Level up Zombie - Chapter 226: Learning the truth (part 1)
Just from the initial look outside of the facility Zain was pretty impressed. There was no damage to the facility at all, and to top it off, it looked like there was a lack of zombies in the area as well.
‘Is it because there is a lack of humans here, or did the Reborn group clear them out?’ Zain thought.
Currently, Zain had been told to wait outside while X and Sid headed inside. It was the standard procedure whenever a new person came to their hideout. The others had all experienced it.
Apart from Zain, they were told that they could come inside, but they had decided to stay outside, including Kelly. X allowed this for the time being as he went to explain the situation.
When inside, Sid and X had met up with Sarah, the head of the Reborn group, the only human present there and in her normal white lab clothes.
“I see, it seems like quite a lot happened on your journey, I am happy that I sent out the two of you, and I’m happy that you came back in one piece.” Sarah replied. “What I’m most interested in is this new Reborn, if he’s that strong he might even be better than Tork.”
“Don’t you think this might cause a problem if we let him in?” X asked. “The others that we brought in, they are staying by his side even now. Unlike those that we have looked after for a while now, they seem to have more loyalty to him, than to the Reborn group.
“If he becomes a pillar among the Reborn, then if anything was to happen in the future…”
“That is for me to worry about.” Sarah replied. “We have to believe in people, and believe in their will to do what’s best for the whole world.”
With those words, a decision had been made and Sid as well as X went back to call in the others.
“Our leader has agreed to meet with you.” X said as the door was slowly opening. “Everyone goes through an interview before meeting up with the others, and me and Sid will be by your side escorting you.
“The rest of you feel free to wait for him inside, as you usually would do.”
The other three were slightly nervous because they knew at times Zain would do crazy things. If he was to stir up trouble and leave, they wanted to do so with him, but with a gesture from him, it seemed like he was okay.
“I have Skittle with me as well.” Zain explained. “The two of us will be fine.”
The whole group walked down the hallway before splitting off, Zain wasn’t too worried as they had no idea the full extent of his capabilities, there were still plenty of zombies that he could summon if need be.
On top of that, he doubted anything would happen if he was right with his guess. Sid opened the door for him, heading into a small square room. Inside there were two chairs, and other Reborn group members.
When they went to sit in the chairs, both Sid and X went to stand quite close behind them, and as for who was in front of them, sitting in the chair opposite, it was of course Sarah.
When Zain had entered the room, he couldn’t help but stare at her. He looked deeply into her eyes and continued to look all over, but didn’t even notice the others in the room.
“Do you… know me?” Sarah asked, as she noticed just how deeply Zain was looking at her.
‘This woman, although she looks a bit older, there is no doubt she is the same person that was in my vision, and if I was to gamble, I bet she was the same person that ran into me that time.’ Zain thought, and was wondering just how he should play out this whole thing.
Since Zain hadn’t said anything yet, Sarah went on to speak.
“I should explain a few of the basics here, but I assume your friends have already told you a lot.” Sarah continued. “We are the Reborn Foundation, a group that focuses on gathering those that are like yourself. We look out for each other and work together to achieve our goal.”
“Which is?” Zain asked, it was the first words out of his mouth. “Why… does the Reborn group exist, why do zombies exist, why do demons exist, and Sarah, what do you know about the man that controls the other zombies?”
Those in the room were now slightly on guard, and Sarah was looking at Zain one more time, to see if she recognised him at all. Because she didn’t have her name badge on, there was no way that Zain should have known her name.
Although the others could have told him, the way he was saying these words…
Zain went to reach in under his armour and shirt, loosening it up, and X immediately went to grab his hand.
“What are you doing, do you think I’m going to try something?” Zain asked, and forcefully shook his hand off.
It was the first time X was experincing Zain’s strength first hand and it was like he expected, Zain was different compared to the other Reborns. He continued and eventually pulled out a pendant that was around his neck that contained a crystal.
Something that he had kept on him for a while.
“For a while now, I wanted to meet the person who dropped this. I’m not sure if I’m right or not, but I have a feeling that it’s because of this crystal, that I am what I am right now.”
Zain soon took it off and placed it on the table.
Sarha’s eyes lit up as she saw the crystal and answered.
“It does.”
