World Online

Chapter ?220 Zombies

"Forgive me, guild master! I didn't know! I thought it was the enemy!" The person who called out the enemy had a face filled with fear.

He was the reason their own leader was attacked! Surely, he was going to be ostracized, wasn't he?

But Jake just shook his head and laughed.

"You were doing your job. If you didn't do this, that would be cause for concern. All of you should be vigilant like this. We will never know where the enemy might attack from." Jake said.

He then walked past them all with a brisk pace to reach the front of the army, where he was supposed to stand.

Where he was supposed to be standing, Myriad Arrows had an erect posture, leading his side of the army at the right pace.

"He is going to be such an excellent acting chief when I am going to be busy." Jake smiled.

"I was right to poach him right from the hands of his own grandfather."

Myriad Arrows noticed what had happened and he looked at Jake with eyes that seemed to question what had happened.

Jake nodded back, and he slowly got to Myriad Arrows' position, who moved to give way to Jake.

"Well, I got the guy." Jake said with a long sigh.

"That's good, right? Or was there another? Do the enemies know we are here? That has to be a scout, right?" Myriad Arrows asked.

"All those questions. All good. And all of them aren't are biggest problem." Jake said.

"I got the scout. I am not sure if I missed one, but the one I saw, I got to. But the scout itself was a problem. He didn't die even after I killed him." Jake said with a solemn voice.

"What do you mean, he didn't die?" Kierch pitched in.

"I mean, when I killed the goddamn thing, it fell on the ground, and I got the experience. But I think it faked its death, and it was lying there, acting as if it was dead. It should have dissipated into nothingness, and it didn't do that."

"So I tried to stab it once again. When I did, it must have understood that I saw through the trick, and this time, it really died. The way I did it though, was go through the brain.

"That might mean that only if we can destroy the brains will the monster die." Jake said.

"Wow. They took the concept of a zombie and just rode with it, didn't they?" Kierch laughed.

"That might be the thing. As far as intel goes, the monsters here are all of different shapes and sizes, and they all have different abilities. But the one thing that they all have in common, is that they all look like zombies." Jake said.

There was not a hint of calmness left in him. He was reminded of the chaos that this brought to the world back then.

Who wanted to be reminded of the real and dangerous threat that they had back home? The online world was a way to evade it.

But Nova refused to make any updates. They never even acknowledged what had happened. There was not a single response to what had happened.

"To think that they would make something that was similar to the zombies of the real world. That is interesting, to say the least." Myriad Arrows mused.

"The important thing to take a note of, is that the zombies are way too difficult to get rid of in a single blow. Every single one of them will have to be cut through the head."

"I have to go tell the other guild masters. Maybe this was the reason that all the other guilds failed so spectacularly. When they saw all the corpses on the ground, they must have just left them there after taking the spoils. But leaving them there must have proven to be quite costly." Jake murmured.

"You should go tell them first. We will never know when you get another chance. The enemy might know that we are here already." Kierch reminded Jake.

"What do you mean? Shadow King already went and dealt with the scout that came here. We should have some leeway." Myriad Arrows said.

"That might not be the case. We might have dealt with our side, but we can never be so sure about the other, can we? The other edge is a capable guild, but it isn't us. So I am not so sure they have dealt with any scouts that the enemy has on that side." Kierch said.

"That is plausible. And even if it isn't, an enemy attack is always imminent. Scouts aren't the only way to tell the enemy that we are here." Jake said.

"The sound of the army approaching them can be heard almost a mile away. If they are a mile away, they will have heard us, and they will prepare for us. Either way, I am pretty sure we can rule out an ambush from us." Jake chuckled.

"But thank you for reminding me before I forget. I must tell the other guild leaders." Jake nodded at Kierch as he started walking laterally, completely disregarding protocol and the array that the army was following.

The guild leader that was to his left, Phoenix, noticed him coming toward her, and she frowned.

"What happened, Shadow King? You got tired and bored already? We have to stay vigilant. Who is going to lead your side now that their leader has come to the center?" She scowled.

"I have a few things I want to make sure come to your attention. The enemy will not die unless you completely smash the brains. Not just behead. The weapon will have to go through the brains." Jake said.

"I can't go all the way there. Get your subordinates to pass this on."
