Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 217: Just a brave and righteous person

Actually, Elijah could roughly guess that it was probably about subconsciously making people think that eating zombie flesh was normal...

To be honest, this kind of suggestion goes against human intuition and generally wouldn't succeed.

But Elijah glanced at Kylie. If it was combined with Mind stun, it wouldn't be impossible!

However, this kind of suggestion needs continuous reinforcement.

Otherwise, one day, the other party will break through this hypnotic suggestion, and what's happening now will appear before their eyes!

That's also why Elijah initially chose to gradually deepen the hypnotic suggestion, step by step, and the content of the suggestion shouldn't trigger instinctive resistance.

Matthew's throat was torn apart by Wendy, blood gushing out continuously, and he was about to die.

Elijah quickly stepped forward, pulled Wendy away, and used his healing ability to treat Matthew's wounds, preventing him from dying immediately!

"I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him!"

Wendy, covered in blood, struggled fiercely to continue gnawing on Matthew, but she couldn't break free from Elijah's restraint.

Wendy bit Elijah's arm, and with a crack, almost broke her canine teeth!

The intense pain brought Wendy back to her senses. She stared blankly at Elijah's arm gleaming with a metallic sheen, sitting motionless.

"We can't kill him now. He's still useful. If we kill him now, those controlled and hypnotized by him or the zombies will immediately riot. Wait until I successfully take over here, then you can deal with him as you please!"

Upon hearing this, Wendy looked up at Elijah in astonishment.

"Who... who are you exactly?"

"Me? Just a brave and righteous person!"

Elijah chuckled.

"Just kidding. I'm here on behalf of Olivia to find her mother, Kylie! Didn't expect this place to be so eye-opening!"

"Olivia? So, Nathan's death is related to you?"

"That's right!"

Elijah didn't deny it. As for how Wendy knew about Nathan's death? It must have been Matthew figuring out that his Seed of Consciousness had an extra spot.

"Now, I want to peacefully take over here. Will you cooperate?"

"Let you control us, hypnotize us, and continue to eat people?"

A mocking smile appeared on Wendy's lips, indicating she had already guessed Elijah's abilities!

"I'm not that disgusting. I don't do such disgusting things!"

Elijah sneered.

"Then how did you become so powerful?"

Wendy didn't believe it!

"You consume zombie flesh, eat the flesh of awakened beings. Essentially, you absorb the mutated flesh and blood energy of the other person, causing yourself to mutate or grow awakened! But in this world, it's not just humans who have awakened mutations—animals, plants, seafood, all have awakened mutations, as long as one masters the breeding and cultivation methods...

Unfortunately, we happen to have mastered them!"

After listening to Elijah's words, Wendy was half-believing!

At this moment, she desperately hoped she could read Elijah's mind, which would help her confirm the truth.

Unfortunately, her second-tier telepathy could only help her detect the hypnotic suggestions set by Matthew just now, but still couldn't read Elijah's mind.

With just this point, Wendy understood that she was helpless against the man in front of her!

She could only cooperate with this man!

Unless she wasn't afraid of death and resisted to the end!

And she had no hope that if she didn't cooperate, Elijah would spare her!

Did she want to die?

Naturally, she didn't. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been hypnotized by Matthew!

After venting, her reason returned, and she had to consider how to choose next!

And the answer was obvious—she could only take a gamble!

Could it be worse than the past half month?

"I will cooperate with you..."

"Very good!"

Elijah nodded approvingly.

"It's good that you're willing to cooperate. When I realized Matthew's capabilities were similar to mine, I thought of a better way to handle this place. The premise of this method is to subdue Matthew without killing him."

Elijah paused, considering Wendy as the optimal candidate for cooperation within YLK Group, someone trusted and unlikely to be questioned.

"If Wendy didn't cooperate, Elijah would have to resort to some special means. For example, using Kylie's Mind stun combined with his abilities for hypnotic suggestions would be quite effective! Now that Wendy is willing to cooperate, it saves a lot of trouble! However, necessary precautions are still required."

Elijah pricked his finger, extracting a drop of blood containing Seed of Consciousness, and said to Wendy, "I won't impose excessive hypnotic suggestions on you, but I need your abilities and an added insurance."

"I understand," Wendy replied, not resisting, and obediently ingested Elijah's Seed of Consciousness.

In an instant, Matthew's Seed of Consciousness within Wendy was crushed and dissolved by Elijah's, becoming nutrients to sustain himself.

"All right, now let's reintroduce ourselves. I'm Elijah, your future leader. Next, I need you to cooperate with me in taking over the entire YLK Group."

Elijah proceeded to hypnotically suggest to Wendy, reinforcing her trust in him and preventing any thoughts of betrayal.

Elijah's third-tier hypnotic abilities were more dominant and powerful compared to Matthew's second-tier, completing the process silently and seamlessly.

Though Elijah could command Wendy forcibly if he chose, he refrained and only applied suggestions that wouldn't arouse suspicion or resistance.

"Elijah... sure," Wendy nodded. The more she observed Elijah, the more trustworthy he seemed. She eagerly asked, "What do I do next?"

"First, introduce me to the management of YLK Group— who they are, how many awakened individuals there are, their abilities, who Matthew controls, who resists the idea of eating human flesh, who doesn't mind, or even enjoys it..."

"Understood." Continue your adventure with m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net

Wendy began detailing the YLK Group's management structure to Elijah, including Nathan, Dominic, Theodore, herself, and another manager named Ian, who Elijah hadn't met because Ian was currently leading a team to a storage base on the western outskirts, bordering the neighboring county.

They were killing zombies along the way, collecting supplies, and clearing roads for easier vehicle movement.

"But Dominic will lead a group today to replace Ian's team and bring back the first batch of supplies, allowing them to rest for two days," Wendy explained.

"That's quite humane of you, having substitutes," Elijah chuckled upon hearing this.

"Being constantly outdoors can strain everyone's spirits. And Matthew needs to reinforce his hypnotic suggestions, hence the three-day rotation. Except for me, as I only need to focus on training new recruits and monitoring everyone's psychological state without going outside."

Elijah nodded, indicating his understanding, and continued to inquire about the abilities of the mentioned individuals.
