Zack was doing some training with a zombie he managed to control however he only had done it once since his skills.Were more towards fighting not commanding but he still could control a few soldiers.It was the same with alex since he wouldn't be able to control as many zombies but they focused more on intelligence.Which is why Luther's soldiers were as powerful as they are beacuse they will have both strength and intelligence however.It will take a longer time for the soldiers to reach their peak of there possible strength and intelligence.
There is also the max at what Zack and Alex and even Luther of how many they can control and that's without the help of there ranked soldiers.
Zack-5555 [max]
Alex-3420 [max]
luther-8200 [max]
However once they begun to appoint more ranked soldiers like their majors and colonels who can also control and command there numbers will triple.So when they are all at there peak they could have an army of tens of hundreds thousands of mutated and power infused soldiers.
Anyway as Zack was training he started to realise it was getting late and checked his watch to see he had been training for 8 hours.He started walking back to the camp which would take about 20 minutes beacuse he went further into the forest to train were he actually found his new soldier.However as he was walking the two meet a group of 8 zombies who turned towards Zack whilst still eating the fresh corpse of a golden retriever.
Zack quickly ran towards the closest zombies and punched it in the face with some fibre energy put into it.The zombies head exploded with it brain matter flying around landing on the trees and bushes as 3 zombies ran towards Zack.He was shocked to see the zombies could tell the differnce in strength since out of the 3 zombies 1 decided to go for Zack zombie.Who was called "J" who slowly swung its fist pushing the zombie in the chest but it didn't stop it's advance as it tackled J to the ground.
Zack quickly saw J having trouble so Zack snapped a branch of a tree and ran towards the 2 zombies stabbing one in the head.He quickly turned to the other zombie and kicked it towards a tree with the zombie smashing it's head off the tree cracking it's skull but not killing it.So Zack quickly threw the branch which sliced through it's eye and sunk deep into the centre of the brain.
He turned to run towards J but realised small thin black branches connected to his fingers which pierced open the zombies brain and was consuming the energy and flesh.Zack smiled realising J had transformed probably beacuse of the danger and quickly got up.They both walked towards the 4 other zombies who now finished there meal and were looking for something bigger to eat.The fight was hard since it was 1 vs 2 for both Zack and J but they pulled through and gaining some good fighting experience.
They both walked back with some bruises and scratches luckily beacuse of the fibre cores they wouldn't be turned.The two then walked back to camp"Thanks J you were a big part of us winning I'll make sure to give you some meat when we get back k"-Zack
"Rawerck!"-J
The two walked to camp coming across another group of zombies but when they came to attack realised it was a group of 3 light blue eyed
zombies.Zack quickly stoped beacuse he remembered they were the soldiers Alex chose to roam around the area and learn new things so they can increase there intelligence.
They were making steady progress trying to rembered and improve themselves with the world around them.
Since from what the System told Luther the smarter the zombie the more likely it will evolve however if they have strength It will be much more powerful than if you got it from intelligence.Also another interesting thing was they could randomly gain a mutation from anything they touch.So if they wanted a zombies to gain a mutation to do with hardened skin or metal they would have to use there sense and have a bit of luck.Also getting that skill would be hard and dangerous there Is also a chance that when they walk past something accidentally they'll get something bad beacuse not all mutations are good and they only have one chance.
Also Both Zack and Alex's soldiers and themselves started to gain there own unique colour eyes with Zacks being orange and Alex's being blue.However that doesn't mean they have the power of a blue or orange fibre user and it was just there colour and were still lieutenants to Luther.As of now Alex's soldiers who were more like scientists were observing a rose bush and lightly touching the thorns.Zack instantly new it was Alex's idea because he was probably thinking of a zombie soldiers with roses rapped around them with thorns sticking out of them.But mostly likely they would just look like a pin cushion with flesh falling off it whilst nawing off a bone.
Zack walked past them whilst saying hello to them but they didn't respond and Zack and J continued onto camp."Raragraw"-Bob said to two of the soldiers who were carrying a bunch of logs for the fire.Zack wasn't realy surprised by Bob or the zombies anymore but he was surprised to see 4 more zombies working around the camp all with shining purple lit eyes.
"Hey Zack how ya doing it look like you got yourself a friend!"Luther
"Yes i found him in the forest and his names J and he has a cool mutation but anyway it looks like you got some more friends to"-Zack
"Oh wow mutation cool and yes Bob brought them here so now there is 7 soldiers and one special guy"-Luther
He then said "come here!" and a zombie wearing what looked to be a slightly ripped security uniform from some random security company.So adding this new soldier LUTHER had 8 soldiers all together personally
"This is Ryan and he is also mutated and
remembered some of his skills and memories from when he was alive.He was walking around lifles until he found me and bob so he asked to work for me as my guard which was I got to say pretty dame cool"-Luther
"Oh wow that's cool so what did he rembered?"Zack
"Not much realy just some basic skills from his job and parts of his life here and there luckily he rembered how to fight and use a gun sadly we haven't got any guns but it's still useful"-Luther
"Wow that pretty cool and I guess he is lucky"-Zack
"very lucky also I saw Alex's "scientist" playing with a rose bush"-Zack
"Yea he's trying to get them to mutate since I think he doesn't want to have just a punch of random mutants or at least he want one main mutant which I can understand"-Luther
"I guess since I'm thinking of actually trying to get some of my future soldiers an iron or steel skill type of mutation sort of like what bobs got"-Zack
"That sounds pretty good for your strengthened soldiers"-Luther
"Hopefully but thanks"-Zack
Little did they know but in the future many gangs and organisation would try and focus on one type of mutation.And try many different types and there would be many varients and groups naming themselves after there mutations.
