So, probably one more week or so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay... Is everything going well?\" Xiaoyun suddenly asked as they started brushing his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone is going to their jobs and everything. Even Shuli headed back to work at her school again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. She flat-out brought her baby to her office, and nobody really cares since she's practically working at a daycare anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about you? You feeling fine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leyan turned over to Xiaoyun for a second before turning back to rinse her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you suddenly asking so many questions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm just making sure since I have been gone for a week and a half... You know I can't keep track of everything in the household.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then maybe you should control your lust for once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Leyan reached over to grab her clothes, she quickly reached her hands down to grab onto his crotch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're going to save this energy until we get back home, okay? I don't want to make this awkward for Huayi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun slowly nodded as she let go of her hand, turning her attention back to freshening up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, why are you up so early? Isn't there still an hour and a half before you go to work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just don't need to sleep as much... Hey babe——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope, don't even think or ask about it... If you hold it for a week, we'll give you a special reward, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the word 'we,' Xiaoyun accepted her demand and shifted, beginning to wash his face with a splash of cold water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You promised.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I promised.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're going to see me be the most abstain monk for a week. You won't see me ask for it a single time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun left the bathroom with that sentence out, Leyan shyly looked towards the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, Leyan, you're at your friend's place. Don't show off when she's lonely at home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xiaoyun arrived in front of the administrative office, there was only a security guard standing at the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun walked closer and took out his ID card, he quickly noticed the security guard dozing off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beep!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who's there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security guard quickly sat back up, only to see Xiaoyun putting his ID card away after scanning it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good morning... If you're sleepy, why don't you go take a nap?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just ten more minutes before my night shift ends... Sorry, Mr. Governor.\" The security guard apologized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun headed inside the administrative building, he slowed down a little to examine the first floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a while since he had actually walked around the building itself, which had undergone several iterations of changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the structure itself was still only two floors, it was clear there was starting to run out of space from all the cramped boxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything needs to be renovated... Maybe I should really consider moving to Guangzhou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking down the aisles reinforced Xiaoyun's idea, especially as he compared it to the administrative building in Guangzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having an entire office building compared to just two floors was nowhere near enough, causing Yuqi to separate departments in different places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite knowing that it would be more efficient to have them all centralized in one place, they were forced to be scattered around town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After having a good look, he headed back upstairs before taking his keys out to open the office door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he entered inside, he quickly noticed a box full of documents next to Yuqi's seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This wasn't here yesterday... Where did it come from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, Xiaoyun decided to open it and look at what was inside. To his surprise, the document was full of various reports.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh right, it's May report.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun facepalmed himself as he had completely forgotten it was the start of a new month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking all of the paper out onto the desk, he began to read over them one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first one was a report from the finance department, which reported tax revenue growth but a small trade decline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interestingly enough, rather than a trade deficit as expected with the new currency, the outsiders seemed to double down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all choosing to spend the money in Luoping and holding the new currency that had been introduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, the central bank shows actual growth in saving rather than the usual stagnant deposits and withdrawals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slight concern was raised, as the citizens in Luoping and Guangzhou were both trending towards saving money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very end of the central bank's report, it stated policy advice to cut rates to boost spending and create artificial inflation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really... More inflation even though we already inflated the new currency amount by five times?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun chose to put it on the back burner because he felt there weren't enough goods to match the amount of money in the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although inflation would boost people's willingness to spend money on domestic consumption, it needed to be a long-term solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the financial report, Xiaoyun moved on to the next document, which was the public health.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one only took a few minutes to scan compared to the half an hour of reading, as nothing good or bad was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only concern raised was the typical issue of vaccination, which was practically non-existent besides the critical ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hospitals were starting to run out, with the ones available in cities and abandoned hospitals in cities all damaged or unusable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the only solution was to throw money at the problem, as the hospital had already begun to develop its medical lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was still a long way to go, even with cross-collaboration with the Department of Virology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More funding, more funding... It's always just more money needed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun didn't really object to it as he wrote a little note to himself to allocate more funding to the health department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he realized that Tianci's department was now public and could not be hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bringing more talent to it could be a good thing, but it could also be a bad thing in terms of the attention that outsiders might see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was too late to change it, considering Yuqi already had her interview with the newspaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wouldn't it be handy if she didn't kill those scientists... No, no, what am I thinking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those scientists conducted illegal testing. But then, how about Tianci? She——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, Xiaoyun quickly got that thought in his mind, turning his attention back to the paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop thinking about that, you idiot. She's your wife. She was a victim and was forced into it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the second report, Xiaoyun took out the third report, which was the police department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he expected, it was just the usual funding needed to function properly and efficiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a simple rejection, Xiaoyun continued reading the police reports and checking the crime rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had a drastic jump, but it was all petty crime from the people who had just moved in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From breaking into leaving the designated area, it was all still manageable as the re-offending rate was less than 1%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were clearly only doing it once out of desperation, and he couldn't really blame them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The refugee aid was only enough for them to survive, and after survival was met, it was only natural for them to start having thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those thoughts crossed the legal lines, from stealing to robbery to even selling kids out in the open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I let in a bunch of criminals or something?\" Xiaoyun jokingly murmured to himself as he quickly dismissed the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statistical rate was still only hovering around 2-3%, nowhere near what the actual majority of refugees are doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most were still law-abiding citizens just trying to survive, and in extreme cases, they simply didn't know the laws of Luoping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, their disadvantaged situation didn't justify their action, as many of them are incarcerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of their sentences were only a few days, with none of them longer than a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, he felt some of the crimes were let go lightly until he saw the prison capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost all of them were full, with makeshift ones just using different office buildings in Guangzhou as prisons.\u003C\u002Fp>",1520,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","f06f730b4c5674baebe7c3b4a0f97def804224a7edee2ddf0fabd75311b9b1ca","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-467","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-465",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
