Chapter 320: Chapter 319: Controlling Zombie Rats_1

Visible to the naked eye, Tang Ye saw the space near Xu Haishui’s eyes starting to warp, like waves of sound, forming a ring, crashing into the head of the zombie rat.

Buzz~

Tang Ye heard an eerie, slight tremor in his ears, like his soul had been knocked by something, leaving his head a little spaced out. But he quickly returned to normal.

The zombie rat didn’t fare so well. With the "buzz" sound, its body shuddered violently. Its eyes, previously a mix of bloodlust, cruelty and cunning, suddenly became unfocused, losing their depth.

Growl~

Xu Haishui groaned. His voice was laden with discomfort, it seemed that the just-concluded psychic transmission had drained him substantially!

But it wasn’t over. The zombie rat’s eyes regained focus after only a brief moment, and its trembling became more violent!

Buzz~

Another light buzzing sound rang out, quieter than before. This time it issued from the zombie rat and didn’t stir up the air.

If Xu Haishui was confused a second ago, he recovered much quicker. This was clearly the zombie rat’s response to him.

After initiating this psychic attack, Tang Ye felt the struggling force of the zombie rat decrease significantly. After a while, it just flopped to the ground, weakly.

Xu Haishui slid off its back, shaking its hair off his hands. He looked somewhat disgusted, but his eyes were filled with joy.

"Hahaha, little fellow, trying to compete with me? You’re outta your depth!"

Giving a victorious laugh, he nodded at Tang Ye, who stepped aside, squinting as he observed his subsequent actions.

Xu Haishui did not disappoint. He closed his eyes to rest a bit, then snapped them open to look at the zombie rat.

The surroundings were silent. Some people ran over, curiosity etched on their faces as they watched the spectacle, not daring to make any noise.

Xu Haishui watched the zombie rat for thirty seconds, during which Tang Ye and the onlookers had absolutely no clue what was happening. Then suddenly, the zombie rat twitched, as if it had been electrocuted.

"Success! Thanks a lot, boss!"

Xu Haishui suddenly thanked Tang Ye, leaving Tang Ye somewhat perplexed. Before he could respond, he saw Xu Haishui mount the zombie rat. In the instant he mounted it, the zombie rat "whooshed" and stood up like a fluffing-up, startled cat.

The sudden motion startled those who had gathered around. The sight of the zombie rat’s pus-covered, disgusting face made no one inclined to take a second look.

This thing would make you lose your appetite just by looking!

At the same time, they worried, fearing that the zombie rat might overturn Xu Haishui and swallow him whole.

However, it was clear that they were overthinking it. After standing up, the zombie rat’s first move was to obediently follow Xu Haishui’s commands and took a few steps. Its disgusting rat mouth opened and closed, making "squeak, squeak" noises that sounded oddly ingratiating.

This left the people around them in awe, their eyes clearly saying, "How is this possible?"

Could a zombie really be tamed?

At this point, everyone had the same question in their minds. But Xu Haishui didn’t bother answering their doubts. He got used to riding the zombie rat, then urged it to move faster. Like a gust of wind, he did a quick lap around a signal tower.

After playing around for a bit, Xu Haishui stopped beside Tang Ye and said cheerfully, "Boss, want a turn?"

A glint flashed in Tang Ye’s eyes as he looked at Xu Haishui curiously.

He had no idea how much he had changed.

Xu Haishui was taken aback by the silence in the air before Tang Ye finally spoke, "No need, let’s go there and see."

"Okay! Are you sure you don’t want to ride, Boss?"

Tang Ye didn’t respond. Seeing Tang Ye start walking, Xu Haishui hopped down from his newly subdued mount to follow him on foot. The zombie rat obediently tagged along.

Meanwhile, the earlier onlookers curiously inspected the zombie rat up close, eyes wide with surprise.

In this apocalypse, it was their first time peacefully coexisting with a bloodthirsty zombie, close enough to observe one! Especially one with at least Level 3 abilities!

Upon arriving at the plaza where the armored vehicles were parked, people there too greeted Tang Ye one after another, their eyes filled with awe and intense joy!

In this settlement, having such a leader was akin to a blessing in their lives. Of course, that only applied in the post-apocalyptic world. If it were before the Apocalypse, it wouldn’t mean much.

People living in the post-apocalyptic times were easily contented. All they needed was food and safety. While they weren’t confident these necessities were available elsewhere, they were definitely provided here, by Tang Ye.

Because Tang Ye gave them these essentials, they reverently respected and admired him.

Only after greeting Tang Ye did they turn their attention to the zombie rat by Xu Haishui’s side. At first glance, they exclaimed in astonishment.

"Holy shit, a zombie?"

"This is a zombie? Why isn’t it biting?" someone nearby asked. But before the words were out of his mouth, someone else hit him on the head.

"Are you stupid or what? If our Boss can chase zombies away, taming one is a piece of cake!"

"Right, right."

The man who had been struck grinned uneasily. He showed no signs of anger as the harmonious atmosphere prevailed. At that moment, a tank rolled up from the direction of the large tent and parked one by one. The drivers got off and began boasting loudly to those by the armored vehicles, eliciting either envy or teeth-gritting frustration.

Tang Ye waved a hand, quieting everyone down as if trying to maintain a serious demeanor. There was no hint of irritation as he asked Wu Pingzhan, who was closest to him, "How’s it going? Still can’t get it open?"

Wu Pingzhan gave a wry smile and replied to Tang Ye, "We don’t really understand this thing. We’ve tried every method and none of them work, probably need a key."

Tang Ye didn’t have the knowledge either. He just glanced over the armored vehicles, not knowing what to think about leaving so many of them behind, he’s quite reluctant to let them go.

Prior to all this, Tang Ye was something a military fan, so he was well aware that most tank locks in the army were circular and didn’t come with substantial protection measures.

Filled with this thought, Tang Ye approached an armored vehicle, cleared the people around and stood at an angle they wouldn’t be able to see. He took off one of his gloves, revealing the grotesque flesh of his zombie hand.

His fingers aimed at the small hole on the door, and in the next second, the flesh on his finger tip started wiggling, spreading inside the hole. He intended to use his ability to control all flesh and bones to manually create a key to unlock it.
