Level up Zombie

Chapter 217 Active Meteorite

Originally Zain thought that if he just got close to the meteorite then the diamond quest would complete. Due to the difficulty of the quest, he thought that maybe an active meteorite would just be hard to come across.

After all, it seemed like the military were after them and the one that he had happened across, wasn't active at all. Yet, here he was, in front of it, and the quest had only just begun.

'The quest has just started, what does it mean? Is something going to happen?'

Zain was keeping an eye on the scene in front of him, as it was all starting to unfold. The equipment was buzzing, the sound of alarms and beeps coming from everything.

"Everyone, quickly, you know what to do!" General Begal shouted.

Those in hazmat suits were in a panic, they started to run from the glass cover and were exiting as quickly as they could. Meanwhile, the other soldiers had their guns pointed and aimed at the meteorite, but it wasn't just guns.

They soon started to bring out rocket propelled grenades and sniper rifles as well. It reminded him of when Zain had first come across the army, they had used a lot of fire power to try and get rid of a level 2 zombie.

'It's almost as if they're getting ready for war. If they're using this much fire power, and acting like this, then it means they know what's about to happen.'

"Zombie Hunters, and the special kid." Begal said, to make sure not to reveal the identity of Zain in case the others didn't know. "Stay back for now, this situation could turn ugly at any moment."

The meteorite was continuing to glow, as the craters on it were glowing brighter and the intervals between the glow were getting shorter. Now it seemed even more like a heartbeat as they could feel a thud each time through the vibrations on the floor.

"What on earth is inside that thing?" Wendy thought. In her whole time with the Zombie Hunters, she had never heard of anything like this. Like Zain, she had only come across deactivated meteorites.

Finally, the red pulsing had stopped, the vibrations on the floor had stopped, but not a single person had put down their weapons. Looking closely, a small crack could be seen, it was a hairline crack that quickly expanded into a large crack.

A piece of the meteorite fell onto the floor, and immediately the order was given.

"Fire!" Begal shouted.

Bullets rained down at the one area where the crack had appeared. The glass that surrounded it all had shattered. Shortly after, five different rockets left their launchers heading to the same location.

They exploded on the spot and the heat from the explosions could be felt by Dali and the others. Now smoke was covering the front of the meteorite and they were unable to see anything, but the bullets didn't stop.

When one group reloaded, another continued to fire. A loud bang would go off once in a while as a sniper bullet was sent out.

'They're using everything they have, what could possibly be coming out of that meteorite for them to use so much power. Is it a stage 3 Zombie, no it could even be a stage 4 for them to be this worried.'

Outside of the camp, the bullets and explosions were being heard from everywhere. Multiple different platoons were getting ready, gathering their weapons to go into combat.

"What's happening?" Ryan asked.

"There's no time to explain." The soldier opened up a crate which was full of weapons. They had been packing the weapons away for the Zombie Hunters in the first place, and now they were being given out to them.

"Just grab a weapon, listen to what I say, and let's just pray that those inside can take it out."

After grabbing their weapons, Ryan, Cody and the others quickly went to the large tent where the meteorite was being held. Vehicles were being used to create a miniature border on one side around the large tent.

"That noise, I'm sure of it, that's where Zain went. Something is going on, we need to go inside and help!"

From the sound of the voice, Cody felt like it was familiar, when turning his head, he could only see the Bomb squad in their uniforms and each one of them were arguing with each other.

'How… would they know Zain?' Cody thought.

There was something else that he found a little strange, for some reason, it looked like one of the bomb squad specialist was staring right at him. They were ignoring what was going on with their teammates and just looked at him unmoving like a statue.

'Cody… I'm so happy to see that you're still alive.' Kelly thought.

——

The bullets continued and those that were using the RPG's started to reload, but before they could, out from the smoke, a large brown tentacle had come out lightning fast. It slashed right through the body of one of the soldiers holding one of the RPG's.

His top half started to slide down and fall on the floor, as a fountain of blood came from his legs. Soon, not just one of these strange long tentacle-like limbs had come out from the smoke, there were a lot of them.

'This… I've seen it before.'

Zain was trying to figure out where he had seen something like this before, but what he was more concerned about was where the limbs, or who the limbs were aiming for. They had attacked and killed every single one of the soldiers who held the RPG's and it looked like they were going for those with the sniper rifles next.

Begal's whole hand was shaking with anger as he needed to decide the next move. The smoke from the intal RPG attack was starting to die down, and three figures could be seen, standing just in front of the meteorite.

"These damn Demons! We will get rid of them all!" Begal shouted.

[Diamond quest has begun]

[Eliminate 0/3 Demons]
