Level up Zombie-Chapter 129 Zombies Vs Humans (Part 2)

As he stood on the second floor, the wind blew Zain's long red hair. It was quite gusty today as he walked out of the building, overlooking the sight in front of him.

"Holy sh*t! Just how many of them are there?!" Kun couldn't help but exclaim at the scene in front of him as he, too, walked out along with the others.

The zombies were heading towards them and were about a minute away, and on top of that, Kun, with his improved eyesight ever since he had been consuming crystals, could clearly see who was leading the charge.

"Damn it. It's that guy! I knew that he would do something like this. If he was in the Reborn organisation, they would have kicked someone troublesome like him a long time ago." Kun started to complain. Although he didn't have a good feeling from Stu anyway, he still didn't expect the latter to go this far.

"What are you thinking, Zain? Are you planning to get out of here?" Pink asked. "I mean, knowing you, that's the safest thing to do, right? To survive, we just need to leave this place and let everyone die. It makes sense.

"While the zombies are eating them, we can just safely escape, right? Well, I might as well head downstairs and say farewell to my family one last time then."

Kun was pulling a face because he understood from both sides. He knew how Pink felt with her family being here and also understood Zain being in the right to prioritise their survival because the way he acted was very much like those in the Reborn group.

On a large scale, Zain's way was also less selfish since it didn't sacrifice anyone who didn't need to be sacrificed.

[Defend the museum from the Horde attack]

[Reward: Gold card]

'Sometimes, I'm not sure what you want from me. Do you want me to protect these people, turn them or what?'

Either way, despite the quest coming up there, there was still one thing on his mind whether or not he would attempt something like this.

"I have an answer." Zain finally said, looking at the zombies. "As long as I think there is a chance that we can survive this attack, then I will help them out, but we need to see what will happen first."

At the moment, looking at his own horde of zombies, Zain could see that they were all alright, but there was no point in calling them in this type of situation. There were multiple mutated zombies mixed among the regular zombies, and he imagined his horse would be killed fairly quickly against the former. For now, he was planning to observe and understand the capabilities of Ryan's group to make a stand on their own.

Down below, the rest of the squad had walked out of the museum.

Tod and Max both had guns in their hands. However, they were the only ones holding automatic weapons, and the others had handguns. It was because even with the supply boxes, good weapons were difficult to come by.

They waited, aimed and were in position.

Then, when they were around thirty seconds away from the stairs, they organised themselves into a wall-like formation to increase their defence.

"Fire!" Brandon shouted.

Constant bangs were heard one after another as they fired gunshots at the zombies as best they could. They needed to aim for the heads more than anything to make any sort of impact, which was a slight problem.

However, these were professionally trained, and the zombies were starting to fall with ease. As they had done, just in front of the staircase, the fallen dead bodies looked to be creating a type of barrier that was making it difficult for the others to climb over.

It was slowing them down, but as always, there needed to be a time for the team to reload. Although there was backup fire, it wasn't enough for the number of zombies that were attempting to climb the stairs, and they were beginning to make it through. 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

Taking out his binoculars, Brandon was looking at the situation, and through the alleyways out of the apartment buildings, more zombies were making their way to where the group was.

'We need to find Stu.' Brandon thought that when he suddenly saw someone among the zombies with a gun pointed directly at the group.

-Bang!

A bullet was fired toward them.

"Duck!" Brandon shouted, and the people hid behind the sandbags. However, one was too slow, causing a bullet to go right through his shoulder.

"AGHHH! I'm hit!" The man cried out.

Pulling out his handgun, Brandon started to fire as he was also a trained gunman and wasn't injured. However, Stu had pulled a zombie in front of him, using its body to block the bullets. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

"Sh*t, he's got a million meat shields, and as long as we keep using weapons, the zombies just won't stop. We will eventually run out of ammo and get tired."

The zombies were now around a quarter way up the stairs, falling over each other and being shot down, falling back into each other.

It was then that the doors behind opened up, and they saw Ryan with a bat in his hand.

"We will defend this place!" Ryan shouted, and behind him, there were around twenty other people with their own weapons ready to fight. Most of them were young ones, but there were a few brave older ones in the group as well, all of them ready to do battle.

'That was always a skill of yours, right, being able to connect with people and get them to follow you.'

"Thanks, I think we've got you. We might be able to win this now," Brandon said, and although he said these words, he didn't really believe them, not without taking out Stu.

The zombies continued to climb while Stu stayed at the bottom of the stairs firing back. He had no intention of getting closer.

The gunmen moved to the side of the open platform area of the museum. At the same time, giving space for the rest of them to use their weapons on those that would come towards them. Everyone was nervous, holding their weapons tightly.

Then finally, the first zombie reached the stairs. Ryan gripped his bat, ready to swing at his head, but just as he was about to, a loud bang was heard, and the zombie fell to the ground, stumbling back down the stairs.

Soon, two other zombies that were close to the stop started to fall as well. Branding was left confused as the bullets weren't coming from any of his men.

The next moment, dropping down on another zombie that had reached the stairs, was someone from above, holding a sword in their hand. It went down and sliced directly in the middle of the zombie, causing its body to split apart.

A feat that seemed inhuman and impossible with human strength at least. Soon after, two more figures dropped down as well.

"…Zain.." Ryan called out as he noticed the red-coloured hair from behind.

It was then that everyone saw Zain calmly walking down the stairs. He had a handgun in one hand and the sword in another. He shot the zombies that were climbing the stairs one by one.

-Bang Bang!

The zombies fell, and then one close to him. He swung the sword, slicing its head off, and it could be seen floating through the air. Fearless, this person single-handedly walked right into the army of Zombies.

Everyone watching it right now had more fear in Zain than the attackers.

'I knew there was something that felt off about that guy.' Tod thought.

"So you decided to help in the end." Pink smiled as she kicked a zombie to the head, killing it with a single strike as she swiped the sword in her hand.

Meanwhile, Kun was keeping track of Stu.

"Yeah, I saw what I needed to see. These people have the will to live. That's all I needed to see. We have a chance." Zain replied.
