Level up Zombie

In one of the military bases, in the temporary prison that had been built, an experiment was being conducted to see whether or not a certain individual had told the truth, and from the looks of it, it seemed to be the case.

'A person that doesn't get attacked by zombies?' General Begal smiled. 'With someone like this, we can explore the more populated areas of the city. Perhaps use them to scout out the areas as well.

'This is a gold mine. It would be good if we could find out how he came to be in the first place. Maybe there is a chance to turn some of our own… but that would require sending him off, which might not be the best situation.'

On the ground floor, where the experiment was taking place, Zain was looking up at the general while the rest of the zombies continued to claw at them, and just to make sure he could be of use to them.

Zain walked up to the group of zombies and pulled one of them by their shoulder dragging them away. He then pulled down its head, kneeing it in its face. Due to the strength Zain currently had, his knee had crushed the skull and had killed the zombie.

'I need to hold back when showing my strength, otherwise they will think they can't control me.' Zain thought. 'Still, judging by the general's smile, it looks like he is quite pleased.'

General Begal was really pleased, and a meeting had been set up between the two of them. They had entered what looked like the warden's office. As usual there were several people in the room with guns. Although it did seem like there were a little more than usual.

'I guess they're taking extra precautions after seeing me knee that zombie's skull in, but I had no weapons on me, what else could I do.' Zain thought.

"This world is a dangerous place now, and there aren't many places where one can relax freely." Begal started his conversation. "There are many who would wish to be protected by us soldiers that are here. You are in a very safe place.

"However, based on what I have seen you are very safe out there as well. You seem like a smart person, if you wanted to, you probably could have evaded us at the border, so tell me, what do you want from this?"

Zain didn't reply instantly as he was thinking about how to answer the question. It was true that Zain could have escaped from the border, and done what? His goal was to reach the Reborn group and since he was unable to do that, he wanted to know what the military was looking for.

If he said that he was a curious student who got wrapped up in all of this, he couldn't imagine them reacting too well to this.

"What else could I do?" Zain eventually replied back. "If anyone found out what I really was, then there was a good chance they would kill me on the spot, or at least try to. There is nowhere for me to go, and I'm tired of being on my own.

"Sure, I thought you guys might run a few experiments on me, it was a risk I was willing to take, but I thought that maybe, once I showed you what I could do, that you would find out there were better uses for me."

The general didn't say anything as he rubbed his chin, up and down. It was a reasonable explanation, and Begal wasn't so sure, but maybe the fact that he was a zombie had a reason to do with why he was so calm. It was one of the things that couldn't be explained.

"Very well." Begal said, leaning forward with both his elbows on the table. "It seems you know that from here on out you will be used, but I am a fair person. Since we will be using you from now on, is there anything that you would like us to do for you.

"Search a particular area, or maybe look for a specific person perhaps?"

Zain wanted to ask why they had made borders around the city, but if he showed too much interest in what the military were doing then maybe it would put him in a suspicious position.

On top of that, it was most likely that Begal would only do him one big favour, so when thinking about everything that he could ask for, he had finally decided.

"There are two things that I would like to request but they are somewhat linked to each other." Zain explained. "If you grant me these things, then I will work for you, no questions asked."

Begal nodded for the time being, as long as it wasn't a ridiculous request then he would comply.

"First, I don't know why I'm like this, I don't know why I can still think and do things like a normal human. If there is any information you have, on those that are like me, then it would be nice to have."

"That is a reasonable request, but I will tell you now that you could be in for a big disappointment, as you should know more than us." Begal replied, as he gestured for Zain to say his next request.

"When… the whole attack started, that was the day I changed, but there was something else that happened on that day as well. The meteors that fell onto the city. I'm not sure if it's related to me or not, but I would like to see one. I saw your team bring one in not too long ago." Zain stated.

Hearing these words, for some reason Begal smiled. As for why Zain had chosen this, it was to complete the diamond reward.

"Well, that certainly is an interesting request, because that was the first place that I was going to take you anyway." Begal stated.
