302 Fate intertwined
The system allowed Zain to locate where the others were, and that was mostly due to the fact that nearly all the other zombies that he had forced to join his horde had been defeated.
There were still a few that he had kept in more hidden places that were alive, since his summoning didn’t quite store the zombies, but it allowed him to bring them more so from one place to another.
So his super zombies, such as Cobra, were kept in a more hidden area. Zain could always transfer his mind over to them and move them as he wished if it was a real emergency anyway.
The Dark Zombies were searching the area, trying to see if there was anyone else that they could find, but so far there was no luck. In the meantime, Zain and the others had been brought to the helicopter they had arrived in.
A few makeshift tables had been laid out as well as gazebos that were used to block the sun and wind. They looked to be making a little base here. It didn’t come as too much of a surprise, especially since from the big movements they had made, the Dark Zombies wouldn’t be going back until they had found something.
Zain could tell as well, they were searching for something, and it wasn’t clues as to who had done it, that was obvious.
Humfree, along with Carl, Pink, and the rest had all been given foldable chairs to sit on. The tension seemed heavy, and honestly Zain wanted to talk to the others on his own, but it seemed like Humfree would never allow for something like that to happen.
“It’s good to know that Zain’s friends have safely survived this atrocious attack.” Humfree said with a smile. “I guess introductions are in order first, my name is Humfree Bain, I am Sarah’s husband who I’m sure you knew very well, and also in charge of these zombies which we call the Dark Zombies.”
It was short, sweet and to the point, so much had been revealed to the others they didn’t know how to take it, or when they could butt in to say something.
“We have been looking after your friend Zain for a while now, when we learned of this attack, we rushed over here but it appears we were too late, now I would like to ask.” The smile on Humfree’s face had gotten wider, to the point where you couldn’t see his eyes and just what looked like two upside down crescent moons. Underneath that smile they could tell there were intense emotions floating about.
“What happened here, and where is Sarah?” Humfree asked.
The others looked at each other before answering and lastly, which was noticed by everyone, they looked at Zain. It was almost as if they were asking for permission. Despite Humfree clearly declaring he was the leader there and the one asking the question.
To be honest, Zain couldn’t lie, it was a nice feeling seeing them act this way. He gave them the nod to go ahead and Skittle cleared his throat as he went onto explain.
“One of the Reborn groups had been caught on a mission and that’s when they had learned about the group. After that, it looked like the whole group of five thousand, maybe ten thousand, of them came down the streets all with their powers attacking everything they could see.
“It was a slaughter, and not a single person could stop the leader… Buke.”
The name brought a wave of rushing memories for Zain. Skittle had already told him a bit before, about how Buke was the leader of the Zombie Hunters. With his strong personality and his ability to lead, Zain always thought in the future he would amount to something spectacular like this.
However, that was before the situation had become one like this one. Zain’s prediction turned out to be true, just in a bad way for all of them.
“Did he manage to see you?” Zain asked, interrupting the story.
“Wait, why would it be a big deal if he saw him?” Carl asked, noticing the question was directed at Skittle.
“We knew each other, but we parted ways after a little incident at a supermarket.” Zain explained.
“Wait.” Humfree said his finger on his chin. “Supermarket, this friend of yours, he didn’t happen to be around your age, wide shoulders, strong upper body and had light brown spikey hair… and was it the supermarket in Ragent town?”
Now it was time for Zain to be shocked. The description Humfree had given, matched perfectly with their friend. It was a vague description so he wasn’t so surprised, that was until they had heard the name of the area they were in.
A small town that was next to the university they stayed at, the supermarket where everything had changed for everyone, and they had all gone their separate ways.
“You’re right… how did you know that?” Zain asked.
“It was a coincidence.” Humfree answered. “You see, during our tests we did find the chance that there were those that could transform into superhuman. You know this from what I told you.
“I had run into him outside of the supermarket. I could tell he had all the signs of being a superhuman, so I decided to leave him be. I never thought he would create an organisation like the Zombie Hunters… honestly, I thought that they might even be able to help us against the demons.”
It had come as a surprise that Humfree was there back then. The fate of everyone involved was intertwining but just not in the right direction.
“And what about Sarah, do you know what happened to her?” Humfree asked again.
To which, Skittle gave a nervous nod.
