I have an emergency radio message from Lingang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll be right there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanging it up, Yuqi got a little curious about what he was in a hurry for. But she didn't ask as he rushed out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xiaoyun arrived at the logistics department, a radio operator was already standing next to the head of the department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the message?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's finished scouting Qingyuan and determined that the city itself has only a few stranglers inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that it was the best time to advance... And he also received a diplomat from the Zhongxiong Defense Force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun wasn't really surprised by Lingang's action, as he was the one who made a deal with the mutated zombie to bring them further north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city was always practically empty, and it was only a matter of time before Lingang marched North.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was surprised by the second part, particularly the timing of his advancement and the diplomat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did he talk to the diplomat?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He did, but they gave him a question that he couldn't answer... So he had sent them down towards Luoping instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see... Has he arrived yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not yet——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the radio operator could finish answering, the door to the department room was barged open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The diplomat is here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a hotel lobby outside of Luoping's inner city...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of people stood right behind a middle-aged man who was sitting alone on a table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, your tea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a worker puts the teacup on the table, the middle-aged man sitting in his seat is clearly a little nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, do you know how long until your city mayor is here?\" The middle-aged man asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do not know, sir... But I think they are arriving here soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the worker walking off into the distance, the middle-aged man began examining the hotel he was in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it wasn't as fancy as the one in cities, its creation after the outbreak was what made it impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for a while, the worker finally came back a man who was shocked the moment he saw the middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pinli!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two excitedly ran up and hugged each other, the soldiers following behind Xiaoyun looked a little confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people standing behind the middle-aged man meanwhile looked a little relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're the diplomat that was supposed to meet me?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep... Look at you, god damn. Can't believe you're the leader of a whole city now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah. No need for praise... Pinli, are Uncle Wu and Chengyu doing okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, they are doing fine... Xiaoyun, I'm going to be straightforward with you. I was sent here to request your help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of problem are you? If it is within my limits, I'll try my best to fulfill it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We... We're losing to the zombie. No, I shouldn't even say losing. We had lost to the zombies completely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Completely?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Pinli looking down in sadness immediately raised an alarm bell inside his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We got kicked out of all of the city outskirts, and we're just hiding in the countryside at this point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How? I can understand big cities like Changsha, but all cities? Weren't you close to capturing some of them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun questioned as he thought back to the last foreign report by Renqin regarding Hunan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, we were close. But the sudden zombie migration forced us to evacuate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then the military that was helping us left after learning their base was under attack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that... I can offer you some guns if that's what you need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That will be great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I can't just give it away for free. You know I'm the leader of a town, and now I need to consider other——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand. We are willing to pay. But we don't have much to offer right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's fine. Just give me a list of things you guys have, and I can estimate how much I can trade over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Pinli went back to the group of people behind him to discuss it, Xiaoyun sat on the seat across from him and waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for almost ten minutes, Pinli returned with a piece of paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can offer these things, and we can have them transported over within a week.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Handing the paper over, Xiaoyun began reading it one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The list was pretty long, but most of the items were things that Luoping already had or didn't need.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a few of the items were critical to growing his city and making it even bigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you guys can offer me all of them, I can send an entire army to help you all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xiaoyun's answer, Pinli, along with the group behind him, seemed a little shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"X-Xiaoyun, are you sure you want everything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do I look like I'm joking? I can send 25,000 men to fight for you guys; all I need is you all to transport everything on your list.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seemingly a short back-and-forth within Pinli's group, they finally made a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal. We can transport everything here. But that's going to take at least a month.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pinli pointed out that several of them were heavy-duty construction or farming equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the several hundred tons of rice that was on the list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem... I'll go direct my general that right now. Also, just a reminder that you guys are going to need to feed those soldiers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem. We got plenty of food to spare. We have enough to feed as many as you can send.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun left the hotel lobby, Pinli and his groups could not believe how quickly the deal was made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were expecting a tough negotiation back and forth rather than just a meeting that lasted less than an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pinli, you sure he's not going to scam us?\" One of the men in his group raised his concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sure of it. I know what he is like... If it weren't for him, my dad wouldn't be alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xiaoyun arrived at the logistics office, he immediately told the radio operator to tell Lingang to head toward Hunan instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the message was sent and received with an affirmative, Xiaoyun headed straight back to the administrative office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he walked into the office, almost everyone was already gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did everyone go?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked the janitor walking by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a lunch break, Mr.Governor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right. Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun headed back downstairs, he went to the nearby building, which was named 'Luoping Cafeteria School.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an extremely long building, replacing what used to be a residential area that had moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its place was what the name implied: an actual government cafeteria meant to provide food to all civilian government workers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waving his hand and smiling for the hundredth time to all the workers on their lunch break, he finally saw Yuqi sitting in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I finally found you,\" Xiaoyun murmured as he sat down next to her with a tired face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! What took you so long?\" Yuqi curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just had to talk to a diplomat from Hunan. Anyway, our problems are all going to be solved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep. The food situation and all the equipment we ever needed in one single package.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the cost then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi immediately didn't trust Xiaoyun's answer since it almost sounded like free money falling from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just sending an army to Hunan to help them beat some zombies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep. That's it... I already directed Lingang over to help them take care of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, Hunan... Isn't that place still at war with Jiangxi?\" Yuqi raised her concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, but both sides seemed to be dealing with their own zombie outbreak.

It's totally not because someone entered some sort of negotiation to cause them to head North.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem.\" Xiaoyun quickly coughed to hide his awkwardness as his face blushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the main reasons he was willing to help Pinli was that he felt a little guilty for causing their plan to fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for his deal to let those zombies head up North, their plan to capture the city in Hunan would have most likely worked.\u003C\u002Fp>",1517,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","f395c44c75bfbfc2f80ee01ed17b84335c6528985692f9a276027b51afec1e18","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-433","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-431",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
