Level up Zombie

Chapter 71 Illegal Shop

Kelly's heart started beating faster as she saw Zain like this, mainly due to fear. When asking for help from him, she never thought that he would outright decide to kill that group just like that, but she soon remembered the file, his file that the Principle had shown her, and shivers ran down her body as she felt goosebumps.

Zain's blood boiled i anger, and he wanted to punish these people, however, there were multiple reasons why he had accepted the job. First, he liked Cody's nature and also owed him a favour. They needed to find other humans in the first place, and lastly, if there was anyone who deserved to have their brains taken out, then it was them.

Having decided what he would do, Zain shoved the sock back into Kelly's mouth and placed the tape back on. He heard muffled cries again as she was confused by Zain's sudden actions. She thought he would help her get out of this place, but he was instead planning to leave her behind.

? "Trust me. You're better off here." Zain explained. "You can't travel with me, and you will only slow me down. Sure, you could hide, but the zombies will come looking for you. I'll bring back Cody, or at least tell him where to find you.

"If it doesn't work out, then worst case, I'll come back later to give you some food and make sure you are alright. It will be a bit scary, but you'll survive. I will try my best."

Skittle and Zain soon exited the room, closing the door behind them and leaving Kelly in the same state she was earlier, although her emotional state was now much better, although it wasn't too good either.

'That damn Zain!' Kelly sighed. 'How could he leave me like this tied up? He could have just told me to stay inside, and I would have listened.'

After a while, Kelly calmed down and realised that at least he was doing something, and there was no point in her wasting any energy.

At the same time, Kun and Shark were walking around looking for any signs of humans. There were several different shops in Chinatown, and Kun enjoyed each of them as they went into them one by one. At the moment, the two of them were in a fancy dress shop in traditional Chinese clothing.

There was even a warrior's outfit, but Kun could immediately tell it was fake upon touching it. Something like this would only slow him down if he wore it.

"Can you not run around all excited so much?" Shark said. "Don't forget we're trying to be sneaky here, and unlike your friend, for the two of us, it's pretty hard to hide the fact that we're zombies."

Kun knew what Shark meant because almost at all times of the day, the two would wear a type of scarf around their face to hide their obvious bite marks and wounds. However, wearing the masks alone made them look untrustworthy, so it didn't really help much.

"Fine, but you need to lighten up a bit. I mean, what's the worst that could happen? Will we die? Well, surprise, we are already dead." Kun replied.

"Fine, but do me a favour, the new guy you brought in, keep an eye on him. He has a lot of information, and there is a good chance that he might be on the other side." Shark whispered, seeing the chance to bring up the topic he was recently pondering about.

"I doubt it. The guy is just as suspicious about you as you are of him. It's strange to say this, but I think he might actually be the lone wolf type.

"He's hiding something for sure, but it's not like a secret agent hiding, unlike you, and besides, from what you've heard, do you really think that someone from that group would be like him?" Kun asked as he leaned against the door of the back of the shop.

Shark looked to be in thought for a while, and he had to admit he didn't think so.

"You're right. In fact, he didn't even know about Demons that day. But if he's not with us, or with them, then who is this guy? Someone who fights like that and can take out a Titan on his own can't just be a normal high school student, right?"

"Maybe?" Kun shrugged and pressed his hand against the handle, only to find the door locked. "I mean, maybe he's just a natural, or someone good at fighting and practised for all this stuff, or he's just crazy.

"For anyone to have survived in this world, we all need to be a little crazy, right?"

Shoving the door as hard as he could, the latch broke, and the door swung wide open. Stepping into the room, Kun expected to see more clothes or stock of clothes. But upon pressing the light switch, his eyes lit up as he saw everything on the wall.

"Hey Shark, I think you better get in here." Kun suddenly called out as a smile formed on his face. The scene in front of him was the last he would think of coming across when going through a cloth shop.

"Why would I care about useless clothes?" Shark grumbled but decided to follow him anyway because he knew otherwise Kun would never leave the shop.

Stepping into the room, Shark also stopped by the door as he was amazed at everything in front of him.

"This...has to be illegal." He mumbled as he stared at the wall filled with weapons. They were all put out on display. From spears, swords, and katana blades to everything was there, and these didn't look like replicas or fakes either.
