Level up Zombie-Chapter 208 The Goal Of The Military

Zain was stuck in the specially crafted vehicle for a while, as he continued to hear the sound of many footsteps, helicopters and perhaps more. It was as clear as day that he had made it to an Army base.

'Based on the state of the city, I thought the Army would have already dissolved into nothing. They didn't seem to be doing any evacuations of any sorts.' Zain thought. 'Yet, a base like this, to still be operating with this much power.'

It seemed like Zain had underestimated humanities capabilities. Although his frame of reference was only from the games he played, where there would be next to no military help at all.

The sound of the doors being cracked open were heard and for a second the bright light had startled Zain as he lifted his hands. When he finally let them down, he could see the outside.

It was just as he expected. There were two rows of men with military weapons, and on the other end of them, was the same older gentleman that he had seen before with the grey beard and hair, only the overcoat he was wearing was a bit different this time. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

"I guess you might be surprised, but I am the general of this entire place." The old man said. "You were smart enough to call for a high ranking officer, so I believe you will be smart enough to know what that means."

A general was one of the highest positions in the army that was attainable, and the way he was speaking, it made it clear that he was actually the one that was in charge of the entire base.

Beyond the people, Zain could see a small army of around 2000 people, all with supplies, helicopters, tanks and more. The area looked intact, as if there was not a single zombie that was inside the area.

The concrete ground and the untouched barracks, everything looked well organised as well.

"My name is General Begal!" The old man shouted, and the soldiers standing by the side felt a response in their body as they stood more upright. "It's a name that you should know well, and remember around here.

"You stated that you were a living zombie. We have heard quite a few reports, but you are the first one that I have seen, and you are the first that has willingly been captured! It was a brave move on your part. You could be left in the hands of a scientist that would pull your body apart, or drain you of your blood and see what is different."

"But…" Zain said confidently. With the general so close to him, he was confident he could summon his zombies to make a wall and take the general as hostage to get himself out of here.

"But… we are more concerned with other things." Begal folded his arms. "For now, we need to test things out and see if what you are saying is the truth. You will be locked up and kept under wraps for a few days.

"We will get someone to check to see if there are any changes to your body. If there are none, then we will start with a few other tests, and see if you can be useful in other ways."

The general started to walk away at that point leaving the rest up to the others, but Zain still had a big question on his mind.

"General Begal!" Zain shouted out. "If I prove to you that I can be useful to you, in more ways than one, will you tell me why you set up borders around the city, would you tell me what you're looking for?"

The general stopped for a second, and smiled.

'So he knew we were looking for something. Even if he isn't really a walking living undead, he seems to have a smart head on his shoulders. It would be good to keep him.'

"There is something that is concentrated in this city, compared to the others, and perhaps even the whole world." Begal replied. "For now, it doesn't concern you."

It hadn't answered Zain's question but it did give him a hint.

'Is there something in this city that is attracting everyone? The weird man from before with the Chained zombies, the Reborn group that is stationed in another place not too far away, and the military as well. What's so special about this area?' Zain tried to think.

His hands were tied up in thick iron cuff's rather than the standard handcuffs, and Zain was wondering if he actually had the strength to break out of these, but continued anyway.

While the army wasn't trying to kill him, there was no problem with him staying here. They continued to take Zain with them until they had reached a separate building that was on the outskirts of the base, that seemed to be made for confining people. There were cells inside and more but before Zain reached the cell he could see several vehicles driving past him and heading somewhere, the soldiers were acting out.

"Open the doors, we have one!" They shouted.

Turning his head, Zain was taking a look. The doors were open to the base, and on the back of a large truck, they were pulling something in. When it went in further, Zain could finally see it. It was large as a car and black in colour, it was a meteorite.

'The soldiers, they were looking for the meteorites before as well.' Zain thought. 'Is that what they were looking for, but that makes no sense, why would they put a border up?'

That's when Zain noticed something different about this meteorite, because in parts of the rock, it was glowing red, and almost looked like it was breathing. As the glow got brighter and weaker like a pulse.

'This meteorite, it's active!' Zain was excited, because there was one quest, a Diamond level quest, to find an active meteorite and it had come right to him.
