Level up Zombie

For once, while in his zombie state, Zain was excited and for more reasons than just one. Currently, he was undergoing a few basic tests, he had been moved to a military unit and guards were to stay with him at all times.

They were handing him a military uniform to wear, and not just the light weight clothes either. Since they knew he had slightly more strength than usual, they allowed him to wear a bulletproof vest, heavy duty boots and so on. It was more along the lines of what a SWAT team or a specialist team would wear, but they all had a tint of dark green to them.

​ It was essentially an upgrade to what Zain had on before, but a new set that was more protective. Of course, they hadn't given him any weapons. The trust wasn't quite there yet, and judging by the wandering eyes of the other soldiers, it perhaps would never be there.

"It's okay, I have my goals, I can stay and find out what the military is looking for, and I will be able to tell why those meteorites are so important.'

The main reason he was excited though, was the diamond quest. Wondering what type of reward he would receive.

'But it makes me wonder, what is taking General Begal so long?' Zain thought.

Today of all days, it seemed to be quite busy for the army base, as they were preparing for a number of things. The base was relatively large with multiple sections, and each area had their commanders that would take care of things, but due to the importance of certain matters Begal was getting called all over the place.

After leaving Zain, Begal was heading to the barrack headquarters to prepare for a meeting with a particular group of people, but on his way there, a commander rushed out and intercepted him.

"Sir, there is a situation at the gate that I think needs your direction as we are not sure what to do." The man stated.

Begal looked at the man while shaking his head.

"Is it really not something you can take care of yourself?" Begal replied.

"Sir, it is civilians, we asked them to leave and turn back, but they refuse to, and wish to make a deal." The man explained.

The front gate of the army base was opened, as Begal walked out with a small group of around ten men, all with weapons held in their hands. It was quite a presence for one to march up to, but it was something that needed to be done, especially when the other side had weapons.

Taking a quick look, these civilians, it seemed at most only three of them would be much of a threat, and Begal was wondering why he had been called out here in the first place.

"I'm sorry to say, but this is a wasted trip. I know the situation is tough inside the city, but this base cannot accept outsiders and is for military personnel only." Begal was going to leave it at that and turn around.

"Wait!" The man shouted. "We have nowhere to go, but we aren't useless to you. We don't expect you to take us in for nothing. If you do, we will join you, do whatever you ask of us, to do whatever tasks you need from us.

"We don't just expect you to take us in. The fact that we have survived this long, with just us, must show you that we are capable in some way. On top of that, we have brought a large amount of medical supplies, and food that you can use… in this type of situation you know eventually these will become important."

Begal turned around and looked at the man one more time.

'Lately I have been meeting quite a few people with a good head on their shoulders.' Begal thought. 'His words are quite convincing, and we have more and more losses everyday. Eventually, we will have to ask the public to take up arms. The people, though, rely on the military too much and expect them to protect them at all times.

'Which is why he said what he said. The only problem is, other than the four of them I don't think the others will be of much use, but I doubt he would leave the others behind. It's a take all, or take none, type of situation.'

"It's time we start coming up with a plan. As things change we need to change as well." Begal said. "Commander, Tin take these people to the medical centre to get checked. If all is good, then I want you to take them to the training centre. Let's see what these people can do.

"As for you." Begal said, looking at the man in front. "What's your name?"

"Ryan, sir! And thank you."

Ryan, Cody and his fellow survivors had been invited into the camp as their next safety spot, but they weren't the only ones that had arrived at their destination. In the base, in one of the large tents, there was a team of five, that were in thick suits, wearing large helmets on their heads covering up most of what they looked like.

Standing in front of the five was what looked like a normal soldier, who was nervous with sweat running down his face and peaking over his shoulder.

"This was the best I could do to get you in here. Luckily, there is a lot going on so the base is distracted. If anyone asks, you are EOD specialists. It gives you an excuse to wear those costumes you understand." The man asked.

"What is going to happen to us… if we get caught?" Kelly asked.

"Well, based on the fact that we are sneaking around like this, we will probably be shot to death, but at least we're in the right place." Kun replied.

"Don't worry too much, we can take a few bullets." Pink joked, although it was only to lighten the mood as they were in for a serious task ahead of them.
