The Most Random System

Lin Li waved his hand, attracting a few ’glances’ with his unobtrusive words.

Soon, the nearby zombies, as naturally as before, began an endless cycle of stopping just short—

F*ck, it’s a human, tasty ლ(´ڡ`ლ) — (getting closer, distance less than three meters) F*ck, it’s one of us, boring — (walking away, distance more than three meters) No, wait, it’s a human, tasty ლ(´ڡ`ლ) in an infinite loop.

Time to test the ability.

Anyone who’s studied science knows you need to eliminate all interference during an experiment.

For example, during a rectal examination, if there’s a doctor named Wang Ze, and he pulls down his own pants while you’re doing yours, don’t worry; it’s just Wang Ze showing you the control group. No harm intended.

In short, to exclude other zombies’ interference during the test, Lin Li found a slightly open street corner and settled in with three zombies.

Also counts as a private meeting with zombie fans, really not a good idol.

These three: one’s dragging half of its intestines, another’s head is tilted at a bizarre angle, and the last one seems to have an affinity for a graffiti-covered wall, slowly scraping the wall with its finger bones.

Designated zombie, "Voice of All Things," activate.

The ability seems to have been successfully used.

Lin Li first attempted the simplest command, ordering the zombie scraping the wall to "stop" with mental telepathy.

No reaction.

"Stop." This time he said it out loud.

The zombie’s movement suddenly froze, its finger stopped in mid-air, its entire body like it was paused, only its tilted head slowly turned slightly.

It works, but requires speaking. Lin Li raised an eyebrow at the result, somewhat pleased.

Yu Guang glanced at the remaining two, and they were also still.

As long as they hear it, they’ll obey orders?

Lin Li pointed at the zombie in front of him: "You, now, step back three times."

One step, two steps, three steps, the zombie moved awkwardly but followed through. It stumbled on the third step, tripping its left foot over its right, and fell flat on its back with a thud, stirring up a small cloud of dust.

It wriggled on the ground a few times, its posture becoming even more ridiculous.

As for the other two, one was looking at itself and didn’t move, while the other, whose gaze wasn’t on itself, also stepped back three times.

"Basic commands are understood; vision interferes with command compliance."

"From now on, you’re number one, you’re number two, you’re number three."

"Number one, step forward." Coming to number two’s back, Lin Li commanded.

This time, numbers two and three didn’t move.

"They can understand their code names."

Lin Li turned to the intestine-dragging zombie, trying something more complex:

"Number two, crawl over there, pick up what you think is most useful to me from the ground, and crawl back to give it to me."

Lin Li pointed to the nearby open space; the only thing there was a rusty can.

The zombie let out louder raspy sounds from its throat, swept its gaze across the open space Lin Li pointed to, then moved to the designated spot, hanging its head low, not moving for a while.

Thinking the zombie couldn’t understand, just as Lin Li was about to test the next command, it picked up the can with its hand.

Lin Li raised an eyebrow but quickly issued a new command: "Number two, put 2 + 2 small stones into the can."

The zombie placed two stones, then another two.

"Place 3 - 2 small stones."

The zombie hesitated for a moment, then only placed one, without placing three and removing two.

"Empty it all, then place 2 - 3 small stones."

This time, the zombie was clearly crashed, its head shivering as it stared at the can, and even after Lin Li waited five minutes, nothing happened.

Guess it blue-screened.

Zombie.exe has stopped working.

They later tested the command "place 2 cubed small stones," and similarly, it crashed.

After several tests, Lin Li roughly understood how "Voice of All Things" issues commands and its limits.

Honestly, better than Lin Li anticipated.

A thought occurred.

Lin Li left that corner, looking at all the zombies wandering on the street, taking a deep breath expectantly, then shouted:

"Everyone, stop moving! Align with me!! Form four horizontal lines in height order!"

"Adjacent lines, one-arm distance front, back, left, right!!"

"Team members, feet together, arms naturally hanging, heads up, chests out, eyes forward—stand ready!"

"Attention!"

"At ease!"

"Salute!"
