Level up Zombie

Zain had received the Tame skill from the gold card and was quite satisfied with it. However, he wasn\'t sure what to expect from a Silver Card. In a way, his hopes weren\'t too high due to it being a lower-tier card. After taking a deep breath, he bet on his luck and used the Silver Card.

[You have used the Silver Card]

[Reward: You have gained 5000 exp]

At first, Zain thought the reward was quite lacklustre, but he soon realised the quest had been pending for a long time, and he should have expected these rewards since he had delayed the quest long enough. If he had finished the quest earlier, such a large amount of EXP would have boosted him a few levels allowing him to get a better head start, still it had done him well now as well.

[Congratulations! You are now level 6]

[Level 6]

[3,513/17,721 exp]

,m The amount of exp he needed to reach the next level was much a lot more. It had already taken Zain a relatively long time to reach Level 6. However, he knew games worked this way, and as he levels up and gets stronger, he would easily be able to hunt the Stage 2 Zombies without any trouble.

As for the stat point he gained for levelling up, he already knew where he needed to add the stat.

[Agility: 0>>1]

After losing the fight in the strange place within the dream, Zain knew his speed was lacking. Even in this world where he was somewhat of a superhuman, he felt he would be too slow to deal with that Stage 2 Zombie.

On top of that, he wanted to make his own character quite balanced while those around him would continue to raise their powers in specialised strengths.

Now that the quest was over, Zain decided to head back to the others to see how they were doing. To his surprise, the other two had pretty much cleared out the area.

Both Pink and Kun had killed nearly all the zombies in the area, and Zain saw them tired for the first time, but they weren\'t resting. Instead, they were wrapping sliced human flesh in plastic bags and containers and carrying it around behind them.

It was as if they had stopped to have a picnic in the middle of everything going on. Zain soon reached them, along with Jam, Cobra and Skittle.

\'There is no need for me to tell them about my zombie horde in the apartment and the fact that I can control them at will. I don\'t want to make them rely on me too much, or else they might start slacking and delay their evolution. They must get stronger to survive in this world.\'

"You have returned? Are you done with your work? Here, have some food." Kun noticed Zain and offered some meat, handing over a plastic tub. Soon, the three of them took a break and started to eat their fill.

Before, they would look away when eating from each other, but as the days went by, it was becoming more of a common thing for them, and they were getting more comfortable with eating human flesh next to each other.

"I was just thinking, maybe what Shark said about the brains wasn\'t true? Maybe we can live without them?" Pink said. "There will be plenty of bodies, and if the world gets back to normal, can\'t we just live off eating those that have died recently?"

Pink was thinking extremely far into the future, but that was normal because she was thinking of the end, which many people do in this type of situation. They never adjust to the new world nor think that what they have now will be their world forever.

"He didn\'t lie," Zain answered. "We must face the fact that for our survival, we have to get rid of humans no matter what. There\'s a chance there are more people like us out there.

"If that is the case, then think about it, when we are stronger, we feel no pain, we don\'t get tired, and we can even continue to grow stronger with each other. So won\'t we become a species stronger than humans?

"Do you think humans will ever be able to accept us the way we are now? No, in the future, it will get worse, and they will attempt to eliminate every single one of us, which is why I want to tell you all something right now for your own survival.

"Attack before asking questions. That\'s how we have to live in this world."

Zain got up and started to put the plastic tubs away in the bag as they were getting ready to move.

"Then why did you go to that hairdresser?" Pink asked.

For a second, Zain paused. Before leaving Chinatown, Zain had told them there was one place that he wished to visit. It was the hairdressers. When he went inside, he searched the place and went to the back room, but there was no one.

For a second, both Kun and Pink saw it, but there was a smile. Although Zain always acted as if he was void of all emotion and feeling, that just didn\'t seem accurate.

"Where are you looking for your family? Was it someone you knew?" Pink asked.

Hearing the word family, Zain touched the top of his head and looked down.

"They were-- "

But before he could answer, a loud humming noise came from above. Then, looking at the sky through the apartment buildings, they saw a plane, and not just that, the plane was dropping down what looked like care packages.

[New quest received]

[Reach the care package before anyone else]

[Bronze card reward]
