As Xian beheads the zombie Jin is shocked to the point that he couldn't breath quickly realizing he wasn't breathing Jin started gasping for air while trying to ask what seemed to be a thousand questions all at once coming out as a stutter.
"ahe w-wha? wheez w-when? ahehoo w-w-why? how?" Jin asked with a pale face
Xian smiled and said "well as we now know these things can die but it seems as though only if their brain is destroyed so keep that in mind this is vital information we need to report it might save us lots of time to kill them than to contain them that means we can retake the city oh and don't get killed it seems that if you die you come back as one of them so try to keep focused the next time you see one"
Jin nodded with a stupid look on his face like a kid who just witnessed a professional stuntman jump off a cliff and stick the landing
As they approached the guard house they realized the door was locked and the windows were boarded shut Xian then nocked on the door and called "chief Li it's Xian, tower guard Jin and I are here to report" then after some wood scraping sounds and a clinck sound the doors opened and four hands shot out pulling them in quickly slamming the door shut behind them.
"Xian what do you have to report and by the gods how did you survive till now all the way from the towers the streets are filled with those monsters" exclaimed the chief of the guards a large burly man with rippling muscles that showed his determination for his job he was balding but still had dark brown hair even though he was already in his 60s he was a lower human level martial artist he had the strength of one flaming bull so naturally his life span is increased by 30 years.
"Sir there are undead in the City's and towns the zombies can be killed if their brain is destroyed sir and they seem to not feel pain and don't suffer from any injury inflicted on them whether they are crippled or disemboweled only the destruction of the brain can stop them" reported Xian as he looked around the room he noticed that there were around twenty people in this room alone that means there should be around forty people in here! bing* 'new quest establish a survivers town rewards for completion 10× crates of preserved foods no time limit'
Xian's mind went ballistic 'ten crates that's worth more than fifty gold! let alone the fact that money was useless now this food would guarantee peoples loyalty!' Xian then went and announced "attention! please may I borrow your ears for a moment!" everyone then started looking at him fully focused on him "ok I have a plan that might help us survive because if we stay here we will only get surrounded and be eaten I want to gather a group of ten people to fight off the undead and take back this town we should at least be able to clear it within three days time but we first need to clear the streets this area is mostly empty only around eighty to ninety at most they are slow and uncoordinated with me and chief Li we should be able to kill 20 our selfs but I want to make sure we can have some more people out there to take care of them all and we will need eight more to carry and build blockades in the roads the carpenter's shop is just two blocks down next to the blacksmiths we need to get there to get better gear and tools for the job and any houses we come across we need to block the entrances entirely so six people will carry the wooden boards and the other two the tools we need to do this now to prevent future problems as we clear the town and we need to search for survivers and get them to safety once we have secured the town I will take a group out to where my house is there is enough preserved foods there to ration for three months we need that food as well as a safe place to stay so who's with me?!"...
