Uncle Nine looked at Wencai as if he were an idiot and said, "Are you stupid? That petty thief stole from a penniless mortuary and even stole a corpse."
“We can’t steal it, but can we let it leave on its own?” Qiu Sheng had a sudden inspiration and quickly said, “If it’s a zombie that runs out on its own, then burning it won’t be a problem.”

“It seems that fate has made the decision for you. Now there’s no need to hesitate,” Wang Han said to Uncle Jiu.
"This isn't the time to talk about this. Finding the zombie is the most important thing. Come with me," Uncle Nine said, running out of the coffin room and leading the group to get their eating utensils.
