BXBX NOVEL Chapter 154 Turning Point
A gold card, so far, the rewards from the high-level cards had been more than helpful, and Zain couldn\'t lose out on this opportunity for more than one reason. First, he didn\'t know when another chance like this to get a gold card would come up again, especially in a situation he needed to complete anyway.
This wasn\'t like the platinum or other higher cards where he was going into the unknown. On top of that, he wanted to save Pink and Kun anyway. Since improving their abilities by using crystals to upgrade their bodies and strength, they have proven to be a strong and reliable asset for the future.
\'If the system is making the quest a gold one, then that would mean it must think it\'s quite the difficult one as well. So let\'s not take any chances.\'
Rather than continue walking forward, Zain turned around, and in doing so, he pushed the double doors open wide with his two arms, heading back into the reception room.
The people inside the room flinched slightly as they saw Zain. Cody and Dave were still in the hallway, and as he closed the doors, he said a few words.
"Just wait for me by the staircase for a moment," Zain asked as he closed the doors.
Upon turning around, he noticed the people were nervous, and one of them was wrapping a bandage around the thigh of the old man that had been shot before. Although it didn\'t look like it would do much since no one in the room seemed to have much medical training.
\'I guess the doctor is the only one that can actually do something around here, but that\'s strange, shouldn\'t there have been other staff in the hospital as well.\' Zain thought.
When thinking about it a bit more, and thinking about what type of person the doctor was, then it made sense. Because Zain would have done the same in the same position, in this world, everything was about resources.
If others could do the same job as you, then it would mean your job or task was less valuable, so the best thing to do was to take out all of those that could threaten your position.
To put it simply, the doctor must have ordered all of them to have been eliminated, which left regular citizens to help out now and then.
\'We should have done more research before even thinking about asking for help from this type of person.\' Zain thought.
Either way, Zain was still going to continue ahead as he walked over to the group and knelt to the old man that he had shot before. The others stepped back from Zain; there was just something about him screaming that he was a crazy person.
"The doctor might not live after today, so your life was unlikely to be saved, and anyone who did look after you, well, their chances of survival would have been lowered by you anyway."
Grabbing the man\'s head, Zain pulled it back, revealing part of his neck.
"Arghh What…what are you planning on doing?" the man asked.
"You don\'t need to know, but let me just tell you one thing, That little plan of yours, could have gotten me and the others killed. I don\'t take too kindly to threats."
Right there and then, in front of all the others, Zain opened his mouth, and in doing so, he bit down on the man\'s neck. It only took a few seconds as his veins bulge, and his eyes started to turn for the system notification to appear.
[An undead has been created, you have one new horde member!]
\'This is good, I lost quite a lot in the fight before anyway, and I don\'t want to lose the others. I don\'t know what I will be going up against, but it\'s best to make an army of my own anyway.\'
As the newly created Zombie stood up from the ground, the others were still confused about what had happened. Then without hesitation, Zain threw the man directly into the group of people.
Doing this, the man knocked a couple over, and immediately he started biting on those he fell on. Everyone heard more screams of pain, and the people were all too familiar with this scene. They had seen it many times before entering the hospital.
"You will all become the army I need to take over this place," Zain said as he got up and turned around. There were only so many horde members that he could control in the first place, so the rest of them would be free to do as they wished.
In Zain\'s head, it was easier to protect the few humans he cared about from the zombies than everyone in the building, so it was an easy decision to make.
The door opened once again, and Zain was seen walking through, wiping his mouth with the sleeve of his shirt and closing the doors behind him to nothing but the screams of the others.
"Zombies!! It\'s a Zombie!!!" The other two could hear muffled screams on the other side of the door.
"What… happened there?" Dave asked.
"Nothing for you guys to worry about. They will be the ones helping us get out of this place and ensure there are no more problems here." Zain stated as he walked past them and headed for the stairs.
From behind, Cody looked at Zain\'s sleeve and saw it was slightly darker in colour, having soaked up some of the blood.
\'Zain…I have an idea of what you did. I\'m not sure I agree with your methods or what you really are, but right now, I\'m happy that you are on our side in all of this.\' Cody thought.
[15/15 Horde members You have reached the maximum number of members]
\'That was quicker than I thought.\' Zain smiled.
