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 aCody 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
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.
Cody felt that the morning air differed from usual. The awakened zombies are on alert around his house. Meanwhile, numerous Jane’s children were standing by around the farm.This is the third day since the announcement regarding the King’s minions and Akira’s community members going to Cody’s farm. As expected, they will come today.“They’ll be here in about thirty minutes.” One of Jane’s children gives her routine report. “But we can’t provide any more updates. They have killed the last scout.”“I see, thanks.” After Cody said that, the special zombie rejoined her comrades.Leaning against the sand wall, Cody took a deep breath. He hoped those zombies didn’t have troublesome powers like self-detonation and the like.When he was about to turn around to check his scope, Cody found Gwen was looking out the window next to a sniper. Cody just gave her a smile and motioned for her
“F*ck!” Cody protected his face from the dirt flying in the air. “Stay focused on the attack!”Cody wanted to lament, but the fight continued. Any carelessness would lead to doom.The minutes passed like hours for Cody. Gradually, he and his troops made the King’s troops retreat.And finally, they ran into the forest, and the Jane’s children chased them.However, Cody didn’t feel any satisfaction. He didn’t even feel relieved. He came out of hiding with his body shaking, approaching the explosion mark on the ground.He couldn’t recognize which part of Kevin’s body was anymore. One object that stands out is a metal skull and several metal plates.No wonder the zombie bomber could survive the barrage of bullets.One of the awakened zombies approached Cody. “In the meantime, we found out that the rest of our members are still alive, Cody.”Cody closed his eyes, trying to cont
