"What happened?" Alex lazily asked as he looked at them. His eyes showed nothing but laziness as if he already expected such outcomes.
"It's you!!" Kevin angrily shouted as he pointed at Alex. His eyes reddened because of hatred.
"You deceived us!" Zander looked up and his eyes widened. He also pointed on Alex as he couldn't believe of what he found. It seems like he forgotten about Sam who's behind him.
Alex leaned on the railings of stairway as his eyes gazed on Kevin and Zander. He didn't defend himself but asked them a question instead.
"You won't help your friend there" Alex used his chin to point on Dennis who is now being hold back by a zombie rat Louise.
Kevin and Zander looked at Dennis and Louise. They know that they couldn't save them anymore.
Alex squinted and already knows what they are thinking.
"Indeed. I invited wolves" Alex mumbled to himself as his eyes scrutinized Kevin and Zander.
Sam stiffly walked slowly towards Kevin and Zander without making noise but his nose smells human scents from in front of him. He instinctively followed such scents.
Alex saw Sam's behavior but he just let him be.
"Why are you doing this?" Kevin asked as his gaze coldly looked up at Alex. His hands clenched into a fist.
"We didn't do anything to you. So, why?" Zander choke up as he vented his grievance.
Alex widened his eyes as he realized that human is indeed a very scary creature. Although the crimes they committed are not entirely connected to him, Alex still logically wanted to punish them.
"Well, it's simple. It's because you killed the little girl and committed cannibalism" Alex answered which gave shock to Kevin and Zander.
"How ...did you find out?" Zander asked. They were careful on conducting cannibalism since cannibals are not welcomed by any shelters. They washed themselves with soap and made sure that there's no smell left on them. However, Alex still found out.
Alex started explaining his part to them which made them feel chills run down their spines.
When he was sniffing Zander before he changed his clothes, he already identified ten different bloody scents and those scents are obviously came from seven men and three women.
Also, they acted so high and mighty in front of him earlier as if they already owned his mansion which made him conclude that these five will certainly move on him while he is sleeping.
That's why he made a move first. The pig brain meat they have eaten was not a pig brain but a zombie rotten brain. Eating it will turn them into a zombie. That's what happened to Louise and Sam.
Also, Alex recognized Sam. He was the sniper earlier who shoot the arrows towards the zombie in order to save the little girl. It was fine for him to leave the girl to them. After all, it is risky to let a human girl live with him.
However, when he meet Sam again. He is now different group than before. Although he didn't see their faces except Sam, he still recognized them by scents.
This group's scents are different, excluding Sam. This lead him to conclude that Sam betrayed his former group and joined a new one or this group is his original group.
"GWAAHHH!!" Sam groaned loudly and immediately pounced on to Zander from behind. He bit Zander's neck hard and its flesh torn.
Zander screamed as he flailed his arms to make Sam let go of him but Sam's strength multiplied twice than before because he is now a zombie.
Kevin was shocked and immediately step aside to dodge Dennis and Louise attempt on pouncing on him.
Alex was astonished of Kevin's reaction time and watched their suffering from the side.
Then, Zander stood up stiffly as he immediately turned into a zombie. Alex was on awe because of the zombie virus immediate effects for turning humans into zombies.
'I've witnessed too many turnings but it never stop shocking me' he commented. However, he was struck of sudden realization.
'Is my turning slowed down than other humans that's why I am not yet a muddle-headed zombie?' he wondered while Kevin is being chased by the four zombie rats (Dennis, Sam, Louise and Zander).
Kevin is panting as he lost hope. He subconsciously looked behind him where Alex stood up and started wondering why these four zombie rats haven't attacked Alex. Alex is just leaning on the railings since the beginning.
Alex stared on Kevin's eyes and Kevin was shocked to see Alex's eyes turned fully white but immediately returned to normal.
"You..!" Kevin doesn't know what to say now. He feels ominous because of his speculation! However, it is just a speculation! Because it will never happened since it is impossible!
Alex chinned up and straightened his posture. He walked down the stairs slowly. His posture, skin, and everything on his body doesn't show any turning at all!
"You're not a human...but how?!" Kevin's lips trembled as he started doubting his experience when the zombie apocalypse just started.
He fought on the way from B Shelter to E Shelter to seek safety shelter but he was denied by the E Shelter's administration because of his uselessness.
He has no other choice but to fight zombies by himself until he awakened his ability - the water attributes. The D Shelter poached him and he proposed a condition which was to destroy E Shelter. They agreed and unhesitatingly destroyed the E Shelter. Because of his water attributes, D Shelter valued him very much.
As the days went by, many people awakened water attributes and the administration helped raising their levels, which reduced his value because he is stuck as Level 1 Awakened.
In order to maintain his value, he decided to venture outside and looked for First Class Zombie. It is another way for him to level up. However, a horde of zombies are chasing them endlessly until they found Alex's mansion.
They all thought that they are saved! Each of them started planning on killing Alex to get this mansion. He's a big fish for their survival so why not?
Alas! Alex turned the table with the dishes he prepared and made them eat zombie rotten brains.
Alex shook his head and went to his kitchen. He started cooking his dinner while Kevin became the four's feast instead.
