I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 884 - 880 Absolute Control

Chapter 884: Chapter 880 Absolute Control

"However, encountering Level 6 of our kind is not easy, and I wouldn’t want to kill one if I did. It wouldn’t be bad to reluctantly take them in."

"Are our Level 6 kin that strong?"

Song Muyuan asked with confusion. Tang Ye glanced at him and said, "Level 6 not strong? You couldn’t even handle a Level 3 New Human before, so you tell me, are they strong or not?"

"You’re talking about a Level 3 New Human? So there are also Level 4 New Humans?"

"Of course."

"So how strong is Level 6 exactly?" Song Muyuan, not lacking in intelligence, quickly grasped some of the implications behind Tang Ye’s words. As for this apocalypse novice, Tang Ye was willing to teach him a thing or two.

"You know about survivor bases, right?"

"Survivor bases? What’s that?"

"There are lots of people there, and they have more Level 3 New Humans than the carapaces on your body."

"Wow? Then wouldn’t we definitely die if we went in there?"

"Mhm, lower-level kin would definitely die if they went in. There are so many Level 3 New Humans, and there are also Level 4 and Level 5. Now many large survivor bases have already seen the emergence of Level 6 New Humans. How strong are our Level 6 kind? Just take these survivor bases, for example—if we’re lucky, a single Level 6 zombie can wipe them out!"

"Then there would be an endless supply of meat."

"You could say that."

"Marshal, where are we going?"

"Seems like Xin City ahead, a large city. There should be many of our kind there. I want you to evolve to Level 6."

"I can evolve to Level 6 too? Does that mean I could also wipe out a survivor base on my own?"

Song Muyuan exclaimed in surprise. Tang Ye glanced at him but shook his head. This guy’s ability was too focused on control, and his combat ability was even lower than Xu Haishui’s. Now at Level 5, his individual strength was merely that of Level 2.

With such strength, he’s dreaming of taking down a survivor base all by himself!

However, Tang Ye wasn’t interested in the actual strength that Song Muyuan possessed; he was only somewhat interested in his ability to control large swarms of zombies.

"Others at Level 6 might, but you, that’s not possible."

"Why not?" Song Muyuan asked, puzzled.

"Haven’t you realized that you’re weaker than many zombies?"

Song Muyuan thought for a moment, and it seemed that was actually the case.

"But I’m Level 5 now. If I evolve, I’ll be Level 6. So why can’t I?"

"No, it’s not that you absolutely can’t, but you can’t do it alone."

"Oh—so what should I do?"

"You can gather other kin. You’re special, possessing abilities that others of the same level do not have, like what you just did, which others can’t manage."

"Then you can’t either?"

Tang Ye suddenly stopped and turned to look at Song Muyuan.

"I can too, but your ability is a bit different from ours. You can influence the kin around you, but the major difference is, we can’t make them precisely perform what we want to do, whereas you can!"

"Is that so..."

"On the other hand, your ability is also my ability."

Song Muyuan shuddered, not quite understanding the meaning behind Tang Ye’s words.

"Why... why is that?"

"I can show you."

"How..."

Song Muyuan was about to speak, but he suddenly stopped. His body violently trembled, and his head drooped as if his soul had been sucked out. After two or three seconds, Song Muyuan lifted his head again, but his eyes were completely different from before.

They were cold and sinister, eerily similar to Tang Ye’s!

Now, Song Muyuan’s body had been taken over by Tang Ye’s consciousness! This was the ability Tang Ye gained after evolving to a Level 7 zombie. Apart from the silver-armored zombies he could only observe through at Level 6, after Level 7, the silver-armored zombies he infected and assimilated could be considered part of his body!

His consciousness would lurk within every silver-armored zombie he assimilated after reaching Level 7. Whenever he needed to do something special that his own identity didn’t permit, he could directly control one or more of the silver-armored zombies he infected and assimilated after Level 7. Song Muyuan was one of them!

"Do you understand now?" Tang Ye said to Song Muyuan while raising a hand, all five fingers stretched open. Even though Song Muyuan had become him, he could still receive the brainwave signals Tang Ye sent out.

Song Muyuan didn’t speak or respond with brainwaves. Then, Tang Ye suddenly clenched the hand with the outstretched fingers, as if taking away something. Song Muyuan’s body shook again, and his eyes returned to normal.

He looked at Tang Ye, eyes filled with horror, as if he had seen a ghost.

"You... you... how is this possible!"

"How is it not possible? I can control your body at any time! To put it simply, you are me, but I am not you!"

Struggling to suppress the shock in his heart, Song Muyuan stared blankly at Tang Ye. Only now did he realize how terrifying Tang Ye was. With such an ability, even if he wanted to resist, he had no power to do so!

Absolute control—that’s absolute control!

Tang Ye possessed superpowers that ordinary zombies, and humans couldn’t accept—an existence so terrifying that it couldn’t be described simply as a zombie. He had surpassed the realm of evolution; this was not a zombie, it was a god!

Only the bizarre deities defined in human society’s mythology—a God!—could describe someone with such terrifying abilities as Tang Ye!

Tang Ye smiled. He had done all that on purpose to dispel any strange ideas Song Muyuan might harbor. Once a deal is struck with a zombie, you don’t have to worry; it’ll be your most loyal partner.

However, intelligent zombies were the exception. Why do humans betray? Because they possess intelligence! Everyone has their own desires, and when they can’t get what they want from someone or something, they leave, and that is betrayal.

With intelligence, zombies also understand what interests are. Though this concept might not be fully comprehensible to these intelligent zombies, at least they have a basic understanding. With interests come betrayal.

Even wild beasts, when imprisoned, know about freedom and seek it. Freedom is in their best interest, let alone zombies with intelligence comparable to humans?

With intelligence comes deceit, disguises, and betrayal!

Tang Ye would not easily believe an intelligent zombie that superficially promised never to betray him because who knew what they really thought. Everything he did was, without a doubt, a threatening reminder to the other party: You better give up any thoughts of betraying me!
