Level up Zombie

Killing the strange guitarist was more beneficial than Zain had thought, because he had gained quite a bit of exp. At first seeing all of these super zombies, Zain thought that even if he was to arrive and with the help of his small Horde, it would be impossible to get Pink out of this alive.

However, now he was starting to think differently. Not all of the superhuman zombies were of equal strength, and they were killable. If he racked up this much exp, then perhaps in this fight alone, Zain could get strong enough to take care of them all.

[Congratulations you are now level 8]

[1 stat point has been received]

The good thing was, while in another body Zain was still able to receive messages about his main body. Although he couldn't directly see stats unless he switched control, so he would just have to wait till later to apply the stat point.

However, the same wasn't true for Cobra, who had just levelled up two times.

'I can't take too long to think about this, although I need strength, two points in strength won't be enough to help Cobra that much, and with more speed a bigger blow can be delivered!'

[Agility 6 >>> 8]

Super Undead Cobra

Level 4

[Strength: 0]

[Agility: 8]

[Intelligence: 2]

[Vitality: 0]

The death of one of their allies seemed to set off a chain reaction in the area, as they were no longer concentrating so much on their own fight, but instead were all now looking towards Cobra.

One moment they were looking at him though, and the next he completely disappeared from sight, and a clash was heard as two daggers were seen clashing against the clown's scythe.

"Oh, a fast one who managed to kill Dug, but Dug was the weakest of all of us by far you fool!" the clown laughed, as it started to spin the scythe, attacking Cobra non stop. Using the daggers, all Zain could do was defend.

'In that small moment, I only had a few seconds to try and decide which was the weakest out of them all... did I pick wrong? But that doesn't matter too much now, I just have to last a bit longer.'

As Zain continued to block the attacks, he could feel he was losing out in strength and would need to do something soon.

"Brandon, don't worry about me, help Pink deal with the gladiator, he will be the most difficult of the lot!" Zain ordered.

For a second Brandon was hesitant, why would he listen to Cobra of all people, and why was he helping them. Either way, for some reason he was and Brandon needed to act fast, and that's what he did.

The strikes from the clown's scythe were so heavy that Zain had almost lost grip, but just then a few shots were fired from the window again and the clown had to stop its barrage as it defended itself from the bullets.

"This is getting annoying, why don't I take that one out first!" The clown said, but Zain wasn't going to let that happen so easily.

Although Cody wasn't getting any help from Cobra, Zain, or the little zombie dog, around nine other zombies had come to his aid. They had rushed through what looked like a diner, and were all heading towards the football player.

As the footballer saw this, he bashed his hands togther as he charged forward crashing into one of the zombies. As he did, the zombie went flying into the air and through the window. After that, two of the zombies had jumped latching onto the footballer and began to bite and chomp on him.

"Why are these sh*ts eating me? I'm just like you!" The footballer screamed, as he grabbed one by the shoulder and slammed it on the floor detaching its head from its body.

It was clear that the zombies weren't going to be enough to take this one down. So while he was busy, Cody had crept around the corner to see if Kelly was okay, as he reached the counter he could see she was slowly getting up.

"Kelly, is everything okay, we need to get out of here, or hide while keeping him off our tail, can you move?" Cody asked.

When checking out her own body, to her and his surprise, she seemed fine. There were no broken bones, and she wasn't heavily bleeding even though she had suffered the same impact as the zombie had done earlier.

"I can move... I can move." Kelly answered.

At first Cody had put Kelly on his shoulder as the two of them were ready to get out of the shop. A couple more zombies, and it looked like the footballer would be giving them all of his attention once again.

As they got out of the shop though, Cody could hear something over by the cars that were blocking their way, and that's when he could see a figure standing on top.

"Zain!"

Once again Zain had arrived, but strangely he was just standing there, and perhaps it was coincidence, but at the same time as Zain stood there, all of the super zombies stopped their assault and retreated back to the other side. The thing was, even Zain was confused by this, as he switched back to his own body and jumped down.

"Everyone gather!" Zain shouted.

They didn't need to be told more than once, Cobra, even War who was in the apartment building, was making his way down. While the others such as Dave and the rest started to come down.

"Zain, how did you know, how did you even know we were in trouble?" Pink asked.

"I don't think that's very important now, what I'm worried about is what they're doing?" Zain replied.

The gladiator, the footballer, and the clown had lined up. Then the footballer moved, pushing one of the cars behind them out of the way, leaving an opening like a door, that's when they could see a person walking out, quite an old looking man in his fifties.

"That.... he looks human?" Brandon asked.

Pink didn't want to say anything, but he was human. As for Zain, he needed to rub his eyes, although it wasn't a one for one because of the age difference, Zain was sure he had seen this person before, and it was in a recent vision of his. It was the man from the lab that worked at Reborn.
