Day ten of the Long March...
Everyone started building boats without even having time to eat breakfast, while those who hadn't signed up went to chop wood with Xu Yibo.
First, they planed the lumber. Duan Wenlin sat aside without a word. Yang Silin walked up to him, "Why aren't you working?" Duan Wenlin pouted, "Do you want your chief designer to do manual labor?" Yang Silin put her hands on her hips, "Even the chief designer has to work! Who do you think you are!" Duan Wenlin helplessly spread his hands and picked up a carving knife to get to work.
Suddenly, a figure appeared behind a small sand dune. I frowned, "Yang Silin, you watch everyone here!" She replied, "Okay!"
I sprinted over, grabbed the Intelligent Zombie, and it was startled. It scratched me with its claws with a "snap!" I quickly injected the vaccine, and instantly felt refreshed and full of strength! I captured it alive and brought it back.
Yang Silin was very surprised to see me bring back a zombie, "This..." I smiled, "Let me tell you! This kid evolved me! I brought him back to interrogate! To see what his intentions are!" Yang Silin stood up, "Congratulations, Director Xiao!" I smiled and looked at the zombie, "I still have to thank you!" The zombie looked wronged, "I was just following my boss's orders!" I looked at him, and he looked even more wronged. I asked, "How old are you?" He immediately said, "I'm twelve!" I smiled, "It seems I have to call you brother!" He huffed, "Let me go quickly! I'm innocent!" I sighed, "Unfortunately, you have to help us finish building the boats!" He clasped his hands together, "Boss! I beg you! I'll help you build the boats, and you let me go! Give me food!" I looked at the sea, "Unfortunately, I don't know what you zombies eat!"
He sighed, "Anything! As long as I finish the work and you let me go!" Yang Silin suddenly stood up, "Help us modify the boat so it doesn't leak!" He really wanted to escape and couldn't help but cry, "I'll agree to anything! I'll agree to anything!" Yang Silin smiled, "Do you want to become human?" The Intelligent Zombie was stunned, "Become human... Of course I do! But it's just a foolish dream..." I smiled, "We have a way to make you human!"
He knelt with a plop, "Boss! I want to become human! I recognize you as my boss!" I frowned, "Uh... okay! Get up! I can make you human!" He kowtowed twice, "Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!" I took out the C-PN2 vaccine and injected it into him. He fainted.
Ten minutes later, his appearance changed into that of a human, with peach blossom eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips. He looked like a handsome young man. I pouted, "That's not as handsome as this director!" Yang Silin chuckled, and playfully asked, "What! Am I not good-looking?" Yang Silin didn't speak.
The Intelligent Zombie—no, the human—woke up. He looked at his hands, his skin. I gave him a mirror, and he shouted excitedly, "Ah!" I smiled and shook my head, "Do you have a name?" He shook his head, "We zombies are all numbered. I'm from the K Family, number K438." I pondered, "You're from the K Family, so your surname will be Ke! Number 438... let's call you Ke Yongzhong! Forever loyal!" He knelt and kowtowed again, "Thank you, boss, for the name!" I waved my hand, "We don't call people boss here!"
He thought for a moment, "Yongzhong was wrong, what should I call you?" I smiled, "Kowtow to me three times and call me Master!" He smiled and quickly kowtowed three times, calling out, "Hello, Master!"
