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 me… 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.
"Oh… 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.'
——-
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.
"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 come… it is time for us to act!"
