Level up Zombie - Chapter 165: A Hard Quest

Chapter 165: A Hard Quest

Due to the sound of the loud crash of the car, the others were unable to hear the words that had come out of Pink’s mouth. Either way, they wouldn’t understand what they meant anyway.

Seeing them, she thought something was strange and Dave was right, how could one have such confidence in the face of a gun. The only person she had seen have that level of confidence before was Zain and that was because he was a Zombie.

Usually, Pink would rely on her nose for such situations but due to the distance they were from her, and also the fact that there was military in front of them, the scents were confusing and she was unable to tell who was human and who wasn’t but without a doubt, now it was clear.

The crashed car had flipped the military vehicle and had crushed a couple of the soldiers, but a few of them had gotten out quite quick, and started firing away towards the one in the american football outfit.

“Get that monster, it must be one of those evolved Zombies, it can just speak that’s all. There is no need to worry, fire!” The man shouted as he hid behind the military vehicle and fired away.

“Oh, this one has a big mouth, too bad you are not good enough for my collection” a high pitched voice said which started to laugh, the second the man looked up, all he could see was a clown, and that was the last thing he could see as his head was held up in the air, next to a bloody scythe that had been used.

The clown zombie had jumped down from the vehicle, and swung its scythe again, letting the head fall to the ground. It had hit two of the soldiers by their waists, causing their top halves to fall to the ground.

It was done so effortlessly, with next to no resistance at all, and now it was hard for them to tell which one was more dangerous. The football player or the clown. Seeing this, Pink felt like it was more than likely that all of them were dangerous.

“Shouldn’t you be helping them?” Andy loudly whispered.

“What and get ourselves killed!” Cody shouted.

“But we have guns, even if they are special zombies, a bullet to the head will kill them, right? They don’t know you are here and, if we get rid of them, we can finally be somewhere safe.” Andy replied.

Brandon wasn’t so sure about that, just like Pink, he also feared what the other two, who had yet to join in, could do. The only reason why he hadn’t signalled for them to move yet, was because they had the high ground.

While on top of the vehicles it would be easy for them to spot the group running away.

‘Will the others join the fight, if they do, then it will be our chance to run away. If not… then as Andy said, maybe we stand more of a chance fighting with them.

‘Or we can risk running away now, and them not caring about us.’

It was a decision that needed quick action but just as he thought about this, the gladiator looking man jumped down from cars and walked forward. As he did, some of the soldiers started to shoot toward him, but lifting his hand they would hit his skin and fall to the floor.

Suddenly, the footballer picked up the man shooting and slammed him to the ground, breaking every bone in his body.

As the gladiator man continued to walk, it looked like he was sniffing the air, like some type of dog.

“I can smell it… there are more people.” The gladiator man said.

“Run!” Brandon shouted, as he popped up and started to shoot toward the gladiator man. He was a good shot and all of the bullets were aimed at the head, but just like before he lifted his hand blocking them.

The others didn’t hesitate as they saw Pink was the first to run, and she was running ahead of the others despite her mother on her back. Cody, who had a gun in his hand, would turn around once in a while and fire as well, because he knew what Brandon had done.

He was staying behind, giving them cover fire, so they could get away.

At that moment, all of the soldiers had been killed mostly by the clown, as it came back to join the gladiator by his side with his scythe full of blood and his mouth partly as well.

“Oh, there’s more that were hiding. It’s a good thing we have your nose!” the clown said.

“Rive! Stop them!” the gladiator shouted.

Running towards the nearest car, the footballer lifted it up above his head and continued to run forward as he hurled it. It went quite far in the streets and landed directly in front of the runners.

Not just one car was thrown though, as soon many started to fall from the sky, landing in the way of the others. For fear of being hit, they turned around, but soon realised that the cars had now formed another blockade.

“We can try climbing over the cars, but I have a feeling that he could have just as easily hit us with the cars as well.’ Pink thought. ‘They’re trapping us… they want to play with us, like a sick game.’

In the hospital, Zain had woken up a few moments ago, and a ding from his system was heard as a message had been received.

[A new quest has been received]

[Your party member ‘Pink’ is in trouble]

‘Oh, the party system is still active?’ Zain thought.

[Save your party member]

[Reward: Platinum card]

‘A… platinum quest, and thats just for saving Pink. That must mean they are in really big trouble.’
