There was one big question that bothered Cody. Why did anti-Zeno release Freya and only bring his son?If he really wanted to use hostages to get Cody to do what he wanted, wouldn’t it have been better to use Cody’s wife and son? And why did anti-Zeno choose Helena and Emily?None of this made sense to Cody.For the umpteenth time, Randy looked at the two special zombies sitting in the back seat.“I don’t know if this is true or not.” The officer said. “But I feel like since they got into this car, I feel like my memories from that time are coming back to my brain more and more.”“I’m sorry, Randy.” Still driving, Cody sighed. “For everything I did in those days.”Randy was silent for a moment. “Honestly, I understand why you did all that. I was the first to challenge you to a life and death duel... Well, now I’m talking nonsense, even though I’m starting to believe it did happen... By the way, where are we going?”Cody continued driving to the coordinates indicated by Luna, who had c
Nigel jumped and tried to hit Cody, but he blocked it with his sword hand. There was no resistance at all. Cody just blocked and avoided Nigel’s attacks. He didn’t give any counterattacks at all.Instead of talking, Nigel continued to give his father a combination of punches. As time went on, the barrage of punches got faster and one landed on Cody’s chest.Cody’s body flew and hit the wall of a house until it was destroyed.Actually, Cody knew he could easily win against Nigel. His son had not been trained in fighting and had no experience with it. Nigel’s strength was also not compared to Cody’s.But Cody also knew. Nigel used his status as Cody’s son to defeat his father. Cody would not be able to fight his own son.This was much harder than fighting Gwen.So, instead of fighting his son again, Cody jumped out of the house. Several special zombies came at him and formed a floating vehicle.He left at high speed using the vehicle after catching Randy’s body, which was already outsid
Cody, Randy, and Luna sat in a conference room in Zeno’s town. In front of them were several high-ranking officials in that place. One of them was Tia, someone who had met Cody in that town when he was doing the third test.“Maybe your ability to detect signals from Zeno’s cells has disappeared… No, I don’t think it’s disappeared, but it has decreased drastically.” Tia spoke after a long discussion. “You also feel that there is no other way to free your son, right?”With trembling hands, Cody massaged his forehead. He had to accept it as true. From his observations, he concluded that there would be no way to bring Nigel back.Luna and Randy just looked at Cody in silence.“You guys have experience in conducting various researches. Even Zeno’s cells were born in this place.” Cody didn’t give up. “Do you all really have no way? I will help you all by making the commanders survive. They are an extraordinary asset to this town, right?”The higher-ups exchanged glances, except for Tia, who
Nigel spread new symbols in conspicuous places, so it attracted media attention. Cody found those things and asked his friends in Zeno’s town to interpret them.This time, Cody came alone without Randy to a barren land with hills around them. The place was remote from human civilization, making it ideal for a big fight.Cody stopped his car a few meters away from Nigel, then got out.“You took quite a while to get here, Dad.” Nigel said.Cody looked around. “You didn’t bring your friends anymore, huh?”The special zombies Cody did not find other people protecting Nigel from a distance.“However, I still have a heart, Dad. They are people who are loyal to me,” Nigel explained. “I don’t want to let more victims fall from them.”Cody didn’t know if Nigel was genuine in saying that, or if he wanted to make Cody softer in fighting him.“I also have one question, Dad.” Nigel turned his fists into diamonds, a sign that he was ready to fight. “Why did you use your real body to come here? I he
“Since that incident, he just locked himself in his room and drank.” With a sigh, Freya led Randy and Luna to her husband’s room. “But I can’t blame him. He’s been through a lot.”“We understand, Freya. Maybe he needs time.” Randy glanced at Luna, who was wearing a face mask and sunglasses. “If it wasn’t urgent, we wouldn’t have come here.”“Well, I actually appreciate you guys coming here. Who knows, you two might make him come back to his senses.” Freya opened the door to a messy room.They found Cody sitting in the corner of the room with an unshaven face. His right hand was holding a half-empty vodka. Meanwhile, other empty bottles were scattered around him.“Damn, you like a hobo, Cody.” Randy grimaced, seeing his friend’s condition.Cody took a sip of his drink. “I told you, I’ll save them, but I still need time.”Cody’s voice sounded like barely audible babbling.Randy glanced at Luna and interrupted. The woman took off her mask and sunglasses. Instantly, Freya gasped while cov
Cody, Luna, and Randy were at a military base on the seashore. After being escorted near the warship, a uniformed man who seemed to have a high rank approached them.“My name is Kevin Orton, who will accompany all of you while on this ship.” That man spoke. “Well, I’ve met Miss Luna, but this is my first time meeting you two.”“Well, I’m Randy Owens.” Randy grimaced as he shook that man’s hand. “Honestly, I don’t know what I’m doing by following Cody. I even took my precious leave…. I just went with the flow, I guess.”“Okay…” Kevin raised an eyebrow and then turned to shake Cody’s hand. “So, you’re the main character in this show, huh?”Cody looked at Kevin’s face, which looked older than he last remembered. But that was natural. If his age was still the same as before, he wouldn’t be able to get this high rank in the navy.“Would you like to reveal a secret from your past that you don’t know, Mr. Orton?” Cody smiled as he shook Kevin’s hand. “With that, you might feel like your life
Cody kept his promise by making Stella’s body fly from somewhere and put it in a secret room. As soon as Kevin entered the room, he froze for a while.“Hey, it’s been a long time since we met, Stella.” The navy general smiled faintly at the woman. “Are you feeling okay?”Stella didn’t answer and just stared at Kevin with a blank expression. Cody watched it, and Randy turned away because he couldn’t stand to see it.“You’re not usually this quiet.” Kevin touched the woman’s cheek. She still didn’t respond. She didn’t even blink at all. “I want us to be like before, Stella. I want to chat about unimportant things with you and laugh together. Ah, I also want to play soccer with you again.”Unable to take it anymore, Kevin fell down and cried. Finally, Stella gave a response. But it was only that she lowered her head and looked at Kevin.There was still no light of life shining in her eyes.A tough person with a high rank like Kevin could be like that. No wonder he said he wanted to prepa
Cody has tried various ways. From making a vehicle with reinforced armor, making a creature that looks like a big fish, using another route, to the ridiculous thing like using a large peace flag. However, all failed. The light beam always destroyed whatever Cody made to come to the kingdom.It lasted for months and, of course, made everything worse. Many former commander candidates had died because their bodies could no longer survive.In a hospital in Zeno’s town, Cody went to a room. He found Randy sitting near the bed.Luna was lying on the bed and she didn’t look like a human anymore. Almost all of her skin was peeled off and the only remaining limb was her left leg. She was unconscious, with various tubes connected to her body, including a breathing apparatus.Cody didn’t dare say anything to Randy. After all, Cody was one of the most responsible people in this project. He had to get a sample of the remnant in the kingdom.“Please, Cody.” Randy spoke without looking at that man.
