Zain had healed his broken leg by consuming quite a bit of energy and was now up on his feet.
[Energy: 64/100]
However, the bigger problem was his body functionality, which had now dropped to 86 percent. As ti passed, his movents were getting slower and weaker, and overall, he felt his body beco less responsive. Yet, the situations the group was in were getting more dangerous by the second.
When Zain appeared, instead of targeting the humans, the Spitter Zombie turned around and focused on him. Then, it opened its mouth, vibrating all its teeth, creating a strange shriek sound.
It wasn't quite trying to let out a cry or a loud shout, but it was as if he was trying to speak. At that mont, Zain noticed that the Boil zombies, about the six of them who were still alive, also turned toward him and ran at Zain.
'So that's the Stage Two Zombie that the system warned about. Well, at least my presence has aggroed his attention to ,' Zain thought.
The Boil zombies were fast. They weren't at the mutated zombie's level but were just as fast as a newly turned zombie.
Seeing the incoming zombies, Zain took out two mops from his back that he had turned into sharp spears. He gripped them tightly as he shoved the first one right through a zombie's head. But the zombie kept moving forward, which was weird, however, Zain didn't stop there.
With his newfound strength, he quickly lifted the tal pole with the zombie's head on top of it and swung it, crashing the pole and his body into the other zombies, sending them off to the side.
"You have to get rid of the boil marks!" Skittle's sudden shout entered his ears.
Hearing this, when the next Boil zombie ca towards Zain, he whacked away its lingering arm dangling towards him and stabbed the boil right by the zombie's hip.
[You have successfully eliminated a Controlled zombie]
[ 2EXP]
'Only two exp, for killing sothing like that…but I guess I can't complain. At least killing them doesn't lower my exp.'
Now ard with more information, Zain was going in toward the boil zombies more confidently. He grabbed one of them by its head, not worried if he was to be a bit or not, and stabbed the pole through the top of the head where he had noticed a boil.
Quickly another approached from behind, and Zain whacked it a couple of tis on its leg before hitting it across the head, sending it to the floor. But before Zain could finish that one off on the floor, another ca and bit him on the arm.
Fortunately, its teeth couldn't chew through his thick clothing, but it wouldn't have mattered anyway. It just gave Zain a sitting target, sothing easy to beat. Dealing with two more and the others, he had quickly gotten rid of the six boil zombies.
[ 10 Exp]
'I knew he was strong from the video we saw…but he was really able to deal with them quickly and calmly. How can a student be like this?' Kelly thought, watching things play out. The others were too busy to notice, they had their own set of problems.
Although the zombies they faced weren't fast, they were high in number, and pulling off an attack that could pierce their skull or kill them in one go was quite difficult. Only Buke was having an easy ti.
"Argh!" Buke shouted, slamming a frying pan on top of a zombie's head so hard that its head got mushed into its ribcage, killing it instantly. "Look, we're doing fine for now, but even soone like will tire out eventually. We need a plan to get out of this place. Zain will deal with that thing, but all of these, not even Zain will be able to take these guys out."
"The back," Kelly answered. "In the back, there is a lorry which was used to move and deliver things. We can use that Lorry to get out of here, but there is one problem. The door to the outside where the Lorry is is locked by a chain. You should be strong enough to break the chain, right?" Kelly asked, looking at Buke.
It didn't sound like a bad idea. Although using a large vehicle like that would make a lot of noise and attract attention, they had already done that. At least with a vehicle, they could outrun these guys and get to a safer location than they are now.
"Alright, we will run towards the back door once Zain is done with that dangerous one. I'll break the door, and you guys drive, got it?!" Buke instructed.
Everyone nodded, but the teenager, Cody, did sothing strange at that mont. He charged forward from the circle the group was in and broke out of it. Soon, he used his agility to run through the zombie horde, not letting them take a single hit.
Then when reaching the aisles, he used one of the shelves as a base to push his body up and instantly got on top of the aisle. Then, without wasting any ti, he ran across the top of them.
"Where is he going?" Kelly asked.
"I don't know. Maybe he didn't like the plan or sothing?" Skittle replied.
In the first place, a particular zombie was in their way of getting out of this store, and it was the most dangerous one. So it was all up to Zain now. With the two spear-like objects, Zain charged forward toward the Spitter.
The latter's body lit up and spat out red coloured substance. Although Zain didn't know what the red liquid could do, he was smart enough to avoid it, and then, moving to the side, he continued forward. When he was within range, he swung one of the poles and hit the Spitter on the side of its head. The attack was successful, unlike Buke's wild bat swings.
It had sowhat been heavy as well, and it looked like even the zombie was surprised by this, but so was Zain.
'I hit that thing with a full swing. It would have snapped a zombie's neck off, but this one is completely fine.' Zain thought, swinging his other hand, attempting to hit it from the other side of its head
Before it reached its head though, the Spitter lifted its arm, and on impact, the pole had snapped. The Spitter then leapt towards Zain with its mouth, and just like Buke, Zain shoved the spear directly into its mouth, assuming it might be a weak spot for the enemy.
The spear was quickly disappearing like the Spitter's mouth was so type of black hole, and much to his disappointnt, the attack didn't do any damage either.
With his other hand free, Zain continued to whack the Spitter on its neck, and he had done so three tis until, with a swing of its own arms, the Spitter hit Zain and sent him in the air skidding across the floor.
Zain wasn't hurt and quickly got back up, although he was surprised by its strength.
'I didn't break any bones, but it really does have power.'
"Zain!" A familiar shout suddenly attracted his attention.
Turning his head, Zain saw the hooded teenager running across the top of one of the aisles. The zombies from below tried to reach up, but Cody ran too fast for them to react.
"Catch!" Cody shouted as he pulled off a strap bag one would put around their chest. It hurled in the air, and that's when Zain understood why
He easily caught the bag with one hand. It was already torn and not really used as a back to Cary things but sothing else. He understood why Cody had run off to the back. In the bag were the two familiar shear blades he had with him before Clark took them away.
"Let's try this again," Zain said while holding onto one blade in each hand.
