31 Its Fun To Stay At The Y.M.C.A! (1/2)

The army just stopped a few meters away from where Leo and the rest are located.

”Captain, w-what the heck is that?” the lieutenant asked with a trembling voice while looking at the tank he had never seen before and he especially pointed his finger at the red humanoid thing that looks like a robot.

The other soldiers immediately got down from the tanks and started killing the zombies around them and after that, they took positions around them vigilantly in case some of the stray zombies suddenly gets a chance to bite one of them, after all the place they are currently at is at the eye of this zombie storm, fortunately the zombie wave is mostly concentrated towards the front of the Scorpion Tank and there are only a few dozens zombies that would appear around them which they immediately dispatch using their melee weapons.

”Sir!Sir! What are your orders!? That thing is coming towards us!” the Lieutenant repeatedly called out to his Captain who was looking dazed towards the direction of the unknown tank.

”W-what?” the Captain immediately snapped out of his dazed when he heard his lieutenant yelling to get his attention and only then did he also notice that the red looking robot is heading towards them that he hastily barked commands ”Get ready in case that robot thing attacks and you're allowed to fire at will if it attacks us!”

Thud~ Thud~ Thud~

The soldiers felt like the dull sound produced by the 'red robot's' every footstep was like in sync with their hearts thumping on their chest which made all of them sweat in nervousness.

”Halt!” the captain shouted as he pointed his rifle at Leo but instead he continued moving forward without any intentions to stop like he didn't even heard the soldier's yell.

Seeing that this menacing humanoid robot didn't seem to heard him, he tried again ”Halt! If you take more steps forward, we will be force to open fire!”

Just as those words came out from the captain'smouth, 'it' immediately halted on 'its' step.

Seeing that it finally stopped made the captain and the rest of soldiers sighed in relief but the captain made a bitter smile as he put down his weapon and silently held his hand that was holding gun, to stop it from shivering.

But their sudden relief immediately suddenly turned into despair when they saw pointing ”it's” gun at them but this wouldn't have made them feel despair as they would have instead put up a fight if a conflict breaks out but they saw the tank from around a hundreds meters away suddenly pointing its cannon towards them.

”Put down your guns and put your hands in the air. Failure to comply will result to execution!” they suddenly heard it say in a very robotic voice.

And they complied as they threw their weapons on the ground and raised their hands. Of course if this was the normal times, they wouldn't have easily gave up but because of what happened today was putting too much stress in their minds and it resulted to it making their brave spirits unstable.

As these soldiers feels death looming above their heads…

Five minutes earlier…

Leo slowly walked towards where the groups of soldiers stopped at and then he suddenly remembered something ”Hey System, I've been meaning to ask you these but I kept forgetting about it. Do you have the ability to control someone's mind? Like when one of my main quest rewards are about me becoming Amanda's boyfriend? Did you do a mind control on her?” asked the system within his mind with utter seriousness.

”No, Host should not forget that you're the one who wanted Amanda to become your woman when you were given the survey you answered before all of these happened. Becoming Amanda's boyfriend as one of the rewards is actually just a motivational, so that the host would be more eager to complete the quest. Even if the host didn't successfully made her fall for you, the system would have given you a compensation as another reward” said the system on his mind.

”Wait, wait, wait...are you saying that you didn't do something on her mind? Then what about Michelle being included in it?” Leo was still doubtful, after all he despise mind control.

”It's because the woman named Michelle also fell in love to Host, the moment that you saved those two girls from the verge of being the meals of those zombies. You had already successfully deeply imprinted your figure within their minds, as they started to admire you more and more when you saved them, protected them, gave them and their families a safe haven where they can at least live in safety.Then their feelings of admiration for you slowly turned into endearment. Just think of yourself as their knight in shining armor”

”I see, i see, I thought you forcefully made the girls to love which would have made me angry. After all, I'd rather slowly woo both of them instead of being forcefully imprinted by a thought not naturally theirs” Leo sighed in relief then he jolted in stop as he heard someone yelling.

”Halt! If you take more steps forward, we will be force to open fire!”
