Zain and Skittle followed Kun without knowing where he was taking them. Along the way, they hunted any mutated zombies they came across, and at the same time, Zain was also experimenting.
Through killing Zombies, or at least mutated ones, he found out that if he or Skittle were involved in killing a mutated Zombie, he would gain exp, and there would be no crystal. However, if Kun killed the mutated zombie, there would always be a crystal.
Zain did want to analyse the crystal, but Kun seemed to be quite possessive of the crystals he gained and placed them in a little pouch inside his suit's blazer. Zain had a thought, or more like a theory, that maybe if he touched the crystal, it would tell him what he needed to do with it to gain exp or at least a new set of information.
However, it wasn't worth getting into an argument over the crystals, so he decided to put this matter at the back of his head for now. Without a doubt though, it was the system that was causing the crystals to disappear and turning them into exp.
"I can't believe it. How is someone able to tell who has a crystal in them and who doesn't?" Kun wasn't yet used to how Zain was able to judge accurately and find the Evolved Zombies, "I mean, you didn't get any of them right when you were hunting, but I hit the jackpot almost every time, wait till I tell the others about this, haha!"
Hearing this, a red flag popped up in Zain's mind.
"It was just luck. I mostly guessed them and tried to see if I could tell the difference or not, but as you can see, it was a string of bad luck for me. I was unsuccessful, and as you said, it's impossible to tell."
They had eventually entered one of the rough neighbourhoods. There were hardly any large skyscrapers with fancy designs or giant shopping malls with several floors in this part of the city.
Instead, the streets were filled with litter, there was graffiti on the walls, and places had been boarded up before the whole Zombie attack had started. There were still Zombies here, but they just seemed to be fewer in number.
"Well, here we are, the Roka Cluck Club!" Kun said excitedly and spread out his arms as if he was showing something impressive.
From the outside, the building was square-shaped, and it looked small due to it being right between two apartment buildings, but one would imagine it was actually big inside if it was a single venue.
Right above the door, there was a sign with the club's name, but it wasn't in the best condition. From the word 'Cluck', the L had fallen off, and someone had spray painted the U into an O, spelling out an entirely different word.
"I see you are not impressed, but trust me, the inside is a lot better than the outside, and this is the place I've been talking about, so why don't we go in and say hello to everyone," Kun suggested.
Walking up to the entrance, Kun knocked on the door. The knocks weren't direct, and there was a set of patterns, which Zain instantly noticed. The former had knocked on the door twice, then paused, and knocked once again three times, and at last, two times again after another pause.
"We had to keep it simple...because, well, you will see what I mean," Kun said with a slightly embarrassed expression.
After a few moments, the unlocking and unwinding of locks were heard from the other side, and the door was pulled open. Kun walked in without hesitation and looked to his right, a little up.
"Thanks for that, Jelly," Kun said. "Oh, and I have two guests, so be nice, alright?"
Waving his hand, Kun was telling the two of them to follow. Usually, Zain wouldn't have done such a thing, entering a place without confirming the risk, but at the moment, there was no reason for them to trap or trick him. He was entering a place where they were all like him.
Moving forward, the two stepped through the door, and now Zain knew why Kun was looking up because there was a man as large as Buke in height. As for his body mass, he certainly was a huge person. In comparison, nearly twice the width of Buke.
His clothes had been torn, revealing the skin of his belly, which looked to have been bitten and chewed on. In addition, he was bald, which just made his head and belly look even larger.
"Alright." Kun clapped. "This is one of the venues that my band used to play at, and in fact, Jelly and I have known each other long before the zombie apocalypse. He was one of the bouncers. You know those guys who decide who goes in and out of the club. But just keep in mind he had a bit of an anger issue, though he has been working on it, haha!"
Jelly chuckled, and his large belly was jiggling, moving up and down.
"I was actually the one that recommended this to be our base of operations, and when we came in here, we found Jelly, although he seems to have memory problems, which is why we gave him that name."
The zombie man named Jelly looked at the person who had entered the door.
"He looks human." Then, Jelly asked, "Why did you bring a human here?"
"He's not human. Do you think with you around, I would bring a human here? You would probably eat him before even saying hello." Kun rolled his eyes.
Not wanting to cause trouble, Zain took off the scarf around his neck, showing the bite wound.
"You should be able to smell. I'm not like them." Zain eventually said.
Jelly sniffed the air around Zain for a few seconds.
"You're right. This one is not a human."
It was quite impressive seeing another zombie talk. And what was interesting, though, was the level of intelligence the current zombie held. The problem was, it was hard to tell if Jelly had always been like this or was it after turning into a zombie.
Now inside the place, with Skittle in as well, Jelly shut the door behind them and put back all the locks. Meanwhile, Zain took a moment to look around the club.
The place was larger than he had expected from the outside. It had several tables and seats with a stage at the other end. Then there was also a bar area on either side. The only thing was, the place was quite empty.
Another thing he noticed was that there were no dead bodies on the ground or zombies anyway, apart from a few blood spills here and there. That's when Zain and the others heard voices coming from the back of the stage.
"Come on, let's go meet the rest. I'm sure they will be excited to see you." Kun said.
