39: Master, don't kill me!

Tian Ming fed the Zombie's hand to the Zombie, just to see if it could be self-sufficient.

These Zombies could heal themselves after being injured, so healing definitely required matter. Although this method seemed a bit cruel, it could at least clarify Tian Ming's doubts.

The Metal Zombie didn't resist; it opened its large mouth and began to gnaw. The crunching sound of its teeth chewing metal made one's scalp tingle.

The Zombie's hand was chewed to pieces by the Metal Zombie, a scene that was nauseating. Tian Ming couldn't help but frown, secretly cursing that this guy could actually eat it, truly having no humanity.

However, to Tian Ming's surprise, after the Metal Zombie ate the Zombie hand, the severed part actually began to heal.

Growth had already started on its wrist, but the growth rate was very slow. Seeing this, Tian Ming's doubts were finally resolved.

"As expected!" Tian Ming couldn't help but exclaim.

"The self-healing ability of these Zombies indeed requires corresponding matter. This ability is not strong, not even as good as Qiu Qian's self-healing ability."

"You just stay put. In three days, prepare to die." Tian Ming's tone was full of coldness.

This kind of Metal Zombie posed too great a threat to the Shelter and absolutely could not be kept, unless it could be controlled by him.

But Tian Ming currently didn't know how to control this kind of Zombie. Looking at its self-healing ability, Tian Ming was certain of one thing.

This Zombie's ability must come from the fragments of gaia ultraman, but the abilities he possessed were countless times stronger than those evolved by these Zombies.

The Zombie seemed to understand Tian Ming's words and immediately struggled, howling.

These mutated Zombies were once humans, so they could perceive the emotions in human speech.

"Struggle, struggle is useless. Keeping you is too dangerous. Let's see if Shen Yi can find a way to communicate with you? If he can, you might live a little longer?"

After Tian Ming finished speaking, he raised his hand, and the Zombie was firmly restrained on the platform.

The next morning, Shen Yi brought various instruments to the rooftop and began to pound, electrocute, and douse the Metal Zombie with water.

Shen Yuan held a laptop, collecting the electromagnetic waves emitted by the Metal Zombie.

Whenever Shen Yi tormented the Zombie, a sharp peak would appear.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day that Tian Ming returned. The two siblings were still tormenting the Zombie.

This Zombie was tormented to the point of not wanting to live. The siblings not only burned and electrocuted it but also dripped strong acid on its body to see if it could melt.

This Zombie's repair ability was very strong; minor injuries, such as penetrating wounds, could basically be repaired within an hour. It was immune to electric shocks, and if corroded by strong acid, as long as it was fed metal, it could recover within an hour.

"How is it? Two scientists, have you researched anything?"

Shen Yi stood up and said, "This guy is too strong. If it can't be completely pulverized, it simply can't be killed."

Tian Ming nodded and said, "There was nothing to ask in the first place. It was just whimpering and wailing; who knows what it was saying."

Tian Ming turned to Shen Yuan, "Have you found anything on your end?"

Shen Yuan pointed to the computer screen, which displayed the electromagnetic waves emitted by the Zombie. She said, "I found that the electromagnetic wave frequency of this Zombie is very special, with a certain pattern, but not much was collected, and besides, this guy isn't cooperative."

"You two have tormented it so badly, it would be strange if it cooperated. I thought I was the King of Hell, but I didn't expect you two to be even more like the King of Hell than me."

After tormenting it for so long, they still found nothing. However, when the Zombie looked at the two siblings, it wanted to escape, but being bound in place, it couldn't move at all.

"Forget it, forget it, don't bother anymore. I'll send it on its way early." Tian Ming waved his hand; he hadn't expected the two siblings to research anything useful.

With no clues and a severe lack of equipment, how could they possibly research a useful communication method?

Tian Ming reassembled the nano-filaments, preparing to finish off the Zombie directly. He walked towards the Zombie, and when the Zombie saw Tian Ming approaching, it immediately let out a low growl, as if begging for mercy.

Shen Yuan watched the waveform received by the radio receiver; it was a new waveform, oscillating regularly.

"Boss, don't kill him yet, I have a new discovery." Shen Yuan quickly said.

"Don't bother, just kill it. This guy is all metal, even its blood is metal ions. Although there's no risk of virus transmission, it's too dangerous, so it's better to kill it. I can't possibly watch a Zombie all day long, can I?"

Just as Tian Ming was about to act, countless tiny electric arcs suddenly appeared on the Zombie's skin. The arcs exploded, and Tian Ming, who was about to slice the Zombie into pieces, was shocked.

"Damn it, little thing, you dare to shock me. You two have charged it with too much electricity; now it's overflowing." Tian Ming turned his head, jokingly saying.

"Wait, Master, don't kill me, don't kill me." The sudden voice startled Tian Ming.

"Who? Who's speaking?" Tian Ming turned his head, looking at the Zombie, and another voice came from beside his ear.

"It's me, Master, it's me speaking. I have completely submitted to you. Please spare me; I will tell you all our secrets."

The Zombie didn't open its mouth, but Shen Yuan's computer displayed dense waveforms. Tian Ming was stunned, and the two siblings, seeing Tian Ming's delay, also fell into confusion.

"Boss, didn't you say you were going to kill it?"

"It's begging me for mercy, didn't you hear it?" Tian Ming said with a look of surprise.

"It clearly didn't speak."

Shen Yi looked puzzled, while Shen Yuan said with a serious expression, "Boss was just shocked by it, and it has been emitting electromagnetic waves. That shock just now should have established a language sense between it and Boss. Boss can directly translate what the Zombie says in his mind. This Zombie should have established some kind of communication link with Boss."

Tian Ming also nodded slightly and said, "This Metal Zombie calls me Master; this shouldn't be some kind of connection, this should be an acknowledgment of its master, right?"

Tian Ming was suddenly a little excited. If these Zombies that had evolved intelligence could truly acknowledge a master, then it would be interesting. But how strong was the binding force of this acknowledgment?

The carbon fiber binding the Zombie disappeared, and the Metal Zombie immediately regained its freedom. It didn't choose to escape but instead lay on the ground, showing signs of submission.

"I ask you, what was that shock you gave me just now?"

"This is a spiritual contract. Among evolved Zombies, the stronger party can directly establish a spiritual contract with the weaker party. Just now, Boss wanted to kill me. We cannot establish a spiritual contract with humans. I was just trying to choose to submit to you, but I didn't expect to succeed..."

Only Tian Ming could hear what the Zombie said; the two siblings, Shen Yuan, looked at each other. In their eyes, Tian Ming seemed to be talking to himself.

"Since you can evolve by eating metal, why did you still attack the Shelter?" Tian Ming asked his question.

"Eating metal only evolves the body, but eating people can make oneself smarter."

What the Zombie said made sense, and Tian Ming couldn't refute it for a moment. One grows the body, the other grows the brain. He didn't expect Zombies to also pay attention to balanced nutrition?

The Metal Zombie continued, "It can also be between peers, but the peer's brain needs to be shattered and lose life, only then can it be devoured."

"Do you know that you are also human, at least you once were!" Tian Ming asked.

"I know, but my current intelligence has nothing to do with the human me I once was."
