Maybe I'm hearing things... Let's just wrap it up. I'm getting a little hungry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiaoyun thought he was being oversensitive, he suddenly heard the sound of the door being closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the ten of them finally arrived downstairs, it was already almost noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the girls acted as if they had just woken up, heading down to the kitchen to heat the breakfast again before eating it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them knew the bathroom door had been opened, except for Xiaoyun, who noticed the slight awkwardness on Lily's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he didn't bring it up, letting the awkwardness disappear on its own as they all ate the breakfast as lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, what do you guys want to do for the weekend?\" Anna curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay home.\" Yuqi instantly replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Same,\" Nami added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With both Wuli and Shuli agreeing to it, she turned over to Leyan for support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, much to her disappointment, she shook her head as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm kind of tired as well... We can go out tomorrow instead, though.\" Leyan compromised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm going to stay home. It's been so hot the past few weeks.\" Nami complained as she rejected the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With most of the girls on Nami's side, Anna could only get Kate and Leyan to go shopping with her. Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breakfast, which was more of a lunch, they all headed back to the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all felt a little bored because there wasn't much entertainment. All of the shows on Nami's laptop had become repetitive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Lily and the babies in the house, none of them were brave enough to ask Xiaoyun just to keep having sex to burn through the weekend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, their bodies and legs were already a little tired, and they did not want to move a single bit as they leaned back onto the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, do something entertaining,\" Yuqi complained as she threw her phone aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you want me to do? I can't just pull some magic trick to entertain you on the spot.\" Xiaoyun answered back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm going to the gym. See you guys.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yueyue walked out of the living room, Wuli and Shuli both decided to follow her to the gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time to go water some plant... Tianci, can you come help me with it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With another two out of the living room, Nami suddenly rolled over to Xiaoyun's lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, do you want just to do a BBQ or something?\" Nami asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We just ate breakfast. And no, I'm not going to do a BBQ. I literally just did it a few weeks ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With another rejection, both Yuqi and Nami rolled to the side in defeat as they turned their attention to Kate and Anna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you two typing?\" Yuqi curiously asked after noticing them typing on the computer nonstop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just some work,\" Anna answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking at it for a while, both of them got bored and once again rolled over to Xiaoyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun... How about we just have sex in my room?\" Yuqi quietly whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, in my room.\" Nami counter-offered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go away. You two need to clear your dirty mind. If you're that bored, just pick up a book or something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun's answer crushed their last hope as they went over to the TV shelf and actually picked up a book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiaoyun thought everything was calm and that he could enjoy the afternoon in peace, his phone suddenly rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For fuck sake...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at his phone, the name Hou Qin was right at the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello? Is this an emergency?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, Commander. But Lingang had sent back an interesting report you might want to check out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll be there in a minute.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he hung up the phone, he quickly created a pair of suits to change right in the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell Leyan that I'm going to be back later for dinner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xiaoyun arrived in the logistics office, a few workers were on weekend duty, typing on some spreadsheets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he walked towards Hou Qin's office, she was already waiting for him with the paper in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How's the situation there?\" Xiaoyun asked as he sat down and accepted her paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's pretty stable in Changsha. He had only requested a few engineers to repair some of the vehicles and even sent some back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's good...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When reading the paper, Xiaoyun was a bit surprised to see the progress being made by Lingang and the Zhongxiong defense force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had managed to clear half of the city, which was much faster than anyone would have anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it had only been less than two months, they had even cleared the countryside and surrounded the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that there were zero losses was even more impressive, considering Lingang's willingness to take risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More surprising was that, near the end of the report, he requested a withdrawal despite the fact that they were clearly on track to finish clearing the city by the end of June.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only reason he gave was superstition. Lingang just feels that a disaster-level event similar to Qingyuan could happen in Changsha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hou Qin, what do you think?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think we should continue supplying Lingang——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not that. I'm asking about the withdrawal. Do you think Lingang should withdraw?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question made her fall into silence for a second until she shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know much about combat, Commander. All I know is how to manage supplies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun thought about it more and more, he eventually came up with two reasons inside his head against withdrawal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first reason was that withdrawing could hurt his relationship with Zhongxiong's forces, especially when they had almost finished the job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second reason was just out of moral obligation, considering they had already paid Luoping and the troop's food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if a disaster similar to that of Qingyuan were to happen again, it would create immense pressure on his government.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long debate inside his head, he came up with a compromise as he quickly took out a blanket paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was going to give Lingang the choice to withdraw, but only signs of unmistakable disaster had appeared or happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Send this letter to Lingang the next time the supply trucks go there,\" Xiaoyun ordered as he handed the letter over to Hou Qin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the report out of the way, Xiaoyun now had nothing much to do in the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hou Qin, you always work on the weekend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't have anything else to do, sir. And the staff are the ones who are working hard over the weekend to have this delivered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun nodded slightly in acknowledgment as he walked around to check what Hou Qin was working on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hou Qin, can you tell me how your job works? I'm just a little curious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll usually get a radio request from each of the army's logistic departments. They will provide us with a code to match up our codebook to make sure they are the right person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the requested item is in our inventory, we will send it within five days, along with other equipment requests nearby.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hou Qin paused for a second, then continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it is an emergency and we have no supply truck, then I'll authorize a temporary seizure, usually from the construction crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this is usually avoided since they usually have supplies up for two weeks and get resupplied every week...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she finally finished explaining it in detail, Xiaoyun could only nod in agreement the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, this is a lot of work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really isn't. The staff members are the ones who work the hardest. They are constantly heading out of town to coordinate all the movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm only making sure everything is in order. If we were to consider the total contribution, I should take the least credit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't lower yourself like that. Do you want anything as a reward for this? I'll fulfill it the best I could.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short silence, Hou Qin shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm only doing what's a part of my job, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You sure? I can try to help you get anything you want. Like a... um.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun's brain couldn't come up with an answer as he didn't know what Hou Qin's interest was at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only things that came to mind were clothes or makeup, but those clearly didn't fit her role as a military officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention how sexist or misleading it could be for him to offer that kind of stuff as a gift to his female subordinate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine, Commander. I don't need anything... Just raise the salary for all the staff, and I would be happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, that was already on the agenda regardless... Just tell me in the future if you come up with something in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm going to head back home now. Call me when Yezi or Yiming sends back their report for the month.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiaoyun got up from his seat, Hou Qin suddenly made a request that made him freeze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander... Can you show me your ability?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1569,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","8e6b6b0bf8bf58d8adf3b99bc4c6ac6ae8edbe5ae8fabbea5a5cee58ec9579fe","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-489","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-487",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
