Level up Zombie



A hard truth had hit many of them in the room, and they were left to contemplate everything they had just learned. At that moment, a lot of them actually agreed more with Sarah than with Humfree standing in front of them.

Perhaps it was because they were human rather than zombies, but even then, when they thought about everything that had happened in the city so far, the cause of most of their pain, in their minds, was the zombies.

The zombies were the ones who attacked, killed their loved ones, and did whatever they could to survive. Some of them had to kill their own family members and friends because they were no longer recognizable. Whereas for the demons, they had only heard a few stories of people encountering them. Wendy had fought against one herself. Sure, they were strong, but they were few in number compared to the zombies, which was why she saw them as a lesser threat.

"I can imagine what you are thinking," Humfree said. "But the only reason you haven't been encountering the demons as much as you would have is because the zombies, including us, the Dark Zombies, have been fighting against them this whole time. Your lives are as peaceful as they are because of us."

Those words silenced any thoughts of protest. It was quite clear to Humfree that his answer was the only answer, and whether it worked or not, he believed it. It made sense for the conscious zombies to follow him as well.

"Thank you for explaining everything to us," Zain said. "I have now heard both your and Sarah's side of the story. Both of you were trying to give the human race a chance to survive and had decided on the best method."

In many ways, they were like Zain, but rather than seeking individual survival, Humfree was looking at it from a collective human race perspective. If Zain were in the same situation, he wasn't sure which route he would choose due to a lack of knowledge.

"I see that you somewhat understand, but I'm not sure the rest of you are as convinced," Humfree said, standing up. "Don't worry, I will send you all on a task to the frontline, right here in the city centre, and then I'm sure you would all understand what we have been dealing with this entire time."

As they were about to leave through the same door they entered, someone was heard entering, and they all recognized him. He was chewing on something in his mouth, like a piece of grass sticking out.

"Alright, everyone, since I know you all best, I will be looking after you while you stay here," Dart smiled. "And don't worry, I already told the others not to touch you, even if they are a bit hungry."

The usual happy smile was on his face, but now they felt like there was a double meaning behind his words. They got up and started to follow Dart through the large manor one by one. The hallways were extremely wide, wide enough for all of them to walk side by side, and occasionally, the hallways would open up to go in different directions where they could see other zombies hanging about and talking.

While walking, they soon heard the sound of an alarm. It continued to blare for a second before going off again.

"What's that?" Anna asked, her voice filled with concern.

"That means… someone is at the front gate," Dart explained, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of danger.

They all turned their attention towards the source of the alarm, their hearts pounding with a mix of anticipation and anxiety. Dart and the other zombies that had accompanied them rushed out towards the nearest exit, their instincts guiding them to protect their territory.

"If someone is at the front gate, doesn't that mean we're being attacked?" Wendy's voice trembled with worry.

"So then why do they all have smiles on their faces?" she added, her confusion evident.

Curiosity outweighed their fear, and they decided to follow Dart, their steps quickening as they moved towards the front of the house. They exited through one of the side doors and continued running across the expansive grounds, the tall grass brushing against their legs.

Finally, they reached their destination… the front gate, and what they saw made their eyes widen in astonishment.

Standing before them was a colossal figure, as imposing as the ancient trees that surrounded them. Its massive form was covered in black, impenetrable armour, resembling a titan from the tales of old. This titan, however, surpassed any they had encountered before in both size and menace.

The Dark Zombies, with their unwavering determination, had already encircled the titan and were launching relentless attacks in an attempt to weaken it. Yet, the titan remained an unconscious force of destruction, its primal instincts driving it to attack anything in its path, be it humans, demons, or even fellow zombies.

"Why is everyone smiling? I don't understand," the soldier spoke, his voice filled with a mix of confusion and awe.

"This is a jackpot," Dart's voice carried a mixture of excitement and determination. "You see, this is a stage 4 titan… an unconscious one. It relentlessly attacks anything it sees, including us zombies. But the key is the crystal inside it."

He paused, his gaze fixed on the titan's towering form, before continuing with a tone of anticipation.

"We zombies grow stronger by consuming the crystals found within these titans. Normally, we have to venture outside these walls in search of them. But now, fate has brought a titan to our doorstep."

A sense of urgency filled the air as Dart turned his attention to Zain, his voice carrying a note of encouragement.

"So, what do you say? Are you thinking of joining them? You are now part of the Dark Zombies. If you take down that titan, it will be a substantial upgrade for you, an opportunity to enhance your strength."

The gravity of the moment hung in the air, the immense titan towering before them, its presence demanding action.
