Level up Zombie

The biker gang, that was really just a bunch of high schoolers, seemed to refer to themselves as the Wild Bones. They were pretty excited to talk about it in front of Zain, talking about all of their accomplishments and how they had taken over a lot of schools.

However, Zain having never heard about them had put a slight damper on their mood, but he quickly explained that he was a university student, and that if he was still in high school, he was sure he would have known about the Wild Bones.

When the attack had started, it had actually happened while they were in school. According to them, the teachers were useless and unorganised and most of them had abandoned the place instantly to get in their cars and drive away.

At the time, it was because of the Wild Bones, who were originally a much bigger group, that they were able to protect a school. One of the hardest places to make sure it was clear of zombies.

It was then that Dali had also left the group for a brief moment after figuring out things were okay. He had gone on his own to his brother’s primary school, and rescued him from there as well. Then when all was well, he decided to return and that’s when they noticed that the school was being attacked.

It wasn’t from zombies though, and instead it was from the other biker gangs that they had ruled over in the past. They had failed to defend their schools from the attack and wished to not just join the others, but beat them and take over their hideout completely.

When Dali returned, he had taken out most of the attackers and they were able to defend the school once more. Still, they had to eventually move from the school. The group was under attack from people more than they would have liked.

The fact that the area was clear and boarded up meant they got quite a bit of attention, not just from the past gangs that they fought against but also from local people looking to join in. At first they were trusting of others, but they quickly realised through a series of problems that the only ones they could trust were themselves, and now the entire Wild Bones group was just down to those in front of them.

Their story was what Zain expected to happen in a world like this. The one thing he was surprised about was the fact that they were able to hold onto a school for so long.

‘Perhaps on my way back, when I head to the Reborn group, I should pass a school. It should be a place that could be made into a territory allowing me to get more passive exp from it.’

“It’s getting dark.” Zain said. “We should hold up in an apartment, and then we can start our hunt tomorrow.”

The others agreed, they had normally been resting at night. It was the natural reaction of most, and judging from their conversation they knew nothing about these demons. So far everyone who Zain had met didn’t know about them.

Due to the memories he had seen though, he knew they existed.

After coming out on the third floor of an apartment block and clearing out all of the rooms. Zain didn’t say anything as he went into the bedroom himself, and locked the door behind him, not allowing any of the others to follow.

“Well, he is a very friendly person to have around isn’t he?” One of the men asked. “We told him everything that happened to us, and we still don’t know a single thing about him.”

“Just be happy that he’s helping us.” Nit said, as he slapped his friend at the back of the head. “He can survive out there on his own, we are the ones that need him.”

“Then… Why is he helping us?” The member asked.

That was something that Dali wanted to know as well. Was there something to these crystals that Zain wished to collect, is that where he got his strength from?

As soon as the sun had risen, Zain unlocked his room door, and clapped his hands hard, waking everyone up.

“The sun has risen, let’s get this over with, and after that I will take you to the Zombie Hunters.” Zain stated.

Half asleep, many of them were rubbing their eyes, but the adrenaline had kicked in as soon as they left the door. A sleepy move could cost them their life so they were on high alert.

They had veered away from the Zombie Hunters location for a bit, so Zain could accomplish his goal, because in the first place, it seemed like the closer they were getting to the Zombie Hunter areas area the less zombies there were, and in a way that made sense.

After a while though, they had finally come across a Titan among a group of zombies in the wild. It was standing there in the middle of a crossing, among a bunch of cars.

“Remember, you guys have to deal the finishing blow.” Zain said, as he was the first one to move out.

As soon as Zain got close enough, the Titan turned its head and picked up one of the cars that was in front of it. Running across though, Zain was already right by the Titan’s side before it could throw the car.

Jumping in the air, Zain threw out a punch, hitting it in its chest. It stumbled backwards and dropped the car. Sprinting in again, Zain gave it a couple more punches, and then a kick to its legs, causing it to fall down.

When it was on the ground, Zain proceeded to use both hands grabbing onto its harder shell and using his strength to rip off the hard black armour. After that, Zain jumped back, landed on top of a car and whistled.

It was a signal, a signal to the others that it was now their turn. Coming out from the alleyways where they were hiding from, they held weapons in their hands. They could see the Titan slowly standing up, with the hard armour from its chest ripped.

Killing a zombie meant hitting it in its brain, so they wondered just how Zain opting up its chest was going to help.

‘In the past, we would have done everything we could to avoid these evolved zombies… so maybe with this we’ll learn something.’

Nit was the first to reach the Titan, but he was so focused on the Titan that he was unaware of a zombie coming out from the side, with its mouth wide open toward him. Nit looked panicked and lifted his arm but if he was bit then it would mean turning.

As its mouth opened, a pole went right through its head from the side, and the zombie collapsed on the ground.

Turning his head, he could see Zain, standing on top of a car with a makeshift pole in his hand.

“I said I would help you guys… just focus on taking out the Titan, and I will do the rest.” Zain stated.
