Outside the town of Daan. West Area, Base of Blue Wave Faction, Inside a blue shipping container.

"Yes… bossman, it's true. I've seen it with my own eyes." The bulky Bart said with a serious expression.

Well, he can't help it. The one in front of him was the leader of the Blue Wave Faction, after all.

"I see. You may go now, try not to offend that man you just mentioned. Even I myself isn't confident in winning one on one with the zombie you've been monitoring." Said the figure donning a dark blue hoodie, while sitting on a turning chair.

"Okay… bossman, rest assured. I will tell the others about this as well." Bart bowed for a full ninety degrees before leaving.

However, as he turned his body towards the door, a figure suddenly bumps into him, causing him to fall to the ground, butt first.

"Ahh! Bart, I'm sorry!" The figure who bumped Bart was a lady in jeans. She is wearing a tight jacket with a blue handkerchief tied to her neck. She made a yelp and extended her hands towards Bart, trying to help him get up.

"I… I got this Miss Dotina, no need to worry about me." After knowing that it was Dotina, Bart got flustered and instantly stood up before bowing a dozen times towards her. He then scurried outside the shipping container.

Dotina shook her head and approached the figure sitting on the turning chair. "That newbie sure is a shy one."

"Who knows." The figure shrugged its shoulder and put down the cup it was sipping. "What are you here for?"

"Ahh, yes I almost forgot about it. For the past hours, I've received complaints about the zombies they are about to kill dying all of a sudden. They said that the zombie's heads were crushed or blown up by something." Said Dotina as she sat on a couch to make herself comfortable.

"A sniper?" The figure muttered.

"That's what I thought at first as well, but, are there any guns that are still working at the moment? Haven't they lost their jobs a week ago?"

"Who knows!... Interesting!"

Dotina placed one of her legs towards the other and said, "Actually, that is the talk around the base right now."

"Oh yeah. Based on Bart's report to me earlier, we have lost more than 10 Level One° members earlier, during the fight with that Level Two° zombie. Their luck seems to have run out, as they were the first to get ambushed by that Level Two° zombie." Dotina continued.

"Another thing, we have lost another member again this afternoon, his case is the same with the zombies. His head just suddenly exploded without warning."

"I remember it was the guy who's been trying to coat himself with some zombie blood. Disgusting right?"

"I see… Don't let our members go out for now." Replied the figure.

"Oh, I was about to report about that to you as well. The members are requesting to take a day off, they were afraid that they might be the next target of that Beheader.

"Beheader?" The figure asked.

"Yeah, that's what they decided to call it." Said Dotina.

The figure nodded its head granting permission for the request. "It's best that way. We still don't know if it's a zombie or a human that is doing such acts. You can leave for now… just report to me if something unusual happened."

"Alright… I do hope that it's just a human though, a Level Two° zombie is already troublesome to deal with, how much more powerful would something be stronger than that." Dotina gets up from the couch and bowed towards the figure before leaving.

The figure turned its chair around and picked up the cup it dropped to the table earlier. The figure took a sip, as it muttered under its breath.

"Prefer it was a human? Don't you know that humans are more dangerous than zombies, who have just sprouted intelligence?"

…

In a certain area inside the Blue Wave Faction's base.

"Is it really an instant kill?" Said a man curling like a ball.

"Why? You don't believe me? I saw it with my own eyes. I was about to pounce on that zombie when its head suddenly exploded. I thought at first that it was a sniper, but. But tell me, do you think any sniper rifle would still work during this time?" He gulps a mouthful of water to wet his dry lips after so much talking.

He then continued, "So, the moment I realized that it wasn't a sniper, I immediately ran back as fast as I could. After I returned here, I just felt happy about my decision to run away immediately. You know, Schonto, right? Yeah, him. The one who's like a lunatic? The one who always bathes himself with disgusting zombie blood? I heard that his head also exploded without warning earlier. Scary right?'

A man suddenly approached them and patted the back of the man who had witnessed the head of a zombie exploding with his own eyes.

"Hey, are you two talking about the Beheader? You know that guy Plantito, he just got back and said the same thing with the others, that the head of the zombie he was about to kill suddenly exploded."

"I think the town of Daan has gotten more dangerous. What if it's a Level Three° zombie?"

"Yeah, that's my concern as well. That's why I decided to rest for now. You know, I have shit luck. I'm afraid I might run into the Beheader if I still decided to go out."

"I feel you bro. It's really scary thinking about your head exploding all of a sudden. Though we will stagnate our growth for a few days this way without hunting for Apocalypse Virus, but it's better than dying?"

"Yeah, you're right."

The three chatted and voiced out their complaints and concerns just like how sworn brothers would. After a while, they heard a not so loud shout from the center of the base.

"GATHER IMMEDIATELY. MISS DOTINA HAVE AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE!"
