Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Mingxu and Ningjing
"Let's go to the training field to wait for them." Xiaoyun suggested.
"Okay, let's go."
After arriving at the training field and waited for ten minute, the soldiers and the civilians finally arrived safely onto the training field.
The soldiers started to get off their vehicle, as well as the civilians.
Xiaoyun took out a megaphone out after everyone had gotten out of their vehicle.
"Everyone that is not military unit, please line up in a signal file line in front of the temporary booth at the building on your right.
Platoon Three, Five, and Six, you can go to the cafeteria for dinner, and Yezi will be there to distribute the overtime pay."
As the civilian line up at the booth and the soldiers left with Yezi to the cafeteria, Xiaoyun noticed two people walking toward him.
"Hey!" The man waved at Xiaoyun as they walked closer and closer.
Before the man got close to Xiaoyun, the militia maintaining the training field stopped the two.
"You are... Mingxu! Let them pass, they are my friend." Xiaoyun signaled the militia to move to the side.
"Man, long time no see! You even got bodyguard now." Mingxu commented as the two hugged each.
"Nah I don't have body guard, they are just militia maintaining order. Is everything all right?" Xiaoyun noticed Mingxu's face full of dirt.
"Yeah it's all right. Without you, we would of died in that damn apartment. I knew those air-raid shelter won't let us go so easily." Mingxu's tone got more and more angry.
"Air-raid shelter?" Xiaoyun looked a little confused.
"Yeah, you know me and Ningjing has been staying in the air-raid shelter until few months ago. We got fed up with how they were treating us so we left with other groups who's also fed up with them."
Mingxu got even more angry as he started to think back to the past.
"You wouldn't believe how they treated us. We were literally slaves to them, being forced to work nonstop and going outside to gather resources.
Meanwhile all they do is sit there and abuse their power by forcing desperate women to fulfill their sick fantasy.
They say it's voluntary but we all know that they are restricting resources on purpose to make wives leave their husband one by one.
You wouldn't believe what happen to some of the women after they return back from those officials. It's sickening to the stomach just thinking about it.
Some even never returned back from the trip..." Mingxu looked a little down as he paused for a second.
"Those damn soldiers should of overthrow the leeches long time ago, but they are just bunch of stubborn idiot who still think the government is going to come back."
"Damn that's rough... well I'm glad you made it here now. What you are describing won't happen here." Xiaoyun reassured Mingxu.
"I believe y—— *cough cough* you." Mingxu suddenly started coughing.
"Mingxu you okay?" Ningjing suddenly looked extremely worried for Mingxu.
"I'm fine, you know it's just some old issues." Mingxu dismissed of it.
"Old issues? I never seen you cough before." Xiaoyun thought back to the time he's in dorm with Mingxu.
"Don't worry about it brother, I'm really fine." Mingxu reassured Xiaoyun.
"Xiaoyun please, do you have a doctor nearby? Ningjing ignored Mingxu's wishes.
"Of course, we got a hospital. Let me call someone to make sure nothing goes wrong here.
Xiaoyun pulled out his phone to call Yuqi.
"Darling, I'm going to leave for a second, are you fine handling this yourself?"
"Yeah I can handle it, can you call mom that I'm coming home later today? There's just too many people to deal with." Yuqi replied back.
"Okay." Xiaoyun hung up the phone and looked back to Mingxu and Ningjing.
"Darling? Xiaoyun you got a girlfriend already?" Mingxu looked a little surprised by the news.
"Um... it's a long story. Anyway let's go to the hospital now." Xiaoyun changed the topic as he started walking toward the exit.
"Must be a lucky women to be with the mayor of this town." Ningjing commented as she looked over to Mingxu.
"Hey, I never expected Xiaoyun to be the one that make it out this big... Man this is the best base I had seen." Mingxu commented.
"How's the other base look like?" Xiaoyun got curious.
"Most of them are just bases inside an apartment building or at a mall. All of them is not as big or advance as yours... Although I heard there's a massive human base up north."
"Up north?" Xiaoyun got even more curious.
"Yeah up north in Hunan, we were planning to drive all the way there if it wasn't for those damn bastard." Mingxu got angry again.
"What did they do exactly?" Xiaoyun felt curious again as Mingxu had mention it multiple time but didn't explain it.
"They lured the zombies to the apartment building we were staying in because they didn't want people looting their share of the food. Even though we were just about to leave the city outskirt.
Like how insane is that? Doing that to a fellow human being. Those people are not human, just bunch of animals." Mingxu finally explained what happened.
"What the fuck is wrong with them... They truly are sick in the head." Xiaoyun commented as three walked on the street.
"Xiaoyun, how's Yueyue and your new family?" Ningjing suddenly chimed in the conversation between Mingxu and Xiaoyun.
"Um they are doing fine... yeah they are doing great..." Xiaoyun started looking up in the sky to ease the embarrassment he's feeling right now.

After finish visiting the hospital and the doctor prescribing some medicine, the three stood outside the hospital.
"Oh shit, I completely forgot to get you guys a housing ticket... Let me call Yuqi right now." Xiaoyun pulled out his phone to call Yuqi again.
"Hey darli——Yuqi can you reserve a housing ticket? I need it for Mingxu and Ningjing... What? What do you mean they are all used? Oh okay. It's fine.
Yeah. Okay see you later." Xiaoyun hung up the phone.
"Um, there's no more housing tickets... do you guys want to stay over at my house? I got a lot of empty room." Xiaoyun suggested.
Before Mingxu could response, Ningjing spoke up.
"Sure! I haven't seen Yueyue for so long! And Sister Yuqi and Nami! " Ningjing excitingly jumped into the air.
"I own you for this." Mingxu thanks Xiaoyun for his generosity.
"Don't worry about it." Xiaoyun patted Mingxu on the shoulder.
After walking for ten minute...
"Welcome back!" Leyan opened the door for Xiaoyun as she jumped into Xiaoyun's arm.
"Oh um hello Ningjing! Long time no see!" As Leyan separated from Xiaoyun, she noticed Ningjing and Mingxu standing behind him.
"Hello Miss Leyan!" The two hugged each other as if they had been friend for a long time.
"Leyan, don't just block the doorway." Xiaoyun reminded her.
"Oh sorry." Leyan let go of Ningjing as the three walked inside the house.
"Wow, this house is bigger than looking from the outside..." Mingxu mumbled as he sat down on the sofa.
"Almost forgot to tell you, Yuqi is coming home later... Hm where's everyone?" Xiaoyun noticed almost everyone was gone in the house.
"Yueyue said she's still sorting out some documents and interviewing people to be recruit. Nami, Shuli and Wuli just left to go help Yuqi." Leyan explained.
"Oh my god, who does this three baby belong to? They look so cute!" Ningjing bowed down to pat the three babies.
"Leyan do you want me to say it?" Xiaoyun looked over to Leyan.
"There's no avoiding it if they are living here... It's a open secret anyway." Leyan looked down to the floor in embarrassment.
"They are two girls are Yuqi and Yueyue's babies. And the boy is Leyan's baby." Xiaoyun couldn't finish the rest as the embarrassment of announcing this kind of stuff to his old friends was too overwhelming.
"Oh really? They all are already married? Even Miss——I mean Mrs. Leyan is married? What do their husband look like?" Ningjing curiously asked.
Mingxu and Ningjing both noticed the Xiaoyun and Leyan both awkwardly stood still.
"Sorry for asking. We sincerely apologized for asking this." Mingxu and Ningjing both stood back up and bowed apologetically as they realized the three babies must had been born out of wedlock.
"No it's not what you are thinking of... I..." Xiaoyun hesitated again for a second, but finally spilled the tea.
"They are all mines." Xiaoyun quietly replied back.
Ningjing and Mingxu both froze for a second, then fell into complete shock.
"What! You joking right? I thought Yueyue said you are her brother." Mingxu spoke up first.
"Yeah, this has to be some sort of April fool joke right?" Ningjing questioned.
