Even though it had yet to be nightfall, the group decided to head back now that they had completed their main objective: to find more brains.

They had enough to last them for at least three weeks, and the brains needed to be stored properly so they could last that long for everyone.

What the others couldn't help but keep looking at though, was the new Zombie that followed Zain, Cobra. Skittle and Cobra followed closely behind Zain, and Pink was still quite infuriated. Whenever she saw Cobra's face, she had this urge to just stab him.

Yet, at the same time, she was quite satisfied with his state after what he had done to her sister and was enjoying every moment of him being a mindless undead.

"So, any person you have turned to just happens to start following you like this?" Kun asked since Zain couldn't avoid giving a better explanation. Still, he avoided telling them anything about the System or that he wasn't a typical Reborn Zombie.

"Yeah, they listen to what I say. I thought the first one might have been a fluke, or I thought others would be like me as well, but I guess not." Zain replied.

"Wait, does that mean you were also the one that turned your friend? What happened between you guys?" Fingers asked.

Immediately, the others felt sweat coming down their face, and Zain just stared at Fingers, not answering the question. In the end, Kun kicked Fingers.

"What the hell are you asking that question for? Do you really have a death wish or something?" Kun asked.

"It seems like there are differences even amongst us, Reborns." Shark stated. "This world has changed a lot more than we originally thought. For instance, that Cobra. He is the first Superhuman I have ever seen."

'Visit (No ve (l)B i n) to read, pls!',

Hearing this, Zain was quite surprised. He knew that Shark had to be getting his information from somewhere either currently or in the past before all of this happened, but Zain had met a few superhumans before, which was why it hadn't come as a surprise to him.

'Maybe whoever he's working for doesn't know everything.' Zain thought.

Eventually, they made it back to the club. After doing the secret knock code, they were let in by Jelly on the other side. He looked to be doing well, and the place seemed just as good as how they left it earlier today.

Due to the tense situation, everyone felt like they needed to sit or lie down.

"Everyone did well today. We will rest and maybe have a break tomorrow while deciding what to do next."

The others seemed happy about this because there was a lot on their mind. The only thing was, there wasn't much for them to do, so all they could do was think.

Fingers gathered the crystals they had obtained and placed them back in the room. Kun was looking for an area to display the new weapons they got. In the meantime, he thought he might even train with a few of them, so he and Jelly were moving tables to make an open place where they could train better.

Then there was Pink, who had decided to just sit at the bar, with her fingers running through her head. Zain was keeping an eye on Shark, but it looked like the latter was keeping an eye on him as well.

Which was why he had decided to head toward Pink. It seemed like she knew something about Cody, and although Zain wanted to forget about them, he was worried and wondered how they were doing.

"Go away," Pink said. "If you're going to bring that Cobra guy here, then please just go away."

Zain shook his head and ordered Cobra to walk up to the wall on the other side of the room. Then, when the latter reached it, he ordered him to stay, and now Cobra's zombie self was just standing on the spot while staring at a wall. It was strange how obedient he was.

"You look troubled, and I know it's not my place to ask and probably not the best person to talk to, but I was just wondering what happened before I arrived at the warehouse. What did that Cobra guy do?" Zain asked.

'.',

Filled with anger and sadness, it wasn't hard for Pink to speak and get everything off her chest. After hearing about what happened, including when entering her apartment, Zain's clenched fists trembled with anger.

"I was right. These people are the worst!" Zain expressed, nearly breaking the top of the bar counter.

Pink noticed how filled with rage Zain was. It was strange after listening to a story to be...this angry. It made sense for her because of what had happened to her sister, but Zain was mainly a bystander in all this. Was he an extremely empathic person?

'I remember when he entered the warehouse, it was almost as if he had a goal. But, like Shark said, why did Zain go into that warehouse? It wasn't just because he wanted the brains. Did something happen?' Pink wondered.

Although she was curious, she was too afraid to ask in case something similar to what happened to Fingers would also end up happening to her. In the end, Zain got up and left, leaving Skittle behind to keep Pink company.

She seemed to not care where he was going, and neither did the others, as they were busy with their own things. However, Zain was heading to the last place he had seen Shark and passing by the office, he could hear the latter's voice as if he was talking to someone.

"What do you mean this wasn't part of your predictions?" He heard Shark's frustration-filled voice, "If you knew about it, then you should have informed us immediately. Anyway, have you looked into what I asked for…."

'Is he on a telephone call…no, the telephones don't work. So it must be that radio system he has in the office.'

"I see," Shark replied. "If he doesn't match anyone, I will continue to proceed cautiously. Maybe we can use him to help us."
