My body smells so bad all because of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun only awkwardly scratched his head as the two of them got inside their car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did the buses come from?

No warning or anything... Wait, I think I know where they went.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun didn't explain any further as he headed over to the garage before entering inside the driver's seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is it?\" Kate curiously asked as she sat in the passenger seat this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They have to be at a hotel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just watch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the garage door opened, Xiaoyun quickly drove out of the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, on the way to the hotel, a bunch of construction cars stopped right in front of their house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, the house is under renovation... No wonder why it was so empty like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That explains it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching the construction worker enter inside, Xiaoyun started the car back up as he drove down the street block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you know they are at a hotel?\" Kate curiously asked as Xiaoyun continued driving around Luoping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because that's the only place they could stay... All of the houses in Luoping had already been taken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun continued driving down, the two left the inner residential area of Luoping and returned to the outer part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the two arrived at the biggest hotel in Luoping, the only one allowed to house both outsiders and citizens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the two stepped inside the building, they could feel everyone's attention turning toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"M-Mr. Governor?\" The front desk lady nervously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you receive any customers who are... my wives?\" Xiaoyun quietly whispered the last part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-No, sir. We don't have records of them moving in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two walked back out of the hotel, Xiaoyun decided to head straight to the administrative office first to find Yuqi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he expected, she was sitting in the office with a young woman standing right behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two walked back out of the hotel, Xiaoyun decided to head straight to the administrative office first to find Yuqi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he expected, she was sitting in the office with a young woman standing right behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You finally decided to come back?\" Yuqi murmured as she waved the young woman to leave the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, don't make it sound like I wasn't working. Anyway, where did everyone go?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We moved into Huayi's house for a bit since her husband isn't home anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You probably already saw our house under renovation... Ugh, what's that smell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yuqi pinched her nose with her finger, the two quickly left the administrative office before heading back to the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kate, do we smell that bad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think? We haven't taken a shower for a week. No wonder why everyone's attention was on us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck, I knew I should have just driven off somewhere private to take a shower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two of them arrived at Huayi's house, he could already see Meiya and Huayi sitting on the front porch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the kids were running around the front yard with Bingbing and Wenwen peacefully lying in their arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Welcome back!\" Leyan excitedly waved as Xiaoyun and Kate exited the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry to ask this, but can I take a shower first?\" Kate immediately asked Huayi as they walked up to the porch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, let me bring you there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Kate and Huayi headed inside the house, all of the kids excitedly ran up to him before running away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can talk later. Let me go take a shower as well first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leyan nodded as she pinched her nose to block the sweaty smell that had finally hit her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun immediately entered the house and walked straight to the bathroom, only to run into Huayi standing right outside the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Xiaoyun... You want me to bring you to a different bathroom?\" Huayi asked as she could smell the same sweat smell that Kate had earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun tried to open the door, Kate had already locked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kate, let me in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short, awkward silence, the door finally opened, revealing Kate, who was fully naked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You better not touch me——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun slammed the door shut as he headed inside, but Huayi didn't seem to mind as she headed back to the front porch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are they already that open to each other?\" Huayi curiously asked as she sat down next to Leyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah,\" Leyan answered as if she knew what Huayi was trying to ask despite not going inside the house herself.\u003C\u002Fp>",1595,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","9c2f83b6b1d220a792eed426b703e821a32337865956d2a28a41e5f99248d0aa","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-465","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-463",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
