In a high-rise building that was still intact, Zain peaked out of the window and could see three people entering one of the shops on the ground floor. Many of the buildings in the area had been destroyed by the strange meteorite strike but not all of them.

Even if there weren't people to keep the building maintained and such, it would still stand for several years before anything happened. Usually, Zain would advise against trapping oneself in a building like so, but that was if they weren't a zombie.

"But the two of us are Zombies, isn't that right Skittle?" Zain said out loud.

"Krak ra!" Skittle replied back.

A total of three days had passed since Zain had woken up and the whole world had changed. So much had happened in that time that the unique zombie boy had to get his head around it.

For one, the strange system that only he seemed to have. A system that would help him get stronger as he levelled up and gave him odd quests from time to time, such as surviving the first night.

Currently, Zain was still only a level three but had gained quite a bit of exp.

[Zain Talen]

[Level 3]

[558/2626 exp]

This was thanks to surviving the first night quest, after that though, Zain never gained any other exp for surviving the next nights, it seemed to be a one-day thing. On top of that, during their current journeys once in a while they would come across a mutated Zombie which was easy for him and Skittle to deal with together.

However, they were still relatively rare, and Skittle had yet to level up himself, still being a level 1 undead.

There was a reason why Zain was starting to keep a close eye on the system, because it was perhaps one of the ways to getting Skittle better, at least to the point where both of them would be the same. Regardless, Zain's character did not allow him to just think of one way or stick to one plan, he needed to know more and have a few backup plans.

If he really wanted to help Skittle then they would need to find a cure for this thing. They would not be the only ones trying to fix the current problem, there were laboratories, militaries and governments all over the world.

To get this information, or find out what was going on, they needed to head to a place with people, and that's why they had decided to enter the City. The city had a high population of around 6 million people.

This was why Zain wanted to avoid the palace at all costs, but strangely it didn't seem like there were that many Zombies when they had entered the place. There were a lot, but nowhere near to the number of six million.

Either way, it allowed for more people to stay in the city, and at the same time for Zain to focus on his second goal. He wanted to head to where one of these meteors had hit. It was what people claimed had started all of this. Although Zain didn't believe that, he still thought there had to be a link to the two events.

"They've been in that shop for a long time. Maybe they found something this time?" Zain said, and seeing this, he started to head down the stairs of the apartment building with Skittle following him.

The truth was, Skittle and Zain had been following the group of people for an entire day. When arriving in the city and overhearing them, Zain didn't introduce himself to them.

He had learnt what kind of troubles that had caused before. He wouldn't make the same mistake again. Still, he followed them closely, listening to their conversations and more. It was how he learnt about the different theories people talked about and how all of this started.

His senses were improved and Zain could even somewhat tell where they were without seeing them since his field of vision had increased as well. There was a reason as to why they were following them.

During the trip, both Zain and Skittle were able to find relatively fresh flesh in the city. In the apartment buildings, there were those that had died not too long ago. Consuming their flesh both he and Skittle had their energy bar and hunger bar come back to what they were.

Zain had even pulled out part of the knife in his chest and healed himself, meaning he no longer had to wear bloody bandages. Still, there was a major problem and that was, the body functionality.

[Body functionality currently at 33 Percent]

Zain had been putting it off for a while, but no matter how fresh the flesh would be, it looked like it wasn't restoring his body to how it was and he began to notice some side effects. At times he would just forget things, forget where he was, who he was.

There would also be black-out phases, where he suddenly lost control of everything as if in a deep sleep not knowing what was going on. When waking up he would then suddenly be in a different place. It was clear that this body functionality wasn't just affecting how well he could use his body, in terms of physicality, but also mentailiy.

Slowly, he was becoming a mindless Zombie like the rest of them, and he needed to do something fast. There was a solution to his problem, and it was the reason why he had been following these people for a while now.

The three ran out from the shop, and one of them could be seen, getting grabbed by the leg. The man fell to the floor, he tried his hardest to crawl away but a great pain was already felt in his leg, and soon a few more Zombies had climbed on top of him, consuming him on the spot.

"F*Ck they got Dillan!" One of the men shouted.

"He's gone, we have to get out of here!" The other man shouted, but when turning around, they could see a human figure in a red hood standing behind them.

"I'm sorry, but I need to live as well," Zain stated.
