Then go for it. You can disband Qijing as a city. Just make a town under Guangzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But make sure it transitions smoothly. Leifeng is already stretched out pretty thin when moving people to Foshan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Xiaoyun's agreement, Yuqi immediately got to work and began making a letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, I'm going to go to Foshan for a bit. I'm going to find a mayor that can manage there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah. Go for it——Wait, actually, sign this letter first. I want people to know you're the one who agrees to the idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly signed the paper and then left the office before getting into his car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After driving for a bit, Xiaoyun arrived at Foshan's base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, all of the soldiers that were stationed there were alerted until they saw his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly let Xiaoyun pass, letting him drive straight into Foshan proper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he drove past the various buildings, he could see people with backpacks, salvaging whatever they could to get.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them were going in the same direction as his, towards the mayor's building in Foshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arrived, all the nearby skyscrapers and hotels had already been converted to living spaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People were going in and out, with their faces full of hope as they carried their goods back into their buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun entered the mayor's building, he saw several familiar faces, but none of them tried to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all instantly recognized him as the man the soldiers had shown them when they came to liberate them from the underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he arrived at the mayor's office, a familiar face was already working at the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Lianzheng, it's been a long time since we met again, hasn't it?\" Xiaoyun asked as he entered the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Almost a month, or three weeks and one day to be exact... You need me to do something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun thought for a second, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was thinking I needed someone to be in charge of rebuilding Foshan and communicating with the Guangzhou mayor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mayor for Foshan... But it seems like you guys already figured out who to pick?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lianzheng immediately understood what Xiaoyun was trying to imply and immediately backed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not, Mr.Xiaoyun. I'm just a temporary worker. I'll step down if you want me to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need. You're the original person I had in mind for this. It's just to make this more formal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun paused for a second, then continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In a few days, the mayor of Guangzhou, Leifeng, will contact you and start sending you some supplies and people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Foshan can handle some influx to move in, right? It's not much, just a few hundred thousand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"F-Few hundred thousand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lianzheng looked a little shocked, as if he never heard of such a large number of people within a single settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. But don't worry, they aren't going to come all at once. It's going to be a gradual shift to repopulate the city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll do my best to my ability, sir. Foshan can handle as many people being sent over as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun looked a little surprised by Lianzheng's answer, as he expected him to be more resistant towards it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm confident of it. We had enough food for the entire city. The only issue is they can't be transported far yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lianzheng's answer, Xiaoyun realized there was something in Foshan that he didn't know about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean by this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, there's actually a lot of reservoirs and Aquaculture that are relatively untapped and protected by wildlife regulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had already sent over half of Foshan's population to catch as much food as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We had it all salted and everything. But storing it has been a little difficult since we don't really have the equipment for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I'll have that equipment sent over immediately. Just keep making as much food as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking an official document and handing it over, Xiaoyun talked for a bit before leaving for Foshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arrived in Guangzhou, he told Leifeng about Foshan's issue, which was responded with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leifeng himself left the building, leaving Xiaoyun in the office as he waited for him to come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continue your adventure with m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he did, it was almost thirty minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr.Governor, I had sent a canned goods manufacturer to help them store all the food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's good... You can visit Foshan once in a while yourself. Just communicate with Lianzheng to make sure the moving goes smoothly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leifeng nodded, noting every word that Xiaoyun said out loud as if it was some sort of gospel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember, this is not a competition of some sort. We all are surviving in this outbreak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There's no need to make one feel superior over another... Also, have you received the letter yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What letter? The governor's letter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leifeng looked a little confused and even more confused when Xiaoyun explained his question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you not received the letter about Qijing merging with Guangzhou yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Leifeng shaking his head, Xiaoyun started explaining the plan that he and Yuqi had put forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, do you understand our goal of merging it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do... But I'm not sure if I can really manage this wide of an area.\" Leifeng raised his concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry. We'll send more officials to help you transition it. Besides, there are still going to be lower positions that remain in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's not like we're firing everyone to have you guys take over. It's an integration, not layoffs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leifeng nodded as he seemed a little nervous but didn't question Xiaoyun's plan any further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember to communicate. If you have any trouble you can't deal with, don't be afraid to call me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun left the office again, entering his car before driving back to Luoping again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm finally done with heading out...\" Xiaoyun murmured as he drove closer and closer to Luoping's entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being let inside, he headed straight to Yuqi's office, stopped at the door, and knocked on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun entered inside, a person was already inside reporting the financial statement to Yuqi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, you can go back and tell them to print a small bit to offset the amount.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the office worker left the room, Xiaoyun got a little intrigued by what the two were doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What printing? Offseting what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The budget, duh... There are just too many traders that have been taking out currency and traveling up north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's drying up the market's cash flow, so I had to print some to ensure that there was enough in the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't even get why they are doing that. It's not like our currency can be used outside of our cities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun thought for a second before a dark idea began forming inside his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe other settlements have used our currency as trading chips.\" Xiaoyun suddenly suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I doubt that. Who would use a foreign currency as their main currency for trade?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sounds like suicide if I ever heard of it. We could literally change the currency at any moment, and they would be screwed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun fell into silence for a second, but then he noticed a flaw in Yuqi's argument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, Yuqi, you are keeping track of how many food stamps have left our cities, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, you could call it that... At least a close estimate of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you tell your border patrol to make sure no one brings over a certain amount?\" Xiaoyun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean by that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi seemed a little confused by Xiaoyun's point until he explained his worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm worried that someone might be trying to do a trade war... If someone has a lot of our currency, they could overflow our markets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if we have food rations and ID in place, they might just give the food stamps for free just to crash our economy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're saying one of our enemies is doing this?\" Yuqi asked in a concerned voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe. It's better to be safe than sorry... There's no point in them holding on to that currency, as you said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the town knows that we print more food stamps into circulation once in a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi nodded in agreement as she quickly started making a letter to be sent to the border patrol headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun looked at the map on the wall, he started to suspect something was happening in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assassination attempt on him had made him paranoid once again, despite knowing it was more of a lone wolf attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll be back. I'm going to head over to Yueyue's place to check something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing the door and leaving the building, Xiaoyun's head was still clouded as he felt he had lost control of things under him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling was becoming stronger and stronger as he began walking towards the Internal Security department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was almost no rational reason to doubt any of the people working under him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yezi and Yiming made no sense, as both of their age were much greater than his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren't going to have ambition out of anywhere in life, especially with how most soldiers reverently devoted to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Yuqi and Yueyue practically had full control of Luoping in every inch of how the town functions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, they were his wives, the only thing he had sworn in his life to protect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only left three influential outsiders: Renqin, Leifeng, and Lianzheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all three of them could not keep their positions if it wasn't for him handpicking them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1616,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","551e49efa3b81f85bc4408b9d6e41ed6d5ce005823e4e13acd8a9b28b92339c0","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-420","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-418",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
