Chapter 225 Back To Normal?

For a second, Zain thought he might be acting a bit rash. This wasn't like him, to make a decision on a whim, to not make the best choice possible without all of the information first. Sure, he had seen signs that improved intelligence in his Horde meant they could understand more instructions, but there was no proof.

There was no proof that if their intelligence increased to a certain level, that they would be back to the way they were or that they would become a Reborn. In the first place, Zain's intelligence wasn't even that high, yet he could do these things.

For some reason though, when it came to a decision including Skittle, for a lot of those decisions, he would disregard his more thinking side and just did what he really wanted to do.

"Zain… Zain… Zain…" Skittle said back, opening his mouth. His hand slowly moved towards his lips and his own small arms were shaking. "Zain… I can speak… I can speak."

It was a large relief for Zain at that moment, but the feelings that he had expected weren't coming out. He imagined at this point and time he would have cried, it almost felt like he was crying yet his body wasn't reacting… doing nothing.

It was bringing the reality of the situation that his zombie self had changed him quite a bit.

"I can't believe it, it actually worked, you can speak right, do you remember everything that happened, everything that happened before?" Zain asked.

The others that were leading the way in the dark tunnel weren't so sure what was going on, but Pink and Kun gestured for the two not to get involved. Both Pink and Kun had seen the small zombie always by his side.

They knew that it was a mindless zombie, not able to do anything, but Zain always had a strong reaction when something occurred that was related to him. It was amazing to them as well, seeing this, seeing a zombie become like them. It gave them a sense of hope.

"I remember everything, Zain." Skittle answered. "I remember how we first met, I remember everything that happened at the Supermarket with Buke, and I can remember everything that happened while I was a zombie."

This came as a surprise to Zain, during the time together, he was unsure if he would know what the two had gone through, but it made it easier, it meant he didn't have to explain as much.

"You still are a zombie." Zain joked. "Just a clever one now."

"What did you do?" Skittle asked. "How did you fix me?"

Hearing this question it was clear that although Skittle could remember everything they had been through together, he had no clue about the system and the rewards that it would give. The thing was Zain couldn't really explain it himself, it looked like none of the Reborn had the same thing.

"I'm not exactly sure… but I'm hoping I can find it with where we're going." Zain answered.

X and Sid were getting annoyed, and Zain could somewhat see this, besides now that Skittle could communicate, it just opened more questions for him. He wanted to head to the Reborn base as soon as possible himself.

While they walked, Skittle and Zain started to talk about the old days, the times before all of this mess started. It was an enjoyable experience for them both, but they gradually moved on to what happened during their fight for survival.

It was true Skittle really could remember everything that was happening, but the way he explained it, it was almost as if he was taking a back seat in his head. As if he was watching a movie, he could have thoughts that would try to influence the actions but they just weren't quite working the way he wanted them to.

Then, there were just instincts in the head that would take over, such as smell, eating another brain and so on.

After that, Zain introduced Skittle to the other two, Pink and Kun, who were both friendly. Skittle thanked them for all the help they had given Zain back then, and they had done the same for him. Kelly also gave her thanks but seemed to be a little more shy compared to the other two.

That's when Zain started to ask questions about what the Reborn group was like.

"We weren't there long, so none of us really know, but to answer some of your questions it seems like there are around 200, maybe more, Reborn that are like us." Pink answered. "It seems like from time to time, there are even scouts that are sent out that will find more Reborn like us."

200 was quite a small number considering how many zombies there were out there, and he had no clue how many demons were out there either. He was trying to figure out what was the goal in all of this.

"What about that man that we met before, and the Reborn zombies that were with him?" Zain asked. "Are they at the facility?"

When hearing this question, X turned his head.

"Man… and other Reborn. If you met with who I think you met, they are not part of the Reborn group."

From the aggressive tone in the voice, it sounded like X had a disliking for these other zombies that were like them, but that was to be expected after what had occured with them the last time as well, but why the two groups.

Were they against each other? There were so many things that didn't add up, and he knew that X's answer would be to wait until they reached the facility, and after a short while, they had done just that, as Zain stood in front of the large door.

"We're here." Zain said.
