Chapter 739 - 610: No. 1 Cheng Xu!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the female zombie was explaining the situation to Zhang Su, the zombies inside the carriage seemed to break free and gradually showed their fierce nature. One by one, they threw themselves against the glass, their palms slapping loudly, the muffled sound resonating along the rails.

Everyone stepped back a few paces simultaneously, cautiously watching the windows, but thankfully the quality of the glass was solid, showing no signs of breaking.

"Why are they agitated again, is it loss of control?"

Zhang Su furrowed his brows and asked puzzledly.

The female zombie was clearly anxious, wanting to explain but unable to get clear words out. Meanwhile, the zombies inside the carriage were still rioting, and she hurriedly turned her head to look at the window, her dull blue-grey eyeballs sweeping back and forth, her jaw slightly trembling.

"Honey, I think she is transmitting signals to the zombies inside the carriage, whether it’s using her mind or her eyes, she can do it, but she needs to keep outputting, otherwise it’ll turn out like this!"

Zheng Xinyu said seriously.

This analysis gained everyone’s approval because the rampaging zombies inside the carriage gradually calmed under the female zombie’s soothing and returned to their previous state. This process took a certain amount of time, and in combat, it might be difficult to implement, but often if utilized well, it can subdue the enemy without fighting!

Zhang Su carefully observed for a moment, feeling Zheng Xinyu’s judgment was reasonable.

"Remarkable, this ability is remarkable!"

Zhang Su marvelled, and without waiting for the female zombie to completely calm all the zombies in the carriage, he patted her on the shoulder: "Come on, let me ask you, if you can communicate with them, hold up one finger; if you can control them, two!"

The female zombie hesitated for a while in her blue-grey eyes, then stretched out one finger. After thinking for a while, she erected the second finger but only halfway.

"What does that mean? Not sure if you can control?"

"Ow!"

The female zombie nodded lightly.

Zhang Su gradually grasped the way to communicate with the female zombie, treating her like a robot only capable of answering yes or no.

"So you’re saying that you think you are calming them down by communicating, but you’re not sure if it’s control, right?"

Given the female zombie’s expression was overly difficult, the task of detailed description fell to Zhang Su.

The female zombie nodded once more upon hearing Zhang Su’s words.

"That’s easy!"

"Is there a way..."

Zhang Su and Zhou Haotian spoke simultaneously.

"Oh, sorry, Brother Su, please go ahead..." Zhou Haotian’s emotional intelligence might not be particularly high, but he knew not to steal the leader’s thunder, so he hurriedly backed down.

"You can add to it."

Zhang Su instructed, then said to the female zombie: "After communicating, being heedful is almost no different from control. I don’t know how exactly you’re issuing commands, but you can try more complex behavioral manipulations. Let’s get them to kill each other directly, can you do it?"

"I meant to say that too, nothing to add..."

Zhou Haotian quickly interjected, although his intention was not to go that far, merely to test actions like getting the zombies to wave or jump.

"Ow ow."

The female zombie responded, not nodding or shaking her head, simply turned to look at the zombies in the carriage going berserk again.

The blue-grey eyes slowly rotated, no language, quietly.

This process indeed was quite time-consuming; the female zombie needed to calm the zombies inside the carriage first, then proceed to control the next step.

Under the railway bridge, Jia Shiqin smoked idly, looked up at the railway bridge, seeing only a bunch of heads due to the angle, completely not comprehending what people were studying around the train...

The tranquility continued, over three minutes passed in the blink of an eye, all the zombies inside the carriage returned to a quiet state, but showed no sign of fighting each other.

"Taking quite some time..."

"It might be exhausting."

"No worries, let’s wait some more."

Zhang Su patiently waited for another two minutes, finally, changes occurred inside the carriage!

Two zombies standing against the glass turned around, with no sign suddenly raised their arms and started attacking the zombie in front of them, first raising their arms to tug fiercely, then opening their mouths wide, dried lips cracking, sharp teeth biting into the sunken skull of another zombie.

Zombie heads aren’t particularly hard, but due to their roundness, they couldn’t exert force with their jaws and didn’t bite through, only scraped off a piece of scalp with dried hair attached, leaving a ghastly wound at the crown, and the attacking zombie didn’t abandon the attempt, gnawing at the skull relentlessly.

Everyone watching this scene, though soundless, vividly imagined the "clang clang" sounds, feeling a pang of toothache.

The zombie being attacked was utterly passive, just standing there foolishly without fighting back, until the opponent’s hardened fingers poked into the brain through the eye socket, it never resisted a bit even at death.

Confirmed, control!

"My gosh... virus program invasion!"

Wu Lue looked at the scene in shock, his eyes almost popping out.

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Dezhu instinctively asked.

Zhang Su explained: "If you think of zombies as a system crafted by another civilization, then she is like the virus program invading this system, able to recklessly subvert rules!"

"Ow ow."

Evidently agreeing with Zhang Su’s words, the female zombie shook her distorted body looking at him, then wobbled her body.

"Is this... she, expressing happiness?"

Pan Guoliang asked with a peculiar look, grinning.

Zhang Su was amused by the female zombie’s zombie dance-like moves, nodding and saying: "Seems like that’s the case..."

"No, Brother Su, why do I feel, don’t take this to heart, sister-in-law, you neither, why do I feel this zombie lady seems awfully close to Brother Su?"

Qi Xiaoshuai said thoughtfully.

"Hey, you feel that too? I sensed it as well."

"I also have that feeling... but I’m not warped enough to be jealous of zombies, alright!"

"Brother Su, do you know spells?"

Qi Xiaoshuai’s words got many people’s agreement instantly, including Zheng Xinyu.

"If I knew spells, I’d first make you perform a strip dance here! But what you mentioned is true..."

Zhang Su couldn’t argue, the female zombie looked at him as if acknowledging him as a master, unnecessary to refute, anyone could see clearly.

Zhou Haotian rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "I reckon, the zombie sister’s current state might relate to the medication before; think about it, back then, the decision to save was by Brother Su, feeding the medicine was also Brother Su, although not fully saved, preserved her consciousness, this might be why she’s particularly close to Brother Su!"

"Hmm..."

Many people recognized Zhou Haotian’s perspective, including Zhang Su himself, who also felt perhaps it was the only explanation.

"Since her special ability is already proven, I think it’s necessary to give her a name, well, let’s call you... never mind, a fresh name, start anew!"

Zhang Su initially thought of asking the female zombie’s original identity but considering her extremely limited expression ability, asking a name would require guessing with a letter board in pinyin, better to directly give a new identity.

"Ow oh!"

The female zombie had no objection to this proposal, nodding happily.

Naturally, naming fell onto Zhang Su’s shoulders, he pondered, a smile curves on his lips: "I think Luezi’s previous analogy fits well, you’ll be Virus Program, actually, let’s call you Program, Program One, capable of invading and executing zombie’s top command program!"
