I'll be back after I go meet up with her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they watched Xiaoyun leave the backyard, the only sound was the sizzling sound from the grill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two can stop now,\" Huayi ordered, and the maids quickly followed suit with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who's Hou Qin? Where did Xiaoyun go?\" Lily curiously asked as she brought all six of the babies with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just some military stuff——Anyway, come here, Lianrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sun set on the horizon, Xiaoyun was walking down the logistics office's hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several staff were still working in their offices, with various kinds of workload on their desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he walked into the main office, he saw Hou Qin sitting there, working on some paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander?\" Hou Qin sounded a little surprised as she looked over to the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I changed my mind. Just tell me what you called me for right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hou Qin didn't say anything as she started looking through the files on her desk before taking a small envelope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General Yezi sent this mail over. And he also sent over a radio message earlier reporting the same info.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun accepted the envelope and opened it, his face suddenly shifted darker and darker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the loss that Yezi's army had endured, being over almost 300 total in the past month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, one of the losses was an entire company being trapped in the metro with zero chance of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After standing still for almost a minute, Xiaoyun finally spoke up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hou Qin, can you send a message over to Yezi——Actually, scratch that. I'll go there myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun headed towards the exit, Hou Qin immediately got up from her seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, are you going to Zhaoqing alone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry about it. I know how to use a map... If my wives showed up and asked, tell them I went over to Guangzhou for a mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiaoyun determined to go alone, Hou Qin said nothing besides saluting him as he left the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun entered his car, he immediately drove straight out of Luoping before getting straight onto the highway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the road almost empty, Xiaoyun floored the gas peddle as the engine roared louder and louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching the outer proximity of Guangzhou, Xiaoyun quickly slowed down as abandoned cars and burnt trash began to appear on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After driving for just an hour and a half, he arrived near the city outskirts, with Yezi's army camp just down the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the phone started ringing just as he was about to arrive at the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking over to the side, he sees it was Leyan calling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello? I'm driving right now——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are you driving? The sun is almost down already,\" Leyan asked, and Xiaoyun could feel the worry in her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just dealing with some task in Guangzhou. Oh snap, I got to go now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun hung up the phone, he lightly tapped the brakes as the car reached the roadblock ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Step out of the car and identify——C-Commander?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you help me park this car? I'll be back later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun exited the car and handed the key over, the two soldiers still couldn't believe who was in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold wind blew onto their faces, waking them up as they turned around and looked back to the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun was already long gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking past all the soldiers sitting outside their tent, Xiaoyun could feel the mood feeling a little grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as soon as the soldiers noticed him walking down the road, their faces instantly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was mostly confusion for most soldiers, with a small fraction realizing something big was about to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of them even connected the dots between what happened in the morning and Xiaoyun's arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for a bit, Xiaoyun finally arrived at the HQ tent as he pushed aside the heavy flaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make sure every single metro is sealed here, here, and here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yezi was standing right before the map, with two colonels standing right next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys got everything settled?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun's voice finally made them look up, causing them to be a little shocked before returning to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You got the message?\" Yezi asked as he signaled the two colonels to leave the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah... How did it end up that bad of a disaster?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked as the two stood alone in the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I overestimated my forces and got too greedy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yezi answered, Xiaoyun could feel the heaviness and a sense of guilt in his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me the details. How did it lead to all this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short silence, Yezi finally spoke up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had sent a few scouts to check out the few of the metro stations across the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them returned empty, so I thought there were no zombies in the metro or at least a very small number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I sent Mingxu's Division to deal with it... It turned out to be a booby trap as the entire metro station was flooded with zombies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did they not retreat in time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was too late... The zombies only appeared after they entered all the way to the metro station itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingxu he... He was forced to shell the entrance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yezi looking a little lost for the first time, Xiaoyun didn't say anything besides patting him on the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should have realized it. The city itself had way too few zombies compared to its original population.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no other place to have them other than the metro. Qingyuan is literally the same scenario——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As the commander in chief, I order you to take a week of temporary leave. You will return to your post after the break.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yezi wanted to argue back, but after seeing the serious look on his face, he relented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yezi left the tent, the two colonels from earlier suddenly peeked their heads out from the tent flaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two, go order the other colonels to come here. I want to hear the progress report.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With everyone gone, Xiaoyun turned his attention to the map as he noticed all the progress already made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entirety of the northern entrance was cleared, with progress being made inching further inward of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the nearby countryside was a completely different story, as only less than a tenth of them had been cleared so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for almost ten minutes, the two colonels finally came back with the other two colonels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander Xiaoyun,\" Xiaoyun murmured as Mingxu and Ningjing were right before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry——Ahem, Colonel Mingxu reporting to duty,\" Mingxu stated out loud as he saluted Xiaoyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Colonel Ningjing reporting to duty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where's the fifth one——never mind, I remember now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun waved his hand just as the two older colonels were about to speak up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can each of you report your job assignment and your strategy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four colonels looked over to each other before the most senior one stepped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm assigned to clearing the rural countryside. But General Yezi ordered me and Ningjing to swap earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My strategy involved sending the soldiers to the rural countryside, based on the map, and clearing them that way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have been relatively slowed down due to the lack of vehicles, but we have been gathering fuel and vehicles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun nodded as he turned his attention to the second colonel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm assigned to set up defenses for Wuzhou, both in the Northern and the western flank from Guangxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have already set up several checkpoints and sent out scouts to make sure we have advanced warnings before they arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And we're also maintaining the gains we had made in the Northern part of Zhaoqing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun nodded as he turned his attention over to Ningjing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm assigned to clear the city's valuable target.
