Chapter 216 Starting A Quest

Inside their large suits, Pink and the others had also spotted Zain, but only for a few moments before he was escorted into a fairly large tent that almost looked like a circus from the outside. It was so big.

It was designed in a way to stop outsiders from looking at what was inside.

"Did you see… we finally found him, he really was here?" Pink said, shaking her friend. "Kun… did you see that."

"I'm not Kun… you're shaking me, Sid!" The other complained.

"Oh… sorry." Pink replied, as she quickly stopped.

Since the suits also had an entire face helmet that would cover them. It was hard to tell who was who from just a glance.

"It looks like they have guards on him at all times, and there are a lot of military personnel around." Mr X started to explain. "I'll be honest, it will be hard to break him out of here. When coming, I was hoping that the military might be on an expedition and there would be less people.

"Or the other option was if your friend was stuck in his cell. If that was the case, then we perhaps could have broken him out, but if he's like this… then there isn't much we can do."

The others never expected the Reborn group to take a big risk. Honestly, they thought just coming to a military base was a big risk in itself, but after coming all this way, and seeing the person in front of them, the one that had saved their lives, they wanted to do something.

"Can we… just wait and see for a while?" Kelly asked. "Maybe something will happen, and most of the military will have to leave the place."

"Are you serious?" Sid replied. "We have a lot of work to do as it is… we already listened to your request and if it wasn't for Sarah being interested in this person, we would have never-"

X raised his hand, ordering Sid to stop speaking. His raised voice would attract attention in this situation.

"A day… is the most I can give. We will keep an eye on your friend Zain and see if there are any opportunities, but it has to be one that doesn't put a single one of us at risk. Even if we were to save your friend, if two of us were caught in the process then it wouldn't be a good deal, would it."

They understood when X phrased it like that, but in the others' heads Zain was worth a lot more than just the two of them.

Entering the tent, Zain could see that the military had quite the operation going on. The meteorite was about as big as a house and there were countless different machines which had already been attached to it.

There were workers in Hazmat suits that got close to it, and a type of plastic sealant that had been placed around the meteorite to separate those that were working inside with the meteorite and those working outside of it.

Unlike the one that Zain had seen, this one, from within the small creators on it a red glow could be seen getting brighter then sinking in, as if it was alive, as if it was breathing.

'Damn it… I'm this close to it… and still the quest hasn't been completed. Judging by how careful they are being, I don't think they'll just let me inside. Maybe I can come up with an excuse.'

Zain, along with his escorts waited for a while, standing on a metal flooring that was placed around the entire meteorite along with countless numbers of terminals, and eventually the one they were waiting for had arrived, Begal, but as he didn't do so on his own. There was the normal squad that would go everywhere with Begal to protect him, but there were also the Zombie Hunters.

'That woman… she's the one that let me and Skittle go that time!!!' Zain was thinking of the scenarios going through his head. In a place like this, he never thought he would recognise someone, yet here he had, but he soon started to calm down.

The military already knew what Zain was, so the fact that she did, didn't make a difference. If anything, to her fellow Zombie Hunters, it might hurt her more if they did find out what he was.

"Zain!" A person called out. "Is it really you… It is… I thought I recognized you."

The person who was calling out to him was none other than Dali. Since Zain had been paying attention to Wendy, he had failed to notice Dali and Nit who were with them. For a second Wendy glanced at them, looking back and forth, wondering whether they knew who this person was, and even the general found the turn of events quite interesting.

'Zombie Hunters know this kid… things are certainly very interesting.' Begal thought.

"It's good to see that you made it to the Zombie Hunters in the end, and I told you there were some nice people in the group." Zain pushed his luck as he gave a little wink to Wendy, because when he commented that, she was just the person he was thinking about.

"Anyway, so what is this thing, why is the military going around trying to gather these meteorites?" Wendy asked, almost sounding annoyed.

"So you really don't know, well we have a theory you see about these meteorites." Begal explained.

"That the virus came from them?" Nit interrupted. "A lot of people think that since the meteorites were the same day the wave of attacks happened."

The thing was Zain knew this wasn't true, because the Reborn group were already hiding the fact there were zombies and there were reports of them on the Dark web.

"No… it's something else." Begal said, but he was soon interrupted by a cracking noise, several of the machine's beepers were starting to go off, and something happened to Zain as well.
