Chapter 203 A Plan Or No Plan

Name:Level up Zombie Author:
After seeing the soldiers in front of them, Kelly's initial reaction was to turn around, and that's exactly what she did, but she soon stopped as she realised something. There were more soldiers that were standing behind them.

'Were they hiding behind the barrier of cars?' Kelly thought.

It seemed to be the case, from the other side of the barrier all they could see was a gap, but the soldiers didn't reveal themselves. If they were to attempt to head back the other way now, it was clear that they would be suspicious to say the least.

"Let's just stay looking in this direction for now." Zain said, as he bent down and pretended to tie his shoe lace. There were quite a few others that seemed to be startled by the sight of the soldiers and weren't heading forward, so they were safe to think for a bit… for now.

Looking around him, Zain was looking at his options. Every single one of them had automatic rifles. On top of that, they had even more equipment on the back of the trucks near the self made border.

'All of these are trained on how to use weapons, as well. I can see one way of surviving, and that's rushing back, and getting back in the car, to head back to the school. Or maybe I could head to another territory like the Zombie Hunters.

'I doubt these groups will be so welcoming to the military after everything has happened, but that's incredibly risky with how many there are, and who knows how many units they have in the city.'

Zain soon stood up, and Kelly was right behind him, wondering what he was going to do.

"So what's the plan?" Kelly asked.

After a few seconds of thinking Zain had his answer, it was the only thing that he could think of that would solve a few other questions that he had.

"I'm going to find out what they're looking for." Zain asked, as he started to walk.

Kelly quickly pulled up her hood that she was wearing and looked around, as she got close into Zain.

"What do you mean by that, what are we going to do, are you planning to fight? I know we both can heal, but I don't think we can heal from a few hundred bullets inside of us." Kelly stated.

The reason why Kelly was worried was because Zain was walking forward rather than backwards. She too felt like they had a chance if they just got back in their car and rushed their way back.

With the border up, they might not even chase them, but instead he was walking forward, to the area where there were more soldiers.

"There is a big difference between me and you." Zain said. "You will head on first, they will check you and let you through the border with no problems. There are no bite marks on your body. From a visual inspection, you show no signs of being a zombie. Even if you are bit, you can heal the bite mark on your body, but for me it's different."

Zain pulled on his shirt, showing a bite mark that was around his neck.

"It was the first bite, those that call themselves the Reborn all have it. The bite marks we received before turning. Now I need you to listen to me carefully."

Kelly was expecting Zain to start to talk about a master plan he had, but instead he was just giving her a set of directions. Directions beyond the city they were in, and they weren't precise either, just a general idea of where to go.

'Why is he telling me all of this?' Kelly thought, confused but soon Zain gave her a little nudge. Indicating that she was to go through first.

Kelly was queued up in one of the lines for inspection and as she turned her head she could see Zain was standing there waiting.

'Is he trying to see if I'll get caught or not? He's using me as a tester?' Kelly thought and was a little annoyed by this. If she did get caught, she then would have to rely on Zain to come help her, or her own strength and she wasn't so sure based on who Zain was, whether or not he would help.

The que was moving slowly, but people were getting through and were allowed to walk to the other side, a little away from all the military vehicles. It looked like they had almost prepared cars for everyone to use if they wished, that were working. They were placed out in the field, one by one, and were even giving out keys.

It was strange, even Kelly was finding it hard to figure out what the military's goal was. Apart from the fact that they were looking for something in the city and whatever it was, they wanted to keep it inside.

Eventually it was Kelly's turn.

There was a makeshift curtain that was drawn, blocking the view from the others in the line.

The soldier used a torch and shined it in Kelly's eyes, looking at each one of them. He then proceeded to check the rest of her face and used a machine to take her body temperature as well.

"Alright take off all your clothes." The soldier asked.

Kelly's face went a little red but she understood why and did as asked, after an inspection, and with no bite marks present, the man shouted one word.

"Pass!" The soldier said. "Put on your clothes and take only one of the keys from the basket. If you wish to return to the city, you will need to go through the same check again. Don't get bit."

Going through the border Kelly couldn't believe it. She knew she wasn't like them, she wasn't a normal human, and yet she had passed all their checks.

'Does that mean…'

However, Kelly's happiness was short-lived as she could see Zain on the other side, he gave her a thumbs up, and there was a smile on his face. He had expected this result, and now it was his turn to stay in the que.

He waited his turn, one person after another, and Kelly was carefully watching.

"Hey, move along and get in a car, don't block the way!" a soldier shouted.

"I know, I know, just two seconds, I'm waiting for someone!" Kelly snapped back.

Finally it was Zain's turn and the curtain was drawn. The soldier grabbed his flashlight but before he reached Zain, Zain spoke first.

"I'm telling you now, I'm going to fail every single one of your tests." Zain said. "So rather than you getting scared and shooting me on the spot, let's just call out your sergeant or general, or whoever is in charge okay?" Zain smiled.
