"But……"
The low-level zombie asked worriedly, "Will Onimaru agree? If a human can control a zombie king, he must have a lot of leverage over him, right? What makes us think we can persuade Onimaru?"
"It's simple, let's put its weaknesses in our hands."
Ran Shi said with great certainty, "What if we can't get him? Then we'll just make the person who's got Onimaru under his control disappear... But this is a last resort. Zhang Hao is a difficult human to kill, so we have to find the perfect opportunity."
The low-level zombie asked, "Understood. What about the Dawn Society's strategist? What should we do with him?"
“We can let such a human go. You can send someone to bring Hu Xiaonan over. But if it’s absolutely necessary… then kill him. Without his prophetic abilities, Zhang Hao is like cutting off his own arm.”
"Yes, Lord Ran Shi."
He watched his men leave.
Ran Shi gazed at the faint crimson before him.
A natural disaster is imminent, and the zombie situation will be truly reversed, with humans inevitably becoming food for the zombies.
...
...
A few days later.
Fang Ping and Wu Yanfeng returned with the main force.
Even the scattered teams from surrounding villages and towns have all returned to their base camp.
According to the original plan...
They started distributing masks to everyone, but they hoarded even more.
It's better to make them yourself. Fortunately, Zhang Hao had stockpiled some machinery and equipment beforehand, including mask manufacturing equipment.
The Dawn Society also has many professionals, so mass production of masks is not difficult.
Time passed little by little.
In just one month, the blood-red mist in the air grew thicker and thicker, and the sky was tinged with red clouds.
However, construction in Leizhou, Linhai, and Qiongzhou has never stopped, as the impact of the meteorite disaster caused severe building collapses that cannot be restored in a short period of time.
Fortunately, there are many zombies available as free labor.
With over 30 million zombies scattered throughout the three major cities, the Dawn Society has recovered a significant amount of its strength.
Leizhou City, northern suburbs.
Zombies, shackled and carrying bricks, numbly moved back and forth.
Some zombies were hammering on the abandoned city walls with pickaxes, and some were even using shovels to scrape cement onto the new city walls, their techniques quite skilled... The cement was scraped very smoothly.
You're asking how these zombies are so capable?
There's no other reason than practice makes perfect.
Although there are many zombies, there are also human overseers responsible for monitoring them.
To prevent these zombies from suddenly quitting, the ones capable of doing delicate work are all zombies with some intelligence. The zombies without intelligence are not dealt with, but are instead used for "human-powered power generation".
It's similar to a device that generates electricity by riding a bicycle.
These zombies are brainless...
They can only do such low-level work, but it is precisely because of these zombies that the Dawn Society's electricity can keep running.
As for zombies with high IQs.
Its use is even greater; it can be used to manage zombies that are even slightly intelligent.
The Dawn Society has always instilled in them the idea that "labor is the most glorious," while Onimaru, as the zombie king, oversees the overall situation and prevents any zombie from rebelling. He can't control them psychologically... at least not physically.
Zombies that perform well can be rewarded with some human flesh.
The "human flesh" wasn't from living people, but rather from the rotting flesh of those who died in the dungeon, which they enjoyed eating.
Inside an abandoned temporary tent.
A small, boyish-looking zombie was holding a construction plan in its hand, with another small zombie standing next to it, who was naturally its trusted confidant, Guiyin.
Oni-yin honestly reported, "Lord Onimaru, the reconstruction of the 12th block in the southern suburbs is almost complete. As per the requirements given to us by the Dawn Society, once the remaining 13th, 14th, and 15th blocks are reconstructed, we can take a break."
Onimaru said helplessly, "We won't be able to rest for long. The eastern and southern suburbs are still ruins, and the damage is the most severe there. There are simply too few intelligent zombies. These delicate tasks are beyond the capabilities of mindless zombies."
"We probably only have one day to rest before heading to the eastern suburbs to oversee the reconstruction plan. These plans... have arranged all our work for the next ten years, so don't expect to get a good rest."
"..."
Guiyin couldn't help but ask, "Lord Guimaru, why don't you resist? Zhang Hao claims to be giving us a decent job, but in reality, he's completely exploiting us. What's the difference between that and being a slave?"
"There's no difference, so what can you do? Resisting is just courting death, isn't it?"
"But what about the dignity of being a zombie?"
"Can dignity be eaten like meat?"
Onimaru stared at Oni-yin, his expression cold, and said, "You think I don't want to fight back? You think I don't feel any pain when I see zombies humiliatedly carrying bricks, cement, and steel bars?!"
“I’m more heartbroken than any zombie, but Zhang Hao is a mountain weighing on our heads. As long as he’s alive… we can’t fight back. Fighting means death. Aren’t you afraid?”
Guiyin stubbornly declared, "I'm not afraid! What is death? To be enslaved by humans like this... I cannot endure it. My dignity will not allow me to do this. So what if I die? I will resist!"
"You don't care about the future of zombies?"
"What future?"
"If we are wiped out by Zhang Hao, the zombies will have no future."
Anger flared in Onimaru's eyes: "What do you mean there's no future? If we die... there will be countless zombies. Lord Onimaru, don't you have the courage to sacrifice your life for your people? Or have you been clinging to life all along...?"
"Shut up! You bastard!"
