Level up Zombie

Chapter 240 Survival Genius



Zain couldn\'t speak about his plan openly inside, there were too many that would listen in and suspect something else was happening, at the same time, he didn\'t want to make a big deal out of something that possibly could be nothing, but based on the System he didn\'t think that was the case.

Zain was quite aware of his popularity inside the Reborn group, there were many that found great confidence in his strength and quick leadership while out on missions. So much so that if he was to leave the Reborn group and asked others to come with him, a little more than a few perhaps would take up on that offer.

Which was why he needed to investigate on his own, as he didn\'t want there to be any infighting, at least not until he learned the truth.

Currently, all six of them were waiting out in an office building on the same street as the Reborn group, they were keeping an eye out at a diagonal angle across the street, seeing who entered and left.

"So we\'re looking for a person in military uniform that we haven\'t seen around the Reborn group, correct?" Kun asked, to which Zain nodded. "But doesn\'t that mean he might not turn up at all.

"If he hasn\'t been in the Reborn group for the six months while we were away, then why would he turn up now, and how do you even know about this person and why are you so worried about him?"

Zain couldn\'t even begin to answer those questions. If he told Kun it was a vision they would think he was mad. Regardless, Kun did have a point about one thing, and that was the fact that they didn\'t know whether this person would turn up or not.

"I say we can stay out here about a little over two weeks before Sarah starts getting concerned." Zain said. "If we come back then, she will think everything is normal."

"I can get us food and flesh!" Dab said, already licking his lips. Zain was wondering if he should have bought a slimmer zombie for a stake out mission, but Dab was one he could trust with this.

He was newer to the Reborn group than them, and because of his first missions being with Zain and his group he clearly had more loyalty towards Zain than the Reborn group itself.

"When we need it that would be nice, but we still need to be careful going out on our own and you will need to take one of the others with you." Zain stated.

——

Zain stayed by the window watching like a hawk and the others joined him from time to time, but since they were sure that he wouldn\'t miss anything, they decided to do their own thing.

The other five would often go in the room opposite for some training, just so the noise wouldn\'t distract Zain so much. Skittle, having a levelling system like Zain had managed to catch up to the others fairly quickly, and focused mainly on his strength.

He wasn\'t as quick as any of the other four, but if he grabbed you, Skittle could perhaps rip you apart, or rip your limbs off, which was very contrary to his looks. In terms of strength, his stats were around 20.

The only thing that Skittle still was unable to do was harden part of his body. Zain didn\'t know the reason why, apart from the fact that he never had an evolution regardless of the levels he went through. Still with his strength he could better than match a Titan.

Pink and Kun had improved quite a bit by continuing to absorb crystals and the same could be said for Dab. However, Dab was special in his own way. For one, he was faster than he looked, not entirely fast like the superhuman Cobra, but faster than Kun, yet a bit slower than Pink, perhaps due to natural ability.

On top of that, Dab could harden parts of his body, and also change the shape of the hardening to create weapons from his body. His hardening ability was almost an extension of his own body.

With it, he could do things similar to Zain, creating a hardened sword, or a hardened shield as such. The only thing was Dab didn\'t have a limit as he could continuously change the shape.

This seemed to be unique to him, as he didn\'t have great strength like the others, but it was what allowed him to survive more compared to some of the Reborn. After all, in the six months they were in the Reborn group, it didn\'t go without its deaths.

They had all seen some groups return with four, or even only one coming back. The thing was, there was a constant flow of those finding out about the Reborn group and those dying on missions.

So the Reborn group often stayed to a close number of around 200 or so people. Which was why those that managed to survive for longer, were more well known compared to the others.

With Zain\'s group not losing a single person no matter who he went with, there would be those that always wanted to go out on missions with him. After all, Zain had been given the nickname of the Survival Genius. Doing everything he could for him and his group to survive.

This was how he managed to get quite the high reputation within the group. He was aware of the control he had over others though.

\'With the current situation, what do I do if I find out something that I wasn\'t meant to?\' Zain thought.

\'I still haven\'t found out about myself or how to stop these visions. We only have clues, but I guess at least Kelly somewhat found out about herself.\'

It turned out after running a number of tests, that Kelly was not an undead, or at least she wasn\'t a zombie like the rest of them. Zain could tell, based on her smell, but as stated before she didn\'t exactly smell human either, which was what made it a little confusing.

According to Sarah, Kelly was more of a supernatural, she was closer to what the Zombie Hunters were. The thing was, her powers gave her Reborn like qualities and this was where the confusion lay.

Just like an undead, a wound that was given anywhere on her body would heal, but would do so at a rate that was closer to Zain\'s rather than other zombies. Just like a zombie she would also need to consume flesh to somewhat replenish flesh.

However, there was no need for her to consume brains, this had no advantage and her body wouldn\'t deteriorate over time as well. Some zombies would be confused by her smell and not go after her, but it seemed to be a fifty-fifty situation.

Her strength was like that of a zombie and her speed as well, the only thing was, she was not a zombie at all. Because of this there was also no way for her to pass on the virus either.

If she was to bite another person, it would do nothing since it wasn\'t the same strand of virus that affected people in the same way. Some would say she was the perfect zombie, if all Reborns were like her, they would just say she was a superhuman. One that could heal with a bit of cannibalism.

Hearing the results, it was a big weight off Kelly\'s mind and apparently Sarah had given her a choice there and then. If she wanted to stay with the Reborn group, or whether she wanted to be escorted to a human camp, maybe even the military camp where Cody was at, or even the Zombie Hunters.

Zain thought that after she had learned the truth that she would want to be with Cody. After all, when the two of them travelled, she was always weary of him due to his past, however she had made the surprising decision to stay with him and the others.

\'Having a superhuman could be handy in many situations, and she seems to naturally grow in strength as well, even without crystals. It would be good to do a few tests and see how the crystals affect a superhuman, because if they do it could be quite difficult to deal with the Zombie Hunters if they know of this fact.\'

A week had passed watching the Reborn group base and they saw people enter and leave. Zain was starting to lose out hope, but believed the system gave him a quest there and then for a reason, and he was right.

Because walking up to the base, was the very same man he saw in his vision, in the same military uniform as before.
