“Let them stay at your place until they become like humans.” Jane continued. “It seems like you guys are more skilled at teaching that.”Cody continued his activities of extracting the face and scalp. “Well, Stella is living proof, of course.”“I will certainly provide compensation for that.” Jane shrugged.“I want you to keep sending your children to fight against me.” Cody remains focused on his work. “But apart from that, I hope you also send some special ones to increase my level. However, I ask that you send them regularly.”Cody’s uncertain about the zombies-turned-humans staying duration in his home. That could take a long time. It’s preferable for him to request periodic payments instead of a lump sum.Jane nodded. “Well, let me think about that first.”“And don’t forget, you need to protect your children, right?” A wide smile formed

Cody saw something descend after the flying figure had disappeared in the distance. In the beginning, he mistook it for an orange ball.However, over time, he noticed it was a small parachute with something tied to the bottom.“I’ll take that.” Cody said. “Don’t let anyone get close, especially Gwen, Helena, and their students.”Instead of running to catch that thing, Cody possesses one of his zombies, then runs in the direction the thing is likely to land.He didn’t know what was in that thing. It could be dangerous. It might be something explosive or poisonous.Cody catches the object attached to a parachute - a biscuit box. After untying it, Cody opened it.A piece of paper inside the biscuit box. Cody took it and then unfolded it.“Invitation to meet us at Blue Fox Stadium in three days, at noon. We’ll give you an offer that’s too worth passing up. This is for your safety, as well as a

“Maybe your mother will think about confronting Akira’s community after this happens. You guys want to make sure if they choose King’s side,” Cody said fast. “But I beg you, don’t do that yet. Let me talk to them first. I will persuade them to join your mother instead.”The Jane’s zombie tilted its head. “You have a strong bond with them, huh?”“Yeah, some of them are my friends. I won’t deny that.” Cody admitted.“What if they choose the king’s side?”Cody closed his eyes. He already knew the question was coming. Even though he hated to answer it, he still did. “Then they will become my enemies, too.”The Jane’s zombie fell silent, and Cody made his expression as firm as possible. He must not show the slightest sign of hesitation.“Our mother said she really appreciates your loyalty.” The Jane’s children responded.Co

Arriving at the farm, Cody told Gwen and Helena everything. The two women could only remain silent. Helena massaged her forehead, while Gwen looked like she had to cry.“Forgive me.” Cody’s lips trembled so much. “I couldn’t have prevented all of this from happening.”Gwen grabbed Cody’s hand. “This is not your fault. Everything that happens to us has nothing to do with your actions. You just do what you feel you need to do.”“But in order to save ourselves, we might sacrifice many people.” Cody felt emotions welling up in his chest. “Maybe Jane won’t attack Akira’s community if nothing happens in the future. But if the King attacks, then Jane will target that community.”“Yeah, because they have an affiliation with the king and have a clear location,” Helena joined in. “Meanwhile, we don’t know where the king is yet.”Again, a knock on the

Three days after that speech, Cody’s farm had not yet received an attack from King’s side. Despite that, they remain on standby. Apart from carrying out daily activities, they continue to carry out defense training. As the training finished, evening approached, and they pursued other activities. Some of Jane’s zombies practice guitar with Gwen. There are also those who learn to paint with one of the awakened zombies. The awakened zombies also do lots of activities, from playing cards, just chatting, watching movies in one hut, and so on. Cody felt overjoyed that his home feels lively, and he hopes it will have a lasting effect. About to join to watch the movie, Cody’s attention was caught in the distance. Stella and Kevin sat on a borrowed a chair from a park, watching the sunset. Cody wonders they’re talking about. They were quite far from him. “Do you know what happened to them?” Helena lined up with Cody. Cody smiled as both individuals laughed.
