Level up Zombie

Chapter 108 Care Package

Quickly, Zain exited the apartment complex area and saw multiple military-style aeroplanes dropping off several care packages in different areas. Not just around the city but also in the suburban areas outside of the city as well.

'This means the military hasn't completely failed to control this situation. Perhaps the military bases are still safe places for people to be, regular people at least.' Zain thought.

"What is in those large crates?" Pink asked.

"Most likely food, water, supplies, medicine, and…weapons," Kun answered. "It's standard for the military to do this in times of war or when a country is supporting a resistance of some sort, without really showing that they are supporting the group.

"Essentially, by doing this, they are trying to give the people hope, but it also means you're on your own."

When Kun spoke these words, one could tell it was something he had experienced personally, and it wasn't just a guess. Kun had seen it all after working in an organisation that had close ties with the military.

"Should we go towards it then? Maybe there will be something that we can use." Pink suggested.

Both Kun and Zain turned, giving her a disappointing look.

"Don't forget what we are," Zain stated. "The only thing that could be useful to us is probably the weapons. Still, giving normal people weapons might just send this whole place into even bigger chaos. I need some time to decide on this."

There was one thing that interested Zain, and it was the quest. However, the award didn't seem too great. A Bronze Card was probably something not much, even worth less than 5000 Exp, so if he were to lose out on this one, it wouldn't really be a loss for him. However, that also meant giving humans the advantage of getting their hands on guns.

"I'm guessing both of you will now be busy absorbing the crystal you gathered, right? I think it's best if you finish that before we move any further, I'll get Cobra and Skittle to keep you company. I won't be far."

Agreeing to this, the two of them went into a convenience store across the street to absorb the crystals. While they were busy, Zain stayed on the street just outside, ordering Jam to continue attacking the mutated zombies, with him finishing them off, but rather than using his sword, Zain was throwing a small knife at them towards their heads.

After killing a few mutated Zombies, two things happened.

[Dagger Mastery is now level 1]

[Now you have unlocked three different weapons mastery, Dagger, Sword and Handgun mastery.]

[Undead Mutated Zombie dog 'Jam' is now level 2]

[Stat point has been used on Intelligence]

? [Intelligence: 2>>3]

Jam's intelligence was already high, and Zian wanted to see what exactly one could do with high intelligence. He was hoping that he could give Jam complex orders and maybe even use him to track down things.

Dogs had a better sense of smell compared to humans. However, after turning into a zombie, the sense of smell for humans would increase greatly, so he imagined that something similar must have happened with Jam as well, and the heightened sense of smell would make it so they would never have to worry about finding humans again.

Back inside the shop, Zain checked up on the two who were sitting down. Intense energy was coming off from both Kun and Pink's bodies, to the point where it looked like steam was coming out from their heads.

Their skin colour had also changed slightly, making it look more like Zian's. Although it was pale, it wasn't to the point where one would instantly think they were undead.

"This is amazing," Pink said, taking a deep breath. "I can't believe it. These crystals really do make us feel stronger, I can tell."

Standing up, Pink started to do some kicks in the air. They were fast and swift kicks. One could tell that these were from a trained person, and as she continued to kick the air, she soon noticed the shop wall in front of her.

Spinning on her leg, she threw her other leg and performed a spinning back kick. As it hit the wall, the whole shop shook upon impact, and a large crack formed on the wall.

'They've both evolved…that has to be it.' Zain thought. 'But is there a specific path they have chosen? Is it like me, if it was the case, I would guess that Pink was the Agro-type evolution path, but what about Kun?'

"Did you see that? I think if I kick a Titan with this, it would definitely fall over." Pink excitedly said. "Kun, what about you? It looks like you have changed as well."

Kun was clenching and unclenching his fist a few times. Finally, he stood up and threw out a punch, but it looked the same as it always did, and it didn't feel any different either.

"I'm not sure...if I have changed. I mean, I can feel that the crystals worked on me, that's for sure, but I'm not a natural fighter like you. Will getting stronger make much of a difference?"

"It's okay," Zain stated. "Remember, everything is for survival, so even if your body is a little bit stronger than before, it will be for the best. Anyway, with the way the two of you look right now, all we need is some clothes to cover you up a bit."

Zain pointed to Kun's mouth and Pink's legs, where both had wounds.

"Wait, why do you want to cover us up?" Kun asked.

"Because we'll be going to those care packages where there will be people. We need the element of surprise on our side."

Just as Zain finished those words, they suddenly heard distant gunshots.

All three of them frowned upon hearing the noise. They knew that if humans got their hands on the weapons, it might get much harder.
