Your husband is my husband's sworn brother... And I should be the one calling you Elder Sister Kate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no, no, Yezi is older than Xiaoyun. I should be calling you Elder sister Huayi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just call each other by name. Stop with all these formalities.\" Leyan interrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two didn't argue any further as they both respected Leyan's seniority as the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, I'm going to head over to Yuqi to work on something. Kate, you can take a break.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun didn't give her any chance to respond as he headed inside the car himself and drove off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey Kate, be honest with me, okay? How many times did you guys do it on the trip?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leyan asked directly, despite Huayi still sitting right next to them and the kids all playing nearby or in their arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-We only did it once.\" Kate quietly replied as she sat down next to Leyan, her face blushing red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only once? He really holds back... Ahem, how did the battle on the bridge go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, all the way over to the administrative building in Luoping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun arrived inside the office again, he felt less staring as he walked past all the office workers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After knocking on the door, Xiaoyun waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering inside, Yuqi was once again sitting in the office with a young woman standing behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who's this person?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked as the young woman left the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My secretary... You better not have any ideas towards her, or else I'm going to chop your balls off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not. I'm not some horny dog. I was just wondering who she was, and that was it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun sat down to his seat, Yuqi immediately took out a stack of paper and threw it to his desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal with your mess. I don't want to deal with this expense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down, the paper was a report of the army's expedition cost to the Humen Bridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Raise the corporate and business taxes to pay for it. It shouldn't be that hard, is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun curiously asked as he handed a simple draft solution along with the paper report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay then. I'm going to raise it under your name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yuqi accepted the paper and started making an official draft, Xiaoyun quickly realized she already knew what he was going to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don't you just do this yourself? You never really care about public opinion, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who said I don't care about public opinion? I'm not going to be a scapegoat taking all the blame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, who do you think this corporate tax is going to target... You dummy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her face blush, Xiaoyun was a little confused until his brain finally absorbed the information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuqi, are you scared of Anna and Kate?\" Xiaoyun asked as he moved a little closer, examining the change on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi's staring at her computer only further confirmed Xiaoyun's idea of her actually considering Kate and Anna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, Yuqi is being thoughtful of her sisters. I never knew you were so kind and grown up instead of fighting internally——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you stop talking for a second? I'm trying to work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi interrupted as she turned her laptop slightly to the side, facing away from Xiaoyun directed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun shifted his attention back to the stack of paper on his desk, Yuqi fixed her hair a little as she murmured something to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dummy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After working for almost the entirety of the afternoon, Xiaoyun had finally finished most of the work that Yuqi had handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them were just decisions he needed to make for the currency change that was already being implemented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was mostly ceremonial, from giving it a name to choosing to roll it out across the cities rather than just Luoping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was more than happy to make that decision, not needing to worry about actual decision-making that would impact his reputation severely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near the end, however, he noticed an important data report that made him much happier than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did food production quadruple? Were all those programs really that effective?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hell no. Those things are going to take at least half a year to take effect. It only quadruples because of fishing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fishing? Is it really that big?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah... It's like the perfect season with almost no barrier to entry. And it's a lot easier to learn than farming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun nodded, he suddenly realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, have the fish mutated or been infected?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope... Why would you ask that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because of all the corpses and zombie blood that flow downstream... Shit——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't panic. It should be fined. What you're worrying probably doesn't matter at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yuqi's face shift from panic to suddenly calm, Xiaoyun got a little confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean don't panic? The fishes are going to be infected if they eat those zombie corpses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's floating into the Pacific Ocean. Even if you dumped millions of zombie corpses into it, that's like barely anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, all of the fish meat has been cooked and heavily salted before being packaged into cans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi's answer calmed Xiaoyun down a little. However, he was still a little concerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're that worried, I'll send a few people to test it... Besides, have you seen Tianci's report?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her report?\" Xiayoun looked back at her in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I even let her post it in the newspaper. Here, read it yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun accepted the newspaper and began reading, he was a little stunned by Tianci's research findings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The headline was literally 'human can eat zombie meat,' sounding like the most far-fetched headline ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as he read further down, he was more and more shocked by the damning evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What! This doesn't make sense.\" Xiaoyun murmured as he questioned Yuqi's intent with the publication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just keep reading it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun continued reading past the headline, he finally understood why Yuqi wasn't so worried earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The report's evidence showed the zombie virus dying after the zombie itself had died for less than an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, the virus itself had changed the zombie's DNA completely, technically making it a different animal species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near the end of the report, a hypothetical process of removing the virus through chemical treatment, allowing it to be eaten hypothetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has they tried this?\" Xiaoyun concernly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told them not to reveal that part to the news report. But yes, they have tried that process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before you think this is a free food hack, it takes a lot of resources just to get a single gram——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why the hell would I think it's a food hack? I would never let that through.\" Xiaoyun interrupted, not wanting to miscommunicate with Yuqi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. It looks like we both have the same idea... You wouldn't believe how much it took me to convince her team to stop this plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two reached a common consensus, Xiaoyun suddenly became a bit confused about how this research came about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, why are they researching in this direction? I thought they were searching for a cure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a finding along the way. You can't expect them to only find the cure without laying the groundwork.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi's point made Xiaoyun nod in agreement as he handed the newspaper back to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okah, is this all the work that I have?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked as his desk was now empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hell no. There are still hundreds of problems that you have to solve. I only gave you the light one for today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, it's time to get off work and go back home... I'm so tired.\" Yuqi yawned as she stretched out her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the two arrived at Huayi's house, all of Xiaoyun's wives and children were at the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm Sorry to interrupt your home like this.\" Xiaoyun apologized as Huayi and her child sat across from her at the dining table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry about it. The mansion feels a little empty anyway. It feels a lot more lively having you guys here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As several maids carried out food from the kitchen, Xiaoyun couldn't help but feel the convenience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leyan, we should really just hire some maids at home, don't you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of Xiaoyun's wives rejected his proposal at the same time, causing him to start eating in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, what's a maid?\" Yongyi curiously asked as Leyan helped put his porridge onto the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A person who works at someone's house... Xiaoyun, I can handle the housework myself, don't worry about that for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiaoyun accepting Leyan's answer, Yueyue still felt he was considering it inside his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, you're not letting more women into our house,\" Yueyue warned as she picked up her bowl of rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay, fine... I just thought maybe Leyan wanted to do something else rather than being forced to take care of kids.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1542,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","dacb0a18530aa33ab7b07bda0153e9517c6f09db1ac461d7a533e7ce0547acf8","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-466","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-464",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
