Level up Zombie

Chapter 168 Super Undeads

Seeing the platinum quest appear in front of him, Zain was wondering what to do. He had never completed a platinum quest to date, and he knew that the others had to be in serious trouble.

On top of that, it didn't look like the system was adjusting quests based on his state. For example, Zain had gotten the quest to find an active and live meteor, yet the reward of that quest never changed despite Zain being far stronger than he was when he had received the quest.

In Zain's experience from his games, it just meant these types of quests were just that difficult regardless and it could be the same right now, which was why for a second he thought about forgetting about this quest altogether.

"Zain, what's wrong, is everything okay?" Kun asked.

"I think… Pink and the others there in trouble." Zain replied. "And I don't know what to do."

Although Kun had no idea how Zain knew that the others might be in trouble, it had got to the point where he stopped questioning Zain's words.

"Isn't it obvious, we have to try and help them right? I mean, I know you're big on the survival part, but isn't there a way to help them without us risking our lives." Kun suggested.

He had travelled with Zain long enough to know what type of person he was. Judging by the look on his face, this was a hard one, if it was up to Kun he would have gone to help Pink already, but for Zain there had to be next to no risk.

? "There is a way." Zain mumbled.

If he was to use his Horde members, he could try and help them out of their pinch. On top of that, being in control of one of them, it would be a good evaluation on whether or not Zain believed they could complete the quest.

There was a chance he could lose the super zombies he had built up, but an army could always be rebuilt; he would just have to leave Skittle behind. His strength was great, but Zain still couldn't afford to lose him at this point and time.

Which was why, while him and Kun started to make way, he decided to do the same type of trick he had done before, taking control of Cobra this time instead of Skittle, perhaps the best suited super Zombie, and right now, in Cobra's body, Zain was standing in front of the gladiator.

"You… you are just like her." The gladiator said, sniffing the air. "Who are you with?"

"Who are we with?" Zain replied. "These guys are with me, and I won't let you take them away so easily!"

Not speaking anymore, Zain got to work, as he launched from his position and went straight for the gladiator's neck. The dagger hit cleanly but a ding sound was heard as he continued past him.

Quickly turning around, Zain slashed the dagger in a few more spots and the constant dings were heard before the gladiator swung its arms in frustration, hitting nothing.

[Dagger mastery is now level 2]

'At least that's something to be happy about, but just because my skill with the dagger increased, doesn't mean I'll be able to pierce his skin anytime soon. Unlike the titan, his whole skin is solid. Is this really a zombie? It feels more like a superhuman, or maybe they are closer to the body I am in now, like a superhuman zombie.'

"Zain, don't worry about him. I will keep him busy, help out the others and then we can try to take this thing down together!" Pink shouted.

Thinking about it, it wasn't a horrible suggestion. If Zain was to defeat the others, then there was a good chance that Cobra would level up and if he was to increase his strength or speed, it would be a way to end this whole thing.

Out of the entire group, looking at which ones would be the easiest to deal with, Zain decided to run as fast as he could towards the guitarist. Jam was growling heavily at him as the guitarist was getting ready to open its mouth.

Although the students were unsure who this belonged to, or where it had come from, due to it saving their life, they weren't quick to give up as they started to fire the guns once again.

The guitarist was hit in the shoulder, causing it to close its mouth and as it turned around it saw a knife heading straight for its shoulder.

The guitarist turned around giving its attention back to Dave and the other two, as it walked forward through, Cobra's body was seen coming in front of them and went to stab the zombie right in the head who managed to lift the guitar quickly, blocking its head.

"Do you want to hear my music?" The guitarist asked.

"No, I want you to die!" Zain replied, as he kicked the zombie in the stomach causing it to fall to the floor.

"Who is that?" Cube asked.

"I have no idea…" Dave replied.

Putting the guitar down, the zombie had its mouth open as he heard the answer and strange screams started to come out. The students ducked, and Zain ran to the side. As the zombie moved its head, the glass from the side streets was breaking by the second.

"I told you to shut up!" Zain shouted again, throwing the dagger as fast as he could and it landed right in the zombie's skull. It didn't seem to be dead yet, as the dagger hadn't pierced far enough, but it got the zombie to shut its mouth.

Using his super speed, Zain ran right over and threw the second dagger towards the body, then suddenly moved to the zombie's side. The second dagger being a distraction, Zain now was able to grab the first dagger and push it in as deep as possible.

The zombie was lifted by the head from the dagger and then slammed into the ground, no longer moving.

From the corner of his eye Brandon was looking at what was going on, it seemed like all the super zombies they were going against had noticed it, one of them had died, but the question was to who and what.

'Isn't that Cobra from the Cobra gang. I knew what he looked like because Ryan was scouting them, but then they were eliminated. Didn't Zain say he was the one that eliminated the gang… so what is he doing here?' Brandon thought.
