Chapter 248: Controlling the city



The group of six, led by Zain, had arrived at the school with relative ease. It hadn't been attacked during the time that Zain had spent at the Reborn group. He knew this because it was his territory, and each day he would gain experience points for each of the territories he owned.

They set up base, sleeping areas, as well as a canteen in the school where they could store the special food they would require. Without the Reborn group, they would have to do everything themselves, but they were used to this by now.

Watching everyone working so hard, Zain was thinking about defenses and where to go next.

"This place is the perfect place. It's large in size and has a gate at the front. It allows me to control a large number of zombies, and I can use them to keep guard as well. Even the inside of the school is equipped with everything we need, as well as a CCTV room.

"On top of that, out of all the locations that I have, this place hasn't been attacked once. I guess the fact that many believe there will be a large number of zombies here, no one has tried to raid it. The effort vs reward just doesn't make sense."

With all of this, the group had settled in rather quickly. If they thought they would get a few days' rest, compared to when they were at the Reborn group, they were wrong because Zain worked them even harder than Sarah did.

At the Reborn group, different leaders would go out at different times for missions, giving them turns to rest, but now Zain was in charge and was taking on everything himself. The expansion job had started. In the area of the city they were in, they cleared out the houses, the streets of zombies, and then the apartments nearby.

At times, just clearing out a house wouldn't increase their territory, not until they cleared out a whole street and then the area would be added to the system. However, clearing out the area didn't mean just killing all of the zombies.

In fact, Zain wanted the zombies to remain there; otherwise, it would make it more difficult for him to find zombies to use that he could control. Which was why, at times, with his own horde, he would just push the zombies out of their territory. This seemed to be enough for the place to be accepted as his. All of this continued for a month, and slowly the areas were becoming his.

Back at the school, the whole group was in a classroom, and a map of the city had been pinned to the wall. Skittle was standing up while the rest were sitting down.

"The areas that we have taken care of, and that now have Zain controlling them with his zombies, is this section here. We have remained safe and have suffered little in the way of attacks for a number of reasons," Skittle explained.

"For one, there are no routes that lead outside of the city. There are no train stations, airports, or any form of transportation apart from a road, which has pretty much been blocked by the military.

"At the same time, the area was known for having already been taken over by the zombies and was also heavily raided when all this mess started. Essentially, people have already moved out of this area, so to them, there was nothing left behind, but now, this is where we run into a bit of a problem.

"There are major groups that control certain areas of the city. The subway station located east of the city leads to the small town just by the set-up military border. We know that the Reborn group keeps a close eye here, and we have been avoiding it for a while.

"Then there is the area to the south. Although their territory is small, the military has a stronghold here, and many humans know about this. From what we know, most of the general public are travelling southward.

"Lastly, we have the group that controls the majority of the city, the Zombie Hunters. They have expanded the quickest and grown in strength compared to all the rest."

"What about the area in the centre and the demons?" Kun asked. "Do we know where they are?"

"The area in the centre is considered a danger zone. From those who have travelled through the centre rather than through the outskirts of the city, they say there is a high concentration of evolved zombies there.

"This is currently part of the problem. You see, all groups know this, so they have been pushing territory to the right and left of them, rather than taking over the centre of the city. For the military, this means they will soon be pushing into our territory and the Reborn group's territory.

"For the Zombie Hunters, it means they will also be pushing into the Reborn territory and ours. There is a problem that our group and the Reborn group have though, that the others don't."

Skittle paused there as if he was waiting for someone to say the answer, but no one did, to which he just shook his head.

"It's the fact that no one knows we exist. To both groups, we just look like more troublesome zombies. So they will continue to push without a second thought. Which is why we need to make a decision about what to do.

"Do we wait for one of our areas to be attacked, do we attack one of their areas first, or do we push toward the centre? As for your question about the demons, our guess is they are among every group, hiding."

Thinking about Skittle's suggestion, Zain didn't want to attack the military. There were those that they knew, and they didn't seem to know any better; their goal was pretty much the same as theirs.

There was even a chance that they could have another meeting and try to work out some agreement. The Zombie Hunters, their group was too large to get into a scuffle with right now. So the best thing to do was enter the centre, getting stronger and bringing more allies to their horde.

[Warning: Westfield Farm is under attack.]

"The farm… it's under attack," Zain said, standing up.

Looking at the map and the closest area that was close to it, they could all see that it was most likely the Zombie Hunters.
