Why would he join a terrorist organization? Fuck I should have realized it——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's okay. No one blames you. What matters is that he's is caught now.\" Ningjing murmured as she gently patted him on the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's right. No one asks you to do that. Finding out spies is Renqin's and Yueyue's job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You two can go back to your tent early. I'll clean this up and tell you guys the plan tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two nodded as they silently left the room, leaving Xiaoyun alone before Tan Pi and Bai Bing came back from their mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander Xiaoyun, what do we do now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing their voices, Xiaoyun could feel a deep admiration with a hint of fear that he couldn't avoid at this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Head back to your camp and be ready tomorrow. I'll announce the new operation plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two left the tent, Xiaoyun sat back down before looking at the blood that had splattered onto the map and table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strong stench of blood remained, but his mind didn't even notice it as a bigger issue was in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was bigger than the army, bigger than all the problems he was currently facing in Zhaoqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kate...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiaoyun was about to get up from his seat, the two cloaked figures had once again entered the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think, Commander Xiaoyun? Do you trust us now?\" Liu Peng questioned as they lowered their hoodie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't want to trust you two... But it looks like I don't have a choice here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You won't regret it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun sat up from the table, there was a single piece of paper right before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inside contained a list of names, ranging from janitor workers to department officials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw some of the names, he was surprised at how much the secret society had infiltrated his settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, some of them had no clear connections that prove those on the list were directly connected, with only indirect payments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had broken the laws in one way or another, regardless of who was behind some of the indirect payments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were to count some of the indirect payments, even he would technically be under arrest for corruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The list given was simply a rough estimate that still needed to be searched further for evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, the fact that these two had gotten all this information made him a little intrigued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he decided to ask them about it, they only told him that the laboratory has eyes everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the base he had cleared, it was only a small operation that barely affected their goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It started to confuse Xiaoyun, as he didn't understand why the secret society seemed to be helping him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, considering all the things he had done against them, it doesn't make sense for them to help him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did they run back to here?\" Xiaoyun wondered as he stepped out of the tent with the list of names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he walked down the dirt path, he quickly put the paper inside his jacket before heading toward a certain area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blood bag!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With several nurses running in and out, he felt like he was at the field hospital as Liu Peng stood outside the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How's your friend inside?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Liu Peng look barely awake, Xiaoyun knew he had stayed up all night outside the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can go sleep for a bit if you want. The doctors will tell you if the operation was successful or not when you wake up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun didn't pursue him any further as he headed back towards the HQ tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering inside, he began to look over Yezi's plan, which had been left over in the drawer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time to work...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few hours later...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun finished modifying Yezi's plan, he finally made a rough draft he was satisfied with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the most part, it still followed most of his tactics of clearing and securing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with a much safer approach to clearing street by street, rather than trying to create an encirclement of zombies by cornering them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it would take longer, he can't afford more instability for this mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander Xiaoyun?\" Tan Pi's voice appeared, along with several footsteps right behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome. Take a seat. I'll explain your upcoming plan to you all...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all got the plan and ready to execute it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All four colonels nodded, agreeing with Xiaoyun's plan as they could find no flaws in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember, you have the flexibility to change it on the spot. Don't follow it like a gospel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them nodded again, leaving Xiaoyun satisfied as he moved on to the next part of his presentation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now I want you guys to bring these soldiers over. Please bring them over and fully restrain them when they get here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After naming twenty different people, the faces of the four colonels change as they all reconganized the names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear what the list was implying, especially after seeing what happened yesterday and the word 'restrain.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All four of the Colonels immediately left the tent, leaving Xiaoyun alone once again as he felt a little exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it had only been less than two days, his brain was exhausted from all the problems he had been exposed to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need a secret service...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun thought to himself as he could feel his hands tied from needing the colonels to do all the work for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An idea suddenly popped up in his mind, but he quickly rejected it after remembering what Yueyue wanted as her job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who can lead this job...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a bit, Xiaoyun couldn't think of a good name for this new department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should probably ask Yuqi about this... Or maybe I just use Leyan? She already has some sort of force in the dark.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving it more thought, Xiaoyun began to consider it as a possible solution to this issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn't want to return to Luoping this early. He wasn't ready to face Kate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just didn't want to deal with that issue, despite knowing it was only a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the things they had done together made him want to believe this was just misinformation by those two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his rational mind once again told him there was no other reason for those two to lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It did not make logical sense for her to show up to Luoping alone. It was no coincidence that she showed up with Anna and the three Russians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feed himself lies instead, but the truth was blatantly obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he doesn't understand why she would marry him and even get in bed with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel all the pleasure the two had had together was her genuine love, from the beginning to the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even knowing she was willing to give birth to him, he just couldn't harden his heart to convince himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe she changed her mind... Yeah, that has to be it. She changed to be good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun finally settled the debate as he put away his pistol before a bunch of footsteps appeared near the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, we have them detained in a van. But we didn't find any poison in their mouth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite Mingxu's statement walking in, Xiaoyun didn't seem to be surprised by it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are only involved in a corruption scandal. Not some committed fanatics like the one yesterday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1508,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","871c9efba18ba81dd1cb9bcf3be1a467e278d838c6651bb34c06e4521012c6b9","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-478","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-476",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
