Level up Zombie

Based on what Zain knew from the system, he himself was yet to be a stage two Zombie. For one, he had no special abilities apart from being able to control other zombies. Although, then again, he was different to the other Zombies, so it was most likely that he worked differently compared to them as well.

Still, the system had confirmed that this was a stage 2 zombie, which meant that it was most likely to be at the same level as the Spitter. Yet, they looked completely different. Looking at its body, Zain felt the need to call it a Titan.

[A name has been attached to the Stage 2 Zombie 'Titan']

'So we have a Spitter and a Titan. I wonder how many stage 2 zombies there are, and if I'm guessing correctly, there will be those above stage 2 as well. If they evolve like me, it's too early for that to come yet.' Zain thought.

"A big one, 9 o'clock!" One of the soldiers shouted. Immediately, the two closest turned and started to fire their guns. The bullets went through the Zombies in front of them, but when they hit the Titan, they had immediately fallen to the ground.

'It's skin is even harder than the Spitter, I should have guessed though.' Zain thought.

The two continued to fire their bullets at the Titan, who continued to move towards them. It was slow in its moment, but at the same time, they weren't slowing it down, and it would only be a matter of time before it got to them.

"He's not going down. We need something stronger!" The soldier shouted.

Instead of focusing bullets on the Titan, they continued to fire at the Zombies around it. Meanwhile, one of the soldiers had moved from his sandbag to head back into the building.

"Cover the front and do a good job, or I'll shoot you myself." The soldier ordered the policemen.

Doing as they said, they concentrated their handguns at the front, but the police were a worse shot, and more Zombies were coming to the front.

At the same time, seeing the Titan almost reach them, the police changed targets and started to fire at the Titan. Bullets hit its head but did nothing as they fell to the floor.

"What are you doing!" The soldier shouted. "Fire at the Zombies!"

At that moment, the Titan was right in front of the sandbag and had lifted its giant fist. It threw it down, and the soldiers rolled out of the way. The fist destroyed the sand bags, chucking sand everywhere, and the fist pounded into the ground, creating cracks in the road.

"If that thing hits us, it's going to kill us! We have to get out of here!" The chief of police that was with them said. They started to move back, forgetting about the front, and at the same time, Zombies were starting to come into the perfect barrier wall that had been created.

The soldier towards the front stayed at his post, continuing to fire at them all, backing away slowly, but one of the Zombies that were crawling on the ground grabbed his leg, pulling him, and immediately the horde started to consume him.

"You useless bastards!" One of the soldiers shouted. The police and the soldiers had nowhere to run. The armoured vehicle they had arrived in was on the side of the Titan, and there was no way they were getting past that.

The Titan started to move forward again, heading towards them, but at that moment, something flew past their heads and hit the Titan right in the body, exploding on impact. The soldiers turned around and could see their Commander had an RPG on his shoulder.

"Haha, that's our commander!" The soldiers cheered. "But the Commander knew it might not be enough to take out the giant Titan.

It was already back on its feet. Part of its hard skin had been ripped off, showing a fleshy muscle tissue interior, but it was alive. From his belt, he pulled a few pins and threw what looked like a small can toward the Titan.

"Clear the way!" The Commander ordered.

As the items thrown touched the floor, they exploded into flames, lighting up the Titan. They weren't grenades but incendiary bombs instead.

Still not sure that the Titan would die, the Commander grabbed his rifle that was by his side and continued to fire bullet after bullet towards the Titan, and eventually, someone in the area received a notification.

[Quest failed]

[Stage 2 Zombie has been defeated]

Watching everything play out, Zain was left stunned.

'That Stage 2 Zombie, if we met that instead of the Spitter in the supermarket. It would have been impossible to kill. A grenade launcher, bombs and guns, and it still took all of that to take it out.

'But then again, maybe we would have been able to outrun it. It was incredibly slow. I guess each stage 2 type zombie has its advantages and disadvantages.'

There was something playing in Zain's mind, although he didn't have to worry about the Titan, he did try to think how he would have dealt with it, if he had been the one to come across it.

In the end, the Zombies that had surrounded them were still gathering.

"Everyone move out! It's a dud!" The Commander shouted.

The soldiers got in an arrow-like formation and started to fire their guns as they went toward their vehicle. They all got on one by one in the back and continued to fire.

"Wait, what about us!" The police chief shouted.

"You…you abandoned your post. You couldn't even do the job you were asked. You're a liability, which means you are useless to us." The soldier replied as the vehicle drove off.

It didn't take long, even with their hand guns, for the rest of the Zombies to finish off the policemen who had been abandoned.

'This world…has become cruel.' Zain thought. Waiting for the Zombies to eventually clear the area, he saw his chance.

'Let's see what they were trying to get.'

[New quest received]

[Find a meteorite]

'Oh, this is nice. I was already doing that anyway.'
