Chapter 255 An Attack
The five who had traveled out had decided to return, and they had done as Zain suggested. The other hunters had been killed. An attempt had been made by Zain at turning them, but they had all failed, so there were no new super zombie allies on their side.
The single person that had been kept alive was Benny, the man with the large axes. They had been observing him enough and witnessed him in close call situations to know that his power had to be that of super strength. It was one of the more basic superhuman traits but was also extremely useful.
However, Skittle, Pink, and Zain\'s own strength outmatched Benny\'s, which was why they were confident in bringing him back with them. Eventually, they had arrived back at the school.
"What in the world is this? All of these zombies in this area, and you even have them standing by the school gate." Benny gasped. "Cleve was right, one of you, you can control zombies, can\'t you?"
"I think it would be best you keep quiet." Kun replied. "We will be the ones asking you questions in the end."
"Yeah, you already killed the rest, and I know that\'s the only reason I\'m alive."
Walking through the front concrete playground area, one individual, Dab, came running toward them with a large smile on his face. He was energetic that they had all arrived back.
"Whoa, what is this? Is that a Zombie Hunter? Why did you bring him here?"
Zain continued to walk forward, with Skittle by his side.
"Come on, Dab, I\'ll explain to you," Kun said, wrapping his arm around his shoulder. "Let me paint you a nice picture. The fierce Zombie Hunters…"
The other three left to relax, rest up, and do what they usually did. They also had taken the brains out of the Zombie Hunters, and they needed to store them as soon as possible. This was still something that none of them had overcome but just got better at eating less of.
While they were doing that, a classroom was picked, filled with desk chairs and the blackboard at the back. Zain and Skittle offered Benny a seat, and they took a seat as well.
"What is this? Is this going to be some type of good cop, bad cop while you interrogate me?" Benny scoffed.
"Good cop, bad cop? Do I look like someone who would do such things?" Zain said.
Zain stared right into Benny\'s eyes, and memories of how easily he had killed all the others had come into his mind. He couldn\'t help but gulp or back off when talking to Zain.
"What I want to know is how many people are in the Zombie Hunters at the moment, and what do you plan to do with the current situation?" Zain asked.
"I\'ll answer because I want no pain," Benny replied. "The Zombie Hunters are made up of core and non-core members. Non-core members have no sign of powers and help run the day-to-day stuff. We don\'t take anyone in who can\'t work though.
"So not the sick nor the elderly. There is an exception if one is a core member, then we are willing to look after their family. Their numbers are probably around 2000 or so. Since I told you about the non-core members, I\'m guessing you have an idea of what the core members are already.
"It\'s those that have supernatural powers. At the moment, I would say there are around 1,000 of us, but the number is growing as more and more non-core members find out they have powers."
The numbers didn\'t sound like a lie with how many people there were in the city. One thing that was clear was that the Zombie Hunters were a bigger force than the military and most likely more powerful with all the power users.
"Your second answer is obvious, to rid the world of zombies, we will do so one area at a time, but it\'s important that we don\'t lose our lives, so we are doing it slowly. Our numbers are growing anyway."
When Benny said those words, his tone of voice changed slightly. He was generally a confident person, and Zain had noticed the difference when he spoke this time.
"Have you been getting attacked by the Demons more these days… is there a reason why you\'re expanding and looking into new areas?" Zain asked.
Benny scrunched up his face.
"We are having more attacks than usual but nothing we can\'t handle."
From this information, it was most likely that the Demons were aware of the situation as well. They wouldn\'t allow the Zombie Hunters to get stronger, which was why they were experiencing more attacks.
The reason why Zain\'s territory was untouched was that it didn\'t look like they had any territory at all. It was just zombies roaming around the place.
"You guys look calm as ever," Benny suddenly said. "It\'s amazing how there are zombies like you guys, ones who can speak, talk, act just like us, but you aren\'t like us, and you control them right out there.
"Do you think you\'re safe here?"
Skittle didn\'t answer, but he did think they were safe. He knew that the Zombie Hunters would retaliate, but because of Zain\'s power, he knew when other territories had been entered and were being attacked, so they would have time to prepare.
"I can see it on your face. You know, you made a big mistake, letting it slip out that your base was a school. How many schools do you think are in this area, 5, 6 maybe… if you ask me, it\'s only a matter of time."
It didn\'t take the Zombie Hunters long at all, at that moment in time, Skittle and Zain could see it from the window. Inside the school\'s playground, in front of the gate, a mass of around forty or so Zombie Hunters had been teleported in.
"F*ck," Zain said, looking at the situation.
