But he's having a meeting with a customer right now.\" The receptionist on the other side answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, call me back when he's done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yuqi hung up the call, she looked over to Nami, who was still standing there and looking a little nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Nami.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can't wear so casually if you want to work in the bank, you know that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right. Um, I'll go buy a suit later——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, let me come with you. It's almost lunch break now anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi forcefully dragged Nami with her, heading out of the office before locking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your next chapter is on m v|l-e-NovelBin\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Xiaoyun was all the way in the printer room, next to Yuqi's secretary, who was watching it print.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr.Mayor——I mean Mr.Governor, you don't have to wait here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry about me. I have nothing much to do besides waiting... Oh, snap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun suddenly ran down the stairs, leaving the building and heading straight to the training field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arrived, he immediately went to the military storage unit, only to see that the four guards were already back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys deliver the food?\" Xiaoyun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We had delivered it to the mayor as you directed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whew... Thanks for the hard work, everyone. You all are great people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun padded one of their back before leaving the training field and began driving his car back to Guangzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After driving for less than ten minutes, he arrived at Guangzhou's administrative building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So much back-and-forth today...\" Xiaoyun murmured as he parked his car and entered the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he reached the top floor, he was surprised to find Leifeng not there, only to realize it was already lunch break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heading down all the way to the first floor, he finally sees Leifeng eating next to a few office workers at the communal cafeteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr.Xiaoyun!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leifeng waved as Xiaoyun walked all the way to his table before sitting down at an empty seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I finally found you. How's the recruitment going so far?\" Xiaoyun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amazing. So many people showed up that I'm pretty sure we're about to reach your goal today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today?\" Xiaoyun asked in a little surprise tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, today. We already have 174,220 people signed up. It's going to have even more people in the afternoon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's good to hear... Wait, did you apply any standard to it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Standards?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Leifeng's face look a little confused, Xiaoyun facepalmed himself for forgetting to tell him the requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The soldier's recruit has to be at least 16-36 and has to be in good health.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, you're talking about this requirement. Of course, we use the same standard you gave us for the militia a few days prior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the age. We had to eyeball it to be close enough since we couldn't really fact-check their age before the outbreak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some might have been falsely reporting their age... Also, most of them are still a little malnourished.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's fine. That can be determined later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiaoyun was about to bring up his idea of moving some of the people to Foshan, he suddenly sensed something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he turned around, a man walked past with a tray, heading over to his table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr.Xiaoyun, what's wrong?\" One of the office workers curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, Xiaoyun stood up from his seat before pulling his gun out and pointing it right at the strange man who had just walked past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Put your hand into the air.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the communal cafeteria was a little shocked as they all noticed it was the mayor who was pointing a gun at a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, the man seems to be resistant to Xiaoyun's command despite a gun pointed at his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I ask what caught your attention, Mr.Xiaoyun?\" The man asked as he finally raised his hand into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holding a tray one-handed and tucking something into your pocket after I turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't you think you look a little stupid for that? What are you looking at? Go call the police.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several bystanders finally got up from their seats and headed over to the guards at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they arrived in the cafeteria, they were just as shocked as everyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come over and tie him up. I want an answer——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr.Governor, can I take him away instead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man intervened and interrupted Xiaoyun from talking to the two guards who had just come in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm from the Department of Internal Security. This is my badge number and my ID.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking at it for a bit, Xiaoyun handed the assassin over to him before looking back to the guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One of you go tell your branch of the police department to hire more people. I don't want to see this place unguarded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everything calmed back down, Xiaoyun turned his attention back to the alerted bystanders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, everyone can resume eating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiaoyun sat down in his seat, everyone was clapping as if he had saved their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr.Xiaoyun, you sure have a busy day today, haven't you?\" Leifeng asked as he started digging into the rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. I visited five different places in a single day today. And it's only noon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first week of the month is always the busiest.\" One of the office workers commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I feel like it's going to be busy for me the entire month...\" Xiaoyun murmured as he thought about the workload he had set up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From managing the soldier's recruits to the militia that had already been recruited in all three cities that he still hasn't seen yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, Wuli and Shuli are both going into labor later this month, and the war bond payment is still lingering in the background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leifeng, how many people are in Guangzhou exactly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"956k people last time I checked.\" Leifeng instantly replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many people can you say Guangzhou can currently handle?\" Xiaoyun asked another question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the metropolitan area we are in, it's about 300k people. But we can stretch it to around 340k.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given more time and enough supplies to gather all the resources, it can easily handle over 10 million people in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many supplies are there to gather in Guangzhou?\" Xiaoyun asked, disregarding the future potential for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Half of the city is still mostly untapped besides soldiers that went over to each of them and cleared it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had already allowed almost 200,000 of the 856,000 people to settle in that area to attempt to reduce the strains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of them are already attempting to farm in more rural areas on the city outskirts with leftover equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it's kind of hard to manage them so far away from the metropolitan area unless I send in the police force once in a while to check.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After doing all the calculations, Xiaoyun came up with a number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So with 200k gone to be sent to Luoping and 300k settled in those untapped zones, you are currently directly managing 556k people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. If assuming no more people come to our city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's still 216k people over the limit. What if I told you that you could move those people somewhere else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? Where?\" Leifeng asked, his voice unable to hide his excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuqi and I had been considering moving some of them over to settle in Foshan instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And don't worry—Foshan is already cleared, except for a few remote areas on the outskirts of the city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Leifeng and the other two office workers fall into silence, they are still a little hesitant about Xiaoyun's plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr.Mayor, how many people are in Foshan right now?\" One of the office workers asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About less than 10k people. It's still a relatively untapped city compared to Guangzhou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short consideration, Leifeng stood up and suddenly bowed down in front of Xiaoyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Mr.Xiaoyun. You have helped us do our job so much easier!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem. I'm the leader, after all.\" Xiaoyun replied as he hid in the urge to scratch his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll go make a list and start recruiting people to move to Foshan tomorrow——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not tomorrow. That's way too fast. How about you make a list first, and I'll help you move them next week?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leifeng accepted Xiaoyun's suggestion, as he still had enough food to last a while after the food that had been delivered earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, I got to go now. I'll be back to get those soldier recruits back to Luoping tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun headed out of Guangzhou's administrative building, he headed inside his parked car before driving it back to Luoping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he arrived back home, it was still barely past one o'clock, with the sun still high up in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does time go so slow today?\" Xiaoyun murmured as he took out his keys to unlock the door.\u003C\u002Fp>",1501,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","b5159cc9b1f649f076b96a049c1045d79aa929e69f807a40e11fc25ac29e6d23","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-416","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-414",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
