BXBX NOVEL Chapter 78 Superhuman
The warehouse was located up a gentle slope, so the others were unable to see what was happening right now, but they could hear the commotion inside it. It was clear that Zain had started a fight right now.
"Should we go inside and help him?" Pink asked.
"My answer remains the same," Shark shook his head. "Right now, it is too risky to fight against that superhuman. Look at the wound that he inflicted on your stomach. If we were to go in, there is a high chance that at least one of us would die."
There were multiple reasons why Pink wanted to go inside. Of course, a lot of it was driven by anger and thurst for revenge, wanting to get back at the one who had killed her sister and also to help out the one that had saved her life, but she wasn\'t sure she could do much on her own. Hence she needed Shark\'s help.
Nothing the clenched fist Shark knew he needed to say more to convince her.
"Look, why do you think he even told his friend to stay behind with us rather than take him along? His friend is strong, yet he didn\'t take him with him." Shark explained.
"I understand what you\'re saying, I really do, but then what if just the two went in there," Kun suggested. "Won\'t that give Zain a better chance at surviving?"
There was silence from Shark at the moment, as if he was debating it himself.
"Why did Zain go in there?" Shark asked. "Most likely because there were humans, but even after telling him that it was dangerous and we had decided not to go inside, he had decided to go anyway.
"I\'ll be honest, we are a group, and a group needs order. Zain is a loose cannon. In some situations, that can be good and work out as long as we can channel that canon in some way. Either way, we can\'t all get dragged down with him, and he needs to learn the consequences of his actions. We will wait here for now."
The group was now feeling. Even Pink was biting her fingernails or not because she desperately wanted to go inside. She had seen how skilful Cobra was, but if Shark felt like he couldn\'t defeat him, could Zain really do this on his own?
Meanwhile, Kun was looking at Shark in a different light.
\'Are you testing him?\' He wondered.
——
Inside the warehouse, Zain instantly dealt with the first human by throwing out the small knife. His advantages were his increased strength, and he happened to be quite a good aim with throwing knives. This was something that he would practice in his dorm, albeit with pens.
Observing the person in front of him, Cobra had assumed he was a human since he didn\'t quite look like the zombie group he had just fought against.
\'This person just came and attacked us straight away…there was no hesitation in the killing. That\'s not normal. He\'s like us, which means he\'s dangerous.\' He thought.
Just then, one of the men with a machete ran forward, and Zain held onto his newly gained sword. He didn\'t really know how to use it, although he had practised swinging sticks a few times, a sword\'s weight and balance were different.
However, his supernatural strength allowed him to make up for a few things. Seeing the machete come his way, Zain swung the sword and hit the machete so hard that part of the sword got stuck in the machete itself.
The gang member\'s grip loosened as he had to let go. His entire arm felt numb from the attack. After pulling the machete off from his sword, Zain swung it down, chopping off the man\'s arm, causing him to cry in pain.
"You guys were the ones that hurt her, aren\'t you?" Zain asked.
The man was screaming now that his arm was missing, screaming so loud that there was a good chance it would attract other zombies, And because of this, Zain had no choice but to finish him off as he swung the sword cleanly diagonally, instantly chopping off the man\'s head.
There was next to no hesitation as Zain looked at the other gang members.
"I\'ll ask again, were you the ones that hurt her?"
The gangsters were a little more frightened for Zain by now than they were of the Reborn group when they came in. There was a certain look in his eye that screamed madness. They turned to each other and also turned to the one that could help them out in this situation.
"Woman?" Cobra asked with a slight smile while also taking another large black dagger from his back. He now held one in each hand. "There have been a lot of women that we have met during our time, I\'m afraid I do-"
"Hairdressers." Zain cut him off. "The women at the hairdressers, she said there was a group…and a man that had a cobra tattoo around his neck." He added while pointing his sword.
Hearing this, Cody started to gain a little understanding. He knew straight away that he was talking about Kelly.
\'Did Zain…did he come all of this way because of her? But they hardly know each other, why is he so mad right now?\'
"Ah, that woman," Cobra replied. "We haven\'t done anything to her yet, but we definitely plan to."
Cody saw that Cobra was moving his feet slightly.
"Zain!" Cody shouted. "Be careful! He has super speed!"
Knowing that his gang would be able to do nothing in this fight to help, Cobra was still confident he could win because, for some reason, in this new world, when it all started, his body had gone through a change. It was a gift from the heavens that he told him he was meant to be special in this world.
Running from his spot, Cobra had reached Zain and thrust one of the daggers right towards his head, but Zain had lifted his hand, and the dagger went right through, but it had stopped right there as Zain had grabbed Cobra\'s hand.
The dagger went into the palm of Zain, and it was through to the other side. Blood oozed out, but Zain didn\'t show an ounce of pain.
"Thank you, Cody, but I already knew."
