Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

”Next, we have Mrs.Leyan... I don’t have to explain that. Her mature body tells it all... I would never let her go if I was boss.”

All the majors nodded in agreement as they thought back to when they saw Mrs.Leyan helping the injured as a nurse.

”Not to mention she’s already experienced and willing to share the same husband as her daughters... She’s the perfect main wife material, in my opinion.”

All the majors nodded in agreement again.

”And lastly, Mrs.Nami...” The fifth major awkwardly scratched his head as he couldn’t think of a reason.

”Is she an adult?” The third major curiously asked.

”I think so... my friend working at the administrative building told me that Mrs.Nami’s ID shows only one year younger than Boss.” The second major chimed back in.

”Maybe the boss just has a unique taste. I mean, Mrs.Nami is pretty cute...” The fifth major quickly brushed through it as all the major looked at him suspiciously.

”Ahem, you guys should stop talking about this.” Lingang decided to end the conversation.

”Come on, Lingang, we are sharing our opinion. It’s not like we are going to do something about it.” The major next to Lingang patted him on the shoulder.

”We still shouldn’t talk about this.” Lingang insisted.

”Fine.” The majors stopped talking about Xiaoyun’s family.

”Have you guys seen Wuli? She didn’t even show up for the morning meeting yesterday.” One of the majors who had been silent the whole time spoke up.

”I think she’s assigned to stay behind to serve as a reserve.” The first major replied.

”Is it just me, or are Wuli and Boss really close? They are always in the same car and everything on almost all missions.” The second major commented.

”I heard some rumor, okay? Just pure rumors.” The third major looked around to make sure no one was nearby.

”Boss just married Wuli and her friend Shuli together before——”

”Okay, enough. Everyone, go back to your post.” Lingang interrupted, pushing all the majors to return to their assigned posts.

The next day...

”Everyone is packed up?” Xiaoyun asked the nine majors.

”Yes, sir.” All of them responded.

”Then let’s get going... Also, the one hundred captives had already been sent back to the temporary town.” Xiaoyun added.

As Xiaoyun got inside the car, he took out the map.

”The south and east side is now done... Just North and west now.” Xiaoyun mumbled as he crossed out the east side.

It had just hit noon when Xiaoyun’s army arrived at the next town.

After sending out the regiment and repeating the same thing, they could return with five thousand people as captives this time.

”It’s only the afternoon... Lingang, can you direct the rest of the soldiers to continue the mission? I’ll bring these captives back to the town.” Xiaoyun mentioned.

”Yes, sir.” Lingang accepted the challenge.

The two went separate ways as Lingang brought the whole army with him, and Xiaoyun returned to Han Bang with one regiment to transport all the captives.

When Xiaoyun arrived back in the town, Han Bang welcomed him with a big hug.

”Is everything going fine in the town?” Xiaoyun curiously asked.

”Everything is running smoothly... but when are we going back?” Han Bang asked.

”Tomorrow... Anyway, I need to return with the rest of the army. Han Bang, you are doing a great job.”

After dropping off all of the captives, Xiaoyun returned to his car along with his regiment and drove off.

”One more day...” Han Bang mumbled as he walked back to work again.

After returning to unite with the rest of his army, the entire regiment had just gone to their assigned bases.

”How’s the situation going?” Xiaoyun asked.

”It’s going good. All the regiments are in position and are clearing all the remaining factions.” Lingang replied.

”That’s good to hear. After this, we can all return home.” Xiaoyun announced.

All of the radio operators and soldiers let out a sigh of relief.

”I wouldn’t celebrate too early. After this, we still need to transport all the captives.” Xiaoyun reminded them.

”Lingang, where’s your regiment?” Xiaoyun curiously asked as he wasn’t leading it, and it wasn’t outside either when he walked in.

”I let the 2nd in command to lead it,” Lingang replied.

”I see...”

After an hour, the regiment finally finished and returned empty-handed.

”A lot of heavy fighting today, but it’s all worth it. We are finally done with all four sides of the city, and rest sleep soundly knowing there is no other faction near us.” Xiaoyun yelled out loud for the soldier in the back to hear.

”It’s time to go back, everyone!”

All the soldiers got inside their vehicles as the convoy returned to the road.

Just as the sun was about to set, the army made it back onto the first town.

”Welcome back.” Han Bang welcomes Xiaoyun again.

”Everything going fine?”

”Yep, nothing changed.”

As the majors followed the two inside the house, Xiaoyun pulled the map onto the wall.

”All four areas near the city’s entrance are cleared now. Tomorrow, we’ll be returning home for a short two-day break. Then, we’ll attempt to clear the city block by block.”

As he crossed out all the area cleared on the map, Xiaoyun turned to the crowd.

”Does anyone have a question or a problem with that schedule?” Xiaoyun asked.

”Commander, I thought we were not clearing the city to let the military be distracted, no?” Lingang curiously asked.

”That was the original plan, but I decided to change it. We’re better off trying to clear as many zombies as possible rather than using the zombies to stall off the military...

Besides, we’re only clearing our side of the city. They’ll also be preoccupied with zombie attacks from beyond the city, considering their military base is in the middle of the crossroad.” Xiaoyun stated.

Lingang nodded in agreement with Xiaoyun’s statement as Xiaoyun looked over the majors.

”Any more questions?”

With no response from the majors, Xiaoyun took it as a no.

”Now let’s start drafting the attack map to the city...”

The next day...

Xiaoyun woke up early as he started to get used to sleeping on the rough bed.

After brushing his teeth and creating a small breakfast for the morning, Xiaoyun left the house and started walking outside.

The outside was relatively hot, and the sun was about to rise on the horizon.

”Finally, we are going back home...” Xiaoyun mumbled as he sat down and watched the sun in the distance.

Suddenly a shadow appeared behind him, and before Xiaoyun could react, he could feel something cold poking his head.

”Not so fast, Mr.Xiaoyun. I wouldn’t move if I were you.” A voice coming from behind threatened.

”What do you want?” Xiaoyun asked as he raised his hand into the air.

”I want you to stay in your town and never step foot in the city again... Do you understand?”

”Yes, I understand... but why do you want me not to fight the zombies? You are a human, right? Who’s directed you to here?” Xiaoyun curiously asked.

”Teacher’s plan is none of your business. Are you going to accept it or not?” The voice started to sound annoyed as Xiaoyun kept stalling the question.

”Like, why me? I’m sure the military is fighting the zombies as well. Why not make them not attack the zombies first?” Xiaoyun asked again.

”So you are rejecting our offer?” The voice asked in an irritating voice.

Xiaoyun could hear a small click as if the person behind him was about to pull the trigger.

”No, no, I accept your offer. I’ll never step foot in the city again. By the way, you want to see a magic trick?”

”Hm?” The person looked toward Xiaoyun’s hand for a split second.

Before the person behind Xiaoyun could react, Xiaoyun created a gun out of nowhere and pulled the trigger.

With a loud bang sound, the person stared at him in shock as he fell onto the ground.

”Ugh, blood is all over me now... Can’t even take a shower in time.” Xiaoyun complained as he wiped all the blood that got onto his face.

”Let’s see where you are coming from.”

As Xiaoyun undressed the person in the full black suit, he noticed a small pin on the jacket.

”A ruler and a compass... what does the G in the middle mean? Some sort of secret society?”

As Xiaoyun stood back up to examine the pin more, suddenly, a sharp pain pierced his neck.

In the distance building...

”Mission success, sir. Target is eliminated, but Nine is also dead.” A man with a sniper rifle reported on his phone.

”How did he die?” An old man’s voice came out of the phone.

”The target had a gun and somehow shot back. I couldn’t see in detail while setting up my shot.”

”Whatever, you can report back to duty now.”

As the phone call hung up, the man started packing his sniper rifle inside a guitar case.
