This empty feeling of darkness, where his mind was conscious but unable to see or think of anything. It was the familiar feeling that Zain had experienced before, but as time went on during his time as a zombie, he was passing out less and less.
Yet, he knew in the back of his mind that it was always a possibility, that it could occur at any time, and now it had occurred again. Why did it have to happen at the worst times? Lately, it felt like someone was doing it on purpose, as if to put him in a worse situation than he already was.
"It was so sudden this time, I didn't have a chance to even fight against it or stop it like I had done that one time in the hospital," Zain thought.
He started to think about the current situation and how the others would handle it without him.
"The situation was already tough to get out of, we would have just barely made it. The only chance for the others to survive, and the best thing for them to do, is to just leave me behind... there is a good chance that I'll be killed, but that's how I taught them."
Finally, the darkness started to disappear, and in its place was a room. A familiar room to Zain, small with a single bed and a desk, and posters on the wall. It was a typical teenage or young one's bedroom. What stood out, though, was the desk and on that desk, there was a computer set up.
All of this was familiar to Zain because it was his childhood bedroom, the one he had grown up in as a child. Right now, he was in the body of a child, his former self, perhaps 8 or 10 years old.
It was a memory from long ago, so it was hard for him to remember, but the vision he was experiencing this time was different from all the others. For one, he was in his own body, but he was unable to control it.
It was almost as if he was watching a movie, but through the eyes of himself. The mouse could be heard clicking and the keyboard tapping away. Zain tried to stop clicking for a second, but nothing happened, and the child version of himself continued to play the game.
"What do you mean it's not ready!" A loud voice was heard from the other side of the house. It felt like it was almost shaking the walls. "I have been slaving away day after day, and all I'm asking for is one thing, and now you've ruined my entire day. You useless B*tch.n0๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐.๐0๐ถ
"I should have thrown you and that useless kid under the bridge!"
This voice instantly caused a sick feeling to brew in Zain's stomach. It was a voice he thought he would never have to hear again, and now, thanks to the system, he had heard it once more.
Looking at his child self, though, he could see that it was affecting him as well. His hands were shaking.
The shouting continued, and eventually, loud thuds were heard. The child Zain then placed headphones over his head and started to turn the volume up as he continued to shake, sitting in his seat.
He was trying his best to just focus on the game. "Survive, survive, I need to do what I can to survive. I need to get the wood and more resources," Zain mumbled to himself.
He flinched a couple of times as he heard louder thuds from the other room but continued to play the game, that was until a figure made of dark mist started to appear.
The mist started to form, and a military uniform could be seen. It looked to be the body of a man, until the face appeared because it was the faceless man, with nothing but a mouth on his head.
"You weakling, why don't you do something about it, something to stop it?" The faceless man asked.
For the first time, the child Zain stopped playing his game and turned around.
"I'm just a child, there is nothing I can do."
"There is always something you can do, but instead, you just sit in here and ignore it all while your mother out there takes the brunt of everything."

"What can I do!" Zain shouted. "He's stronger than me and bigger than me. Maybe if it was like a game, where I could level up and get stronger, I could beat him. But right now, if I tried to do anything, I could never beat him!"
The faceless man looked to be turning back into a black mist, but he had a few last words to say.
"You will never know until you try," the faceless man stated.
With the faceless man disappearing, so did the rest of the room, and it looked like the vision was coming to an end.
"That wasn't a pleasant vision this time... not a good one at all," Zain said.
A few moments later, Zain was opening his eyes just like the times before. He had somewhat expected to see maybe the school ceiling, and if not that, to never be able to open his eyes again.
Instead, the walls were completely black. Turning his head to the right, there were barred cells. Looking around the dark room, he could soon see others in there with him, curled up in balls in corners of the room. Some were just standing there on their own.
"Where am I?" Zain thought.

Before doing anything else, Zain was trying to get a grasp of where he was. He looked up, but the ceiling was darkโtoo dark to see what material it was made out of. Then, turning his head through the bars, he could see the flooring.
The flooring was made of wood, but when he banged on the floor, it didn't break. Instead, it felt like there was concrete underneath.
"I guess there's no escaping out this way, butโฆ" Zain started to walk up to the bars and placed his hand around them. He held them and gave them a small tug, not using his full strength. "If I tried hard enough, I think I could rip these bars out."
However, that idea, at least for now, had gone out of Zain's head as he could hear footsteps walking up and down the hallway.
"What are you doing!" a voice shouted. "Step away from the bars, or I'll blast your head off."
The man that was standing in the hallway had the uniform of the Zombie Hunters on, and in his hand was a gunโnot just any gun. Zain was staring down the barrel of a large shotgun pointed right at his head.
If he was hit cleanly with that at the distance he was at, then he was pretty sure he wouldn't still be alive.
"That uniform, so it's the Zombie Hunters after all. After I passed out, they must have caught me and trapped me down here, but why would they keep me alive? Maybe they don't even know who I am." Zain thought.n0๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฏ.๐ช0๐ถ
Quickly, he decided to check his system, and in doing so, he could see Skittle's name, which meant that he was alive and well. What he also noticed was the location that they were in.
"This isn't the Zombie Hunters' base, at least it's not where I thought the base is, and it's a long way from where Skittle and the others are. We must have been transported here."
"Didn't you hear what I said!" The man loaded the gun, pulling part of it back, and pointed the gun forward a bit more again. For a second, Zain thought about grabbing it and attempting to get out of this place.
"Hey, relax, will you? You know that he's new here. He doesn't know what's going on," a voice said from behind.
Zain could smell who was approaching him, and of all things, it smelled like a zombie. Judging from the fact that it could speak, it meant it was a Reborn Zombie.
The hand was placed on Zain's shoulder, and he let go of the bars and moved away. The man politely waved to the guard with a smile as the two of them went away.
"Look, I know you're a tough zombie and everything, but trust me, you don't want to try and escape. I've been here a while, and the last guys that tried that became a pile of nothing before they could even leave the cells."
From those words, it sounded like there was more than one guard, and it was one of the reasons why Zain hadn't acted out irrationally as wellโit wasn't good for survival.
"The name is Dart!" The zombie man claimed.
Zain looked him up and down, and Dart looked like a farmer based on the clothes he had on his body. They were badly ripped as if he had never changed clothes since the day the zombie attack had occurred.
But his face was friendly with a large grin, and in farmer's terms, he seemed quite young, in his thirties or so.
"Dart... are you part of the Reborn Group, and where are we?" Zain asked.
The two of them continued back deeper into the cell until they had reached the very back. Zain looked at the others in the roomโthere were six of them inside in totalโand what was even stranger was the fact that there weren't just Reborn Zombies here, there were also a couple of humans as well.
"Reborn group... I'm not part of any group," Dart replied. "I was just doing my own thing when I got bit. When I woke up, I was like this. I'm sure it's the same for you. Anyway, one day those hunters came and found me.
"I thought I was dead, but instead, they brought me here."
If Dart was someone from the Reborn group, Zain thought they would know him, and there were always Reborn Zombies out there that knew nothing about themselves.
"And what exactly is here? Why have they put us all in a cell together? There has to be a reason for them to keep us alive," Zain asked.
Dart placed his finger on his chin as he twisted and turned his head. He was unsure how to phrase it.
"What's the point of telling him?" A female voice said from the corner. She was sitting on the ground, rocking back and forth, blonde hair in pigtails. From the smell, Zain was able to tell she was human as wellโa human that wasn't even scared of zombies.
"I don't know why you do this, Dart. You're friendly with everyone who comes into this place, and yet you know that it's unlikely we will see him again."
"Hey, we don't know that," Dart replied back. "And what else are we supposed to do, just stay in this cell until it's our turn?"
Dart sighed.
"She is right about one thing, though. Since you are the newest one to be in here, you will be called soon."
The sound of multiple footsteps was heard, and Dart turned his head. He looked nervous and grabbed both shoulders of Zain.
"Crap, you were asleep for too long. I didn't have time to tell you. All I can say is, you need to do your best, your best to survive. I know we will meet again!" Dart shouted.
Zain wondered just what was going on.

After somewhat helping Zain out, the friendly Reborn had decided to back away, and many of the others in the room had turned their heads or faced their bodies away from the bars. One could tell just from this that they were nervous about whatever was walking through that hallway.
"Alright!" A loud voice echoed through the halls. Stopping in front of them were a group of around eight zombie hunters, all wearing identical black leather jackets with white words painted on the back. Unlike the other zombie hunters that Zain had seen, these looked a bit older and more rugged. Their eyes said a lot about them as well.
'I guess these aren't your normal newbie zombie hunters. Although I would like to say I would still be confident about breaking out of this place, I still have no idea where we are,' Zain thought.
"Follow us, and don't even think about trying to fight us. We wouldn't want to injure you before your big debut, and trust me, if anything were to happen to you before your debut, it would only make it harder for you," the large man said.
Zain didn't respond, but he seemed willing to comply as he didn't say much. The bars were unlocked, and two of the hunters came in with large metal poles. They pressed them against Zain, one towards the front of his body and another towards the back, while the hunters divided themselves, escorting Zain in the front and the back.
'I guess they're still worried about getting infected.'
"So, redhead!" one of the skinny hunters who were holding the pole called out while they walked down the hall. "Tell me, is there anything special about you? Like, are you strong, used to be in the army, or maybe a martial artist or something?"
"Are you crazy?" one of the hunters replied. "Does he even look that old? My bet is he won't even last five minutes."
"Hey," the large man, who seemed to be the leader of the group and was walking out front, shouted. "What are you guys doing, asking him questions? You know it's against the rules to try to get any information beforehand. It would make it unfair to all the others."
Due to their careful movement of Zain, to the point where one of them had to walk backward, they were going through the area slowly, but it allowed the red-haired zombie to take in his surroundings.
'There are a lot of cells down here, and from the smell, I can tell that they have captives as well. How many people are down here, and just what are they trying to do? From the sounds of it, the others have been through the same thing and they're still alive... I guess I'm just going to have to find out.'
Eventually, Zain had gone up a flight of stairs and had reached an empty, large room. It looked like the reception of a hotel, with a front desk, sofas, and marble flooring.
'Were we in the basement?' Zain thought.
Soon, however, he realized that he wasn't the only one who was out and being treated as a captive. There were about ten others. One of them looked to be a Stage 2 Zombie, tied up and restrained. Another was a human, severely beaten and wearing a Zombie hunter uniform.
There were regular humans as well, and a couple of Reborn Zombies in the mix. All of them were being led by a group of Zombie hunters to prevent them from running away.
Looking at the hunters, he soon locked eyes with one of them because he recognized the girl with long black hair. He had seen her before.n0๐ฅ๐๐ฟ๐ข๐ข๐.๐0๐
'It's the hunter that goes by Wendy. She was the one... that helped me out before with Skittle.'
It wasn't just Zain who recognized her because when they made eye contact, they held it for a couple of seconds before she realized who or what she was looking at and turned away.
To the right of the reception, there were a set of double doors. If this was a hotel, it had an old Victorian feeling to it, but it was large and grand in size. Out from the double doors, a wild-looking white-haired hunter with nothing but the leather jacket and a large scar across his chest emerged.
"Haha, so these are the lucky contestants!" the man shouted. "It looks like we have a good batch today. I think we will have some history makers!"
Many of the hunters stood upright upon seeing this person. It was clear he held a high position of power.
'Is he the leader?' Zain thought. 'No, that wouldn't make sense based on where we are on the map, but it all has to be linked. Why even the need to do all of this in the first place?'
"Alright, there's no time to chat. All of you will learn as you go," the white-haired hunter declared, heading back through the door he had just exited from. After that, the rest of the groups of hunters started to follow.
Passing through the door, they entered a bigger hallway, and at the end of the hallway, an arched entrance could be seen. The sound of many voices could be heard, and soon they knew where all the noise was coming from.
Cheers erupted as each one of the groups entered. They were in a large ballroom that had two floors and a banister that went all around the top. It was a room that would be used to decorate for weddings at times. Now, it was being used for something else entirely.
The wooden floors were stained with blood, and the whole area was surrounded by the Zombie hunters. But on the second floor, there were several men and women dressed in completely different attire, something unexpected given the current situation everyone was in.
Elegant dresses, suits, clothes that in the past people would have saved for special occasions.
"Alright, everyone, you know the rules. We will introduce everyone one by one, and with that, you are all to make your bets. Will they survive or... will they die!!!"

Hearing the news from the white-haired hunter, the crowd cheered so loud that the whole room started to shake, and with the announcement being made, Zain had somewhat figured out what was going on.
"They're making bets on us? So that's why they kept us alive, and why that hunter from before was asking if I could do anything special," Zain thought. "To do this type of thing, to have captives that are Reborn, and possibly even some of those that are Superhuman, they have to be confident in their strength."
Nearly everyone in the room were Zombie Hunters, and there had to be around 200 or so of them here. Even with the use of other zombies, Zain felt like it was difficult for him to survive, and he was sure they would have some Titans with great power.
"Actually, not all of them are hunters." Zain looked up at the balcony, at those who were well-dressed and different from the others.
Right now, the white-haired hunter was describing each of the participants, explaining how they had managed to get caught and what their crimes were. For one of the humans, they were part of the Zombie Hunters but had tried to steal from them and run away. Their punishment had resulted in this.
Through their introductions, Zain did realise one thing: just like him, for all of them, it must have been their first time going through this. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been any need for the introductions.
"Are they betting on which of us will survive? Are we going to go up against each other?" Zain thought.
Closing his eyes, he was trying to focus. His hearing was better than others, but there was a lot of speaking going on. So he had to pay attention to the sound coming from a particular direction, and his aim was the second floor.
"It looks like there is no one that's really worth looking at this time. They all look incredibly weak; they hardly have any meat on their bones."
"You still think that way, after everything you have seen. You know, just from the outside, one is unable to tell what ability they have, and some are stronger than they look."
"We should still bet while we still can," another added. "Who knows when this situation will end? Nearly every other country and city has everything under control."
"It might be longer than you think. You know they discovered that nearly all the meteorites hit this area. Can't you tell from what you have seen? This place is special. It's no wonder that they haven't cleared it yet."
"Either way, this has become quite a good way to entertain ourselves, in return for goods to support those who live in this rotten city. We're hoping to maybe even get some underground broadcasting rights. I'm sure it could become a big hit among other clients."
Zain continued to listen in on what the others were saying, and he was starting to get a bigger picture of what was going on, not just here but outside of their current city.
"It was the same as what the others said. Outside of the city, the other places don't have a high amount of infected and from the sounds of it, demons either. The military has made a border to make sure no one gets out and makes the situation worse for the other cities.
Why did the demons choose this place? Was it just coincidence, and what do they plan to do? If the whole country, the whole world, has already resolved the problem, I can't believe it.
These powerful rich snobs. Instead of trying to help lessen the burden of the situation, they are just using us to entertain themselves."
"And you, redhead!" the white-haired hunter asked. "Please tell us a little about yourself. It is said that they found you in a school. They thought you were dead, but one of them believed they had seen you as a Reborn before, and on the off chance that you were alive, they brought you in.
It looks like you were alive after all. Still, it's amazing. I have never seen a sleeping zombie before. Please tell us about yourself."
Zain opened his eyes. "Sleeping Zombie" wasn't such a bad name for himself. On his body, they had left his armour on, but his weapons, they were gone. His Titan sword and white transformation sword. He hoped that the others would have picked them up.
"I... am a student from a university. I studied with the sword from time to time," Zain mentioned.
He didn't want to give too much away. Maybe they would think he was too big of a threat if he did and just get rid of him. But the second sentence was a lie; he never had practised with the sword until he had received the system.
n0๐ณ๐ฎ๐ต๐ฒ๐๐.๐ฐ0๐
"A sword, that's very interesting," the man said, looking up at the others, and they nodded.
"Alright, that's all the information that you have gotten on the participants taking part today! You know the drill. You have five minutes to make your bets, and after that, they can't be changed."
While others were taking bets, the white-haired man pointed to one of the men who had a Zombie Hunter uniform on. He was thin and frail with shaggy hair going to his shoulders.
The other participants were moved back to a different space, away from the audience, and were still being kept back.
"I guess we're not going up against each other after all. So the Zombie Hunter is going first... but I wonder what we're going to see."
On the other side of the room, there were a set of double doors, and the hunters stood a clear distance away from the door. The five minutes were finally up.
"Okay, the first round will start! Open the door!"
The double doors opened, and walking right through was a dark brown-skinned figure with white hollow eyes and sharp razor teeth. Finally, there were tentacles sticking out from its back.
Their opponent was a demon.

When the Demon exited from the other side of the room, the Zombie Hunters didn't look surprised and instead cheered at the top of their lungs. From the look of things, unlike the rest of them, the Demon didn't look to be tied up, nor were there any signs of it being forced.
'Is it some type of ability one of the Zombie Hunters have. It wouldn't be too much of a surprise if one of them could do something like that. Which means I would have to be careful if there is. Other than that, there is also a chance that the Demons are in on this, and maybe even made a deal with them.'
Whatever the case was, now this frail man had to deal with the Demon, and as a former Zombie Hunter, there were a lot of those that had high hopes placing large bets on him.
The fight didn't need to be announced, the Demon was the first to attack, stretching out its long tentacles. They came out fast like spears but the Zombie Hunter used his powers and suddenly had moved across the floor and was in a completely different area.
All four of the tentacle-like attacks had hit the floor, piercing the ground.
"How am I meant to kill this thing without any weapons? I can't just do it with my hands!" The man complained.
The Demon was on the move. Moving closer and using its tentacles to strike at the man again. From what they had seen, the man had the power of super speed, he moved quickly avoiding the tentacles again but when he stopped he held his stomach.
"I'm so hungry as well, these bastards didn't even feed me properly before the fight!" The man shouted.
Another of the tentacles came toward him, and he had avoided it like the last attacks but the Demon was also slowly moving in closer and closer. Without a way to fight back the man was wondering what to do, and he soon saw a problem. The Demon coming in closer was cutting off ways for him to run.
It had extended out its tentacles and in doing so, was now using them to block the way the man could run without running into the tentacles. In this situation everything felt hopeless to him. That was until a hammer skidded across the floor.
It was a simple weapon but with his powers, it could be used in an explosive way, in an attack. The man picked up the hammer and immediately ran toward the demon, screaming.n0๐ฝ๐ฌ๐ต๐๐๐ฏ.๐ธ0๐ช
"Arghhh!"
He avoided the tentacles and then when he was in close, he avoided the swipes of the Demon's hands as well. Swinging the hammer as hard as he could, he hit the side of the head. A loud bang was heard, as if it had hit a solid wall, and a small crack could be seen in the Demon's skin.
"I did it!" The man said with a big smile, until he felt something creeping up along his back. The tentacles penetrated his skin, right through his clothes. Blood was soaking through and his body lifted in the air. The grip of his hand weakened until the hammer was dropped onto the floor.
The Demon opened up its mouth, stretching it wider than the man's head. Its sharp fangs were seen coming down and as it bit down, it snapped off the man's head completely. Only the neck and the rest of the body could be seen, as it shrivelled up, being absorbed for its energy.
"Ouch!" The white haired hunter said. "It looks like he was unfortunate and he was one of the fan favourites. Well, better luck next time to all of you."
A man had just died in front of them all, and not just any man but one that used to be part of their group, yet none of them looked to have any remorse and instead were just upset that they had lost their bets.
'These people, how long have they been doing this for, to become so numb to these types of actions.' Zain thought.
Looking at all the hunters, he did see one that was quite disgusted by what was happening, and that was the hunter Wendy.
'Maybeโฆ if I get a chance to speak to her.'
After the Demon had defeated its opponent, it stood there. It had probably gained additional energy from consuming its opponent and all of its wounds were healed. So, in some cases, now for the next contestants they would just find it even harder to deal with.
What was surprising was how the Demon wasn't going on a rampage and attacking those around it, and was patiently waiting for the next participant. Another name had been called, this time it was another Reborn Zombie.
Zain watched this match, but it had ended quicker than the last. The Reborn Zombie had next to no skills, and was hardly able to avoid the tentacles, losing the match fairly quickly.
"I can't believe this is happening, after the favourite went away, the odds of anyone else beating the Demon this time are close to 0."
Those on top looked extremely disappointed in the results as if it was a waste of time for them to come.
'Maybe if I was to catch the interest of one of themโฆ this could work.'
The third participant was called, and once again it wasn't Zain but before they stepped forward Zain raised his hand.
"Can I volunteer?" Zain asked. "I want to be next to fight that thingโฆ but in return for volunteering before the others, I want a sword."

It was the first for all of those watching. The Zombie Hunters as well as the well-dressed guests had seen a number of events, but during this whole time, they had never seen one volunteer to go first. At least not after knowing and seeing what their opponent could do.
Yet, here the university student of all things had decided to go forward after seeing their opponent.
"Maybe he has a crush on you Sherry." One of the men in a suit chuckled.
"It does seem like he is looking up here when he declared to take part in this event. Perhaps that red zombie does wish to impress us."
Since it was a first, the onlookers didn't know what was going to happen, and in the end, the white haired hunter was the one that had to make a decision.
"Very well, if you wish to impress us, or make your death even quicker, then I will not stop you." The hunter said.
With that done, Zain was allowed to move forward, and the others soon stepped away, for the fight between him and the demon to begin.
"Wait!" Zain called out. "For volunteering shouldn't I at least get a reward of some sort?"
Everyone was puzzled by this request, but Sherry who was standing there in the silver dress could see that Zain's eyes were still on her, which had caused her to make a decision of her own.
"I believe he is right, a reward is needed. After all, how could anyone expect to defeat such a creature without a weapon." The woman stated. "You said you were a swordsman correct, then someone give him a sword, and I will increase my bet tenfold on the red haired zombie."
The white haired hunter had a smirk bigger than he could have ever imagined, and quickly asked for a sword to be thrown from the crowd. One was and slid across the floor. With his foot Zain kicked it up and caught it mid air.
He held the sword in front of him, and it looked natural in his hand. The stance made it so he looked like a true swordsman.
"I thought the fact that he could use a sword was a lie." One of those from the second floor commented.
"I don't blame you, in this day and age, unless for competition, who would practise with such a thing. Either way, whether he can use a sword or not, it doesn't change anything. There is only a small amount that manages to survive."
"You have to admit that number has been increasing lately though, there are more and more people in the cells. If this continues on, we might have to try and do something about it."
The others nodded in agreement, but there was no more talking between them because now, it was time for the battle to commence.
On the side, Wendy was watching the whole thing intently.
'After leaving that army baseโฆ I heard the news, apparently this zombie was able to defeat a demon all on its own. It was quite tough for us to do, but if that was the case, I wonder how he was caught. I didn't even know he was here. I guess I should look into thingsโฆ if he survives this.'
The tentacles came out right toward Zain like the last fight, and rather than running and avoiding all the tentacles. Zain had stepped to the left, right and then forward, missing all four of the sharp ends. His movements were so smooth.
What he did, it looked so simple, but everyone knew that it had to be difficult. Lifting up the sword, Zain swung it down on the tentacle, when he did he soon felt it bounce off form the demon's skin.
'The demon's skin is too hard, I wish I had my titan sword right now, but I don't so I'm just going to have to do this the old fashioned way.'
The tentacles from the demon had lifted in the air, and swinging about they were all heading toward him. Unlike before, he ran to the side, and started to run in a curve toward the demon. It was fast, and the demon was unable to react with its tentacles quick enough.
'I can't use too much speed, otherwise they might think that I'm too much of a threat, but if I can get the attention of one of them.'
While running toward the demon, Zain took a glance at Sherry. She noticed, in the middle of an intense battle to do such a thing, it meant one thing, he wasn't scared.
When getting close enough to the demon, it tried to swing its arm to claw at him. And using his own hand, he knocked it away hitting the demon's forearm. It was with such strength that it flung back in the air. After that, leading in with his shoulder he tackled the demon right in the centre.
It lost its footing and fell right down to the ground. Quickly following up, Zain jumped in the air, and held the sword with both hands. He swung it downward right through the demon's mouth. It periced through the soft flesh in its throat, and pushing on it further, Zain allowed it to get stuck right in.
Letting go, the sword was staying up in place, lifting up his leg, he then slammed it down on the bottom of the sword, pushing it down further. At that moment, the tentacles of the demon stopped moving, its whole body had stopped moving, and it was clear the demon was dead.
"He defeated the demonโฆ and without getting a scratch on his body." The white haired hunter said with his mouth left open.

Calmly, Zain pulled the sword out from the demon's mouth. He did it as if no one around him was watching. After that, he flicked the sword, allowing the blood to splatter onto the ground, and then swung it about a few times in the air.
'It's heavier and less sturdy, but when I have a sword in my hand, the sword mastery activates. Not only does it make my skills better, but it allows me to make better judgments of where and when to attack. It was a good thing using this thing, otherwise I would have had to deal with the demon in a different way.'
The main aim of the game was to get the attention of the others around him, but not to garner so much attention to the point where they felt like they were unable to contain Zain. Finally, Zain had realized that all those around him were silent.
'Crapโฆdon't tell me. I overdid it?' Zain thought.
Many had defeated the demons they went against, but none had done it the way Zain had. Others struggled with their life on the line, made great sacrifices or had great skill.
Although Zain had great skill, there was something off about the way he killed the demon. It felt like he had done it before.
The sound of clapping could be heard coming from above. Turning his head, he could see the woman in the sparkly dress. Soon the room followed, as everyone started to clap as well.
"It would seem the red-haired is one to pay attention to next time. It will be quite impressive to see what he comes up with next!" the white-haired hunter announced.
Heading back, Zain went ahead and joined the others. The ballroom floor was cleaned up, and he was forced to stay and watch. Nothing was said to him or anything given to him, and eventually, just like before, through the double doors, there was another demon.
'I'm slowly starting to gather what everyone said, so it was expected that they would have more than one demon.'
Folding his arms, the show continued as the next participant from their lineup was sent out. It was a woman this time, and she was shaking just in front of the demon. In particular, this person didn't look like a zombie hunter nor a reborn zombie. It was clear that she would already lose the fight.
For a second, Zain had thought about volunteering again. What if he was to fight on everyone's behalf and defeat all of the demons? Then their lives would be saved, but he quickly decided against it when he got control over his feelings.
Defeating all of the demons would draw unwanted attention to him. If that happened and they got rid of him, then he would have played the hero for no reason.
If he was to fight them, there was a good chance they wouldn't even be saved. They would just be made to fight again, and if they couldn't survive the first time, then they wouldn't survive again.
These people were making bets on the participants, so it was unlikely that they would allow him to get involved anyway.
As expected, the woman had only lasted a few seconds against the demon, and after that, the other participants would have to face the demon. The crowd was a little lacklustre after seeing Zain's performance.
The matches just didn't excite them that much, apart from one. It was a reborn zombie with a big afro on top of his head. His fight was a struggle and a half. His athleticism allowed him to flip over and avoid most of the attacks.
With just his bare hands though, he had been hit a few times. That was until he managed to get behind the demon during the fight, and slam its head into the ground. A slam wasn't enough to kill the thing.
From the side though during the match, all sorts of things were thrown out, scissors and anything sharp. With the strength of the reborn, they were able to jam multiple items in its head and continued to slam its head into the ground until it was eventually beat.
Out of all of them that were present, only two ended up surviving the whole thing. With the bets over, all of the hunters started to leave the room, and the two survivors were escorted back.
There was nothing said by anyone to the two of them, as they went down below and started to walk down the long dark hallway.
"Hey, will you look at that, two of them managed to survive this time!" A voice shouted from the cells.
"I saw some of them pass, I thought no one would pass this time."
The zombie with the large afro was pushed into another cell around five doors down. Zain looked at him and it seemed the two of them nodded as a sort of respect for surviving. Then finally, Zain was taken to his cell, pushed inside, and the door slammed behind him.
"Hey, you made it!" Dart said, running forward with big eyes. "I knew you would, I knew I had a good feeling about you!"
The others in the cell looked at Zain, and the woman who had her back up against the wall had noticed something.
"Did you even fight, you don't have a scratch on you?" She asked.
"I did." Zain replied, "Just what is this place?"
The others looked at each other, ready to speak to Zain, until they heard a voice from behind.
"Hey, you!" The voice said.
"Oh, what's this, it looks like a pretty lady has come to visit you as well. Just what type of luck do you have!" Dart stated.
Before turning around, Zain was excited that his plan had worked, and soon he could learn more about the entire situation. Upon seeing who was calling out to him, it wasn't what he was expecting.
"Youโฆare not her." Zain blurted out loud.
"Oh, you're disappointed to see me. I guess I should have killed you back then," Wendy stated.

Walking closer to the cell bars, Zain just had to make sure what he was seeing was right, that the person standing on the other side was Wendy, the Zombie Hunter. She wasn't just any Zombie Hunter, but one of the first that Zain had ever come across, and at the time, she could have easily killed Skittle.
However, after seeing Zain trying to protect Skittle, she had lied to her allies and allowed the two of them to escape. He never quite understood her actions back then, but as he thought about it more as time passed, perhaps not everyone had gone crazy with fear in this new world.
"I displayed a great set of skills, hoping that the woman in the dress would request a meeting with me," Zain thought. "Then, I could have maybe used her somehow, to get more information, or even as a hostage. She seemed quite important, but this woman, she won't help me much since she's just a simple Zombie Hunter."
"I can see you're quite disappointed to see me," Wendy said. "But I'm sure you're interested in how your friends are doing and how you got here in the first place. Why don't the two of us have a private conversation?"n0๐ฑ๐๐ฟ๐๐ ๐.๐ธ0๐
Wendy tilted her head to the side to see just behind Zain and could see Dart with a big smile on his face, hearing every word.
Wendy decided to move towards the corner of the cell they were in, and Zain did the same. Since the others could see they didn't want to be heard, they had decided to move the other way. Since it was a Zombie Hunter Zain was talking to, the last thing they wanted was to end their life faster by doing something that she didn't like.
"Alright, so are you going to tell me, tell me why you wanted to speak to me, or what happened to me?" Zain asked.
"Honestly, I'm not too sure myself what happened to you, but I can give a pretty good guess," Wendy replied. "I'm sure you have figured it out, but this place is a betting ring, run by the Zombie Hunters.
"Everyone in here is a contestant, who is sent out from time to time to do battle. Sometimes, it's against high stage zombies, sometimes it's against demons. As for those that you saw on the second floor, those are the Zombie Hunters' very special guests.
"They aren't from the city and are from the outside world. People with great wealth or in high positions. When making bets, they are betting for supplies to be brought in to the Zombie Hunters: weapons, food, medicine, things we need.
"While they bet amongst themselves with cash and money, things that are still exchanged on the outside. For you, you must have caught someone's eye. And when they captured you, they brought you here because they thought you would be a good participant."
Zain had guessed all of this was the case from everything he had heard. What surprised him was that all of those in his cell must have already fought before, which meant they had survived something he had gone through. If that was the case, then they had to be somewhat strong.
"That makes sense, but I wasn't caught, at least not on purpose. The fact that the others aren't here must mean they are safe," Zain mumbled.
"I thought as much," Wendy replied. "I saw you at the military base at that time. I didn't think you would be caught, and not so easily. You're different from the ones that come in here. You have been looking for a way out of here ever since you set foot in this cell, right?"
Zain didn't say anything. Why would he? He was trapped in here, and she was the enemy.
"You asked me before why I came to see you, right? So why do you think I came here to talk to you?" Wendy asked.
"The answer is obvious, you want something from me," Zain replied, but he was still unsure what in the current situation they were in.
"This whole operation is being run by the Zombie Hunters, but it wasn't permitted by the Zombie Hunter leader. It's a side business they have. They have been running it under the nose of the leader, whether it's just to earn extra power or at some point overrun the main base of the Zombie Hunters, we don't know.
"I was sent here to gather a report on them, but they have been keeping a strict eye on me. I'm unable to leave this place and report back. So if I can't leave this place, then I wish to take it down."
This was a surprise. It seemed that although the Zombie Hunters were one large organisation, like an empire and such, when a group got big enough, there would be factions that went against each other.
It did make Zain wonder, though, who was the leader. At least they had the foresight to investigate this matter.
"As you can see, I'm stuck here. How do you plan to even get me out of this place?" Zain asked.
"There is one way," Wendy stated. "We would have to cause a pretty big mess and would need to do it the next time you get called out. You remember that white-haired hunter that was making all of the announcements? His name is Tack. He is the one that's been running this whole thing.
"You see, he has the ability to somewhat control others. It's how he is able to keep the other zombies and demons at bay. I don't know exactly how he does it, since he hasn't done it to any of the contestants.
"However, he's always out on the field. If there was some way to make him accidentally fall during a fight, or maybe even purposely kill him, the control of the demons and zombies on the other side would stop and they would be free to roam. That will be your chance, and my chance to escape."
Working with a Zombie Hunter was something Zain never expected, but for now, it was an option for him.
"I like the sound of making this place a bit chaotic," Zain replied.

The conversation between Wendy and Zain had ended, and there was no real plan for now, aside from getting rid of the white-haired hunter named Tack. However, all Zain had was her word for it. There was a chance that this could all be an elaborate plan to manipulate him into doing something that would justify their decision to eliminate him.
"There's also a chance that Wendy herself doesn't want to be exposed for what she did in the past. She might be having second thoughts about saving me and wouldn't want to be revealed as a traitor," Zain thought as he walked back.
Her actions during the conversation did suggest that she was being truthful. She consistently looked back to see if anyone else was listening in on them.
"Hey, so you're finally back. So, what did the pretty hunter girl want with you?" Dart asked, raising an eyebrow.
"She just wanted to know where I came from," Zain replied. "She was curious about the skills I displayed."
It was a good lie, considering Zain had returned without any injuries or scratches on his body. Even Dart was intrigued by his skills.
"I wanted to ask, what happens to the rest of you? From the conversation we had before, I'm guessing all of you went through the same thing I just did. So, what happens to us now?" Zain asked.
These were some of the questions Zain wanted to ask Wendy, but it was always best to gather information from multiple sources to verify and form his own understanding. Besides, Wendy seemed to be in a hurry to leave the place in the first place.
"You're right," Dart replied. "Every single one of us currently in this cell went through what you just experienced and survived. That's why the mood here is somewhat somber. Some of us came in with friends and allies, but we are all that's left, and none of us really know each other well."
Zain was glad to have someone like Dart there. He seemed to be the type of person who was enthusiastic about any situation he found himself in, while the others were reluctant to talk.
"When newcomers like yourself arrive here, they wait until there is enough for an entertaining show. After that, all the newcomers participate in an event together. Since newcomers are rare, it sometimes takes a while before a newcomer event begins.
"In your case, you were lying on the floor for who knows how long. If you hadn't woken up by the time the event started, you might have just been thrown into the dead pile."
Zain thought that might have been an easier way out of this whole thing. If they thought he was dead, they would have left him outside, and when he woke up, he could have just gone to meet the others.
"As for what happens now, each cell is brought out together in groups. All we can do is wait until our group is called and we have to fight. This isn't the gladiator times. There's no fighting for your freedom, no fighting for honour.
"We're just fighting to see another day in this rotten cell."
Under these conditions, Zain wouldn't be surprised if some chose death when it was their turn for the next event because there was next to no hope. However, that probably made it even more interesting for those who bet on these events.
"I wish... I never joined the hunters!" the woman who was sitting down and had her back against the wall shouted out after hearing everything. Zain had only heard her and Dart's voices before.
"I've been here for two weeks, and in those two weeks, I fought a total of five times, and they still ask me to fight and fight... when... when will it stop?"
Dart looked at the woman and then turned back to Zain.
"Humans are certainly evil creatures to set up something like this, don't you think, Zain?
--
Inside the presidential suite of the large hotel they were staying at, which had been converted into an office, those on the second balcony had gathered. They discussed and talked to the hunters about how and when to provide their deliveries for their betting services.
"That red hair was certainly exciting. I wonder if I could ever convince them to let me take him out of here," the woman in the sparkly dress said.
"Good luck with that. It's hard enough for us to come in and out. They check me every single time for at least six hours, and that's even with no scars or bites," another man commented.
Soon, the doors opened, and Tack entered the room.
"Ah, here you all are. I hope today's event pleased you all!"
The group of people cheered as they saw Tack.
"It was a splendid show. Broadcasting these events live to the rest of the world via the dark web was a great idea. Every day, there are double the number of people watching and betting on all of this," one of the men commented.
"Of course, we always aim to please. The newcomers always bring a sense of unpredictability," Tack replied.
While looking at the group of people, Tack noticed one man, wearing a black mask over his face, who seemed uninterested in the whole thing.
"Did today not please your tastes?" Tack asked.
"Today was a great event. Just like everyone else, I wish to see more of the Red-Haired Zombie. But I do believe the events have gotten a little stale. Why don't we try something more interesting for the next event?"
Tack smiled, rubbing his hands together.
"I believe I can make this whole event very interesting."n0๐ฝ๐ฌ๐ต๐๐๐ฏ.๐ธ0๐ช
The man behind the mask had a thought as he looked at Tack.
'Humans are certainly... evil creatures.'

While in the cells there wasn't much for Zain to do. He couldn't practise using his skills and if he did it would only deplete his energy while in there. Since he had increased his intelligence, it was very rare that Zain had to worry about his body functions deteriorating.
Now though, stuck in a place where he was unable to hunt, who knew how long he would be in here for. Eventually, Zain felt like the best option was to continue to gather information about this place.
Just as he was about to open his mouth though, footsteps could be heard coming down the hallway. A smell lingered with the group of people and it was a smell many recognised. Those that had been sitting down or standing away doing nothing had even reacted to this because it was food.
"Alright, as usual, red trays are for the undead, while the grey trays are for the rest." The man stated. n0๐ฑ๐๐ฟ๐๐ ๐.๐ธ0๐
Each cell door was open and a team of Zombie Hunters would enter the room first with a long pole in their hands. The ends had been sharpened, making them more deadly.
After that, another team followed and placed the food on the floor, the right amount for the amount of people in the cell. Once all that was done they quickly left and continued to do the same for the other cells.
'Although confident that we can't overpower them, they are still cautious of us trying to infect them.'
Although Zain didn't like the group of people, he did have to admit that they were running things efficiently.
What came as more of a surprise was the meal itself. When looking at the red tray in his hands, he could tell it was made up of flesh, and it even had brains in there.
"We get to eat well today." Dart commented. "Most likely they used the newcomers who lost in battle. It's not everyday that we get brains."
Zain had no problem digging in, but he did find the situation a little odd. All in the same room, there were humans eating regular food meanwhile the zombies were eating humans.
"I guess they want us to be well when we fight." Zain replied, putting his tray down. Afterwards, he started to look at the plastic bowl that had been given and the tray itself to see if there was some way he could use these things.
"You're still thinking of escaping, huh?" Dart said. "Don't worry, everyone is like that when we first get here."
"And has anyone tried to escape?" Zain asked.
"Of course." The female voice from before said.
Her name was Anna, part of the Zombie Hunters, as for the reason why she was behind the cell doors no one knew, not even Dart who spoke to everyone.
"No one has gotten very far though." Anna continued. "I think someone might have reached the above reception floor, but you must have seen how many hunters there are in this place.
"All of them, with their powers, even if you can get out of here, it's up there that matters."
Zain wanted a back up plan, just in case fighting, or killing Tack didn't work. All of those in this cell and the other cells had resentment against the hunters, so maybe if Zain was to break them all out, and they fought against the hunters together, it would work.
"People are scared, Zain." Dart commented. It was almost as if he could read the other's mind as to what he was thinking of doing.
"They won't risk their life out of fear, unless there is something else that they fear even more."
After the meals were done, Zain decided to walk around the cell. He made eye contact with a few others and even started to walk towards them. He was hoping to talk to them, to gauge how they felt about attempting a breakout.
However, they clearly weren't interested as many of them would just move away, and avoid eye contact with Zain, if possible. The only two that would talk were Anna and Dart, at least in this cell.
"Come here." Dart said, waving Zain over, when looking at him he felt like he was almost a lost cause, just wandering around the cell room. The footsteps were annoying everyone as well, based on their looks anyway.
"Look, I like you Zain, I think I've made that quite clear from the beginning." Dart said. He started to move further away from everyone to the corner of the cell as if he didn't want any of the others to hear the conversation between the two.
"You're still looking for a way to escape, you still have spirit. So I'm going to tell you something. Don't rush to get out of this place. Just be a bit patient, you won't have to wait long either. They will eventually come save us, so don't worry, and remember I'm only telling you this because I like you."
Dart was a strange person and was confident, even though he was stuck in this place. It had always made Zain wonder how he could be that way, but was this his reason, because he was confident someone was going to break them out.
"Who's they?" Zain asked.
"He's already managed to arrive here, so it won't be too much longer, until the Dark Zombies act."
Zain's eyes widened at the information. He had heard the name before, while staying at Sarah's. The group that called themselves the Dark Zombies, the ones that had attacked Zain, killing Brandon and more, and for some reason had let him live that day.
If they were here with the strong Chained Zombies, then that would change everything.

At first, Zain didn't know what the Dark Zombies were, but having spent time with the Reborn organisation and with Sarah, he had quickly learned about the group. Before joining the Reborn group, Zain had a run-in with them before.
A strange old man seemed to be controlling the Chained Zombies that, at the time, Zain was unable to defeat. After that event, he had travelled solo, trying to do everything he could to grow stronger, just in case he ran into them again.
The thing was, he never did run into them again, yet he had heard of others encountering the Dark Zombies. One of the rules of the Reborn group was not to engage with those who called themselves Dark Zombies and to run away.
As for why, Sarah never really explained. Other than the few details she had told him personally, he had his own guessesโฆ that they were a group of strong Reborn Zombies, much stronger than the Reborn group. Even Sarah knew this, which is why she told everyone to run away.
"If I remember correctly, the Dark Zombies are being run by Sarah's husband, Humphrey Bain. The two of them worked on this whole thing together, but the Reborn Zombies have decided to take another path or something."
Zain's first impression of the Dark Zombies wasn't a good one since they had killed his allies on sight without much discussion, but he still wondered why he hadn't been killed that day.
"In this facility, why am I running into those who spared my life recently?" Zain thought.
Looking at Dart, Zain started to see him in a different light, and now a question had popped into his head.
"Are you part of the Dark Zombies?" Zain asked.
"Oh?" Dart raised an eyebrow. "You don't ask me what or who the Dark Zombies are, but instead ask if I'm part of them. You are an interesting one. I never thought I would see someone who knew about us, yet I know nothing about them."
Kissing his teeth, Zain was a little annoyed at himself for letting that slip, but there was nothing he could do about it now.
"I was part of the Reborn group, so we heard about you but were told to just stay away," Zain answered.
"Oh, that group! I guess you might have heard a few bad things about us then! No wonder you reacted like that. But don't worry, it's normal for one side to bash the other. We're all competing for the same Reborn Zombies, after all."
Zain had to admit he had only heard one side of the story, and he had eventually found out that Sarah wasn't one to trust either, so how could he trust anything she said?
"Anyway, I wasn't asking you to join us, even though that would be a big plus," Dart continued. "I just didn't want to see a fellow Reborn Zombie, as you guys call it, get killed. Not when things are soon to be set in motion. As I said before, just be a little patient before using everything you have to break out."
With that said, Dart started to walk off with a hop in his step. Regardless of whether the Dark Zombies were good or bad, there was one thing Zain was sure ofโฆ Dart had confidence in them to deal with the situation.
"A group of around two hundred Zombie Hunters. That's a force probably bigger than what we could deal with, or even the Reborn group. Are the Dark Zombies that strong, or are they that large in number?"
Since the Reborn Zombies didn't sleep, a lot of time would pass. With this in mind, Zain decided to check his system, examining the others, his stats, and so on. Even as the days passed, he continued to gain experience due to all the territories he owned, allowing him to grow stronger with each passing day. A couple of days had gone by, Zain knew this because of the system, and the hunters brought food as usual. The sound of them releasing other groups could be heard, but not their group.
Eventually, a third day passed, and Zain had levelled up due to the ongoing experience he had earned.
Level 32
Strength: 20
Agility: 16
Intelligence: 30n0๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐.๐0๐
Endurance: 10
He decided to allocate a stat point into his strength, as it was the closest to a round number. He used these benchmarks for all his other skills, and in the grand scheme of things, an extra point in agility wouldn't make much of a difference at the moment.
"This is taking a lot longer than I thought. I thought we might have to fight every day, but it seems they're taking groups out one by one. I have to be much more patient than I originally thought," Zain pondered.
For a moment, he wondered if he should enter the Weapons Carnival. He could return there and continue from where he left off. He had been waiting to become stronger to attempt as many waves as possible, but there was one problem. If he entered, how long would he stay there? What if they came to get him at that very moment? It was too much of a risk, so he dismissed the idea. It turned out to be a good decision because the sound of footsteps could be heard once again, and this time they stopped just outside the cell.
"Alright, all of you, get ready to leave the cell and prepare for a fight!" the Zombie Hunter stated.
"All of us are taking part in this one... that includes Dart. I guess I'll finally be able to see the skill levels of the Dark Zombies after all. Let's see how strong they are."

Just like the time before, Zain was being escorted to the ground floor of the hotel they were in, but this time he wasn't alone. All the people in his cell were chosen to come out. Upon reaching the second floor, the lights illuminated their faces, allowing him to take a good look at everyone.
First, it actually made him realise how bright Anna's hair was, along with her shining blue eyes. If it weren't for all the dirt covering her body, the burn marks, and her somewhat malnourished appearance, she would have been quite the looker.
"She was part of the Zombie Hunters before. I wonder what her power is, and maybe there's a way we could use it," Zain thought.
The other seven or so other individuals didn't look all that impressive upon observing their bodies. There were a couple of confused Reborn Zombies and a few more still wearing the Zombie Hunter uniform. Zain didn't understand why they would wear such a thing even after being sent to a place like this.
"Maybe it's a way for them to show their loyalty, with the hope that they'll be taken back in," he speculated.
Last, there were just regular humans, or at least that's what Zain thought since none of them wore the Zombie Hunter uniform. There was one man who had a more serious look on his face, with straighter posture than the others. From the look in his eyes, he seemed to have more hope than the rest.
"If I were to take a guess, he's possibly in the military. The Zombie Hunters have really caught everyone in here. It looks like they don't care who they anger and they're only in this for themselves," Zain mused, reflecting on their reckless attack on the school without doing any research on their enemy.
Just like last time, Wendy could be seen at the reception of the hotel. Zain made eye contact with her, and this time it lasted longer before she pulled her head away, clearly expecting him to act today.
The target in question, Tack, the white-haired hunter, came out as enthusiastic as ever, with a big smile on his face.n0๐ฑ๐๐๐๐๐.๐ฌ0๐
"Today is a big day for all of you because there's a big event planned," Tack explained. "As you know, all of those in front of us have passed the initiation assessment, so we know they all have some strength.
"It wouldn't be fun to make them go through the same trials again. Instead, we have something else planned. So let me tell you all, if you want to live, you'll need to fight even harder than you did last time."
A lot of the participants standing there started to feel strange parts of their bodies shake. Memories were surfacing of how they had barely survived the previous events, so how would they get through this one?
Without much explanation and no room for questions, they were all escorted into the main ballroom, where the battles were to take place. The same people could be seen gathered to watch the fights, including the prominent VIP guests who would be standing on the second floor.
When Zain looked above, he noticed a woman in a sparkly dress blowing a kiss toward him.
"I bet big on you, red-haired! You better survive this one!"
It was clear that she had a favourite, but there was another VIP who was also staring at those belowโan older gentleman wearing a mask. Zain could tell he was a bit older due to the wrinkles on his hands.
"None of them are a demon at least. I know that due to my own skill, but he feels oddly familiar."
Glancing at Dart, Zain noticed that he, too, was looking up at the VIPs, while the rest were more focused on the task ahead.
"Is he... Humphrey Bain? When Dart said to be patient, is this what he meant?"
"Alright, everyone, I hope you've placed your bets on who will survive this large clash event, as the whole group will be fighting together," announced the voice.
The metal restraints held by the other Hunters were lowered, and they prodded the contestants to enter the centre of the hall together.
"This is a first. They're letting us all fight together?" Anna asked.
"It looks like it, but then you should know what that means. Whatever opponent they have for us is worth putting us all together," Dart replied.
Zain had to agree, looking ahead at the double doors, now focused on whatever was about to come their way.
The large double doors opened, and immediately the first thing the group could see were three demons with their tentacles wiggling behind them in the background, but they weren't alone.
If it were just three Demons, Zain would have been confident in the group's ability to survive, considering they had already defeated at least one before. However, there was more behind them.
There were two Stage 2 Titans and one Stage 3 creature. It was the same type that Zain had fought beforeโlarge in size, with a skinny, bone-like body, but incredibly fast and agile. Zain had defeated one of these before, but without any of his weapons, this might prove to be a challenging task.
"The zombies and demons would never work together. The zombies don't even have enough intelligence to do such a thing. It looks like what Wendy said might be true, that all of this is due to Tack... Do I act now, or wait for the Dark Zombies to act?" Zain pondered.

Everyone who was participating in the fight were all from Zain's cell, and with him being the newest member, it meant all of them had survived, one way or another, the first fight they had. Whether they were fighting against a demon or not, like he had done in his first event, he didn't know.
Still, he expected them to be somewhat skilled, having survived before. Strangely, out of the group, there was a human woman who walked forward first. She stood ahead of everyone.
"What is she doing?" Anna raised an eyebrow, clearly this wasn't the normal action one would take.
The next moment, she started to just run right into the group of enemies and stood there with her arms spread out. One of the demons wasted no time as a tentacle was swung out, going right through the person's head.
The tentacle enlarged as something was sucked out and went toward the demon. The body in front of all, their eyes shriveled up and fell to the floor.
"I guess she was just tired of going through this again and again," Dart commented. "Maybe she just wanted to end it all here. She should have been a bit more patient, right?"
When Dart said these words, he looked at Zain. He was treating him as if he was already part of the Dark Zombies. Although Zain didn't mind this too much, as for now, it wasn't a good idea to make more enemies but to make more friends.
A rush of tentacles from the three demons came down towards them all, and everyone decided to roll out of the way in a different direction. Dart, Anna, and Zain had all rolled in the same direction, missing the tentacles.
However, one person had been caught and was sliced in half by the tentacle.
"That's not good, we're losing some of the good ones," Dart said.
"Weapons!" Zain shouted out. "We need weapons!"
None of the fighters had anything on them, and the sword Zain had used last time had been taken off him. Against three demons and a stage 3, they needed something to pierce their skin.
After Zain's shout for weapons, he had expected someone from the crowd to throw something toward them, but none of them did and just had large smirks on their faces. He even turned up toward the second balcony, but could only see a smile from the woman above.
'They're only going to help us if it fits their agenda,' Zain thought. 'If they've bet against us, for us to die today, then no one is going to help us.'
The group couldn't do much as a set of tentacles were coming their way.
"It looks like your little plan didn't work out too well, but don't worry, I have a backup plan," Dart stated. "Anna, make me two daggers and whatever this guy needs."
Anna's eyes widened.
"How did you know about that?" she asked, but the tentacles were sent towards them again.
They all moved out of the way swiftly, and while moving back, Anna used her teeth to cause a small cut on her thumb. The blood started to swirl out, it started to form a shape, and eventually finished creating a large red solid glaive in her hand.
It looked like a spear that had a sword attached to the end of it. Swinging the glaive from below, she sliced one part of a tentacle. It fell to the floor and wiggled about for a few moments before stopping.
'Is that her power? She can create weapons out of her own blood?' Zain thought.
For the tentacles coming toward Zain, he had swiftly moved to the side and with his bare hands, he punched both of them. They were hard hits that bent the tentacles inward and sent them flying far away.
Both Dart and Anna, who saw this, were impressed. Based on his shape and size, they never expected Zain to pack such a punch.
"Are you going to tell me about how you knew about my power?" Anna asked.
"Do you really think that's important?" Dart ran from where he was, jumping in the air and spinning his body, avoiding the other tentacles and landing right in front of Anna.
He was nimble and fast.
"People like to talk here about what they've seen, so of course, I knew about your power. Now make me some daggers."
Anna looked at how the others were faring. For some reason, the three demons had decided to go against the three of them, while the rest were dealing with the stage 3. For the others who were fighting, it was a complete massacre.
Nearly all of them had already fallen with these strange large white spikes in their bodies. The speed of the stage three was just too much for them to handle. There were only two left who were still alive.
The military man and the Reborn Zombie. The military man was avoiding all of the strikes by the skin of his teeth, but he was tiring, whereas the Reborn Zombie had already been scratched a few times.
If he wasn't already a dead man walking, he would be dead soon.
"You're right, we need to live!" Anna placed the spear in her other hand, and the blood started to flow out from her thumb again. Two small daggers were made, and she quickly threw them to Dart.
He had no trouble catching them, and in his hands and the stance he took, he was a natural.
"And for you?" Anna said, looking a little paler.
In truth, Zain wanted to ask for two swords, but from the looks of things, she could only use so much of her blood to create weapons, and she had to be close to her limit. The good thing was the weapons themselves were sharp, sharp enough to go through a demon's body.
"Just a short sword will do," Zain answered.
Soon, there was a blood sword in Zain's hands, and the three of them were ready to fight.

With weapons in their hands the crowd were getting somewhat excited. Regardless of who they had bet on, they also wanted to be entertained and so far everything was too one sided.
The first to act was Dart, he had no fear with the daggers in his hands, and when the tentacles came toward him he leapt up in the air spinning his body. Several cuts were made along the tentacles, not deep enough to completely slice them off but enough to knock them away.
It didn't take long for Dart to be right next to the demon. He charged in, slicing at its stomach, and then moving his position before he could be hit back. He was being extra cautious with his attacks, hurting it while making sure he didn't get hurt.
Anna, seeing this as her best chance, also started to move forward. One of the tentacles came straight toward her but lifting up her glaive she just continued to run forward, her blood weapons were strong and extremely sharp.
One could see this because when the tentacle touched the bladed edge, the tentacle was just split in half as she continued forward. It looked like even the demon hadn't expected this as the other tentacles were going toward Zain or Dart.
With all the tentacles that were coming toward Zain, he waited for the right moment and then from the bottom, he swung the sword up in a circular motion nearly making a complete circle. It was a smooth motion, there was no resistance as the sword travelled through the tentacles.
When he stopped, four ends of the tentacles had fallen to the floor. The demon tentacles that seemed impossible to cut were sliced with ease.
'This really is a good weapon.' Zain thought, holding it in his hand. He wondered if it was permanent or if there was a time frame as to when the weapon would run out. Judging by the fact that Anna had no weapons on her, it was safer to assume that the weapons would eventually disappear.
"You two, you'll be fine dealing with the demons, right?" Zain asked, not really waiting for an answer as he set his eyes on another.
The Reborn Zombie had just been killed, sliced in half, the top and bottom falling to the floor. Then the stage 3 zombie simply stepped on its head, crushing it. Now there was only the military man that was left.
"I'm going to deal with the bigger problem!" Zain started to run toward the stage 3 zombie.
The military man continued to avoid its blows by the skin of his teeth, but looking at them, he could see a person in particular, standing just by the side.
'That's Tackโฆ right now, it would be a perfect opportunity, to kill him and make it look like I was trying to attack the zombie.' Zain thought.
This was the original plan, the plan set up by Wendy, and looking around the room, he caught eyes with Wendy as well. He could see that she could also see the perfect opportunity.
Running with his full speed, the zombie lifted up its claw and swiped at the military man. The bones in its hands had suddenly extended. This time, the attack would hit the military man even though he had perfected his timing.
A red sword came out from the side, and clashed right on the long dangly bones of the zombie, as the sword and claws were locked, Zain used his strength to move the arm out of the way, flinging it to the side, and swung the sword again striking its hand.
"Booo! Boo!!"
Many from the crowd started to boo, because they had bet on the military man on dying, but instead he had been saved by Zain
'Even if I killed Tack, and started to cause chaos in this room, it wouldn't get me very far. All of the Zombie Hunters could turn on me and try to fry me on the spot, I would have no way of stopping that.'
Which was why Zain thought the best thing to do was to kill this stage 3, get stronger, and just be patient for what was to come.
Zain charged in, and unlike before when he fought against the stage 3, he wasn't on the back foot. His strength with his speed was enough to keep up with the strikes from the creature.
He could knock away its long dangly limbs with his weapon and arms. The blood weapon was indeed very good. Having fought a stage 3 before, he knew its weakness as well.
n0๐ฑ๐๐๐๐๐.๐ฌ0๐
There was a slight soft spot on the back of the stage 3. Which, even with Zain's speed, made it somewhat difficult.
In the end, through their struggles Dart and Anna managed to defeat the three demons. Dart had done most of the work, but without the weapons created by Anna, he might have not been able to get through this all.
The two turned their heads looking at Zain, looking at his skill and speed. There were times, where he would speed up, at a certain point to strike with the sword. He was so skillful, so fast, and it was almost like watching a show the way Zain handled the sword.
"Weapon!" Zain shouted, he could see from the corner of his eye that the other two were done.
Anna didn't hesitate, knowing this person could deal with the creature, and threw her glaive. Jumping up in the air, Zain grabbed onto the glaive and before he landed he hurled it right at the zombie.
It stabbed it in its chest, and it was struggling to pull it out. Landing on his feet Zain ran forward and spun behind it, stabbing his sword through its back, then holding onto the handle with both hands he pulled upwards, slicing the sword through its body and head, cutting it right in half.
Blood rained and fell on top of Zain, as the zombie fell to the ground.

Zain stood there, covered in blood. Parts of it were dripping on the floor. It was an unusual scene for the crowd, and rather than breaking out in cheers as such, the image of him with the blood sword in his hand was rather frightening.
The blood sword broke apart while in Zain's hand and turned into nothing but small red particles that fell to the floor like dust. The same had happened to the rest of the blood weapons that Anna had created.
"It's a good thing I decided to finish that match quickly."
Once again, the first person to start clapping was from above, on the second floor, but it wasn't the woman. Instead, it was the older man with the mask on his face, the one that Quinn assumed was the leader of the Dark Zombies.
Soon, everyone started to clap, but there were, of course, those who refused to, upset that they had lost big time on this bet.
"The way he killed the stage 3 zombie," Tack thought. "He attacked it from behind, aiming for its weakness. That means he knew its weakness, he must have fought one before. This red head zombie is quite special."
"Maybe... I should get him out of here and see if the leader will want to meet with him," Tack thought.
Although Tack ran this whole thing behind the leader's back, he thought of it as a simple side job. He was still quite loyal to the Zombie Hunters and their end goal: getting rid of all the zombies.
"Thank you for saving me," the soldier saluted Zain. His face was wincing, and there was a big mark on the side of his body where his clothes had been ripped. Most likely his ribs were broken, yet he still wanted to salute Zain.
"I will forever remember this, and if I ever get the chance to return the favour in the future, then I will do so," the soldier said, saluting once more.
Up on the second balcony, although most of them lost the fight, they couldn't stop talking about the performance of those below. Not just Zain, but the other two as well. They could tell they were all skilled fighters.
"It's a shame," the woman with the sparkly dress sighed. "With a display like that, I doubt we'll see them fight again. If they can take on a stage 3, well, there's nothing for them left to beat. I believe we haven't seen one beyond a stage 3."
"There are those beyond stage 3," the old man with a mask claimed. "There are even stage 4 and 5 zombies."
"Stage 5?" another commented. "What reports have you been getting? We have had news of a stage 4, and even then it wiped out 300 people, and even uranium rockets were used to eventually take it out. If there were stage 5 zombies, then I'm sure I would have heard about it by now."
The others didn't say anything out loud, but they agreed as well because they all had access to the same private information, but there was nothing about a stage 5.
"The thought makes me shudder a bit," another man said. "If a stage 4 is that strong, just how strong is a stage 5? Would they be able to escape from the military zone? If that happened, wouldn't there be a chance for the infection to spread to the whole country and then to the whole world?"
The people on the second floor weren't from the city. They lived outside of it, where life continued on like normal, but first hand they had seen the effects of such a thing.
"It's not the zombies we have to worry about," the old man said.
The rest of the group returned back to their cell, and as they did, many of the others ran up to the bars. They could see that hardly any at all had survived. It was surprising, and it made the others worry about what was to come when it was their turn to get out of the place.
They were all shoved in, and the door was closed behind them. When the guards finally left, Dart let out a big sigh.
"Finally, we can rest for a bit. Good job, you guys, all of you!" Dart said. "Even you, soldier man. If you had died any quicker, then maybe that stage 3 would have come after us!"
The soldier didn't know whether to take it as a compliment or not, but there was one thing he wanted to correct the other on.
"The name is Kyle!" the soldier almost shouted.
"Alright, alright, you don't need to let the whole room know your name, Kyle," Dart said.
"Zain," Anna called out. "You were so skillful with the sword. How... how can someone your age even use a sword like that? No, how did the Zombie Hunters even manage to catch you?"
For a lot of them, they had only run into a few Zombie Hunters. Usually, they could take on one on their own, but if there were three or so with powers, it would be difficult. But after seeing Zain's skills, they felt like even a group of five would have had a hard time apprehending him.
Just as Zain was about to answer, someone approached the bar cells once again, and it was a familiar face.
"Hey, your girlfriend is back!" Dart said.
Zain looked at the others and walked towards the bars, heading down to the corner where the others were unable to hear.
"Zain," Wendy said. "I thought we had a plan. That was the perfect opportunity to get rid of Tack."
"I only do things if there's a 100 percent chance of survival," Zain replied. "Tack will have to go some other way."
Wendy couldn't be too hard on Zain because she knew that she was asking a lot of him. While she was thinking about what to say, an echoing tap was heard coming from one of the other cells.
Immediately, Dart ran toward the cell doors and held on tight. The next second, several loud explosions went off, shaking the whole area. Some of the ceiling fell to the floor.
"What is going on?" Wendy managed to stop herself from falling over.
"Zain!" Dart called over. "It's beginning. The Dark Zombies are here."

The loud explosions from above continued, and it was hard to tell if they were from actual explosions or just shockwaves sent off due to some sort of attack. If one listened closer, the sound of screaming could be heard as well.
"Is it some sort of attack?" Wendy asked. "But who would even attack a place like this, where there are over two hundred Zombie Hunters?"
Dart, who had come closer to the two, started to laugh.
"You Zombie Hunters really thought you were some type of untouchable force or something?" Dart said, as he continued to laugh. It was hard to tell whether he was some type of madman or knew something that she didn't, but Zain did know.
"Is this the attack you were talking about? Have the Dark Zombies decided to act?" Zain asked.
Dart nodded.
"My friend in the other cell, he signalled that it was time." Dart explained.
"What type of attack is this? Who are the Dark Zombies? I mean, it's impossible anyway. Even if there is an attack, it's impossible for them to get through all of the Zombie Hunters," Wendy said once more.
It was because she was second-guessing herself. Even now, as they continued to talk, screams were heard from above, and the fighting was continuing. If there was a small-scale attack, then it would have been over by now.
"What's your plan? How are we going to get out of here?" Zain asked.
"The plan, we are part of the plan," Dart explained. "It was set in motion long ago. Did you think we were caught and sent here? No, we were here to just pass on information. All for this moment."
Anna had her eyes wide open with excitement as she came over.
"You mean, someone is here to break us out, a group you're part of?" She asked.
Dart looked her up and down and turned away in disgust.
"This whole thing was set up to get rid of part of the Zombie Hunters group. We are zombies, and you have chosen to make us your enemy. It's too late now. We'll get rid of every single one of you."
Anna's hands were shaking.
"You bastard, are we really any different? You were a human before you were a zombie, you're just an undead human. Why are you acting like you're some type of different race? And I helped you to survive!"
"If what you say is true, then why do you treat us so differently then, to the point where you created a group called the Zombie Hunters? Now that you're no longer the ones hunting, you suddenly try to justify why we are the same. It's those kinds of actions that make me sick."
Wendy was gritting her teeth as well, but hurting Dart in this situation would do nothing. She decided it would be best for her to just go ahead and join the others.
"Wait!" Zain called out. "If you want to live, then I think it's better off that you stay here."
For some reason, she felt inclined to believe Zain, even though he was a prisoner while she wasn't. During those few moments, where she thought about staying, the noise of the fighting had stopped.
"It's only been about ten minutes," Wendy thought. A nervous smile appeared.
"It looks like the problem was dealt with after all. I have to admit, you had me worried for a second," Wendy claimed.
"I wouldn't be too sure. How do you know which side has won the battle?" Dart replied.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the underground cellar as people were coming down the stairs. At the same time, another sound followed, something scratching along the floor as if it was being dragged, dropping down from each step once in a while.
'The sound of chains,' Zain thought.
A distinctive memory came back to Zain. Through the dark, Wendy was unable to see so well down the tunnel, but she was sure of it, the ones that had entered weren't Zombie Hunters.
The door to the first cell, the sound of the metal bending, was heard.
"We're saved, we can finally get out of this place."
"Yes, yes!" The sounds of cheers continued.
However, they were followed by a dull scream before there was complete silence. Zain could smell it, it was the smell of blood.
"As I said before, the only ones that will be leaving this place are the zombies and nothing else," Dart claimed.
The sound from before continued, as if metal was being bent, and straight after a few words of happiness before they fell silent. Eventually, the cells that were nearby had caught on.
"No... no, please, I'll stay inside, just don't come in here, don't. I promise I'll stay inside."
"I'm not even part of the Zombie Hunters, I'm just someone that they managed to capture!"
Hearing these words was daunting for both Kyle and Anna. The two of them knew what was to come of them. After they had survived so long, in battle after battle, this was how it was going to end.
"You bastard, if I'm going to die, then I might as well kill you or take you as a hostage or something!" Anna said. She quickly cut her thumb and drew out blood, creating the glaive for herself and a sword for the soldier. At least she knew he was on their side.
"Zain, are you with him? Are you with these Dark Zombie guys?" Anna asked.
Zain wasn't with them, but he was unsure of what his answer should be.
"Yes, I am quite interested in that question as well, Zain," an old voice said from behind.n0๐ฃโฏ๐ฅ๐๐๐ซ.๐0๐ฆ
Turning around, he could see the old man with the mask, and by his side, two zombies with no eyes, just a mouth, and chains wrapped around their arms, dangling on the floor.

The old man with the mask on his face stood there. His mouth raised to the side of his cheeks. His stance showed a large amount of confidence even though he was deep in enemy territory, and by his side, there were two of the chained zombies.
Zain had experienced this scene before, and just like before he felt like he was still in a helpless situation.
'Would I be able to beat them now? It's been a long time. Maybe not on my own, but if I was to summon my horde, I would have a chanceโฆ but why, why didn't he kill me back then?' Zain thought.
Zain could understand when Wendy spared his life, he was aware of the situation he was in, but he had seen the old man, the one named Humfree kill people without a second thought, and he was unsure if there was a reason behind it or not.
The strangest thing about it all, was just like Sarah, there were loyal zombies around him, far stronger than him and listening to his every word.
"It's been a long time Red Head, and in that short amount of time, I would say you have improved quite a bit." Humfree declared. He lifted his hand pulling the mask off his face, there was no longer any reason for him to keep up a particular charade.
His deep dark eyes could be seen, his bald head, his wrinkled skin, and visible veins. It was strange to think of such an old frail man as being so intimidating.
"That day, I knew you were special, and would continue to grow, but I just never thought I would see you in this place? It's strange, I thought by now you would have met up with Sarahโฆ what do the group call themselves again, the Reborn group?"
According to Sarah, she and Humfree had worked together on the virus, but eventually split ways, but her reason, whether it was the truth or not, was hard to say.
"Can you not speak? Have you not met with Sarah?" Humfree asked.
"I have." Zain answered. "She told me about you and your group of Dark Zombies, but I decided to leave them after I found out that she was working with the demons. I left them and ended up here."
Zain had opened up to telling the truth because it would have been hard to hide the fact he knew nothing about Sarah or the Reborn group, but at the end of the day, the two sides were meant to be somewhat enemies.
The reason for him leaving was sound, and essentially Zain was dropping hints to him that at the moment he was a free agent.
"I see where you are getting at. It seems me and you are quite similar in the reason for us parting ways. I guess you want to know the full story, but here is not an appropriate place.
"So I will give you an offer, come, and join us Dark Zombies."n0๐๐๐ต๐ข๐ ๐ฉ.๐0๐
Zain looked around, everyone apart from Dart was mortified, their hearts were beating stronger than before, racing and trying to jump out of their throats.
"Do I have a choice, if I said no, then what would you do?" Zain asked.
The creepy smile on the man's face appeared again.
"Everyone always has a choice, no matter how desperate the situation may be, but I will say this, you shouldn't ask a question you don't want to know the answer to."
Humfree had the upper hand, and Zain doubted that the only zombies with him were the two by his side. To take out an entire group of Zombie Hunters in ten minutes. There had to be more of them in here.
"I will join, but I have a couple of conditions. The Zombie Hunter girls, Anna and Wendy, you let them live, and also the soldier man back there, I kinda like him." Zain said.
The old man was surprised by this and raised his eyebrows.
"You wish to save themโฆ but they aren't like you, the soldier man perhaps I can understand but the other two, they once tried to hunt you. And, do you really think I have to listen to your demands?"
"Aren't you getting something in return, you are getting me. Besides, both of them I owe them my life at one point of time or another. So if I can, I wish to repay them. I can't just watch them die. That's the type of person I am, as you said, we all have a choice. I'm confident in my skills, I'm wishing to join you because I want to, not out of force."
Wendy and Anna had never been more thankful in their life that Zain was trying to make this deal for them. For Wendy she never really believed in karma, but felt like some was at work right now.
Meanwhile, Humfree was thinking about what Zain said. Based on his performance, he still believed that he was unable to beat one of the chained zombies, but Zain showed confidence like he felt like he could. He knew their strength, so did it mean Zain was hiding something even more than what he showed?
A skill perhaps that they hadn't seen.
'If I remember correctly, he was able to control zombies wellโฆ perhaps that number has become larger.'
"Deal!" Humfree stated. "Welcome to the Dark Zombies, but I'm afraid for your friends, although they will live, they will have to come with us as well.
"I can not allow them to leave this place, so they will have to stay with us, and if they die during our stay, then that is really not my fault. I look forward to working with you, Zain."

A deal had been struck with Humfree, one that he himself didn't expect going into this. His smile was large as he ordered one of the Chained Zombies to use their strength and bend the bars.
They had done exactly that, making it look like an easy task. The others were now happy that they didn't try to fight back.
"Alright, follow behind us, and don't try to do something stupid like run away," Humfree said.
The old man carelessly walked off with the two Chained Zombies following him. It seemed like they were free to do what they liked, maybe it was even a chance to escape, but the words that Humfree spoke rang in their minds.
Dart had run ahead already, joining the large afro zombie who seemed to be a Dark Zombie member as well, and the others that were broken out of their cage. Meanwhile, Zain, Wendy, Anna, and Kyle all trod along at the back.
"Zain... I just want to say thank you," Anna said. "You really had no reason to do that, to try and strike a deal. We don't know what this man is like, and he could have taken out his anger on you or said no and tried to kill you, so I want to say thank you."
After hearing Anna say thank you, Wendy and Kyle were quick to say their thanks as well.
"It's okay," Zain replied. "It's not as if I didn't have my own reasons for saving you guys. I'm not a good person like you think I am. I think a lot of you can be useful in certain situations, but if I saw no use, then I wouldn't have said anything."
Zain's words, they didn't sound like they were joking, but regardless, the fact still remained that their lives were saved. The group could see that more as they walked past the other cells.
The other Zombie Hunters had been killed, and the humans. There wasn't a single one that was left alive.
"We didn't try to kill them all," Humfree said from the front, turning his head around. He was practically shouting back to the others; the distance between the two groups was that great.n0๐ฃ๐ฌ๐ณ๐๐๐.๐ 0๐
"We tried to turn them. Unfortunately, it's a bit harder to turn you Zombie Hunters, and besides, I promise you, not all is what it seems, there is a good cause behind all this," Humfree said.
They found that hard to believe but continued to follow. When getting out of the cellar, they were now in the main reception room, and the sight was a complete bloodbath. Bodies had been split in half, guts were spilled everywhere, and the room was soaked in blood.
The flooring was broken, the side of the walls, furniture, and more. It was filled with the Zombie Hunters' uniforms on the ground.
Walking around the place, there were Zombies, but not regular Zombies. It was those that were Reborn, they had full thought and were going around collecting all of the dead on the ground.
The others found it hard to even walk, as their feet would step on a part of something once in a while. They wanted to be sick, throw up. They thought they had gotten used to seeing death, but this was on a whole different level.
While the others were slowly trodding along, Zain sped up his pace and eventually reached Humfree and the other group. They hadn't gone to the hall where the fights and events would take place.
Instead, they were walking to the entrance, exiting from the place. Zain could only imagine that it was even worse inside there.
"How many of you were there involved in the attack?" Zain asked.
"Oh?" Humfree raised an eyebrow. "You're already trying to gather information. I guess you're trying to get an idea of what our strength is. So, how are we compared to the Reborn group?"
From the initial impression, Zain felt like the Dark Zombies were far stronger.
"There were thirty involved in the attack in total, but we lost two of our people. In turn, though, we gained five allies, including you. So it was a good result."
The others had picked up their pace, wanting to stay close to Zain. They were afraid that the other zombies might attack them at any second and had heard what Humfree had said. They couldn't believe it. How could a group of thirty take out two hundred Zombie Hunters? It made no sense.
"This is a big hit to the Zombie Hunters," Zain said. "Aren't you scared that they might retaliate with full force?"
Zain asked this because that was exactly what had happened to him and his group, a sudden attack.
"Scared of the Zombie Hunters? No, we're not scared of them, but we are scared of one thing, and it's what everyone should be scared ofโฆ Demons. Everyone has somewhat become deluded in their own thoughts... I thought maybe the hunters could help us, but they have just been a thorn in our side.
"I guess I should have killed that person when I had the chance... oh well, it's too late to think about now. Everyone makes mistakes, right?"
The old man started to ramble on too much about things Quinn couldn't understand, but he felt like it wasn't the right time to ask either.
Continuing on, the group finally exited out of the place. They could see the street and a large fountain in front of them. They were indeed in a large hotel venue. Seeing this, they had figured out how the Dark Zombies had arrived because there were several large military-style helicopters outside.
Looking at the helicopters, though, Zain could spot a single zombie standing among them, his clothes soaked in blood; he was sure of it. He was sure he recognized the person.
"That's... the faceless man."

At the entrance of the hotel, just through the large glass doors, Zain stood still as he stared at the man directly in the helicopter. Humfree, along with the Chained Zombies, had continued moving forward.
'I'm certain of it! That body shape, that height, everything about him, it's definitely the man I see in my visions,' Zain thought.
Although he could recognize the man straight away, there were a few significant differences. For one, the man in Zain's mental images that he had referred to as the faceless man, was because at times he would have no features of a face.
There were no eyes, no nose, and sometimes no mouth. At times, there was a mouth, though, and it would move when it spoke, but the person Zain was looking at had all of those things.
A clear strong pointed nose, large eyes, and thick bushy eyebrows. His bald-headed hairstyle was still the same, and even his mannerisms of how he stood up straight were the same as well.
Which was why Zain knew in an instant that they were the same person.
'With his facial features... he seems a bit less frightening,' Zain thought to himself, but it made sense.
He was reminded of a conversation he had with Sarah about his visions. According to her, the system was meant to implement training sessions for the user. A guide on how to use certain things, increasing the chance of the person's survival.
The model for the tutorial, that it had been based on, was this person he could now see. The strongest agent that was in the original Reborn group before it had become a group of Reborn Zombies.
She had stated that he now worked for the other side as well, and it looked like it was true.
'Hey Zain, is everything okay? Why have you just stopped so suddenly?' Anna whispered. 'Are you planning to make a break for it now that we're outside? If that's the case, I'll follow whatever you do.'
The humans of the group clearly didn't want to go along with Humfree, but running would be a stupid idea. Turning his head, Zain looked at the rest of the Dark Zombies that were now exiting out of the hotel.
"For now, I would try to throw away all of those ideas of running away and do your best to fit in or be helpful to them," Zain stated, as he carried on moving forward.
As expected, Zain watched Humfree get on the helicopter with the not-so-faceless man. Turning around, he looked at him and his group, expecting them to follow. The others quickly ran up, staying not too far from Zain, and entered.
There were seats lined up on the side, and each of them took a seat next to each other but made sure that Zain sat on the edge of one of the seats where Dart was sitting as well.
"What's the matter, you're afraid that I'm going to bite you?" Dart asked Wendy, who was sitting on the left side of Zain and was closest to him. "You should relax. If I was going to bite you guys, I would have done so long ago."
The helicopter started to fly off into the air, and the others would soon follow. It was frightening for many of them; it was the first time they had been on a helicopter.
The noise was loud, and for them to even hear each other, they would have to shout at the top of their lungs, and even then, they would have to guess what the other was saying through reading their lips.
Humfree hadn't said anything since they had gotten on the helicopter, but he was making some observations and noticed something.
"Have you met Carl before?" Humfree shouted. "You keep staring his way."
Zain had tried to make it not look so obvious, but it appeared he had failed at doing so. He could only assume that Carl was the name of the faceless man since he was the only one he had been looking at.
It was because Zain was quite surprised. In his visions, Carl was always human, but right now in front of him, Carl was clearly a zombie. That fact might have made him more frightening in itself since zombies were stronger than humans, especially Reborn ones.
"I've never met him before... he just looks strong," Zain said.
This comment had managed to make Carl himself even smile. "I have never seen him myself either," Carl replied back. "But I look forward to working with him."
The conversation was a little strange, almost as if the two were speaking through Humfree while looking at each other.
Observing the situation, Zain was taking in where they had left from. He had an image of the map of the city in his head and in his system. He could now see that they were indeed in the area of the Zombie Hunters.
It was on the edge of their territory that was on the border of the Reborn group's territory as well. It made him wonder if the two groups had a run-in or if the Reborn group knew about this but felt like it was too much of a threat to even attempt to sort it out.
On the map, he had accounted for the different territories, but then what about the Dark Zombies? Where were they based? To Zain's surprise, the helicopters were flying to the centre of the city, where it was believed the high-stage zombies and the demons resided. The most dangerous place that none of the other groups had decided to set foot in.
'For a group to survive here, no wonder they're strong.'

The group continued in the helicopter while looking down below, and as they got toward the centre of the city, the main hub where there would be a number of shops, wide walkways, paths, restaurants and more, all of it was unrecognisable to them.
There were large amounts of grey smoke for one, it was hovering over the city like a type of dust cloud, making it hard to see what was on the streets clearly. They would only catch glimpses of there being hordes of zombies about.
Wendy was looking closely at it all, the Zombie Hunters had sent some groups in as scouts, but they had never returned. Which was the reason why they had decided to expand their area in another direction, and that was how their group had collided with Zain's.
As she watched carefully, she could see part of the grey smoke swirling around and moving in a particular area. She couldn't quite make out what it was, but it was large. That was until a hand had reached out and grabbed one of the buldings.
It was quite clearly a hand, grey in colour with several bite marks on it, but the bite marks were small. No that wasn't it, it was the hand itself, it was gigantic. The hand had spread out and was covering two floors of windows.
Seeing the hand only, she could only imagine what size the whole thing was.n0๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฏ.๐0๐ฆ
"Hey, did anyone else see that?" Wendy asked.
The others were too focused on other things, there was so much of the city to look at after all.
"I saw it." Zain answered. "A stage four zombie, a stage 4 titan."'
The stage 2 titan was perhaps the largest zombie that most people had seen before. There was also the stage three bone zombie, but due to its hunched over position, it felt smaller, and its lack of muscle and flesh made it feel smaller as well.
However, Zain hadn't seen any stage three zombies of the other types, such as the Boil Zombie or the Titan, and he was starting to think there weren't any, until now.
His system had popped up, informing him that what he was seeing was a stage 4 zombie, a Titan type, but just like Wendy, he only saw a hand and nothing else.
"I'm surprised you've seen one of these before, there shouldn't be many of them yet around the outer sides of the city, but I wouldn't worry too much, they are strong fighters, and are helping our cause." Humfree claimed.
Through the grey mist, it was getting harder and harder to see what was going on, but sounds would eventually be heard, and Zain wasn't so sure if he was correct in his guess, but it was almost as if constant fighting was going on.
Groans, small explosions, the destruction of equipment, cars and such all around. Not being able to see it, he was unable to confirm it, or confirm who was fighting.
Eventually the helicopters had reached their destination, they started to lower and travel through the grey mist, and once through it, the area was far more clear underneath it.
The group could see an extremely large manor. It looked like one of those that would be protected by the government due to how large and old it was. With these types of places, they often had protected files and were tourist hotspots.
So there were large fences built around them, with only a few ways of entering and exiting. This stayed true, apart from there being a pile of cars at all of the exits. Blocking people from getting in and out.
The front garden was extremmly large, and calling it a garden wasn't quite right either, it was more like a field. It was filled with zombies, but not regular zombies, those from the Dark Zombies.
On top of that, there was a large pool at the front, and then finally at the rear there were large fields again that seemed to be connected to some type of forest at the back. It was quite amazing to see a place like this, in the middle of the city.
It most likely only worked out because it was a protected historic landmark, but was now being used as the Dark Zombies' base.
The helicopters landed on the back field, with the others still in the air landing later with the attack group.
"Let's head inside to somehwere more comfortable." Humfree said.
All of the other zombies went off to do as they wished, including that of the faceless man. It looked like things were less organised here compared to the Reborn group. There were even some zombies that looked like they were just sunbathing as they had a sunbed out and were just lying there in the fields.
However, the number of them were quite high, at a guess Zain assumed around 250. When they got to the back of the building, many of the zombies around had noticed who was with them.
They could see a couple of new recruits, and some unexpected guests.
"There are humansโฆ It's been a while since humans have been brought in." One of them said.
"Maybe they're here just as an emergency fresh snack or something."
"Hey, don't talk like that, if Humfree brought them, there could be a chance that they're very special guests."
Inside the large building, Humfree walked around while others waved at him, and he had eventually entered the library. What everyone noticed was that the two zombies with chains around their arms stayed right by his side, never leaving.
"Please, all of you take a seat." Humfree asked.
There was a large sofa that could seat around ten people at the back, so all of them sat there including Zain.
"I might as well tell you all, since you are all here at the Dark Zombies base, but what you might hear will shock you. Because, there is a reason why the zombies exist and if we were to get rid of them, then it would doom us all."

If anyone else had said these words, Zain would have regarded them as a madman, and the others sitting on the sofa felt that way now. However, Zain knew from the system message that the person in front of him was one of the creators or one of those who started the zombie apocalypse in the first place.
That was why he was inclined to listen to what he had to say. As for the others, they believed there had to be a reason why all the zombies were following this man, so they paid attention to his words.
"I see I have managed to get all your attention," Humfree smiled. "First of all, I think it's important to mention to all of you that this isn't mine and Zain's first meeting, unlike the rest of you, isn't that right?"
The others turned to Zain. They didn't really know him that well. After all, they had only met him in the prison or outside for a few seconds.
"That's right, and I think I should mention that the last time we met, you had killed a few of my friends." The others' hearts started to thump upon finding this out. If Zain knew he was such a dangerous man, then why would he agree to come with him?
In the end, what choice did he really have, though?
"I see you're not shy about sharing things," Humfree laughed off the comment. "But you see, there was a reason for doing what I had done back there. Just in case no one knows anything, I will explain with a bit of context.
n0๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฏ.๐0๐ฆ
"Back then, Zain was travelling with a group of humans, as well as those who are like himโconscious zombies. However, I'm sure some of you know that there are things in this world that we now call demons, and they have the ability to shift into a human's skin, disguising themselves as one of you. I apologise for what happened back then.
"But I did what I did because one of the humans you were travelling with was, in fact, a demon. Killing them allowed you to be saved back then. Otherwise, at one point or another, you would have all been unexpectedly betrayed and killed on the spot.
"You see, these demons are tricky, difficult creatures because you have no clue when they have taken over someone close to you. If they manage to absorb them as well, they will even have the human's previous memories, making them almost indistinguishable from the person they stole."
If there was one thing the group could be sure of, it was the hatred that Humfree had for these demons. He had made a couple of comments on the way here that had made that quite clear.
"Are you stating that they were all demons at that time?" Zain asked. "I doubt that very much, and how can you be so sure there was a demon among us? Or are you just untrusting of all humans in general?"
The others raised their eyebrows because they thought Zain had a very good point.
Humfree dug into his pocket, pulling out a small square device with a screen and an arrow on it. The arrow was dead in the centre, unmoving. It somewhat looked like a radiation scanner one would see on TV shows.
"This is a device that I managed to create myself. It works within a 1-kilometre radius," Humfree explained. "The pointer in the centre will start to move to the right when it gets a signal, but it's very sensitive. When it detects that there is a demon, the pointer will go straight to the right, so I am unable to use it to pinpoint who the demon is.
"A few adjustments need to be made, and then we might be able to do it in the future. But you see, it was this device that allowed me to know there was a demon among you back then. At the same time, I want to make it clear that this device is on even now, and it's only because there are no demons among this group that I decided to allow you to come back."
Zain started to think back to their initial interaction. Out of all those who were killed, all of them were humans. All the Reborn Zombies had managed to survive. The reason why he was left alone was somewhat making sense... but then why not just tell the group? Perhaps they could have outed the demon by acknowledging they were among them.
Perhaps Humfree just didn't want to take the risk. From what they knew of him, he would never allow a demon to roam free.
"There is another thing... I wonder how Humfree would react if I told him I can detect who is a demon and who isn't. The system reward I received. It will tell me instantly. I didn't have it back then, so I can't confirm, and I have yet to see a demon disguised since then."
"Now that all of that has been cleared, before I continue explaining what the Dark Zombies are and what we do, I need to ask you a question, Zain. I'm guessing you were with the Reborn Zombies before?"
Zain felt like there was no need to hide his situation. Humfree wouldn't be explaining all this and then just kill them after. Only a madman would waste his time doing such a thing.
"Correct," Zain nodded.
"I see, so that means you would have met my wife, Sarah. I am quite happy to hear that she is still alive. I should have guessed with the Reborn group still running strong. Again, for those who don't know, I am Humfree Bain, and I run a group called the Dark Zombies, a group of zombies that have consciousness.
"While my wife, her name is Sarah Bain, runs a group of zombies called the Reborn group. At one point, we had the same goal, but we started to drift away. I don't know what Sarah told you all, but I am here to tell you the truth and nothing but the truth.
"And first, you should all know that I and Sarah were both the ones who created the zombie virus."
Zain picked up clearly on the words that were used. He said "created," and not "found" like Sarah. Just why would someone want to create Zombies?

It was strange. You would think anyone who had actually caused the zombie apocalypse and this disastrous situation would have kept it quiet to the best of their abilities. Yet, here Humfree was, claiming that he and his wife had created the zombie virus, and quite proudly.
"Judging from your reaction, I'm guessing Sarah might have told you differently," the old man sighed, like a father disappointed in his kid's actions. "You see, all of what I am about to tell you is true.
"Both Sarah and I were scientists for the military. Our job, though, was to produce the next set of bioweapons. I'm sure you have probably heard of biowarfare before, but you see, we were also tasked with creating a solution that would increase the strength of our own forces," Humfree explained.
"Now, you might be surprised at what I'm about to tell you, but we had virtually zero successes. Only small ones here and there, but nothing that would be winning us any awards. But something had occurred.
"A drastic change that would force all the world governments to work together."
--
20 years ago.
A meeting had been called, where the Prime Minister, as well as high-ranking military officials, top scientists, and more had all been summoned. They were sitting in one room, with several guards standing by the door.
Other than the look on the Prime Minister's face, the others all looked nervous as they turned to each other.
"Before you came in here, each one of you signed a very important contract, so I'm sure you all know just how confidential this project that I am about to talk to you about is," the Prime Minister said.
He stood up and paced around the oval desk where the others were sitting.
"You might find all of this hard to believe... but I think it might be easier if I played you the video instead."
A projector rolled down from the top of the ceiling, and a video started to play. There was a person on the screen. They looked hurt, with scratches and burns on their face, and their hair was oddly purple.
If one saw a human with purple hair, they would automatically assume it was dyed. But when looking at this person, the hair colour appeared natural. The facial hair and eyebrows were all just perfect in colour.
"My name is Bookloh. Please do not be frightened by this message. I don't have much time, none of us do, which is why I am sending this out. Our planet was attacked by what we have called Deemoon.
"They came through a meteor shower that hit us. They appeared small in number at first and weren't too difficult for us to deal with. But somehow, they started to multiply and grow in number, at the same time they were growing stronger as well.
"We are but a small resistance force now against them, and I don't think we will live much longer. Which is why I am sending out this message to warn you. We have managed to obtain some information from the Deemoon.
"They seem to have done this before, travelling to different planets. Based on the information we have, their next target is you. That is why I have sent out this video. If we fail to get rid of them, then I wish for the next to have more of a fighting chance.
"If you wish to confirm the information I have sent you is true, then please have a look at these coordinates. May you be blessed."
The video ended, and the lights in the room turned on.I think you should take a look at
"Is this some kind of joke, sir?" one of the men asked.
"Does it look like I am laughing? Would I bring you all here because it's a joke?" the Prime Minister replied. "The original footage that was sent to us was in a strange language we did not know.
"We received the information from afar, and when downloading the device, it went through our database, and the video's language had changed to English. It is clear that the technology of those who sent us this is far more advanced than our own.
"Finally, we checked the coordinates that had been given to us. We have confirmed there is indeed a meteor strike heading our way. It will reach us in approximately 20 years' time.
"We have gone through several solutions already, trying to blow these things up before they even reach us, but it will just cause even more trouble for the entire planet. We currently have around 20 years' time before there is an invasion of Earth."
--
Humfree explained the events that had occurred back then.
"You see, we were aware that something was coming. They even sent us some basic information on the demons' appearance and their skills as well. The military had managed to act relatively quickly all around the world.
"But they had no answer for this city. The main area that was affected and had the most meteorites fall was right here. The information we got from our aliens showed us a few things as well.
"They had nuclear weapons just like us, and they had tried to use them on the demons. However, for some reason, that only accelerated their growth. In fact, it showed that when they attempted using nuclear weapons, that was when the demons started to multiply.
"Since all the information we received so far seemed to be true, the military won't test it out on this city, and instead, Sarah and I were left to come up with a solution. Care to guess what that solution was?"
After hearing everything so far, Zain had a pretty good guess. Based on the way Humfree was proud of those around him.
"The zombies."

It was an interesting tale, one that was almost impossible to believe. But then again, if they hadn't experienced the current situation and gone through the things each one of them had, none of them would have imagined the current world the way it was.
"Why zombies though?" Wendy spoke up for the first time. "At the same time, when the demons appeared, people started to gain powers. We have the superhumans. So why did you attack the Zombie Hunters when we could help you?"
Being a Zombie Hunter herself, she felt the need to somewhat defend her cause, but she was careful with her words not to offend. Thankfully, Humfree just laughed off the comment.
"The answer is simpler than you think. In the first place, you were the ones that chose the zombies as your enemy by your name, rather than accepting the situation. When the demons are our real enemy.
"But regardless of that, the answer is simple," Humfree explained. "It's because the zombies are superior, and I'm not just talking about the conscious ones like we have here or at the Reborn group.
"Think about it for a moment. Zombies are creatures that naturally unlock more strength within humans. They feel no pain, and they can be injured almost anywhere on their body other than the head without problems.
"This makes them practically fighting machines, but that's not even the best part. The virus inside them condenses the cells into the shape of a crystal. When one zombie dies, another is able to consume it, and in turn, they continue to grow stronger.
"A large army that even in death can pass on their strength to another."
Zain understood what Humfree was talking about. He grew stronger from the crystals, and testing it out on the others showed that they could as well. As for the growth he mentioned, there were Stage 3, 4, and possibly 5 zombies. He couldn't imagine the demons having an easy time taking them down.
"All of the superhumans you're talking about are byproducts. The virus is somewhat airborne. The cells have already entered your body but mutated you in a different way. You guys, the superhumans as you call it, are just a simple byproduct.
"You might have powers, but that's it. The powers don't grow. You aren't strong enough to defeat the demons. However, you can still help by at least using a part of your body in death."
Wendy wanted to argue back. The way he was talking, it was as if he didn't value life at all. He just wanted to accomplish his goal, using the creation he made.
"Why are some conscious and some unconscious?" the soldier asked.
"That is a good question, one for which we haven't found the answer. When creating this virus, we went through many phases of experimentation. We found that some had consciousness while others didn't.
"It wasn't part of the solution itself but seemed to change on an individual basis, almost like a different mutation, similar to that of the superhumans. We ran multiple tests trying to fix it or create a type of vaccine that would allow everyone who came into contact with the virus to be conscious.
"Yet, time was running out. In a desperate attempt, we had to start running real-life trial tests. The military made us a private branch called the Reborn group, and if we were ever to be discovered, the government could distance themselves from us that way."
The real-life trials were the cases that must have happened before the meteor strike. Zain could only imagine. He remembered being told by Skittle and seeing the videos on the dark web.I think you should take a look at
'A lot of people believe that the meteor strike and the zombie outbreak happened at the same time, so they had to be related, but the cases before on the Dark Web prove it otherwise. This explains it,' Zain thought.
"There was one breakthrough. Using the crystals and cells from inside those that were already zombies, we could create a new crystal. If a person were to come into contact with the crystal, part of the virus would already be inside them," Humfree continued.
Now Zain was putting it all togetherโthe crystal that Sarah had, the one he had found, which contained the system she implemented.
"Although that wasn't a solution for all. Many zombies had to be created in the first place to create just one crystal. In the end, we ran out of time before discovering a solution.
"The meteor strike occurred and several of our facilities were hit, releasing those we had in captivity, thus spreading the zombie virus."
Zain finally got the answer he was looking for. His involvement in all of this mess was simply an accident. He played no big part in all of this; he was just a string being pulled along in this world.n0๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐๐.๐ช0๐ถ
"You said you and Sarah worked together, but you split both ways. Why? What is the difference between your goals and hers?" Zain asked.
Humfree paused for a second before answering.
"The goal of the Dark Zombies has remained true from the beginning. We are a group of zombies that will take out the demons attacking us. We know that there will be sacrifices, but we will use everything we have to get rid of them.
"As for Sarah, she regrets what she has done. She regrets creating the zombie virus, even though it's our only chance against them. She is attempting to strike a deal with the demons and create a cure to turn everyone back into a human.
"If she succeeds, then we won't have a fighting chance. The virus in the superhumans will disappear as well, and we will be defenceless against the threat."

Chapter 280 A break in
A hard truth had hit many of them in the room, and they were left to contemplate everything they had just learned. At that moment, a lot of them actually agreed more with Sarah than with Humfree standing in front of them.
Perhaps it was because they were human rather than zombies, but even then, when they thought about everything that had happened in the city so far, the cause of most of their pain, in their minds, was the zombies.
The zombies were the ones who attacked, killed their loved ones, and did whatever they could to survive. Some of them had to kill their own family members and friends because they were no longer recognizable. Whereas for the demons, they had only heard a few stories of people encountering them. Wendy had fought against one herself. Sure, they were strong, but they were few in number compared to the zombies, which was why she saw them as a lesser threat.
"I can imagine what you are thinking," Humfree said. "But the only reason you haven't been encountering the demons as much as you would have is because the zombies, including us, the Dark Zombies, have been fighting against them this whole time. Your lives are as peaceful as they are because of us."
Those words silenced any thoughts of protest. It was quite clear to Humfree that his answer was the only answer, and whether it worked or not, he believed it. It made sense for the conscious zombies to follow him as well.
"Thank you for explaining everything to us," Zain said. "I have now heard both your and Sarah's side of the story. Both of you were trying to give the human race a chance to survive and had decided on the best method."
In many ways, they were like Zain, but rather than seeking individual survival, Humfree was looking at it from a collective human race perspective. If Zain were in the same situation, he wasn't sure which route he would choose due to a lack of knowledge.
"I see that you somewhat understand, but I'm not sure the rest of you are as convinced," Humfree said, standing up. "Don't worry, I will send you all on a task to the frontline, right here in the city centre, and then I'm sure you would all understand what we have been dealing with this entire time."
As they were about to leave through the same door they entered, someone was heard entering, and they all recognized him. He was chewing on something in his mouth, like a piece of grass sticking out. n0๐๐๐ต๐ฒ๐๐.๐0๐
"Alright, everyone, since I know you all best, I will be looking after you while you stay here," Dart smiled. "And don't worry, I already told the others not to touch you, even if they are a bit hungry."
The usual happy smile was on his face, but now they felt like there was a double meaning behind his words. They got up and started to follow Dart through the large manor one by one. The hallways were extremely wide, wide enough for all of them to walk side by side, and occasionally, the hallways would open up to go in different directions where they could see other zombies hanging about and talking.
While walking, they soon heard the sound of an alarm. It continued to blare for a second before going off again.
"What's that?" Anna asked, her voice filled with concern.
"That meansโฆ someone is at the front gate," Dart explained, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of danger.
They all turned their attention towards the source of the alarm, their hearts pounding with a mix of anticipation and anxiety. Dart and the other zombies that had accompanied them rushed out towards the nearest exit, their instincts guiding them to protect their territory.
"If someone is at the front gate, doesn't that mean we're being attacked?" Wendy's voice trembled with worry.
"So then why do they all have smiles on their faces?" she added, her confusion evident.
Curiosity outweighed their fear, and they decided to follow Dart, their steps quickening as they moved towards the front of the house. They exited through one of the side doors and continued running across the expansive grounds, the tall grass brushing against their legs.
Finally, they reached their destinationโฆ the front gate, and what they saw made their eyes widen in astonishment.
Standing before them was a colossal figure, as imposing as the ancient trees that surrounded them. Its massive form was covered in black, impenetrable armour, resembling a titan from the tales of old. This titan, however, surpassed any they had encountered before in both size and menace.
The Dark Zombies, with their unwavering determination, had already encircled the titan and were launching relentless attacks in an attempt to weaken it. Yet, the titan remained an unconscious force of destruction, its primal instincts driving it to attack anything in its path, be it humans, demons, or even fellow zombies.
"Why is everyone smiling? I don't understand," the soldier spoke, his voice filled with a mix of confusion and awe.
"This is a jackpot," Dart's voice carried a mixture of excitement and determination. "You see, this is a stage 4 titanโฆ an unconscious one. It relentlessly attacks anything it sees, including us zombies. But the key is the crystal inside it."
He paused, his gaze fixed on the titan's towering form, before continuing with a tone of anticipation.
"We zombies grow stronger by consuming the crystals found within these titans. Normally, we have to venture outside these walls in search of them. But now, fate has brought a titan to our doorstep."
A sense of urgency filled the air as Dart turned his attention to Zain, his voice carrying a note of encouragement.
"So, what do you say? Are you thinking of joining them? You are now part of the Dark Zombies. If you take down that titan, it will be a substantial upgrade for you, an opportunity to enhance your strength."
The gravity of the moment hung in the air, the immense titan towering before them, its presence demanding action.

Chapter 281 Taking the stage 4
The group didn't want to get anywhere near the stage 4 titan. It was as if they had been told to go up against a giant, and they saw no way that their involvement could make a difference. Even the Dark Zombies currently fighting were struggling.
Several used weapons to attack the legs, but when they struck it, the blows would just bounce off the hard armour. There were larger Dark Zombie members with giant clubs who managed to whack the sides of the legs, leaving a big ring each time.
This seemed to have some effect on the stage 4, but it still wasn't enough to break through the armour.
The stage 4 itself, despite its size, wasn't completely slow. It swung its arm, and the Dark Zombies would often attempt to warn each other, but one person was too slow and had been slapped to the ground. Immediately, his body went flying in the air, and as he hit the ground, his bones could be seen twisting and breaking in ways they wouldn't on a normal human body.
When he eventually came to a stop, the zombie blinked a few times. "Ahhh, damn it!" the zombie shouted, and a few others rushed to his aid. He was still alive, and it was a good thing they were unable to experience pain.
Then there were those zombies capable of flight. Zain had never seen this before, but they had summoned wings from their backs and were flying in, striking at the stage 4's head.
It was annoying the large zombie, like a swarm of flies. Still, it demonstrated the sheer might of the stage 4. If it were to face just one of these zombies on its own, it would be able to beat every single one of them in a fight. But together, they were able to do something.
"Why isn't everyone taking part? What about you, Dart?" Anna asked.
"Only the zombies who think they have a chance at taking that thing out are participating," Dart explained. "The ones on the side, like us, know we don't stand a chance, or maybe we've tried before and failed. These guys have most likely all taken out a stage 3 before, so they think they can do this. They're blinded by their greed to get stronger.
"However, the gap between the stages is incredibly high. I don't bother because I know I can't beat it."
Zain looked around at the others who were watching, and that's when he spotted someone familiar.
"Then what about him, Carl... was that his name?" Zain asked, thinking that it was best to stop referring to him as the faceless man.
"Oh, him. Well, Carl is a different case," Dart explained. "He always gives everyone else a ten-minute head start. If he didn't, all the crystals would just end up falling into his hands. This is the Dark Zombie group, not the Carl group. Although there are no rules against it, if he wanted every crystal for himself, that's just something he has decided."
[New quest received]
[Defeat the stage 4 titan]
[Diamond reward available]
As soon as Zain saw the stage 4, the quest popped up, and due to the level of reward he would receive for completing it, he also knew that it would be a next to impossible task, unless there was one thing he could do. n0๐ฝ๐พ๐๐๐๐ซ.๐ช0๐ฆ
And that was to wait until the very last moment and take the kill. But judging by how the other zombies were doing, it was unlikely that would happen either.
"I'll wait ten minutes as well, just to make it fair," Zain commented.
Dart couldn't help but laugh. There were many like Zain who were competitive and wanted to prove that they were the best among those present, but no one had ever defeated Carl. When they witnessed his strength, they quickly gave up on that idea.
Although the Dark Zombies seemed to be faring better now. Realising that they couldn't defeat stage 4 on their own, they began working together. The larger zombies, who seemed to possess greater strength with their clubs, took turns delivering powerful swings to one side of the stage 4's ankle.
It was a successful hit, causing the zombie to stumble to one knee. While it was in the midst of stumbling, the flying zombies charged forward, aiming piercing strikes at the top of its forehead.
A loud clang was heard, but the spear-like weapons they had used were bent in the attack, and there were no marks left on the stage 4 in the end.
Lifting its hands, the stage 4 swung them in an attempt to swat away the little fly-like zombies. One missed, while the other hit, taking another zombie out of the fight.
Multiple zombies jumped on its back, attempting to climb up to the back of its neck. They had a strong grip, and some seemed to have specially made equipment on their fingers for doing such a thing. But Zain had seen this before; he knew what the titan did when something was on its back, and he could only imagine how much worse it would be with a zombie this size.
Getting back up on its legs, the stage 4 jumped and fell with its back towards the ground. Some of the zombies let go and ran off, escaping whatever fate awaited them. Others were pulled out by their friends or the flying zombies. The zombie landed on its back, and thankfully, no one was hurt by its attack, but it was certainly a close call.
At that moment, Carl started to move forward. "Ten minutes are up, and things are looking a bit dangerous now anyway," Carl said.

Chapter 282 The power of enhancement
Immediately after the ten minutes were up, Carl started running across the long field. He wasn't moving incredibly fast, but his movements were smooth and confident, without a hint of hesitation.
His legs were gliding of the crass and with each step, it looked almost as if the grass was moving to the side for his feet, rather than it being trampled on. n0๐๐ฒ๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐.๐ 0๐
Some of the other zombies who could see Carl running toward the stage 4, started to give up as well, moving away. However, others saw this as a sign to push harder.
"Crap, he's participating! We don't have much longer, come on, let's finish this!" One of the Zombies shouted, and they all knew what was coming.
The ones flying above the Stage 4 became more desperate in their large-scale attacks, flying at full speed and striking with their hands. Despite their powerful attacks that could easily bring down buildings, they were unable to take down the Stage 4.
Eventually, Carl got close enough and leaped off the grass, reaching head height with the Stage 4. It seemed that Carl had caught the attention of the zombie, as it started to ignore everyone else around it.
The zombie tightened its fist and threw it at Carl. The fist was much larger than Carl's entire body, and after witnessing the devastating effect of a simple slap, they expected the punch to splatter Carl's body like a bug hit by a high-speed car.
However, Carl extended his own hand, which started to change, encasing itself in a hard black skin. The others were surprised, but Zain wasn't. He had seen this before with Pink and the others in his group, so he expected some of them would have this ability. Observing the other zombies attacking the Stage 4, he had noticed a few of them doing the same, indicating there was something more to it.
As Carl's fist hardened with the black substance, he stretched out his fingers, causing cracks to appear throughout the hardened skin. Within these cracks, red lines of energy flowed, resembling a broken river.
This was what Zain had been searching for. He had never seen this before. Carl thrust his hand forward, his glowing red fist striking the large Stage 4. As they collided, the red from his fist began to glow even brighter, pulsating with power.
The outer casing on the Stage 4 started to break, and a shockwave of power was sent out simultaneously. Carl had managed to match the power of the giant Stage 4.
While falling back to the ground, Carl pulled out two daggers from his belt. They appeared to be regular weapons, but as soon as they touched his hands, they too were covered in the special hard casing, turning completely black. They resembled the titan swords that Zain used, but they had been made on the go.
Throwing the daggers, one of them hit the Stage 4 in the head, cracking the outer shell and protruding out. The other dagger struck the bottom shin of the Stage 4, near its feet.
As soon as Carl landed on the ground, he dashed forward. With his one glowing red hand, he prepared for another attack. He threw it, hitting the handle of the dagger embedded in the foot.
The hard black outer casing cracked even more, revealing the exposed flesh underneath. The titan looked like it was in pain as it fell to one leg again, clearly injured.
"Part of the hard armour is exposed! Let's go for it!" one of the zombies shouted.
The other zombies that had backed off immediately went for the injured leg. It was strange, but just like with the Stage 2 Titans, it seemed that the zombies could feel pain after the outer skin was damaged.
This was something Zain had discovered. While watching Carl and witnessing his abilities, an immediate thought entered his mind.
"I can't beat this person," Zain thought. "Even if I were to use my Horde and everything at my disposal. It's clear that he is an enhancement type. The ability to coat any weapon... I thought my ability to create weapons was strong. If I were to face him head-on in a fair battle, I would undoubtedly lose."
Wendy was observing Zain more than Carl, sensing his calculations and the comparison he was making with the Dark Zombies. His mind was always working, analysing the situation.
"The Dark Zombies, they're strong. They're really strong. We have no chance of getting out of here. Is that what you're thinking too, Zain? Or are you considering that there might be a way?"
While the other zombies focused on attacking the exposed leg, Carl's attention was elsewhere. He noticed the head of the Stage 4 tilted down to observe its attackers. Seizing the opportunity, he jumped onto the bent knee of the Stage 4.
Using his single red hand, he pushed off the leg and thrust his fist up towards the second dagger, hitting the handle once again. Large cracks appeared, and any moment now, the pieces of hardened skin would fall off.
"Those guys... Did they forget everything, despite being zombies themselves? If they want to kill the zombie, they need to go for the head. The leg was a distraction in the first place. Carl was in it for the kill from the beginning, and so was I."
"Anna, can you make me a blood spear, as large as you possibly can?" Zain requested.
Anna was taken aback. "Um, yeah. Are you planning on joining the fight? It looks like it's about to be over."
"Yes, I am. I need that reward," Zain replied, smiling to himself.

It was quite clear from the look on Zain's face that he indeed was going to take part, and knowing this Anna decided to help him out. She bit into her thumb and it started to form into a blood spear. Just as Zain had asked she made it quite large in size.
Still, the handle where it could be held in the centre, she made sure it wasn't too thick so that Zain could still hold onto the spear. She was just worried that it might turn out to be too heavy for him, to take part in the fight.
'At the moment, in this place, it feels like we're all some type of trapped survivors, and he's the closest one to our side. He saved our life, so I should try and trust him a bit.' Anna thought as the spear was finished being made.
It was floating there in the air, with some parts as thick as a human's body. Holding his arm up, Zain grabbed it there and then with a single hand holding it with no problem.
'His strength must be quite high as well. It looks like he's got some things up his sleeve, but why join the fight now, when it looks like it's already over.' Dart thought.
Holding onto the spear, Zain then started to run, he ran at a great speed across the field. Everyone was surprised, because it looked like it was faster than Carl had done. However, the movements weren't as smooth. The grass was being trampled on aggressively as he pushed as hard as he could.
Then he could see it, the broken part of the stage 4, falling, and Carl gearing up for another big punch. Swinging his arm back, there was one more thing Zain wanted to do.
[1 strength stat]
Having fought in the strange place that was controlled by the Zombie Hunters, Zain had managed to level up one more time, but yet to use the stat. He didn't know how much this would help, but he wanted this.
'I need to get this stage 4, I need to complete these quests, if I have any chance of competing and catching up to Carl!' Zain thought.
He pulled back his arm, then leaning his body forward he hurled the blood spear with all of his might. It was breaking through the air, going past everything. Some of the zombies that were standing further back so when it went past they could see right where it was heading.
Carl, was too busy, focused on killing the stage 4, as he kicked off the ground jumping in the air once more, and when to throw out his fist, but right by the side of his face, the spear impaled the stage 4, hitting it right through the head, while Carl's fist had hit the outside, pulsing, before the head had eventually exploded due to the strength of the hit.
The spear carried on forward and got caught in the ground, standing tall, full of blood. While Carl fell to the ground, along with the Stage 4 Titan, looking back, wondering where the attack had come from.
"Did somone just throw that?" A zombie asked.
"Yeah, I saw it go right through the zombie's head."
"Yeha, but did you see Carl's punch explode the head?"
"Wait, but the spear went through the head first, so whoever threw the spear killed the stage 4 right?"
"That depends, what if the spear didn't kill the zombie, how can we tell who killed the stage 4 first, how do we decide whose it rightfully is."
"What we need to figure out first is who threw the spear."
The others that were by Zain's side were amazed. It looked like it was what he was going for from the beginning. He knew he didn't have the strength to kill the zombie, so when it was at its weakest, he did something that only he could possibly do, and it worked, at least they thought it worked. I think you should take a look at
Because even they were unsure who had killed the zombie, was it Zain or was it Carl. Looking at Zain, they were thinking he would go forward, maybe talk with Carl and decide who deserved the crystal inside of its body, but there was no need.
Zain turned around, and there was a big smile on his face, when walking back to the others.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Dart asked. "Don't you want to fight for the crystal in the body?"
The other zombies had gathered around the stage 4. Although they didn't kill it, they were trying to help get the reward, they knew it belonged to someone, and they weren't going to take it for themselves otherwise they would have to answer to Humfree, but as they cut the body up, more and more, they started to realise something.
"We can't find itโฆ we can't find the crystal!" A zombie shouted.
"What?" Dart raised an eyebrow. "That's impossible, there has to be a crystal, every stage 2 and above zombie has a crystal in their body, this has never happened before, just what is going on."
The group continued to search, but they really were unable to find anything, and even if they continued to search all day, they would still find nothing. The reason Zain was smiling was because he already knew, that he had gotten the kill.
[Diamond quest completed]
[Diamond card has been received]
'Thisโฆ this is what I need if I want to catch up with Carl, and survive in this world.'
When Zain defeated an enemy, the crystal would automatically turn into experience as well, and due to the level of quest there was quite a boost.

On the top floor of the manor, there was a balcony that looked out onto the fields. Standing there with his two chained zombies by his side was Humfree. He had his hands behind his back, and he was watching everything that was going on.
The smirk on his face was wide and so high, almost touching his eyes.
"I knew he was impressive when I saw him at that place, but I never expected him to be this good. I can feel it, he might be the one that will help create a big change in this world. With him, there is a good chance that we can progress forward."n0๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐๐.๐ช0๐ถ
Not only did Zain receive the Diamond reward for defeating the stage 4 zombie. There were also the normal rewards that had come with it. This allowed him to level up a total of three times.
[Level 35]
With three level ups, there were three stat points, and this time, to go hand in hand with his strength, he increased his agility.
Agility: 16 19
Both of the stats went hand in hand with each other. Even if he had great strength, it didn't mean he could deliver a forceful punch like that of Carl. It only meant that he could lift things or push things harder than others.
However, for power, there needed to be speed on top of that punch to deliver a large blow. Honestly, he would have liked to increase his intelligence to enable him to control a larger number of zombies in his horde, but after seeing Carl, there was a competitive nature inside Zain.
'Let's go ahead and see what this reward is.' Zain thought.
[Diamond reward has been used]
[You may now receive your reward]
[15 Stat points have been given]
[Note: these stat points can only be used on one stat and cannot be distributed between different stats]
The reward was a huge boost to his personal strength. With most of his stats, apart from intelligence, hovering around the 20 mark, a 15 stat boost would almost double one of his stats. It was almost as good as the max stat reward at this rate.
What the real struggle now was, which stat it would be best to use it on.
"Man, no matter what they do, it looks like they can't find the crystal." Another zombie said who was relatively close to them.
They had dissected the whole stage 4, thinking that maybe it wasn't in the usual place. A crystal that strong would boost their strength multiple times. One person had given up looking though, and that seemed to be Carl, who was making his way back to the manor.
"Well, I guess that crisis is over, right?" Dart said. "So we should probably go back to what we were doing."
Dart headed back into the manor along with the others. He showed them where they could get food if they were hungry. There were no rules on rationing food out or anything like that, and that went for zombies and humans.
He then also showed them where they could relax and where they could practice fighting. Although he stated that most of the fighting was to be done outdoors as they didn't want to ruin the building they had.
Although most of the place seemed to be relaxed, there were some rules they needed to know about. Humfree would come to them if he needed them. If they wished to talk to him, then they were to ask a female zombie named Claire who would often roam around on the second floor, below where Humfree himself would stay.
Claire was somewhat the boss that ran the place when Humfree didn't, it seemed. If there were issues or problems they wanted to discuss, even ideas about what they would like to do, they would have to go to Claire.
According to Dart, she would actually say yes to most things. If a group wished to go out and hunt, then that was fine with them. There was no tracking, making sure they came back. The only time they would say no is if there was a lack of people at the base.
It seemed this freedom, this style of working, was what everyone liked about the group. They seemed to be more loyal. When Zain thought about it, where did the zombies have to go? Sticking together was the safer option.
Finally, Dart explained things like the sound of alarms that would go off if they were under attack or if there was a big meeting to take place. The examples he gave here were the plan where Dart and the other Dark Zombies were to be captured on purpose, and of course, the rescue attempt and annihilation of one of the Zombie Hunter groups.
"Alright, and here we have your sleeping area!" Dart smiled. "There are a lot of empty halls in this place. Apparently, they were used for wedding parties and ceremonies, so we have mattresses and beds and stuff, but it's more just for people to relax."
"Erghhh!" Anna raised her hand. She had a question to ask as she looked into the room, which had around 20 to 30 members already inside.
"Yes?"
"Is there a place for humans, or are we expected to sleep side by side with the zombies?" She asked.
"Do you really think you have a choice? Does it look like we usually take humans in?" Dart asked.
"If you're that worried, then you're just going to have to keep watch over each other during the night." Dart explained. "Anyway, it's best you guys get some rest and then get ready. There is an assessment that everyone needs to do here, so we can tell how useful you are and what your strengths are."
"Assessment?" Wendy asked.
"Yeah, Humfree wants you humans to take part as well. You remember Carl, that seriously strong zombie? Well, each one of you will have to go up against him. So get some rest, so you don't die."

Chapter 285 Feeling safe
The group had decided to set up in the corner of a room, and it came as no surprise that people were looking at them. The zombies were used to just smelling them around the place, and when they saw humans, it was free reign for them to hunt.
There was an exception, of course, and that was Humfree. But then again, Humfree wasn't sleeping in the same room as the rest of them.
"This is going to be hard," Anna said. "I feel like every single one of them is waiting for the chance to just jump on me."
Wendy couldn't agree more, but there were two people who were fine with it, and that was the soldier man, Kyle. He was setting out his bed calmly, and even straightening it, which seemed pointless in a place like this.
"Would you guys feel more comfortable if I slept away?" Zain asked.
The others had to check that their ears were working properly. It was the first time they had heard him say something so considerate. But for both of the girls, there was the immediate answer that came to their mind.
"No!" they both said at the same time.
"It's okay," Wendy said. "You can stay near us. I don't know why, but I feel safer if you're next to us."
Zain started to set up his bed next to the soldier man. Since they were in the corner, they had set it up in a way where they could corner the two girls, making them feel safer.
When Zain finished making his bed, he looked at the girls. n0๐๐ฎ๐ต๐ข๐๐.๐ฐ0๐ฆ
"I just thought I should tell you, if these guys in this room team up on you and try to eat your brains, I won't be helping you. Now, get some rest."
The two girls were frozen in place for a second. They had no clue as to why Zain would just randomly say that to them.
"Can you believe him!" Wendy said. "Just when I thought he was being nice and considerate to us, he said something like that. Does he have something wrong with his brain?"
Anna was nodding along as she got under her blanket.
"It is a bit strange, though, don't you think? Why do we feel so comfortable with Zain? You have to remember he's like them as well. Which means, just like them, he also eats brains."
The two looked over at Zain again, and then beyond him. Even now, there were some zombies that were feasting on human flesh. The rotten, rancid smell filled the room somewhat, but it was a smell they had gotten used to.
However, the sight itself was still a big stomach churner. Honestly, they both felt in that moment, if it wasn't for Zain, then they perhaps would have gone mad. Since he had protected them back then, when they were stuck inside the cages, they thought he would do the same even though the opposite was said.
--
"Hey, it looks like you guys were able to get some sleep after all. I was a little worried," a voice was heard.
Both of the girls were hugging each other tightly. They couldn't even remember when they fell asleep. All they remembered was being worried, cold, and shaking together. When they slowly opened their eyes, though, they were surprised to see that Dart was standing right over them.
"AHHHH!" the girls screamed, and the sound echoed due to the room they were in. Several angry grunts and growls were coming over from the others. Even Dart was covering both of his ears.
"What the hell! If you guys keep this up, then someone is going to want to eat you just to make you shut up!" Dart angrily said, stomping his foot.
The girls looked over toward Kyle and Zain. Both of them were already awake and preparing. They had put on their thick clothes and some pieces of armour, such as a bulletproof vest.
What they noticed behind Dart was that he had some equipment as well, in a wheelbarrow.
"These are for you," Dart said. "Pick what you want and get ready for your assessment today."
The girls had completely forgotten. Today was the day where they were meant to go up against Carl, the special zombie they had seen practically single-handedly defeat a stage 4.
Looking through the wheelbarrow, they noticed that there weren't just clothes inside but a few weapons. However, the weapons were only melee weapons. There were no guns as such, even though they could see some of the other zombies holding onto them.
It was quite clear that they still weren't trusted with these things, but not that they were the best things to use to fight against zombies anyway.
Even when the stage 4 attacked, not a single one of the zombies had used a weapon. In the end, Anna just selected some clothes that weren't too heavy to wear, with Wendy doing the same.
Anna had decided against choosing any weapons since she could make some with her blood anyway, and Wendy had done the same. Zain, who had been keeping an eye on them, saw this.
"Are you sure about that?" Zain asked. "I know you can make weapons out of your blood, but isn't there a limit to how long those weapons can last? And I assume it makes you feel weak.
"If you have a real weapon on you, at least you can use that in emergencies. Besides, if I were you, I would see how much energy using my blood takes, and then try to use a regular weapon as much as I could before resorting to blood weapons.
"And for you, your power... if I remember correctly, it's something like wind. Well, then, isn't there a way you can use your powers along with these weapons?"
Both of them thought about it, and they realised that Zain was right. All this time, they had been using their powers in the way they thought was best, and here Zain had analysed a better way to use them.
Picking up a few things, they were now ready.
"Alright, it looks like you are all ready. Let's go," Dart said.

Chapter 286 Facing Carl
The assessment was to take place outside at the back of the manor. Here, there were large fields with plenty of people who were practicing their skills. Since the Dark zombies were quite strong, they didn't want to ruin the place they were staying in.
On top of this, because they used it as a place to train, white chalk had been used on the field to draw a few things that would help them in terms of using their skills. Chalk ladders, points to run to and from, and there was also a circular arena.
It was almost like a sumo ring, but with chalk on the outside. They had made it quite large though; it was far bigger than a boxing ring and bigger than the area that the Zombie hunters had used to fight.
Heading to the area was Dart, along with the newcomers. Seeing them walk through the manor, they had gathered quite a bit of attention and noticed that many of the Dark Zombies were now following them.
"Umm, should we be worried?" Anna asked.
"Ah, what them?" Dart glanced behind him. "Don't worry, what you guys are going through, everyone goes through when they first get here. Carl was one of the first that worked by Humfree's side, and I guess he's just always been that strong.
"Everyone knows that you guys are going to take part in an assessment, so they are curious, of course." Dart explained.
Eventually, they had reached the outside chalk-drawn arena, and there were even more of the Dark Zombies that had surrounded the area, waiting for what was going to happen, and the main star people were there as well.
Humfree, along with his chained Zombies, and Carl himself with his arms folded. It was almost as if he never did unfold his arms unless they were fighting.
"Good morning, everyone. As you all know, we have some unique new members that have recently joined us." Humfree started to explain. Almost instantly when he started to speak, the rest went quiet; there was no need for him to even yell or announce he was going to speak.
"Now, I will warn everyone not to expect too much, as those that have arrived this time are quite different from the usual lot."
Some of the zombies laughed and chuckled because it was clear what Humfree meant by different, but the subject of conversation had moved to Zian.
"Hey, I think I saw that guy... that's the guy that threw that giant spear at the stage 4!"
"Wait, you mean it was the new guy, but I didn't even see him on the field. How did he manage to do that?"
Only a few had seen Zain, but the word was now spreading quite quickly, and they were excited to see what he could do against Carl.
"I will go first!" Kyle announced as he stepped forward. He pulled out one short dagger, placing it in front of him while his fist was relatively close to his face. It was a military style of fighting.
"I will find out what this person can do and try to bring out all of their skills so you guys can better prepare yourselves."
The way Kyle was talking, it was as if he expected to lose, but it was clear as day if anyone saw Carl fighting against the stage 4, and everyone watching thought that as well.
Carl looked around before going up to one of the Zombies, and he reached for their dagger. He pulled it out without saying a word, and then came into the arena, staying in the same stance as Kyle.
He stood there in the center until Kyle made the first move, although the first move was putting it lightly. With his two feet still firmly planted to the ground, he was almost shuffling forward.
Carl was doing the same, imitating him. When he got in the center and was within range, Kyle went to attack. He swung the dagger skillfully, going for the vital points in the neck.
They were swiftly blocked by Carl, but Kyle didn't stop there. He went for the arms next. Then, when he was brought in close, Kyle went to grab Carl's arm and pulled it in.
Twisting his arm around, Carl loosened Kyle's grip before kicking him in the stomach. Kyle fell to the floor and skidded across the grass. He was hurt but not too badly.
The soldier was somewhat expecting his enemy to leap on top of him and finish his attack, but that didn't happen at all.
When Kyle stood up, he was able to reposition himself and go in for the strike again. A similar scene from before played out.
Kyle looked skillful with the dagger and using his hand-to-hand combat, but every time he would get close, Carl would do something to get out of the situation and was able to counter-attack.
It was strange. Although Kyle knew Carl was far stronger than him, in the fight, and everyone else watching, they all felt like Carl was only a little better.
"Well, there are two situations to this scenario. Lowering your skill level so you are only a little better than your opponent will allow us to clearly see how good Kyle is. It seems he was a well-trained soldier.
"But someone can only do this if their skill level is clearly above the other. What's frightening isn't just that, but he's also going toe to toe in dagger and hand-to-hand combat against Kyle, which is the soldier's specialty."
Eventually, Kyle had been kicked and punched too many times. He was exhausted and bruised all over. Meanwhile, Carl hadn't been touched.
"Alright, that's enough!" Humfree said. "The soldier shows good spirit and incredible talent for a human. Welcome to the Dark Zombies!"
Everyone started to cheer in the air as they heard the noise. It was as if they had finally accepted him as one of their own.
"Alright, next up, let's have one of the Zombie hunters, shall we?" Humfree smiled. n0๐๐ฎ๐ต๐ข๐๐.๐ฐ0๐ฆ

Chapter 287 The power of blood
n0๐๐ฎ๐ต๐ข๐๐.๐ฐ0๐ฆ
Both of the women were Zombie Hunters and this fact was known by a few of them and had spread to the others.
The stares from the other zombies said it all, in the first place they weren't pleased that humans were here but the fact that they were Zombie Hunters made it that much worse.
'Ah with the way everyone is looking at us, I seriously wonder how long we'll survive in this place before someone comes and attacks us.' Wendy thought. 'Although it's only fair. Some of the zombies we killed might have been their friends or family membersโฆ we didn't even know there were this many zombies that are conscious.
'Maybe, there's not a way to completely categorise them, but if all of the zombies could live like this would that be enough?'
While Wendy was in the middle of her thoughts, Anna decided to be the one to step forward.
"I'll go first." Anna said, she stood forward with weapons on her body and a spear attached to her back. She pulled it out and held it in her hands.
Rather than using her own powers, she had decided to take Zain's advice, especially since it seemed like Carl was going easy on them.
Pulling out the spear, she pointed toward Carl.
"I want to make it clear to everyone here, I hate the Zombie Hunters as much as you guys!" Anna declared. "You guys know nothing about me, but you can ask Dart, I was their captive when they found him, so I am not on their side."
Carl looked into the crowd once more and this time rather than taking a weapon, one of the members from the crowd had thrown At that moment, Wendy thought one thing, it was a shame that she was unable to say something similar.
Carl looked into the crowd once more and this time rather than taking a weapon, one of the members from the crowd had thrown him a spear.
Calmly he grabbed it and stood in a similar stance as Anna.
'Is he trying to prove that he's better than everyone with every weapon?' Zain thought. 'Still, I guess it is possible for me to do the same thing as well due to the system. If I had enough practice it allows me to master anything, but for a person to be capable of all of this without a system, they would have to be some kind of monster.'
There was another thought in the back of Zain's head, the system had been given to him by chance, but what if someone like Carl had the system, what if someone like Carl was meant to have the system.
Could they have done a lot more to stop all of this?
The fight had started and similar to the last one, Anna was the first to charge in; she had done so slowly and then sped up when getting close, coming to a sudden halt as she thrust her spear forward.
Leaning to the side, Carl avoided the attack and with a single hand lifted up his own spear whacking her spear away.
Anna could feel the impact of the attack, her forearms already felt numb and it was just one.
Holding on tight though, she pulled the spear back down and spun side of his head in time.
09:38
"That was quite goodโฆ but a spear is meant to keep distance. If her body aiming to hit Carl on the side.
It was a smooth movement and the spear had successfully hit as a bang was heard, but It had hit Carl's forearm. He had raised it to the side of his head in time.
"That was quite goodโฆ but a spear is meant to keep distance. If your opponent is stronger than you and you get close..."
With his arm he quickly grabbed the spear, and then pulled on it. Anna could feel her whole body weight fall forward and if she didn't let go her face would be right in the mud.
Ultimately, she had no choice but to let go of the spear and now it was in the hands of Carl and she had no weapon at all.
"You see, now you have nothing?" Carl said with a smile. It was the first smile they had seen from him but it seemed like he quite enjoyed being a teacher.
With this and the last fight, he was teaching them both.
"Now try and avoid this." Carl said, as he held the spear like a javelin and threw it over his shoulder.
It was going at a fast speed but not too fast that Anna wasn't able to dodge, weight was put on her foot, but that's when Carl went ahead and threw the other spear with more strength and slightly faster.
Now the two of them were moving at the same speed.
"I won't be able to dodge in time!" She thought.
That's when Carl noticed something on the spear he had taken from Anna, as well as on his own handโฆ there was blood.
Looking up, a clang was heard as the spear clashed against a dark red shield. Anna was pushed back a few steps but she had blocked the attack.
'It was a good thing, to prepare those cuts beforehand. From the beginning of the fight I had cut my hand so I could create a weapon if I needed it in a desperate situation and it worked out.'
Anna had created a blood shield just in time to block the spear, and Carl didn't throw the spear lightly; he was quite surprised by the strength of the shield.
'I don't understand what he's doing.' Zain thought. 'I thought he was trying to teach her, but with the strength of that spear it would have gone right through her. There is no way he would have known about her ability.'
"That's a strong shield." Carl said and now with no weapons in his hand, his hand started to transform and was covered in the black casing.
Running forward he reached Anna before she could even react and threw it right into the shield. She braced herself but strangely she felt almost no impact herself.
When looking in front of her though she could see her blood shield crumbling into nothing, it was the first time one of her blood weapons had broken like that.
"It looks like my arm is a little stronger." Carl smiled. "This match is over, bring on the next one."
After seeing such a display of power, Wendy was nervous.

Chapter 288 The power of a zombie hunter elite
n0๐ฝ๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ .๐ธ0๐
After witnessing the fight between Carl and Anna, Wendy was nervous to go up next. She had heard that this was an assessment and it was one to see how useful they were. Anna had done quite well, and Kyle had shown great determination.
For her though, how would she be able to fare, it was clear that she wouldn't be able to win, so the other thought was, if she would be good enough.
'If I don't do well, or show I can do something, will the Dark Zombies get rid of me? If that happens, I'm sure that Zain won't do anything to stand up for me.'
"You're right." Zain said, as if he could hear her thoughts. "You are on your own on this one. You have to treat it like your life is on the line. Don't hold back."
Maybe it was the words she needed to hear, because it allowed her to take a few steps forward and enter the fighting area. Thanks to Zain's advice, Wendy did end up picking up a weapon.
It was a single short sword, on top of that she had a belt of small daggers around her waist as well. For most it was a strange weapon of choice. Why not use two weapons, or a great sword if they were to fight.
If one used a short sword, then in their other hand they would tend to hold a shield at least, rather than have it open like so, but there had to be a reason.
'Let's see why you were a high ranking member of the Zombie Hunters.' Zain thought with his arms folded, and was hoping that Wendy would be able to push Carl so he could evaluate the situation a little more.
The fight had begun, and Wendy was waiting there patiently for Carl to make the first move. She wasn't going to go in first and eventually he had decided to head in. In his hands, he had no weapons, with a fresh fight it was almost like a fresh start.
However, something strange happened that next to no one expected, as soon as he ran forward before he was even within range of the sword, Wendy swung it down. Some thought that she might have been nervous or misjudged something.
But a sharp sound was sent through the air, and Carl had noticed it. Lifting his hand up, his hand started to materialise the black armour around his arm. A clang noise was made as if two swords had bashed against each other, yet there was nothing that had touched anything at all.
Wendy, at that point, wouldn't let up, as the words that Zain said to her rang through her head. She continued to swing the sword and several clashes went against Carl, hitting him all over. He had materialised the black armour on both of his hands at this point, stopping the attacks from making a major hit on him.
'If I just keep hitting like this, he's going to find a way to break through.'
While swinging her arm with one hand, she had decided to gather something in her other hand. It was faint, but almost looked like a small tornado.
Slowly, she could see that Carl was getting used to blocking all of the attacks, and was inching his way forward, then when she felt it was the right time, she thrust her other hand out.
A small vortex of wind had come out, and went right for Carl's right leg. It had hit and pushed him back through the ground, but he was fine and still standing.
'My wind powersโฆ they weren't able to knock him down, even though I aimed for just one leg, how much strength does this person have?' Wendy thought.
Although her plan didn't work out, she continued to swing her sword through the air, trying to buy time until she could come up with another plan.
'I see, so she has some type of wind powers, and they don't seem to be weak by any means.' Humfree thought to himself. For him it was the most entertaining match so far.
Instead of going straight ahead, Carl had decided to run around the side. Reacting quickly, Wendy had pulled a dagger from the belt around her waist and threw it out. Added with her wind power she was able to give it a quick speed boost.
Yet, Carl was able to still avoid It, somehow he was able to see it. Unfortunately for the zombie standing in the crowd, he now had a small dagger in his stomach. Luckily he was a zombie so it didn't do much.
It looked like Carl was planning something and Wendy didn't like it, so with her free hand she started to use her powers on herself, raising her off the ground. While in the air, she continued to take daggers out of her belt and throw them from above, but still Carl avoided them all.
"Do you think I can't get to you up there?" Carl said, as he bent his legs, and prepared for a jump.
add my powers to the swing of my sword, increasing the speed and strength and slice him down.'
Seeing this, Wendy thought this was her chance.
'This is it, if he comes for me, he can only come in one direction. I'll add my powers to the swing of my sword, increasing the speed and strength and slice him down.'
Before there might have been other thoughts going through her head, what would happen if she did win this fight and ended up killing Carl, but the advice Zain gave made her throw away all signs of hesitation.
With her free hand, she brushed it against the sword, and then Carl blasted off from below.
"This is it!" Wendy shouted as she swung the sword down with great power, and the power of the wind helping her out.

Chapter 289 Not holding back
A great amount of force had been put into Wendy's swing. She had never thought about using her powers this way before. She either used weapons or just her wind powers to defeat her enemy, but after hearing Zain say a few words, it almost seemed so simple.
Why hadn't she thought about it, enhancing her own strength and attacks with her sword? With this attack, the wind pushing and swirling around the sword creating a sharp edge, she felt like it was possible to defeat stage three Zombies with her strength alone and could perhaps do the same as Zain had done in defeating the demons.
The sword struck Carl's fist, and a large amount of power continued forward through Carl and hitting the ground. The grass that was on the floor had been cut into tiny little pieces. For a moment, it looked like Carl's fist was being pushed back.
That was until the hardening around his arm had changed, cracks appeared in it, showing red lines looking like the veins on a human hand. The hardening on the arm looked as if it was transitioning in color from a black to a light grey, moving towards the end of the fist before an explosion of red power hit the sword.
It exploded and the sword shattered, causing shards to fly all over the place, and some even cutting her face. They were light scratches, but she had closed her eyes for fear that a shard might get in her eye.
She soon felt someone grab onto her head, and the two of them going through the air. When she opened her eyes, she could see that Carl was holding onto her head, and her feet were dangling a few inches from the floor.
"I... I lost," Wendy said.
It was clear at any time after her sword had broken, Carl was able to kill her.
Humfree, who was watching, started to clap, and so did a few of the others, and before she knew it, everyone started to clap. It was a good performance from the human.
"You did well. I believe you are the first person who has ever been able to push Carl that far. That deserves praise in itself; you are welcome here to the Dark Zombies!" Humfree said.
A large weight had finally been lifted off her shoulders, all the muscles in her arm were sore, she wouldn't be surprised if she had torn a few of them and was only holding on due to the adrenaline in her body.

With all those matches out of the way, it was finally time, there was only one fight that was left, Zain.
Walking forward, unlike all the others before him, there was no fear as he entered the fighting area.
"Are you sure you don't want to take a break? You have fought a few fights in a row," Zain said.
Carl couldn't help but smile as he heard this, but just shook his head and got in the center.
"Ha, what a cocky bastard," one of the zombies said. "How can he be like that after already seeing everything that Carl can do?"
"Hey, who knows, maybe there's a reason why he's so confident."
Humfree was extremely excited about this match, and he had to agree, there had to be a reason why Zain was so confident. Last night as they stayed here, although they were left to their own devices, Humfree had actually asked the other Zombies to report back if they noticed anything.
While all the others he had come with were asleep and he was keeping guard, the zombies had reported something extremely strange - Zain had suddenly collapsed, falling to his side. It was almost as if he was asleep, even though Zombies didn't need any sleep, which was why it was strange.
"Hey, do you need me to make you some weapons like last time? You fight best with two swords, right?" Anna asked. n0๐ฑ๐ข๐๐๐๐.๐ธ0๐ถ
She had used a lot of her blood energy already but she had been trying to regain her energy as much as possible for Zain. For some reason, she wanted him to win this fight. If he did, then she felt like it would almost cement the position they were in. Carl was clearly the strongest Zombie here but if Zain was able to overtake that title, then they would have to respect him and those that were with him.
"It's okay," Zain said, shaking his head, and stretching out both of his hands. "I have my own weapons I can use."
Everyone raised an eyebrow, wondering what Zain meant by this because there was nothing in his hands or on his body. So how would he have his own weapons? Seemingly, out of thin air, a glow was seen in both of his hands as objects started to materialize.
In one hand, a dark black single-handed sword. It wasn't a machete but an actual sword like they would use in ancient times to fight, and then in the other hand there was a white sword, that looked more so to be made of a bony material rather than metal.

"How did he manage to do that, was it magic?" One of the zombies said.
"Maybe he has a power like the others as well, but wait, isn't he a zombie? Have you heard of a zombie having abilities before?"
Humfree's heart was beating even faster, ready to jump out of his throat.
"I got these just for you because I'm going to win this fight no matter what the cost," Zain said.
On the night before when he had passed out, it was because he had decided to re-enter the weapons carnival once more. It was the last time he could enter since he didn't have any type of return pass and he tried his best to go through as many waves as possible.
In the end, there were a few things that Zain had unlocked, multiple crafting recipes he could use, as well as stage 3 crystals. Enough to create a stage 3 Titan sword, as well as a Stage 3 Zombon sword.
With his mastery already being the highest at level 5, he was well prepared for the match. Truth be told, Zain wasn't so sure about revealing the weapons or his skills like so in front of everyone. He always thought it was best for him to hide them.
However, there were two things that convinced him. Humfree was a person that just wanted power, from the look on his face he was obsessed with getting rid of these demons, so showing him what he could do was just a plus.
Humfree would never attempt to get rid of him after seeing how strong he was. As for the second reason, this was what sealed the deal, it was the quest that had come up.
[Defeat the person who has been haunting your dreams]
[Quest reward: Master Card]
'A Master card, it's the first time I've seen that before, I can't let this go, no matter what. I have to get this system reward.'

Chapter 290 Stage 3 Weapons
There was a lot of talk among the zombies about what Zain had just done, how he had just made weapons appear out of thin air in his hands. Even Anna was wondering if he could do such a thing, why he hadn't done it before when they were in a tough situation.
Little did they know it was impossible, the original weapons Zain had created out of the zombie crystals had been lost during his captivity. Most likely they had just been left on the school grounds where he had collapsed or thrown away by the Zombie Hunters.
'This zombie, I knew there was something about him that was special.' Humfree thought.' To think even in the tough situation he was in with the Zombie Hunters he only reveals something like this now. It makes me wonder if there's anything else he might be hiding.'
Humfree knew there were special zombies out there, one would only have to see Carl fight to know he was above and beyond the rest. Yet there hadn't been a single person who had come through the doors and could match up to Carl. Seeing this he had high hopes.
While everyone was surprised by the ability that Zain had, Carl was much more focused on the weapons themselves. He could feel there was something different.
'Those weapons in his hands, they aren't ordinary. They are giving me the same power feeling as the evolved zombies, my own body, is even reacting to it. I'll have to be careful.'
Unlike all the other fights before where Carl would face them with no weapons and such, he had already covered both of his arms in the solid black casing, all the way up to the shoulders. n0๐ฑ๐ข๐๐๐๐.๐ธ0๐ถ
In fact, Zain could even see it partly reach up to his neck just below his chin. Carl's clothes were covering the rest of his body so it was hard to see just how much of his body he had hardened.
"I see you have decided to take this seriously from the start, good choice." Zain said, still oozing with confidence.
Carl got into a fighting stance himself, one that looked like that of a boxer with his left hand out further, and his right hand tucked by the side of his chin.
"Let's hope you have the strength to back up your words."
Immediately, before the fight had been declared to start, Zain was the first to make his move. He swung the swords cleanly through the air. Carl leaned back, avoiding the strike allowing the tip just to miss him.
The sound of the sword going through the air was clean, it was with such speed that they were able to hear it like a whip or skipping rope going through the air. Another strike went downward and to the side a few times, yet Carl was focusing as he avoided each of the strikes.
Those watching didn't know why, but they were pulled in as they witnessed the way Zain swung the swords. He should have just been swinging the swords, yet it almost looked like an art as they watched him continue.
What was even more impressive was Carl avoiding them all, although so far in the fights he had mainly shown his strength and endurance, it looked like his speed was just as good as well.
Having pushed Carl to the edge where the onlookers were standing though, Zain then purposely struck ahead towards one of Carl's eyes. Carl had noticed the strike and stopped himself from dodging to the right and that's when he could see the titan sword coming down from above.
'He's swinging that at full force, and he's incredibly close to me. If I avoid this strike, then the people behind me will get hit.' Carl thought. 'Doesn't he care?'
From the look in his eyes, he could tell Zain wasn't going to pull back if he avoided this strike and then the people behind him would die.
'I will get that master card!' Zain thought in his head as he swung down. Carl lifted both hands above his head, and managed to stop the sword. It was held in place for a moment and the people now were able to move back.
The moment they did, it almost looked like Carl was crushed under the strength of the sword. His legs broke the ground underneath where he was, and pushed him down, but the titan sword still hadn't cut his skin.
"Heyโฆ are you seeing what I'm seeing, did Carl just lose in a contest of strength?" One of the zombies said.
"I thinkโฆ he just did, I've never even seen that look on Carl's face.
It was slightly strained and even he had to admit he never expected Zain to have this kind of strength either.
'Ohโฆ the stage 3 titan sword is working better than I thought, with this being a master class quest I thought this would be hard, but maybe it won't be in the end.'
[Stage 3 Titan sword]
[Made from the powerful evolved Titans. The sword has great endurance and is next to unbreakable. The sword also gives the wielder of the power of a titan. (10 strength stat)]
The new weapons weren't just better by a small margin but they were almost night and day, as they gave even better results compared to the stage 2 weapons.
[Strength 20 (10)]
"Do you think I have the strength to back up my words?" Zain asked.
"I have to admit, you might, but you will have to do more than that to win." Carl replied.
"You're right, let's try hitting a bit harder this time." Zain said, as he lifted the sword once again.
There was still the quest reward for defeating the stage 4 Titan. His diamond card reward gave him a total of 15 stat points to do as he wished.
[5 stat points have been added into strength]
[Strength 5]
[Strength 25 (10)]
"Brace yourself."

Chapter 291 Growing into the strongest
Lifting his sword up, Zain just added five strength to his stats, due to the diamond reward he had received before, and swung it down right towards Carl. It looked like an exact repeat of what had happened before.
'I can't afford to lose this fight!' Zain thought.
The sword clashed against Carl's black armoured arms again. His feet dug into the floor and his knees bent further than they did last time. It was a struggle, and a clear one at that.
'His hit, it just got stronger, was he holding back?' Carl thought.
Not only that, but for the first time in a while, Carl could feel a sharp pain on his arm. That was because the stage three Titan sword, being swung that hard, with the speed and strength of its additional stats, had managed to cut through the black armour, and a small cut had been made on the skin.
It wasn't quite pain that Carl could feel, because zombies didn't feel pain, but more so the pressure, he could still feel the touch of the blade ripping through his skin now that it had got through the armour.
Immediately, the whole air around Carl had changed. The black armour started to ripple and the red energy was going through his hands, until it suddenly exploded with power.
Zain was sent flying backwards, his legs skidding across the grass. When he finally recovered, he could see that Carl was already on top of him, having jumped up in the air with pulling his fist back, and the same red energy surrounded his fist.
Zain wasn't just strong though, he was quick as well, and he managed to roll out of the way, while doing so he made sure to attack with his Zombone sword , while avoiding the attack.
It scratched the back of Carl, but did next to nothing.
'Damn, without taking a full swing, it looks like I can't get through his armour even with all my strength, but just making little scratches here and there isn't going to make me win this fight either.'
When Carl landed, his fist slammed into the ground. It uplifted the ground beneath it, and made cracks on the floor, while sending out a red pulse that hit Zain, he could feel the pressure and the energy from the attacks.
'I'm not an enhanced fighter type like Carl. I need to think and use my head to beat him, or get him to drop his guard down.' Zain thought.
Maybe some thought that this wasn't fair, with how Zain was planning to win, but he didn't care, he just wanted that reward card.
Holding both swords out, Zain waited for Carl to attack with his red fist, rather than hitting them with the sword head on, Zain decided to avoid the strikes. He was able to narrowly avoid them, while swinging his sword smoothly, but Carl also wasn't slow and he too was able to avoid the strikes.
The two were taking it in turns, almost as one would strike and avoid the attacks, the other would come in fast. Zain swung his swords while Carl avoided them, then Carl threw out punches while Zain stepped to the side as well.
The onlookers could tell that it was a high class battle and one that was a lot closer than they originally thought.
'Alright, now that the two of us are used to each other's speed, it's time to change things up a bit.' Zain thought.
[19 Agility 20 Agility]
[1 stat point has been used]
[9 Stat points remaining.]
The sword wings continued like before, coming from the sides, but the sword was ever so closer to hitting Carl.
'Not fast enough!'
[20 Agility 21 Agility]
[1 stat point has been used]
[8 Stat points remaining.]
'Faster!' Zain thought to himself as he continued to swing, he could see his swords nearly getting there.
[21 Agility 22 Agility]
[1 stat point has been used]
[7 Stat points remaining.]
Zain's swords were now skimming the sides of Carl's skin bit by bit, and for the first time, he was unable to attack back, because Zain's swords skills were perfect. One moment would follow after the other, just in the right place not giving a chance for Carl to attack back, and Zain was still getting stronger and faster.
[Agility 24]
[5 stat points remaining]
Now the shallow strikes had become clean strikes, hitting the sides of Carl's arms. He was no longer able to dodge but was still able to block but it was hard work. When one was faster it meant their blows were stronger as well.
Small cuts were appearing all over the hard black scales of Carl. n0๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐.๐ธ0๐
"Hey this is crazy, is Carl going to lose?" One of the zombies asked.
The attacks were relentless with no sign of slowing down from Zain and he still wasn't done.
'Now that I'm fast enough, I just need to increase my strength, here It goes!'
[Strength 30 (10)]
The Titan sword was the first to hit, and this time it had cut in a few inches deep. Pulling the sword out, if Zain used it again it would slice off Carl's other arm, making him a lot easier to fight and a lot easier to hit.
He came swinging with the white sword first though, and rather than block, Carl went to grab it, he managed to grab it, but with a pull, Zain strength won out, and the blade sliced the armoured part of the hand, making a deep cut in his palm.
'The armour, he can cut through it now.' Carl realised. 'Was he playing this whole time, was he the one that was trying to test me?'
It was hard for Carl to believe, usually he would be the one that would up the ante as things went along, but it was the first time anything like this had happened before.
Swinging his sword again, Zain was ready to cut off Carl's arm, he had to do something. Carl's legs now started to light up with red energy, and he stomped the ground. Dirt flew up in the face of Zain.
Having somewhat expected it though, Zain was ready as he appeared from the side, but before Zain could react, Carl went to punch, the hit though, it wouldn't hit Zain, his arms weren't long enough, which left Zain confused.
Until the red energy shot out as the fist hit the air. The red ripples came out, and the energy had disrupted Zain for a moment, the ripples had broken his flow.
"Clench your teeth!" Carl said, with another punch ready, right for his face.

Chapter 292 The conclusion
The fist from Carl wasn't just an ordinary fist with his extreme strength, but it also had the red energy running through his hand. It was a full force hit, and Zain knew that he wouldn't be able to use his swords to block in time.
'If I get hit with that, I might very well be done for.' Zain thought. 'Because of my speed and strength, there's a good chance that Carl might have overestimated my strength, and there's a good chance this hit to my head could kill me.'
There was a reason why Zain thought this, and it was because his Endurance was the lowest stat he had. At the moment, it was set to 10 points. Originally, when Zain had become a zombie, he was opting for a control type.
One that would fight from a distance while mainly using his horde. For stronger enemies, he would come in at the last moment to take them out. If that failed, he also had his agility stat.
He was already incredibly fast, he was superhuman with his speed. If he could avoid all hits, then why would he need to increase his endurance? This was his theory anyway. It was the first time he was facing one with this strength, and it was why he was extremely worried.
'Even if I don't die, if I get hit by this, I'm going to lose this fight!'
Looking directly at Carl in the eye, memories started to appear of all the times he had faced the faceless man in his dreams and how much it tormented him back then. If he didn't beat Carl now, would he still be tormented by the dreams, but there was an even more important matter at hand.
'I have toโฆ I have to get that Master card!' Zain twisted his foot, and from beneath, something started to glow between the two. It looked similar to when Zain had summoned the weapons in his hands, but instead there was now a figure right in front of the two.
Carl was still in the middle of his punch, and it was too late to hold back. He threw it out and as it hit the summoned figure's head with the red pulse of power, it exploded. Pieces of the skull and brain went flying all over the place, and the body had collapsed on the floor.
'Did I justโฆ just kill.'
Carl was clearly distracted, having no idea what had happened. Even those watching couldn't quite figure out what was happening, only that Zain wasn't dead. He very much wasn't, as he appeared by the side of Carl's body swinging the titan sword as hard as he could.
It hit Carl's arm, slicing through it, causing it to fall to the floor. It was a first for Carl losing his arm like so.
"What is going on!" Humfree said out loud, he didn't know whether to feel upset or excited. He was wondering if someone had intervened because there was a dead zombie's body on the floor.
This was all due to Zain, who had used his summon skill to summon a zombie from his horde. The skill and the fact that he could control zombies he had been hiding for a long time now. Now he had revealed it, the idea of the reward, it was just too good for him to lose.
After cutting off the arm, Zain didn't stop there, the moment of surprise would only last so long, and it was time for him to use all the tricks he had up his sleeve. Thrusting the white sword forward, just like the stage 2 weapon, it was able to change its shape.
Thrusting it forward it started to elongate and the end turned into a spear. Carl was still confused by everything and felt it hit him right in the centre of the body. With the speed and power it had behind it, it started to scratch the scales off and went a few inches deep into his stomach.
With only one good hand he was unable to block as well before. At that moment, he was ready with his other hand, and made an attempt to grab the spearhead, but that's when he felt something latch on and grab onto his hand.
It wasn't particularly strong, but he could smell and straight away noticed that it was a group of three Zombies. The reason why Carl was panicking, was because he thought that maybe those from the crowd had intervened.
But the others from the outside saw it, they had appeared out of nowhere, seemingly, and there was another thing. Zombies didn't usually attack other zombies, not unless they were mutated. n0๐ฑ๐ข๐๐๐๐.๐ธ0๐ถ
These, they were clearly being controlled.
Zain let go of the spear, and as he did the bottom of the spear's shape changed into a rounded part like that of a shield. The difference between the stage 2 and the stage 3 was that he could transform the weapon as many times as he wanted.
Kicking the shield part with all his strength, the spear was pushed in even further, and soon more zombies started to appear around the place, grabbing Carl by the bottom of his feet. Before Carl knew it, Zain was standing above him with his titan sword pointed towards his neck, and around him were a group of zombies that were pinning him down.
'Honestly, with my current strength and the titan sword the way it is, a single thrust won't be able to beat him, and these zombies on top of him wouldn't be able to keep him down. If it was a fight for his life, then he would still come out the winner, but in the situation we are in now.
'I'm hoping he will admit defeat. While I have continuously regained the upper hand this whole fightโฆ the only way I can beat him in a fight, is if he gives up.'
Humfree was left speechless and so were the others. If what they were seeing was true, Zain either had the ability to summon zombies, or control them, perhaps even do both. Humfree knew he was hiding something, he just never knew that it was of this calibre.
Carl, lying there on the ground, gave a big smile, the hardened scales on his body started to fade away, as he said a few words.
"I admit defeat." Carl said.
[Quest completed]
[You have received the Master card]

Chapter 293 Master card reward
The zombies that were summoned had been unsummoned and placed back into the system. If there was any doubt as to who the zombies belonged to, now it was certainly cleared up.
"Wait, so the new guy, the new guy actually beat Carl? Does this mean he's the strongest in the Dark Zombies?"
"Hey and what about his summoning power, how come he can do that, what is with that, that's a first, right?" Another said.
There were whispers all over the place, some were happy that Carl had finally been defeated, amazed at what happend, but there was also a lot of caution among the Dark Zombies.
Carl, although he was the strongest, strictly followed Humfree's orders, and having been with Humfree for a while now, they knew he meant no harm to them. Whereas this newcomer, doing this, there was a good chance that it could change the status quo of everything.
'That fight, although a lot of people think I'm stronger than Carl since he had admitted defeat, that's certainly not the case.' Zain thought. 'Even based on the previous fights, he was adapting as he learned more information.' n0๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐.๐ธ0๐
'I overwhelmed him with tricks and surprises that he didn't have time to adapt to. Increasing my strength, my speed, using the new skills from the weapons and using the zombie horde at my control.'
'Most likely Humfree was the one that had ordered him to fight in a certain way, to allow him to bring out the best in his opponents. If it wasn't for the fact this was a training session, in the real world, there is no such thing as admitting defeat, only those who live and die.'
'If it was a fight to the death then I would lose, at least that was the case before I received the master card. I have no clue what it has in store for me.'
Humfree's hands were shaking as he held onto his cane, his knuckles were turning white due to the pressure.
"Everyone, the show is over!" Humfree shouted. "Please welcome our new members into the Dark Zombies!"
The zombies cheered as they heard Humfree declare these words. Whatever the case was, for now, having strong allies like these join the group was good for them.
"Now, we should allow our fellow fighters to rest. They have been put under a lot of pressure, as for you Zain, Dart will come to collect you in an hour or so, it seems we have more to talk about."
There was no doubt in Zain's mind what Humfree wanted to talk about, his powers and how he could use them. He expected this, which was why he had hidden it from others for so long as well.
While walking back to the main building, the others stayed close to Zain. They felt like they had made the right decision to stick as close to him as possible and with him winning the fight, had allowed them to have some sort of position in this place, since they had come along with him. Yet no one said a word, they were somewhat afraid.
Wendy in particular was thinking back to when she had first met Zain.
'At the time, he was protecting that other zombie, I had never seen anything like it beforeโฆ It looked human. That was before I knew about Reborn zombies and before the Zombie Hunters knew about them as well, but even back then was that what Zain was capable of, controlling zombies?'
There was a deeper question in the back of Wendy's head. Was it the ability to create or control zombies, and if so how many? Could he possibly be able to stop the random attacks altogether?
The group had eventually arrived in the large ballroom where several of the other zombies were staying and where they had slept for the night. As expected, they were exhausted and went to collapse on the mattresses immediately.
They were quick to notice that there were a number of eyes that were looking their way as well, it was the other zombies.
"I think if you guys want a proper rest, it's best if I'm not here. If Dart comes looking for me, tell him I'll be outside, in the fields." Zain replied.
After everything that happened, especially Humfree declaring they were now all part of the Dark Zombies, he felt that they wouldn't be attacked without him, and besides, he wanted to be on his own, so he was able to focus on something else.
Once outside, Zain could see a few other zombies talking, fighting and such, but the field was enormous so he found a safe place away from all the others and sat down with his legs crossed, almost in a meditating-like position.
'It's time to see what this card can do.' Zain thought.
[Would you like to use the Master card]
[Yes]
[Master card reward has been used]
[The Master card is the top reward that can be granted from the system]
[Initiating special response procedure]
[Requirements have been unlocked.]
The crystal that Zain would always wear around his neck, that he had picked up from Sarah, started to glow once more, and the strangest thing had occurred. It looked as if it was melting and had created a circle marking on his chest.
[The reward has been received]
[All stats have been maxed out.]
Level 50
Strength: 50
Agility: 50
Intelligence: 50
Endurance: 50
[Intelligence has reached 50]
[1000 Horde members may now be stored and controlled]
[Your body functions will no longer deteriorate]
[Brains will no longer be needed to be consumed]
[Endurance has reached level 50]
[Your body will no longer naturally consume energy during fights]
[Energy will only be used to heal the body]
[Human flesh is still needed to restore the body.]
[Your body is no longer able to grow. You have reached the max level. All exp gained can be converted to members of the Horde]
All of this, it was beyond what Zain was expecting.

Chapter 294 A quest not to be completed
The master card reward was beyond what Zain could imagine. Just from looking at the system alone it was clear that he had reached his peak potential. The strength he could gather was double than what he had before, he was superhuman.
Clenching his fist, he could feel the strength that he was able to gather in one hand. Although many would have called all of the feats of Zain before superhuman, it was the first time he actually felt superhuman.
To Zain it was clear after fighting Carl, that his stats were better than his. At least in multiple departments, but now he clearly had surpassed him.
'This system, how is it able to do such a thing, is it because of the crystal, just what is this?' Zain thought to himself.
It was clear, the reason why this quest was at the master level was because it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. When would he face Carl again and their levels be so far apart, yet somehow Zain had won the fight.
'This was a quest that I was never meant to complete, an impossible quest, which is why I got such a big reward.' Zain thought to himself.
There was still one part of the quest reward that Zain had to read, and it was a big sigh of relief.
[You have defeated the person of your nightmares]
[Your training has been completed]
[You will no longer enter the dream state]
"With this, I guess it means I will no longer suffer from those random blackouts that I keep getting, but I wonder, if it means I can no longer enter the weapon carnival as well? Either way, I should be thankful for what the system has given me. I'm in the situation to do exactly what I want." Zain said to himself as he stood up.
Returning to the others, Zain could see that Dart was talking to the others, he was asking them where the main person in question was.
"It looks like I came just in time, I'm ready to meet Humfree." Zain said.
Dart nearly jumped as soon as he heard Zain's voice. The way Dart now looked at Zain, it was completely different compared to before. In fact, on the walk to the main office where Humfree resided, Dart was completely silent.
Upon entering the room, Dart closed the door behind him, and Zain could see Humfree by a desk that was propped in the corner behind two large bookshelves, by his side were two of the Chained Zombies. n0๐ฝ๐๐ต๐ข๐ข๐.๐ฐ0๐
Unlike before, when Zain first met them, he was no longer worried, and it was no longer a question of whether he could beat them or not, it was more so a question of how many.
'Thisโฆ right now, Humfree probably evaluated me on my performance from before, he thinks that I showed him everything I had, when in reality I am now beyond what he could imagine.'
It was a great feeling to have, as Zain comfortably sat across the seat from him.
"Congratulations." Humfree said, lifting both arms wide. "You are indeed a very special person, and who would have thought you were hiding so many things from us, but let me start by saying I don't blame you, in fact I applaud you for hiding your powers because you are exactly the type of person we need."
Zain was ready for the onslaught of questions about his powers, and as he revealed more information, then Humfree would try and figure out a way to use him. It was normal, it was just business.
"I only have one question for you, Zain." Humfree said. "
'Here it is.'
"Will you use your powers to defeat the demons no matter what?" Humfree asked.
Zain was slightly taken aback by the question. Wasn't he going to ask him how he was able to control the zombies, give him an ultimatum of him revealing his secrets or get kicked out of the Dark Zombies?
When thinking about the actual question though, Zain knew how strong and dangerous the demons were. Sure the zombies were a problem but from what he had gathered, it was only true for this city.
"I think getting rid of the demons is the top priority, and I will do that." Zain answered.
"Then great." Humfree said. "That is all I care about, not what powers you have, just that the two of us have the same goal. I am not the one in control of you, you control you, just like the other Dark Zombies here.
"I am just doing everything in my power to get rid of the demons and if everyone is doing the same, then we won't get in each other's way."
It was an unexpected scenario but it actually was one Zain was more pleased about. He wondered if Humfree did know the truth whether he would change his tune, because once the demons were gone, with his powers then Zain could achieve much more, it was just that he wasn't that type of person, but to convince them that he wasn't.
"Once we've gotten rid of all the demons, will you then focus on making a cure, a cure for the zombies."
"Of course." Humfree answered immediately.
With that, their conversation was practically over. The two weren't friends, they weren't partners, but two who were working towards the same goal in the same area, and Zain much preferred that.
On his walk back, it made him wonder what he was to do, would he just continue to tag along with the Dark Zombies, or should he go looking for the others. His goal was originally just to get to the bottom of this. Which he had done, and now he was in a position to try and change things, especially with his power.
"Hey!" A voice called out.
Looking up, Zain could see that it was Carl in the hallway.
"At midnight, meet me around the back, I want to talk."

Chapter 295 Level's above everyone else
Having achieved everything Zain wanted to in the Dark Zombies, he was thinking it was best for him to leave. He needed to increase his territory as well as get his horde members up to the 1000 max limit so he could summon them whenever he wanted.
Also, the more territories he had, the more exp he would gain and continue to grow his army of zombies, because there was still one focus on his mind and that was surviving. They had the demons on their back, and after that even if the demons were dealt with they needed to deal with the rest of the world.
They weren't going to be ready to accept zombies and most likely after the zombies did their part of getting rid of the demons like Humfree hoped, there was a good chance that the army would then just come in and get rid of all the zombies.
This was why Zain wanted to continue to grow his personal zombies. Ones that he had complete control of regardless of what happened. This was the best way to survive.
Zain was leaning up against the window in the ballroom. He was looking at the sky and looking at the moon. Although the zombies were told not to go out at night, that wasn't true for the area they were currently in, they just weren't allowed to go beyond the wall at night.
Although Humfree did say that all of the zombies had freedom while being here, doing such an action would bring trouble to the rest, so he understood why there was that rule.
"I guess it's time for me to meet up with him," Zain said, as he walked out from the ballroom heading towards the back of the main building. Before leaving, he looked at Wendy and the others who were now sound asleep.
'If I was to leave this place, they would be alright now, right? Just because I helped them, doesn't mean they need to be stuck to me like glue. Besides if others or the real enemy were to find out my strength now. There's a good chance they'll be after me, so travelling with me will just put them in more danger.'
Walking down the hallway, Zain looked out the window again before looking at one of the large grandfather clocks. The large bell sound had been removed but the short and large hands were close to the 12 at the top.
Exiting from the back, he carried on walking, as he saw a man in the distance standing where Zain had fought not long ago, not just that, but it was the same person he had fought against.
"There doesn't appear to be anyone out here, is that your doing?" Zain asked.
Turning around, Carl gave a big smile as he saw him. n0๐๐ฒ๐๐๐๐ฉ.๐ธ0๐
"I'm not their boss, they have no reason to listen to me."
The words and cheeky smirk didn't quite match up with what he was saying. Either way, Zain was here now. After having completed the master class quest, the least he could do before leaving this place was listen to Carl.
"So what would the strongest in the Dark Zombies want from me then?" Zain asked.
The smile disappeared from Carl's face and he soon got into a fighting stance with his fists in front of his face.
"That is the exact reason why I wanted to call you. Back then, I was unable to fight properly, because the idea was to test out what you had. I never thought that there would be someone out there that was as strong as you.
"So, as for the favour I'm asking from you, I want to fight you now, both of us going all out from the start."
This was a surprise to Zain, he looked at Carl and thought back to the fight. Towards the end of it, Carl was using his full strength; he just got tricked with the summoned zombies. As he said before, if the two of them were to fight with everything they had from the start, Zain was to lose, but that was before, before he had gained the master card.
"And what if you were to lose again?" Zain asked.
"Then it would just mean that I would need to work harder out there to survive." Carl answered.
Based on the answer, Zain was going to decide whether to fight him or not, because he felt like he owed Carl one now, so if beating him would ruin Carl's progression then he would decline the offer, but based on the answer he gave, Carl would just grow stronger from a loss.
"Alright, but the result is going to be a lot more different than you think." Zain said.
Zain lifted his hands and gestured for Carl to come at him, moving his fingers.
"Hey!" Carl said, as he dashed forward his whole body changing to the black armour. "I said to take this seriously from the start."
A punch was thrown out, and immediately Zain moved his head to the side avoiding the blow. As the attack hit the air, a large red pulse was made. Carl was going full strength from the start.
"If I used my full strength from the start, then you would be dead already." Zain answered.
Not believing that to be the case, Carl continued to throw punches out but Zain avoided them all. Even though he didn't have the highest hand to hand combat mastery, he was just too fast and was able to see things too clearly.
The red pulses of power that hit the air, which before made him uneasy and affected him, due to his high endurance they didn't any more.
'I'm punching as fast as I can, how can he avoid them allโฆ what is this!'
That was when Zain decided to not avoid the punch, and instead he went ahead and grabbed hold of Carl's fist. The red pulse went through his hand and Zain's hand wasn't pushed back or injured at all.
"The difference between the two of us is too different now." Zain lifted Carl in the air, and slammed him into the ground. He was unable to see anything and was just staring at the sky as he felt every bone in his back having been destroyed.
"Iโฆ lost." Carl said.

Chapter 296 Emergency meeting
The morning sun rose, and with it, Zain had finally come to a decision about what he wanted to do. He had decided the best thing was for him to leave the place. There was a lot going on, in terms of his system and the others that he had left behind.
He wished to know what was happening, but he thought that it was best to inform Humfree as well as the others that he intended to leave. They had come in handy a few times, especially Wendy saving his life and Anna giving him the blood weapons when needed.
So he felt it was the least he could do before leaving. He didn't want to travel through the night, due to the demons outside, and he needed everyone, including Humfree to wake up.
As everyone was stretching with yawns, and arms trying to reach the feeling Zain was checking out his system.
'The terrors that I had, a lot of them have been dealt with. Some of them had some strong memories left in place. It makes me wonder, was it the Zombie Hunters, the demons or maybe even the military.' Zain thought.
There was some good news though, and it was that he could still see Skittle, along with the other more advanced zombies he stored in his group, in the system, they were still appearing as small dots.
'For now, I know that the others are alive, and I know how to get to them. It might take a few days to reach them if I'm only travelling through the day. If I ran though, at top speed with my endurance now, would it really take so long?'
It was an interesting thought, ever since Zain's stats had changed he hadn't really had a chance to see how much stronger he was, the only test he had was his fight with Carl last night.
Thinking back, when the fight had ended, Zain was expecting a reaction from Carl. For him to say anything, maybe ask him a few questions but instead, Carl once again admitted defeat, he stood up off the ground and just said a few words.
'It looks like I have a lot of catching up to do.'
It seemed Zain was right about the type of person Carl was. It was just a shame that it was his head and body shape that haunted many of his dreams. With everything sorted, the first lot of people Zain wanted to talk to were the humans he had travelled with.
'I guess here it goes, I hope they don't ask to come with meโฆ I mean if they force themselves to follow me, then I'll just run away.' Zain thought.
He felt like he would try to subconsciously try and protect those around him. The difference between them and Kun and Pink, was that the others were zombies, and less likely to die or get infected, like this lot.
Protecting them meant there was a higher chance of his own downfall.
"Hey!" A voice shouted from the entrance of the room. It echoed, it was shouted so loud and all of those in the room turned around including the zombies.
"There's an emergency meeting, everyone meet outside on the field now, Humfree's order!" Dart explained.
"Ohโฆ emergency meeting, what could it be about?" Anna wondered.
"Maybe it's an attack like what happened the other day." Wendy replied.
From the concerned look on the other zombies' faces, this type of meeting wasn't normal by any means.
'I might need to delay my leaving here just a bit.'
โโ-
The whole zombie group had gathered outside, there were a lot of them, close to two hundred zombies that were all gathered in one space. At the front their was Dart, Carl and the two chained zombies.
When looking at Carl there was a deep look on his face. Despite everything happening there was always an uplifting sense of air around him, like despite everything going on, he thought everything would turn out okay, yet it was clear that something was up. n0๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ท.๐0๐
"Everyone!" Humfree shouted with a loud booming voice. It was surprisingly loud considering they were outside. There was no use of a microphone and everyone could still hear him.
"You all know the importance of our tasks, as I have not lied to any one of you and explained in full detail what we are all to do, the extermination of the demons. All of you here are our hope!"
The zombies continued to listen as they were taking in Humfree's words.
"As you know, we have many groups that are spread through the city, reporting to me about what the situation is, and big news has recently come through. The Reborn group.
"A group of Reborn Zombies that don't share the same goal as us, but are fellow zombies like all of you. I have just received news that their base has been attacked, and they have been wiped out completely." There was a slight crack in Humfree's voice.
Was it a worry for the Reborn zombies, no that wasn't it. The leader of the Reborn group was none other than Sarah Bain, and although she and Humfree had their differences, they were husband and wife.
He still cared for her and that was proof of it.
"The Reborn group were a group of strong zombies, and we had many on the inside. Those that were on the inside have been eliminated. We have only received information from our scouting groups.
"But to me, this is clear, it is the work of the demons that we are fighting against! They have taken them out, those that tried to work with the demons have been taken out by them!"
It was clear to Zain that there was no way for Humfree to know if this was true or not, but he was using this opportunity to cement the idea of his way, which Zain agreed with anyway, so he didn't have a problem with it.
"I believe we can no longer just stay and hold up in this base of ours. The time has comeโฆ it is time for us to act!"

Chapter 297 Choosing where to go
While Zain was part of the Reborn group, there were people that he had travelled with and had done a number of missions together. Quite a bit of time had been spent together and they got along well, at least everyone else did regardless whether or not they spoke to Zain, since he was a man of few words.
Still, these people grew to trust Zain more than anyone, and they were Pink, Kun, Dab, Kelly and lastly Skittle, who had been his childhood friend. n0๐๐ฒ๐๐๐๐ฉ.๐ธ0๐
Recently, a tough decision had come up for them and that was leaving Zain behind. There was an attack at where they had made their base, the school, and as the Zombie Hunters attacked with a large force, the only thing they could do was escape.
Skittle, with his great strength, wanted to carry Zain out of the area, but they had constantly ran into trouble one time after another with the super users. They could see that they were trying hard to protect Zain for some reason, and eventually they had no choice but to leave him behind.
Little did they know, it was because of these actions that the Zombie Hunters had decided to take Zain in, even though it looked like he was at the point of death.
The group had gathered together and were in an apartment room. These areas were scattered all over the city, and they had chosen one that was full of zombies. There was less chance of them being raided by humans looking for a place to stay.
"What are you doing?" Dab asked, as he sat next to Skittle at the dining table.
There was a large map of the city spread out, with multiple areas crossed out and colour coordinated. As they moved, Dab had seen Skittle adding to the map more and more.
"I'm tracking the movements of all the groups with the information we have." Skittle said. "At first, we moved to the other areas within our territory, the areas that Zain had already taken over, but everywhere we went, the Zombie Hunters ended up attacking the area and taking it over.
"To the point where we've had to enter the inner circle of the city. We can't go much closer to the centre, that's where the higher stage zombies are at. No group has entered that area at all yet." Skittle explained.
"With the way the Zombie Hunters are moving, it looks like they've made their move." Kun said, coming over and taking a look at the map while standing with his hands on the table. "Doesn't that mean that they'll be spread more thin, they should be losing power as well, it will be a chance for us to get Zain."
"With just us?" Kelly said, drinking a glass of water in the kitchen area. "You saw how many of those Zombie Hunters they had that attacked the school. If they've decided to go through with this extermination plan, then they have to be confident they have enough strength to get rid of all of the zombies.
"Once they get rid of all the outer areas, they'll probably move toward the centre as well. Besides, we don't even know where Zain is, so we would just be going in blind."
They all wanted to rescue Zain, but none of them could see a way of doing so. As time passed they were hoping he would just burst through the door, telling them all he was back. They had run into him before, he had come to them before, so why wouldn't it happen again?
"There is no one else here, more than me, that wishes to save Zain." Skittle said. "Right now though, we would just be risking our lives for no reason as we have no information. If it was Zain, you know what he would tell us all to do. He would tell us that we need to survive."
Memories started to appear of Zian in their heads, the amount of times he had said those words as they were out on their missions, right now, they could hear the same voice saying the same words in their heads putting a small smile on all of their faces.
"Okay, so then with the current situation the way it is, how the heck do we survive all of this?" Pink asked. "If we go deeper, we risk running into the demons and the higher stage zombies. If we stay in the outer areas and the Zombie Hunters get us. So what does that leave us with doing?"
"Well." Skittle said. "We could continue wandering around as we are doing, but that's not the safest thing, and if we do want to help Zain, we need information. So the best thing to do would be to get help. The Military had quite a good relationship with Zain. We also know that Kelly is close with a particular person there, and Zain also has a group of humans that he had saved in the past that are there.
"However, the military's situation is unclear. They answer to those on the outside, and we don't know how cut off the current military is from within. If we were to work with them, most likely we would need to bring something to them as well."
Hearing this, they felt like they knew where this was going, because it meant they only had one option.
"There is one group that is accepting of us Reborn Zombies, and if we explained the situation, I'm sure they would let us in. It's a bit of a risk but I don't think they would be hostile towards usโฆ but there is a chance."
Skittle's finger pointed to one area on the map. They all leaned forward and as expected his finger was where they guessed.
"The Reborn facility." Pink said.

Chapter 298 The secret item!
The group had made a decision, and it was to head back to the Reborn group, which was run by Sarah Bain, one of the two creators of the zombie apocalypse. It was one of the safest places for the group currently, and on top of that it was the place that would most likely help them find the whereabouts of Zain.
Getting there was no easy task though, since they would have to travel through multiple territories. As time went on, zombies of higher stages were being seen more frequently, but it also meant that the group could also grow stronger.
As they travelled through multiple areas, they defeated the high stage beast with their teamwork, and with the crystals they continued to absorb their power through the technique that Zain had shown them.
All of them could feel themselves getting stronger, this included Skittle as well. He too was able to absorb crystals, so he increased his strength and power even without Zain's use of the system.
Before arriving at the Reborn group, they wanted to be as strong as possible, that way if they did need to use force or use their powers they would have a chance to escape.
"Here we are." Pink said, standing in front of the Reborn gate. The infamous sliding door, the only way in and out to the facility.
"Man, I really hope they just let us in with no trouble." Dab said, staring up at the camera, they hadn't moved forward enough to be caught on the camera just yet. All of them felt a little uneasy.
Taking a deep breath, Kun was the one that went ahead, and the rest soon followed. Now they knew they could clearly be seen on the camera.
"This is Kun!" He shouted. "We have returned with no intentions of conflict, Zain is currently not with us, we just wish to talk."
The group waited in silence. They were waiting for someone to speak on the other side with a microphone as they had done in the past, but instead the door started to slide open.
"Wait a second, do we go in?" Kelly asked. "What if it's a trap, what if the whole Reborn group is waiting for us. They could have even more people than they did before we left."
"That's just a risk that we have to take." Skittle said, and this time he was the one that went ahead, and the rest stayed behind him.
Entering the long white hallway, they could see at the other end, there was Sarah and standing by her side was X and Sid. The two strongest and closest members of the Reborn group.
However, when looking at Sarah, her expression was that of a soft smile, for some reason she always had this welcoming aura around them.
"It's nice to see you are back here again, it's a shame that Zain isn't with you." Sarah said. "Back then, I wish I had time to explain myself, but I never got the chance. If you come in, maybe we can talk again."
The five looked at each other. It didn't seem like a trap, and if it was, Sarah was an incredible actor. The thing was, that might have been the case, afterall she had kept the secret meetings with the demons underwraps.
Either way, nearly the entire group took a step forward and continued to follow Sarah. Not much had changed so they all knew where they were heading to, and it was the private lab.
When they entered inside, they looked around to see if there was anyone that was hiding out of sight, but it didn't seem to be the case, and when staring out of the glass window that would look at the main area underneath them, they could see that the Reborn zombies were high in number.
'At least it doesn't look like Sarah has given up the Reborn Zombies to the demons.' Skittle thought.
"What did you expect to see, no zombies here?" Sarah jokingly said, seeing the reaction of everyone.
The two groups stood on either side of a large work top table. It was wide enough to the point where one even if they stretched, wouldn't be able to reach the other side. One group stood on one side while the other group stood on the other.
They both thought it was better this way just in case it became more hostile.
"I don't know your situation with Zain, but I can understand all of your reactions that day full heartedly." Sarah said. "Which is why, with you returning today I have no malice against any of you.
"I just want to have a chance to explain myself. As you know, the truth is I have been talking to the ones that we know as demons. I know their power, and I know ours as well, and I believe that if both sides fight, then there will be no winner for either side of this.
"If all of us die trying to save ourselves then what are we fighting for? At the same time, of course I know we can't trust the demons whoel heartedly, which is why the negotiations had been taking a lot of time. Because I need to know for certain that everyone is safe, that includes the Reborn Zombies and humans."
From her words, Sarah had good intentions. She was trying to solve this where everybody won, but the real question was whether or not that was possible, or if it was just a dream.
"But howโฆ whatever deal you make here with the demons, how can you get the military and the outside world to agree, they would never agree to letting even us zombies roam free, with this infection in our blood." Kun said, having worked with the Reborn group and military before he knew what they were like the most.
"Because I have something that both the demons and military would be interested in." Sarah said.
Just as she was about to say those words, an alarm went off in her base. X quickly rushed at one of the terminals and turned on the screen showing the cameras that were outside.
Here they could see a Reborn Zombie by the door covered in blood.
"What's the situation?" X asked.
"Quickly open up, they're coming, they're coming!" the zombie urgently shouted. "It's the Zombie Hunters, they're attacking the town, they're coming for us!"

Chapter 299 Leader of the Zombie hunters
The Reborn group had a policy that zombies when sent out on missions were to go out in groups, yet only a single Reborn zombie had returned, and they were incredibly panicked.
Sarah wasted no time in bringing the zombie in, while X was sorting out the facility as it was put on high alert. They had gone through a few procedures, thinking that a day like this might come.
Maybe they thought it would be the military, or the Dark Zombies, or even the demons, but today it was the Zombie Hunters that were taking aim at them.
"What happened, Clark?" Sarah asked, as the Reborn zombie had been brought into the lab. Sid, as well as Pink and the others were still there. "You need to explain to us what is going on, so we have a clear picture before they arrive."
"The situation outside is getting more dire." Clark started to explain. "The resources, the brains that we need to function, need to come from a certain dead, or a certain type of people that are alive.
"As time goes on, less resources can just be picked up off the ground, and less people are dying. We didn't want to come back empty handed. So we went a little deeper than we usually would have done, but we had been there a couple of times before.
"This time, as we were searching through the apartment buildings, we ran into them, Zombie Hunters. There weren't a small amount either. By the time we realised it, we were trapped. They were going through all of the buildings in the entire area."
Clark's explanation sounded quite similar to what Pink and the others had experienced, it was only due to Zain's survival techniques that they hadn't ran into anyone and were able to spot the Zombie Hunters first.
"Their strength was overwhelming, they were so strong with their powers that they didn't even need to kill us. Instead they trapped us and placed us in one room altogether.
"After that, they brought in two others, one was their leader. Everyone acted differently when they saw him. A big guy, broad shoulders, young and confident. By his side there was another man wearing a hoodie.
"The man with the hoodie, he touched the others head's and he was able to read their memories. They managed to find out everything about the Reborn group. How many of us there are, and where we're located. n0๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ท.๐0๐
"Luckily, I was the last person for them to interrogate, and while they were busy, I made a run for it and bolted out of the window. I managed to make somewhat of a soft landing, because I landed in a pile of dead zombie bodies, corpses that they had been piling up high.
"They're coming, I know they are, I could see the look on their faces. They didn't care that we could speak just like them, they just cared whether we were zombies or not!"
It was clear Clark was shaken up by the whole experience, and what he said seemed true and explained why his clothes were so bloody.
"Out of all of the groups that attacked us first, it had to be the Zombie Hunters, the most unreasonable out of the bunch." Sarah mumbled, biting on the back of a pen lid.
If it was any of the other groups, she could attempt to talk to them in some way, but not the Zombie Hunters.
Sarah headed to one of the terminals that had multiple screens on display, at the moment it was displaying the camera feed just outside of the base. She typed away a few times and the cameras changed splitting to even more feeds, a grid of around twenty.
The others rushed over as they looked at the cameras. It was the CCTV system through the town.
"I hacked into the town's CCTV feed a while ago. I did this just for situations like this. When battling a large group, the best thing one can have is information, and this should give us a lot of information." Sarah explained.
Looking at the feeds, it certainly did, but the situation seemed a lot worse than they imagined. In the town, nearly every alleyway the camera was pointed at, groups of people could be seen going through the streets.
Most of them were wearing the black clothing with the words Zombie Hunters written on the back, and while they were walking through the streets, they were getting rid of every zombie they could see with ease.
They went down as easy as stomping on ants. The regular zombies were unable to put up a fight, and the other stage zombies had been cleared in the area long ago.
"What is this?" Sid's mouth was left wide open. "Did they send the whole Zombie Hunters after us! There has to be around 5000 people!"
It certainly looked that way, and if it was the case, it meant there were 5000 humans coming after them, with strong abilities all here to do just one thing.
"What do we do?" Kun asked.
"What can we do?" Pink replied. "The Zombie Hunters have already nearly taken over all the other territories. It seems like they are forcing our hand. At some point, we need to fight back, and with these guys, it might be the best chance we have."
Kelly, Skittle and Dab couldn't agree more about that, because there certainly wasn't something they could do with the five of them, and even if Zain was here the situation would be tough.
"That's himโฆ that's the leader!" Clark pointed out at the camera.
Standing at the front of one group was the upscale young man. Staring into the camera, Skittle squinted his eyes, and then they suddenly opened extremely wide.
"That'sโฆ it's Buke!"

Chapter 300 Zombie Hunter's Attack
Skittle continued to stare at the camera feed of the large young man who was standing in front of all the other Zombie Hunters. The camera didn't have any sound, but based on his actions as he pointed and directed the other members to act, it was quite clear that he was someone important.
If he wasn't the leader, then he was at least someone who was very high up the ladder in the Zombie Hunters.
"Wait, you know him, by name as well?" Kun asked.
"Heโฆ he was a university student, a close friend of mine and Zain. This was before the whole apocalypse started." Skittle explained.
The three of them, although all of their personalities were extremely different, somehow they stayed friends, hanging out with each other whatever opportunity they would get.
Even if it was just hanging out in a room together while Zain played games, Skittle would study and Buke would just make fun of the two all the time for being such giant nerds, at least in his head that's what he saw them as.
Looking back, a small smile appeared on Skittle's face. So much had changed since then. He would often hear people talk about how they hoped something like a zombie apocalypse would come. n0๐ฝ๐๐ต๐ข๐ข๐.๐ฐ0๐
It would make the world more interesting and it would put the real skills of people to the test. He was sure most people who thought that way were either dead, or regretting those words. One only knew what they had until they no longer had it.
Meanwhile Pink was thinking about these three friends. Someone as amazing as Zain, and even Skittle, was impressive but now one of the three was the leader of the Zombie Hunters.
If the leader was half as impressive as Zain, then she felt like they might have a large problem on their hands.
"If you are friends, can't you go out there and speak to him, he should listen to you, right?" Dab asked.
"I don't think that's going to work." Skittle answered. "You see, when the apocalypse started the three of us were still in this together. We travelled where we could together, but in the end, I was put in a situation where I was bit, and that's how I became what I am now.
"You know what I was like before, I was unable to speak, I was wandering aimlessly just like the other zombies. Of course, in Buke's eyes I was no longer his friend, and was nothing but just a monster.
"Buke tried to kill me, while Zain did everything to protect me. I don't know much of what happened after that, apart from Zain winning the fight."
Sarah was rushing frantically as she typed a few things on the computer, and it looked like she was trying to send a lot of information someplace else. The way she was acting it was as if the Zombie Hunters would enter even the lab they were in now.
"It's quite obvious what happened." Sarah said, as she finished doing whatever it was she was doing. "Zain let his friend live and in turn he managed to gain super abilities. He had a hatred for his friend being turned, you, and for his friend who was a zombie as well for beating him and putting him in that situation.
"Using his new powers, he decided to create an organisation that would get rid of all of the zombies all together."
The way Sarah spoke, they were able to put an image in their head. It made sense, they could see all of that happening, especially with Zain's personality, he might have even said a few words which spurred him on to an even deeper hatred.
It was time for them all to move, not the time to be trying to figure things out, as they had a base to look after. The zombies staying in the facility were sitting ducks, so instead they all got into different positions.
Many of them were on the rooftop of buildings, or on the buildings near the side. They were taking cover, hiding behind ledges, all facing outward. Then standing out the front of the gate, were X and Sid.
"We've sent our fastest Reborn groups to take them out, when they see an opportunity. It looks like a lot of these Zombie Hunters are reckless and confident in their strength. So much to the point where they break off from their group and act solo." Sid explained.
"Yes, but they are much larger in numbers than us." X replied. "It's easier to defend than attack, but we have a lack of weapons, while they have a wide range of ability users that can do all sorts of things."
One of the main advantages of zombies was their high numbers but for the Reborn group, that just wasn't the case.
"We will wait, and at the first sign, we will do the best we can. If the two of us get rid of a large number of their forces, then there is a chance that they will back off." X stated. "They don't know how strong our forces are, and just assume everyone is as strong as us."
Cheering, chanting, and laughter could be heard, as they looked down the street that led toward them. There was more than one street that led to the Reborn base, but they had used cars to block the pathways from the left, right, and the smaller pathways from the side, concentrating the Zombie Hunters to come through one direction only.
Soon they could see it, a horde packed the streets, walking down as if they were taking part in some type of parade. It was hard to tell who were the zombies when looking at this type of situation.
"Get ready." X said.
Suddenly, in front of his eyes, a blur appeared and the large young man named Buke, along with another fellow Zombie Hunter had teleported right in front of them. Holding up a fist, Buke threw it out hitting X.
He was sent flying into the air, breaking right through the metal door, bending it apart and sending it right through the concrete base.
"There's something you have that I want." Buke said with a smile.

Chapter 301 Reunited
After the Dark Zombies had learned of what had occurred, Humfree had made the decision that it was time for them to move out. So far they had been building up their strength, not making large movements, and mainly focusing on the demons.
However, from the information they had gathered, it appeared that allowing others to take each other out wasn't going to work. So, they gathered the helicopters and a large chunk of the team was on the move.
A good 90 percent of them had gone out on this expedition, it was the bulk of their forces, leaving just a token group behind, and that token group didn't really have anyone of significance either.
Those that had arrived with Zain were leaving, Carl was going as well as the two Chained Zombies that would always be by his side.
"Hey!" Humfree said as he was boarding his chopper, along Carl and the Chained Zombies. "You, come with us."
Zain was split from Anna and the others, as he boarded the large helicopter along with Carl and Humfree. They soon took off, and they were flying over the city once again.
"What do you think of all this?" Humfree asked, looking at Zain who seemed to be sitting there with no expression at all.
"What do I think?" Zain said. "The truth is, I was going to leave anyway, so the fact that you're giving me a free ride is great, but if you're asking me something else, as in whether the right time to strike is correct or not, I think it's a big risk to your group."
Humfree let the words settle in for a while, until a smile appeared on his face.
"I can see why you've survived for so long." Humfree said, "But, it's because your viewpoint isโฆ let's not use the word wrong, but different."
"Right now, you're in survival mode, and all you can think about is making the best decision to survive. Now, if we were to look at the current situation I would say you are right."
"If someone took out the Reborn group, then we are also unlikely to be strong enough to take them out. So there is a big risk there, but then what? If the Reborn group gets taken out, then next would be the military, then after that the Zombie Hunters, and lastly, it's us."
"There's a reason why the demons have yet to make big movements, because they're waiting for all of us to take on each other. With their powers of disguise, they can manipulate the situation so they don't have to do the work."
"In truth, we need to act now, and as a way to make sure of our permanent survival and not temporary survival, the best choice would be if we were all to work together."
For the first time, Zain felt like he actually had his eyes open up a bit. What Humfree was telling him made a lot of sense, but he also wanted to take the advice with a grain of salt.
After all, this was the person who refused to work with his partner, and abandoned her because they both had different paths. Maybe because she was in danger, he was having a change of hearts and was making all these excuses just to help her.
'I wonderโฆ Humfree is still human, my intelligence has increased, but I still don't feel so emotionally attached, if anything less so.' Zain thought. 'Will things always be like this.'
It was an odd feeling of almost loss, he wanted to feel sad that he had an inability to feel an emotion, yet, he couldn't even do that, which was making him feel as if there was something partly wrong with him.
The helicopters soon came across the area the Reborn group was once in, and it looked as if they had gone over a battlefield. The large apartment buildings had huge chunks missing and rubble on the floor.
The ground was littered with dead zombies, and humans as well. Many buildings were set ablaze, continuing to burn, while others were charcoal black, no longer able to burn.
From a distance they could see the Reborn building and it looked the same. Out of the corner of his eyes, Zain could see that Humfree's knuckles were turning white once again.
"Hey wait!" Zain said, as his system had popped up with something. They were down one street away from the main Reborn building. "Can we land here, there's something I want to see."
If it was a request from anyone else, then Humfree would have declined straight away, but this zombie had been surprising him lately in more ways than he could imagine, and if he was to make a request, then surely it would be something interesting once again.
As the helicopter landed, the others continued landing in different areas yet close together, with most of them being based around the base of the Reborn group. Before the helicopter landed, Zain had jumped down confident his legs would take the fall and rushed off.
"Keep an eye on him!" Humfree shouted through the loud sound of the blades above, looking at Carl.
Carl jumped off and went after Zain, but he was sure if Zain wanted to, that he wouldn't be able to keep up with him. After running the street for a while, Zain continually looked at his system, until he took a sudden right turn.
It was a crumbled apartment building, he lifted the large piles of rubble throwing them behind him as if they were styrofoam. He continued and continued until he had reached the foundations of the bottom floor.
Up ahead, he could see them.
"The system was right." Zain mumbled to himself.
The sound of footsteps were heard coming toward him, Carl appeared by Zain's side and could see what he was looking at.
"I'm assuming you know these people?" Carl asked.
"I do." Zain replied. n0๐โฏ๐๐๐ฐ๐.๐0๐
Out from the apartment building, Skittle, Pink, Kun, Kelly and Dab were all alive and well, and were surprised to see Zain in front of them.
"Zain!" They shouted and ran over, as they did, many of them grabbed onto Zain tightly, especially Skittle who wrapped his arms around his waist.
"What a surprise this is to see." Carl smiled. "I thought someone like him would have no friends."
The group had a moment, before they started to correct themselves, as they brushed rubble off their clothes and pretended to be nonchalant about their meeting, However, Skittle had a serious look on his face.
"Zainโฆ there's something you need to know. The Zombie Hunters, their leader, it's Bukeโฆ and he did all of this." Skittle said.
