BXBX NOVEL Chapter 171 The Last One
To his right, there was the young student Dave, dead along with two others. Now in front of him, there was Brandon, a person who he had been through a bit with. It was also his lead to knowing about the Reborn group.
However, once again it was a life that Zain had tried to protect and yet had failed at doing so.
\'Brandon, Dave, not just them too, but If I don\'t do something now. Then everyone, we all will die right here.\' Zain thought.
When looking up, Zain could hear the chains of the third chained zombie on the floor. Now he could see who it was targeting, it was looking at both Cody and Kelly.
\'No… I can\'t let these guys do what they want!\' Zain thought.
The chain was swung and he knew he wouldn\'t be quick enough, but there was someone who was. The chain clashed against two daggers as a person appeared in front of the two. The person, or body they were looking at was Cobra, but Cobra wasn\'t the one inside, or at least not the one in the mind.
\'The attack is so strong, I can\'t push it back!\' Zain thought, as he skidded across the ground. After taking that one attack, Zain knew what to do now.
"Run." Zain mumbled. "Run!! All of you run and get out of here. I will be able to stall them for some time, but there is no point in all our lives being lost, so all of you run while I deal with them."
Zain had gone through the scenarios in his head, and this in the end was the only option. If they all stayed and fought together they would die. If he tried running on his own, the others wouldn\'t be able to hold them and they would die.
The only option was for Zain himself to hold them back, while the others got on with their lives.
Kun, Pink, Cody and Kelly. These were the only ones that were still alive, and each of them tightened their fists as they heard these words. After everything this person had done for them, were they really just going to leave him here?
"You heard what he said!" Kun shouted. "Everyone run now!"
The chained zombies were looking in their direction, but Zain had moved to the side of Cobra and supportive fire was coming from War at the window. It was hitting the chained zombies and the bullets were piercing them, but when it went through their bodies, they immediately healed.
This power, and ability, seemed even stronger than Zain\'s ability to heal.
One of the chain zombies swung again, and Zain swung his sword at the same time. Due to his increased skill, he knew exactly where to hit it to stop its momentum. When the sword clashed against the chain though, the top had snapped right off, and the chain continued, hitting Zain right on the arm, breaking it in an instant and sending him to his knees.
[Your arm has broken]
[Would you like to use energy to fix it?]
"ZAIN!!!" Pink screamed, as she saw this but Kun quickly pulled her back. The group were in the shop where Kelly and Cody were fighting. The plan was to escape out of a back entrance and head to another street.
Standing up, Zain stretched out his arm, and it started to heal on the spot, regrowing and going back to what it used to be. However in his hand now, was nothing but a broken sword compared to before.
"Don\'t come back here, and don\'t try looking for me. I hope I have taught all of you everything you need to know about surviving. So use it!" Zain shouted.
Continuing to pull Pink away, they headed deeper inside, with Kun saying a few words under his breath.
"At times you seemed cruel, but you are a good person Zain, I will look after them." Kun said.
With the others gone, Zain was now ready to do whatever it took to survive, he had even called over Skittle from his hiding place. If there was a slim chance, he would take it. Dropping the sword to the ground he pulled out both handguns.
He shot bullets towards all three of the chained zombies, until two of them swung their chains and hit the guns out of Zain\'s hands.
[Your hands have been crushed]
[Would you like to use your energy to heal them]
"Yes!" Zain shouted, and his hands healed, but with the broken bones so far and the fighting, his energy was down to nearly half, but that\'s when he noticed that the chain zombies were just standing there, they weren\'t moving forward, and instead the old man was in the centre of them.
He looked to Zain again, and was looking toward his chest.
"You seem to be the person who she has put her hope in. " The man said. "Because of that I will let you live, and we shall soon see, who\'s method was better out of the two of us. When you come to realise why you are still alive, I am sure you will join us, along with your followers."
With that said, the man had turned around, and the chained zombies followed him along with those he called the Dark Zombies, and staying there in place Zain witnessed them leave the area, leaving him alive along with his zombies.
\'What happened… why did he just... leave me?\'
