Level up Zombie



If anyone else had said these words, Zain would have regarded them as a madman, and the others sitting on the sofa felt that way now. However, Zain knew from the system message that the person in front of him was one of the creators or one of those who started the zombie apocalypse in the first place.

That was why he was inclined to listen to what he had to say. As for the others, they believed there had to be a reason why all the zombies were following this man, so they paid attention to his words.

"I see I have managed to get all your attention," Humfree smiled. "First of all, I think it's important to mention to all of you that this isn't mine and Zain's first meeting, unlike the rest of you, isn't that right?"

The others turned to Zain. They didn't really know him that well. After all, they had only met him in the prison or outside for a few seconds.

"That's right, and I think I should mention that the last time we met, you had killed a few of my friends." The others' hearts started to thump upon finding this out. If Zain knew he was such a dangerous man, then why would he agree to come with him?

In the end, what choice did he really have, though?

"I see you're not shy about sharing things," Humfree laughed off the comment. "But you see, there was a reason for doing what I had done back there. Just in case no one knows anything, I will explain with a bit of context.

"Back then, Zain was travelling with a group of humans, as well as those who are like him—conscious zombies. However, I'm sure some of you know that there are things in this world that we now call demons, and they have the ability to shift into a human's skin, disguising themselves as one of you. I apologise for what happened back then.

"But I did what I did because one of the humans you were travelling with was, in fact, a demon. Killing them allowed you to be saved back then. Otherwise, at one point or another, you would have all been unexpectedly betrayed and killed on the spot.

"You see, these demons are tricky, difficult creatures because you have no clue when they have taken over someone close to you. If they manage to absorb them as well, they will even have the human's previous memories, making them almost indistinguishable from the person they stole."

If there was one thing the group could be sure of, it was the hatred that Humfree had for these demons. He had made a couple of comments on the way here that had made that quite clear.

"Are you stating that they were all demons at that time?" Zain asked. "I doubt that very much, and how can you be so sure there was a demon among us? Or are you just untrusting of all humans in general?"

The others raised their eyebrows because they thought Zain had a very good point.

Humfree dug into his pocket, pulling out a small square device with a screen and an arrow on it. The arrow was dead in the centre, unmoving. It somewhat looked like a radiation scanner one would see on TV shows.

"This is a device that I managed to create myself. It works within a 1-kilometre radius," Humfree explained. "The pointer in the centre will start to move to the right when it gets a signal, but it's very sensitive. When it detects that there is a demon, the pointer will go straight to the right, so I am unable to use it to pinpoint who the demon is.

"A few adjustments need to be made, and then we might be able to do it in the future. But you see, it was this device that allowed me to know there was a demon among you back then. At the same time, I want to make it clear that this device is on even now, and it's only because there are no demons among this group that I decided to allow you to come back."

Zain started to think back to their initial interaction. Out of all those who were killed, all of them were humans. All the Reborn Zombies had managed to survive. The reason why he was left alone was somewhat making sense... but then why not just tell the group? Perhaps they could have outed the demon by acknowledging they were among them.

Perhaps Humfree just didn't want to take the risk. From what they knew of him, he would never allow a demon to roam free.

"There is another thing... I wonder how Humfree would react if I told him I can detect who is a demon and who isn't. The system reward I received. It will tell me instantly. I didn't have it back then, so I can't confirm, and I have yet to see a demon disguised since then."

"Now that all of that has been cleared, before I continue explaining what the Dark Zombies are and what we do, I need to ask you a question, Zain. I'm guessing you were with the Reborn Zombies before?"

Zain felt like there was no need to hide his situation. Humfree wouldn't be explaining all this and then just kill them after. Only a madman would waste his time doing such a thing.

"Correct," Zain nodded.

"I see, so that means you would have met my wife, Sarah. I am quite happy to hear that she is still alive. I should have guessed with the Reborn group still running strong. Again, for those who don't know, I am Humfree Bain, and I run a group called the Dark Zombies, a group of zombies that have consciousness.

"While my wife, her name is Sarah Bain, runs a group of zombies called the Reborn group. At one point, we had the same goal, but we started to drift away. I don't know what Sarah told you all, but I am here to tell you the truth and nothing but the truth.

"And first, you should all know that I and Sarah were both the ones who created the zombie virus."

Zain picked up clearly on the words that were used. He said "created," and not "found" like Sarah. Just why would someone want to create Zombies?
