"Brother Lei, what do we do next?"
Xia Yuhe felt a little unsatisfied.
"Go ask that big rat if it's willing to submit to me. If not, kill it and roast its meat."
"Is rat meat still edible? It's disgusting!"
"Haha... How would you know if you haven't tried it? Maybe it tastes pretty good!"
Ye Lei found their disgusting expressions quite amusing.
Xia Yuhe walked up to the giant rat, concentrated her mind, and sent out her thoughts.
"Brother Rat, did you see that? It was Brother Lei who saved you. How are you going to thank us?"
"Little sister, of course Brother Mouse saw it. I will never forget your life-saving grace. However, I'm still tied up here!"
The giant rat is quite cunning; if you untie it, it'll run faster than anyone else.
"No, Brother Lei, I said you have to agree to go with him before he'll untie you."
"You want me, a rat, to submit to a human? You're really looking down on me!"
In the eyes of the giant rats, humans are the most lowly animals.
"If that's what you're saying, then I probably can't save you!"
This was something Ye Lei had instructed him to do.
What do you want?
The giant rat was a little scared.
"Well, aren't they going to send you to the lab? Brother Lei is planning to spare you that pain."
"Then hurry up and release this rat!"
"Brother Rat, you're overthinking it. Brother Lei will send you to see your ancestor."
"Ugh! This is killing me! Rat meat doesn't taste good!"
The giant rat thought Ye Lei wanted to eat meat.
"That goes without saying, Brother Lei just wants the crystal core on your forehead."
Xia Yuhe finally told the giant rat Ye Lei her intentions.
"That one on my head? That won't do, if you take it off, I'll die."
"Then you'll have no choice but to submit to us. I promise to treat you well, Brother Rat."
Xia Yuhe also thought the giant rat was quite amusing, but she didn't want it to die there.
Let me think about it!
"Sure, but not for too long!"
Xia Yuhe withdrew from the giant rat's consciousness.
"Brother Lei, it doesn't seem too willing!"
Xia Yuhe said to Ye Lei.
"That's easy, just remove its crystal core."
After saying that, Ye Lei took out a Swiss Army knife.
"Wait, let it think about it!"
"Okay, let's clean this place up first!"
Ye Lei pointed to the four soldiers on the ground.
"How are we going to clean this up? If this gets discovered, we'll be in big trouble."
Bena knew how serious a crime it was to kill a soldier.
"That's easy, just destroy the evidence!"
"ah!"
Xia Yuhe and Bei Anna were both taken aback.
Ye Lei stripped the soldiers of all their equipment, leaving them with only a pitiful pair of underwear, and then stored all these spoils in his spatial storage.
He firmly believes that these uniforms will be of great use in the future.
Immediately afterwards, he controlled the bloodthirsty bats to pounce like hungry wolves, and began to frantically tear apart the soldiers' corpses.
Under the onslaught of those iron claws and sharp beaks, the corpse was quickly disfigured, turning into a pile of white bones in the blink of an eye, without even a drop of blood flowing out.
The bloodthirsty bat, having eaten its fill, nodded contentedly before flying to a tall building by the roadside. Perhaps it had eaten too much and needed to find a place to digest immediately.
Ye Lei walked up to the giant rat, focused his mind, and tried to control the zombie.
Soon, the system's voice echoed in his mind.
The zombies are too powerful; control has failed.
"In that case, don't blame me."
Ye Lei muttered something, took out his Swiss Army knife. He had already given the giant rat a chance; he couldn't stay here any longer.
How many level 1 crystal cores could bring the same benefits as a single level 3 crystal core? Ye Lei didn't know yet, but he knew without even thinking about it.
"Brother Rat, hurry up and agree, or you'll be dead."
Xia Yuhe saw Ye Lei's actions and knew that he had made up his mind.
"Are you really going to harm me, this rat?"
"To put it bluntly, you're just a rat that everyone wants to kill. Kill one of you, and there are plenty more."
"Ah! You're going to wipe out my entire clan? No way! I'd better go with you!"
"That means you agree!"
"Sigh, there's nothing I can do about it!"
The giant rat could only let out a sigh.
"Brother Lei, wait, it has agreed."
When Ye Lei's Swiss Army knife was only 10cm away from the giant rat, Xia Yuhe stopped it in time.
"Oh, that's more like it. It's just a big rat, but it really thinks it's some kind of monster."
Ye Lei refocused his attention and tried to control the zombie.
Soon, the system's voice echoed in his mind.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully bound yourself to a zombie.]
After the system notification, the giant rat actually raised its head, looked at Ye Lei, and waited for him to give it an order.
[Please name the zombie for easier control.]
Since it's a rat that can burrow underground, let's call it Tu Xingsun (Earth-bound Sun).
[Zombie Name Successfully Acquired: Tu Xingsun]
As if he understood, Tu Xingsun lowered his proud rat head.
The system voice echoed in my mind again.
[Congratulations, host, you have completed the control task. Your score has increased by 5000 points.]
"Alright, untie it!"
Ye Lei knew he had succeeded, but what use was a guy who could only burrow underground?
Xia Yuhe and Beanna quickly went up and untied the military ropes binding Tu Xingsun.
"Let's go. We can't stay here any longer. The army will likely be here soon."
