Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Echo of silence

"Something happened. (Carter speaking) I think he opened a field; Jimmy, the powerful zombie inside you. Controlling him will be difficult, so you must exert great effort. 'Opening a wide field' I haven't seen it since a year ago, facing Chris, a zombie elite. The field is a place outside reality where time stops, and a confrontation occurs. What I saw inside was amazing – standing on bones and skulls, a proud zombie within you, Jimmy. I think you saw him sitting on those skulls. His appearance was stunning.

'Trick' paused, Jimmy felt fear. 'I'm sorry, Jimmy, but you must start training and develop this weak body. Look at your hand; you won't stand a chance against him, and you won't be able to control him.'

"Okay, okay, what do I do now?"

"Brick, prepare heavy equipment for Jimmy's training."

"Brick" replied, "Yes, sir."

"Trick, get him different clothes to wear; these will hinder him in training. Let's start. Do a hundred push-ups. Come on, faster, and do a thousand repetitions. First push-up, second push-up, third push-up."

A month later, Jimmy's body transformed, becoming strong and fast. "Doc, bring some zombies," Carter said. "They're coming. Get ready, Jimmy; you'll face them."

"Take a deep breath and attack with strength."

"Okay."

"They're coming, go!"

Jimmy defeated over a hundred zombies effortlessly, without the assistance of the zombie inside him. "Well done, Jimmy."

Jimmy asked Carter, "How can I control the zombie inside me?"

"It might be challenging. Head towards an abandoned castle near the 'Shenhua Sizu' area. There's a foolish old man who might help you, if he's still alive. Enter inside, and I'll tell you how to go there. Come on, go in."

Jimmy and Carter entered the basement under their house, where Carter had a sword. The sword began to move when Jimmy sensed the zombie's presence. Carter was surprised, "What's happening to that sword, Carter? It's on fire."

"I've never seen it like this before."

Jimmy approached it, and the sword ignited with flames. "What's happening here?"

"I think the sword reacts to the zombie inside you, Jimmy."

The zombie opened a field again, summoning Jimmy inside. "Hello, Jimmy."

"You dirty zombie, why did you summon me here?"

"I'm trading my existence inside you for your survival. I'll give you some of my power, but I want you to share your body with me. Do you agree to this offer?"

"Yes, I agree, but on certain conditions: help me become stronger, and when you're summoned, make me fight alongside you."

"Agreed, Jimmy."

"Can I give you a name?"

"Yes."

"From today, your name is 'Chromos.' Do you like this name?"

"Yes."

They shook hands, and Chromos, the zombie, whispered to himself, "But, Jimmy, you're just a tool. Once I reach my goal, I'll eliminate you. Everything I do now is for survival."

The field closed, and Jimmy returned to the basement. "Carter, what happened? Where did you go?"

"I was with Chromos."

"Who is Chromos?"

"He's a zombie inside me."

"Haha, did you give him a name?"

"Yes, and I made a deal with him for cooperation and enhancing our abilities and strength."

"Where did you get this sword, Carter?"

"I think I got it in a confrontation with Chris and some old friends who were part of the 'Mnhwa the Zombie' organization. So, I don't need it; take it."

"What is this organization? You never told me about it."

🤭 "Sorry for any shortcomings and spelling errors. I wish you all a happy day, and I love you all."
