Level up Zombie

The season was currently autumn, and in autumn it would get dark at just after 6 PM. This was important information for the group because right now, they had a couple of hours until the daylight would completely disappear.

"It would be best if we make it back before it's dark. Worst case, we should just stay and sleep in one of the apartments." Pink suggested as she continued to carry her mother, as it was just easier that way.

"Is that really necessary?" Dave replied. "I mean I know it's harder to see in the dark, but the place is about an hour away if we walk at a good pace."

Although what Dave said was true, there were a couple of times already on the way there where they had to take detours, walking around through certain alleyways where there were less zombies.

Or at times, even wait for zombies to pass. Worst case they would make small distractions with noise, but this also had the chance to attract other zombies as well which is why they didn't do this too much.

"We can't!" Pink shouted. "Otherwise, the demons will get us!"

"Demons?" Kelly replied, now walking fine. It was almost as if she had never been injured in the first place. So she was able to keep up with everyone.

"Do you mean, the special type of zombies, like the one you call a Titan? Is it another type like that?" Brandon asked.

It seemed like the others didn't know about the demons or had any interactions with them, but just thinking about those things, had already caused the entirety of Pink's body to shiver. After all, the last time she had met with one, the whole of the Reborn group had been killed and she narrowly escaped with her life.

Since the demons only seemed to come out at night for whatever reason, none of the others had interactions with them. Due to them staying on a normal sleeping cycle and what Dave said before was correct.

It was more dangerous at night with zombies around regardless of demons or not. With no light source, and one's vision being worse you were most likely to get bit or be put in a worse situation.

"Please, just if we don't make it back in time we have to sleep somewhere else. Just until the sun rises again." Pink pleaded with them.

If, of all people, Pink was worried out of the group, Brandon felt like it was something that they all needed to worry about as well.

"I think it's okay, the camp will be fine if it's a day extra. We need to stay safe after all."

Brandon ordered.

As the group continued to trek through the streets, they had come across something they didn't quite expect on their way back. Outside of a sandwich shop, there were several people with makeshift weapons, pots, and pans coming out.

There were four in total, a man who looked to be losing his hair holding a spear with a young adult next to him. A middle aged woman and a teen girl as well.

"Look honey, there are other people, we're saved!" the man said as he ran forward, but Cody quickly pulled his hand gun and pointed it toward them telling them not to get any closer.

"Wait, we're human, please don't shoot. Please, military man tell him." The man asked, pleading towards Brandon.

At least, everyone guessed 'military man' was aimed at Brandon, with his sunglasses back on his head and the SWAT outfit he was wearing, one could easily mistake him for being a military person.

"Before we do, are you guys affiliated with any group? How did you survive for so long?" Brandon asked.

"Me and my wife, we had a lot of food in storage, the other two that are with us. They are our neighbours and when trouble started we all huddled up together, stayed quiet, and continued to eat the food.

"We waited for the military to come, we don't even know how long it's really been, but when we ran out of food we had no choice but to come outside. We really, really, thought that there was no one else. Please, take us with you... please." The man pleaded and the others soon got on their knees and begged as well.

This world had created all sorts of different types of people, and these people just wanted someone to tell them what to do, an ounce of the old civilization they wanted back. In a way though, these people were perfect to take back to the museum, they listened well to orders.

In the end, Brandon had agreed to take them, but the weapons were taken off them and they were placed to travel in the middle of the group, that way Dave could keep an eye on them if they were to do anything.

The group was over half way there, and had run into some zombies down an alleyway route they had taken. With a knife, both Cody and Brandon had dealt with them easily. Running up on them and stabbing them in the head.

There was no hesitation in their actions, and the ones who had just joined the group were quite impressed, still thinking that they were with some army personnel and normal civilians. Seeing this just strengthened that fact.

Just as they were about to get out of the alleyway, they could see something go past. It was almost silent as it drove, but they all saw it causing everyone to rush out and have a look.

Now they were looking at the back of the vehicle, it was a large jeep like vehicle. It was an electric car which was why it hadn't made so much noise. It was perfect for this type of situation but the most shocking thing was, there was a group of men, in military uniform... real military uniforms.

'Is the army finally here, are they actually doing a real evacuation?' Brandon thought. 'If that's the case, it may be best to follow them.'

​ At the same time, Zain had finally woken up from his dream, and when waking up he had a seriously bad feeling and not too long after, there was a notification from the system that made him feel the most panicked he had ever been.
