Chapter 216: I'm going to kill you
During this time, Wendy awakened her mind-reading superpower, inadvertently learning many details about Matthew's past, his abilities, and some of his nefarious thoughts.
She wanted to leave but didn't dare, fearing she couldn't survive alone in the apocalyptic world.
One day, while Matthew was out scavenging for supplies, he stumbled upon a plant that caused a reaction in Kylie.
He brought the plant back and gave it to Kylie.
To his astonishment, after eating the plant, Kylie awakened an ability and gained a certain level of consciousness, especially showing a strong reaction towards her daughter Olivia.
This excited Matthew immensely.
While playing with the submissive Kylie was enjoyable, what Matthew truly desired was the real, living Kylie, with her noble and elegant aura, capable of normal interaction.
The discovery of this plant gave Matthew hope that continued feeding might restore Kylie's memory.
He also suspected that this plant might be beneficial for humans, possibly even awakening abilities in them.
Thus, he began searching for more of these plants.
Not long after, Matthew found another plant. He secretly hypnotized Nathan and had him eat the plant as an experiment.
Nathan awakened the ability to turn invisible, which delighted Matthew, prompting him to search even harder for these plants.
After obtaining another one, he decided to consume it himself, which enhanced his abilities, advancing him to a second-tier ability user with the power to mimic others' abilities.
It was during this time that Matthew discovered Wendy also had an ability—mind reading.
He didn't know when she had awakened it, but he knew she must have read his thoughts.
This revelation shocked and angered him.
Though he had always looked out for Wendy, seeing her as a comrade from the same company who had once warned him during a crisis, he now felt betrayed and violated.
Matthew's anger was tempered by the fact that Wendy, influenced by his hypnosis, had not acted against him.
However, he couldn't tolerate having someone so close knowing all his secrets.
Using Kylie's Mind stun ability, Matthew kept Wendy in a state of fear and confusion, repeatedly hypnotizing and conditioning her until she became a compliant and promiscuous puppet who obeyed his every command.
Matthew then used Wendy's mind-reading ability to monitor those who joined him, discovering a secret in one of their minds: eating zombie flesh could also awaken abilities.
How had this man achieved it? Did he also consume human flesh?
Human flesh? Why would anyone eat human flesh?
How could anyone eat human flesh? Wendy was stunned.
The next moment, the hypnotic suggestions Matthew had implanted in her mind crumbled.
Scenes from the past half month flashed rapidly in Wendy's mind: Wendy voraciously eating zombie flesh, guiding newcomers to eat zombie flesh, eavesdropping on people's thoughts and reporting them to Matthew, and shamelessly seducing others, indulging in debauchery.
Back then, Wendy hadn't found anything wrong with these actions.
But now, she found them utterly repulsive, to the point where she wanted to strangle her former self. "Ugh..." Wendy couldn't help but crouch down and retch, as if trying to expel her past memories and her former self.
Elijah, who was about to plant his Seed of Consciousness in Wendy, was utterly baffled.
But then, something even more confusing happened.
After retching for a while, Wendy lifted her head, her eyes filled with blood—not the crimson of a zombie, but the kind of bloodshot look humans get when they are extremely angry.
Wendy then let out a low growl, "Matthew, I'm going to kill you!"
With that, Wendy exploded with a speed that even impressed Elijah, darting over to the limp, broken-limbed, unconscious Matthew.
She opened her mouth and bit down hard on Matthew's neck.
A spurt of blood shot out, splattering all over Wendy's face, transforming her once alluring face into a terrifying visage.
Combined with her current expression, she looked like a devil incarnate.
"Damn, what's going on?" Elijah was startled.

Logically, Matthew should have hypnotized Wendy to prevent her from ever harming him.
But now, Wendy's actions completely overturned Elijah's understanding.
For this to happen, there was only one possibility: Matthew's hypnotic suggestions had failed.
"What the hell kind of hypnotic suggestions did Matthew implant? Such deep hatred, such immense resentment!"
