Chapter 228: Chosen one?

Zain was interested in finding out about everything, more so than the average person for a few reasons. He had always played games preparing for a situation like this to happen, and he knew in the back of his mind that it was very unlikely that it would happen, at least during his lifetime.

Yet, here he was in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, and perhaps an alien attack as well. Not only that but he had become a zombie himself, one that was still sound of mind and had a game like system.

When putting things together, he somewhat felt like he had been chosen to do this, but was that even possible, would that even make sense, he was just a regular student.

"Alright." Zain replied. "Let's talk about this system I have, why me? Why am I the only one with a system unlike the rest of the Reborn?"

Sarah pointed to the pendant and crystal around his neck.

"The truth is, it is all an accident that you got involved in all of this, and I apologise, although you could also say because of this accident, it saved your life."

"Accident?" Zain repeated, his previous thoughts of being chosen were somewhat dashed.

"We already had reports that a meteor strike was coming that day. The general public were unaware of this and it was decided that if they told everyone at the last moment it would just cause a wide panic.

"We had run a simulation and somewhat predicted that due to the meteor strike that the zombie outbreak would occur. In order to keep everything in one place, it was the best thing to do, to not inform anyone.

"I was in a panic myself trying to get things sorted, trying to create a safe place for people, and those that would be like us, and on top of that, I didn't have time to test my prototype, the very thing that ended up in your hands."

Zain lifted the pendant up that was no longer glowing, he did remember it seemed like the scientist had dropped it at the time, and had just continued running forward.

"This crystal is what gave me the system in the end. And judging by what you said. I guess it was what allowed me to turn into a Reborn. I guess without it, that day when I was playing games in my room, when I got bit I would have just turned into a zombie."

Sarah could see the disheartened look on the young man's face.

"It's possible that you would have still become a Reborn anyway. During our time experimenting, we realised that the effect of the virus did three things. Turn people into zombies, turn them into Reborn, or grant them some type of superpower. In all of these, the same virus is shared in the body yet the outcome was different on a person to person basis."

"Wait, are you saying all those with powers have been bit?" Zain asked.

"Not quite." Sarah replied. "The virus is also airborne, but the particles that are emitted through the air compared to a bite are harmless. For most, they are unaffected by these particles while in others it causes them to have a drastic mutation in their body, I'll be honest further research needs to be done on that part."

It did make sense to Zain and explained why superhumans were harder to turn, because they already had a variant of the virus in their body.

"So what about the system, why did you create it and why was it in the crystal?" Zain asked.

"I was researching a way to make sure those that turned into a zombie would turn into a Reborn zombie. I felt like we would have less of a problem on our hands if we did so." Sarah explained. "As for the system itself, it was to not cause the person to panic.

"A way to help them navigate their new body, their new self and a way for them to come back here, so I could help them do more research. It's not perfect of course, which is why I said it was a prototype."

There were still so many questions on Zain's mind, but he thought he would continue on with the system.

"How does it even all work though?" Zain asked. "How are quests being granted, how am I getting rewards based on these quests that allow me to do certain things. I can create weapons, summon other zombies, control other zombies, and even with Skittle.

"He was just a regular zombie before, but now he's a Reborn just like me. Then there all these visions I keep having… I pass out all of sudden, and this man is trying to kill me."

Sarah at first tried to hide the fact that she was surprised, but as she heard more and more of Zain's words it was nearly impossible for her, she was frozen in place, her eyes wide. She shook her head trying to focus and get back to the young man before he panicked at her lack of answers.

"Zain… right? First, that man that you saw in your visions, the faceless man. He was a tutorial system that I set up. It was to teach the Reborn skills that they could use to survive. That man is based on a real person, but what you are seeing is just vision.

"However… when you speak I can sense a slight fear in your voice. I will need to ask for further details of your vision if you will allow me to, so I can see if there are any bugs and such.

"As for everything else you said, with rewards creating weapons… none of that was part of the System I created."

Right now, Zain was in front of the system creator, so he thought she would have the answers… but now what was she saying to him?
