Chapter 876: Chapter 872: Surprising, Isn’t It?

Just as the intelligent zombie was about to leave with its minion, a voice, origin unknown, halted its steps, a puzzled expression crossing its ghastly, hideous face.

What person had made that sound?

In its mind, this type of repetitive vocalization, known as language, was something only humans could produce, and to a zombie, humans were food.

Its eyes brightened as it scanned the surroundings, aware, in its intelligence, of something called danger.

Fresh flesh indeed brought great joy to zombies, but such flesh was only found on the living, not every living being could be hunted by zombies, blindly charging at a powerful one could only lead to death!

It wasn’t foolish, even though it felt a regrettable loss when Brother Shi was divided among the horde, this sudden source of food did not excite it again—it clearly understood that getting to Brother Shi had been possible because other powerful beings had restrained him, limiting his resistance, and Brother Shi had been stronger than itself.

As for this next potential meal, it couldn’t say whether it would succeed in consuming it, but it wouldn’t rashly advance without assessing the danger first.

There were many other zombies around, although Brother Shi had already been dealt with, the number of zombies present was not small, this crowd of its kind was enough to give it a sense of security.

However, the sound was ethereal, and even the sharp hearing of the zombie couldn’t discern exactly which direction it was coming from, but it still followed its instincts toward one direction, with the minion zombie closely following behind.

Huff~

It growled softly, as if asking, "Who’s there?"

But no one answered it, having no option, it continued forward, but after a dozen steps, it staggered as if it had bumped into something.

Roar!

It roared angrily, gazing ferociously ahead, seemingly ready to reprimand whoever dared block its path—an action that could frighten many.

However, there was nothing ahead; it had seemingly collided with an invisible wall.

Its white eyes narrowed, clearly puzzled.

What had it just bumped into?

It had been keeping an eye on its surroundings the whole time; it hadn’t paid much attention to what was directly in front of it, but there shouldn’t have been anything—if there really were something ahead, it should have noticed it quickly.

But there was nothing.

Harboring doubts, it took a step forward and reached out its hand.

Upon doing so, its eyes suddenly widened—there was nothing ahead, but its hand couldn’t move forward! It felt something, but zombies lacked both pain and tactile sensation, so it didn’t know what it had touched.

Its friendlier hand began climbing upward, and the left hand reached out to the side.

This didn’t seem like a transparent wall; it had a rough texture, more like... a tree trunk? Moreover, this object seemed very tall...

As it spoke, the left hand moved to another side; at less than sixty centimeters, it came to an end. This definitely wasn’t a wall; the object wasn’t long or thick. It couldn’t see this object, but a picture slowly formed in its mind.

This seemed like a human waist?

Very much so—it had touched a human waist before, but not as slender as what it was touching now. Let’s say it was a person, but why couldn’t it feel the head?

The questions in its mind multiplied, but as its right hand rose higher, it seemed to reach some sort of spherical object, quickly forming an image in its mind—this was a woman’s...

Wrong, it had touched that thing before, it knew what it was like. Humans have a word for it, what is it... soft?

Yes, soft! The intelligent zombie was proud of its remarkable memory.

However, the sphere it could reach was not soft at all; on the contrary, it was hard and firm, like a round stone!

But the object in front of it was too tall, it couldn’t fully reach the sphere with its own height...

Just as it was tiptoeing to confirm what the object blocking its front was, a man’s voice suddenly emerged from behind.

"Had enough of touching?"

It was startled and turned around to look. It was a human. The zombie sniffed vigorously, it didn’t smell the scent of a living being from this man, nor the scent of a dead one, rather like a strange creature that exists between life and death.

However, the sudden appearance of this man behind it also made its eyes light up. Even if he seemed strange and odd, what did it matter? Anyway, according to its past experiences, he must be a living being!

After all, all humans look like this!

Also, having no scent was much more stable than those with a powerful scent, at least, the likelihood of facing a life-threatening situation was greatly reduced.

Roar!

The intelligent zombie roared at Tang Ye, seemingly asking who he was.

Tang Ye smiled, his smile appearing somewhat eerie, almost giving the impression of a ghost lurking in the darkness.

"Kid, I’d advise you not to move that hand randomly, or you might end up dying a horrible death!"

Tang Ye’s expression was a bit odd. The intelligent zombie couldn’t see the existent right before it, but Tang Ye could see it clearly. Its hand was placed in a particularly awkward position!

Hehe!

It couldn’t understand what Tang Ye was saying at all, merely assuming the man was shouting wildly. After a few low growls, it ordered a few subordinates to seize Tang Ye forward, but unexpectedly, the three subordinates didn’t react at all, standing puzzled in front of it as if they couldn’t see Tang Ye.

However, Tang Ye understood its intentions and a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes.

Soon, the terrified roars of the intelligent zombie began to ring out as a Level 5 zombie suddenly appeared beside it, grabbed it, and brought it in front of Tang Ye.

Tang Ye eyed it for a while, then asked, "You seem to not understand what I’m saying?"

The intelligent zombie was a bit dumbfounded, painfully turning its head to look at the Level 5 zombie holding it, still unable to comprehend what was happening.

Observing its expression, it was probably wanting to say, "We are the same kind, why are you grabbing me? Look! There’s a person in front!"

After glancing at the Level 5 zombie, it turned to face Tang Ye, its white eyes full of confused expression.

"Surprised?" Tang Ye transmitted this message directly to it using zombie brainwaves.

It must have received it, its expression shocked as it looked around. This was not a language, but a form of communication different from language. This message left it bewildered, its eyes wide as it stared at Tang Ye.

But it understood the meaning of the message, only confused about how Tang Ye managed to do it.

It nodded slightly, but only halfway, Tang Ye’s intended message was too specific. Sometimes it doesn’t make the other party understand right away, instead, it makes it even more difficult to comprehend.
