, and started to rush up the stairs. War had a high level of intelligence for a zombie that allowed him to use guns, he could also understand commands, but his intelligence wasn't high enough for him to speak, and the commands needed to be kept simple.

The two of them were crouching as they reached the rooftop. There was a metal gate on the roof as well. They slowly moved forward until they hid behind a lip where they could look through the gate and see down below.

"They haven't spotted us up here, it seem's there to focused on the zombies." Kun commented. "That would make sense, they are probably just clearing the area. They won't even know if they are in the right place or not, but still it would be best to wait for the right chance, the right moment, and then we can be most effective.

"For now, I'll try and see which ones are the most troublesome ones of the group."

——

Back in the classroom, the others were still there, and Zain was staring at Benny.

"Hahah, I love that look on your face, you truly messed with the wrong person and now you know it." Benny commented.

Zain then walked up to Benny and was standing right in front of him.

"We originally kept you here, so we could use you in a situation like this, so we could use you as a hostage, but based on the way they are attacking and with such a large force, they are not here to talk.

"In this attack, they will lose more than one Hunter's life. Your life is not worth more than the other hunter's life, they are just using you as an excuse to attack, or they might have just decided to attack an unknown threat."

Benny was listening but had no clue why Zain was saying his thoughts out loud like so.

"So that means." Zain reached out and grabbed Benny right by the neck, he then lifted him out of his seat with ease.

Benny couldn't believe it, he, a large person, was lifted so easily with a single hand from a man who was two times smaller than him.

"It means, we no longer need you." Zain said, as he grabbed tightly around Benny's neck, and in doing so he hurled him out of the window. His body smashed through the glass and was thrown a great distance.

In the air, the hunters could see the object coming towards them, they moved out of the way as the body slammed onto the ground. It splattered and blood sprayed out. Now on the floor they could see their ally, Benny, dead on the ground, having come from the school.

"What in the world… could do something like this?" The hunters said.

At that moment, while everyone was looking at the body. It was the perfect distraction for them all. Bullets started to fire from the top of the roof, with their good shots they were able to hit many of the hunters.

Not only them, but Zain had also pulled out guns from his inventory and with his skill level relatively high, he was also able to hit a few from where he was as he was shooting one after the other.

Many of the hunters had gone down before they could react, but they had abilities that could soon block the bullets creating large shields in front of the rest.

"I guess that's our cue to get out of here, we have done as much damage as we can." Kun said to his partner.

In the classroom below, Zain had come to the same conclusion, he turned around and looked at the others.

"Alright, let's get out of here."

Taking a step forward, Zain's mind started to go black, his body swayed to the side, and he crashed… passed out on the floor.
