Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

"Yeah yeah I\'m getting up." Wuli stretched her arms as she got up from the bed.

After changing to her militia uniform, Wuli left the cabin with an wash basin that had her towel and toothbrush.

After walking for a minute, Wuli arrived at the public bathing house. Unfortunately for her, due to her being late today, there was already was small line outside.

Wuli had to waiting for three minute, then it was finally Wuli\'s turn.

Wuli brushed her teeth and washed her face with a towel. After using the bathroom, she headed back to the cabin.

Shuli was already sitting on the chair waiting for her at the table.

"Good morning Shuli... how do you always wake up so early." Wuli asked as she sat down and started eating the breakfast.

"You ask this question every day. Just get use to it." Shuli started eating her breakfast.

"But I always want to sleep in more." Wuli complained.

"Too bad." Shuli finished her plates as she put it on the counter.

"Ugh I miss living at Yanyan\'s house." Wuli complained again.

"Ironic you the one who asked to move out." Shuli replied back as she started tying her shoes.

"I-I mean we shouldn\'t interrupt their s-sex life like that. I can hear Xiaoyun begging them to let him in but they didn\'t because of us." Wuli argued back.

"Well then too bad. I\'m going to work now. Don\'t forget to lock the door." Shuli left the cabin as she walked toward the school.

"I have to earn more money to move us out of here!" Wuli looked determined as she finished her breakfast and puts the plate on the counter.

"But how?" Wuli locked the door as she left cabin.

As she walked to the training field, she kept thinking how she can earn more money.

"Wuli you good?" One of the militia asked as Wuli looked lost deep inside her mind.

"Yeah I\'m good. I\'m just thinking how I can earn more money." Wuli accidentally spoke her mind.

"Oh you worried about that? I mean if I were you, I would just marry a rich man. Look at your body, its just so handsome even I am falling for you even though I\'m a women. I\'m sure there\'s a market for people like you." The female militia walked closer.

"That will never happen. I-I need a more legitimate way." Wuli seriously considered it but then rejected it as all she can think of is Shuli being left alone.

"Well then either construction or office work. Militia is only a part time job you know." The militia member moved back to her position as Yiming was now at the field.

"I know but both jobs are so boring. Its just the exact same thing everyday... I kind of hate this job as well. Its just the exact same thing everyday." Wuli whispered back.

"Good morning everyone. I know usually its Gantian or Jixi as your drill instructor. Well they will be here later. I\'m here to announce that we are recruiting militia member to be full time soldiers. The starting pay is ten food stamp a day, as well as free housing..." Yiming started explained benefits of being a soldier.

"You might be wondering why the wage is suddenly increased for soldier, well there will be now a new requirement for soldiers as they will be required to join Yezi\'s rescue team and go to the city outskirt."

"Anyone who want to join can stay after today\'s training. Gantian, take it over." Yiming left the training field.

"Everyone, run five laps as warmup!" Gantian yelled out.

---

After the training was over, Wuli decided to stay after the training.

Wuli can see others also stayed after the training.

"You guys want to join to be a soldier? I need to warn you, its a full time job and you have a chance to die and never return back. Its not like militia where you just stand on the wall everyday." Gantian warned.

Nobody moved at all.

"We are only recruiting eight people as eight people had died from last mission, You guys sure you still want to stay?" Gantian warned again.

Still nobody moved.

"Very well then. We\'ll be testing your physical ability and gun usage as we had taught you in the militia." Gantian led the twenty people to the training field.

After a intense training and range shooting, Wuli was able to make it as the only female who made passed the test.

"Congrats, you eight are now soldiers. You can go take a break now and report here tomorrow in the morning. I would recommend leaving any last will as there might not see the sun tomorrow." Gantian dismissed everyone.

Wuli walked to the administrative booth to put her will to Shuli in case of death, then collected the thirty food stamps bonus for new soldier.

"Can I ask how can I upgrade from living in the ten food stamp wooden cabin?" Wuli asked.

"To upgrade from cabin to house would cost fifty food stamps upfront, and thirty food stamp per month."

"Meanwhile mansion are only for head of an department or soldiers who wanted to live at 301. But unfortunately they are all full, so none of them is available." The booth paused for a second.

"However the cost for a house for soldiers is only fifteen per month and has no upfront cost." The booth person added.

"I will take that." Wuli handed fifteen food stamp to her.

"Here\'s your key ma\'am." The booth handed her the key to the house.

"Thank you." Wuli took the key and left.

"I\'m finally out of the cabin! No more spending time in this small cabin!" Wuli excitingly jumped in the air as she walked back to the cabin.

After getting back to the cabin, Wuli brings the dishes to the public bathing house and washed the dishes there.

Wuli brought the dishes back to the cabin and waited for Shuli to get back home.

One hours later, as the clock hits three, Shuli was finally back home from work.

"Shuli welcome back!" Wuli excitedly jumped on top of Shuli.

"Okay okay, why are you so excited today?" Shuli looked confused.

"We\'re moving out! I got an house for us!" Wuli announced.

"Wait really? How you got the money? Your militia salary can barely afford rent and food."

"I got a full time job as a soldier, so I got like an bonus and discount for it." Wuli explained.

"Soldier! What! But you might die out there. I-I rather live in this cabin with you." Shuli looked worried.

"Come on, its not that dangerous. We both already lived at the outside world for like almost five months. Its also so exciting outside!" Wuli reassured her a little.

"Fine, if that what like." Shuli still looked a little worried.

"Anyway lets pack up!" The two start packing up everything they own into their suitcase.

After packing everything, the two have one last look inside cabin.

"The queen size bed, the wooden table with two chairs, an countertop and stove with kettle and big thermos bottle. Finally I\'m out of this no running water cabin! I finally can have my own bathroom!" Wuli pulled the suitcase out of the cabin.

"I kind of gotten used to this cabin, and the public bathing house." Shuli seem to already have nostalgia feeling despite only leaving the cabin for two minute.

"You will forget about it in a day." The two finally arrived at their house.

Its still very small from the outside, but it\'s much bigger than the wooden cabin.

"What a coincident we live next to Yanyan\'s house... man I\'m still jealous of that mansion. I want to get my own one day." Wuli mind was filled with determination.

"Yeah sure, you totally going to be a head of a department or be the mayor and be able to live in one of those mansion." Shuli sarcastically replied.

"Just you wait, anyway lets go inside." Wuli put the key inside the house and opened it.

"Wow, this is a lot bigger than the cabin. We finally got a living room and a bedroom! And a restroom! Oh my god its running water!" Wuli ran through all the different room.

"Well this is certainly an upgrade." Shuli commented as she walked to the bed.

"I\'m going to take a shower first!" Wuli went to the restroom.

"I guess I go cook dinner then." Shuli walked toward kitchen that is connected to the living room and started cooking.

As she finished cooking dinner, Wuli was out of the restroom.

"Damn, there still no hot water. But whatever, its better than taking a shower in the public bath house." Wuli walked out of the restroom her pajama and a towel on her wet hair.

"You making it sound like its that bad. It got hot water there and separate shower room for male and female." Shuli argued back.

"Yeah yeah, says the one who always go late at night because they are scared of other women seeing their body." Wuli poked fun of Shuli.

"S-shut up. I\'m going to go take a shower now." Shuli left to the restroom.

After waiting for ten minute, Shuli walked out with towel wrapped around her body.

"I-I forgot to get my cloths." Shuli quickly grab her cloth and ran back to the restroom.

Shuli finally came out in her pajama and sat down on the dining table.

The two started eating.

"Hey Shuli you heard about the New Year celebration in two days?" Wuli asked.

"Yeah, everybody in the town knows about it at this point. The empty field out there has like a full stage with hundreds of tables and chairs." Shuli replied.

"Yanyan gave me a ticket to their table too." Shuli went to her bag to give Wuli one of the ticket.

"Oh how considerate of her. She\'s so nice." Wuli put the ticket inside her bag.

"Yeah..." The two fell into silent as they finished dinner and then walked toward their bedroom.

"This bed is exactly the same as the cabin... I though it going to be at least a little bigger." Wuli looked disappointed at the bed.

"I mean its already a queen size bed. They only intended for two people to sleep on it. You can request for more bed if you have children." Shuli replied.

"Whatever. I\'m going to sleep now." Wuli jumped slept on the left side of the bed.

Shuli got on the right side of the bed and closed the light.

"Hey Wuli... a-are we just close friend?" Shuli suddenly asked.

"Y-yeah. W-why do you suddenly ask that?" Wuli nervously replied back.

"N-nothing. Goodnight." Shuli turned around and went to sleep.
