Level up Zombie - Chapter 252: Stop The Fire

The fire that was lit on one part of the crops started to spread from one area to the next, and it was moving fast. Soon the fire would start to grow in all areas and would be out of control.

The current farm was filled with dry crops, plants, leaves and more, all of it perfect for making a fire spread. The problem for them wasn’t losing the farm, but trying to get out of the place.

The fire would soon start to surround all of them, and if that was the case, Zain wasn’t even sure that their zombie-like bodies would be able to handle that.

“Zain, there is a water pipe that runs under the ground between the two halves of the crops.” Skittle started to explain. “It’s hopeless trying to stop this large amount of fire with some water now. So the best thing to do is to just stop it from spreading.

“If you burst the water pipe all along the track, then you can flood the midsection of the farm. There is already a large distance between the crops, so it’s unlikely to spread to the next patch if you do this. Then the flames will just burn out.”

It was a solution, but one that wasn’t sure would work in the first place, and on top of that, it was one that would still lose half the farm. Judging by the look of the Zombie Hunters, they weren’t too afraid of the fire and were just short of food.

Likely they had a way to escape, just like they had done the last time.

‘Jade. Although she isn’t the nicest person in the world, she’s not stupid. She should have realised the mess that this caused, but she seems calm. If she can create this fire, she might have a way to diffuse it as well.

‘For putting us in this situation, I don’t want to let her escape today.’

With that thought in mind, Zain quickly ran off from his position into the field of crops that had yet to be burnt. With his speed the way it currently was, he could run incredibly fast.

It didn’t take him long to reach the area that Skittle was talking about, and now it was time for him to get to work.

Meanwhile Skittle, Kun, Kelly and Pink continued to observe the situation between the Hunters. They had nearly finished dealing with the zombies in the area including those of the surprise attack.

“Do you think we should take them out?” Pink asked.

“Didn’t you hear what Skittle said, that this was a situation just to observe the powers the Zombie Hunters have.” Kun replied.

“Although I do agree, do you think Zain thinks of it this way, now they’ve done what they’ve done?” Kelly replied. “He probably never expected them to cause this much destruction in the area, and he’ll want to pay them back.”

The other two somewhat agreed on this, they had seen Zain on multiple missions act this way. When something was meant to be simple, or one of them would get hurt, Zain would go in against the enemy stronger than intended.

While thinking about what to do, it seemed like the decision had been made for them. The Hunters had finished dealing with the zombies.

“Dona, are there any more of them?” Cleve asked.

The small bald man closed his eyes. There should still be four of them nearby. The Hunters took a quick scan around the area, but were unable to see anyone, this made Cleve think that the ones in hiding had to be the ones that were controlling the zombies.

‘They had someone with that type of ability, but they said four, does that mean Zain went off somewhere?’ Kun thought.

He knew where the other two had originally gone to hide, but was unable to see Zain running from the area, which meant that Skittle was all on his own.

While the group was searching and looking around, Benny, the man who wielded the large axe and had done most of the killing of the zombies by beheading them in one strike, he was heading towards a particular stack of hay.

“This looks like the perfect place for someone to watch everything that’s been going on.” Benny smiled, and rather than just checking behind the haystack, he decided to lift his axe up, ready to swing it down.

Out from the haystack, Skittle was seen breaking through. He ran straight ahead with his fist clenched and punched Benny right in the stomach. The main stat that had been improved for Skittle the whole time, was his strength. Even if Benny was a superhuman, Skittle’s fist was going to hurt.

dα- ne|`c,0m Benny’s feet lifted off the ground as his body bent inwards from the punch, and before he knew it, his large self was flying through the air, until he eventually landed on the ground just by the barn door.

He couldn’t breathe, the hit had him deep in the stomach. Seeing how that was done by a small zombie with bite marks all over him, Cleve felt like this was trouble.

“Be careful, this one is a special one!” Cleve shouted.

Observing them all so far, Skittle had realised that Cleve seemed to be the leader of them all, if he could take him out, then the rest of them would fall apart. They would practically self-destruct without his decision making.

So Skittle went for him next.

‘After I told the others not to fight, now I’m the one fighting.’ Skittle thought.

Before Skittle could reach Cleve though, another Hunter stood in-between them. It was a nervous young Hunter, but keeping his eyes wide open he looked straight into Skittle’s and his whole body suddenly froze.

‘What is this power… this… I saw it before but I had no clue how it worked. Is it through eye contact?’ Skittle thought.

“Wait a second, I recognise this person.” Jade said with a smile.

“Same to you, Jade.” Skittle replied, and the Hunters were surprised to hear the small Zombie boy speak.
