They just sent me a stack of paper yesterday for you to read.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down, there was a bold letter with the word classified information with the head of logistic office stamps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, Xiaoyun began opening the first document.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Operation Zero Hour... Who came up with these names?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun began reading the document, he realized it was Yiming's plan in Dongguan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first pieces of paper outline the plan he was using to execute the reclamation of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From reading the first page all the way to the end of the 1st document, he was amazed by how perfect everything was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To start, control the bridges. Then, establish a safe zone for the other side to prepare for gradual expansion with small, individual unit infiltrations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every step of the way was planned out, with room for maneuver and adjustment according to the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no major flaws based on Xiaoyun's informal military experience from all the plans he had made with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only issue he found was the speed of the set plan, as the estimated end date of the operation was next year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering it was only April right now, the plan was way too drawn out to be sustainable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the same time, the operation time Yiming gave was counting both Dongguan and Shenzhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a bit, Xiaoyun chose not to add any comment or suggestion to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't want to end up as an outsider directing professionals on how to do their jobs, not to mention that Yiming was his military teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the next document... Operation Iron Shield?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun put the first document aside, he was surprised to see that the second stack document was Yezi's plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you so surprised?\" Yuqi asked curiously, as it seemed normal to her that Xiaoyun's general write a plan of their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continue reading on m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because Yezi hates writing plans out... I was the one who always wrote most of the stuff when the three of us made any plans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xiaoyun answered his question, he began reading Operation Iron Shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Yiming's plan, Yezi went with a much more aggressive approach in Zhaoqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than gradual expansion, he opted to cut the city into small parts and clear the zombies by gathering them all together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weirdly enough, Yezi's plan stopped right after entering the entrance a few miles, and there was no further movement afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was practically just getting to the high ground of the city and securing highway the chokepoints from entering Zhaoqing from all three sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun reads the next few pages, he still doesn't understand why Yezi is opting out of fully clearing the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is even more confused when he gets to the part where Yezi splits the army in half, with Han Bang leading the other half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when he got to the ninth page of the document did he finally understand Yezi's decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Guangxi reports of zombie hordes bordering Zhaoqing were making it way too risky to clear the city fully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is especially true when you consider that Zhaoqing and Jiangmen are in different directions, with one in the south and the other in the west.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Yiming didn't have to worry about multiple flanks as both Dongguan and Shenzhen were mostly from the east.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Iron Shield was intended to let Yezi's unit stay in a defensive position while Han Bang cleared most of the Jiangmen before the two reunited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as Xiaoyun expected, there was a third document named Operation Jiangmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first page had Han Bang's signature at the top, with Yezi's stamp of authorization right below it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he flipped to the next page and began reading, he was shocked by Han Bang's crazy plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had turned completely 180 degrees, away from his usual safe, conservative approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was something that he expected out of Lingang, not Han Bang out of all people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shelling the city? What the hell is he thinking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he read more and more, Xiaoyun slowly calmed back down as he realized it wasn't too crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plan was to shell the unfinished, abandoned condo to draw the zombies' attention up north, not directly at the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his army can send in small amounts of troops to lure them towards a flat plain to strike them from a high ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it worked, the payoff would be massive, as the estimation was over 20% of the zombies in the city would be cleared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the risk involved was still very high, as Han Bang's unit wasn't fully motorized, meaning he couldn't run away if things went wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, Han Bang only had half of an army corp, with the other half still being led by Yezi in Zhaoqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to reject this... But what if it works?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun started to feel a little conflicted. He didn't want a drawn-out war on both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The idea of a quick war, at least on one side, was too appealing in terms of the logistical stress it would put on Luoping and Guangzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lot of resources were already being funneled into the Qijing merger and the resettlement of people to Foshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is in addition to the report of the settlement that Lingang had set up in Qingyuan for the refugees from up north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun was starting to regret expanding the military with two more army corps, which added another cost to the government.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he made the executive decision to let Han Bang try the plan out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong? Your face looks a little stressed.\" Yuqi asked as she closed her laptop and turned towards Xiaoyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just some expenses... Don't worry about it. I'll handle this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun finished reading the third document, he was a little surprised to see that there was one more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the other three, there was no title name or anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it was just a report from Lingang, with a detailed account of what he had seen in Changsha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the even stronger mutants up north to new zombie mutations that Xiaoyun had never seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the very last page, Lingang flat out started making absurd requests ranging from making his Division into a Corps to air strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, Xiaoyun denied all of the requests besides the ammo reinforcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering that the logistics department had already approved it, Xiaoyun didn't even need to write anything about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whew... Finally, finish catching up with all the work——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woah, who said you're done? You don't realize you missed almost half of the week of work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi interrupted as she headed over to her cabinet before carrying out a stack of documents onto his desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, I trust you to make all the decisions. You can just make it for me——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You wish. I'm not dealing with the overinflated military budget you have caused.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun's face blushed, as he could already predict that the military cost for this month would be way over the roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he opened the first document, he was surprised to see a decrease rather than an increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he soon realized he just held the document the wrong way, as the sharp decrease was actually a sharp increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Food consumption was, once again, skyrocketing as it never seemed ever to decrease at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there was no way to decrease ever since the population under their control was ever increasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing to worry about was the food production, which had been climbing higher and higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After flipping through the first document for a bit, Xiaoyun finally found the food product report for the week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he expected, it was only increasing by a small amount, with barely any effect from the experts he had sent to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he remained fully calm, as the implementation would take at least a month to take effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the food stockpile hadn't run out, everything was still fine for him to stall it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was answered on the next page, with a critically low level of food storage report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, an asterisk was right at the bottom of the statistic, stating the food from Hunan has not yet been counted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The food shipment, particularly the canned fish from Foshan, has also not yet been delivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was looking to be going in a good direction until he saw the next document.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For fuck sake...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun leaned back onto his chair in defeat as the government was once again way over budget.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deficit once again rose, although it was still manageable as the central bank had enough to loan to the government.\u003C\u002Fp>",1514,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","f984b065fbd3ade31b44e0584f7175030eff6c683e1ba0057663238fb99384fc","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-446","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-444",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
