Level up Zombie

Right now, it looked almost as if she was looking from top down, her body was to the right, and based on this angle, it was almost as if he was lying on her lap.

Lifting his head, he looked back and quickly realised.

\'It didn\'t feel like I was lying on her lap, but I am lying on her lap.\'

"You must be a bit confused." Kelly said, as she could see Zain was looking at his surroundings. They were in a normal everyday apartment, but that was what confused him even more, because the last thing that he could remember was that he was on the street.

"You were passed out when I came across you and it was starting to get dark, so I dragged you in here." Kelly explained.

For a second, Zain was trying to get his bearings, because the vision he had moments ago felt very real, and in some ways, this did as well. There was a need to clear his head in order to think things through logically.

\'How, was she able to drag me to an apartment floor? We look like we are on the second floor. I know I don\'t weigh much, about 80kg, but still, that would be hard for a single person?\'

"Alright." Zain said, shaking his head. "You said, you found me, I was in the street. At least that part adds up. If you really saw me, there was a person wearing a black leather jacket with me."

"There was, might be the right word." Kelly replied back. "I was roaming around on the streets, and that\'s when I saw the zombies all heading towards a certain direction. When I arrived, it seemed like they were making quite the meal out of the one in the leather jacket you spoke of."

Zain clicked his tongue. It was a shame that a superhuman had died just like that. He would have loved to have turned him, and even then, his brain would have been useful to find out what he knew about the Zombie Hunters and how they operated.

Perhaps now their numbers were small, but the fact that Zain was running into more and more superhumans, it was a worry. Maybe, zombie\'s would no longer be the problem in the future.

"Well, thank you for getting me out of that situation." Zain stated. "But I have a few questions if you don\'t mind."

The two were never particularly close with each other, not how he was with Cody, which was why it felt slightly awkward and he felt the need to speak politely when talking.

"Where is Cody, or better yet, what happened, after I stayed behind. Did you finally manage to get to the museum?" Zain asked.

Kelly had been expecting this question, and she wasn\'t so sure how to answer it when she knew Zain would eventually wake up.

"There is a lot I need to talk to you about…" Kelly stated.

Kelly went on to explain what had occured, how Kun and Pink had left, as they went to search for him. Meanwhile, her and Cody had joined the museum and their group. Things were good and everything was fine until they had suffered a large scale attack from a random group of people.

After that, she had paused again, because this was where the tricky explanations would start to come in for her, but if there was anyone that might understand something similar to what she was going through, it would be Zain.

So after taking a big deep breath she went on to explain how she had fought back, and the changes she had experienced in her body.

"I… really don\'t know what is happening to me, and after getting rid of the attackers, I could see the look on their faces. I wasn\'t welcome there anymore, so I didn\'t even get to say a proper goodbye to Cody.

"I was wandering around outside for a while, and that\'s when I realised as well, not even the zombies seem to attack me anymore." These words were clearly painful for her, because she started to tear up, and was no longer able to speak.

Zain listened to her story well, but found everything a little strange. What was Kelly? She hadn\'t been bitten, and honestly with her right next to him, she didn\'t smell like a zombie, but she didn\'t smell like a human either. So he understood why the zombies weren\'t going after her.

\'The only thing I can guess is the final experiment from that doctor had worked, he had managed to create a superhuman, but even a superhuman smelled like a superhuman, whereas Kelly didn\'t.\'

"I don\'t think you have to worry too much." Zain replied. "Let me put you a little at ease. You\'re not like me. I\'m sure you already know, but I\'m an undead, a zombie, I\'m like those out there but slightly different, which is why I can tell you\'re not like me."

Kelly wiped her tears away, and although it was some relief, it still placed a large question mark in her mind/

"Then, what am I?" Kelly asked.

"I\'m not sure. I don\'t really know why I am like the way I am either, and I\'m trying to find out. I\'m not a scientist or doctor so I can\'t help you, but I am going somewhere, somewhere they might be able to." Zain stated.

When waking up, there was another change, a change to his system. In the vision it was stated that his system had been updated, but with what exactly? The only thing he noticed that was something different, was that a new quest had been received, but it came with no reward.

[New quest]

[Head to the Reborn group]

At the same time, when selecting the quest, a map appeared, showing him the exact location of the Reborn group.

\'It looks like my hunch was right, they have something to do with this system after all.\'
