Chapter 207 A Fresh Start

The man who had let Kelly in was standing by the door, then there were the two dressed in SWAT-like uniforms standing by the side of the woman in the lab coat. It was intimidating to say the least, and it was clear, there was no way of trying to get out of this room, not unless she wanted to fight her way out.

'I wonder how all of these compare to Zain. The other's we met, like the chained zombies, were a lot stronger than him. Maybe, it's the same here, and I don't think I could beat Zain in a fight, even with my new strength.' Kelly thought.

"Please, relax a little." The blonde woman in the lab coat said. "This is just a procedure we do with all of our guests. As you would expect, we have some secrets that we can't exactly let out."

The woman was smiling, it was a warm smile, and for some reason, even though Kelly didn't know this person, she wanted to trust her, wanted to pour everything out.

"From what I've heard, your friend was the one that told you about this place, Correct? Do you mind describing him to me?"

Kelly gulped before answering, she thought the subject of speaking about Zain at least to others was taboo, but in a place like this, where they were those like him, it should be fine, right? At least that's what she thought.

"He had red hair, and was a university student. There was a bite mark on his neck, he was fast and strong as well. He was also like you, I mean not like you, but like the others in the room." Kelly nervously answered.

"Oh, so you can tell." The woman replied. "According to my friends here, they say that you are not like us. I'm sure you might have guessed it by now, but this facility is for people like my friend, not for people like you and I."

Kelly wanted to snap back, and ask why she was here then, and it also confirmed her suspicions that the one in front of her was a human. However, she kept her head held down. The fact was, based on how the first man listened to her radio call, it meant she was some type of big shot in this place.

"My friend." Kelly answered. "He said you could help us, you can help people like us. Even though I'm not the same. I'm not human. I can get bit, and I don't turn into one of you guys. I have fast healing, super strength and speed as well. I… don't know what's happening to me."

The blonde researcher sat back in her seat for a while, and then leant forward once again.

"Are you aware that from all of this chaos, there have been superhumans that have risen up, a new generation of humans as some people would say."

Kelly nodded, she had seen a few things, Cobra with his superspeed, and the doctor who was obsessed in trying to create a superhuman. Is that what she was?

"I have… but there is one other thing. Zombies… they don't attack me."

The researcher looked over to the man that was standing by the door, as if looking for an answer.

"It's true." The man replied. "She doesn't smell like a human, but she doesn't smell like a zombie either."

This was a first case of its kind, as superhumans still attracted zombies, and with that last bit of information. The researcher had made her decision.

"First, I think I should introduce myself. My name is Sarah Bain, and I am in charge of running the Reborn group." The researcher stated. "Based on what you have told me so far, I want to give you a couple options.

"You are free to join the Reborn group, once you do, you will follow the rules of the base. Riley, the young gentlemen, will be the one that will guide you in that aspect. Of course, if you do decide to join, I will do my very best to help answer your questions that you are looking for, but I can't promise anything.

"And of course you always have the other option of leaving this place, we won't stop you, but just ask that you don't spread the name of this place, unnecessarily."

Once again, the words of Sarah were what was drawing her in. Since she hadn't seen deeper into the facility, it could be a cruel place that would run experiments on her, just like the last doctor she had met.

Due to that, Kelly had a hard time trusting people, but she wanted to trust Sarah, more so, she needed to trust her, and felt like right now, she was the only person who could help.

"I would… like to join the Reborn group." Kelly finally answered.

At that time, Sarah placed her hand out, for a hand shake.

"Welcome to the Reborn group."

Kelly took it and the two of them shook hands, something she felt like she would never do again after someone knew the real her, yet here she was.

Riley and Kelly were left alone, while Sarah went off somewhere. Just as stated, Riley would give her a tour of the place, while explaining the rules and the two of them were walking down the bland hallways once again.

"Everyone in the Reborn group is assigned a leader, and that leader at times is assigned different tasks. If you ever want to leave this place, then you need to speak to your leader. There are all sorts of different tasks around here that you will get to learn, once you stay with us for a while.

"Some might ask you to stay on the outside for a certain amount of time. When this happens, we actually ask for volunteers and Sarah or the leader in charge of the task will select who they think is best.

"Other than that, there will be a daily schedule for you to follow as well." Riley explained.

It was a lot for Kelly to take in, especially when she had no context of the situation, but soon she understood, as a door slid up and she entered and there was an incredibly large open space where she could see them all.

It was a large facility filled with a number of different things, books, weapons on the wall, rooms upon rooms of entertainment and training areas as well, but most importantly it was filled with people, those that were like Riley, the Reborn zombies.

If Kelly was to take a quick guess she would have assumed there were at least fifty or so of them inside.

"For now, just try to mingle with the others, everyone has a cool story on how they got bit or changed, and they're quite open to talk about it. After that I will assign you to a leader and they will go through the rest with you."

Scanning around the room, some of the Reborn looked quite frightening to approach, but if her eyes weren't deceiving her, she was sure that she could see someone she recognized, not just someone, but a couple.

"Pink… Kun?"
