Chapter 10: Kane

After a while, all of the zombies have been killed at that spot and the place has been all cleared.

The teammates of the REDPO1 mission came up to see it and smiled sunnily.

Cuifen droved the jeep towards them and stopped in front of them.

The two of them then came down from it.

As they came to meet the leader of the mission, he was on the side busy informing the higher-ups of the Special Units, "The reinforcement has arrived in time and every team member is safe and sound. We will be coming to the unit shortly!"

He then cut the call.

Shuzo turned to look at the leader and shared sensibly, "Seems like the zombies here are starving a lot. They instantly swarm up as soon as they heard the noise"

The leader turned to look at the dead zombies and declared sharply, "I am afraid, this is not the end. There's a chance of more zombies coming up to the spot and we might be in huge trouble. They get wilder as time goes by! Their starvation is getting them crazier!"

Shuzo followed the leader's gaze and was observing the corpse with his attentive eyes.

Cuifen slowly came up to them and asserted wittily, "Since the zombies might attack us anytime, why don't we moved them and quickly leave the place?!"

The leader turned to look at Leina and smiled. He then spoke up consciously, "Leina is right! It's not good to ponder here!"

He then quickly turned to the men and gave the order, "Quick! Take the bodies out and put them to the truck!"

The men of the REDPO1 mission instantly came up to them and heeded, "Yes...leader"

With it, they started to scoop the corpse with the machines and launched to put it onto the truck.

While they are busy with it, Shuzo turned to Leina and shared in a stern expression, "Stay here! I will look up for Kane"

Cuifen shooked her head at it.

Shuzo then walked out from there and started to look around the members of the unit, searching for his dear friend.

As he turned around looking for him, he noticed that his friend wasn't there in the groups.

Unnerved by it, Shuzo turned to one of the members of the special unit and inquired in keenness, "Where is Kane?!"

The man replied to it puzzledly, "Kane?! Who is Kane?!"

It seems like the man does not have any idea of who this Kane was.

Bothered by it, Shuzo shared troubledly, "He is the member of the special unit bearing the identity number SU108"

The man countered it confusedly, "SU108?! I don't think he was sent to the same mission as us. All the members of the REDPO1 mission consist of those with identification numbers from 112 to 120"

That was insane! Kane was never on the mission, to begin with!

Distracted by it, Shuzo quickly went back to the leader of the mission and inquired in curiosity, "Team leader, Do you know Kane?! His identity number is SU108. He said that he was being sent to this mission?!"

Startled by the sudden question, the team leader turned to look aside in awkwardness.

He then turned and replied with a poker face, "Ahh...! SU108! I recalled that he was being sent to a different mission!"

Shuzo was left amazed by it, never did he recalled Kane to be speaking him of a different mission! Kane was all smiles and happy thinking that he was being sent for the mission to crack some heads?! Didn't he meant the Zombies?!

Wanting to clear it, Shuzo countered to it deliberately, "Kane told me that he was on this Zombie mission. How come his mission changed in an instant?! To be ready for another mission means he has to prepare all the equipment and gear all over again?!"

The leader pretended to be cool and turned to look aside. He was then taking his moment to think over it.

After a moment of reflection, he spoke up sensibly, "This...! You can ask the founders. I am sure they have the answer to your question.."

He was then standing aloof as if he doesn't want to be disturbed anymore.

The leader then promptly turned to his members and urged, "Quick! Hurry to gather the bodies!"

Shuzo was left flustered by it. Unable to get the answer from the leader he slowly came to Leina which was standing near the jeep.

Noticing his gloomy face, Cuifen inquired him wittily, "So....your leader doesn't have any idea of where this friend of yours is?!"

Shuzo glance at her deeply as he walked towards her. He then stands on the side and shared troubledly, "I am afraid this is not as simple as it seems. Kane's mission was changed in an instant and the leader have no idea of where he was being sent to"

"This happens to one of the unit members SU105, they said that his mission was changed at an instant and we never get to see him ever again. The founders later told us that he died on a space mission", he added in stress.

Cuifen scoffed at it and responded coldly heartedly, "I can tell that one thing is for sure this friend of yours is in huge trouble. Maybe he was being sent to a lone mission?!"

She then turned to look at Shuzo with that fiery cold glance.

Shuzo was left dominated by it that he gulped in alarm.

Cuifen then added carefreely, "Maybe...he was sent to be killed?!"

"That happens in the movies I watched in my childhood!", she then bursts out aloud in fun.

Cuifen's words have taken out Shuzo's breath for a while. It was quite intimidating.

Not quite liking it, he turned to her and hissed, "Aishh..! That's not funny, Leina. You nearly take out my breath away"

Cuifen laughed out hard at it. She was having all the fun teasing Shuzo.

While Shuzo was left flustered by her.

He smiled handsomely as he look at her.
