Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

Yezi yelled out through a megaphone as he walked towards the training field stage, which was full of tired soldiers and survivors standing below the stage.

All the soldiers immediately rushed to the locker room, dropping off their weapons and gear before going back home.

With the soldiers leaving came a bunch of civilians with firearms, all with a red and white armband around their arms.

"You okay? You can rest if you want. I'll take care of the people here——"

"No, I'm good. I'm not that sleepy... Hey Yezi, where do you get these people?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.

"These are just temporary militias. You know, it's a good thing we never ended the mandatory training for all citizens.

Anyway, have you thought of where to put all these people? They can't just stay in this training field forever."

As the militia directed the survivors to line up in a single file, several trucks and cars pulled up to the front entrance.

"Um, I kind of forgot about that... Has Yuqi come up with an idea yet?"

Xiaoyun awkwardly scratches his head, as he hasn't thought of a single solution the whole time he has been sitting in the car.

"Well, she did make a temporary solution for them to stay in the training field——Oh look, there's Yuqi."

As Yuqi stepped out of the car, hundreds of office workers were setting up street stalls, with some of the militias helping the truck driver unload the goods next to the stalls.

"Let's go check it out."

As the two walked toward one of the stalls, they could see some of the survivors' faces were full of uncertainty and fear.

However, some were looking a lot more hopeful as they could see all the food and water inside the boxes of goods.

Before the two could approach Yuqi's stall, Yezi suddenly pushed Xiaoyun forward and disappeared into the crowd.

"Hey Yezi, what was that for——"

"You really give me a headache, you know that Xiaoyun?"

Yuqi's face was full of anger as she finally saw Xiaoyun right before her eyes, her hand still busy helping a survivor register their name and identity.

"Sorry. It was an emergency, and I couldn't——"

Before Xiaoyun could apologize, Yuqi interrupted him.

"I forgive you this time... But can you give us a heads-up next time? It's really hard to tell people that they have to go back to work when they are on a break.

If it weren't for Yueyue calling me about what Yezi told her, I wouldn't even be prepared at all."

"Well, I didn't expect this many people and the entirety of Qingyuan would fall like this... At least Yezi gave you a warning."

Xiaoyun shyly looked to the top right of the stall, embarrassed as he realized he should have at least left a note of some sort.

"A warning that just told me you left for Qingyuan. Really helpful, Mr.Genius..." Yuqi replied grumpily as she helped the next person in line to register.

"Okay, my bad. I'll try to avoid it next time... Man, I'm so tired *Yawn* Call me if you need anything. I'm going back home to sleep."

Just as Xiaoyun turned around, getting ready to leave, Yuqi's voice suddenly called him out again.

"Wait! I almost forgot. Mom said she had a little surprise for you."

"Huh... Really? What kind of surprise is it?" Xiaoyun asked as he turned around towards Yuqi, confused.

Yuqi's face blushed red as she thought back to what Leyan asked her and Yueyue to do in the morning.

"Um, you'll see it when you get back home... Go home now."

Yuqi waved Xiaoyun to leave, not wanting to explain anything further as she shifted her full attention to the survivor in lines.

When Xiaoyun and Tianci arrived back home and opened the front door, all of the girls were sitting on the sofa.

"Where's Yueyue?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as Leyan helped put Xiaoyun's backpack on the hanger.

"She called Yuqi to meet her at her office. I think those two went to the training field afterward to see you. You didn't see her at all?"

"Nope, I only saw Yuqi working at the stalls——"

"I saw Yueyue in the crowd earlier." Tianci pointed out as she stood behind Xiaoyun.

"Oh, okay... She probably has her own mission, then... *Yawn* Sorry, I really need some sleep."

Xiaoyun yawned loudly as he couldn't help but stretch his arm into the air.

"Wait, let me help you take a shower first. Your clothes have such a strong blood smell right now."

Leyan quickly followed Xiaoyun up the stairs as the rest of the girls watched the two heading up.

"Geez, Xiaoyun must have had a really rough trip. His entire jacket was full of blood stains..." Nami commented.

"Tianci, where did you two go? Why are Xiaoyun's clothes all full of blood? Why did you two leave without saying anything?"

As Wuli threw her question, everyone's attention immediately turned towards Tianci, as they were all intrigued by it.

"Um, we went to Qingyuan after one of the soldiers from there reported what happened there..."

Tianci began explaining what they went through and everything the two had witnessed last night, from arriving in Qingyuan all the way to getting back home.

After hearing the whole story, all of them were in shock.

"What? I understand Zhen Ti's army collapsing fast. But how could Zhen Ren's army fall just as easily?

There has to be someone behind this attack. There are just too many coincidences for all of them to happen at once."

Wuli couldn't believe that the comrade she had worked with for months would lose that hard to the point that they needed rescue from another group.

"I don't know the exact situation... But Xiaoyun did say that they suspect that the metro entrance explosion was human-made, not zombies."

"Could it be the secret society again?" Shuli suggested.

"Always that damn secret society... Do we even know what their name is?" Wuli asked, thinking back to all the rumors she had heard while in the military.

"Nope. At least when I checked the database in both Yueyue's and Renqin's offices, there is still not a single clue where they are aside from that they existed before the outbreak."

Kate explained, looking just as annoyed as Wuli by the lack of information on the secret society.

"That is certainly a powerful secret society if they can somehow blow up the wall behind it that was full of zombies," Nami pointed out.

"Yeah..."

The living room fell into silence as the atmosphere intensified until Lily and Anna emerged out of their rooms.

"Why do you guys all look so tense?" Lily curiously asked as she sat down on the sofa.

"Nothing... Anna, did Lily learn German yet?" Nami asked as she shifted the topic away from them.

"Just a little. She did good, though. She just needs a little more practice, and she can communicate with basic words." Anna explained as she sat down next to Kate.

"Let's watch an anime. I haven't watched it for so long."

"Fine, fine. You can watch whatever you want."

Hearing Nami's answer, Lily immediately celebrated as she turned on Nami's laptop on the coffee table and picked an anime to display on the TV.

Meanwhile, in the bathroom...

"Let me wash your hair. Just close your eyes and relax in the bathtub, okay?"

Leyan was sitting on the edge of the bathtub next to Xiaoyun, who was fully naked with his body submerged in the warm water.

"Don't open your eyes, okay? I don't want the shampoo to burn it on accident."

As Leyan applied the hair shampoo to Xiaoyun's hair, he couldn't help but open his eyes and look.

Leyan only had a towel wrapped around her, with nothing underneath it, as the two had already seen each other's bodies when stepping inside the bathroom.

"Stop looking at me like that... It's not like you haven't seen it before."

Leyan shyly pulled her towel up a little as Xiaoyun kept staring at her cleavage nonstop.

"I can never get enough of it... Babe, why do you bother covering it if we have seen it so many times before?"

Leyan's face blushed again as she realized what Xiaoyun said was valid, but her brain and her heart kept feeling a little embarrassed for some reason.

"Fine... I'll take it off if you want to see it that badly."

Slowly, Leyan's breast was fully revealed to Xiaoyun as the towel fell to the ground. But something caught Xiaoyun's attention as he looked down.

"You okay?" Xiaoyun asked in a concerned voice as he noticed the gaping hole below.

"Shut up. I don't want to hear it from you. You know how embarrassing it was for me this morning——"

Leyan shut her mouth as she quickly realized she was revealing a little bit too much info.
