While roaming through the streets, apartment buildings, and even the university, there was something that Zain noticed, and he was sure it had become obvious to anyone who had traversed through the area. Most of the dead bodies that were on the ground were of humans rather than the undead, such as the zombies.
It was easy to tell because when one gets turned, their skin will turn slightly pale, almost a shade of grey. The Reborn didn't have this characteristic, but the other traits gave them away. However, with Skittle, it was easy to tell that he was a Zombie due to his pale skin.
It was clear that not many zombies were being killed. This was because in a short period, at least where they were currently, the Zombies seemed like the majority, and they didn't attack each other.
This was why the scene in the restaurant was so bizarre for all of them. Usually, where there were dead zombies, there would be people too, but something definitely was not right for there to be this many zombie corpses.
"What do you think happened?" Pink asked as she started to step in the few spaces on the ground, heading forward, ignoring Shark's prior warning.
"It's most likely the military, right?" Kun asked. "I mean, they're the only ones that would have this amount of firepower to even do something like this. Normal people can at most hunt a few zombies, even that would need a lot of luck."
Ever since seeing the pile of zombie corpses, apart from his first words where he said they should all get out of there, Shark hadn't said anything else and remained silent while looking around. But suddenly, he started moving and headed to one of the two staircases at the side of the restaurant leading up to the second floor.
"Where are you going? Should we follow?" Fingers asked.
"I'm just checking something out," Shark replied. "But just to be safe, all of you get ready to leave this place if you hear anything worse, and don't head upstairs for the time being."
'',
Although the others didn't question Shark's strange actions, Zain, however, had been wary of the former since the beginning, so he was more interested in solving this thing himself. He knelt down to one of the bodies and inspected them one by one.
After looking at a few, Kun had also eventually come over and began to do the same, or at least he made it look like he had done the same.
"So, what do you think?" He whispered to Zain.
Zain lifted one of the dead Zombie's bodies and rolled them over. A large gap was missing from their shoulder and other parts of their body. The main noticeable thing was the missing portion of its head.
"None of these wounds look like they came from bullets, at least not from the conventional ones anyway. If it was the military or some type of police force, then they would have used guns to kill this many, right?
"Even if they didn't have these markings, they don't look like they were made from some type of blunt weapon. At the same time, there are no bullet shells, guns, dropped magazines or even holes in the restaurant walls that would indicate a shootout had occurred. It's almost as if a beast of some sort has killed them." Zain explained his conclusion.
Kun gulped listening to this. For him, the unknown was scarier than the known. If it was the military, then they knew what to avoid and how to be safe, but he was trying to understand what exactly Zain was saying here, and he didn't like it at all.
"Thanks for all that information." Kun scratched the back of his head. "But I was actually talking about the leader Shark. I mean, don't you think he's strange? Like as in, not you strange but stranger than a normal person."
Zain was quite surprised that Kun had brought this up because he thought he was the only one that had noticed the leader's strange actions, and then it clicked in his head.
'
"You don't trust him, do you?" Zain asked. "But you are scared of him as well. He's a strong person, and due to his mysterious background, you are worried about what will happen if you choose to leave or press him for answers. Now I know why you wanted me to come back. You wanted someone who could push up to him and find out the truth."
Kun chuckled and turned his head around to look at the others.
"Man, you are too smart for your own good, you know? You see, Shark has looked after us well, but the others haven't known him for as long as I have.
"I was the first to meet up with him. Look, you do strange things as well, but I don't get these weird feelings from you, but Shark, he's always doing strange stuff and not involving us.
"Like collecting crystals and using the radio communicator to talk to someone. He always seems to be hiding something from us," Kun added.
All of these things, Zain had noticed as well, so he understood Kun's feelings, and in the world of survival, one needed to know, even if the other person was hiding things when to use people to their advantage.
"I wouldn't worry so much. Shark needs the group, and he knows that, which is why he is doing everything he can to help you. You don't have to worry about him so much if it stays that way. Also, don't worry about the other thing either, I will eventually get to the bottom of it." Zain replied, standing up.
He then headed to the restaurant entrance and was ready to push open the double doors to the other side. Not too far from where the restaurant was, was the meteorite and all the other destroyed buildings around it. However, before he could, a sudden shout attracted everyone's attention.
"Everyone!" It was Shark from the second floor, "It was as I thought! The one that attacked this place, and killed all these zombies, was a Demon or maybe a group of demons. We have to leave this place right now!"
