Chapter 65: A startled Zain

Zain tried to recall what had happened in his head. Looking around the room, he noticed a frightened Fingers. Pink was also still on the floor, she hadn't moved as she was witnessing the fight between the leader Shark and Zain.

‘When I saw the person touching Skittle…I thought it was the faceless man, I thought I was still hallucinating…I guess in a way I was, but the visions from that place had disillusioned me even though I have woken up.' Zain thought, touching his head.

Walking over, Shark, with no worry, placed his hand on the other's shoulder and asked with a smile.

"Are you awake now? It looks like you have gone through a lot."

"Hey, I was nearly killed, and that's all you are going to say to him?!" Fingers complained, but after a quick look from Shark, he had shut up.

"Honestly, this is a first for us. Never before has someone just collapsed like that. We didn't even know if you were alive, you know, with no heartbeat and all. So we brought you in this room for now, and your friend followed you in here." Shark explained.

It was as Zain thought. He himself had no clue why but he had practically been knocked out, and while having those visions, his body was still active in this place. From the sounds of it though, it didn't sound like a zombie thing and sounded more like his own problem.

"I'm sorry," Zain replied, looking toward Fingers. "I had a nightmare, and when I woke up, I thought I was still in it. I thought you were trying to hurt Skittle." Zain explained, but he could see from the looks on the others' faces that now they no longer trusted him the same way as they did before.

"Because of Kun, you let me in this place, and I don't want to cause you any trouble. You're a good group of people, so I'll take my leave." Zain said, already walking toward the door.

Pink felt a bit pity and down. Although it hadn't been long, this world was incredibly lonely for them. On the first day, she remembered approaching a few humans who had immediately tried to kill her.

At the moment, they didn't fit in with the zombies, nor did they with the humans. This place was essentially the only group they could stay with, the only family they had. Kicking Zain out of this place would mean he truly would be alone outside.

‘This person will be valuable to us.' Shark thought. ‘His Zombie friend was strong enough to overpower Pink, and I know how strong her kick is. Then there is Zain himself. Can he control other Zombies? On top of that, his skills. He is no amateur fighter, that's for sure.'

Thinking about all of this, Shark had to say something.

"I want you to stay," He broke the silence. "You should know it better that we stay together, and if something like what happened just now happened outside, then there is a good chance you would be dead. Sure, you have your bodyguard." Shark nodded towards Skittle. "But he won't be enough to protect you from the things out there."

"I want you to stay as well," Pink spoke up, getting off the ground and jumping to her feet. "I don't want anyone to leave. That's why I tried stopping you, even creepy Fingers. I want both of you to stay alive and remain as a part of this group."

"You already explained yourself, so don't worry, we understand, right Fingers?"

Turning back, she noticed Fingers was uncomfortable. Strangely if one just looked at his eyes, it looked like he was smiling, but he was clearly uncomfortable about the whole situation.

"I guess I shouldn't have been touching Skittle in the first place." Fingers rubbed the back of his neck. "And I know you could have killed me, but you didn't, so you did hold yourself back."

Hearing this, Zain was surprised himself. It was as if he hadn't noticed, but if he had thought the faceless man was hurting Skittle, then why didn't Zain stop him straight away? The faceless man had no problem attempting to kill him.

"Well, then it's decided, Zain, you can stay, and we will just have to be careful around you next time if you blackout again, I hope you understand," Shark said.

"Of course, if it happens again, I would leave myself anyway," Zain replied.

With the little scuffle over and everything turning out alright, Shark wanted to call a meeting and asked everyone to head over to the stage area, where he had shown the whiteboard to Zain earlier. While they walked there, Shark had a question that had been on his mind for a while. He waited until the others were ahead and pulled on Zain's sleeve a bit, indicating him to stop.

"You're a good fighter. Are you sure you're just a normal student? If you are with an organisation or a certain group, I will keep it from the others." Shark asked.

"Me?" Zain repleid. "Im just a normal unvieirsty student that likes to play games."

"Yet knows how to use guns, takes down a Stage 2 Zombie and can fight the way you did there?"

"Then let me ask you a question. It's clear you are not an office worker. All the information you have on Zombies and different types. How would you know that we can last up to 7 days without eating brains when 7 days hasn't even passed yet?" Zain asked.

This had left Shark a little quiet for a while until he eventually smiled and walked past.

"When you tell me who you really are, then I'll tell you who I am? I think that's fair, right?" Shark winked.

The only thing was, Zain wasn't lying.

When reaching the white bored, it looked like Shark was ready to say something to them all.

"In truth, I had been waiting to either train you guys up to a more capable level or for a more capable person to join our group, and since we have somewhat done both, I think we can move onto the next step." Shark explained. "There is something we seriously need to get, and that is Brains. I suggest we go out on a group outing together. It will be safer this way, and we can get to know each other better. Time is short so we should do it today."

The others looked at each other nervously. Outside was dangerous for many reasons but what they were worried about was if they needed brains, it meant they needed to look for humans.
