Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

"Unfortunately, they got wiped out by a zombie horde," Renqin replied.

"Oh. Okay... Well then, everyone had now heard reports about the current condition of our city and the outside world."

Xiaoyun got up and removed the projector controller from his pocket.

'You might be wondering why I made everyone come here today and listen to all this information that might not even be useful to you."

As Xiaoyun walked toward the whiteboard, he pulled down the newly installed overhead projector sheet.

"I want everyone to be prepared for our next goal. It requires everyone to be able to work together to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible... Most of you probably already know about the war we were supposed to wage against the zombies.

And how it got put on a pause out of nowhere... Well, I'm going to tell you guys that I was assassinated."

Most of the people at the table didn't look surprised, as Xiaoyun had already told the civilian branch yesterday, but all the Majors were surprised except Lingang and Han Bang, who knew what happened that morning.

"But as you can see, I lived... But you know what the assassin told me before they died? They want us to never go inside Guangzhou and just sit in our city."

Xiaoyun turned on the projector, and it immediately showed two words in a big, bold letter.

The word 'War Plan' was right in the center as Xiaoyun looked at everyone's face for their reaction.

Most of the Majors looked extremely happy, especially Lingang, who looked ecstatic when he saw the two words from the projector.

Interestingly enough, Han Bang had a frown similar to that of all the head departments on the civilian side.

"I'm going to reiterate it. If we do not clear all the zombies in Guangzhou, they will knock on our door one day. If anyone disagrees and wants to promote ideas of expanding inward, I will allow you to step down right now, and you won't be in trouble."

Not a single person spoke up as Xiaoyun expected.

"Very well. Then, I'll assume everyone here views the zombies as our enemies. Now I'm going to go over what everyone needed to do..."

Thirty minutes later...

"So that's all I needed from you guys. Just try to integrate the newcomers into the town. Money and resources are not a problem. Remember, if you face an issue, ask Yuqi about it. She will be allocated all the resources during this wartime.

Also, there will be a new recruitment campaign from twenty thousand to thirty thousand. The new ten thousand soldiers will not participate in the upcoming war and will serve purely as a defensive and logistic force...

However, I doubt many people are willing to join, so it's just a capped number in case more people are willing to join than I expected.

Also, I want to remind everyone that there is no mandatory draft. It's always going to be a volunteer force only... Unless the enemy is right at our walls."

Xiaoyun added the last part as a reminder to everyone.

"And for the majors... I'll show you the war plan tomorrow. Make sure you sleep well and get all your fellow soldiers ready by Thursday."

"Everyone, you are dismissed."

Xiaoyun turned off the projector and pulled the sheet back up as everyone left the meeting room.

"Xiaoyun, you want me to help you with the plan?" Yezi asked before leaving the room.

"Nah, I can do it myself," Xiaoyun replied as he turned around to answer him.

"Okay, see you tomorrow then."

As most people left the room to return to work, Yueyue stood at the doorway.

"What's wrong?" Xiaoyun curiously asked Yueyue as he packed everything into his backpack.

"You didn't give me any assignment."

"Oh. Just keep up with what you are doing. I don't have anything else to say about it. You are doing a great job with rooting out the corruption."

"Okay, I'll get going then."

With Yueyue leaving the room, the only person left was Xiaoyun.

"Ugh... why did I say no to Yezi?... Whatever the plan is going to be similar anyway."

Xiaoyun grabbed his backpack and left the room.

"How's the meeting?" Tianci curiously asked as she had been standing guard outside the whole time.

"Pretty well, I would say. Everything went just as planned." Xiaoyun replied as they walked out of the administrative building.

"That's good to hear... where are we going now?"

"To the command center... I still have to rewrite the old war plan." Xiaoyun yawned as he stretched out his arms into the air.

Meanwhile, back at home...

"Kate, are you asleep?" Anna asked softly as she knocked on the door.

"No, I just finished taking a nap."

Kate opened the door for Anna as the two sat on her bed.

"What's wrong?" Kate asked.

"I... I think we should move back home." Anna replied in German.

"Why? You don't like it here?" Kate asked back in German.

"No. Mrs.Leyan's cooking is amazing. And they are very nice too... But I think I'm going insane if I stay here another night."

"What are you talking about?" Kate asked in confusion.

"You know what I'm talking about... You know what happened last night." Anna reminded her.

"Oh, that... I mean, they are married. It's only normal for them to have sex." Kate replied with a straight face.

"But they did it from Nine to Three! Six hours nonstop! How are they even managing to do that? I can't sleep at all hearing them moaning so loud." Anna complained.

"What do you want me to do? Go ask them not to have sex?" Kate shrugs her shoulder.

"No... That's why I'm asking you if you want to leave with me. I think I'm going back to home."

As Anna finished talking, she noticed Kate seemed to be very nervous about something.

"Um, Anna... I had some bad news." Kate hesitantly replied.

"What?"

"I already returned the house since I didn't want to waste money."

"You what! No, no, no. I-I can just get another one. Yeah, I'll just go to the booth right now." Anna replied as she got up from the bed.

"All of them is already taken... There's a shortage right now." Kate held Anna back down.

"Fuck, then what am I supposed to do? I can't use heavy machinery when I can barely get any sleep at night."

Kate started to feel bad as Anna looked defeated. But then something popped into her mind.

"How about you try this? It helped me fall asleep when I got fed up with the noise."

Kate whispered something into Anna's ear, and her face immediately started blushing.

"No way. That would never work. I——"

"Come on, it's going to work. At least it worked for me. I could fall asleep right after midnight. You slept at four, didn't you?"

Anna nodded.

"Trust me. Just try it tonight." Kate stared towards Anna's face with confidence in her eyes.

Seeing no other option left, Anna agreed to Kate's suggestion.

"Fine... But if it doesn't work, you are going to ask Xiaoyun to find me a new place."

"Sure, I'll do that if it doesn't work. You better not lie, though... I really don't want to ask him for a favor."

"Of course, I won't. I have a soul, unlike a certain redhead," Anna grinned.

"At least I have a brain, unlike some blonde," Kate fired back.

"Hmph! You're going to regret saying that."

Anna jumped Kate as she began tickling her sides, forcing Kate to put up her hand in defeat.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry." Kate apologized.

Anna finally let Kate go, and the two sat back on the bed.

"Well, I'm going to work now. See ya." Anna left the room.

With Kate being alone in the room, she decided to call Tianci.

"Hey, Tianci. Where are you guys?" Kate asked.

"We're at the command center right now. He's just writing his war plan right now." Tinaci replied.

"Okay, I'm going over right now."

Kate hung up the phone and started taking off her pajamas.

"Ugh, this always gets in the way... I should have made it smaller when I got the chance. So damn heavy."

Kate pushed her bra back up a little as it somehow shifted downward.

After fixing her bra, Kate started putting her uniform back on.

"Should I put on makeup? Nah, why would I want to look good when standing next to him all day?"

Kate double-checked she brought everything needed with her, then finally left the room.

"Hey Kate, you going to work?" Leyan asked curiously ask she sat in the living room.

"Yeah, going to Xiaoyun right now," Kate replied.

"Wait, can you bring this with you? It's just his lunch inside."

Leyan handed a bag to Kate before she could say anything, then opened the door for her as she walked out of the house.

"Thank you!" Leyan waved as Kate left the house with the bag.
