The Most Random System

Lin Li felt a bit touched, because it was clear at a glance that these were the righteous heroes who, upon hearing the Lin Family Army’s recruitment call, joined without hesitation!

Taking a deep breath, Lin Li raised the loudspeaker and shouted at the charging zombie horde:

"Over there! Attention!!!!!!"

The burly zombie’s body suddenly froze, and its running action was instantly paused, as if someone had hit the pause button.

Zombies don’t adhere to biology, but they still somewhat obey the laws of physics. Thus, the massive inertia caused it to freeze in an incredibly awkward position, body leaning forward, with one foot suspended in the air, almost causing it to fall over.

The violent rage in their cloudy eyes quickly faded, replaced by a bewildered stupor.

The few "sidekicks" that heard it too came to an abrupt halt as well.

Lin Li nodded in satisfaction, jumped down from the cement block, walked with hands behind his back towards these newly formed "troublemakers," especially the burly zombie still in the charging posture.

Walking around the burly zombie, observing it up and down, Lin Li then tapped its rock-hard arm with the loudspeaker.

"Hmm, solid build, doesn’t seem to be just dead muscle, you were probably a martial artist before dying? Pity your brain’s not too sharp, daring to charge at me," Lin Li shook his head in disapproval, "But no worries! Our Lin Family Army accepts all! Seeing you’re so strong, you’ll be a vanguard from now on!"

Pointing at the burly zombie, Lin Li loudly announced through the loudspeaker:

"Listen up! You now have a new code name! You are... No. 67!"

Due to attrition along the way, there weren’t actually 67 zombies present, let alone 23 and 24 had just become available. However, Lin Li wasn’t planning to let newcomers inherit previous code names.

Because that might overheat the zombies’ already inefficient CPUs, causing errors in their code.

"Alright, No. 67, join the ranks! Stand at the first position in the front row! You’re the tallest!"

"And the rest of you," Lin Li pointed to the other newly halted zombies, "are 68, 69, and 70! Line up in order! Fill in the ranks!"

With the order given, No. 67 awkwardly put down its raised foot, trying to stand upright. Under Lin Li’s hopeful gaze, it trudged heavily, step by step, towards the designated spot in the front row’s first position.

The tall body squeezed out the original lead soldier, causing a small disturbance and low murmuring in the ranks.

Looking at his ever-expanding Lin Family Army, Lin Li couldn’t help but feel some gratification.

"Alright, you newbie eggs, don’t get too excited about just joining."

"Now, let me explain to you the core rules and noble mission of our Lin Family Army."

"First, let’s have a demonstration,"

Lin Li paused slightly here, then took a deep breath, raised his index finger to the sky:

"The second floor should be above the first floor!! Cultural workers need to have culture!"

As soon as Lin Li finished speaking, except for the four newly joined, still somewhat dazed zombies, the dozens of zombie veterans who had long been trained by Lin Li instantly activated, as if the same switch had been pressed, they—

Suddenly raised both hands above their heads, even with broken arms, they struggled to lift whatever remaining limbs upwards, and then... began jumping in place!!!

Their feet clumsily and rhythmically hopped up and down.

Thump thump, thump thump...

\0/!\0/!\0/!\0/!\0/!!!!!!

A dull sound of shoes or bare feet or even bones striking the ground echoed in the ruins, accompanied by the subtle noises from their already damaged bodies.

Some zombies, whose bodies were already at a critical point, fell apart or toppled over but continued to jump even while down.

They feel no pain!

Not because they are zombies!

But because they are basking in the sunlight brought by Lin Li (choking up) (tearing up) (moved)!!

Choking up.

Truly choking up:

Muddy fluids mixed with blood or pus streamed from their hollow eye sockets, eyeballs, or torn mouths, and their throats emitted even higher-pitched guttural sounds.

They cannot express their respect for Lin Li in words, nor shout Lin Li’s name aloud; they can only turn that will into their jumping effort and wailing volume.

This sudden drill puzzled the four newbie eggs, who stood in place doing nothing.

However, Lin Li was very pleased with the veterans’ self-initiative, nodding and smiling.

Then turning, he aimed the loudspeaker at the four newcomers:

"I am your Supreme Commander! Your General! To express your recognition of me, whenever I speak or make a head gesture, you must be like them, jumping in place with hands raised above head, and if your eyes can cry, find a way to cry! This is a symbol of our Lin Family Army’s unity! And more importantly, a military order!"

"Hah——!"

No. 67 reacted first, letting out a vague roar from its throat, imitating the veterans, raising both palms high and starting to jump in place.

The other three newbie fools, although a step behind, quickly followed suit.

In an instant, the entire Lin Family Army formation, regardless of derelict soldiers or seasoned veterans, was expressing their admiration for Lin Li in their own ways.

\0/!\0/!\0/!\0/!\0/!!!!!!

\0/!\0/!\0/!\0/!\0/!!!!!!

Standing on the cement block, Lin Li overlooked this devout scene below him, nodding in satisfaction.

Ladies and gentlemen, since I, have arrived.

Then, in this doomsday world already fallen into eternal night, the sun shall rise anew!!

Lin Li rubbed his temple.

Of course, Lin Li wasn’t massaging himself; it was just that after these twenty minutes of command testing, Lin Li realized that the "Voice of All Things" wasn’t a zero-cost ability.
