Level up Zombie

Piles of dead bodies had already been brought out and identified. As Humfree had stated, he had been keeping an eye on the Reborn group for a while, so he had a type of list of who was part of the Reborn group.

There were even some zombies there that he had invited over to the Dark Zombies, but they had refused to join, eventually joining the Reborn Zombies. He wouldn’t have punished them just because they chose to join another side.

What it did show was that nearly every Reborn zombie had been killed, which was why there was the big question in their mind, what happened to Sarah?

“Sarah.” Skittle said. “She was the first to realise that the fight was a lost cause. When X had already lost to Buke, she had given the order to everyone, to escape, to run away and do whatever they could to survive.

“The Reborn group had attempted to do that, but the Zombie Hunters were ruthless and powerful.”

“We only survived because of Skittle!” Dab interrupted. He felt like it was an important point to make, credit needed to be given to their saviour and it didn’t sound like Skittle was going to do it himself.

“I see.” Carl said. “The Zombie Hunters weren’t meticulous in their search. It’s not as if they were going to go around making sure each zombie is dead. So they just assumed you had been crushed.”

“Not just that.” Skittle added. “I believe we were just an afterthought. From the beginning, it seemed like their goal was to get Sarah. They continued to shout out her name, and they were very careful to not use any large scale attacks on the base until they got Sarah.

“In short, although we didn’t see it with our own eyes, due to the situation we were in. We believe that Sarah was taken by the Zombie Hunters, alive.”

With a wave of his finger, Humfree had called Dart over. He came by his side, and whispered in his ear. The two of them nodded for a bit, until he placed his hands together as if he had a hard decision to make.

“So far, among the dead, there has been no one that resembles Sarah.” Humfree reported. “So what you say is most likely to be true, although there are some extremely burnt and disfigured bodies that it’s impossible to tell who is who. We just have to hope that the Zombie Hunters stick true to their name, and they only go after zombies and not humans.”

It was a tense situation and the group broke up for a while after sharing what information they had. Zain did some more exploring. He wanted to refill his horde members with hordes of zombies, but in the area they were in now, it was completely lacking in zombies.

Zain was wondering what to do next with the others, or if he should try to slowly claim back the territories he had lost, or maybe even try to go for new territories with his powers. If he entered deeper into the centre of the city, there was a chance he could even recruit higher stage zombies to join his horde.

With his strength, he would be able to survive, and the exp gained, he could make those in his horde stronger. He put a pin in that idea, for a moment, as he saw movement from Humfree and the Dark Zombies. They were clearly getting ready for something, and Humfree had called over for another meeting.

Humfree then stood up and slammed his fist on the table. A little of his frustration was shown.

“Alright, I’ve made the decision, we have to go and rescue Sarah Bain.” Humfree declared. “The Zombie Hunters force is large. The Dark Zombies will attack directly from the front. We will aim to hold out as long as we can while minimising the amount of losses on our side, but it’s important that we make it look like we are pushing.

“Meanwhile, Carl, Zain, I want you guys to take a small group with you, ten people maximum in size, that is focused on rescuing Sarah. Once Sarah has been rescued we will pull back to the base, and figure out our next move from there.”

A plan had been made, but it was one that involved Zain.

‘I’ve been on this ride with Humfree for long enough. There is no need for me to risk going up against the Zombie Hunters now. Humfree is putting us on a suicide mission just because of his feelings.’

Zain raised his hand at that moment.

“I can’t join this mission.” Zain said. “I know you said that it’s important for us to work together. So why are we attacking instead of talking? I know the Zombie Hunters won’t talk to us, but then in my opinion, there is no need to risk so many lives, including mine, just to save one person, even if she is your wife.”

Sarah was a kind hearted person, Zain could tell from what he had learned, but many would die in the process. Having Sarah on their side, without the Reborn group gave them no benefit. She was just one scientist and they already had Humfree.

“I thought you might say that, and you are not the only one that feels this way, trust me Carl said the same thing to me when I suggested this.” Humfree said. “But thier is a reason why the Zombie Hunters had kept her alive. The reason why they came looking for her.

“After hearing your friends’ story, I think it’s clear now. They already know that Sarah has a cure for the Zombies.” Humfree declared.
