Level up Zombie

Chapter 267 Patience Is Hard

?

At first, Zain didn't know what the Dark Zombies were, but having spent time with the Reborn organisation and with Sarah, he had quickly learned about the group. Before joining the Reborn group, Zain had a run-in with them before.

A strange old man seemed to be controlling the Chained Zombies that, at the time, Zain was unable to defeat. After that event, he had travelled solo, trying to do everything he could to grow stronger, just in case he ran into them again.

The thing was, he never did run into them again, yet he had heard of others encountering the Dark Zombies. One of the rules of the Reborn group was not to engage with those who called themselves Dark Zombies and to run away.

As for why, Sarah never really explained. Other than the few details she had told him personally, he had his own guesses… that they were a group of strong Reborn Zombies, much stronger than the Reborn group. Even Sarah knew this, which is why she told everyone to run away.

"If I remember correctly, the Dark Zombies are being run by Sarah's husband, Humphrey Bain. The two of them worked on this whole thing together, but the Reborn Zombies have decided to take another path or something."

Zain's first impression of the Dark Zombies wasn't a good one since they had killed his allies on sight without much discussion, but he still wondered why he hadn't been killed that day.

"In this facility, why am I running into those who spared my life recently?" Zain thought.

Looking at Dart, Zain started to see him in a different light, and now a question had popped into his head.

"Are you part of the Dark Zombies?" Zain asked.

"Oh?" Dart raised an eyebrow. "You don't ask me what or who the Dark Zombies are, but instead ask if I'm part of them. You are an interesting one. I never thought I would see someone who knew about us, yet I know nothing about them."

Kissing his teeth, Zain was a little annoyed at himself for letting that slip, but there was nothing he could do about it now.

"I was part of the Reborn group, so we heard about you but were told to just stay away," Zain answered.

"Oh, that group! I guess you might have heard a few bad things about us then! No wonder you reacted like that. But don't worry, it's normal for one side to bash the other. We're all competing for the same Reborn Zombies, after all."

Zain had to admit he had only heard one side of the story, and he had eventually found out that Sarah wasn't one to trust either, so how could he trust anything she said?

"Anyway, I wasn't asking you to join us, even though that would be a big plus," Dart continued. "I just didn't want to see a fellow Reborn Zombie, as you guys call it, get killed. Not when things are soon to be set in motion. As I said before, just be a little patient before using everything you have to break out."

With that said, Dart started to walk off with a hop in his step. Regardless of whether the Dark Zombies were good or bad, there was one thing Zain was sure of… Dart had confidence in them to deal with the situation.

"A group of around two hundred Zombie Hunters. That's a force probably bigger than what we could deal with, or even the Reborn group. Are the Dark Zombies that strong, or are they that large in number?"

Since the Reborn Zombies didn't sleep, a lot of time would pass. With this in mind, Zain decided to check his system, examining the others, his stats, and so on. Even as the days passed, he continued to gain experience due to all the territories he owned, allowing him to grow stronger with each passing day. A couple of days had gone by, Zain knew this because of the system, and the hunters brought food as usual. The sound of them releasing other groups could be heard, but not their group.

Eventually, a third day passed, and Zain had levelled up due to the ongoing experience he had earned.

Level 32

Strength: 20

Agility: 16

Intelligence: 30

Endurance: 10

He decided to allocate a stat point into his strength, as it was the closest to a round number. He used these benchmarks for all his other skills, and in the grand scheme of things, an extra point in agility wouldn't make much of a difference at the moment.

"This is taking a lot longer than I thought. I thought we might have to fight every day, but it seems they're taking groups out one by one. I have to be much more patient than I originally thought," Zain pondered.

For a moment, he wondered if he should enter the Weapons Carnival. He could return there and continue from where he left off. He had been waiting to become stronger to attempt as many waves as possible, but there was one problem. If he entered, how long would he stay there? What if they came to get him at that very moment? It was too much of a risk, so he dismissed the idea. It turned out to be a good decision because the sound of footsteps could be heard once again, and this time they stopped just outside the cell.

"Alright, all of you, get ready to leave the cell and prepare for a fight!" the Zombie Hunter stated.

"All of us are taking part in this one... that includes Dart. I guess I'll finally be able to see the skill levels of the Dark Zombies after all. Let's see how strong they are."
