On their journey, they occasionally stop at shops to pick up various items, from clothes, toys, musical instruments, to wall hangings.
“You are all in great spirits.” Cody chuckled at Helena, nearly buried by those stuffs in the back seat.
Helena answered. “Well, I don’t know why I’m like this either. Maybe because of our experience with Stella, we are passionate about teaching them to be human.”
Gwen, who was sitting in the front seat, grimaced. “But I think we went too far.”
“That’s not a problem. Mother appreciates what you are doing.” One of Cody’s zombies replies.
They proceeded to Jane’s place.
“But I got curious. Jane says they are very far from behaving like normal humans.” Helena mutters as Cody drives. “Aren’t they connected to Jane’s mind? Why doesn’t Jane provide adequate information to their brains?”
Cod
“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
After the Jane’s children arrived at the farm, they immediately received teaching from Cody, Helena, and Gwen. During their journey, they collected various other DVDs, so they got suitable material for reference on being human.Apart from that, they also carry out various activities such as playing games, taking care of livestock and gardens, and so on. That’s way, they would have developed the habit of behaving like humans.Cody didn’t think he would enjoy it so much.He also did not have to patrol. Jane’s other children did that job, so Cody could focus on teaching.Despite that, he still had to fight the fighters that Jane sent occasionally and kill other zombies to increase levels.That’s the part that Cody hates.While walking, Cody checked his system menu. Just a little more and he will level up. Even though over two weeks had passed since he returned there, his progress was not promising.But he had expected tha
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
Cody drives his car towards the stadium with several special zombies. Meanwhile, Gwen and Helena are on guard at the farm as usual.In the parking lot of the place, he found Jane’s other children. It was something he already knew beforehand. Jane wanted to send her other children as messengers, apart from those guarding Cody.Yet, Cody encountered a surprise. An electric truck also parked at that location. Several people around the vehicle flinched in surprise when they saw Jane’s children. Some have even taken up arms.“Hold on, hold on.” Cody tried to intervene. “These zombies come in peace, guys.”“Cody?” Emily, who was also standing near the truck, gasped. “You are their friend?”“I know they attacked your colony once, but that doesn’t happen anymore, right?” Cody spoke to his friend. “It’s okay. There’s no need to worry. I’ve asked them not to attack yo
“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
Carrying his own body, Cody left the building with his two other zombies. Several people had confronted him and were pointing their guns.However, Cody didn’t stop running. The bullets that hit his body bounced off, although they still left dents.He rammed at those who didn’t have time to dodge without caring if they flew high.At first Cody thought about going to his own car, but he knew maybe they have deflated the tires or use other methods so that the vehicle cannot move.So, Cody turned into a large garage that was used to store cars in the community.There, he found Shawn and several other mechanics working on an electric car.“Cody?” Shawn gasped. “Since when were you here!?”“Excuse me!” Cody knocked them out with some slaps, and let some of them escape. Not that he wanted to do that, but by knocking them unconscious, Akira wouldn’t accuse them of helping Cody.After taking the gun
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
The days passed, and finally, winter was over. Cody has restored consciousness from all the zombies he captured. Apart from helping them accept their situation, he also took part in teaching Jane’s children who would become human.Despite that, he still leveled up, but he only increased two levels, so now he was level 27.[Enhanced Speed: Your zombies can run at higher speeds][Enhanced Strength Lv2: The zombies you control will be 3 times stronger]Because he was too busy and he needed a lot of experience points, he couldn’t increase his level more than that. But that doesn’t mean he regrets it. He enjoyed the existing peace and recent activities.Yes, there are occasional small conflicts caused by newly awakened zombies. They still feel depressed because they could not accept the new condition of their bodies, so they are prone to getting angry and starting fights. However, Cody can always solve it.Cody was helping sever
