Level up Zombie

Chapter 211 A Tough Choice

Kelly had gone into detail about what had occured between her and Zain, during their travels. How she had met up with him, what skills she saw and what he was planning, and in the end how he had managed to get captured.

At first, both Pink and Kun were frustrated and it almost felt like they were about to take out their frustrations on her, but they soon realised that it wasn't her fault, and in the end she had only done what Zain had asked of her.

Still, they failed to understand why had Zain done what he had done, why had he let himself go so easily. It was safe to say regardless, the two of them wanted to go outside and attempt to save him, but they had no information at all.

Where would Zain be, where was he taken, or anything of the sort. The only thing they had was to go back to where Zain was last seen. On top of that, they needed permission if they wanted to leave this area in the first place.

So in the meantime they were unable to do anything. For Kelly, she had entered a few practical lessons, and the main instructor seemed to be glancing Kelly's way. She wasn't too sure if this was due to her being the new student or not.

The instructor's name was X. It seemed like a nickname as he had an X shaped mark on his forehead that appeared to be there from before he had been bitten, otherwise the wound would have healed.

As for the reason why Instructor X was looking at her, it was because of the sound of her fists as she hit the air, the movement of her kicks and more, it was safe to say he was impressed.

'Her speed, and the snap in her attacks. Although her form is off, and it looks like she's never been in a fight in her life, if they are tuned up, it's quite possible that she could become one of the strongest ones in here.' X thought.

In a way, Kelly felt quite guilty about her life at the moment, because she was in a safe place and she was living stress free, while Zain was still out there.

When the third day had arrived, after having stayed at the Reborn group for three whole days, the young Reborn zombie who she had first met, named Sid, had called her away and the others could see them leaving the Reborn area.

They walked through labs and more, and Kelly was too nervous to ask what was going on, as she just assumed that Sarah, the leader of the place, had called her to run a few experiments on her, as she had yet to do so since arriving.

Soon, she did find herself entering a lab as Sid held the door open for her, but the sight she could see was not what she was expecting at all.

On a high desk, where usually bunsen burners and flasks would be placed, it had been cleared out with only a few stools, and on those stools, Sarah, Kun, Pink, and Instructor X were sitting down.

'What is going on? Why are Pink and Kun here as well? It's strange to bring them to run some tests on me.'

"You must be slightly confused, but I have had to call an emergency meeting to discuss something with you three." Sarah stated. "Please, it would be best if you sit down."

There were nervous darting eyes, and it seemed like Pink and Kun didn't know the reason why the three of them were called either.

"Our network of the Reborn group is larger than you think. Kun should know this." Sarah started to explain. "Although this facility is strictly for the Reborn zombies, at times there are humans that will come and go from this facility.

"At the same time, we have tried our best to create a network that is spread far and wide. Now that you know this, I will cut to the chase.

"All three of you have described a particular Reborn zombie that showed extraordinary skills with red hair, and it appears the military has captured him."

The news wasn't so shocking to the others as they had talked about it already, but what was surprising was the fact that Sarah knew about this information. Based on what she said earlier, it was clear they knew where Zain currently was.

"Unfortunately, the zombie you have described is not someone that is in our file or has ever been to the Reborn group before, and as you know, to go against the military, even if its a single base, would require the might of all our power, but I thought that you should at least know this."

For all of them, it felt like they were being teased, a ray of hope was shone in front of them and immediately it was taken away. It would have been better if they knew nothing at all, and in the end Kun couldn't hold it in anymore.

"We have to go rescue him." Kun said. "The whole reason we agreed to come to this base was because we thought he was here."

"I agree!" Pink said, and Kelly nodded soon after.

"I know you would have strong feelings, but the rules were explained to you before. Although I would like to save your friend and invite him back here, we have more to lose than gain in this situation."

Hearing those words, Kun stood up from his seat.

"I don't think that's the case." Kun explained. "Zain had quickly overtaken Shark, one of our best agents, in terms of smarts, strength, and knowledge. It seemed he even knew things that Shark didn't."

This seemed to cause a slight reaction from Sarah, as she opened her eyes slightly wider.

"He… was also the one that told us about the crystals. He had told us about how to use the crystals to make us stronger before we had come across the Reborn group."

Now Sarah was really interested as she put her finger on her lips.

This was knowledge that she didn't know about either, until later on, so how would a zombie she had never met before know about this? There had to be a reason, and there was something that was peaking her interest about this zombie that had met with all three.

"I see, I can see how strongly you three feel about this person, they must be truly great for you to act like this." Sarah sighed in defeat. "It seems even if I forced you to stay that you would attempt to leave anyway, and that in itself is a risk, so I guess there could be another solution.

Sarah looked to Sid, and looked to instructor X as well.

"A small group of five, with two talented individuals, are to attempt to bring him back. It's a hard first mission for you three, so I don't expect any results and your survival is the most important.

"Instructor X will be in charge, and if he deems the mission impossible, you are to return immediately."
