Level up Zombie

86 The Corporation (Part 1)

The tension in Zain's arm had left him a little dilemma when he heard Kun shout because, for him, it was an unexpected curveball.

Usually, Zain would say he was a good judge of character. This whole time he was going after Shark to find out the truth when he had Kun by his side.

'If I knew Kun was involved with all that stuff, I would have targeted him instead and never put myself in this type of position.' Zain inwardly frowned. It can't be ignored that Kun had fooled him into believing that he was as ignorant as him about Shark and his secrets.

But he didn't feel like he was cheated. This was a dog-eat-dog world now, and Zain accepted that he fell for Kun's amicable nature. But nothing matters against absolute power, and in the current scenario, Zain knew the grip he held over their neck.

Hence, he continued to hold the two guns in his hand and pointed them at Pink and Fingers. He had also moved to a position that allowed him to target Jelly if needed. At the same time, he ordered Cobra to stop the attack and come to his side.

"I'm going to order Skittle to come by my side!" Zain shouted. "Nobody is to stop him, or I will shoot. Because I'm telling you this right now, I care about his life much more than a bunch of strangers I only met a couple of days ago who are now trying to beat me down. Trust me, I can take a good enough shot." Zain claimed.

It was harder than people thought to shoot a gun accurately if they had never fired one before. Shark thought for a split second he would try to attack regardless; as long as they didn't get hit in the head, it would be fine, but when he made eye contact with Kun, he just shook his head.

Kun had seen Zain use his guns well, and since Jelly's foot was still bleeding, it was clear he wasn't afraid to use it. When Skittle was eventually by his side, Zain ordered both his zombies to stay next to him.

"Alright, speak! Tell everyone who you guys really are, why you are collecting the crystals and why you are hiding everything from us?" Zain asked.

It was a tough situation for the group because the others clearly had no idea that Kun was also working with Shark. Everyone had their suspicions about Shark, and they wanted to know why they had survived the Zombie attack.

"Both Shark and I… are special agents that work for a private company…and it has contracts related to the Military," Kun started to explain, "I'm happy to tell you the truth, but I'm afraid it won't change anything.

"The truth is, the Zombies, the undead, this same type of scenario has happened before, many times. When it came to it, our group of people would be sent in to deal with the aftermath."

"Wait, what!" Pink exclaimed with shock, and she was starting to be filled with anger. "What do you mean… it has happened before? So are you saying this is the same thing that was just part of a large experiment!"

From Kun's words, it was starting to sound like this whole thing could have been stopped, and having recently lost her whole family due to this experiment, Pink was furious.

"Not quite, I think they were trying to stop this from happening, but honestly, being lowly agents, we weren't told much. On top of that, for a long time now, both Shark and I have been with what was called the Reborn Corp."

Listening to the story so far, Zain thought something like this might have been the case. Skittle had been doing research about the zombie attacks popping up in different places. If they were Reborn now, then it would make sense that there were some still out there.

"Some of our missions were tougher than others, and a lot of men were lost to these missions. Unfortunately, or fortunately, however you want to look at it, Shark and I were bit, and we turned into what we are right now.

"The private organisation kept what happened to us a secret from the military. I don't quite know why, but I'm guessing they wanted to be the ones to find out what made us different from the rest.

"Shark and I don't quite understand what happened after that. On the day of the apocalypse, the day the meteor strikes before any of that happened, we were released by…a young scientist woman. She was the one looking after us for a while ever since we were turned.

"She told us to come here. At this club, where we met Jelly, but Jelly doesn't seem to know anything, and the radio was already here."

Zain was hoping to find out why they were different. Maybe they had been injected with a type of vaccine, or they found out a way to multiply what happened in their bodies into others, but that didn't seem to be the case.

However, what was interesting was the female scientist Kun spoke of before he continued with the rest of the story Zain had to ask. When Kun mentioned her, it reminded him of a certain woman he had bumped into a few days ago.

"This female scientist. Was she about this height, a middle-aged woman with long blonde hair and…slender legs?" Zain asked.

There were a lot of people with this description that would fit the bill, but in this type of situation, without them having explained any details, what were the chances that Zain would be able to guess her height and hair colour?

Both Kun and Shark's eyes widened when they heard his words.

"How…how do you know her?" Shark asked.
