Boss, you wouldn't be mad because of that, right?\" Renqin nervously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would I be mad? Working together is better than having you two be rival departments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, I'm going to head back home now... Call me when you finished investigating the list. \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Xiaoyun out of the office, Renqin opened his drawers to put away the plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he grabbed the plan from the table, the picture frame inside the drawer caught his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The picture was a woman holding a man's arm, standing on a grass field with a bridge right behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After staring at it for a bit, he put the picture and the plan back into the cabinet before looking over to the paper on his table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did the boss get this paper?\" Renqin muttered to himself as he read the names inside his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiaoyun left the intelligence department and put on his face mask, he bumped right into someone around the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry.\" Xiaoyun apologized, reaching out to help the fallen woman he had bumped into.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After helping her back up, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, almost as if he had met the woman before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he turned around to check her face again, she was already far off into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With only seconds to think, he immediately started through the busy street, moving past the crowds to catch up with the woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the mysterious woman suddenly started running as if she could tell someone was following her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when he was about to lose her, he decided to skip the sidewalk and run on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, no cars were driving by, only bikes and electric bikes riding beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell! Go back to the sidewalk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several bikers started ringing their bell in protest, but they soon were shocked to see Xiaoyun faster than them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a blink of an eye, he was back on the sidewalk as the mysterious woman took a sharp turn to the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they ran through the sidewalk, they were out of the busy street and into a single-unit housing zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Stop running!\" Xiaoyun finally yelled as he could see the woman only a few steps away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mysterious woman started running even faster, constantly taking various turns to widen the gaps between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After what felt like a ten-minute chase, Xiaoyun finally caught up to her, and she ran out of the zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were now in the wilderness, with only undeveloped grassland and a few trees in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you? Have we met before?\" Xiaoyun asked, unable to believe a woman almost outran him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that we're alone. We can finally have a little talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the mysterious woman took out a bag from her jacket, Xiaoyun's hand had already reached inside his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already created a pistol, waiting for the right moment to pull it out from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You brought me here just to talk?\" Xiaoyun questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes... We don't really get a lot of alone time at home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun was in complete shock as the mysterious woman took off an entire layer of her face before throwing it into the bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Underneath the fake face was no one other than Kate, standing right before him as she untied her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kate? What did you bring me here for?\" Xiaoyun asked as he moved his hand back to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you met with those two, didn't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who's those two?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liu Peng and Chen Gang. Those two told you I was a spy, didn't they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun fell into silence as she finally brought up a memory that he had been trying to suppress deep inside his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the can of worms being opened, there was nothing to hide at this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm here to tell you they were saying the truth. From the very beginning, I was sent here to monitor you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiaoyun not reacting much to it, Kate continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm going to be honest with you. Yes, I was the one who directed the coup against you with those two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun finally asked the question inside his mind, unable to understand why someone could have to work for borderline terrorists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because they held my family hostage. I can't refuse their request.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is all your emotion fake then? All that just to trick me?\" Xiaoyun questioned as he took a step closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. I genuinely like you. That's why I gave you my first time... But I can't watch my parents die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm sorry that this has to end this way. I promise I will make it as painless as possible for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun watched as Kate pulled out a gun from the bag before aiming it right at his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think this is enough to kill me?\" Xiaoyun asked as he took another step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate didn't say anything, but her finger remained on the trigger as her hands started to shake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kate, pull the trigger. I won't fight back.\" Xiaoyun dared, moving so close that her gun was point blank against his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the bullet exited the chamber, it was moved at the last minute as the bullet flew past his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you have to make this so hard for me? Why can't you just fight back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate questioned as she threw her gun aside, collapsing onto the floor in despair as she couldn't do it in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I love you——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiaoyun was about to sit down next to her, a loud bang sound traveled right into his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he reached his hand to his neck, there was a massive amount of blood flowing out from the bullet wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry. This is for the great good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After her explanation, Kate quickly pushed him over to the grass before grabbing the paper bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she took out a walkie-talkie, she immediately got a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is target capture?\" The mysterious voice asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, he's dead... Can you let go of my parents now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll need to deliver his dead body to Taishan if you want to see your family alive next week.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the walkie-talkie message ended, Kate suddenly raised her pistol before shooting it right at the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a scream inside, her bullet had hit a target as she turned her attention back to Xiaoyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get up. I know you're not dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After kicking his leg for a bit, she immediately started to get a little worried as he remained unconscious on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a rapid amount of blood continuously flowing out, she quickly squatted down to check on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop acting. It's not funny... Wake up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to reach over to his neck, her hand was quickly stopped by his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I do a good job acting?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked as he opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You did pretty well... How did you know there's someone else out there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate curiously asked as she pushed his blood-stained hands away, wiping the blood off of her finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean, there's no world you're killing me with that pistol. I have to be blind to not see that as an obvious bait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun sat back up, the bullet wound around his neck had long disappeared. But all the blood on the ground indicated he had actually bled for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, did those terrorists really kidnap your parent?\" Xiaoyun asked as he created a bottle of water to wash the blood away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They were kidnapped before the outbreak... I had been blackmailed to act as their spies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate answered as she snapped the bottle out of his hand, washing her hand before handing it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? What did they make you do before the outbreak, then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wasn't lying about the mission to Africa. They were using me in the past as a government spy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just before the outbreak, the CIA contracted me to bring those four to an African warlord.\" Kate explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh. What are you going to do now, then? You still haven't gotten your family back yet.\" Xiaoyun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I don't know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short silence, tears fell onto the grass. Her face looked conflicted and exhausted as she couldn't hold back anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck it, I'm going there myself. You can just forget about me——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Kate got up from the grass, Xiaoyun quickly pulled her back onto the grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, I actually have a little idea to rescue your parents... Do you want to hear it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What idea?\" Kate asked as her sobbing slowed down a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun didn't say it right away. Choosing to move a little closer to whisper it into her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds, she couldn't believe the words coming out of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>",1532,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","870509ef7cbf5a5ca43084011ef20156950fa61f82fda9c0551d8f526233a190","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-494","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-492",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
