Chapter 303: Chapter 302 Only by Becoming Stronger_1

Xu Haishui’s target was a young man. Seeing Xu Haishui’s gaze on him, the man’s face instantly turned as white as a sheet.

He stared at the mask, that round mask with a comical smile painted on it. In his eyes, it was as if a demon was laughing at him!

Xu Haishui approached him, his hand slowly extending, but then a deep voice rang out!

"I’ll go!"

A burly man about six feet tall with fierce scars on his face stepped forward, shouting at Xu Haishui.

The hand that he’d extended paused. He turned to look at the burly man, his eyes flickering. But before he could speak, Tang Ye, then in high spirits, ordered Bai Huipeng to carry over a chair for him to sit on. Tang Ye said to the burly man, "Very good! I appreciate you, haha!"

The applause followed enthusiastically, though reluctantly.

Tang Ye recognized the burly man but didn’t know his name. Although he was a normal person, he often went out to find supplies when there were no zombies to drive away from this place.

Judging by the confidence on his face, he apparently had accumulated a lot of experience battling zombies. And that’s exactly what Tang Ye wanted!

Xu Haishui watched him, smirking. He stepped aside, making a gesture of invitation, but his gaze was still fixed on the young man. It was clear that he had no intention of letting him off the hook.

"May I use a weapon?"

The burly man asked Tang Ye.

"Yes."

"Alright then."

The burly man turned his back, and someone in the crowd passed him a long iron rod. With a firm grip, he strode forward towards a zombie. At this moment, Xu Haishui let go of his mental control over the zombie!

Roar!

With a roar of delight, the bloodthirsty, white-eyed zombie stared fixedly at the burly man, rushing at him ferociously!

The burly man, serious, gripping his iron rod, thrust it out fiercely into the zombie’s chest when it was a meter away from him!

Yelp!

The zombie gnashed its teeth and waved its claws, snapping its bloody mouth repeatedly at the burly man. The strong smell of the undead was almost unbearable, but the burly man was accustomed to it and didn’t find it bothersome.

The metal rod against the zombie’s chest retracted slightly, and the burly man gave a hefty kick, pushing the zombie back a few steps. Swiftly, he lifted the rod and smashed it down!

Bang!

A crisp sound echoed as the zombie’s head cracked and it fell to the ground, spewing out a mix of white and yellow brain matter.

Having slain the zombie, the survivors were somewhat stunned. They didn’t expect zombies to be so easy to kill. Involuntarily, applause broke out.

Thunderous applause filled the area. The burly man wore no expression, as if killing a zombie was no big deal, and turned his gaze to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye raised his hand, pressing down slightly, and the applause began to halt. Once the applause died down, Tang Ye asked him, "What’s your name?"

"My name is Wu Pingzhan."

"Very good, you did well, I will remember you. Go over there."

Tang Ye dispersed the people on the right, leaving Wu Pingzhan standing alone. Feeling a bit improper, Tang Ye had a few chairs brought over and allowed him to sit. He then said to the others, "Do you see? The kind of person I want is like Wu Pingzhan, a true survivor! Now, next!"

Xu Haishui once again pulled a zombie from the car. The crowd watched his actions heart in mouth, fearing the zombie might bite him to death. But when they observed that the zombie being held by Xu Haishui did not resist at all, they could not help but feel that this was a ridiculous world!

Why didn’t the zombie attack him?

That was the question in everyone’s hearts, but no one had the answer for them.

After throwing the zombie to the ground, this time, Xu Haishui directly walked towards the young man he had been eyeing. However, before he could take a few steps, he was interrupted by another voice.

"I’ll do it!"

Xu Haishui frowned, feeling a bit annoyed, but he kept his temper in check. He made an inviting gesture and stepped aside.

The next person to go up requested the iron rod from Wu Pingzhan. He used the same method as Wu Pingzhan to kill the zombie. Tang Ye, watching the whole process, frowned.

He needed their courage, not their imitation skills!

If they were merely imitating here, would they be able to do so in real battle?

Seeming to sense Tang Ye’s dissatisfaction, the second man quickly turned to face Tang Ye, nervously explaining, "Boss, don’t misunderstand. Wu Pingzhan and I often go out together, so..."

Tang Ye waved his hand to interrupt him, "All right, you can go over there now." He had pretty much figured out what was going on. They’d learned to kill zombies through practical experience.

The man’s face lit up at his words. He thanked Tang Ye repeatedly and ran over to sit next to Wu Pingzhan.

"Next." Tang Ye announced.

Xu Haishui once again pulled out a zombie. This time, though, he cleverly asked who wanted to go first. However, to his surprise, the young man he had been staring at spoke up.

"I...I’ll do it."

Xu Haishui nodded, signalling the young man to come over. The young man, sweating bullets, looked at the front of the zombie, which appeared to be in a daze.

He was very reluctant, but having been selected by Xu Haishui, he knew there was no escaping it. Therefore, he decided to confront it head-on.

But when he truly faced the zombie, the memories rushed back, and he couldn’t help but tremble.

Suddenly, he remembered Tang Ye’s words.

In his heart, Tang Ye was the strong one. And Tang Ye seemed to be genuinely trying to protect people like him. But he knew he couldn’t always protect the weak!

If he wanted to survive, he had to become strong. And wasn’t Tang Ye’s current method aimed at making them stronger?

To become strong, one must have courage!

Having figured it out, the young man instinctively glanced at Tang Ye. His look filled with admiration!

Yes, he was being made to be strong. What was there to fear? With a bird’s spirit, he’d live forever if he didn’t die!

"Damn it all!"

No longer trembling, he looked at the zombie not far away, held onto the hilt of the machete, and eagerly awaited the zombie’s arrival.

Xu Haishui noticed the transformation. He glanced at Tang Ye and saw that he was also watching the young man, so he withdrew his psychic bond from the zombie!

The control was suddenly released, and the zombie immediately went berserk. It initially wanted to charge at the surrounding crowd, but Xu Haishui’s ability was not as simple as controlling his own kind. He could also direct them to attack a specific target without conscious control.

Roar!

The bloodthirsty roar from the zombie mouth made the young man, who had just relaxed, tense up again. The zombie charged at him, its withered skin expressing a desire for flesh!
