Level up Zombie

A group of zombies had appeared from behind them, but the sight looked quite strange. Because it was a group of seven or so that were running towards them, while the other zombies that were far off in the distance were doing nothing of the sort.

But they didn't have time to worry about why this was the case, instead the people began to panic as they saw them, and instead of pointing their guns towards their captives, they moved and pointed them towards the Zombies instead.

Meanwhile everything that was happening, was exactly how Zain had envisioned it. His original plan had stayed the same, but due to the nice Bronze reward card, he had been given a little bit of help.

He didn't think the Bronze card would amount to much, especially after the silver card had given him 5000 exp. The reward should have been less than that, but with the situation he was in right now, it was as if the heavens were watching him from above.

[Bronze card has been used]

[Reward: Basic System upgrade]

Zain somewhat knew why this was a bronze card because it didn't outright help him in any way. It wasn't a new skill that he could use, nor did it increase his strength in any way. Instead it had given him the ability to locate roughly where all his horde members were.

A map could now be displayed. It wasn't detailed and didn't show where the city was, but did display the distance between where his horde members were to him in the middle. Each member appeared as a dot.

As soon as the attackers had arrived, Zain had given the order to his Horde members to come and attack. It was the break he needed, and due to the system, he knew exactly when they would arrive.

There was something else as well though, due to this upgrade, giving orders from the system to his individual horde members was easy, as he could look at the map and give orders to the ones he wanted to attack… ordering each individual to specifically go to a certain area.

"Shoot them all and let's get the F*ck out of here!" War ordered.

There was a problem though, Jam was strong, he had good stats and was stronger than the average person. The one he had bitten on the leg earlier, after letting go it had leapt up into the air and bit on the man's neck ripping it out.

His teammate that was closest, grabbed his gun ready to shoot Jam.

"If they're going to make some sound anyway, then this is just what we're going to have to do!" Zain rolled onto the ground picking up his two hand guns in the process, as he shot several times hitting the man in the shoulder first and the next bullet going through his head.

At the same time an order was given to Jam to get out of there and head into the alleway to hide for the time being. This was one ally he didn't want to lose.

At the same time, War was expecting some support from above, but there wasn't any fire at all. That was because Cobra had already entered the building and reached the second floor and took out the one with the sniper rifle, the one that would make the most noise.

As for someone else, they would need a bit more help, so Zain turned to the other side and started firing away. Even though Zain was a good shot, it was hard for him to hit a target so far with such a small opening, but that wasn't his aim anyway.

Because a second later the man was hit, breaking through the window and falling and landing on the ground, killed by the hit and the fall.

'Looks like your extra strength has done you well, Skittle.'

The gunshots were just a distraction. Cobra he knew was fast enough to succeed without help but Skittle, there was no way Zain wanted him to be hurt.

"Now's our chance, we have to act!" Zain shouted.

Hearing this, Kun picked up his automatic gun and held it firmly.

"Everyone down!" Kun shouted.

Dave, and the others listened to what they were saying and took cover on the ground. The whole thing was complete chaos, but what they had witnessed was Zain's amazing skill and the look on his face of no fear as he had acted.

If they didn't know better,  they would have thought they were in a movie, or at least that he was a trained soldier, it was hard to believe that Zain was just a student.

Getting behind one of the cars, Kun started to fire towards those in the shop. He did so in short bursts and quite accurately as well. Everything that was going on was reminding him of his days when he worked for the reborn group.

'Zain… did you plan all this, are those zombies that are attacking right now yours? This is beyond what I imagined you could do.' Kun thought.

The reason why Kun was thinking this wasn't because he could do this, it was because Zain had done this. Even if another person had the same set of skills as or talents as Zain had right now, it didn't mean they could utilize it like this, or pull off something like this either.

This was the act of someone who was experienced, but how could someone be experienced in warfare like this with zombies.

Shots were fired out, from War and the other side of the shop. In doing so, two of the Zombies had instantly fallen to the ground as they had been killed. Zain could tell they were dead because the system had given a prompt.

Although most of the people were bad shots as Zain expected, especially in a panicked situation. War was a different story, he was good, and if Zain didn't do something, then all his new followers would be dead before they even reached the group.

There was just one more thing he needed before he could act in a proper way.

"What are you doing!" Pink's mother said as she gripped onto Pink's arm.

"I have to help, I have to get rid of those guys that are shooting!" Pink replied.

"But, they are killing the zombies that are coming towards us, if you get rid of them then we will all die!" Her father replied.

"You think they are the bad guys in this situation?" Pink started with a serious look on her face. Right now, even though the zombies were helping them in their current situation, her parents still saw the humans as their protectors. "We would have been made into slaves. I'm sorry but I need to do this."

Pink pulled away. She kept low and crouched… kicking the guns that she had put on the floor over to her parents, in case they needed them. No matter what, they were the people that had raised her, looked after her this whole time, so she would protect them, even if they were no longer willing to protect her.

'Zain is worried that these guys will start shooting at him the second he goes after War, so I need to do my part as well.'

When in a good position, Pink sprinted to the shop and kicked the door down with her strength, snapping it off its hinges. For a second the person closest turned around, but before he could act, a kick had been delivered right to his head.

The other person had turned and went to fire a shot toward Pink, but slowly she could see it, see where the bullet was going, and moving to the side she had avoided the shot. It wasn't that the bullet was too slow, but the user was unable to predict where Pink would be next.

While in the shop, which looked like a type of restaurant, Pink kicked a chair that went flying and, in doing so, it had hit the gun out of his hand. Before he could recover, Pink was already in the air, and delivered a kick straight to his head.

Dave's group, who had kept low to the ground, could hear that the shooting was lessening, and had seen what Pink had done. She was fearless, and extremely skillful in a type of martial arts, it looked like.

While at the same time, Kun had dealt with the other side professionally, moving from cover to cover and having the perfect timing when shooting back.

'Three people… were able to take out nearly a whole group with weapons, just like that. Who are these people, what is this group?' Dave thought gulping, and thankful that they didn't attempt to take them on.

War had turned around to look at the chaos, he had killed one more Zombie of Zain's but what was starting to happen due to the gun fire, was more zombies were coming toward them due to the noise that was being created.

So even though War had killed perhaps around 20 or so zombies, most of them were just the regular types. Knowing this, Zain had finally ordered his Zombies to go hide along with Jam, making it so four of them were still left alive.

"You useless b*stards!" War screamed, and pointed his gun now to the people. "Before I get out of here, I'm taking you all to hell!"

"You stop F*cking shooting!" Zain said, as he shot a single bullet.

War had seen this and moved slightly, but he was too slow to act causing the bullet to hit his shoulder.

[Handgun mastery is now level 3]

Zain wasn't planning to level up his handgun mastery any time soon, it had just turned out that way.

"Pink, Kun, take care of the zombies that are coming towards us, but stop using your guns!"

There were still a number of Zombies that were heading to the area, but hopefully if they dealt with the ones close, then the people would be okay, and the others would stop coming due to the no noise.

"The rest of you… I suggest you pick your weapons up off the ground and get to work as well." Zain said, putting his gun away and now holding onto his sword.

He could see that War was now hiding behind a car, waiting to shoot back, but at the same time from the other side of the car, zombies were coming towards him.

'This damn kid is trouble. Who is he!' War thought.

The second he went to lift his head to shoot, a clang was heard, but it wasn't a bullet, it was due to Zain having thrown a knife at the car. The fear of what it could be had caused War to stay under cover.

He wasn't thinking straight, if he was, he could have easily been able to tell that it wasn't the sound of a bullet. Another clang was heard, and soon a loud crash came, as Zain stood on top of the car.

Zain immediately kicked the man in the head, and dropped down, holding onto his gun. Zain had dropped the sword and then proceeded to knee the guy right in the gut.

Spit came out of his mouth and his eyes were bulging.

'I feel like I've been hit by a bulldozer! I can't win… I need to get out of here.'

As War thought this, he could see that the strange person had opened his mouth wide, and had bit down right on his arm, ripping through the clothing that he had on.

"Arghh… you bit me!" War shouted.

After a few seconds, Zain stopped biting and held onto both of War's arms, as he smiled.

"You seem to be quite skillful with guns and you got rid of some of my Horde, so I could do with a replacement."

It was at that moment, as War could feel something changing in his body, he understood. It was unbelievable, but now it made sense. The only way for this all to happen… the Zombie horde that attacked, the fearlessness in his eyes, and the extreme strength.

"You're a Zo…" His voice trailed off, as War had been turned.

It was a tough battle, but it looked like they were experiencing the tail end of it, or at least that was what Zain had thought.  Because suddenly on his system, he could see that four of his Horde members had disappeared just like that, and a loud bang had come from the alleyway.

'They're dead… what was that?'
