Without you, I would have never gotten out of there.\" Kate interrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess we can thank each other for saving ourselves... Oh shit——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly pulled Kate into the nearby bush as the area ahead of them was a massive corpse, the size similar to the titan mutant they had once seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, hundreds of thousands of zombies were feasting on it, with one standing on its skull as it turned towards their direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please don't see us.\" The two prayed the same thing in their heads as that particular zombie kept looking at them in the bush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with a loud growling sound, almost all of the zombies dropped their food and started running in their direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two quickly out of the bush, running as fast as possible as the massive horde chased behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they continued to run down the street, Kate suddenly twisted her ankle, falling onto the ground as she groaned in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, Xiaoyun turned back around to carry her on his back, giving her a piggyback ride as he began sprinting for his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How close are they to us?\" Xiaoyun asked as he continued to run forward, showing zero sign of slowing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About ten steps behind us,\" Kate replied as she held onto his chest tightly as if she was afraid of being let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun immediately started running even faster, burning through his stamina as he knew he was never going to beat a zombie in a long-distance race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, Xiaoyun ran into a dead end as he accidentally turned the wrong corner, with all three sides being the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit! Who the hell designed these streets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly created an invisible cloak in hand, covering the two of them as they crawled into a ball by the corner of the alleyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the footsteps from the outside get louder and louder, Xiaoyun doesn't hesitate to turn it on, hoping it is enough to fool the zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two couldn't move a single bit, as the invisible cloak wasn't put on properly, as it usually required being attached to the clothes of the wearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After remaining still for who knows how long, the two made a small little peak by dragging it aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To their surprise, all of the zombie horde was gone. Allowing the two to finally step back out as Xiaoyun handed the invisible cloak over for Kate to wear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Man, this thing really doesn't tear well,\" Xiaoyun murmured as their original invisible cloak was long gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, but being invisible is crazy enough. You can't ask too much from it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the two stepped out of the alleyway, they were back to their usual stealth as they walked down the street with their hands held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They headed straight back to the hotel they had been in earlier, then all the way back to their humble room as they turned their invisible cloak back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy shit... I'm never heading out at night again.\" Xiaoyun murmured as they sat down on the carpet floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was certainly an experience... Xiaoyun! You okay?\" Kate worryingly asked after noticing all the blood on his leg and arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm fine. It's just cut wounds when the mall initially collapsed. Your arms have it, too.\" XIaoyun pointed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate slowly calmed down after realizing that what Xiaoyun said was true. There were only blood stains, not blood, on both of their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um, do you want to take a shower first or me?\" Kate asked as she started to notice how dirty they both looked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can go take a shower first. I'll make your clothes later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Kate headed inside the shower, Xiaoyun quickly created a woman-size cloth this time, similar to what Leyan wore before checking on his phone, which showed it was only noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the signal finally coming to his phone, he noticed several missing calls from Leyan and Zhen Ren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chose to call Leyan first, which went through after twenty different attempts with barely one bar of signals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honey! I miss you! Why haven't you called us?\" Leyan asked, her voice full of worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was busy doing something... Is everything going fine back home?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, everything is going smoothly... But we all missed you. Even the babies had been complaining again, asking where dad is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll be back by the end of the mouth... No more than March 2nd.\" Xiaoyun gave an estimate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay... We'll be waiting for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the girl's voice suddenly came out at the same time, making Xiaoyun realize that Leyan had put her phone on speaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really do miss them... Don't I?\" Xiaoyun murmured to himself as he hung up the call, dialing Zhen Ren's phone number next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dialing almost a hundred times, it finally went through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhen Ren, you there?\" Xiaoyun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no sound came from the other side, causing Xiaoyun to think about the code he needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The king covers the tiger?\" Xiaoyun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms... Commander! You finally called back! I need to ask you something very important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um, the whole thing that you set up in the metro... There's a standoff right now between people who want to join us and people who want to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days ago, Mr.Lianzheng called me, asking us to intervene directly. But I said no after considering the risk of going to one of the nearest metro stations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did I do the right thing? Should I have accepted it? I feel like you wanted us to stay a distance from them, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun thought for a second, then replied with a yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You did the right thing. We already gave them everything they needed... It's up to them to save themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, how's the progress in clearing Foshan?\" Xiaoyun asked as he changed the conversation's direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um, we're facing a little difficulty. For some reason, the zombies here looked a lot more experienced in fighting humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's like they have someone directing them where to attack our troops... Commander, I'm sorry. I-I had already lost ten people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhen Ren's voice sounding a little down, Xiaoyun didn't go too hard on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just be more careful next time... Remember, you got all the time in the world to clear it... Also, there might be an actual zombie leader in this city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun replied as he thought back to the zombie that stood on top of the titan mutant's skull, which almost looked like a leader to all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? Another kind of mutant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah... Also, there are titan mutants that are even taller than tank mutants. But they looked a lot more flimsy than tank ones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander... You aren't serious, are you?\" Zhen Ren asked in an uncertain voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do I look like I'm joking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No sir... I'll go tell that to the rest of the army——\" Before Zhen Ren finished, the phone signal disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dang it. The cell towers are really going to die in this whole country.\" Xiaoyun murmured as he thought back to the cell tower they had created in the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun fell into his deep train of thought, Kate walked out of the room with only a towel wrapped around her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite walking in front of him and bowing down to get her clothes on the bed, he still didn't look back at her a single time, causing her to question her look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How's this pervert not looking at me once? Did something change in him?\" Kate thought to herself as she began changing next to the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she finally finished changing, she tapped on Xiaoyun's shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can take a shower now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun headed to the shower, Kate felt a little weirded out. He looked more completely than usual, engulfed in some deep thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after he came back out of the shower, he was finally back to his usual self as he instinctively sit down next to Kate on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, what are we doing next? Are we heading back now?\" Kate curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not yet... I have some weird feeling I should stay here just for a day or so.\" Xiaoyun replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What weird feeling? When did you get a woman's sixth sense?\" Kate joked to lighten up the mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm serious... You remember that zombie that stood on top of the titan mutant, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. What about him?\" Kate asked as her face turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just feel like... He was directing all the zombies at that moment. Almost like a leader directing its soldiers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1531,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","6c6b72cf1c2544760bf7cb14f9d84efd40b0d671123dbfda3cb59eb760239561","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-366","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-364",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
