Are you all ready for your top-secret mission?\" Xiaoyun asked out loud, not wanting to waste any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the soldiers followed Xiaoyun into the administrative office, everyone was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a second, the office workers thought the soldiers were storming them until they saw Xiaoyun leading in the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bringing them to the biggest meeting room, Xiaoyun didn't make them sit as he took out a stack of paper he had printed this morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please pass it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a soldier took the stack and began passing it, Xiaoyun turned on the projector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all might be wondering why I called you all back from the front line. I'm going to be straight with you all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need all of you to retire from the front line... Before you ask why, let me show you all this graph.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun took out his laptop from his briefcase and connected to the projector, a PowerPoint appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the food production we have, and this is the food we are consuming every week.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the soldiers seemed a little shocked as they realized the massive deficit Luoping was facing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You might wonder why I picked all of you to retire rather than just having someone to go farming...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here's a statistic that might help you guys understand why... I——No, the country needs your help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next slide showed that the number of farmers was already at a normal percentage relative to the population, yet food production remained low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You probably know what I'm trying to imply. Yes, you all have an agriculture major.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't need more farmers. I need more engineers and scientists who can improve the food production.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun finished his short PowerPoint presentation, the soldier finally finished passing out the paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before you is a contract that will temporarily discharge you from the army to join the agriculture department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All you have to do is sign it, and you can join later when food production has finally caught up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few of the soldiers hesitated for a second, then signed the paper before handing it back to Xiaoyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most of the soldiers remained still, looking down at the paper in their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The choice to leave the army to join a civilian job would have been fine if they hadn't already worked hard for their high position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember, this war isn't just fighting the zombies. All the food you eat needs someone to grow it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one can fight with an empty stomach, so why not use your skill to maximize your contribution to the war effort?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single one of you going to the agriculture department can feed hundreds of soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think about that. I really hope you all make the right decision... Please, the country needs you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xiaoyun's speech, more and more soldiers finally began signing the paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, all of them signed the paper as a stack rested on top of the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you all... Follow me. I'll bring you all to your new job destination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xiaoyun arrived at the agricultural department, hundreds of people were already standing outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huayi, you know where to put these people, right?\" Xiaoyun asked, as Yuqi had already called her about it yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. I know exactly where to put them to help those struggling to farm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun turned back to the soldiers as they looked a little intrigued by the building before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, please follow Huayi's order... The country will remember all of your brave actions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun saluted at the soldiers one last time, they all saluted back at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning back, Xiaoyun look back to Huayi before patting her on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you need more funding or help, just tell me... Their life is in your hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay... Geez, you didn't have to make it so sad. It's not like they are going to die or something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huayi murmured the last part as Xiaoyun turned around and left the scene, leaving the department without going into it once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun walked down the streets, a heavy weight was off his shoulders as the food insecurity was now dealt with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arrived back at the administrative building, he was now facing a problem he made himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How am I going to pay this back?\" Xiaoyun murmured as he stared at the war bond number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were still two and a half months before he had to pay a ludicrous amount of food stamps that seemed almost impossible to obtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with the plan to phase out food stamps with artificial money he had created, it was still doable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi had even already started leaking it to the press, trying to stir support for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he could already tell there would be a lot of pushback, it was a needed move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the massive war bond payment, food stamps were becoming increasingly hard to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially as the value didn't have any decimals and there were too many one-dollar food stamps in circulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi had already implemented twenty and hundreds-dollar food stamps, but they haven't been widely adopted due to their high value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, the name food stamps just doesn't sound like what a settlement's currency should be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I probably should check the designs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun looked at Yuqi's computer, there were already hundreds of internal submissions from the office workers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were scenic pictures with monetary value attached, while others were more sophisticated landmarks like the Canton Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even decided to put his face and Yuqi's face as a submission, which he instantly rejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he saw a submission that drew the soldier's mausoleum, he immediately accepted the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking through a few of them, he froze for a second as he ran into one that looked extremely similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just similar. Rather, it was a photocopy of the country's currency, with the only difference being the color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Xiaoyun's heart, he was conflicted. But in the end, he chose not to use it out of respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt he didn't have earned the right to do so, not to mention the confusion and mixup that it might cause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was safer to avoid getting too close to the touchy subject when a much stronger force was still in the North.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After selecting which picture goes to which value, he finally sent emails to both the financial department and the central bank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could finally begin the printing process, stockpiling them until it was time to replace the food stamps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With everything settled and dusted, it was already the evening as he forgot to eat lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time to go back home... I wonder what Yuqi did for her daughter's birthday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After locking the office door, Xiaoyun headed towards the stairs and then left the administrative building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he walked down the streets, people were all around him, all heading back home from work.\u003C\u002Fp>",1511,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","ad39476fd5a5a88d9cd156808fc3f092feebe8091380932f321d570fafff915b","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-430","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-428",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
