Level up Zombie - Chapter 275: The Face Man?

At the entrance of the hotel, just through the large glass doors, Zain stood still as he stared at the man directly in the helicopter. Humfree, along with the Chained Zombies, had continued moving forward.

‘I’m certain of it! That body shape, that height, everything about him, it’s definitely the man I see in my visions,’ Zain thought.

Although he could recognize the man straight away, there were a few significant differences. For one, the man in Zain’s mental images that he had referred to as the faceless man, was because at times he would have no features of a face.

There were no eyes, no nose, and sometimes no mouth. At times, there was a mouth, though, and it would move when it spoke, but the person Zain was looking at had all of those things.

A clear strong pointed nose, large eyes, and thick bushy eyebrows. His bald-headed hairstyle was still the same, and even his mannerisms of how he stood up straight were the same as well.

Which was why Zain knew in an instant that they were the same person.

‘With his facial features… he seems a bit less frightening,’ Zain thought to himself, but it made sense.

He was reminded of a conversation he had with Sarah about his visions. According to her, the system was meant to implement training sessions for the user. A guide on how to use certain things, increasing the chance of the person’s survival.

The model for the tutorial, that it had been based on, was this person he could now see. The strongest agent that was in the original Reborn group before it had become a group of Reborn Zombies.

She had stated that he now worked for the other side as well, and it looked like it was true.

‘Hey Zain, is everything okay? Why have you just stopped so suddenly?’ Anna whispered. ‘Are you planning to make a break for it now that we’re outside? If that’s the case, I’ll follow whatever you do.’

The humans of the group clearly didn’t want to go along with Humfree, but running would be a stupid idea. Turning his head, Zain looked at the rest of the Dark Zombies that were now exiting out of the hotel.

“For now, I would try to throw away all of those ideas of running away and do your best to fit in or be helpful to them,” Zain stated, as he carried on moving forward.

As expected, Zain watched Humfree get on the helicopter with the not-so-faceless man. Turning around, he looked at him and his group, expecting them to follow. The others quickly ran up, staying not too far from Zain, and entered.

There were seats lined up on the side, and each of them took a seat next to each other but made sure that Zain sat on the edge of one of the seats where Dart was sitting as well.

“What’s the matter, you’re afraid that I’m going to bite you?” Dart asked Wendy, who was sitting on the left side of Zain and was closest to him. “You should relax. If I was going to bite you guys, I would have done so long ago.”

The helicopter started to fly off into the air, and the others would soon follow. It was frightening for many of them; it was the first time they had been on a helicopter.

The noise was loud, and for them to even hear each other, they would have to shout at the top of their lungs, and even then, they would have to guess what the other was saying through reading their lips.

Humfree hadn’t said anything since they had gotten on the helicopter, but he was making some observations and noticed something.

“Have you met Carl before?” Humfree shouted. “You keep staring his way.”

Zain had tried to make it not look so obvious, but it appeared he had failed at doing so. He could only assume that Carl was the name of the faceless man since he was the only one he had been looking at.

It was because Zain was quite surprised. In his visions, Carl was always human, but right now in front of him, Carl was clearly a zombie. That fact might have made him more frightening in itself since zombies were stronger than humans, especially Reborn ones.

“I’ve never met him before… he just looks strong,” Zain said.

This comment had managed to make Carl himself even smile. “I have never seen him myself either,” Carl replied back. “But I look forward to working with him.”

The conversation was a little strange, almost as if the two were speaking through Humfree while looking at each other.

Observing the situation, Zain was taking in where they had left from. He had an image of the map of the city in his head and in his system. He could now see that they were indeed in the area of the Zombie Hunters.

It was on the edge of their territory that was on the border of the Reborn group’s territory as well. It made him wonder if the two groups had a run-in or if the Reborn group knew about this but felt like it was too much of a threat to even attempt to sort it out.

On the map, he had accounted for the different territories, but then what about the Dark Zombies? Where were they based? To Zain’s surprise, the helicopters were flying to the centre of the city, where it was believed the high-stage zombies and the demons resided. The most dangerous place that none of the other groups had decided to set foot in.

‘For a group to survive here, no wonder they’re strong.’
