BXBX NOVEL Chapter 266 Double Escape
While in the cells there wasn\'t much for Zain to do. He couldn\'t practise using his skills and if he did it would only deplete his energy while in there. Since he had increased his intelligence, it was very rare that Zain had to worry about his body functions deteriorating.
Now though, stuck in a place where he was unable to hunt, who knew how long he would be in here for. Eventually, Zain felt like the best option was to continue to gather information about this place.
Just as he was about to open his mouth though, footsteps could be heard coming down the hallway. A smell lingered with the group of people and it was a smell many recognised. Those that had been sitting down or standing away doing nothing had even reacted to this because it was food.
"Alright, as usual, red trays are for the undead, while the grey trays are for the rest." The man stated.
Each cell door was open and a team of Zombie Hunters would enter the room first with a long pole in their hands. The ends had been sharpened, making them more deadly.
After that, another team followed and placed the food on the floor, the right amount for the amount of people in the cell. Once all that was done they quickly left and continued to do the same for the other cells.
\'Although confident that we can\'t overpower them, they are still cautious of us trying to infect them.\'
Although Zain didn\'t like the group of people, he did have to admit that they were running things efficiently.
What came as more of a surprise was the meal itself. When looking at the red tray in his hands, he could tell it was made up of flesh, and it even had brains in there.
"We get to eat well today." Dart commented. "Most likely they used the newcomers who lost in battle. It\'s not everyday that we get brains."
Zain had no problem digging in, but he did find the situation a little odd. All in the same room, there were humans eating regular food meanwhile the zombies were eating humans.
"I guess they want us to be well when we fight." Zain replied, putting his tray down. Afterwards, he started to look at the plastic bowl that had been given and the tray itself to see if there was some way he could use these things.
"You\'re still thinking of escaping, huh?" Dart said. "Don\'t worry, everyone is like that when we first get here."
"And has anyone tried to escape?" Zain asked.
"Of course." The female voice from before said.
Her name was Anna, part of the Zombie Hunters, as for the reason why she was behind the cell doors no one knew, not even Dart who spoke to everyone.
"No one has gotten very far though." Anna continued. "I think someone might have reached the above reception floor, but you must have seen how many hunters there are in this place.
"All of them, with their powers, even if you can get out of here, it\'s up there that matters."
Zain wanted a back up plan, just in case fighting, or killing Tack didn\'t work. All of those in this cell and the other cells had resentment against the hunters, so maybe if Zain was to break them all out, and they fought against the hunters together, it would work.
"People are scared, Zain." Dart commented. It was almost as if he could read the other\'s mind as to what he was thinking of doing.
"They won\'t risk their life out of fear, unless there is something else that they fear even more."
After the meals were done, Zain decided to walk around the cell. He made eye contact with a few others and even started to walk towards them. He was hoping to talk to them, to gauge how they felt about attempting a breakout.
However, they clearly weren\'t interested as many of them would just move away, and avoid eye contact with Zain, if possible. The only two that would talk were Anna and Dart, at least in this cell.
"Come here." Dart said, waving Zain over, when looking at him he felt like he was almost a lost cause, just wandering around the cell room. The footsteps were annoying everyone as well, based on their looks anyway.
"Look, I like you Zain, I think I\'ve made that quite clear from the beginning." Dart said. He started to move further away from everyone to the corner of the cell as if he didn\'t want any of the others to hear the conversation between the two.
"You\'re still looking for a way to escape, you still have spirit. So I\'m going to tell you something. Don\'t rush to get out of this place. Just be a bit patient, you won\'t have to wait long either. They will eventually come save us, so don\'t worry, and remember I\'m only telling you this because I like you."
Dart was a strange person and was confident, even though he was stuck in this place. It had always made Zain wonder how he could be that way, but was this his reason, because he was confident someone was going to break them out.
"Who\'s they?" Zain asked.
"He\'s already managed to arrive here, so it won\'t be too much longer, until the Dark Zombies act."
Zain\'s eyes widened at the information. He had heard the name before, while staying at Sarah\'s. The group that called themselves the Dark Zombies, the ones that had attacked Zain, killing Brandon and more, and for some reason had let him live that day.
If they were here with the strong Chained Zombies, then that would change everything.
