Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

When Xiaoyun woke up again, it was already morning.

”Honey, wake up! You still have work today!” Leyan yelled into Xiaoyun’s ear as she shook his entire body.

”Okay, okay. I’m getting up.”

”You better be ready in five minutes,” Leyan warned.

As the door being slammed close traveled into Xiaoyun’s ear, he finally opened his eyes and looked at the time.

”It’s only Eight... Whatever.”

Xiaoyun yawned as he exited the bed and walked toward the bathroom outside.

”What a crazy night...” Xiaoyun thought to himself as he looked into the mirror.

As he began brushing his teeth, the thoughts of what happened last night kept appearing in his head.

”I need to stop thinking about this...”

After freshening up, Xiaoyun returned to his room to get dressed and walk downstairs to the kitchen.

Everyone was already eating breakfast, with three of them holding their baby in their arms and their breast wide open.

”Morning, babe.” Yuqi waved as she noticed Xiaoyun walking in.

”Morning... Why is everyone up so early?” Xiaoyun curiously asked as he took a seat next to Leyan.

”What do you mean early? It’s already nine.” Yuqi looked confused by Xiaoyun’s question.

”What? I just checked the time earlier, and it says eight... Wait, why does the clock over there say nine...”

Xiaoyun was completely lost until Leyan finally revealed the reason.

”I almost forgot, I need to change the bedroom clock’s battery. It already died when I woke up.” Leyan explained.

”Ah, crap. I can’t be late today.”

Xiaoyun started shoving down his food as fast as possible, with everyone watching him as they had already finished their food.

After the three finished breastfeeding their baby, Yuqi and Yueyue handed their baby to Leyan to care for as they got ready to go to work.

Xiaoyun was just in time as he finally finished eating.

”Okay, let’s go.” Xiaoyun rushed up to catch up with the rest of them waiting in the doorway.

As Nami and Leyan sat at the dining table with three babies in their arms, they walked up to the living room to let the three babies play with each other.

”Are you okay, Nami?” Leyan asked as she noticed Nami walking weirdly.

”I’m fine... Are you fine, Mom?” Nami asked back as she noticed Leyan walking weirdly as well.

”Yeah...”

The two started blushing as they thought back to what happened last night.

”Mom... why did you say we let him do whatever he wanted with us last night?”

Nami’s voice sounded annoyed as she asked Leyan the question.

”I didn’t realize he wanted to do us like that...”

Leyan awkwardly swirled her hair as she had nothing to defend herself with.

The two sat in silence as they watched the three babies play with each other.

”You four need a ride?” Anna asked as she noticed all four of them walking with their legs crossed slightly.

”N-No, w-we can walk to work. It’s the only exercise I have every day.” Yuqi politely rejected it.

”Oh, okay. Well, see you guys later.”

Anna drove off as the car disappeared in the distance.

”Isn’t that our car?” Yueyue pointed out.

”Yeah... I had to give her our car as a requirement for her to help us design guns... Anyway, you four okay?” Xiaoyun asked as he started to notice them walking at an awkward angle.

”I wonder whose fault this is...” Wuli rolled her eyes as she looked towards Xiaoyun.

Xiaoyun finally realized the reason behind it but chose to stay silent.

”I don’t get why you want to use the other entrance...” Yueyue complained.

”And forcing us to wash the inside with the showerhead, too,” Yuqi added on top of the complaint.

Xiaoyun could only awkwardly scratch his head in silence as he could only give to them because he felt like it.

”I still can’t believe we let him do this and even willingly did it to ourselves,” Wuli commented.

Seeing Xiaoyun in a one-sided conversation made Shuli feel bad for him.

”Yuqi and Yueyue... didn’t you two beg him to keep going when he went inside?” Shuli finally spoke up.

”And Wuli, you were the only one who agreed with his idea and even encouraged him.”

The three blushed and looked embarrassed as everything that Shuli was true.

”Shuli, why are you backing Xiaoyun up?” Wuli asked curiously.

”I just feel bad that he is getting unfairly treated like this.”

Seeing Shuli valiantly defending him, Xiaoyun felt a little happiness blooming inside his heart.

”Thank you, Shuli. Finally, someone who understood my struggle.”

As Xiaoyun moved closer for a hug, Shuli moved away from it.

”I’m defending because I feel bad. That doesn’t mean I’m happy with what you’ve done to us... It’s still hurt down there.” Shuli replied coldly.

Just as the Xiaoyun was about to speak up again, the sound of someone clearing their throat suddenly could be heard by all five of them.

They turned around, only to see Kate and Tianci following right behind.

”You guys heard everything?” Yuqi asked nervously.

Tianci and Kate shook their head despite their face blushing from hearing the conversation between them the whole time.

”Um, look, the building is over there... See you, babe!”

Yuqi and Shuli rushed inside the administrative building, leaving three with Tianci and Kate.

”I go s-separate way from here. Later.” Leyan speed walked away in embarrassment.

”Ahem, the weather is pretty nice today, isn’t it?” Xiaoyun asked.

”Yeah, look like it’s going to be extra hot today,”

After Wuli finished talking, the atmosphere got even more awkward as nobody wanted to speak up.

Five minutes later...

”Wow, you are finally on early today,” Yezi commented as the four walked in.

”I’m always early. You’re just seeing things.”

As Xiaoyun replied, Wuli sat down in her seat among her peers, and his two bodyguards stood still at the exit.

”Ahem, since everyone is already here. I’m just going to start it right now.”

After setting everything up, Xiaoyun removed the projector cover to show what he had set up.

”Here’s a map of the city with its four main entrances... Here, here, and here. We’ll station two regiments each.” Xiaoyun pointed at the city’s North, East, and West entrances.

”Some of you remember the old plan of drawing out the zombies, then killing them until there are no more zombies. However, after considering it for a bit, this is slightly readjusted... Okay, maybe not just a small readjustment.”

Xiaoyun switched slides to show a closer-up map down to the streets.

”Here is the East side’s entrance. With the old plan, we would have simply sent a small detachment to draw in as many zombies as possible to a designated area over here.”

Xiaoyun pointed at the highway with his laser pointer.

”This is where we’ll start killing them until we either run out of bullets or the zombies die... Either way, we’ll retreat into our vehicle and return to base.”

Xiaoyun paused as he looked at everyone sitting down.

”Does anyone find any issue with this?” Xiaoyun suddenly asked.

All the majors looked at each other in confusion as they couldn’t really find a flaw until Han Bang raised his hand.

”If we were to go with this plan for all four entrances, it would take at least several years to clear all the zombies.” Han Bang responded.

”Exactly. It’s far too long. We simply do not have the resources to maintain a ten-year war. Not to mention the fuel it will take for us to drive like this constantly.”

Xiaoyun switched to the next slide, showing several pictures of a bird-eye view of an old map.

”This is where my new plan tries to resolve... Instead of using hit-and-run into an open field on the highway, we’ll do the opposite and choose to stay in all these tight streets in the outskirts.

We’ll force the zombies into smaller pockets in several of these buildings. And at the center, we’ll end at the office building in the middle.”

Before Xiaoyun could finish explaining, Lingang instantly raised his hand.

”Commander Xiaoyun, wouldn’t this be suicide? Our firepower is nowhere near the amount of zombies in the city. Even if it is small waves at a time.” Lingang replied.

”Yes, exactly. We definitely do not have enough firepower, even if we include the recently built artillery. But there is a reason why I call this readjust rather than a new plan...”

Xiaoyun switched to another slide to focus on a few specific buildings.

”As soon as the regiments defending the building run out of bullets, we send in four regiments to distract all the zombies in all four directions. It still encompasses our original plan of using cars to distract them.

Aftere distracting all the zombies away, the soldiers inside the building can use this chance to leave and regroup with the others.”

As Xiaoyun answered Lingang’s question, he raised his hand again to ask another.

”What if the zombies chose to stay despite the regiments trying to lure them away?”

”Then all four regiments would just fire on the zombies... If there are too many zombies, I have also set up a backup plan.”
