"It's okay." Zain replied. "I'm already the main enemy of you Zombie Hunters anyway."
The others were too far away to hear these words, and Crunk who had heard them, didn't understand the aning behind them and was far too scared for his life to be thinking about those things.
His only life line, his powers which were in his fingers, he was unable to use and he had no idea how to use his powers any other way.
With a swing of the sword, Zain stopped just after cutting the skin from his throat. The surface had been cut and blood was trickling down. However, the eyes of Crunk were gone.
He was feeling lightheaded and suddenly fell over backwards as he had passed out at that mont.
'Oh?' Zain thought. 'I was never going to kill him in the first place, as I wanted to turn him, but I guess this works as well.'
Zain then turned to the others and it appeared his plan had worked. Defeating what was most likely their strongest mber in a blink of an eye in front of them, would make them all feel powerless. This feeling that they had right now though, would soon disappear so Zain had to act fast.
Stepping forward, Zain was ready to run over to the others, but it looked like one of them had acted fast.
"Everyone grab on!" One of the youngest mbers said, and the others seed to listen as they grabbed their packs and held onto whatever part of the mber they could. They grabbed his arms, legs, chest and more.
With a blink, the next second they were all gone and they had disappeared just like that. Zain couldn't even use his sense of sll to sll them anymore.
"So they left, it must be so type of teleportation power." Zain looked down, as Crunk was still passed out on the floor. "It looks like they need to all touch him to teleport though. All the powers I've seen so far have so type of limitation. Guess they had no choice but to leave you behind.
"But based on what I just saw your friends do, I doubt that they will be searching for . They didn't even stay behind to attempt to save you. What a naive person."
It was then that the rest of the Wild Bones ca running out from behind the car they were hiding behind. They had waited a little bit after seeing the Zombie Hunters disappear thinking that they might be coming back, but quickly realised that they had to have run away.
"Zain you were so cool!" Wiz shouted, as he was the first to approach, and the little kid couldn't help but look at the hand that was on the floor. Of course, the kid, after surviving for as long as he had done, had seen a lot worse than this.
"Zain, thank you for fighting for us." Dali finally said. "I never imagined that of all the people from the Zombie Hunters, we would run into soone like him."
The real question on everyone's mind though, was what did they do now? The other Zombie Hunters had seen their faces, and their first impression of the group they were seeking out didn't give them a good impression.
"Our journey, it ends here." Zain said, as he stood up and put Crunk's body over his shoulder. "The Zombie's Hunters' base is not far from here and there is a chance I could run into more of them.
"After this they will be after , not you. Not all of the Zombie Hunters you have t will be like this guy."
Zain was speaking from experience as he rembered the sa woman he had t from before.
"I'm sure that if you explain to them what happened, they would understand your situation. You guys are talented and they will need people like you. They won't just be a group of ability users, they will need regular people to do other tasks as well, and you guys are a good group.
"You don't have to join them, but I was just giving you my opinion on what would be best for your survival, for you, your friends and your brother."
Without letting them reply, Zain was already walking off with Crunk's body and everyone was left looking at the back of Zain. It was a strange feeling for them all, as they felt like they had just lost a leader looking at this.
"Do we have to go with the Zombie Hunters, why can't we keep travelling with Zain?" Wiz asked.
"I would have liked that as well." Dali stated. "But I think he's just different from us, and we would only slow soone as great as him down. Maybe one day, we'll be able to help him."
"I think your right Dali." Nit said with a big smile. "Zain gave us options and not one of them was to travel with him. In the future, we will have to make him consider it as an option. We will pay him back."
——
When Zain was finally a good distance away from the others, he entered an alleyway and placed Crunk down. He was still bleeding from his wound. It was no wonder he hadn't woken up, and if Zain didn't turn him soon, Crunk would lose his life.
"I wanted to turn a few of the others as well. It's a sha that they ran away. Oh well, I hope you can use your ability without your hands, or at least grow them back." Zain thought as he went to open his mouth and deliver a bite.
Superhumans were more resistant to the virus, so there was a chance that he wouldn't turn, but he had to try.
As Zain opened his mouth to bite down, a pain in the back of his head started.
'No… not now.' Zain thought.
His vision started to go blurry, and his whole body was going weak, as he fell to the ground, passing out himself.
