Chapter 247 A New Plan



Before returning to the others, Zain had ventured in different directions, checking if anyone had followed him from the Reborn facility. Although he wasn't being followed, there was always a possibility, so he didn't stray too far from the small town surrounding the base, especially since it was currently dark outside. However, the area around the Reborn base was relatively safe, thanks to countless missions they had undertaken to clear the area. Zain had just defeated one of the Demon leaders, so he felt less anxious for the time being.

At the same time, summoning a few more Zombies, Zain made sure they stayed in the area, and that way he would know if there was anyone after them at the time.

"From the looks of things, they haven't killed all of the zombies in my horde," Zain checked the system and noticed. "They are still trying to experiment and learn about me. I guess it's best to abandon them."

Zain could release members of his horde through the system, and they would become just like any other zombie attacking humans on-site. He knew there was a chance that this could affect Sarah, but with the two guards by her side, he felt it was unlikely.

When Zain found the others at the subway station, they were pleased to see him, but they could tell that the journey had not gone well by the expression on his face. He had decided to tell them everything.

"Seriously, so Sarah was really working with that Demon?" Kun repeated. "I knew it was true, but for her to then act like that. I think you did the right thing. If you stayed, you would have been the scapegoat to all of this.

"I think she has always been worried about the influence you carried within the Rebron group as well."

"What do you think will happen now?" Dab asked. "They all knew Zain returned right, so when they ask what happened to him, what is she even going to say? Will she tell them the truth?"

They all had their doubts in their minds because she wouldn't even tell Zain the truth, and even Sid, one of the closest and most loyal that worked with her, had no clue.

"There's nothing we can really do about what happened, but it would appear that the Reborn base is no longer a safe place for us to go, so we need to make a decision," Skittle spoke up.

At first, he didn't speak to the group much due to his shyness and only stuck close to Zain, speaking to him at times, but he had started to open up to the others a bit more.

"Where are we going to go?" Kelly blurted out, which was precisely what Skittle was referring to.

The current situation had become dangerous for those like them: Reborn Zombies that were just wanderers. The city was becoming more dangerous as there was more intense fighting going on from multiple groups.

There were the evolved Zombies, the Zombie hunters that were becoming bigger in number, and the Army. Although the forces inside the city had grown relatively small, apparently, the core members of the Army were quite a skilled group that worked well together.

'Although some humans are okay with Reborn Zombies, not all of them are,' Zain thought. 'It does make me wonder how Cody and Ryan are doing.'

It was a tough decision because there was no guidance from the system. Usually, he would go off and attempt to complete a quest, hoping the system would show him a way.

'Come on, you were the one that dragged me into all of this by showing me that vision…so don't you have an answer?'

In the end, the system had nothing.

After considering their options, the group decided to stay in the subway for the night, as it would be safer to move in the morning. They knew they needed to leave early, however, as the Reborn group also used the subway as a passage to and from the main city.

Before going to sleep, Zain used his zombies to take guard at the front of the subway and in the tunnel. It was unlikely, but there was a chance that there would be those that ventured into the night. There was also the chance that they could run into another Demon as well.

When they woke up, the group quickly set off into the city, it was similar to how they remembered it before. Greenery was growing on the side of the buildings now that there was no one to look after them. The ground was full of pot holes and cracks from the meteorites and there was countless bodies and bugs everywhere one walked, although most of the flesh had been eaten away or deteriorated.

Unsure of where they were going. Pink spoke up, asking if Zain had made a decision on what to do next.

Zain replied, "For now, we need to find somewhere safe, somewhere we can call our own. We'll head to the school. It's a large area where the CCTV cameras are still working. I can control around a hundred zombies, plus the fifty on me, around there, so we'll have a big army of our own to defend with."

Zain didn't mention it, but because the school would become his territory, they would also be notified if they were attacked.

"From then on, we'll continue to gain territory next to the school, spreading out more and more. With that, the number of zombies I can control in an area will increase."

Zain had been planning to do this anyway. He knew that when two territories next to each other were taken over and acknowledged by the system, they would become one. If he could continue to do this, just how far could he go?

He wasn't sure, but he was determined to find out.

"We're going to take over this whole city," Zain said with a smile.
