Level up Zombie

"It's okay." Zain replied. "I'm already the main enemy of you Zombie Hunters anyway."

The others were too far away to hear these words, and Crunk who had heard them, didn't understand the meaning behind them and was far too scared for his life to be thinking about those things.

His only life line, his powers which were in his fingers, he was unable to use and he had no idea how to use his powers any other way.

With a swing of the sword, Zain stopped just after cutting the skin from his throat. The surface had been cut and blood was trickling down. However, the eyes of Crunk were gone.

He was feeling lightheaded and suddenly fell over backwards as he had passed out at that moment.

'Oh?' Zain thought. 'I was never going to kill him in the first place, as I wanted to turn him, but I guess this works as well.'

Zain then turned to the others and it appeared his plan had worked. Defeating what was most likely their strongest member in a blink of an eye in front of them, would make them all feel powerless. This feeling that they had right now though, would soon disappear so Zain had to act fast.

Stepping forward, Zain was ready to run over to the others, but it looked like one of them had acted fast.

"Everyone grab on!" One of the youngest members said, and the others seemed to listen as they grabbed their packs and held onto whatever part of the member they could. They grabbed his arms, legs, chest and more.

With a blink, the next second they were all gone and they had disappeared just like that. Zain couldn't even use his sense of smell to smell them anymore.

"So they left, it must be some type of teleportation power." Zain looked down, as Crunk was still passed out on the floor. "It looks like they need to all touch him to teleport though. All the powers I've seen so far have some type of limitation. Guess they had no choice but to leave you behind.

"But based on what I just saw your friends do, I doubt that they will be searching for me. They didn't even stay behind to attempt to save you. What a naive person."

It was then that the rest of the Wild Bones came running out from behind the car they were hiding behind. They had waited a little bit after seeing the Zombie Hunters disappear thinking that they might be coming back, but quickly realised that they had to have run away.

"Zain you were so cool!" Wiz shouted, as he was the first to approach, and the little kid couldn't help but look at the hand that was on the floor. Of course, the kid, after surviving for as long as he had done, had seen a lot worse than this.

"Zain, thank you for fighting for us." Dali finally said. "I never imagined that of all the people from the Zombie Hunters, we would run into someone like him."

The real question on everyone's mind though, was what did they do now? The other Zombie Hunters had seen their faces, and their first impression of the group they were seeking out didn't give them a good impression.

"Our journey, it ends here." Zain said, as he stood up and put Crunk's body over his shoulder. "The Zombie's Hunters' base is not far from here and there is a chance I could run into more of them.

"After this they will be after me, not you. Not all of the Zombie Hunters you have met will be like this guy."

Zain was speaking from experience as he remembered the same woman he had met from before.

"I'm sure that if you explain to them what happened, they would understand your situation. You guys are talented and they will need people like you. They won't just be a group of ability users, they will need regular people to do other tasks as well, and you guys are a good group.

"You don't have to join them, but I was just giving you my opinion on what would be best for your survival, for you, your friends and your brother."

Without letting them reply, Zain was already walking off with Crunk's body and everyone was left looking at the back of Zain. It was a strange feeling for them all, as they felt like they had just lost a leader looking at this.

"Do we have to go with the Zombie Hunters, why can't we keep travelling with Zain?" Wiz asked.

"I would have liked that as well." Dali stated. "But I think he's just different from us, and we would only slow someone as great as him down. Maybe one day, we'll be able to help him."

"I think your right Dali." Nit said with a big smile. "Zain gave us options and not one of them was to travel with him. In the future, we will have to make him consider it as an option. We will pay him back."

——

When Zain was finally a good distance away from the others, he entered an alleyway and placed Crunk down. He was still bleeding from his wound. It was no wonder he hadn't woken up, and if Zain didn't turn him soon, Crunk would lose his life.

"I wanted to turn a few of the others as well. It's a shame that they ran away. Oh well, I hope you can use your ability without your hands, or at least grow them back." Zain thought as he went to open his mouth and deliver a bite.

Superhumans were more resistant to the virus, so there was a chance that he wouldn't turn, but he had to try.

As Zain opened his mouth to bite down, a pain in the back of his head started.

'No… not now.' Zain thought.

His vision started to go blurry, and his whole body was going weak, as he fell to the ground, passing out himself.
