The Mad Scientist’s Domesticated Little Zombie 48

Chapter 48: How Are the Wedding Preparations Going?…

Whether it was because Lin Ling was the Zombie Emperor, Shi Changyuan recovered exceptionally quickly, which even he himself hadn’t expected.

He had originally planned to lock himself at home and have Lin Ling write the observation reports for him. He had even installed a surveillance camera in the living room just in case.

But none of it was used.

In less than a night, under the little zombie’s watch, Shi Changyuan’s eyes had returned to the black that symbolized reason.

“Then are you still going to the laboratory today?”

The little zombie, seeing that Shi Changyuan had been studying himself all morning, brought his breakfast over and fed him a piece of meat.

“I’ve already taken leave. Why would I go back?”

Shi Changyuan followed Lin Ling’s movement and bit the meat off the little zombie’s fork. “But the data report for the research institute will be a bit difficult to write.”

“I can only say that as expected of the great Zombie Emperor, your power is completely different from other zombies.”

Although this was a compliment, the little zombie, who had been in the laboratory for so long, could still hear the meaning behind it. He let out a long “ah,” his eyes drooping, a little disappointed.

“Then is this data not of much use? Didn’t you get bitten for nothing?”

“How could it be?”

Shi Changyuan ruffled Lin Ling’s head. “The experiment needs a lot of data in the first place. I’m just giving everyone a start.”

“In a couple of days, when I go out for a couple of rounds, and there are more volunteers, the data will naturally increase. Then we can get accurate values.”

“Right now, I’m at most a mascot.”

“A mascot?”

Hearing this word, the little zombie snuggled closer to Shi Changyuan and pecked his cheek, comforting him, “It’s okay. Even if you’re not amazing and just a mascot, I still like you.”

Shi Changyuan felt the warmth on his cheek, his eyes smiling. “Alright, then I’ll rely on the great Zombie Emperor to protect me.”

The news that Shi Changyuan had completely transformed into a high-tier zombie almost immediately spread to all the high-level officials, not just in the research institute, but even high-level officials from other bases had sent people to inquire.

This was a research that was enough to reshape the world situation.

“We still need more of your cooperation.”

“Alright.”

The people at the research institute, after half a year, finally saw a completely successful example right in front of them.

“You’re doing research for me again?”

The moment Shi Changyuan came back, the little zombie went to check for any new marks on his body.

Ever since Shi Changyuan had deliberately spread the news, every time he came back from the laboratory, there would be many new needle marks on his arm, traces of various blood draws and tests.

“How is it for Lingling? It’s just a routine check, a regular monitoring, to see what changes have happened to my blood and genes.”

Shi Changyuan smiled and leaned down to kiss the young man’s forehead.

“Lingling doesn’t have to worry. I won’t be bullied.”

“After all, I’m the only case now. They’re watching me like a panda. It’ll be fine after a while.”

“Alright.”

The little zombie knew that Shi Changyuan wouldn’t lie to him about this kind of thing and make him worry.

He said it would be fine after a while, and he was not wrong. Soon, the news of the second successful case came out, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth…

Compared to Shi Changyuan, who had secretly transformed behind everyone’s back and didn’t even have an observation record, everyone’s attention was instantly drawn to the other examples, whose changes were slower and all very obvious and specific.

Shi Changyuan was suddenly free again. Besides eating, drinking, and playing with Lin Ling, he would occasionally go to the laboratory to check on the progress.

Almost very quickly, within a month or two, they had completely figured out how ordinary people could transform into high-tier zombies, and the possible side effects.

“Does this mean that I can rule the world soon?”

The little zombie sat in the laboratory, watching the occasional cheers and applause from the lab. He turned his head and asked Shi Changyuan in a low voice.

“Of course.”

Ever since he had been transformed into a zombie, Shi Changyuan had been trying to figure out what kind of suppressive effect Lin Ling, as the Zombie Emperor, had on ordinary zombies, because he himself didn’t feel anything.

It wasn’t until not long ago, when Song Jing returned to the research institute to visit Auntie Man, that he did some small tests.

First was the most basic. From instinct and genes, they could not harm their emperor and would obey his commands.

But these “suppressions” seemed to be subtle. If you didn’t deliberately test them, you wouldn’t notice them at all. It would just make you feel very fond of Lin Ling, feel very close to him, and want to fulfill his little wishes.

But if the other person’s personal will was too strong and wanted to disobey the Zombie Emperor’s command, it was also possible.

“Lingling, you try to be equally firm in your request.”

Shi Changyuan was “giving advice” on the side, wanting to test the limits of the Zombie Emperor’s bloodline suppression.

“Firm?”

The little zombie looked at the military member who was testing with him, scratched his head, and, mimicking the other’s appearance, widened his eyes, clenched his fists, raised his voice, and even learned to use imperative sentences.

“How about it? Is that firm enough?”

After Lin Ling had given the command, he turned his head to look at Shi Changyuan, trying to get his and Song Jing’s opinion.

The two of them, who didn’t know what to say: …

This.

Forget it, it’s not a bad thing.

Lin Ling is really the most suitable to be this Zombie Emperor.

Originally, with the existence of the highest bloodline of the Zombie Emperor, the people at the top were very worried that if the other party had ill intentions, or had too much personal selfishness, the so-called “new humans” would become a knife in his hand for evil deeds.

But now it seemed that even if it were a knife for evil deeds, it could only be used to peel apples.

Maybe he would even be asked to carve a rabbit.

**

The first to accept the “new world” plan was the fifth base. It took half a year, and 80% of the ordinary humans in the entire base chose to transform into high-tier zombies.

Not only that, but now, when they encountered other ordinary zombies outside, they would wash them clean, tie them up, feed them evolution potions, and concentrate them together to catalyze them for three to five days, forcefully restoring their consciousness.

Then they would let them join the base and become another part of the base’s labor force.

Occasionally, they would encounter primitive humans from other bases who were out of the loop. When they met the high-tier zombies on a field mission, they would first scream and fight randomly, then flee in a hurry.

To this, the new humans of the fifth base could only curse at the car’s exhaust, calling them uncultured country bumpkins from other bases, and demand that they quickly open their bases and see the new world.

At first, some high-level officials from other human bases were not willing to be transformed, but they were dumbfounded when they saw the fifth base recovering its civilization and expanding and building new cities at an unprecedented speed.

The gap between several bases established at the same time was widening at a visible rate.

Then, several other human bases on the same continent also joined in, and a new situation was really formed on this continent.

Led by the Zombie Emperor and his partner, in this new world where all species were evolving, the completely evolved new humans once again returned to the top of the food chain.

And this couple, who had made a major contribution to the evolution of the new humans and were also leading everyone to rule the world, were successfully recorded in the annals of history.

But the monarch of this new human race and his partner, especially Professor Shi Changyuan, who had developed the transformation potion, had a rather strange hobby.

When purchasing and receiving the transformation potion, you had to offer them a blessing to be eligible to purchase it.

So every day in the research institute’s hall, you could see a group of people, changing their ways to give blessings. There were even some who, in order to cut in line, teamed up with several earth-type ability users and built a huge double statue in the central square of the fifth base.

But creating figures was still too difficult for earth-type ability users. Several people worked on it for several days, but they really couldn’t restore one-tenth of the two’s beauty. They would smash it and build it, and build it and smash it every day.

Everyone thought that this was the end of it, but in the end, someone had a flash of inspiration and came up with a new idea. They wouldn’t build a figure model anymore, but would directly build a large marriage certificate stone sculpture in the square.

This marriage certificate had everything except for the photos. The blessings were densely carved on it as if they were free.

And the person who came up with this idea really did get a free bottle of transformation potion the next day.

“Why don’t we just have them take down that sculpture?”

The little zombie stood by his bedroom window and could see the tall, book-shaped statue at a glance.

“What’s wrong?”

…It’s a bit embarrassing.

Lin Ling opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, then wanted to speak again, but in the end, he was very considerate and didn’t say what was on his mind.

This would probably be a bit cruel to Shi Changyuan.

“Nothing.”

The little zombie shook his head. “It’s just that it takes up a bit of space.”

“It doesn’t.”

Shi Changyuan’s lips hadn’t come down recently.

He ruffled Lin Ling’s head. “The walls of the fifth base have already been demolished, and the area of the base is expanding outwards. It’s just a statue.”

“How about we have them move it to the research institute’s yard?”

The moment he said this, the little zombie immediately shook his head and waved his hands, repeatedly refusing. “No, no, no.”

“It’s not good to block other people’s way.”

“Let’s just leave it there.”

Lin Ling took one last look at the statue, then quickly closed the window, as if he were trying to keep it out of sight.

It was better to have it far away than right under his nose.

Song Jing also seemed to have not expected Shi Changyuan to be so crazy, to have done everything he had said before, and even more.

On his way to the research institute, he had already heard the people in line reciting many completely different blessings. There were even some who had written stories and drawn portraits for this, of all kinds.

“With such a big show, how are the wedding preparations going?”

The moment Song Jing entered, he asked.

“If it’s too perfunctory, I won’t let you off.”
